Holika Holika Glitter Nails Secret Blue / Glitter nail polish

Image
  Capacity: 10ml. Colour: Deep blue [cold tone] + deep dark green [cold tone]. It's texturised nail polish.   Midnight Violet                                         Secret Blue The glitter doesn't look flat or primitive. It contains colour and glitter combined together. There is no need to use any other additional colour nail polish as a base. Two coats are enough but I did three just because I am not great at painting my nails. The brush is easy to use I think it is a good brush. The nail polish is easy to apply (even for me). The consistency is quite thick but that what makes this glitter nail polish different from the others. It has enough glitter in it and enough colour. The glitter doesn't look cheap it looks solid. It looks gorgeous at any lighte...

Capacity: 10ml. Colour: Deep purple + Deep blue (warm undertone). It has a texture to it.  Midnight Violet                                         Secret Blue The swatch on my finger nail doesn't reveal the sparkles and all the beauty of this nail polish.

   Capacity: 10ml. Colour teal. I was searching for this glitter nail polish and I finally found it. It contains colour and glitter combined together. There is no need to use any other additional colour nail polish as a base. Two coats are enough but I did three just because I am not great at painting my nails. The brush is easy to use I think it is a good brush. The nail polish is easy to apply (even for me). The consistency is quite thick but that what makes this glitter nail polish different from the others. It has enough glitter in it and enough colour. The glitter doesn't look cheap it looks solid. The glitter looks even better in real life than on the photo. I couldn't help myself buying two more colours of this nail polish.

Faith In Nature 3 In 1 Facial Wipes Naturally Gentle Cleanse & Moisturise remove makeup

I bought them to refresh my oily skin from time to time when I stay at home or on a plain. The tissue itself feels not too soft not to harsh (more like a natural soft strong paper type). It has some texture to it what in my opinion helps to polish the skin and take away the residue properly. The tissues are enough moistened not too wet not too dry. There is no synthetic feeling afterwards. It leaves my skin feeling clean, fresh and hydrated (aloe). It doesn't make my skin feel oily or greasy. I think it is suitable for very sensitive skin [since I am using tretinoin cream this was the main reason I bought it]. It might give a slight burning sensation [for a second] but only when my skin is extremely sensitive. I haven't tried to take off my makeup with it cause I simply see no reason in doing that. I would have to use more than one tissue and I see it as a waist when I can simply wash my face.

Timotei pure normal to greasy hair / oily scalp / greasy hair / easy to comb shampoo / tangled hair

Image
The scents [unisex ] is quite strong [not natural], it could be less powerful but somehow I got used to it. I have thin and long hair and my scalp tend to get oily quite fast. I decided to try this shampoo cause got used to the previous one and I had to switch to something else. I have been using it for months now and I really like it. It makes my hair very easy to comb without making them heavy or oily. I could go several days straight without combing my hair and after a wash I am still able to comb them without pulling or ripping my hair. It saves time for me cause I don't have to use the conditioner or wait till it absorbs. I took it with me on vocations to save some space in my liquid bag [no need to bring along the conditioner]. After a day on a beach [wind / sand / salted water] my hair gets very tangled so this is another reason why I took it with me. The price is reasonable. The only thing I would like to mention is that this shampoo doesn't contain any nutrients ...

Cebra ethical skin care / vegan tooth soap natural / NOT tested on animals

You get 45g for around 9 pounds. It's good for travelling, it saves space in your liquid bag. It smells like natural soap and it tastes like soap. I didn't like it. I think that the formula needs a lot of improvement. I didn't want to brush my teeth with it but I only had this soap (while I was on vocation) and buying the traditional toothpaste with fluoride was not an option. So I kept using it hoping it will get better. Sometimes you need to get used to some natural products but it has never happened with this one. I left it barely used I didn't take it with me back home. My gums felt a bit irritated after using it.  It has no peppermint or other breath freshening ingredients. I am not going to purchase it again. It has a low cleaning performance.
