Trash Talk #4

Good morning beauties!!

It's that time of the month where i share with you the products i've been using up!

I find exciting to finish some products it means that i can try out some more!

Last months i've used up some skincare, bath and makeup products!

I'm particularly excited for finishing makeup since it's something that not always occurs.

Let's see what i repurchase or not!!

Face:

Skincare is something important and you shall know that from the first moment you step into the makeup world!

It's usual to finish skincare products every once in a while..

The Biphasic EyeMakeup Remover from Sephora i have for ages, it's the travel size and you're probably questioning why i took so long to use it up..

Maybe because i'm not a huge fan of biphasic removers since they're super oily and get easily into my eyes.. This particular one does the job but i won't repurchase!

Moisturizers are something i use up in 2 months! Which for some of you may seem fast and for others a bit slowy.

The fact is i use the moisturizer i own everyday and i only have one at time, i mean, i don't have 2 or 3 different ones when i purchase i always purchase one..

This Uriage A.I. moisturizer has been my loyal friend since my 14s but when i used this up i opted to buy a different one this time! Repurchase?! - maybe one day! It's a really good product!

Makeup:

Some makeup we finish it and other we can't stand it!

Here's the perfect example! At first my holy grail eyeliner by Essence that i used up for the trillion time! And at the other side this awful lipstick by Basic!

I hate that lipstick so much! The smell, the texture, the feeling on the lips! It's just horrible.. Smells and feels like plastic and it can't fill my lips correctly! No matter how many times i apply it, it will never be opaque! Aggrrr... at least was like 2 or 3€ so not that expensive.. can't complain much but for the same price i have Essence lipsticks that are AMAZING!

Essence Long Lasting Eyeliner - Black Fever - Repurchase!!!

Basic Lipstick - Goes to trash and never come back!

I'm also trowing away makeup that has expired such as mascaras.. None of these are finished, actually they have a good ammount of product but the thing is, they have expired and they 'hurt' my eyes in a way.. There's nothing that will make me keep these if they're harmful right?!

Repurchase any of these?! - I don't tend to repurchase mascaras since there are so many out there that i want to try but if you wanna know my opinion about the quality, yes they're all good.. and Catrice mascaras are definitely a must!

Body:

Shower is also a place where products can't seem to last a lot of time which i find great so i can try another products as well...

Garnier Ultra Suave 5 Plantas

Oriflame Shower Cream - Wonderful

Oriflame Shower Cream - Preppy Chic

Oriflame Body Cream - Wonderful

Conditioner is something that you shall use but i honestly don't seem to use it that much.. I just finished this one and i don't have a lot to say about it.. yes it gives my hair softness but it's not that visible trhough the day after i shower.. Repurchase?! - No

Shower creams are a kind of gel formula but more creamy, i hope it makes sense.

I've used up Wonderful and Preppy Chic one, both from Oriflame and both amazing! The first smell is more warm than the second that seems to be fresher but both were a favorite while using them. I won't repurchase because i want to try other ones!

Wonderful was a collection and i got the body cream too! So moisturizing that i can't even!!! I love Oriflame body products they're amazing in texture, moisture, smell... You have to try them if you have the opportunity.. Just to mention that Oriflame is like Avon, a catologue brand.

So my Trash is going to be full but i will have some extra space to try new products that i'm looking foward!

Thanks for reading,

Let's Bronze Some Walls!

Hello beauties,

Sun shines out there and a bit of bronzer does wonders to a bare face..

Obviously you can use bronzer any season, any time.. it's up to you..

I usually use bronzer to complete my makeup if i'm following every step or if i want to go out but i don't have much time still want my face defined..

(L-t) Soap & Glory ; Sephora ; Catrice

I have 3 bronzers at the moment, and every single one of them is amazing..

Soap & Glory is a British brand that can't be found in Portugal .. So i had to ask my boyfriend to bring this bronzer to me from the UK and so he did.. (lovely isn't he?)

It's my favorite bronzer of them all and it's because it has 2 colours, a darker and a lighter one.. it has shimmer but so sublte that i can't notice on my skin.. Most of the times i mix the colours and i'm fine with it!

Sephora Solar Powder is a great product as well, really pigmented and the shade is stunning.

It's the lightest shade of this range and so it suits my skin really well, it's prefectly buildable if i want a heavier look! With a light hand you can use it on pale skins.. It's not orangie at all and i like the softness of the product.

Catrice Bronzing Powder is a bit too dark although it doesn't seem to.. It's affordable and good quality product still prefer to use it at summer where my skin is taned and it looks more natural...

It's a completly matt product and you don't need too much product to make it appear on your skin,

i love this product!

1 - Soap & Glory Solar Powder - Mix & Match Multi Shade Bronzer - 11£

2 - Sephora Poudre de Soleil in Clair 1 - 15€

3 - Catrice Sun Glow Matt Bronzing Powder - 5€

As you can see they differ in shades and price! The quality is good on the 3 but as i mentioned my favorite is Soap & Glory.
I think they're great options for light skin tones (not pale) and i recommend every single one of this! Is up to you to chose which one you prefer the texture when swatching it on the store ;)

To Clean Masterpieces Takes Time

Good morning beauties! I wish you a wonderful week :)

To start fresh in this long week i'm here to share with you my makeup removers and opinion on which ones i find better for me..

As you may know we're all different so what suits me may not suit you but in general products are meant to suit a general range of people!

As you can see i have some different makeup removers and this because i like to switch them up.. Sometimes i'm in the mood to use wipes other times i prefer biphasics..

And so on..

Starting with biphasics eye makeup removers:

Douglas xsmall Gentle Eye Makeup Remover ~2,99€

Sephora Waterproof eye makeup remover ~4€

Both of these are travel size because i like to try different products before investing on them.. if you have the option travel size or sample products go for them first! It can save you money if you don't like them..

I find both really similar.. Sephora is almost gone and i have it for the longest time so it lasts a good time.. it removes waterproof makeup gently , there's no need to rub your eyes off with this product.. it's a bit greasy but it's normal for biphasics..

Douglas one is similar so nothing more to add actually..

Cleansing Milks are not my favorite to be honest.. it's not because they're bad.. it's just personal preference.

Sephora Soothing Cleansing Milk ~4€

I find this milk really smooth and great but personally i prefer the other's i'm mentioning, i don't feel like it cleanses all the makeup off..

And i find it's not meant for my oily skin..

But if you like to use cleansing milks this one is a good option.

Face washes are a must... if you don't want to spend a lot of money on dozens of products i suggest you a face wash and it does the job of removing everything..

Bioderma Sébium Gel moussant - Purifying cleaning foaming gel ~ 16€ 200ml

This one is my favorite face wash at the moment, from Bioderma Sebium range adapted to oily skin types... It does wonders, and i mean noticible wonders to my skin. Since i use this product i find my skin much healthier and shinny not in the greasy way but the natural way..

It removes the makeup really well and it's in a gel form which i find really good to wash everything out! Makes my face feel mattyfied and clean.. i use it every morning and evening.. it lasts a really good time so it's an investiment that will conpensate over time.

Definitely my most used product at the moment..

Some of us prefer to use the new trend micellar waters...

Bioderma Sébium H2O Purifying cleansing micelle solution ~15€ 250ml

The most known brand is Bioderma and curious as i am i had to pick some of their products to try out... my skin is sensitive but also very oily so i decided to go for the Sebium range rather than the Sensibo one.. It does absolute wonders! I tend to use it after cleaning my face with the face wash mentioned before also from the brand.. Its refreshing and makes my skin feel matt and balanced, as said it's a water based product so very runny.. but does wonders to my greasy skin and removes any left makeup (if there's any)

Makeup Wipes Hot or Not?

The question that seems to have different answers everytime i put it out..

Skino Makeup Wipes Sensitive - 1,99€

Here's my opinion about them.. Makeup wipes are good if they don't irritate your skin, but good to use on the days you're being lazy or running late... i don't advise you to use them on daily basis, i used to remove my makeup with these all the time but since i started using face washes i felt such difference..

Although this are made for sensitive skin using them like nobodys business can harm your skin, use them with moderation and it will be a great product to have ;)

As you can tell there's a lot of different ways to remove makeup and it's up to you to chose the best for your own needs! I hope this post helped you figuring out the many ways you can cleane your masterpieces!

Don't forget to take your makeup off before going to sleep! It's the most important step to make your skin healthier!
