NYX's candy

Hey there again,
So the products which I shall be reviewing in this post were purchased a while ago, just when NYX opened their first shop in Sliema, Malta.
Everyone who is beauty and blogger conscious was really hyped about their shop opening.
I have 4 products to review in all :

1) Eyebrow Pencil 937: Silver Glitter
This was a free gift which NYX was giving on the first week of the shop's opening....( if one spends more than a certain amount) To be honest I used it once as a highlight for my inner tear duct. This is because glitter is not my cup of tea.

2) Jumbo Eye Pencil 615: Slate
I wanted to get the famous Jumbo eye pencil in Milk but they were sold out when I went. :(  Nevertheless I love the the colour I got- it is like a charcoal grey , has a shimmery consistency and is great for blending or using it as a base.
3) Jumbo Lip Pencil 709: Deep Red 
This was a bit of a let down as you simply cannot use this product on it's own. This is because it can be removed way easily. My opinion would be to use it as a lip liner or a lip filler than apply a coat using another lip stick product. 


4) Liquid Black Liner 06: 
This is such an amazing eyeliner. It is honestly my favorite eyeliner at the moment and I use it pretty much everyday. You can easily use it to make a cat-eye if one wants to. Another point is that if some type of foundation/concealer is used before applying this eyeliner, your look can last you throughout the day.


The below picture shows some swatches of the products I just reviewed. They are in the order in which I talked about above.

Thanks for reading and hope you found this post useful,
Take care

-Body Shop Raid-

Hey there guys,

I know it's been a while since I blogged but I was really busy with exams and uni in general. 
Today I'm going to review some Body Shop products which I had gotten for Christmas.. 


These are 3 Body butters (50ml) each. They come in 3 flavours (respectively) :

1) Coconut Body Butter (8/10)
2) Chocomania Body Butter (9/10)
3) Shea Body Butter (8/10)

My absolute favorite is number 2...the chocomania one. It smells like amazing chocolate which I want to eat.  If you are a chocoholic then you'r going to love this product. A thing which I noticed though is that number 2 has a different consistency than number 1 and 3. Number 1 and number 3 are softer than the chocomania body butter. They are all good moisturizers and leave your skin feeling softer then ever. 



This is from the same chocomania line but in lip butter form. Warning: In my opinion this product isn't for everyone's taste. For me (who happens to be a chocoholic) it is heaven on earth....but for others who aren't that knee on chocolate this may not be your cup of tea. 

This is a 30ml eau de toilette in 'Satsuma/ Clementine'. This isn't my favorite perfume ever and again it's not for everyone's taste as it has a really strong, concentrated smell of oranges. All in all I still like this product, and I'm still using it as my everyday perfume. I give this a 6/10.


This is also from the chocomania line and this is the shower cream. It literally smells and feels like molten chocolate or nutella. It is a good skin moisturizer and I give this product a 7.5/10 

Take care 
A.
