BIOBAZA MEN FACE & SHAVE

I've had this for about two months and I'm very impressed by it. I actually bought it because Mad About Red was raving about it. Since I've started using it my skin has been much clearer. I still get pimples, blackheads or whiteheads now and then, but it's nothing massive as before. And even when I get them, they dissappear much faster. At the start I was using it once a day and then I started using it only when I had a breakout. Now I'm using it only for shaving, since I'm testing some other products for face. Even for shaving it's doing wonders for me, razor glides smoothly and what's best, I don't get that weird rashes on my legs after shaving with it. I'm pretty much upset, since I can't find it anywhere anymore and all of my backups I gave away (they were all impressed with it).


ESSENCE LIPLINER 11 IN THE NUDE
 I like lipliners from Essence, because they're good and very affordable. I prefer these over the longlasting ones, since I feel they last on my lips longer. The formula is creamy, but not too much so it would break and the pigmentation is great. I noticed that the first few uses it was less creamy, then it is now. I also noticed that at the start it made my lips a little bit dry.


NYX EXTRA CREAMY ROUND LIPSTICK THALIA
 I'm not a fan of lipsticks with creamy finish, so I tought I woudn't like this one. But I was so wrong, it's perfect, my lips but better color. On it's own, it's quite messy, since it gets on my teeth. That's why I like to pair it with Essence lipliner in the nude. It stays on my lips for around 2 hours with drinking, so it isn't quite longlasting, but it is very comftarble to wear.



CATRICE STYLO EYESHADOW PEN 030 COPPER AND PASTE
I have a huge weakness for coppery shades. So yes, I got this because of the color. I'm planning to write a review for this one, so I'll keep it short here. In the tube it actually looks prettier, but that doesn't bother me as much, since it has good pigmented, it's easy blendable and longlasting.



ARTDECO 3 IN 1 MAKEUP FIXING SPRAY
I've had this for a while, but I was waiting with using it, since I wanted to use up Nyx matte setting spray. I didn't use it a lot, but it blew my mind with the first use. I must admit, that this one is way better than Nyx matte setting spray. It makes my makeup look flawless for 11 hours, while Nyx one manages only for 7 hours. This setting spray is a total winner for me and probably the best one you can get in Slovenian drugstores.

And the main reason I've been absent from my blog is that me and my boyfriend got a dog. We got a pitbull and named him Klaas. It's a bit unusual name, but if you're watching Circus Halligalli, you know where the name came from. I really wanted to give all my attention to him, take him to walk and so.

REAL TECHNIQUES MIRACLE COMPLEXION SPONGE
Since I've got it and tried it out for the first time, I've used only this one every day for applying my foundation. So this says enough how impressed I am about this sponge. I've owned only original Ebelin sponge before this one and honestly, I can say this one is far better. The Real Techniques one is a lot softer and bouncier (if that makes any sense) and it doesn't soak up so much foundation as Ebelin sponge. I like this sponge so much, that I didn't use Real Techniques Expert Face Brush since I got the Miracle Complexion sponge.




ESSENCE MAKE ME BROW 02 BROWNY BROWS
 I already wrote a review about this product, so I'll try to keep it short. It's an amazing product for a little money. It fills my brows with it's little fibers perfectly and yet they look pretty natural. It won't move or budge for hours, well until the end of my day atleast and even then I had some problems removing it.



MILANI AMORE MATTTE LIP CREME 14 DEVOTION
At first I've had some problems with the formula of this lipstick. But I adored this shade so much, so I gave it a good try. I exfoliated the hell out of my lips and before applying the lipstick, I applied a thin layer of balm. And voila, it worked. The lipstick stayed on, it didn't crumble anymore. You can find my review here, if you want to know more and see swatches of this beautiful liquid lipstick. Everytime I wanted a red lipstick, I chose this one and I must say that was often.



MANHATTAN X-TREME LAST LIPLINER 34N
This lipliner I used along with the Milani Amore Matte Lip Creme in shade Devotion. The shade is lighter than Devotion.
I have weird looking lips, so I have to lipline with it, since Devotion dries so fast. This lipliner is good, the only thing that bothers me, is that it can break, since it's so creamy.



ESSENCE I LIKE LONG LASHES!
Some time ago, I saw a picture with pretty long lashes on Instagram. I coudn't believe the mascara was from Essence, so I had to try it for myself. The result were long lashes with minimal volume, so I liked it immediately. In the result it resembles to L'oreals Volume Million Lashes Excess mascara, which is my all time favourite so far. I like that it has a small plastic kind of a brush. The only con is that it smudges after an hour on my lower lashes.
