Clinique craziness

Hello all you beautiful people! Dont' you sometimes feel like you want to pamper yourself. I mean, when you go to the drugstore and you just need one thing, one tiny thing but then you see a bigger thing and you are like "oh wau that looks pretty, I have to have it". You are allowed to do that sometimes, aren't you? 

Anyway I had one of those random shopping moments. I went to get something entirely different, something I really needed and instead ended up getting a set of stuff. 

I got the Clinique eyes set.

The set includes a lovely pink make up bag, all about eyes eye cream, eye cream de-puffing roller and mascara.

I have all ready praised the all about eyes cream in my previous post and this time I will have to continue with the same line. Still loving it! The eye roller was a new experience to me. I do not know if actually does any difference as in de-puffs your eyes. However it feels really good and refreshing on those really stupid days when waking up is just too painful or when your previous night ended few hours ago :p

The mascara is tiny and cute. As I have said before I don't think one should spend a lot of money on a mascara as I feel you can get the same result with cheaper versions as you can with expensive ones. Even though the mascara does not trickle any big desires or feelings in me it is conveniently small and I can actually carry it with me in my make up bag.

So how you doing? Have you splurged on anything this month?

October Favorites

In this month I have been really obsessed with my Clinique products. 

After running out of my bodyshop moisturizer, I was looking for something new and exciting. Just for fun I got the Clinique moisturizing lotion and that was probably the best idea ever. It is just perfect! It absorbs really quickly and makes my face feel so soft and smooth. It also pairs up really nicely with the Clinique "all about eyes", eye cream. They both compliment each other so well. The "all about eyes" -cream is probably the best eye cream I have ever tried. It really makes a difference when my eyes are all puffy and tired looking, it brightens them up. If you use any eye makeup, including mascara, then you should definitely invest in a good eye cream. Unless you really enjoy wrinkles.... I would definitely recommend Clinique eye cream.

Another great discovery has been the Rimmel Scandal Eyes. It has entirely replaced my Isadora Big and Bold mascara. 

The brush is big, however I think it is much easier to use than the Big and Bold brush. It last much longer than the Big and Bold and does not smutch that much. The result however, is pretty much the same as with the Isadora one.

Oh, and I really like the bright orange casing. Super cute and fun :)

Big and Bold

Currently, my favorite mascara is IsaDora's Big and Bold Mascara. First time I heard about this was actually through Virve's blog. I was looking for a new mascara and when I read about the Big Bold Mascara I just had to tried it out.

I absolutely fell in love with it. With only few strokes you can get almost false lash like an effect. It gives you longer and fuller looking lashes. It is truly super volumizing.

The brush itself is very big. Now, if you're not used to thick and big brushes you might need some practice in order to avoid mascara smudges. A good way to avoid smudging is by using the business card trick. 

The only problem with the mascara is that it's actually kinda hard to wash off. Even when you think you washed it properly you, wake up the next morning with dark circles around your eyes. But with a proper use of a good make up remover you should be just fine. 

My life before the Big Bold was all about Lancôme's Hypnôse Doll Eyes Mascara.

The cone shape of the brush gives you that cute lash fringe on your outer corner. It gives you clean application. With it it's easy to define even the little hard to reach corners on your eyes. Oh and it smells like roses (smell which always made my mornings a little bit more special :)). Unfortunately I ran out of this baby long time ago and found love in other places. But I would definitely recommend this mascara as well. Who knows, when I am in need for a good mascara, I might go back to my trusty Hypnôse :)
