DIY Avocado Face Mask (with natural ingredients)

DIY Avocado Face Mask (with natural ingredients)

by Rosalie

Hi Lovelies,
long time no see.  I am sorry that I havent showen up so much lately but I was really busy. Maybe also the long wintertime made me be a bit lazy, too haha... who knows! ;)

But now spring is starting and I am really excited about planting and having my own growen vegetables and stuff soon. With this enthusiasm and my leftover avocado I decided to do a diy avocado face mask, also as recipe just for you! <3

I love eating avocado for breakfast but sometimes there are leftovers that couldn't be eaten. So I decided I will use it as mask instead of only throwing it away. (I guess I am not the only person with this problem, let me know if you have this problem from time to time, too.)



So for the recipe, you need ingredients that you mostly have at home anyway.
You need:

-avocado leftover
-honey
-milk
-fork or spoon
-small bowl


So at first I putted the avocado into a small bowl and tried to mash it up so that there is kind of a creamy consistency. Next I added one tablespoon of honey and also one tablespoon of milk. The honey helps to let the mask stay on your face but also addes more moisture. The milk makes the mask more creamy. You need to be carefull with the amount. If you havent so much avocado then use less milk, because the mask can become to much liquid. Give everything a good mix and the mask is done.

this is how the finnished mask looks like

Before you apply the mask you need to clean your face (as usual before you put on a mask) and your hands. After I applyed the mixture with my fingers onto my skin and massaged it into it. I have to say that the amount of mask was nearly to much for my face, so you see you don't need much avocado. After the mask is evenly applyed onto my face I left it on for 20 minutes. Just at the beginning I could feel the cooling effect of the mask. This is really great for hot springdays or summer. 

Me with the mask onto my face, after 20 min on. I kind of look like an alien to strangers. lol

Also the mask didn't dropped of from my face. After the 20 minutes the mask was kind of soaked into my skin. I massaged the leftover mask into my face and washed it of with lukewarm water. If you love the smell of avocado this is also amazing for you. All the time I made the mask and had it onto my face it smelled amazingly like fresh avocado. yummi! <3

I had no skintroubles after the mask and my skin feeled really clean and nice but not dry.
So I think this is a nice opportunity for not throwing away the leftover.


I hope you like this kind of recipe, if you want more mask recipes like this please let me know.

[JOLSE] HOPE GIRL HONEY BEE ALL DAY FIXING MIST

[JOLSE] HOPE GIRL HONEY BEE ALL DAY FIXING MIST

by Rosalie

 

Hi Lovelies,
I struggle these days. I am a bit (tbh more than just a bit) unhappy and feeling lonely. So Violetta and me, we are thinking about adopting a cat. We are not sure because our appartment isn't the biggest and on weekend we often visit our family, and the cat would be a problem to handle. But I love cat's. They make my heart warm and adopting might help the cute cat from always living in an animal shelter. I DONT KNOW: I really would be happy to hear you oppinion about this topic. Please, should we get a cat or not??? 


Haha, anyway, lets talk about korean beauty! ;D
Today I want to write about the Honey Bee All Day Fixing Mist from the korean brand "Hope Girl".
I wrote about the moisturizing cream from the same line earlyer, I really liked the product. So I thought this product might be really good for my skin as well.

BRAND: HOPE GIRL

PRICE: $15

WHERE TO BUY (klick for the link)

TYPE OF PRODUCT: FIXING MIST

VOLUME: 80 ml

I got this product from jolse.com.

The product design is again cute and mostly inspired by honeycomb. It feels like high quality and easy to use. 

So using it is pretty simple. Just apply your makeup and after you are done you can shake the bottle and spray some mist onto your skin. The product itself should fix the makeup you have applyed for longer lasting and all day long fresh makeup. 

As I have used it how the description said I couldn't really see a difference. Of course the product is nice smelling, but to get some mist out of the bottle I have to spray really like 10 times (wich I think is a bit much...). The mositurizing effect wasn't noticable for me.
But if at least the makeup will stay longer I thought it will be ok to use it anyway. 

unshaked the liquid looks like water

how the mist looks like when you shake it, you need to shake it before you spray it onto your skin

In the following you can see different products on mine and Violettas arms, with and without the fixing mist.
We washed the products off, first with water and secound with soap. Just to see the differences in dissapearing. But to be honest, there was no difference.
So I could't feel the difference on my face and in the exact test there was also no difference.
So if you are asking me this product really does nothing tomy face. I was feeling like I get some pimples while I was using this product, can this be??

unwashed

washed with water

washed with soap

I also used the mist without makeup, just to see if there is any moisturizing effect or anything. But really, there was nothing. Just dissapearing mist on my skin. It could be water that I spray onto my face, not a expencive product.


advantages:
-nice smell
-cute design

dissadvantages:
-no fixing effect
-no mositurizing effect
-must spray many times to get something out of the bottle


So all in all the product is useless for me. I am really sad to say this, but I also want to let you know about products I dont like to use.


I hope this review was helpfull for you.

If you still have any questions please feel free to ask me. <3

Etude House "Play Color Eyes - Beach Party"

Etude House "Play Color Eyes - Beach Party"

by Rosalie

 

 

 

Hi Lovelies,
I was struggeling for a long time if I should buy this product or not, but finally I bought it: the Etude House "Play Color Eyes -Beach Party" eyeshadow palette. The colors, OMG!!! Really, so amazing! That was the main reason for me why I wanted to try this palette out. (I guess you can call me crazy or something! haha but sorry we all have some things we cant resist to get.) 

Ok, when the korean brand Etude House release a new eyeshadow palette I always have an eye on that. But all the time I say to myself "No! Don't buy it, you already have so much eyeshadow!" haha, anyway... While they released some natural looking colors or more colorfull ones, but this palette has some natural colors but the most exiting parts are the blue, green and purple colors. *__* The colors are originally for summer time but I think that the colors also look good in winter, also because of the cold tone.

BRAND: ETUDE HOUSE

PRICE: $27

VOLUME: 10 COLORS

TYPE OF PRODUCT: EYE SHADOW PALETTE

I ordered this product at the Etude House Global Store, but as soon as the palette arrived at my house they removed it from there onlineshop, so I am not really able to tell you where you can buy this product, sorry.

The palette itself comes in a matte optic in turqoise and pink. In the palette you can find a mirror wich is as big as the top of the palette, and there are two brushes with different sides as well. (I always love when the product I use comes with the brush for it, so I am always right in using it for the application.) Also they name the colors in such a sweet way it's amazing! <3

In the palette there are 10 different colors, in matte, glitter and shimmer optic. The natural colors are really nice tough but the most catching thing are the colorfull colors (as I mentioned in the beginning.).

in the following you can see the swatches. Please enjoy them! <3

eye without anything

"High Tide" - really nice base color

"Sunset Beach" - really glittery

"Like A Mermaid" - this color is so amazingly pigmented. But it's a special color and I guess I still need to find a nice way to use this color on my eyes for a decent look.

"Starfish On Rock" - this is my favourite color in this palette because it looks like a mystical but sweet color. I use it as I use light pink colours. *__* It is also really beautyfull as blusher!

"Surfing Point" - nice for shadowing on "Starfish On Rock"

"Cave Shade" - a sweet brown but glittery color, I finaly have a  eyeshadow palette with a nice color for my eyebrows, too.

"Wet & Wild" - nonglittery warm brown color.

"Sand Castle" - I thought this color might be a bit darker but it is really nice to use on aegyosal!!

"Cocktail Shot" - this is nearly a black tone, a really darnk brown though. I also love to use it decent on my eyebrows.

"Cool Dive" - You may not see the blue sparkles in this color. It is really beautyfull but also really pigmented.

The colors are all really pigmented, but I thought that "Starfish On Rock" (The light purple) would be much more intensive as it is. But It's not so bad that this color looks more like a burgundy, because this turned out to be my favourite color! <3

So all I can say about this palette is, that it came with some special and extraordinary colors. This is really amazing for me and they look amazing. They are really nice in combination and I have created some nice eyelooks with a colortouch but it was also looking sweet and charming. I guess the best solution in eyecolours is to use them as a highlight element, one color only. I wouldn't combine the green and the purple, I think this would be to much but a nice look with the green or purple only is really amazing in my opinion. *__*

I hope this review was helpfull for you. If you still have questions please feel free to ask me.

Elizavecca Silky Creamy Donkey Steam Moisture Milky Cream

Elizavecca Silky Creamy Donkey Steam Moisture Milky Cream

by Rosalie 

 

Hi Lovelies,
the days are getting colder now. I love how the trees look right now, like everywhere these pretty colours! <3 But I also miss the flowers already. You can't get everything at once I guess. but in this season it get's more important again to moisturize your skin.

And that's why I wanted to introduce you to my current moisturizer. I just came to try some products from the korean brand "Elizavecca", wich was kind of unknown (for me) but has some nice products, tough. If you know some great products from this brand please let me know, I wanna try them! <333 :3

BRAND: ELIZAVECCA

VOLUME: 100ml

PRICE: $15

TYPE OF PRODUCT: MOISTURIZING CREAM

 

WHERE TO BUY (click for link) 

I bougth this product at jolse.com. 

The product came with a spoon (wich I currently lost somewhere haha sry. this always happen to me!....) to get the cream out of the bottle. The bottle itself is made out of glass, wich is really interesting and estetic as well. But also the material make the product kind of heavy, like if I want to take the product with me on a travel it might be troublesome. But I personally don't travel so much, so it''s no problem for me! :)

The cream itself is kind of hard, not so much liquidy. This makes it kind of difficoult for me to put the best amount of product out of the bottle. (With the spoon it might be easyer haha). The scent is really awesome. A bit like baby powder or cotton. But also really clear. I like it! 

Applying the cream can be troublesome because the cream isn't so liquidy. I have to se some strengh to get it all over my skin. It's not as it hurts to apply it, but it is a difference to other moisturizer that I have used so far. Also the cream left a really heavy moisture feeling on my skin. Now I only use it before I go to bed, so it's ok, but I think using it in the morning under my make up would be to heavy. Please remember I have oily skin, so that's maybe kind of a reason for this. If you have really dry skin this cream really can put some strong moisture to your face.

So to summerize I can say the moisturizer does a good job in sense of moisturizing (like it should do a good job haha its  a MOISTURIZER!!) but in applying I have some kind of problems. Not to bad problems but I think you should know this to learn more about this product! ;)

So I hope this review was helpfull for you. If you have some questions please feel free to ask! <3
