REVIEW - L'Oréal Brow Artist Plumper

They say eyebrows frame your face. That's why it's important to define your brows and make them look full. Does the L'Oréal Brow Artist Plumper do the job?




This brow gel comes in three different shades; a transparant, a light/medium and a medium/dark, which is the one I have. The gel is infused with fibres to enhance the brows and make them look fuller. Once I have applied it, I can definitely tell the difference. It fills in small gaps you might have and gives your brows a subtle tint.




The wand is very small, which makes it easier to apply, giving you a more precise application. Even though the formula is not very sticky, I do have to be careful while applying, because sometimes it can leave small smudges above my brow if I apply it too quickly. It is one of those brow gels that really keeps the hairs in place, but that also means it dries a little bit hard. I do not find this annoying, but it might be something to keep in mind if you're thinking about getting it.


The L'Oréal Brow Artist Plumper retails for $8,99.

REVIEW - Mac Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft & Gentle

This product NEEDS a blog post. It's so stunning it would be a shame to be left unnoticed on my blog. Mac has several Mineralize Skinfinishes. There are powders, bronzers. blushes and highlighters. The Soft & Gentle is one of the highlighters.


It's a baked highlighter with a beautiful packaging. They did change the packaging, though. I have the new packaging, which I think is a shame because I do prefer the old one. Don't get me wrong, I think it looks very pretty and sleek, but compared to the old packaging this one just does not compare in my opinion.

The texture is very soft and it's really easy to apply, almost like it melts into your skin. The color of this is quite hard to describe. It's a champagne colored shimmery highlighter with very fine milded golden glitter running through it. Even though the glitter is not too chunky, I would have prefered it with no glitter at all and just the beautiful glow it gives. Nonetheless, this highlighter leaves a gorgeous sheen on the cheekbones.

It's pretty intense, so a little definitely goes a long way. Even though it's quite expensive at €29,50/$34, it's such a gorgeous highlighter and I really think it's a must have for all the make up lovers out there.

REVIEW Ziaja - Goat's Milk Night Cream

Ever thought of putting goat's milk on your face? No? Me neither... At least, until I saw this Ziaja Goat's Milk Night Cream.






As the name suggests, the cream contains goat's milk, which is supposed to be extremely moisturizing and firming on the skin. Sounds pretty good, right? Also, it contains vitamins A and E and provitamin B5.
The cream is very thick and concentrated. Because it is such a thick cream, I find it a little difficult to apply, so it does take a bit longer. But after all the work, it diminishes fine lines and leaves your skin looking like it's glowing. And when you wake up the next morning, your skin will feel really soft.
It's only €6.99 so I'd say it's definitely worth a try!
