How to: Eyeliner | Benefit They're Real Push-Up Liner

Friday, 4 September 2015
If I dedicate an entire blog post to a beauty item, is because I really love it. I'm sure you know the Benefit They're Real! Push-Up Liner because it's been reviewed quite a lot now. 
A lovely girl from Sephora did my make up, awhile ago, and she used this eyeliner on my eyes - needless to say that I instantly fell in love with it. But, there were a few things that held me back from buying it: 
  • The price. It's - Expensive. But, as luck would have it, they sell a smaller version of it of 0.36g for 11.90€, so you can try it out and see if you like it, before investing money on the full size;
  • I read reviews of people complaining about the application: the applicator is made out of rubber and you have to twist the bottom up, in order to release the product (you'll see in the pictures below), so, some people, may find it tricky to apply;
  • Some say it melts on eyelids when it's hot. I disagree - wait 'til the end of the post to find out why.

Like Gold I

Wednesday, 2 September 2015
Whilst I was visiting my family, I had the pleasure to photograph some amazing sunsets. I really miss this terrance and the view.

Snapshots of Life III

Saturday, 29 August 2015
Hello! I'm back. Kind of. My laptop keeps dying and then resuscitates and then dies again and... I need a new laptop.
Anyway, these are the photos I took whilst I was visiting my family, in South Italy. I had a great week and I can't wait to go back there, next summer.

Alluring Rose
The shades are six, but I picked up the ones I liked the most - and my favorite is Seductive Pink.
Other than the fact that they're gorgeous, they're also valid as products: highly pigmented and long-lasting. Really long-lasting, I'm talking about 8-9 hours. I've been looking for these blushes for ages, and when I finally found them, I could not buy just one of them. These are the Max Factor Creme Puff blushes in 'Seductive Pink', 'Alluring Rose' and 'Lavish Mauve'.
