Soap & Glory Clean, Girls

A few weeks ago, I received a mini sized Soap & Glory Clean, Girls body wash in a swap. When I went to England in February I noticed that they sell loads of different travel sized products, ranging from the obvious toothpaste to dry shampoos, conditioners and so on. I think it's a great way to try new products for a fraction of the price -most of them were only £1,99!- and I really wish they were sold in Italy too.

Anyway, let's talk about Clean, Girls. The first thing that I noticed in this body wash is the colour - it's a pearlescent pale pink. It has a rather thick and creamy consistency and it lathers up nicely. It claims to be moisturizing and it definitely is, but not at a point that I would want to skip my moisturizer after getting out of the shower. In my opinion the best thing about it is the smell - it's a rich, feminine perfume and it contains bergamot, black currant, magnolia, freesia, vanilla, and musk.. according to Google :P

If I could, I would repurchase it because it feels luxurious, it's just so nice!

Collection Lasting Perfection concealer

After hearing thousands (literally.) of bloggers and youtubers raving about the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer, I was the happiest girl in the world when I finally got the chance to purchase it in real life (as opposed to online; I don't trust getting face products online, really). I'm a girl who definitely needs concealer in her life. Even though it's getting better now, acne scarring is still a problem for me. The Collection Lasting Perfection concealer is supposed to be a medium to high coverage concealer, and obviously long lasting too, as the name suggests. I've been trying this product for about two weeks, both on red spots and in the undereye area. This concealer definitely deserves the hype it's been getting for the last few years! It' very high coverage (much like my trusty MAC Studio Fix) and it lasts a really long time, if not all day on less oily skin types than mine. Another thing I love about it is that it matches my skin tone perfectly, unlike my MAC Studio Fix, which is a bit too orange for me. I found that the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer is perfect both to brighten up the undereye circles and to cover up any red spot or imperfection. 

The best thing about this product is that it's high quality, but it's cheap as chips - I paid only $4.19 for it! I shall be very sad when I'll run out of it!

My thoughts about.. Alexander McQueen F/W14

Yesterday I was catching up with Paris fashion week shows and I was simply amazed by the Alexander McQueen collection for Fall 2014. You know that I don't usually write posts about fashion shows here, but I think this show deserved one. Why call it "ready to wear"? Those are definitely not dresses one would want to wear to the office, not even if you worked for Vogue. That is pure couture. Ten gorgeous pieces of art, each one rich in details and carefully handmade. I could see that even from the 450px wide photos from Style.com. I sometimes get really annoyed by endless shows like the Chanel one - sometimes more than 80 models will walk the runway. Now, I absolutely don't want to criticize Karl Lagerfeld who is a genius of our era, but I do love a small collection with a few pieces. I love thinking how many hours of them each one took to make, because that's what makes them true works of art, and true fashion. 

Today I want.. #12

Essie Fiji, Neo Whimsical, Lilacism

I've been all about pink-lilac nail polishes for the past days. I just bought Essie Splash of Grenadine a few days ago, but my thirst for delicate hues has still not been quenched! (sounds a bit creepy.) Maybe it's just that Spring is coming. Since I can't afford spending €35 in nail polishes -at least not all at once!- which one do you advice getting first: the uber famous white pink Fiji, the gorgeous pastel pink Neo Whimsical or the white-lilac beauty that is Lilacism?
