Victoria's Secret Fragrance Mist - Secret Charm Review

Hello!

Today I will be writing about a product from a very well known company called Victoria's secret. As a teenager I've always wanted their "oh so cute" packaged products, but my budget was very resticted and they were not avable in my country which is Slovenia.

One day, i went to Müller drugstore and I saw those "fragrance mists" or better to say "body sprays" and of course, since I recieved a gift card for my birthday I've decied for one of them. I choose the Secret Charm one, because the scent was quite light and fresh, great for summer. The price was I believe 12.99€.

If I'm honest, I've always been more a deodorant type of girl, because fragrances are quite expensive. If I only think about spending 100 eur on a frangrance, I freaking out. Yes, I love frangrances, I have few favourites, but I prefer spending my money elsewere.

Honestly, I bought the product just beause of the packaging and the smell on the piece of paper. Yes, I use it daily. Usually I take a shower, wipe myself down, and then I spray a bit of mist on me.

On the first smell I would say, that its smells like alcohol, but after few minutes, It's smells like roses. I also recieved few compliments from my co-workers. 

I think I will buy this product again in a different scent, because I like experimenting.

Have a lovely day,

Nastja

Review: Essence I Love Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara

I'm in love with mascaras. Even If i have a no makeup day (which is almost every day, since I have a new job), I will still put a bit of mascara on my eyelashes. My lashes are not very long and they are "curled" in a weird way that they seems almost invisible. I kinda wanted to try an Essence mascara, because I have not tried any of their new ones. In the past I had a great  mascara experience with their Multi action mascara (the black tube with green "stripes") and a very bad one with their first waterproof mascaras (I really don't remember the name of it).

So I went to our drugstore called "Muller" to check for some mascaras. I always check Essence's and Catrice's stands first. As you may know, Essence has quite a wide selection of mascaras (http://essence.eu/en/products/eyes/mascara.html). I picked up the I Love Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara. The price was around 3 EUR (2,99 or 3,19 EUR).

PACKAGING: Pink plastic tube, with black writing. It's kinda nice for the price. The brush is quite big with a lot of plastic/rubber bristels, even of the tip of the brush.

TEXTURE: Thick formula, not too wet. Doesn't clump. It's quite heavy after you apply 2-3 coats on your lashes. The colour is very black.

APPLICATION/REMOVAL/STAYING POWER: If you are used to bigger brushes is not a problem.
But I was used to smaller and skinnier brushes, because my eyes are small, so my first application was a mess. Now I'm used to it, and I'm fine with the brush. It curls my lashes and make them longer, without clumping them. It lasts on me the whole day, without smudging or flaking. At the end of the day I remove it with my L'oreal Micellar Solution in seconds.

INGREDIENTS: Aqua (Water), Synthetic Beeswax, Paraffin, Glyceryl Stearate, Acacia Senegal Gum, Butylene Glycol, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Wax, Stearic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Polybutene, VP/Eicosene Copolymer, Carnauba (Copernicia Cerifera) Wax, Aminomethyl Propanol, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Phenoxyethanol, Propylparaben, CI 77499 (Iron Oxides).

RATING: 4,5/5 (1-the worst/5-the best)

Essence Stay With Me Lipgloss 04 Trendsetter

Hey You!

Few months ago I bought this "stunningly" pigmented lipgloss, which should be long lasting in the shade 04 Trendsetter.

On the lipgloss is written:
-colouful lipgloss for glossy lips

And the desctription on the Essence website:
"the name of this lipgloss could not be more appropriate: if you try it once, you'll never want to give it up again! the color-intensive texture is so wonderfully creamy and durable – without leaving a sticky feeling behind, that it's simply irresistible. the special shape of the precision applicator allows an effortless application.
seven trendy colors are waiting to awaken those spring feelings and invite you to a creative styling session!"


My opinion:
-It's very pigmented and non sticky.
-It's not expensive (2,19 eur)
-Your face looks more colourful and WOW looking
- On my lips is not longlasting (averege lasting)
- The applicator is nice

Rating: 4/5 (1-the worst / 5-the best)

That's all for today:)
