Stila All Over Shimmer Powder - Kitten First Impression/Review

bonjour my loves!

today i thought i would post a quick review on something i received today, the stila highlighter in kitten.

this is sooo gorgeous!! i just place either one of the colors in the tops of my cheeks with my Real Techniques base shadow brush, since i don't have a highlighter brush. i actually really want the Morphe fan brush but i have never tried their brushes so i'll do some research before i make a purchase. 

i would definitely recommend this for someone who wants a nice, not too intense, highlighter!

I'm not really sure how to describe a highlighter but i think the pictures show the color of them beautifully :)

thanks for reading this mini review :)

JERGENS Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer Review | Before and After Pictures

Bonjour my loves,

Happy 1st of October! Where on earth did September go?!

Today I am bringing you a review on the JERGENS Natural Glow Daily moisturizer!

The before and after pictures were taken in different locations and I'm sorry about that but I just took the AFTER picture, literally 5 minutes ago :)

As winter is approaching, I thought it would be appropriate to talk about a product that can keep your summer tan fresh all year!

Now this product is not a fake tanner, it is a moisturizer that gradually "creates color", which after using it for about 2 weeks, I can definitely agree with. I started using this everyday, and started seeing a difference in 2-3 days, I then started using it once every 2 days because I was satisfied with my tan.

It is so even and easy to use! The tan appeared naturally and the color is flawless. Also, I ALWAYS forget to moisturize so this is a good habit to have. The product itself is not "fake-tan/skin"color, it is colorless.

 Just to put this out there, this is my opinion and I definitely recommend you reading more reviews before purchasing this product, just to make sure it's the perfect match for you! I did read some reviews before buying this, and many people complained about the smell. Since then the company have improved it and to be honest i actually love the smell of it!

Another reason why I started using it less regularly is because I noticed around my ankles was a little but uneven.. But not using it everyday quickly solved that! :) The directions do say to use sparingly on knees, elbows, and ankles, so if you do purchase this make sure you do that!

Also, the directions tell you to wash hands after application, which is something I didn't do the first couple of times, and i noticed that my nails were picking up a fake tan color, so I've obviously stopped doing that now, and they are back to normal.

Below I have a picture of the BEFORE & AFTER, + the front and back of the product so that you can read the directions/ingredients for yourself :)

And that's the review! I hope this helped you in some way, if it did, please share this or send it to 1 of your friends! :) let me know what your favorite moisturizer is!!

Thank you so much for reading, see you next week!

Best Netflix Shows 2015

Bonjour my loves,

I am aware that i have been gone for a VERY long time.. (over 6 months)

But I am back! Let's put the past behind us and get on with the blog post!! :)

Today I am going to be sharing my top 5 shows on Netflix. I enjoy a variety of shows and hope that you will share you favs in the comments!

1. Grey's Anatomy

This is my current favorite show, I am on season 2 and I think I may be obsessed! The actors are AMAZING and it's so realistic, I would recommend it to just about anyone.

2. Friends

Friends is an old favorite of mine, and will ALWAYS be a favorite. It's that show that you put on and just fall asleep to because you have seen all of the episodes at least 3 times. 

3. Vampire Diaries

Now I know this show isn't for everyone, but... Ian Somerhalder!! I'm not going to go into too much detail about this but if you enjoy something quite dramatic, this is the show for you.

4. The Fosters

This is quite a light show to watch, if that makes sense. It's not too dramatic, it's easy to watch. I am really enjoying it, but I'm very upset that Jake T. Ausin is leaving!!

5. Pretty Little Liars

This is again an old favorite that i have started watching again. This is very dramatic and suspenseful which is why I love it so much!! I did skip season 6 and went straight ahead to find out who A is, and all i can say is that I was shocked...

And that's my Top 5 Netflix Shows! If you enjoyed this type of post please let me know in the comments, I absolutely love reading the ones I get! If you'd like me to check out your blog, again leave it in the comments and I will definitely have a look!

Thank you so much for reading, see you next week!

Naked 1 by Urban Decay | Swatches & Review

Happy New Year!

I hope you are all as exited as I am for 2015, sometimes we all just need a fresh start.

Forgive me for my very long and unexcused absence, I'm hoping to have a successful blogging year!

What better way to start the year than a new Swatches & Review post?

I am reviewing the first Naked Palette by Urban Decay. I am referring to it as Naked1 rather then just Naked to save any confusion.

I have already reviewed Naked 3, which is my most popular post! Give it a read if you'd like: (it will open in a new window) : Naked 3 by Urban Decay | Swatches & Reviews

Before I begin, I'm going to let you know that I don't plan on purchasing Naked2 as the colors are very similar to Naked1. If you have tried it, I would still love to hear your thoughts, let's see if you can change my mind haha :)

The palette has a total of 12 shades.

Here are 3 pictures of the shades in the palette:

The shades from left to right are: Virgin*; Sin; Naked*; Sidecar; Buck; Half Baked*; Smog; DarkHorse; Toasted*; Hustle; Creep; GunMetal*.

The ones with * next to them are my favorites.

I prefer Naked1 to Naked3 because you can achieve so many different looks, from a neutral day-to-day look, to a night time smokey eye. I have mainly used it for simple everyday makeup. My all-time favorite shade is Half-Baked. I have blue eyes, and gold colors tend to be very flattering and make your eyes pop. I love applying it to the center of my eyelid, with buck in the crease, and a darker, shimmery, color on the outer-v (such as Smog, DarkHorse or Hustle).

Here are the shades swatched on my arm:

This isn't very clear, but it's just to get an idea of how the shades would apply.

I do wish that there was a couple more matte shades, but apart from that I don't have anything negative to say.

I love the brush that comes with the palette, I mostly use the blender side which is amazing. The palette also comes with 4 samples of their different primers. Each sample does last for about a week's amount of makeup which is pretty good!

Naked1 costs $54 at Sephora. If you are interested in purchasing it, you can get a closer look at it on the Sephora website, which will probably have a lot more information than my blog post.

That's all from me today, thank you so much for reading! If you enjoyed this post please share it, the share bar is below this post, it'll really help me out! :)

Enjoy the rest of your day,

xx
