First Impression: essence #insta perfect liquid makeup

Published on by Anna Aurora5 Comments

Recently my Instagram is just full of new essence products(all the bloggers I follow are just obsessed with it) and one of those products was the #insta perfect liquid foundation. I got really curious, because I am loving the essence concealers right now and why not to try a new foundation? So I got and bought it . Here are my honest thoughts !

About the product : 

0476546-1The make-up in a practical drop-packaging ensures a matte and flawless complexion. The liquid texture is waterproof and the coverage is buildable drop-by-drop. Nine different shades can be mixed and matched to create the perfect colour for all skin types and are sure to make all

  • Waterproof make-up
  • Nine different shades to combine
  • Buildable for stronger coverage

 

My thoughts :

The Formula and Shade: 4,5/5

The shade is perfect for me( I have the shade 10 #cool porcelain ). I’m so happy to have found a foundation that matches my skin perfectly! The coverage is light to medium, but it’s very buildable so you could go to high coverage. I did try 2 different powders (on two different days logically) and I found that it does best with essence powder.

The packaging: 4/5 stars

The first thing you see how tiny the bottle is, but it’s 30 ml/1.01 fl.oz(the packaging says) the same as an average foundation bottle. I like how easy to take it with you anywhere you go, but I don’t think it will last for long.

Overall: 4/5 stars

Pros :

  • Lightweight
  • Perfect Colour match (for me)
  • Good Price
  • Compact packaging
  • Buildable coverage

Cons:

  • Works best with other essence products
  • Not wide color range

 I like it! It’s a pretty good foundation for the price. I hope essence will expend the color range soon .

Tell me in the comments, Have you tried this foundation ?

That’s it from me

giphy (36)Hello, my darlings! The summer ended and slowly we are going into autumn, it’s almost the end of the year and I haven’t talked about my update on  New Year Resolutions.  I had almost forgotten that I even wrote it all down, but thanks to some friends and my blog I had a very good reminder (here is the original post). Let me share how they all are going!

 

  • Be More Organised!

This is going pretty good(In my opinion). I found “To Do Lists” work the best for me to be on track and to do more. Sadly my planner got lost somewhere and now I use just a simple notebook.

  • Be kinder to myself and others 

I would say I’m doing really good with this one. Try to be calmer and kinder to others, but being kinder to myself is hard.

  • Work more!

In a way …Yes!I do help more around the house and in the business too. But of course, I could work even more.

giphy (32)

  • Eat Healthier

Ahhhh……I do eat a lot of fruits, does it counts? I would say that I need to work on it a little bit more.

giphy (33)

  • Be more active on Instagram

I am better with Instagram, but still, need to work a little bit harder. Sometimes I still forget to post anything for a week.

My Favorite Kpop songs of All Time!

Published on by Anna Aurora13 Comments

giphy (30)Kpop is taking over the world literally right now with all the new groups like BTS, Black Pink and Twice. So I thought it would be interesting to talk about some of my favorites Kpop songs of all times, as an “old school “Kpop fan I all of my favorite songs are at least 7 years old and I do remember when they came out and I was so excited (especially U-kiss comebacks where a big deal to me). It’s so funny to see people who made fun of me for liking Kpop and Jrock now jamming out to BTS. Times sure are changing!

Let’s start with fun part, the songs!

BigBang -Tonight

This is literally my favorite song ever,I remember the day it came out, it wasn’t the best day for me, but this did cheer me up so much and from that moment this song always cheers me up even on the “worst “days ever.

2ne1- Can’t Nobody

One of my first and favorite 2ne1 songs ever. It’s just such a badass song and I love it.

SS501-Love Ya

This one is just pure perfection…I love the everything about this song, the music, mood, lyrics .

Beast – Beautiful Night

I love this is such a great song to jam on a Friday night!

Brown Eyed Girls – Abracadabra

This is one of the legendary kpop dances. Everything about this is such a mood!

4minutes – What’s your name

Dancing Zombies?! Yes , please !I’m listening to this one while I’m writing (and casually singing along ). I really like 4Minute aesthetic, so sad they disbanded.

U-kiss- Dora Dora

Seriously couldn’t decide if to put this song on this lost or “Neverland“, both are just amazing. But I do like this song a little bit better.

T-ara – Roly Poly

The retro feeling in this song is strong and I just love the dance! And it’s catchy, we love a catchy song.

Girls Day – Twinkle Twinkle

Love the cutesie concept of this song. And the song is amazing!

Super Junior – Sorry Sorry

Do I even need to comment on a Super Junior song? Still, remember how I danced the “sorry sorry” part in the summer camp. So many memories…..

 

 

Tell me in the comments, What’s your favorite song right now? Why?

That’s it from me

Book review: Broken by Crystal Kaswell (Spoiler Free)

Published on by Anna Aurora2 Comments

giphy-downsized (1)Have you ever forgot something you did? Well, I apparently am very forgetful. Some time ago I did sign up for Crystal Kaswell ARC team. Didn’t know I was approved, but a week ago I got an email with the new book called Broken. It was a big (but very exciting) surprise. Let’s start with my spoiler-free review!

About the book :
I lost her once. I won't lose her again.

After my brother's death, I was drowning.
She was my life raft.
Delilah and I were opposites, the outspoken art student and the brooding athlete. She was passionate where I was apathetic, bright where I was dark, soft where I was hard.
For two years, we had everything. The kind of love that only exists in fairy tales.
Then she left and took my heart with her.
I tried to heal. To throw myself into medical school. To forget her.
I thought I did.
Until today.
Those blue eyes, that sweet smile, the soft curves--that's my Delilah.
As soon as I hear her laugh, I know.
She's what's missing from my life.

I have three days to get her back.
God, I hope I'm as charming as I used to be.


From the author: Broken is a standalone second chance romance full of heat, heart, and heartbreak. Come see why readers say "Crystal Kaswell is the master of writing sharp, wounded characters who keep you on your toes."
My thoughts!

From the first pages you can feel the love our main characters Delilah and Trent have for each other. It’s pretty rear for me to be so invested in a book relationship, but I was invested in this one….all the way! It was beautiful to see them reconnect again. I loved the writing style, it was a dual POV and it worked amazingly with this story. It does moves from Past and Present, I don’t like that usually but it did add so much to the story. Yes, there were some things that I didn’t like, it dragged a little bit in the middle, but it wasn’t critical. It was a very dark fairytale kind of story and I enjoyed it.

TRIGGER WARNING- It does touch on the subject of suicide.

I will give it

3,5/5 stars 

35-5-stars

It wasn’t perfect but I did love our couple and writing style!
