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!

I would love to see you there!

Much love!

Easy Smoothie Recipe

Hello lovelies ☀

Here I am today with another quick and easy recipe, great for breakfast!

 

I have bought the blend-active blender and since than I have been enjoying making myself smoothies as it's so so easy and quick to make them. Here's the recipe I have been doing lately!

Peach Banana Smoothie

1 banana

1 peach 

1 spoon of yogurt

a dash of almond milk

chia seeds

I just chop the fruit and put the pieces in the blender, then add the yogurt and milk.

Blend everything in and the mix chia seeds in it!

Chia seeds are among the healthiest foods on the planet. 

They are loaded with nutrients that can have important benefits for our body and brain. 

They don't have a flavour so you can literally add them in everything like smoothies, salads or just plain yogurt.. wherever you want! 

They are so small but what they do to us is so big! 28 grams of chia seeds contain:

• Fiber: 11 grams.
• Protein: 4 grams.
• Fat: 9 grams (5 of which are Omega-3s).
• Calcium: 18% of the RDA.
• Manganese: 30% of the RDA.
• Magnesium: 30% of the RDA.
• Phosphorus: 27% of the RDA.
• They also contain a decent amount of Zinc, Vitamin B3, Potassium, Vitamin B1 and Vitamin B2.

 I hope you liked this quick post and I wish you a lovely day!

What's the point? #NoMoreHate

As you can see from the title I am here to talk about an important topic cause not only I have been into it but cause a lot of people get free hate everyday and I just can't accept it. I use to say "be kind one to another" all the times but people just seem to love hate, be mean and wreck people's day, which sometimes can turn into wreck people's life. That's the strong power of words. I don't get that, I don't see the point in giving free hate. If you don't like someone then bugger off, if you don't have anything nice to say then don't speak at all. What's the point in being rude and mean? At least, what is the point in being like that hidden behind a nickname? We keep forgetting that we are all human, we all have feelings and to be nice one to another is a thing that could help a lot of lives. You will never know what someone is struggling for and most of the times you will never know, so just try to be gentle, be kind and be respectful. Life is beautiful only if we can live it the right way. Getting hate is never a great experience; and by getting hate I don't mean getting constructive comments (of course people can disagree with you in something or don't like something or help you getting other points of view) but just mean, pointless and awful comments like "I hate you", "bitch", "you don't have your own soul", "you're just copying her", "get a life", "kill yourself", "ugly", "be you" and so on. Comments based on nothing, posts based on mean thoughts that are not true at all directed to a person that they don't even know. Judging, lying and hate are the things that annoy me the most. You can't judge people for a phrase, a picture, a name, a skin colour, a culture.. You simply can't. There's a big whole world behind everyone and no one will probably see it all. Everyone has their own battle to fight, their insecurities, diseases, fears, points of view and you can't pretend to know someone just looking at the cover of the book of their lives. I don't want to be specific with all the hate I get sometimes and why, buta lot of you may know it and I tried to explain my point of view so many times that I am just sick of having to justify the fact of being myself. It's like that it happens that you look a bit like a well know person then you can be you only by liking different things or you can't do anything without getting "copycat" comments in literally everything. I mean, a lot of people, for example, wear hair in a bun but if it's up to me then no, I am just copying someone. Sometimes I feel like I can't buy something I genuinely like or post a picture of myself because mean people will start saying that I am pretending to be someone else and copying everything and that I have to get a life. This IS my life. This IS me, all the times. People don't realize that I couldn't be anyone but myself, that there's no point in copying as I am trying so hard to put me in everything but sometimes is so hard to let people see what's inside the book and not just the cover that can be mispelled by people. There are moments that everything is just too much and you just want to give up on everything but no, don't do it, be strong and keep pushing. I won't stop myself doing what I want to do or liking what I like or wear what I want to wear just because people don't know anything about me and will comment things being just mean. I try my best to ignore bad words cause I can't change the way some people think, but I just don't like it. Who would like that? If we can just spend a minute thinking about that before leaving a comment or judge people, it would probably help in not doing it. If you find a point in hate please tell me cause I can't find it! Hate less, love more. Is nice being nice, it's good making people smile but it's awful making people upset. Share more love and the world could be a different place. And to all of you that get hate, no matter if once or everyday, just be strong, react, smile, mentally block those mean people, do what makes you happy and just don't care about anything else but being happy with what you are. 

You are beautiful and precious the way you are, let no hate destroy you! 

I love you. 

With love,

M
