It’s time for some beauty updates! Now that it’s spring and soon enough summer, I wanted to try out some new beauty products that are more suited to spring/summer. So I have done some shopping lately and I have to say that some of my purchases really did surprise me. After trying them out for the past few weeks I wanted to share my thoughts with you guys.
1. Benefit Cosmetics – Roller Lash
This Roller Lash mascara really caught my curiosity the minute I saw those ‘Mystery Mascara First Impressions’ videos on YouTube, the brand was unknown at that time. From what I saw it basically didn’t get one bad review, which is very impressive. When they finally revealed the brand behind this mascara I wanted to get my hands on this product even more. Now I can finally try it for myself and it luckily didn’t disappoint me. This mascara does a great job on curling and lifting the eyelashes. Besides all that, it also doesn’t smudge on the eyes and that’s definitely a win for me, since most of the mascaras tend to do that on my eyes. And then we have the package itself, which looks super a-dor-a-ble, don’t you think? I just can’t stop looking at it!
2. NYX Powder Blush – Silky Rose
I have heard great things about this brand, but haven’t tried a lot of their products beside the ‘soft matte lip cream’ ones. I regret that I didn’t try their blush before, because it’s freaking amazing! The color pigmentation is crazy; a little bit of this product really goes a long way and when applied it stays for the whole day. I even think that the color of this blush looks like a duplicate from my favorite blush by M.A.C., which is almost empty so I am happy to find a similar one. This blush has a very high quality for such an affordable brand. In my opinion the quality can even be compared to a high-end brand.
3. Laneige – Water Sleeping
Lately my skin is going through some crazy stages due to the alternating weather in The Netherlands. One day I have great skin and the other day I will have dry patches around my nose, so I guess it was time for a moisturizing mask. I have had this mask for a while now and whenever I needed that boost of moisturized skin; it has never disappointed me. I love how convenient this mask is, once you have applied it you don’t have to worry about washing it off just leave it on during your sleep and wash it off the next day in the morning. You’ll see how moisturized and vibrant your skin looks.
4. Jo Malone – Wild Bluebell Cologne
I was looking for a nice fragrance for the spring/summer and then I found this cologne by Jo Malone. This cologne has a very subtle sweet and fresh scent; it makes you want to smell it all day long. What I really love about this cologne is that it won’t give you a headache, like some of those fragrances can cause. You can spray as many times you want and it will remain that same subtle sweet and fresh scent. The only downside to this cologne is that the scent fades easily, so you will have to re-apply it during the day and that’s very unfortunate for quite an expensive fragrance but nonetheless I love the scent!
5. L’oréal – Infaillible Eyeliner
This eyeliner by L’oréal is such a lifesaver for me. I have been using this eyeliner for the past few weeks now and it made my daily makeup routine that much easier and faster. This eyeliner is very easy to apply, because of its creamy texture and it won’t budge. It’s retractable and has a smudger at the end of the pencil so you can create versatile looks with it and it doesn’t stop there, it even has a built-in sharpener. All in all it’s a great eyeliner pencil – I love it!
So these are my favorite products at the moment. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this post and will love these products as much as I do. I love you guys and thanks for reading!
