Spin for Perfect Skin | VP | Review

Hello everybody ♥

It's been a while, my messy life brought me away from the webbernet for a bit but now I am ready to start dedicationg more time to the things I love, again. 

I hope you're doing well and I hope you are excited as me for this season cause the most beautiful time of the year is so close!!

But why am I here today? To talk about my new best friend which is the Spin For Perfect Skin by Vanity Planet which was kindly sent to me for try and review and that has been my bff ever since it came in my mail box!

First of all let's see what it is. Spin for pefect skin is a cleansing and exfoliating brush battery powered system that cleanses and exfoliates to reveal radiant skin, removes bacteria to promote visibly clearer skin and reduces pore size so skin appears smoother and brighter. 

With the kit you have the brush and four attachment heads that are great for face and body.

This big one is the body brush, I love the fact that there's an actual brush specifically made for body so you can extend the benefit of a deep cleaning to your entire body. I use it combined with a light sugar scrub and it's perfect size for arms and legs. Don't need to say that my skin feels amazingly soft after that! The brush is made for dry and shower usage so you can easily use it under the shower or having a bath :)

Then we have the exfoliating face brush made of hygianic and quick-drying bristles that is great for gently exfoliate your skin once you have wipes you make up off and cleaned your face with the clensing brush (next picture) made of ultra-soft bristles that is great for sensitive skin; I use it to cleanse and also to apply moisturizer and it feels really great. These two combined make my skin breathe again and you can really tell the difference both in the appearance of the skin and in the make up application cause it gives you a smooth and radiant skin.

Last but not least I was surprised to see that there was a pumice stone head! This is great to remove calluses and dead skin from you elbows, knees and feet. Of course is not made for facial skin but I was glad to see that there was a pomice stone too in the set cause it really meand that, with this brush, you can clean you entire body.

With the brush at the moment I am using the Robert's Acqua alle Rose cleanser but you can use you favourite products to use with.

I honestly didn't expect it to be this good but I am 100% happy with it and I will use it everyday as my skin has changed in better! 

If you would like to try it too and make yourself or one of your friends a gift, I have a 

discount code for you; when you type 

SPINQUEEN

at the checkout you will have a 70% off your brush and it will only cost you $30 instead of $100!

Such a great deal!

I hope you liked and enjoyed my review, let me know in the comments if you use this kind of brush and if you like it. Also let me know what cleansers and moisturizers you are using cause I am always looking for new ones to try!

Hope you have a cozy evening and see you on my next post!

My Fav Autumn/Fall Lipsticks [Lip Swatches]

Hello lovelies! ❤

As you can see from the title, I decided to share with you what are my favourite lipsticks for fall/autumn as I am so in love with this season I need to share everything about it! hehe

As you can tell, I couldn't choose just two or three haha but that's fine cause at least you can see a variety of colors and shades and decide which one is you favourite or what would be your choice o wear. 

So from top to down (on the arm swatches) we have:

• Rimmel Kate Moss 111 
• Rimmel Kate Moss 107
• NYX medusa
• NABLA domina
• TOPSHOP lip bullet in More Than A Woman
• KIKO smart lipstick in 914
• MAC mehr
• Essence 06 Barely There

First one I have here is the Essence in 06 - Barely There! 

It's a perfect everyday mauve shade, perfect Pantone - marsala colour. It is very moisturizing and feels like you're putting on lip balm: as it's like that, it doesn't last very long but, again, it's fine cause reapplying it is so easy.

Second one on the "nudes/everyday shades" side, is on of my favourite mac lipsticks which is mehr! 

I don't have a lot to say, it's is matte but doesn't dry my lips, it is the perfect my lips but better colour, lasts ages even when eating/drinking and it is just perfect for an everyday simple look and also for darks and intense smoky eyes looks. 

Let's jump straight into the darks and intense colours which are my favourite!

This one here is NYX medusa, it is really purple, it is shiny so that means it is moisturizing but doesn't set on the lips all day, it is a bit metallic but I think it's a great colour for this season if you want your lips to really stand out.

Here we have KIKO 914 smart lipstick; moisturizing but long lasting (it won't resist a whole dinner but it lasts a really long time on me), the colour is full and it is the perfect dupe for MAC rebel. 

More on the cherry side but, again, great great easy to wear colour!

This one I get asked A LOT about and it's personally one of my top favourites!

It's the TOPSHOP lip bullet in More Than A Woman. I have been loving it ever since I first swatched it! Topshop beauty range is really good and I especially love the lipsticks, lasts a long time, it's is matte but doesn't dry on the lips and doesn't go into fine lines, the colour is even and full and it is basicallt autumn in a lipstick.

Really similar to the topshop one is the NABLA domina lipstick. Same things as the topshop one, it is really perfect: I love the colour, I love the formula, it is also vegan and cruelty free and lasts really long time even eating/drinking. Really moisturizing and it is buildable and gets darker and darker looking always even. The finish is semi-matt!

Last, but not least, we have the reds!

How I could not mention this one here? The Rimmel Kate Moss in 107 has been one of my fav lipsticks to wear since years. It is matte, lasts really long, the colour is amazing, it goes with every skin tone I believe, looks great with a lot of eye makeup looks, it is cheap and it's the perfect dark red/burgundy shade. Simply a MUST HAVE!

And for the Rimmel Kate Moss obsession we have the 111 which is a beautiful cool toned true red, matte, long lasting, the classic Taylor Swift red. You can't really feel it on the lips and the smell of the matte collection is so lovely too, it's like fruity. If you fancy a red lipstick and don't know which one to choose, just buy this one cause it is really good and cheap and it won't let you down for sure!

So I hope you enjoyed this post and let me know in the comments if you have one of these, what is your favourite and, please please, if you have your own fav shade write it down below so I  can check it out as I am constantly in search for new lipsticks and shades! 

Let's be bffs and swap tips about lipsticks and autumnal shades! :)

Hope you're having a lovely day and I will see you on my next post!

lots of love

Autumn Makeup & Favs

Hello my lovelies ♡

It is nearly autumn and I can smell it in the air so I'm pretending my fav season has already started!

 I just can't wait to see the city covered in brown leaves and wearing hats and scarves while outside the stores are putting fairylights outside and everywhere is all pumpkin spice lattes and smiles! :)

As I am getting into the autumnal spirit I have started wearing a lot of autumnal colours both on the clothes and on the makeup, so - along with a makeup look video - I decided to show you what I am enjoying the most in these days and what I am loving to put on almost everyday! x

 

 

• As you may know, the foundation I am using a lot is the Too Faced Born This Way foundation. I love it a lot, it has a great coverage, it's very light and my skin looks fresh and healthy almost all day whenever I put this on! I didn't think I would have put my beloved NARS sheer glow in a side but there it is, Too Faced conquered me!
•  As I am pale as a ghost during fall, I am loving the Too Faced chocolate soleil bronzer cause it is light but buildable, it smells of chocolate (yuuum) and it is in a perfect shade to warm up the yellowy-looking face!
• For blusher I am really loving strong colours like this red. Yes, I said red and I never imagined myself wearing a colour like that but I tried it on and I felt in love! [Yes, you have to be careful unless you'll end up looking like Santa Claus :) haha]
• Nail polishes: I am really loving both browns and light pinks and berry shades like these two by kiko which are the number 243 and 363.
• The eyeshadow I am loving the most is this one by NABLA in Rust; it's an amazing and vibrant bronze shade that works really great with blue eyes as well. L O V E.
• Lipsticks: the shades I am wearing and loving the most are the beloved Rimmel Kate Moss in 107 and NABLA domina lipstick. The 107 is more on the red side and Domina is more on the berry/purple side. Both really amazing, both matte and longlasting.
• And last but not least, the mascara I am wearing all days is the They're Real by Benefit. I am back at it since months and reloved how builds up my lashes again, it's really amazing! Only down is that is SO hard to take it off at night (you will need oil based makeup removers)!

 

I'll leave you with the video on this makeup I am wearing the most, I hope you'll like it! 

Subscribe to my channel and leave a comment, I would appreciate it A LOT!

Hope you have a lovely and warm day!

See you on the next post!

Too Faced Born This Way Foundation Review and Swatches! ♥

Hello lovelies ♥

Today I have an exciting post for you as I am talking about the new Too Faced Born This Way foundation which I have been excited about ever since the news about it came out!

If you want to buy it you can do it from their online store here or in Sephora or any store that has a Too Faced counter!

So let's see what are the shades, what I think about them and how I feel about them!

 

First of all they came out in this GORGEOUS pink bag! This is so so cute and I will bring it with me everywhere! Inside we have all the 12 shades that are in the stores now (they will come out with another 6 shades - three darker and three lighter - in autumn). 

The foundation sounds like a dream:

• Medium-to-full undetectable coverage
• Oil-free
• Coconut Water helps delicately replenish skin’s moisture levels without overhydrating for the look of radiant skin
• Infused with the resilient Alpine Rose to brighten the skin’s appearance and promote elasticity
• Hyaluronic Acid helps balance skin for a smoother, more youthful appearance

 

The bottle is amazing! I love the frost packaging with the gold, and the golden TF on the cup make it just perfect and elegant AND it has a pump!! YES, Too Faced, you know how to make things!!

[Note: This pump works for the Nars sheer glow too!]

Everything is so nice and elegant and like a dream but let's see the perks and the pitfalls!

 

The perks:

It is an amazing foundation

Hydrates the skin

Skin really looks better after

You can get a medium coverage and layer

Looks incredibly natural

Blends really well

Stays all day (I had it on from 8am and at midnight it was still there)

Provides a great dewy and natural look

The Pitfalls:

This is not a foundation for everyone, by that I mean that if you have oily skin or you don't like dewy look foundation then this could not be perfect for you.

I have been trying it now that is summer so I will see how it works in winter but as it tends to get shiny, if you have oily skin I think you will have a problem.

Then other pitfall is for the colour range that unfortunately will not suit anyone, but they will add more shades so if you can't find your perfect match, just wait and you'll be satisfied! :)

Here are the swatches:

Colours from left to right:

Porcelain - Ivory - Vanilla - Nude - Warm Nude - Light Beige - Natural Beige - Warm Beige - Sand - Golden - Honey - Caramel

As I have a very dry skin for me this foundation is heaven in a bottle but I would recommend you to try it before buy it and get a sample so you can see how it works on your skin and what is the best match for you! This is an incredible foundation but if you have very oily skin and it doesn't work for your skin then it could be a nightmare (but this is for any liquid foundation if you have very oily skin) so, as always, try it! If you have dry skin then run at the first store and GET IT and.. tell them YOU WERE BORN THIS WAY!! :)

I really hope this helped you, I am loving this foundation a lot! Let me know in the comments if you have it, what is your shade, if you like it or if you want to try it and if you have any question about the colours or everything leave a comment here or write me wherever you want and I will happily help you! :)

Have a lovely day!

Remeber that you can follow me on instagram and subscribe to my channel! 

I would love to see you there!

Much love!

NUDE dude by theBalm - review and swatches

Goodmorning lovelies ➹

As you can tell I am back with a post about the absolutely beautiful Nude Dude palette by theBalm ♡ 

 

I'm sure everyone have heard about theBalm amazing make up range and this palette, which is the second one of a NUDE "series" that includes the first one called Nude tude that has more browny shades in it! This one as you can tell is a bit more cool toned and pinkier; I think this is perfect for every skin tones, even for palest skins cause you can't go wrong with golden-pinky-browns shades!

 

First thing first: look at the packaging! TheBalm are most famous for their packagings cause they are really amazing and I love everything is "vintage style"! Here in the Nude dude palette we have six types of dude (hehe) and everyone is special!

You get a huge mirror, a super handy packaging (only thing is that the packging is made of cardboard so you have to be careful not to stain it as it's so beautiful it would be awful! I know, I have an obsession!), a double brush and 12 wonderful eyeshadows, all very very pigmented and long lasting!

Here are the shades and the swatches! :)

• Fearless: matte butter shade, I love it to prime my lid or just as a base colour for days you just want to do eyeliner and mascara.
• Flawless: great light brown matte shade, perfect for the crease and even for eyebrows.
• Firm: frost darker brown 
• Flirty: frost purple/burgundy shade
• Friendly: matte deep purple/wine shade
• Fierce: shimmery black
• Fablulous: frost, almost duo chrome, white shade with a lot of gold in it, perfect for highlighting
• Faithful: light frost gold
• Fit: frost copper
• Feisty: amazing matte rusty shade, love it in the crease
• Funny: frost burgundy shade
• Fine: shimmery deep brown

 

first arm is from Fabulous to Fine

second arm is from Fearless to Fierce 

My fav colours (most used) are: Fiesty, Fit and Faithful!

I hope this post was useful and hope I helped you if you had the plan of getting it!

I think this is an amazing palette and I'd recommend it to anyone!

Give it a go!

Wish you a lovely day!

Too Faced Semi Sweet Chocolate Bar Review & Swatches

Hello lovelies! ❤

The title speaks for itself.. I am so so excited to share with you the palette I have been loving on and on recently: the semi-sweet chocolate bar palette by Too Faced! ❤

 

Packaging is so adorable! It's a chocolate bar outside and also inside as it smells like heaven! Something betweet chocolate and vanilla! I just can't stop smelling it everytime I use it!

You get 16 eyeshadows and a huge mirror in a metal packaging (so handy and great even for travelling) and you will have every colour you will need if you're a fan of browns and goldish shades but you also get some colours, glitters and basics matte shades like a black and a white!

I think that this palette covers all my needs as I use a lot of browns and neutrals shades! It has both matte, frosty and shimmery shades and, of course, the quality is the best; they feel like butter on skin, super blendable and long lasting (I've proved them even without a primer and they last very well!!)

Here's a picture of what the eyeshadows look like!

Swatches from left to right: 

rum raisin - mousse - caramel - bon bon - butter pecan - frosting - peanut butter

Second arm swatches from left to right:

blueberry swirl - puddin' - pink sugar - cocoa chilli - hot fudge - truffled - nougat

coconut cream - licorice

❤

Now let's talk about every shade individually:

•  Rum Raisin: frosty medium brown, cool based with a hint of silver in it
• Mousse: matte light brown perfect as a transition shade
• Caramel: amazing frost caramel shade, it speaks for it self it's just a true caramel goldish shade
• Bon Bon: is a beautiful frost bronze/coppery shade, warm and perfect to make blue eyes pop
• Butter Pecan: pearlescent yellowy cream, great for highlighting
• Frosting: frost medium brown with a hint of gold and warm based
• Peanut Butter: amazing matte super warm brown, great to warm up smokey eyes or as a transition shade. Almost rust. 
• Blueberry Swirl: frosty blue with small blue glitters, really buildable so you have to dab it and work it well to get that pure blue colour
• Puddin': matte dark and cool toned brown
• Pink Sugar: is a topper! I love this colour, I know a lot of people hate it cause "it doesn't work, you can't see the pink" and on and on.. but people don't get that it is an amazing shimmery topping for other eyeshadows and it's amazing! It's a light pink with amazing gold, violet and pink glitters! I love it and pictures don't give it justice.. it also reminds me of the new NARS Christopher Kane's collection' eyeshadow in outer limits. I'm going to show you a closer pic of Pink Sugar so you can get the idea of the colour itself.

• Cocoa chili: dark brown with gold glitters! Really great for night time
• Hot Fudge: frost, dark brown, cool toned. Almost like puddin' but a bit darker and of course, frost
• Truffled: matte chocolate brown
• Nougat: matte dark pink, cool toned, great for shadings
• Coconut Crème: matte butter white
• Licorice: matte black

And that's it! I think I have never loved a palette more than this and I highly highly recommend it!!

It's going to be released in UK in July 15th and Italy on Aug 17th!

Go to the Too Faced stand and try it, at least sniff it; I'm sure you'll love it as much as I do!

I hope you liked the review and hope you have a great day!

See you soon and love you all!

SEPHORA green tea fiber mask

Helloo!

So we're in July! How is it possible? I feel like May was the other day.. 

It's definitely summer as the weather is really really warm!

Here I am today to talk about one of my fav products of the moment: fiber face masks!

 

They are amazing for travel cause they're wrapped in a small bag and to make your skin look fresh and amazing. Sephora has in their range a great variety of colours and flavours. So far I have tried the ginger one, pomegranade one, perl one and this green tea one and they all were amazing!

I even like them cool; you just put them in the fridge before applying it! So good and calming!

So this is how they work:

You open the package

Apply it into clean and dry skin by pressing it gently on your face

Leave it on for 15 minutes

Peel it off

DON'T wash your face but just rub in the rest of the product and you're done!

Be prepared: you will look scary with that on haha

but I promise your skin will be better right after.

 

So here was my quick review on these masks! Have you ever tried other brands ones? 

I only know these one by Sephora so leave a comment down below if you know other brands that do it and I will be sure to try them!

Wish you a wonderful evening!

W7 make up haul & review

Hello lovelies ❤

Here I am today with a haul/review on some stuff that W7 has kindly sent me!

Here's the bunch of things; I got:

• The argan oil lip balm
• The Thick em up mascara
• The king kohl eye pencil in black
• The camouflage concealer kit
• The in the mood palette

Let's start with the review of every single item :)

 

Let's start with the thing I was more excited to try and actually the thing I loved the most: in the mood palette!

I heard so many things about it and I am so happy I had the chance to try it!

 

The palette has 6 eyeshadows, all in natural/nude colours, one shimmer and the other ones matte.

As you may notice is the perfect dupe for the Naked Basics palette by Urban Decay. 

I compared them down here and I must day that they are pretty the same. W7 shadows are so pigmented, they last pretty well and colours are vibrant just like the UD ones. 

UD ones are, of course, more buttery and easy to blend and they last a bit longer but, for the price, W7 ones are really amazing! I recommend you to buy this as it's a great palette and would be a perfect item to travel with!

 

(right swaches are w7's and left are UD's)

Then let's talk about the camouflage kit.. As a camouflage kit I was expecting a great coveage but I was, unfortunately, wrong. The palette has 5 shades of creamy concealers; some of them are peachy (under eyes circles) and others are more beige (face) but the problem is not just the fact that they don't match my pale skin, but the fact that they don't cover at all :(

I have tried them many times but they just give a bit of colour but actually nothing in terms of coverage. I am so sad cause it would have been great to have a palette like this with a great amout of shades just in one place. Unfortunately I do not recommend this to you! Meh :(

 

 The it's the argan oil lip balm! It's a normal lip balm, packed like a lipstick!

It's of course transparent but I am actually surprised about it! I thought it would have done nothing to my super dry lips but I actually liked it and I am using it a lot! It probably doesn't have the greatest inci but it does the job and I am difficult to please when it comes to lip balms. It's not the best but, I mean, if you want to try a different lip balm, this is quite nice. And it smells lovely.

 

Other thing I liked is the eye pencil. It reminds me of the UD ones in the packaging but UD ones are more creamy and soft, this one is more "dry" but stays on pretty well, it's carbon black so I liked it! I didn't use it in the waterline and I don't think it would be great used there but it lasted pretty nice on the lid! Again, it's so so so cheap so.. nice for that! :)

 

Last one is probably the thing that disappointed me the most cause I was expecting a lot from this but actually is the thing I would less recommend :( It's not the mascara itself, the formula it's a but liquidy but It's a great black and dries well..the problem is the applicator. It's pure p l a s t i c; rigid one! It's awful and as it's so rigid it tends to stain the lid :( So I don't recommend it! I head great thing about the others w7 mascaras like the Bunny Lash but this.. just no. :( 

 

Hope this review was helpful! Have you ever tried something from W7? I am so impressed by the palette and I can't wait to try the other ones as they seem cool dupes! Let me know if you have these and what you like from the brand so I can check em out!

See you on my next post!

love you!

❤
