Project 10 Pan -6 !!!

First update about my Project 10PAN - so I can throw away/reuse the packagings immediately :)

First 4 products gone!
The bottle is from a Cleansing Milk + Toner from Yves Rocher. It's super fresh and I love to use it before I go to sleep because it leaves my skin really clean and healty. I liked it a lot, I just forgot it a bit because I bought new stuff, but I would definetly repurchase it.
Leocrema LipBalm in Milk+Mint: not so mosturizing unfortunately, but super fresh and minty on lips! I just loved applying and re-applying because of the lovely effect, but so far I did not notice any improvement of my lips
Yves Rocher Almond LipBalm: I love these lipbalms by YR! I have lots of them in all the flavours, but probably the almond is my favourite. really rich, super mosturizing and lasts really long. makes my lips feel soft and nice even in winter and with a lot of wind! I'll definetly buy more and more!!
Catrice All Around Concealer Beige: this concealers' palette is lovely and really creamy. they have a good coverage and pretty good last. it's a pity that of course you don't really use all of them. now I am trying to mix the light and the darker color to keep using them. the palette also has a pink and a green.
So, this is what I have done so far!!




Ecco i primi 4 prodotti finiti! (faccio subito la foto così posso gettare/riutilizzare i packaging)
La bottiglia viene da un Latte+Tonico di Yves Rocher. E' super fresco, e adoro usarlo la sera prima di andare a dormire. Lascia la pelle molto pulita e sana. Mi piace moltissimo, avevo solo dimenticato di averlo perchè ho comprato cose nuove, ma lo ricomprerei decisamente! 
Burrocacao Leocrema al LatteMenta: non particolarmente idratante purtroppo, ma molto fresco e "mentoso" sulle labbra! Mi piace molto applicarlo e ri-applicarlo per la sensazione fresca sulle labbra, ma non ho notato alcun miglioramento a livello di idratazione....
Burrocacao Yves Rocher alle mandorle: adoro questi burrocacao di YR! Ne ho tantissimi in tutte le profumazioni, ma probabilmente quello alle mandorle è il mio preferito. molto ricco, super idratante e con una buona durata! Le mie labbra sono morbide e idratate anche d'inverno e con tanto vento. Lo comprerò decisamente di nuovo.
Correttore Catrice All Around: questa palette di correttori è molto buona, i correttori sono cremosi, con una buona copertura e durata. è un peccato che ovviamente non si riescano ad usare tutti i colori, ora sto cercando di mischiare quello più chiaro e quello scuro per continuare ad usarli. ci sono anche un verde e un rosa in questa palette.
Ecco, questo è quello che sono riuscita a fare fino ad ora, come dicevo nel post precedente partivo avvantaggiata perchè tutte queste cose erano quasi finite, ora sarà dura con le altre 6!!

Tag: 20 questions

Actually... nobody tagged me but I wanted to do this, so here you are...

1. What can't you leave the house without?

I guess my bag (in which I carry a lot of useless stuff). To be more specific, I feel lost without lip balm.

2. Favourite makeup brand?
I love a german makeup brand named Essence, I have tons of products by them and I have rarely been disappointed.

3. Favourite flower?
I do not receive flowers often. I love daises, they are sweet and simple.

I love H&M, C&A and Primark. I know the quality is bad but I like to have many things even if they don't last that long.
5. Favourite perfume?
Harajuku Baby from the series Harajuku Girls by Gwen Stefani. smells like clean!!

Definetly flat. in winter I love flat boots, Dr Marten's and nice men-style shoes. in summer I almost only wear Birkenstock and Converse All Star.

Posh Polish by Eyeko

oooooooh my god! I love this nail polish!! maybe it's not super-suitable for summer but who cares, it's just SO beautiful! it's elegant and lovely and creamy! I am officially in love. and I love how easy it is to apply and how creamy the color is. and, boyfriend loves it, which is not so common!

woooow! Adoro questo smalto! forse non è propriamente adatto alla stagione estiva ma chi se ne importa, è bellissimo! è elegante, cremoso, sono ufficialmente innamorata! e adoro la facilità di applicazione e la cremosità del colore...e il mio ragazzo approva, che non è una cosa da poco!

project 10 pan

I feel really bad lately for buying so much stuff without thinking...I have to say I always buy products in the cheap range, so it's not too much about the money I spend, but more about buying stuff which I forget soon because I buy something new... so I decided to do a round of Project 10 Pan! ohmygod I cannot believe it...although I have to say I am already starting not so bad: I have 2 lipbalms which are almost over, and one concealer...so not so terrible hopefully...

mi sento molto male per aver comprato un sacco di cose ultimamente senza pensare, devo dire che compro sempre cose di basso prezzo, quindi non è solo un problema di soldi, piuttosto il problema è che dimentico in fretta quello che ho comprato perchè prendo subito qualcosa di nuovo...quindi ho deciso di fare un giro di Project 10 Pan. oddio non ci credo!! devo dire però che comincio abbastanza avvantaggiata: ho 2 burrocacao quasi finiti e anche un correttore...quindi magari non sarà così terribile!

I am back...with a petite haul...

oooh I was so bad lately...but hopefully I am back and willing to write on my little blog again.... the last months unfortunately (or luckily?) were really hectic...but, fingers crossed, summer will be more relaxed and easy...and I also want to start writing my posts in two languages, because sometimes I miss writing in italian!

I received my last (small) eyeko order in the post yesterday...just 2 nail polishes that were in my wishlist for months and now are finally mine! I bet you all know them...but anyway, here they are!

Eyeko Vintage Polish (a lovely lovely jade color) and Eyeko Nude Polish. they both look super subtle elegant colors...and I can't wait to try them! ...but for the moment I am testing a nail polish by Kiko which I just bought and I want to see how long it can last (not so bad, so far, 5 days and just a minor chip!) Now I am also waiting for the Posh Polish, which was supposed to be shipped with the other two, but was not in the package. I wrote them and the problem was fixed in less than 2 hours, such an amazing customer service they have! thumbs up for Eyeko! this was my 4th order and it's always so quick and smooth...

AND! I finally found a make-up remover which removes their lovely-but-definetly-stubborn tube mascara... yeah!

oooh sono stata tremenda ultimamente...però (dita incrociate) sono tornata e voglio decisamente continuare a scrivere sul mio piccolo blog di nuovo.... gli ultimi mesi sono stati sfortunatamente (o fortunatamente?) davvero frenetici, però con un po' di fortuna l'estate sarà più rilassata e tranquilla.... e voglio anche scrivere il blog in due lingue adesso, perchè mi manca scrivere in italiano a volte!!!

Ieri ho ricevuto nella posta il mio piccolo ultimo ordine Eyeko... solo 2 smalti che erano nella mia lista dei desideri da mesi e che finalmente sono miei.... sicuramente li conoscete tutti, ma in ogni caso eccoli qua: il vintage polish e il nude polish... sembrano entrambi bellissimi e molto eleganti! non vedo l'ora di provarli ma al momento sto testando uno smalto di Kiko che ho appena comprato e voglio vedere come si comporta... (niente male fino ad ora, 5 giorni e solo una piccolissima scheggiatura!)
Ora sto anche aspettando il Posh Polish, che sarebbe dovuto essere nel pacco di ieri, ma non c'era.... ho scritto ad Eyeko e in meno di 2 ore il problema era risolto, incredibile, hanno un servizio clienti ottimo!!!! questo è stato il mio quarto ordine e come sempre è andato tutto benissimo....E! ultima cosa! ho finalmente trovato uno struccante che strucca alla perfezione il loro carinissimo-ma-un-po'-troppo-resistente mascara in tubo....yeah!

NOTD 20 april

This is from the "Show your feet" collection of Essence. these polishes can of course be used for hands as well, it's just they have antibacteric inside. the color is no.1 Carribean Sea. I have to say I am still not 100% sure I like the color. it's definetly bright and gets noticed a lot, which is nice. but there is something ...banal about it. I mean, it's an average blue nail polish, nothing special. I feel it would be more for a younger girl maybe... BUT I love the nail polish itself! super easy to apply, this is just one coat as it is made to give great coverage with just a thin layer of product. it works! I am planning to buy more colors, there is for sure a yellow and a purple which I really want to try.

products I regret buying - april 2010

I've been neglecting this blog too much lately so I will try to write and follow a bit more in the next months...I took inspiration for this post from a makeup I did a yesterday with a combination of "no" products that I want to talk about...

Starting from recent shopping, a couple of weeks ago I bought this mascara from Essence, called hypno gloss. I have to admit I have a big crush on Essence products at the moment. I think they are the best low-price products I can find around, and absolutely perfect for everyday makeup. I have a little bit of everything, from foundation to nail polish, from eye pencils to bronzers. so, I was supercurious about their mascaras, and although I had already a few other to finish, I bought a new one, just to see how it was...but there were so many, so it actually hard to pick one, and I decided not to check reviews....WRONG choice! I was of course attracted by the packaging, and the "gloss" word referred to a mascara...wow, glossy eyelashes??? hypnotic eyes??? I didn't pay any attention to the other mascaras and just grabbed this one.

mmm....volume, lenght, gloss....no, none of this. I still don't get what this mascara actually does. there is no lenght or volume added, and no gloss at all. it barely shows up after two applications...it's like I do not wear mascara at all! I was pretty shocked the first time I tried it, actually. I also don't like to add so many layers of mascara on my eyelashes so I will basically stick with 2 coats and accept the fact that my look will be...errr...natural.

second wrong (but older) choice were the eyeko eyeshadow tins. I love eyeko, I wear some of their products basically every day! I have the 3in1 cream, which is one of my fave all-times-fave. I use their nailpolishes, and also fat balms are one of my must-have...but the eyeshadows...oh-oh.

I bought the first one, pretty eyes (the more pink/lilac one), on the eyeko website. later I discovered that there were two other variations and ordered the cool eyes (blue/smokey eyes colors) on another website, spending a ridiculously high price for it... oh no. I wish I had waited to try the pretty eyes first.

these eyeshadows are great to see, but unfortunately not pigmented at all! the colors in the tin are bright, shimmery, super nice. then you apply it...and where is it? no trace at all. you need to pack so much product to actually see any pigment on your eyelids!

and, second, it doesn't last. I applied it around 11 in the morning with a primer underneath, and around five in the afternoon it looked like I had no makeup at all. it was not just faded...I disappeared!! well. except for the crease of course. there was a tiny little bit there. sob.

I hope to get some feedback about it because I am supercurious about other experiences with these two products!
