L'oreal Professional Liss Extreme (Extremely smoothing) Shampoo
I think this shampoo is only available at salons or at stores like Sally beauty Supply. I got it at the salon, when my hair was extremely dry and unmanageable. I love its consistency, its very gentle on my hair and its smells good. Its a little expensive but I rather like to spend a little more and get a professional quality, cause I have tried drugstore brands such as VO5 and they gave me dandruff. Its worth the price.

Wet'n Wild Kohl Eyeliner
L'oréal Studio Go Create, very firm hold
I was so disappointed when I came back to France and realized they had stopped to sell Pantene products there! So I got this spray instead. It works really good to keep hair in place but the next day its like gone. The bottle is very small, so if you have long hair like me, it's gonna go pretty quick. Not the best deal but I haven't found anything else. I must mention that I don't like aerosol sprays, I only use spritzs.
DOP Shower Gel in Rose
The Body Shop Body Butter in Mango
This stuff smells sooo good! I purchased this body butter when I was in London, that's where I first discovered The Body Shop brand. The butters come in different smells, I want to get coconut and strawberry next time. It nourishes the skin and glides on so smooth, perfect for those with dry skins, or during the winter when the skin can get flaky.
Givenchy, Very Irresistible perfume
Dessert Treats, deliciously kissable fragrance in cupcake
Dessert Treats, deliciously kissable sugar shimmer in bubble gum
I got this powder off Ebay...hmmm I'm not sure about how long the person had it but it doesn't smell anything. The powder is very nice tho, a pink shimmery color that gives a nice glow to the skin, especially wonderful on special occasions, nights out ect...
I really like the packaging which is mostly pink, and it comes with a puff and a bow as holder. I think they discontinued the brand which is very sad, cause these products were delectable.

Smashbox Bronze Lights in Suntan Matte
I was looking for a matte bronzer for quite a while now and I heard about this one. I went to sephora and tried it on. What I love about it is the color "Suntan Matte" is very different from all the other bronzers I had seen before. It looks like a deep brown/taupe, so when applied on the skin it looks very natural. The other color available is "Sunkissed Matte" and like most bronzers, it is more of an orange color. It also have antioxidants which protect the skin. I love matte bronzers as they do not emphasize the flaws of the complexion like the shimmery ones. It cost like 30 Dollars but very worth it!
Sephora blush in 9M rose abricot
Lancôme Star Bronzer - Compact bronzing powder, lasting and comfortable, body and face SPF 8 in 01 Doré
I have got this bronzer for quite a while now. It is very luxurious, feels really nice on the skin, gives a nice healthy glow without looking cheap orangey. It got subtle gold shimmers in it and the smell is very pleasing. The packaging contains a mirror and it is a 25g or 0.882 OZ! It lasts a very long time!
Nars Blush in Orgasm
At first I wasn't really into that blush, but after a few try, I started to like it.
The color is a nice peachy-pink with gold shimmers. The shimmers are very subtles so it works even for oily skins.
The thing that I don't like about it is that it's not powdery enough. I tried to swatch it on my hand, but it's not swatchable lol, it's too dry.
I have to try the gloss or maybe the multiple but the last one is soo expensive!
I like to wear Orgasm for a night out, it's a little too pigmented for day time look, well, for my skintone anyway.

Ushuaïa deodorant in Vanilla
The smell of this is so nice! Its my favorite deodorant so far, I like roll ons better, I feel like the sticks doesn't work as good because they have a drier formula. It delivers a long lasting protection, with kind of a moisturizing liquid gel or maybe like a watery lotion that smells like vanilla.

Wet'n Wild lipstick Megacolors in Pink Suede 909B
M.A.C lipliner in Stripdown
Lovely nude color, kind of a brown beige-orangey. It looks really good with M.A.C lipstick in Myth. Now, I love neutral looks, and it doesn't really work for that kind of makeup, as it is a little too orangey. Nothing awful tho, I just personally don't like it for neutral, muted looks. I also feel like I have to sharpen it a little too often.
M.A.C Lipstick in Angel (Frost)
Burt's Bees • Lip Shimmer in Watermelon
I like the mint smell and the tingle feeling on lips, but the packaging is not good, it stopped rolling back in just after being used a couple of times only. "Watermelon" is a nice purple shade with no shimmer in it. The color doesn't work for me as it is too bright. Won't be buying again.

Maybelline • Dream Matte Pressed Powder
I gave a try to this product and I actually like it. It has a nice matte and lightweight finish. It is also oil free which is great for oily skin. I got it in "latte" a dark color. I like to choose darker shades that I apply with a light hand and blend well to give me a healthy look. The box contains a sponge and a mirror but the sponge isn't really of a good quality. I also like the way the packaging opens, it doesn't flip, instead you have to twist it to get it open.
M.A.C Lipstick in Myth (Satin)
I think it's the best nude lipstick color ever! I always have Myth with me wherever I go.
It belongs to the satin category but the formula is very thick.
For those with very fair skin, it might not be the one for you unless you apply a bronzer or a darker foundation, or a lipgloss on top. It looks awesome with a neutral or smokey eye look!
M.A.C Studio Fix Fluid Foundation
L'Oreal • Double Extension Beauty Tubes • Mascara
Yves Rocher • Luminelle Khol Pencil • Eyeliner
Sephora • Compact Foundation • Powder
Yves Rocher Yria Foundation or Yves Rocher • Yria Smoothing Foundation Lifting Effect
This foundation and the Luminelle khol eyeliner are my 2 favorites product from Yves Rocher. I
got it in "Porcelaine" which is for yellow undertone. The consistency is very watery so this
foundation is best used for a light coverage. Yves Rocher products can be bought online or at their store and they very often have 50% off on most cosmetics which makes them very affordable.

Jane • Shimmer Bronzer
I wanted to get a bronzer for the summer, and I found this one at Walgreens. It was cheap so I decided to give it a try. Well, the color is nice (I have Fiji) but way too shimmery, the glow is too much in my opinion. However, it got little squares of 3 different shades that you can also use as an eyeshadow.
L'Oreal • HIP Flawless Liquid Makeup
N.Y.C Pink sand Lipgloss
A great inexpensive lipgloss. Of course there are better lipglosses than this, but for the price I think it's really good. I got it in "pink sand" a very pretty nude peachy pink shade. No it doesn't smell good, but it's lasting power is good.
Max Factor • Pan-Cake • Foundation
I have to say I like this foundation because it has a very matte finish, very good for oily skin. It also delivers a lightweight and fresh feeling. The coverage is buildable, and the skin really looks flawless. Its not easy to apply because it dries out so fast but the "wet with sponge" application is fun! I wish they had more color available as I got it in the summer and I had a tan, all the colors were way too light.
Diamonds by Emporio Armani
I was at Sephora when I first smelled this perfume and was oohhhh I love that one!! at first it smells like the japanese liquor with its lychees, then tons of roses smell developp. I so love it but Im not sure I would purchase again, because the scent doesnt last on my skin, like an hour later theres no smell anymore! Not really worth it considering its price! I also think the bottle is very boring, it could have been a lot more sophisticated!
Agnes B. lipbalm in Camélia
As a lipcare product it could be better in my opinion. The texture is kind of thick but it gives the lips a pretty light milky pink color. For those of you who are sensitive to smell, this one is one of those lip products who smells like plastic. Overall, I like this lipbalm, mainly for its nice pink color.
M.A.C Eyeshadow in Sketch (Velvet)
M.A.C Select Sheer Pressed Powder NW43
Nars Turkish Delight/Sayonara duo lipgloss/lipstain
I have to say that I absolutely love Turkish Delight, its a beautiful and very flattering milky shade of pink. Sayonara is way too dark and pigmented for my liking. However it's a pretty color and would work great with a natural look on the eyes.
It has a good lasting power, as long as you don't eat or drink anything! Its smell could have been better too, but its not strong, so it doesn't bother me.
