Beauty Soufflé

Hello gorgeous people!  Today I wanted to write about something that not only bothers me, but something I've been a "victim" of for a long long time before starting to do my own research and educate myself. I'm talking about some of the lies that beauty industry constantly tells us. It’s no secret that most cosmetic companies rely on a combination of hope and blatant exploitation of other women’s insecurities to sell their products. Here I just summarized the most frequent ones. 1) YOU CAN AGE REWIND Unless you drink some kind of magical potion, you can't age rewind. Let's face it.  Collagen loss, swollenness, fine lines are just part of the natural aging process to which we are all subjected. We can't stop it by using serums, creams and other miracle products. Of course a good skincare and makeup can help, but will not make you go from 50 to 20. The only real things you can do to slow down the aging process and make it more acceptable a...

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Today I decided to review two products I've been testing for the last month or so and which have been hyped so much on the blogosphere. I'm talking about the CATRICE Hd Liquid Coverage foundation and the Liquid Camouflage high coverage concelear . Everyone was talking about the foundation in particular but when I saw that they had a concelear as well, I decided to try them both. First of all they are drugstore products, therefore they are really affordable. I bought both products in store and paid 8€ for the foundation and 3,50 or 4€ for the concelear. I tried to capture how the products looked on my skin and hopefully you can see how they show in pictures. Everyone on the internet was raving about this foundation, claiming that it had a very natural finish and a good durability. Let's see my thoughts on it.  THE FOUNDATION: 020 ROSE BEIGE Comes in a glass bottle with a pipette (which I find really simple to use and per...

Hello lovelies! Today, as I announced in the previous post, I come with the first look created featuring the MAKEUP REVOLUTION "Fortune favours the brave" palette.   As said in the review I did, this palette offers a lot of possibilities in terms of variety of makeup looks you can create, going from very natural to more dramatic ones. Today I created something very simple, perfect to wear during the day. I often tend to go for a subtle brown smoky eye because it's easy to do, I don't feel like "it's too much" for the day and it complements my eye colour.  I think that makeup doesn't always have to be dramatic and harsh to be beautiful. A subtle look which enhances my features is what I normally tend to prefer on a day to day basis. I hope you like this look, even if simpler than usual. PRODUCTS USED: BASE - Guerlain Essence d'èclat à l'or pur   FOUNDATION - Catrice HD liquid coverage foundation in 020 Rose Bei...

Hello hello beautiful people! Long time no seeing! It's been more than a month since I last posted here on the blog and I missed it so much. Unfortunately..as writers do, bloggers sometimes lack inspiration as well. I didn't feel ispired and creative, everything I was trying to write about seemed trivial and unauthentic and I just didn't want to fill my blog with posts that weren't 100% conceived to be useful for you.  I want this blog to be a place where people can read about topics I am really passionate about, and of which I give my most sincere and trustworthy opinion. Today I'm coming with a review on a product I've been testing out the past few weeks: The MAKEUP REVOLUTION " FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE " eyeshadow palette.  This is the first product I've ever used from this brand. I kept seeing this palette all over Instagram and I was very drawn to its colours and finally decided to buy it. This is a palette that is available ...
