Avon Advance Techniques Moroccan Argan Oil

I have been testing out these products for a few months now and now I'm ready to share my ideas on them with you: I'm talking about the Avon Advance Techniques Moroccan Argan Oil shampoo, conditioner and mask. After hearing lots of bloggers rave about them, I was very interested in trying Argan oil products, so I chose these three. Let's begin with saying I have very long hair (they come almost down to my bellybutton!), they're not straight nor curly - someway in between. They're quite frizzy, too. Using the three products together I have seen improvements in the texture of my hair - it's much softer and shinier. It also felt so much more nourished! When I went to have my hair cut, I asked my hair stylist if she thought my hair was damaged and she said it wasn't, at all.

All three products have a nice consistency, lather up nicely and don't leave any residue. They have a pleasant smell, nothing too intense, but it's nice nonetheless. These products are great and I really like them, but if anything, they're not really helping with the tangliness of my hair.. but my hair is the tangliest hair of the world anyway.

The price of the shampoo, mask and conditioner changes from brochure to brochure. Their full price is about €7 each, but there's always some good offer on them! If you have long, damaged hair I really suggest you try at least one of the three.

Have you ever tried anything from the Avon haircare line?

Today I want... #10

Hello! I'm back with a wishlist post :) Lately I've been lusting over chunky, sparkly jewelry. Just a few months ago I would have never thought I'd fall in love with this J.Crew Classic Pavé link bracelet! I think you have to be careful with what you pair it with, but it can be that something that makes an outfit 10 times more classy.

Urban Decay just launched two palettes for an upcoming Disney movie about the Wizard of Oz. I love the more neutral one, the Glinda Palette! Too bad it's even more expensive than the Naked palette, retailing at $49. But with 7 gorgeous high quality eyeshadows and an eyepencil, I bet it's worth the money.

I was browsing the Topshop website in search of a new bag and I stumbled upon this beautiful cream E-reader case. I don't even have an e-reader, so even if I wanted to get it I couldn't justify the purchase !

I think these Asos shoes look so elegant. With that gold plate they remind me of something YSL would do.

To top this awesome wishlist, a nail polish from Essie - Fiji! It's one of those shades so hyped up by bloggers, a light ballerina pink. I have already tried it in store a few months ago, but I think I'm gonna purchase it as soon as possible! 

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation

After hearing every Youtube guru talk and seeing every blogger write about it, I decided to get the ever so popular Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation. I've been testing out this foundation for a few weeks now and I wanted to share what I think about it with you.

First of all, I paid about €15 for it, which is not the cheapest price for a drugstore foundation. But then again, everything in Italy is overpriced. About the packaging, I really like the fact that it comes in a glass bottle - it feels a bit more expensive!

The very first thing that you notice when applying this foundation are the glitter particles, which I find quite big and noticeable. However, you can't really see them from a distance - that's why I think this foundation is best worn in a sunny day, if you're not planning anything that requires close encounter! It has a creamy consistency and it glides onto the skin with no effort. This foundation provides a light to medium coverage; it will definitely cover up red areas, but for spots you'll need concealer.

I have oily skin and this foundation will give a dewy look by itself, so I like to wear it applying some blotting powder to the oilier areas on my face. However, I've worn this foundation for 6+ hours without problem.

I find the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation the perfect foundation to brighten up a tired face on a Monday morning! Have you tried it? What do you think about it? x

PS: I'm selling a Smashbox Photo Finish Color Correcting Adjust for €15 on Ebay! Is anyone interested? (:

Some mail love #10

Soap & Glory is one of many brands that are almost impossible to get for me, as they don't even have an online shop. However with swapping everything is possible! I managed to get a few samples from a girl who lives in the UK: Glad Hair Day Intensive Conditioner, Clean, Girls body wash, Scrub of Your Life and an additional Dove Colour Radiance Express Treatment conditioner. I can't wait to try them.. they look so pretty!

Three current favourites

It's snowing outside, I'm listening to Florence + The Machine remixes on Youtube and I think it's the perfect time to write a new post! Today I wanted to talk about some products that have stood out for me lately. One of them is the China Glaze No Chip Topcoat, which I got months ago in a Glossybox. At first I didn't like it, but I recently started enjoying very much! It dries quickly and keeps my nail polish looking acceptable for days (:

Another product I've been enjoying lately is Kiko Pro Gel mascara. I'd had the feeling that my eyelashes were shorter for a while, and I wanted to solve that issue. So I remembered that a few years ago I used to use this product from Kiko and that it worked! I purchased it again and I started seeing improvements from the second week. If not noticeably longer, my lashes were noticeably thicker. This gel mascara is transparent and it doesn't clump, so I often use it as a base for regular black mascara. 

The last favourite is the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette. Yes, I know, I'm very late to the party, but I just got this for Christmas! I've been loving it ever since. I have been experimenting with it a lot and.. I don't know what else to say about it except that I love it. ♥
