The Body Shop HoneyMania & Color Crush Lipstick Review

Hello beauties!

How are you?

I am not even going to comment the sudden cold weather.....I am not ready for this....

A while ago I was invited to a beauty bloggers event by The Body Shop where they presented us the new brand range named HoneyMania!

As you can imagine is a whole range of products whose main ingredient is the precious and multi beneficial honey.

Soap, Lip Balm, Eau de Toilette, Shower Gel, Bath Scrub, Body Butter

Rich Bodycare Range. Made by fair trade honey made from the nectar of thousands wildflowers.

They have a sweet smell because of the honey but at the same time they feel very earthly and floral.
You have to smell it youself to understand what I mean!
It is almost a familiar fall scent..

I was always intrigued by all the smells and ranges that The Body Shop came up from time to time. 
And this time was no exception. They have a nostalgic feel to me.

The other thing we were introduced were som new shades of the Color Crush Lipsticks.

A rich moisturising lipstick that has a good payout on the lips with high pigmentation.
It is ideal for everyday morning use and for having in your handbag for a quick pop of colour!

As you can see the presentation was adorable and girlie! 

I met with some dear fellow beauty bloggers, drank fabulous pink evening coctails and ate candy!

Leaving this event we were given as a gift to try on of their each launches.

HoneyMania Body Butter *

Rich, moisturising, beloved, familiar. (I have already used it as you can tell..... :-)

We all have used one of these body butters at least once.
They are a classic.

And also,

Color Crush Lipstick* in 230 Rush of Pink

Moisturising, high pigmented, easy to apply and blend, stays on your lips for about 2-3 hours. 

Well, that' s all about the new things from The Body Shop!

How do you like them? Have you tried them before? 

Which is your favourite Body Butter? 

As always,

stay healthy & beautiful

The Body Shop All in One bb Cream

Hello my beauties!

A while back one of my favourite beauty brands The Body Shop organised an event for beauty bloggers, as myself, to introduce to some new products they came out.
One of them was.....

All In One bb Cream

As many of you might have already noticed, the past year everyone is raving about those and each brand after another is creating its one.
I have used some during the past months but today I am going to talk to you about this one.

When you first squeese it in your fingers, this white cream with tiny brown dots inside, comes out and you stare it with question!
But not to worry! Once you put it on your face and start working it with your fingers, the white cream becomes "fleshy" and takes the shade of your skin.
It is not thick and applies evenly.
The coverage that this cream will give you is very light to light. The ones of you that don't need that coverage or the ones that don't want your bb cream to feel heavy is ideal.
I want a tinsy bit more coverage than this as my face is not flawless. :-(
Also it may not be very suitable for oily skin beacause as I tested to myself, it tends to show off some shine after only one-two hours.
But anyway after years of trying various foundations, moisturisers and now bb cream, at some point you just need to make peace with yourself and realise that no matter what to do, your oily skin will never transform into a normal one. Of course you will have your good days, for which this bb cream is perfect!
A rather annoying thing about this bb cream is its smell. It smells really weird to me. But of course that is my nose, my opinion!!
Oh and don't forget to tell you that unlike most bb creams, this one does not has SPF protection.
Overall it is a good bb cream for everyday use for those who want ligh coverage and light feeling on their skin.

So tell me! Have you tried this bb cream?
What do you think?

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!
