Hourglass Veil powder review
I can be quite fussy with powders and loose powders are never my favorite. However, the Hourglass Veil Mineral powder was a powder that greatly impressed me. Here’s why.

Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer review
Today we are reviewing a much hyped up product: the Milk Makeup Hydro Grip primer. A hydrating primer that ALSO extends the wear time of your makeup? That’s something I have to try!

Essence Hydrating & Perfecting primer
Currently in my shop my stash: the Essence primer I am reviewing for you today. I generally like Essence and Catrice primers that come in these little bottles. Catrice has been doing them for the longest time and I have liked every single one of them. Now that Essence does one too, I was of…

Best Powders for Dry Skin
Shall we talk about a boring topic today? I can’t help it: face powder isn’t exactly the most exciting product to talk about. But still a good face powder can make all the difference. It helps to set your makeup, mattifies your skin and prolongs the wear time tremendously. However, if you have dry skin…

Becca First Light Priming Filter
Let’s try out a high end primer for a change shall we? Usually I swear by drugstore primers. They are a product I go through quickly and I do not see much of a difference between my more high end and more affordable primers. For instance, one of my favorites is the Catrice Fresh It…

Essence vs Catrice Primer Battle
If you watched my Catrice & Essence fall/ winter 2019 haul updated, you’ll know that I hadn’t tried these two primers too much yet. So what better way to try them than do it together with you? Live. On Camera! So that is what we’re doing in today’s video: try out both primers on my…

Essence You Better Work Eye Primer
Up to this point, the Essence You Better Work line has been unsuccessful for me. The primer didn’t prime, the tinted moisturizer was too orange and the makeup fixing spray gave me an allergic reaction. So that was a bit of dud and you can understand that I was apprehensive when I ran out of…

Today’s the day! I am finally posting my collective comparison and review of 7 loose powders with a solid cult status in the beauty community. I have been mentioning wanting to do this video for such a long time and I finally got around to it. I spent the past 1.5 years purchasing and trying…

Catrice Tensational Primer
In the new Catrice line for Fall/ Winter 2019 they have included a new primer. Catrice changes up their line often and I sometimes feel like I have just finished reviewing the previous changes by the time a new product line rolls around. This primer was no different and it is not necessarily the case…

Make Up Revolution Green Tea setting spray
Makeup fixing spray was a product I didn’t really use for a long time. I tried the Urban Decay All Nighter and really liked it, but thought it was quite expensive for what it did. A travel size is €15 and so I decided to look for a more affordable option. I tried one by…
-
Essence You Better Work primer
Last Monday I reviewed the You Better Work Fixing Spray and that wasn’t working out too well for me as it gave me an allergic reaction. However that doesn’t mean that the product itself is bad per se as it got the job done just fine in the end. The primer from the same line…

MAC Mineralized Skin Finish Natural
Today we are looking a bit closer at one of my OG, old time favorites. What we are reviewing today is a MAC Mineralized Skin Finish. Not the shiny highlighter kind, but the mineral makeup setting powder kind. This is a product that I have been using for years as a summer time powder. I…

Catrice Hydrating Prime & Care spray
Catrice keeps on releasing new products and one of those newer products is a line of makeup primer sprays. There is a line of Prime and Fine makeup fixing sprays, but primer sprays was something the brand did not yet have. This primer spray is one of two: the other is an energizing spray. Since…

Catrice HD Active Performance primer
Whenever Catrice launches a new primer, I’m all ears, because I generally really like them. They are not only super affordable, but I also think they work really well. I love their hydrating primer for instance as well as their light correcting serum primer. This new primer promises to be water and sweatproof and perfect…

Catrice Light Correcting Serum Primer Morning Glow
One of my favorite affordable primers? The Catrice Light Correcting Serum Primer. Catrice are fairly good at doing primers to begin with. I also love their hydrating primer, so when I saw them doing a new shade in one of my favorite primer formulas, you know I had to try it. This claims to be…

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder Diffused Light
Today’s review is one I am excited for. Why? Because Hourglass makes some of my favorite powders. I even already tried and reviewed one of their Ambient Lighting Powders in the past, but that one I use as a bronzer as it is much too dark. I had never tried one of their powders for…
-
Catrice Under Eye Primer
One of the most weird, but possibly innovative new products by Catrice in their Spring/ Summer 2019 line may very well be this one. This is one of those products that if it works well makes you think: why didn’t anything think of this before? However, it could also be a huge gimmick. Let’s test…
-
Essence Banana powder
Essence is well known for doing good face powders, but I haven’t tried that many by the brand. So far I only used the Correct To Perfect powder pearls and that wasn’t a huge success. However, when they started doing a banana powder that seemed light enough for me, I knew I wanted to try…
-
Catrice Light Illusion loose powder
I am currently really into trying loose powders, but one of my OG favorites is the Catrice Nude Illusion loose powder. I went hard on that one and nearly used it up before I decluttered it. Since then, Catrice has come out with a new version of that powder: the Light Illusion powder in a…

NYX Hydra Touch Primer
Now that I am trying more and more primers, I am slowly but surely figuring out what I like my primers to be. I want them to be hydrating. I want them to make my makeup last and I want them to be preferably affordable. After using up the Catrice Fresh it Up primer, which…

Essence Prime + Studio Glow Boosting primer
A good affordable primer is hard to come by and so whenever I find one that sounds interesting I always want to give them a try. For their new fall/ winter 2018 make up line, Essence released three different ones and I decided to pick up one. Meet the Essence Prime + Studio Glow Boosting…

Catrice Insta To Go Blur stick
In Catrice’s new line up, there are quite a few new, innovative products. The first such product? The Insta To Go Blur Stick. This stick promises to smooth out pores and fine lines and can be applied underneath or on top of makeup. Not a product that my makeup needs necessarily call for, but I…

NYX HD Banana powder
Since I practically used up my Bobbi Brown pressed powder, I was in for trying a new powder. I decided to go with a drugstore option this time. And it is another yellow toned powders. This banana powder by NYX is one I owned for a while, but I hadn’t gotten round to using it…

Smashbox Primerizer
Primer. I am still on the fence on which one I love the most. So I just keep trying different ones till I have a good feel for some of the offerings on the market. A recent primer release that I was looking forward to trying was the Smashbox Primerizer. I heard so many people…

Catrice Eye Foundation eyeshadow primer
I haven’t had much luck trying super affordable eyeshadow primers. I have used some, one even by Catrice, and none of them did the trick for me. The most successful eyeshadow primer I’ve tried at the most affordable price point is the Milani eyeshadow primer. But now there is a new contender. Catrice have released…

Catrice Fresh It Up Aqua Fresh Hydro Primer
When I did my video giving you an overview of what is new from Catrice for fall 2018, quite a few people seemed interested in one of the new primers. For fall 2018, Catrice have come out with several new primers and one of them is a hydrating primer. So far, hydrating primers are my…
