Skincare - Face -Clarisonic - Acne Brush Head

I had acne (yeah, had, not anymore yay) it was enough plushy and soft. It felt great on the skin, I didnt feel like it scratches or whatever. I had irritated skin when using clarisonic anyway, even with the delicate brush so Its not this brush fault. I like it, I use it once-twice a week and Im perfectly happy with it :)

Mascara -Givenchy - Noir Couture 4-in-1 Mascara
rated 4 of 5
GrRoxxy 8/29/2012 4:04:00 PM

Its one of best mascaras I ever used for lenghtening (thats not something I usually go for)! Dont get discouraged by the weird brush- its easy-peasy to apply! And this mascara does wonderful job separating lashes! Its lengthening, deep black colour and what I like is the feeling on the lashes- its not hard, matte and kind of dry finish. No, this mascara leaves lashes shiny, elastic and nice in touch! I really really like it, also it keeps the curl very good and I love the simple and classy packaging :)

Eye Shadow -Chanel - Illusion d'ombre Eye Shadow - Mirifique
rated 2 of 5
GrRoxxy 8/29/2012 3:59:00 PM

It was beautiful, easy to apply, deep black with silver glitter... It was more than half year ago :) Now its gummy-like, shrunk and clumpy with poor color pay-off... Hard to blend, hard to pick up... It was perfection when new, but honestly I cant imagine ending the jar in less than a year or even more! Big disappointment...

Treatments -Sally Hansen - Instant Cuticle Remover
rated 5 of 5

Its ridiculous how AMAZINGLY WELL this product works! It works so well, fast and its cheap! Also the bottle is huge (I expected it to be half of its actual size) and Im soo pleased with the result! The only small problem might be that you need to use it near the sink with water and soap ready but that doesnt bother me.

Treatments -Mavala - Nail Hardener

UPDATE: It worked, it doesnt do anything now when I tried after some time again and nothing improved... OLD:It works. It definitely does but everyone before using it should check if you dont use nail polishes with formaldehyde and what formaldehyde is!!!!! Its really important because you can damage terribly your nails :)

Powders -Guerlain - Perles D'Azur Meteorites by Emilio Pucci
rated 5 of 5
GrRoxxy 8/10/2012 3:39:00 PM

I love the tin, the packaging... very luxurious! The smell of violets is just gorgeous but fortunately it doesnt last on the face (would be overpowering imo). What it does? It highlights the whole face, gives it more luminous look. In white veyr strong light you might see the glitter if you look closely but it doesnt look like disco-ball. It lasts forever and makes me feel more glamorous :) You will love it or not notice difference, its very subtle and if you read raves you might expect miracles :P Its not worth saving money on it but I dont regret my purchase :) I wont buy again- limited and not sure if its ever gonna end :D

Misc Beauty Tools -Shu Uemura - Eyelash Curler
rated 3 of 5
GrRoxxy 7/29/2012 8:58:00 PM

How much I wanted it!! Its not really catching all of my lashes, I have big eyes, and the curve should be much depper for me and the head larger. It takes me so much longer with this one to achieve great curl. But its possible and even when I dont apply mascara the curl lasts and lasts. In France its sooo overpriced and available only in Lafayette- bummer.

Mascara -Christian Dior - Diorshow Mascara
rated 3 of 5
GrRoxxy 7/29/2012 8:53:00 PM

NEW review- Okay so I hate it, it was too wet leaving clumps. But now after leaving it to dry out it is really good, no clumps and adds volume. I wont be buying again because waiting for it some months to dry seems pointless for this price. OLD review-This mascara could be great. But its not- thanks to clumps! Its impossible to have no clumps except if u waste most of it on your hand before applying...

Polishes -OPI - Designer Series - DS Mystery
rated 2 of 5
GrRoxxy 7/6/2012 10:02:00 PM

The formula is on the thick side, easy to apply but it dries AGES! The first layer is streaky but second one makes it look fine. But I just don't seem to get on with OPIs anyway... The color is like black with gold/browny sparkles and its just so difficult to get off the nails! I have the sparkle all around the cuticles afterwards and the worst is- I can't remove it easily.

Got this for my Bday. I dont usually like and dint use Sephora products but this is the only one I use occasionally. Great as inner corner, cool toned highlighter, good on browbone... Not the most buttery texture but not like a chalk either.

Crème -Chanel - Vitalumiere Hydra (Moist Radiance Emulsion Compact)
rated 5 of 5
GrRoxxy 5/14/2012 6:17:00 PM

I felt the need to have it when I saw it! I love packaging-very elegant, practical, big mirror and sponge which actually work in case of emergency. The consistency is very creamy but what bothers me- it catches every little bit of dust/hair! Thats so annoying!! The colour 22-beige rose blends perfectly with my skintone, the creamy consistency makes it super easy to blend. The coverage is light-medium (buildable) and its really hard to not-blend it properly :) The finish is dewy, moisturized, healthy skin. It tends to show up more pores if it gets shiny on hot days and it does also show the dry patches. For now its my favourite, I use it every single day with beauty blender or fingers and I would recommend it to everyone with normal or combination-closer-to-normal skin without many imperfections :)

Conditioner -John Frieda - Go Blonder Lightening Conditioner
rated 4 of 5
GrRoxxy 5/14/2012 6:12:00 PM

My hair are very long, I spend 6 hours only to do ombre in salon and it cost FORTUNE. So I want to maintain my blonde and I thought this one gonna make it even more bright. The truth is I didnt notice any lightening effect- maybe Im blind? But I want to believe it helps to maintain the colour. What I do notice is that it smells good, applies nicely and leaves my hair smooth and shiny and helps with detangling. Overall I like it but in my opinion- it doesnt make my hair brighter.

Masks -LUSH - Oatifix Fresh Mask
rated 4 of 5
GrRoxxy 5/14/2012 6:09:00 PM

This stuff smells too good!! I lick it always a little bit... too yummy! Im used to these black pots and keeping it in fridge doesnt bother me. It doesnt apply good when its cold, its better to warm it up a little before. And- god- this smell... so sweet! The mask is sticky and doesnt look good on face but it doesnt really matter. What matter is that it really moisturizes and leaves my skin soft with a not greasy but nice film... Im gonna repurchase or just ask for it when I return 5 empty pots. Its nice treat! :)

Moisturizers -Kiehls - Panthenol Protein Moisturizing Face Cream
rated 2 of 5
GrRoxxy 5/14/2012 6:05:00 PM

I really liked it, it did amazing things to my skin. It moisturised my skin when it was in really bad condition and I used it for some months, it seems to be never-ending BUT after some time it started to bother me that it leaves my skin sticky with strong shiny film... It didnt help much with flaking either. Also on really dry irritated areas it hurt me and didnt calm my skin. I found something better for me, so I stopped using it.
