Rimmel Wake me Up Concealer Review

Hello beauties!

Μα πειτε μου! Ποσο υπέροχες μερες ειναι αυτές οι τελευταιες του Οκτωβρίου;

Ανυπομονω για το τριημερο που ειναι στο κατωφλι μας, για βόλτες, ήλιο, καφέδες, φίλους και γιατι οχι, και ενα τελευταίο μπανιο στη θάλασσα!

Που θα πατε; Τι θα κανετε;

Εγω σημερα θα σας πω για ενα προιόν που θα φωτίσει το τριημερο σας!

Rimmel Wake me Up Concealer

Τα προιόντα Rimmel τα ξερουμε όλες. Δυστυχως δεν κυκλοφορούν στην Ελλαδα αλλα πλεον εχουμε μάθει να κανουμε τις αγορές μας online.

Ετσι λοιπόν μαζι με τα Wet & Wild Mega Last Matte Lipisticks από το Beauty Joint παρήγγειλα αυτο το υπέροχο concealer που ειχα ακουσει τόσα πολλά.

Θα ξεκινήσω λέγοντας οτι δεν έχω μαυρους κύκλους και δε χρειάζομαι κάλυψη και γι’αυτό τα περισσότερα concealers στη συλλογή μου φέρνουν πιο πολύ σε highlighter.

Παρόλα αυτά, παντα φοράω κάτι κάτω απο τα μάτια μου για φωτεινότητα.

Έτσι περίμενα να ειναι και αυτο και δεν έπεσα εξω.

Είναι ενυδατικό,  φωτεινό,  με ελαφριά κάλυψη, δε «μπαίνει» στις ρυτίδες και κρατάει αρκετα καλά.

Έχει ωραιο κλασσικό sponge applicator που το κανει εύκολο να απλώσετε κατευθείαν το προιόν κάτω από τα μάτια σας.

Η σύνθεσή του είναι ελαφριά, απλώνεται πολύ καλά και με τα δάχτυλα αλλά και με ενα μικρό stipple brush που χρησιμοποιώ εγω.

Το χρησιμοποιω εδω και 3 εβδομάδες και εχει γίνει αγαπημενο μου, πρωί και βράδυ!

Μόλις το βάζω, νιώθω αμέσως ανανεωμένη, ξύπνια, οπως λεει και το ονομά του και φρέσκια!

Η απόχρωση, αν και δε φαίνεται καλά στη φωτογραφία ειναι η Very Fair/Light και η τιμή του μεσω ιντερνετ ηταν περιπου στα 6 ευρω. 

Πολύ καλή αναλογικά με τη πολύ καλή ποιότητά του.

Πως σας φαίνεται; Το εχετε δοκιμάσει;

Ποιό ειναι το αγαπημένο σας concealer;

as always,

stay healthy & beautiful

Mac & Sephora Eye Brighteners! Lighten Up Your Eyes!

Hello everyone! 

How have you been doing?

Is the season transition makes you feel a bit sleepless and tired? 

And the worse…does it shows in your eyes? 

Well if this is the case, boy I have good news for you! 

Eye Brighteners! 

If anyone of you has not heard of them before, let me give you a heads up.

Eye brighteners are light textured colored cremes that go very smoothly under the eyes. 

Their main goal is not to cover your dark circles but to brighten and light reflect the under eye area, creating a more fresh and clean appearance.

I don’t have any dark circles so this is perfect for me. But it is also useful for the ones that have, by using a light layer of corrector (peachy), concealer (beige) and brightener (light pink) which you will success by applying a small amount of each to have a natural highlighted under eye area.

The ones I have and use are:

 MAC Prep + Prime Highlighter Pen in Bright Forecast & the

 Sephora Smoothing & Brightening Concealer in 03 light.

As you can see from the photos the one is really yellowy and the other is rather light pink.

The yellow tone is more suitable for darker skins and the light pink one is perfect for fair skins.

I use to mix them together and I end up having the perfect highlighting shade for my skin.

It is almost like second skin. 

I bought both of them on sale so I am not sure what their price is but I can tell you approximately that the MAC is about 20-22 euro and the Sephora is about 10-12 euro.
 

Their quality is equally good even though there is a big price gap! 

So, what do you think? Do you use eye brighteners?

If so, which one? I am open to suggestions!

Stay healthy & beautiful!

Razzle Dazzle!

Hello my beauties!

I am guessing you are happy, looking forward for your vacations while having a delicious coctail in the local bar.

I, myself, last week was in a bar in the centre of Athens, drinking strawberry mochito and let me tell you this. For three hours, I was feeling like I was in this exotic place, sipping my drink and listening to easy music.

But anyway, let me get back to my point. I was saying that summer is here, you have already tanned somehow, and your mood is in its highest point. 

And I ask you. 

Is there something that would make you feel even better?

Something that would make you look even happier and more glowing like you are showered by light?

Let me show you some magic tricks I have on my makeup bag!

Taaaa-Daaaaaa!

1. The Body Shop Sandstone #03 quartz hue

This small red treasure box was the first time I would come across to a highlighter. And still I used it as a eyeshadow! It looked really good on my eyes but when later I realised its true purpose I was thrilled! It has a beautiful rose champagne colour that matches any skin. I don't think you can still find the exact package but The Body Shop is full of highlighters!

2. Stila Illuminating Finishing Powder #Gold

This illuminating powder has a gorgeous soft gold colour that is shimmery not glittery. It gives a soft shimmery touch on the top of your cheekbones. This is for you who want something not too obvious.

3. Mac Cream Colour Base #Pearl

Anything I say on this black magic box it won't be enough! It is a creme highlighter that is best put with your fingers and it blends in your skin like heaven! I am sure a lot of you know exactly what I mean!

4. Gosh Bronzing Shimmer Brush # 102

I have shown this one before on the Bronzers post (see it here). 

It is an ultra shimmering bronzing powder tha makes you shine like you never imagined. It is very easy to go wrong with this product as the packaging is not too tidy and tends to let a lot of product get away and onto your face! But overall it is a great one!

5. Clinique Fresh Bloom Allover Colour #03 Almond Blossom

This is the most subtle highlighter I own. It has the smallest amount of shimmer of them all and can be used as a bronzer or a blush. There are two colours as you can see when mixed with the brush, gives a rose bronze shimmery glow. It is very good to carry it in your purse as it has many uses.  

Below I am showing you a face chart to see where is best to contour and highlight our face. I hope it will help those who are new to highlighters and want to try them out! The dark points are contouring your face to create angles and the rose ones are to create light to your face.

 I hope you find your way to a new glowing You!!!!!

Stay healthy & beautiful!
