beauty entertains me
Getting sucked in by all the hype makes me buy stuff I wasn’t planning to get. It’s ok to step out of my comfort zone (and have some new content for you guys), but was it worth it for me, personally?
Check the video to find out.
You can buy the Pro Filt’r Concealer at a Fenty Beauty Counter or, depending where you live, at Sephora.
I come to you with a stuffy nose to show you how I’m enjoying the new products I’ve acquired recently, most of them from Hourglass.
Being such an expensive brand, I wanted to do my routine on camera for you to see how it works on me to help you decide if these are some products you’d like to invest in.
This one was so raved that, as soon as I test-drived my sample (as I should always do, impulsive buyer me…) I had to make a video on it.
This foundation retails for around 40$, around 40€, or 39£ — for 50ml —, comes in 40 shades with 4 different undertones, it’s not cruelty free and claims highly customisable coverage, a natural finish, and resisting through water and sweat.
It’s widely available in counters worldwide, and I found it online at Selfridges and, of course, Sephora US.
here it is, the Look Fantastic selection for this month.
and, as usual, my feelings on last month’s products…
It’s been a while since I’ve done an Up Close and Poresonal on an affordable foundation, and it sure has been quite a while since I’ve ventured into the luminous and glowy side of coverage.
The claims on Essence Fresh & Fit Awake Makeup are simple: fresh, glowy complexion, high coverage without mask effect. If you’d like to see how I got along with it through a long day and take notes to see if it makes it into your to-buy list, just click away!
As you may know, Essence is available in drugstores and does not have (as far as I know) an online shop.
here’s this month’s treats on the beauty box and my experience with the products from last month.
how did you get along with them?
it’s that time of the month again ;)

keep in mind the prices/currency exchange and links were the ones available at the moment of this post, trying to use whenever possible the LookFantastic website as reference.
my calculations are simplistic and do not take into account the markup of sample/travel-size packaging:
(full size price ÷ full size amount) × sample amount
Digging into this month’s goodies and sharing my thoughts on the previous month’s products :)
An Up Close and Poresonal on one of the foundations on trend at the moment. Will it suit me? Well, check the video to find out.
you can find this foundation online at Sephora, and, although with limited shades, at Feelunique and Look Fantastic, along with your local Nars stockists.
