That Girl With A Camera

We all have favourites, right? Favourite foods, music, places. And of course products. What I want to talk about are two products that have become the pillars of my morning routine. The only reason that keeps me from using them is lack of time due to those extra minutes of sleep! Curious much? Here they are: THE BODY SHOP Spa of the World - Japanese Camellia Cream and SLEEK Be Beautiful Blemish Balm. The BB cream: that's right. A BB cream. I asked a friend what she thought of the idea of me getting one. I have a normal skin and have been blessed with 0% achne. There are no spots or scars for me to cover, so the idea was to find a light product that gave my face an even tone, without making it look like I had a mask on. After reading reviews online, this was the best brand for normal skin: it doesn't turn orange over the day, easy to apply, dries fast and doesn't look to shinny or matte. The other plus was the fact that SLEEK is an affordable brand. I wasn't sure I...

Red is eternal, but orange is so fresh and just in time for summer! One shade, two textures. THE BODY SHOP Colour Crush #110 M.A.C Wash & Dry Lipgloss Laundry List A great shade from a great range of lipsticks. It gives colour to the lips without making them too bright. Hydrating, does not smuge and lasts hours, even if you eat and drink. If the first was a great choice for work, this shade is perfect for a night out. With a more intense colour, lasts hours, doesn't dry the lips and smells so good!! (All of M.A.C 's lipglosses and lipsticks smell great). Are you embracing this shade and wearing it this summer? XOXO, M

Being an enthusiast of all things from The Body Shop, I'm always looking forward for new products and ranges. Recently, the brand launched their Smoky Poppy line, with Turkish poppies and just in time for Valentine's day. I have featured the body lotion on this month's wishlist, but along with the line came another product. These Velvet Sticks are suitable for lips and cheeks. The colours look vivid here, but I tested them in the store and was a little disappointed. The coral one was also on my wishlist, but I found the colour to be very light on the lips.  So what did I bring? See the black one? "Black lipstick and black blush?" Naah!! The packaging is gorgeous, but I'm a sucker for black and pink. Also the poppy flower print blends in very well with the logo! Here's what's interesting: this stick is called "universal" because it works for everyone. But not everyone will get the same shade! The colour changes according to your skin's pH ...

Temperatures have been decreasing everyday and now it's finally the right weather for the right season!  And I say this because my lips and hands have began dry and get itchy. My solution? Hand cream and the best combination of gloss and lipstick! Nothing new here. THE BODY SHOP 's hand creams are my favourites and the Honey one is amazing. Plus, for the holidays the store makes small gifts that include either hand cream+soap or hand cream+lip balm, so no excuses to go and grab one! The launch of YSL Vernis à Lèvres was a most antecipated event and I became a fan as soon as I bought my first! I have tried a similar product from a different brand and it's really not the same! The colour stays for hours without drying, so it's basically the best product if your lips are getting dried and you want to wear a colour that stays for hours and it's not a good idea to wear a matte lipstick! *chuckles* All in all, a purple-ish pink that stays bright and glossy a long time! G...
