Regina's beauty...: MAKE-UP AND SKIN CARE HAUL

Hi everyone!

I finally did it, I started a beauty blog! I've been planning on doing this for ages and now I'm making it happen.

So, my first blog post is a make-up and skin care haul. I recently purchased some new make-up and skin care goodies from http://www.feelunique.com/ and http://www.cocooncenter.co.uk/. I ordered a few things I've been wanting to get for about a year.

SKIN CARE:

Bioderma Sebium H2O Micelle Solution

I've heard so many people talk about the Bioderma micellar water and everybody seems to love it. I needed a new make-up remover so I decided to give it a go. Although everybody seems to use the one that's made for sensitive skin, I decided to order the one that's meant for combination/oily skin, because my skin has recently been quite oily. It is supposed to gently cleanse the skin and remove make-up without drying out the skin. Also, it claims to prevent pores from getting clogged. I guess we'll see how it works for me.

Avène Cleanance Expert Care

This is a specific care for acneic skin. It's supposed to reduce redness and eliminate spots. I ordered this, because I've been getting more and more spots on my face. I'm really hoping this will improve my skin!

Planter's Perfect Eyes Reduction Gel

I needed a new eye cream/gel, so I was browsing through the cocooncenter website and found this one. It is an anti-dark circles, anti-puffiness and anti-signs of stress(the last one is great since school is starting again...) eye gel. I don't really have puffy eyes, but I do have dark circles under my eyes, so I'm hoping this will help with that.

MAKE-UP:

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer

This one is a repurchase, because I love this concealer. It is great for covering dark circles and spots, I also use this as a subtle highlighter. I love the soft applicator and I also really like the fact that I can get all the product out from the bottle. Also, it is quite inexpensive, I highly recommend this concealer!

Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette

Everybody seems to love this palette since it has neutral shades and is great for travelling. I don't really use eyeshadows too much, so this is a great palette for me. It has six shades, five of them are matte and one is slightly glittery. The shadows are so silky and smooth, I instantly fell in love with these. I love the color(all of these colors are very pigmented), because there is basically every shade of eyeshadow that I need for every look.

Urban Decay Naked Flushed Palette in Streak

This palette includes a bronzer, highlighter and a blush. Again, all of these are very silky and nice. I absolutely love the highlighter, it's looks great on the face. The blush is peachy and super silky. Sadly, I'm quite disappointed with the bronzer, because it isn't pigmented at all and the shade looks a little bit red on my face. Maybe the bronzer suits better for other skin tones, because I've heard great things about this bronzer. All in all, I'm very happy with this palette.

L'Oréal Eva's Nude Color Riche Lipstick

My first nude lipstick! This is a beautiful shade of lipstick, it's a very smooth and moisurizing lipstick. The shade is great for my skin tone. The lipstick has a weird scent that some people can't stand, but I don't mind.

Real Techniques Sculpting Brush

I love all of the brushes by Real Techniques. Their brushes are so soft, they look great, they last well and they are not expensive at all. I already have over 10 brushes by Real Tecniques and I adore all of them.

Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge

This sponge is very similar to the beautyblender, that everybody raves about. You have to wet the sponge to create an airbrushed finish. I'm very excited to try this and see how it works!
