Review: Catrice eye shadow base

Hey there,


Its been long-time no see, well today I'm doing a review on Catrice's eye shadow base (as you've may of seen in the title).



For those of you who don't know Catrice is a German brand (Essence's sister), low-cost but with a lovely quality.


It is about 4€ and it brings 2.1 ml of product. It is shimmery, and I personally think it is an improved version of UDPP.


Reason why I think its better:
  • It has colour to it, which conceals your eyelids and makes veining disappear
  • It works better, creasing disappears and your eyeshadow lasts more
  • It has a way better colour pay-off.
Do I recommend this?: Yes

Would I buy it again?: Definetly


Have a wonderful day :)


xoxo

Haul

Hello,

So November 1st there is no school in Spain (ooh Spain don't I love you) so i went shopping, I bought some pieces of clothing, (and maybe JUST maybe I do a haul on that), but for now I'm going to show you what I got.


Let's get on with this

From korres I got an eye cream (the day one with avocado), I really like it and its really moisturizing, and they also gave me three samples of the oil-free skin care line.

From the drugstore I got 4 nail polishes called (from left to right) From dusk till dawn, London's weather forecast, Sir, yes, Sir! and Jumpin' Jade. The three first are from Catrice and the fourth from Sally Hansen, my personal fav is the Sally hansen one, you'll be seeing it in NOTD.

I also bought two things from Benefit which I had been dying to try those things are Posietint and Dandelion

While I was walking around I saw this store called Parfois so I actually ended up buying a watch, It has a gorgeous detailing and the strap is green which in my opinion makes it much more original.


And last, but definetly not least I bought a new case for my BB, one of my friends had it  but she bought it in summer so when I saw this I went like ooooh, and I bought it.

Thanks for reading
And If you have any request please comment!!!

XOXO

Definetly read: The Maze Runner

Hello,

So since everyone was raving about The maze runner by James Dashner, I decided to get a sample, and guess what.....I feel in love with it.

I read this book in three days, and I seriously think its the best book ever. I like the way the author makes you get ''addicted'' to the book. I must say I am Starting the Scorch trials (the secod book of the trilogy) and I'm kinda ''scared'' that James Dashner can keep up the intrigue, but don't worry there WILL be another post about it.

The story is about this boy called Thomas, he arrives to this place (he doesn't know where he is), with only one memory, his name.
He and other boys have to figure out of the maze, but their lifes are in danger because out in the maze there are this monsters called Grievers that kill you if you dont take a medicine in time, but the Gladers live in the Glade (ya get tha name?) but at night the walls close and if you're out in the maze the grievers will kill you.

I love this book, I SERIOUSLY recommended

XOXO

Definetly read: First Love

Hello,

Today I will be talking to you about a book I read for school called First Love by Ivan Turgueniev. When I looked at the back of the book it said ''Turqueniev describes human passion like no other'' I was kinda not really convinced, since my last book fail, the scorch trials (its really not interesting) but I became really into this book when I first started reading it. Its kinda short, the version I read is 126 pages, which is not much when a book is so addicting.

Summary: It all starts in a party when the main character (Vladimir) has to tell the story of his first love. Two weeks later he hands in a book were he  tells his story.

Vladimir at the time is 16 and he goes to spend the summer to his country-side house, there he meets Princess Zenaida Alexandrovna, whom he madly falls in love with. There are 4 other man with her, which are also in love with her.

Personal opinion: I'm truly devating on whether I love this book or I hate it, Its so amazing all the way but the ending is really sad (I cried and its the first time ever I've cried with a book) and I got mad with the ending, but it describes human passion so well its lilke your Vladimir  and its like you could capture  the essence and the beauty of the words and send them to your heart.

If you've read this book  please comment, if you haven't I would definetly reccomend it to you.

Thanks :)



Byee :)

October faves :)


Hello,
I will be sharing today with you my faves, for the beauty part they are:
  • Mac blush in Well dressed: It's absolutley gorgeous, it's gives you a nice colour and it also doesn't have a bunch of shimmer, which makes this blush PERFECT.
  •  L'oreal lash architect 4D: My Review of it
  • Garnier BB cream: I also have a review on it
  • UD Perversion eye liner: I love this because it stays on my tighline like nobody's business.
  • MUFE eyeliner in 5L: As I have brown ayes and this is an olive dark-green color  looks amazing in my eyes along the top and lower lash-line.
  • Rimmel Stay Glossy lipgloss in 160 stay my rose: Even thought it seems a different color in the photo its a beautiful rosey color, this makes my lips really mousturized and shiny with a really good color pay-off.
  • H&M Body Lotion: It's from the hello kitty collection and its in the scent sweet berries, it's very moisturizing and I LOVE :) the scent
For the personal part:
  • Tv show: Downton abbey is so catchy and I just wish each season would be more than 8 episodes long.
  • Actor: Damian Mcginty, I first saw him on the glee project this summer (I'm also a big fan of glee) and I fell in ''love'' with him, he has a great voice and he's also REALLY REALLY REALLY HANDSOME, (and its worth repeating)
  • Song: I have been loving Speak now album by Taylor Swift, I love every song in that CD. I have also been loving the Glee version of turning tables, don't misunderestand me I love Adele but I prefer Gwyneth Paltrow's voice in this song.
  • Object: I've had Two my Ipad, and my cupcake blankie from Primark its soo warm
  • Food/drink: I've been drinking quite a lot the herbal infusion (the one with apple and cinnamon) from hornimans.
Have an absolutley fantastic November :)

XOXO

Andrea
