MY GO TO MAKEUP MATCH BOOK

Lately when it comes to makeup, I am all about convenience and natural, but still pretty. I don't take myself a lot of time to get ready and apply my makeup, but I still want to look presentable and good about myself. I have discovered the easiest way to apply makeup especially when I am in a hurry or traveling. It is the Match Book by TINte Cosmetics. They carry a three of them: Smokey Eyes, Natural Beauty and Blushed Beauty. I decided to go with a Blushed Beauty, that includes two eyeshadow colours, blusher, eye liner, two lip glosses and two tiny brushes. It all comes in hard cardboard box with the mirror. It closes with the magnet, so no makeup stains in my handbag, because I carry it with me all the time.


I think that Blushed Beauty one is perfect for fall. It definitely adds a warmth and colour into face while staying subtle and natural. Eye shadows are not matte, but shimmery. They have that slight sheen to it. Lighter colour is a pink vanilla like shade that will make a good base and highlight colour. Darker one is a natural brown that fits perfectly into crease or makes a good all over lid shade. Cream eyeliner is the most beautiful dark purple plum colour.
Rosy blusher gives that healthy complexion on cheeks with only one swipe, because it is quite pigmented.
Lip glosses are more like lip lacquers, they stay on without any problem. You can drink at least two cups of coffee, they don't smear anywhere. With lacquers like that you can experience a slight stickiness, but it is not super sticky or gross. Pink gloss is perfect for daytime, darker can be perfect for that extra push or if you feel that it is just one of these days if you need more colour in your life.



I am little bit unsure about these brushes. Eye shadow brush could be more thicker in my opinion, but it does its job if you don't want to carry extra brushes or sponge applicators with you. I personally think that with these shadows you can't make mistakes even when you apply them with your fingers. Outcome will be perfect! Eyeliner brush does its job extremely well, nothing to complain about. It is not angled brush, but cream liner goes on without unnecessary struggle. Lip brush is like any other lip brush- synthetic and small. Other than that it is noticeable that these are good quality brushes, they don't shed or fall apart. It is not easy to have good brushes with makeup palettes.

With the good size mirror and whole concept of this palette I think that it is incredibly good to have this. Ladies with a busy lifestyle or ladies who don't want to invest a lot of time into makeup application would make the most of this product.

YEAR AMOUNT MAKEUP ON FACE?

Tonight I watched a punch of beauty videos in Youtube and one, the most interesting, caught my eye right away. The video shows how a woman will look when she applies her 365 days/year amount of makeup in one day.

It looks pretty gross at the end. Good thing that they didn't apply mascara, that would have been devastating to her eyes.

SHIELO REFLECTING HAIR

I used few samples of Shielo's haircare range back in summer. The most amazing one of them deserves a separate blog post and I allow it to shine in its awesomeness from now on.
It seems like the whole haircare range is very distinctive by its texture, scent and ingredients list. Everything is paraben free, sulphate free, smells divine and textures are creamiest ever!

Now on to the Shielo Color Protect Reflection Conditioner, because that is the reason I'm writing this. The texture of it more creamy than liquid. It can look more like a hair mask than conditioner, but at the same time it isn't super thick like some hair masks tend to be.
If you open the bottle, you can smell how divine the scent is, reminded me a lot of coconut! The colour of the product is light creamy orange with smooth shiny sheen running through it.


As the name of the product may reveal, it is perfect for colour treated hair. It seals in the hair cuticle and that allows the colour last longer plus adds extra shine to it. I usually hold it in my hair few minutes just after shampooing. After last rinse the effect of the conditioner can be noticed immediately. It leaves hair smooth like silk, but at the same time doesn't make them heavy like some smoothing conditioners can do. It feels like conditioner is taking care of every hair in particular and doesn't miss any of them, because after taken care of the damage it leaves hair a little bit textured. Therefore, when I use this conditioner I usually doesn't need any leave-in products afterwards, because they aren't slippery, unruly and hold place just perfectly.

The only downside, that isn't downside to me, I can see is the scent of the product. I know people who doesn't want their hair product to be scented at all, even if the smell good. If you are one of them, think twice before getting this conditioner.
I also believe that you don't need to have colour-treated hair to use this, it would work great on dry or damaged hair as well. If your hair is more greasy than normal, then you wouldn't love it as much as I do. It is more moisturising than you would want your conditioner to be.

After all it will be definitely worth the investment. It is multipurpose product that can cover a lot of hair needs plus every girl with coloured hair knows how hard is to maintain that just-after-colouring shine! It really can do it!

FACIAL DEEP CLEANSING

I have found and happily used a facial mask that really gets everything bad, including impurities, pimples etc out of the skin. As a huge admirer of Liz Earle I almost knew I would love her Deep Cleansing Mask that is especially created for oily, combination and problem-prone skin.


This mask is highly concentrated with clay (green and white), manuka honey, propolis, geranium essential oil and aloe vera. It sure does feel highly packed with these ingredients, because tingly effect occurs when applied. That is the reason why people with sensitive skin shouldn't put this on their face!

I personally love that warm and tingly feeling, it sure does burst my circulation and brings healthy flushing complexion on my face. I leave mask on for about 10 minutest and then use warm soaked sponge, that my mask came with, to get absolutely everything off.

The most important thing is that it cleanses my skin, doesn't leave anything unwanted there, but at the same time doesn't dry skin out. The scent of the mask is quite distinctive, reminds me a lot of propolis and honey.

I have already gone through one 75ml tube of this mask and it lasted about 6 months. I use it once a week.

If you are not sure about your skin reaction to this mask, I recommend first purchasing the 15ml tube, that is cheaper. Check them out here!

MAMA MIO BOOB TUBE

Mama Mio carries a variety of face and body care products to deal with imperfections. I observed their website a little and I got an impression that they have basically everything, you name it, they have it! They even have award winning pregnancy skin care, so it sounds impressive to me.

I decided I will put one of their products on a test to see if there really are miracles in a tube.
Mama Mio's Boob Tube is a bust and neck firmer for dive-in cleavage and for smooth, firm neck. At least this is what it promises to give. I put this cream on to a test and used up the whole tube this miracle product. To get the most of it, I applied it daily on my neck and cleavage.

The cream itself comes in colourful 100 ml tube with a pump, so everything stays sanitary.
White cream is quite thick, creamy, but very easy to blend and doesn't leave any residue. I noticed immediately that the cream is very highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way. I used about one pump of the product for my whole neck and bust area.

The scent reminds me herbs, but in a good way. I know people who don't like that "natural" smell of herbs, but you will like this. It smells clean and nothing like overwhelming.

Within a week, I should have noticed that my neck, chest and boobs look firmer, fitter, glowing, more dewy and youthful.
Now, about that! I think I noticed the dewy and glowing finish already after first use, but there was not unbelievable firming or fitting action going on, even after using the whole tube. Besides that I was so pleased with the moisturised, smooth, healthy skin look I got every time I put it on my skin. I really recommend it applying just before going out if you need to expose a little bit of skin and want to look your best- it will make a huge difference!

I also caught myself on a thought that it might be more helpful with the firming action when you are into working out and training your upper body to get firmer cleavage. By the fact that it is concentrated, moisturising and especially designed for neck and bust it will help a lot with that. It also should help most definitely out all the mommies and future mommies to maintain their bust.

But as I said before it won't be a miracle product if you want some extreme results like that saw when you watched the Extreme Makeover show with surgical intervention. Keep that in mind!
