H&M Beauty Bronzer

Hello everyone,

Today I´ll be talking about a bronzing powder from H&M Beauty.

I was so excited when I entered H&M (2 weeks ago), and I found the makeup in store. I went to the H&M in Landmark here in Qatar.

The display is so pretty and sleek, they have a wide variety of products. 

I didn't know what to buy (because I know I don´t need anything..haha), at the end I decided for this solar flair bronzing powder.

I absolutely love the packaging , it´s really simple and sleek . It looks like an expensive packaging, but I gotta say that when you actually hold the product, it feels like cheap packaging. Either way, I think they did a great job at packaging and the display of products.And Also the store put the magnet sticker (so people don´t steal the makeup), right on top of my powder.I´ve tried everything and it still looks ugly and sticky :(, I guess that was just a mistake but it sucks.

I decided this bronzer because it was all matte and a light shade of brown. I though it would be great for an everyday bronze look. But OH NO.., when I first applied it I was shocked at the color. I was completely orange, it looked like I just got a really bad fake tan.It was an immediate regret.

I´ve also seen a lot of youtubers raving about H&M Beauty so, I definitely want to try some other products from the range.I know that it was probably my fault to choose this shade.

Un beso,

Daniela.

RIMMEL Provocalips 16 HR kiss proof lip color

Hello Margaritas!!
Today post is another bad review on a product that it is just NOT worth spending money on it.
This is the long lasting lipgloss from Rimmel , yes the name is very catch-y and the packaging is so pretty but it just sucks! , maybe some people have a different opinion about this , and this would be great cause it means it is just not working on my lips , cause seriously it just didn't !
This product claims to leave the lips feeling smooth and moisturized all day long , together with of course 16 HR of perfect looking lips ….. and let me tell you that Im so not being over dramatic , this   lip (whatever it is)… didn't even last 1 hour in my lips without starting to look like I had some sort of skin problem …This dries horribly on the lips , it starts feeling like clay , and falls in like little pieces so ur lips start looking all patch-y and disgusting.
And of course it totally dries your lips, and you will have to exfoliate them for sure after wearing this lip stick, so in conclusion this is a HORRIBLE product all together (so happy I only bought 1 color , this time)

Totally hope this just happens to me and someone out there is actually happy with this product.

Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Fatigue Blur - Warm Apricot

Hello Beauties!!

Well lately everybody is raving about primers right? and well it is actually a very important step to having flawless makeup , however this can also be a big NO-NO , when you are not wearing the good primer.
So this post is about a bad one of course. Ive tried quite a lot of primers , for face , for lids (but that is a different story) and also from expensive to cheap ones also, and the worst one by far was this one from Maybelline , I mostly think that the problem of this primer is that it is water-based(so for someone that doesn't like silicone based ones maybe it might not seem as bad) but I also have some water - based primers that I love so…. also it claims to refresh, and smoothies skin to appear flawless, hydrating …..mmmmm…well maybe, but not anything extraordinary that any other face cream can't so still NOT IMPRESSED , and as per making my skin smooth and flawless… well that is just completely a lie, my skin was exactly the same after applying this primer  (not to mention the fact , that it also made my face feel kind of itchy).

And just to make it extra disappointing my foundation didn't lasted nearly as long as it usually does with no primer at all.

So I strongly recommend the other Maybelline primers , cause they do have some good ones, like the Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser.

NYX Baked Eyeshadows

Hello Margaritas!!!
Happy middle of the week … kinda … today´s not worth it products are the NYX baked eyeshadows, and it is easy .. they are just completely useless, I tried 3 colors and they are just not pigmented at all , its like they are made out of like a plastic-y material and as much as you rub your brush in them nothing comes out .

NYX is one of the best affordable ¨drugstore¨ brands ( I mean , everywhere else in the world it is consider drugstore makeup , here in Doha we can find it only on CityLifestyle) the quality of most products of this brand is really good in every aspect , they really do amazing stuff , and you know the hype on baked products , they are usually pretty good , but here with this eyeshadows I think they either baked it too much … or not enough … cause baby .. believe me when I tell you THEY SUCK!
 
Good thing is that we have tons of cheap and amazing eyeshadow options in this magical makeup world , Including most of NYX palettes, so hope this post helps you to avoid wasting valuable makeup money in useless products.

Rouge Infusion Lip Stain by SEPHORA

Hello Beautiful Margaritas!!

Today´s post is unfortunately to share my opinion about a product I regret buying, and I bought 3 different shades … so yes this should teach me not to buy more than one lipstick if I haven't tried it yet right ?….But well , I read some reviews and they where not bad , and also the product itself had good packaging, I swatched it in the store and it seemed good, also lets not forget that it is a Sephoras´s product so I trusted that…. but let this be a lesson, all brands sometimes make products that are just not worth it. (and Im sure Im not the only one that thinks this product sucks , cause in the website they already have them at 50% off)
So the reasons I didn't like this products are, first of all that it claims to be a lip stain …. and OMG it is so not , it is more of a lip tint . Also it claims to bathe your lips with intense color …again so not!! and that is my main issue with this lipstick , you have to at least apply 3 layers … and wait for it to dry between each application in order to have an even dose of color in your lips ( which is really annoying , because ok  you can maybe do it  once , but also the color will fade easily so imagine having to do that every time you have to re-apply … just no!) and even after doing all this the color is still streak-y…..(Ain´t no body got time for that)

Anyways , let us know your opinions on this lipsticks...

The Body Shop Camomile Silk Cleansing Oil

Hello Margaritas! 
Well .. like everything , makeup and beauty also has deception … and deception comes with products, products that you get , you try … and you just don't get anything good out of them.

So this time the product that DISAPPOINTED me is…..The Body Shop´s Camomile cleansing oil, an don't get me wrong I absolutely love The Body Shop !!! But like everything in this world , some things are just not meant to be, no matter how much you wanted it to work for you (cause it a huge bottle) or how many times you use it hoping this time it might magically be different.

Im a big fan of cleansing oils , Its the easiest way to get rid of heavy waterproof makeup in seconds without being harsh and drying your skin, Ive tried quite a lot of them , and I know that a lot of people love the Camomile one from The Body Shop as it is very gentle and works with all skin types (also is very affordable). But in my case it just didn't remove my makeup the way others do , and it kept getting inside my eyes (It doesn't hurt or cause any pain if it gets inside your eyes) cause the formula is very thick , and It just doesn't work as it should , cause I had to use something else after this to remove the rest of my eye makeup before I fully cleanse my face.
 
So not to ramble a lot about this , the smell is good (Camomile flowers of course) and I guess if you don't wear a lot of makeup it might do wonders for you.

Let me know if you have used this product , and how do you feel about it?
 
Always wishing you a lifetime of amazing makeup (with no disappointments).
