Yves-Rocher Haul!!!

Hello beautiful bloggers! A few days ago I have received my order from Yves-Rocher. (http://www.yves-rocher.com/) I was very excited with my order, because it was the firts one I made. So I got a few products to try and see how they work. I have used their products before, but never made an actual order on their site. If you have never heard of this brand, they do natural products, with no parabens and they have very affordable prices. Even more, almost everytime they give you presents and samples or new products to try . They are very cool and very serious. For example , for an amount of money for a order you can get 3 gifts and the delivery free. They are amazing, and until I have been loving their products.For this order I got present the next items: 3 bags (the ones with grey and pink from the pictures bellow), their new mascara, a mega-sample of their new aqua hydrating gel, and their new eye roller for dark circles.Isn`t that amazing? So, order made , products arrived. Here they are:


Sexy Pulp Mascara - GIFT

Coffee Beans Shower Gel - which is actually for my Mom, but smell delicious

Lotus Flower Shower Gel - Which smells very fresh and clean:)


Purrifying Shampoo- Amazing product, NO PARABENS, NO COLORANTS 

Detangling Shampoo, I actually didn`t try it yet, but I will let you know as soon as I do.

This is the Roll-on Anti aging and Anti dark circles. I have just introduce it to my routine. so still trying it out. - GIFT

This is their new Hydra Vegetal - Intense Hydrating Gel Cream - GIFT

Their Repairing Lip Balm, which I also didn`t used, because I still have a few more to finish up.

Rose serbet nail polish - Very nice colour after 2 coates.

The 3 bags I got as a gift:) Very useful for traveling and for organising your things in the suitcase. They will be very useful since I will travel in the nest month. I am starting to prepare from now, so I don`t panic 2 days early and don`t forget anything.

Almond Cream -for very dry skin, a good size to carry around in your bag, smell very clean and fresh, if you like Olive and natural scents.
All in all I am very satisfied with the first order and I look forward to their new offers and products. Most of the products got into my travel kit that I start to put together for the next trip that I am going to take. Since I have to organise a lot of stuff until then, I don`t want to panic, So I started from now to have everything in place and to know what I need to buy before I go. Kisses darlings. See you soon. XOXO Violet.

New AVON discovery!!

Hello beautiful ladies! I have just discovered a new gel liner from AVON. It`s so nice and smooth and stays on forever. OMG.!! I`m super excited with it and I really love it. I don`t usually buy liner from Avon, but this time I made an exception and it was totally worth it. I also bought a new lipstick from Avon, which claimed that it was very resistant and gave long wear. It is nice and the colour I chose it is really pretty, and it really stays on as said, but not all the day. I like that is not dry, as most of the products of this kind are, and it has a really nice application. And is not expensive, so totally worth it. Check them out here in some photos, I switched them for you. Hope you like it and that you will consider buy the liner, it is absolutely amazing....I am very impressed.

Extra Lasting Lipstick in Vintage Pink
Hope you had a very nice Valentine`s Day. Until next time kisses and all the best. xoxo Violet!:)

MUA Palettes & Avon Mini Haul!

Hello my lovely flowers!!Everything ok? Yesterday I got my 2 MUA Palettes and the order from Avon and I thought I share with you what I bought and what are my first impressions.
MUA Palettes are ok for the price that they come with. Some of the colours are gorgeous and really nice quality, and some are just average. Anyway we can`t get all good for that price, so I`m quite satisfied with what I got. The two palettes that I bought are Poptastic and Going for Gold. They are two totally different palettes and I`m pleased. Ok, now don`t expect high end quality from them, but they are ok to experiment with and you get quite a variety of colours from both. Oh and they are all shimmers, some have more, some have less. I took some photos of each palette and they colours close up. I hope you see them fine. Here they are:
Going For Gold



Poptastic
Now moving on to the AVON products. I just bought some things I needed, and I like some of their products just fine, and some of them I always use. I just put some photos of the products and if you have any questions about them just ask, but other than that I always use Avon for their hair and face masks. The only new thing that I got is the hair mask, the new one with argan oil. It will be the first time I use this, but I really hope it will be as good as the other stuff I usually buy from Avon. Here are the photos, for more info just ask.:) I`m willing to answer whatever you want. xoxo, Violet :)

I really recommend the hair brush





You know I love peel-oof masks:)

It`s time for January Favorites!!

Hello lovely butterflies!!
Being February now I have decided to do a January favorites. It`s just random stuff that I bought and used in january and that I really like and will continue using!:) So...here they are:
1.Revlon Colorstay Foundation - I absolutely love it. It has a medium to high cover, very nice application, the only thing that bothers me is the bottle, the fact that it doesn`t have a pump or something. But as far as quality, I looove it.


2.Sephora Mineral Foundation. I like it very much as a powder over a lighter foundation or one that doesn`t offer too much cover. It is very good if you look for a more natural, everyday look.
3.L`oreal Color Infailible. Of course I like this also. Who doesn`t ? I only manage to get the colour Endless Chocolat, but I still love it. Is very nice for smoky brown look. If you haven`t tried it yet, go and buy one.

4.For eyeliners I have 4 products that I use almost everyday. I just change it between them, depends on the look. From Sephora I got to of the Flashy liner waterproof in: Flashy silver[which is actually shimmer white] and Flashy Taupe [which is a dark brown with a lil bit of shimmer, almost a blue shimmer, very nice].From Miss Sporty I have the Kohl kajal eye pencil in 001 - Magic, let me tell you guys that is the best liner ever. I absolutely love it, it`s very smooth and pigmented and goes on very nicely, and if you fix it with a black shadow it lasts you all day. And the 4th product is from ELF[eyeslipsface], and is the Jumbo Eyeshadow Stick - in Like a boss - which is pretty much like the NYX jumbo pencils. Let me tell that is very nice and smooth, and I use it for a base in creating smoky eyes, because it`s a dark blue colour. For that price I totally buy every single colour that they have.
5.Favorite Scent : Intimately by Beckam. This scent also has  a body lotion, which I also love and use pretty much every day after shower.
6.Favorite Brushes : this month I have used ELF brushes, over and over again. The 2 most loved brushes from Elf are the Stippling Brush and The powder brush [the top flat one from the studio line]. These are the most used brushes of the month.
7.Favorite lipstick/lipgloss - is the ELF luscious lipstick in Strawberry. It is a very nice redish pink colour, it goes on kind of sheer, but it`s not sticky or nasty. It is a very good product, very good quality also, and a very pleasant colour alternative for daytime red lip.

8.Favorite mascaras are L`Oreal Volumissime Carbon Black [This is my fav of all times] And Rimmel London Scandaleyes - And these two have been the combination of the last month, which I wore every single day.

9. Favorite Accesories : some of the most worn accesories of this month are:
10. Best clothing combination and also fav combination:

11.Favorite hair accesories :  



12. Favorite inspirational book:
And these are my favorite things of the month...At least the ones that stood up the most. :) Until next time, kisses. Yours truly , Violet.
