NYX - Jumbo Pencil (Milk)

 NYX

Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk

By Beauty With Confidence


31st January 2014








Product Brand: NYX
Product Name: Jumbo Pencil (Eyeshadow Pencil)
Colour: Milk

This product is totally amazing! I have been using this product for a while now and it works great as an eye primer.  It has a creamy texture that once u apply you have to blend in with your fingers. It really enhances the colours of the eyeshadow you wear, even if the eyeshadow is quite crappy. It also works great as a highlight under your eyebrows. This product is suitable to all types of skin and is a total must have. It is very affordable and lasts quite long too.

This eyeshadow pencil has been a best seller for years. These jumbo eyeshadow pencil are the best creations from NYX. Whether you want to stay sweet and innocent or go sexy and smoky for the parties tonight, these pencils are a must have in your makeup bag.


What people think of this product?


"I have several of these but the one I use over and over again is Milk. It's the only one I really truly love, the rest are just ok. These are not long wearing and you'll need a primer below them and shadows on top. I've tried several other white bases and none are are creamy as Milk. It's also stickier allowing for the shadows to stick to for those shadows that lack pigmentation. 

When it comes to colored bases I prefer the ones that are longer wearing. 

Point of this review. Buy milk. It's awesome and will change your life. Best white pencil for an inner corner highlight."


"I purchased the pencil in milk and it makes a great eye shadow base. The product goes on with a thick, smooth, highly pigmented layer, which increases the color pay off and staying power of powder eye shadows. The pencil design is convenient and allows for easy application. I would recommend blending with your finger because it does not blend with brushes. I look forward to purchasing additional colors"

"I use the milk pencil as a base when I use light eyeshadows. It really helps the color come through better as opposed to putting the color directly on my eyelid. It's a great base, easy to apply, and lasts all day! Great purchase and I'm very happy with it"

Thalgo - Age Defence Sunscreen Cream

THALGO 
La Beaute Marine

By Beauty With Confidence 

30th January 2014

 



Product Brand: Thalgo

Product Name: Age Defence sunscreen Cream
Net Weight: 50ml
Description: Age Defence Sunscreen Cream SPF50+ - VERY HIGH PROTECTION



This brand is originally from France. This product is a face cream that contains very high SPF. It is not a typical sunscreen as it does not leave that typical whitish stain on your face after application - it blends in perfectly. I feel that it can be used as a day cream before going out everyday as it moisturises enough as well as contains the necessary SPF to protect your skin against the UV rays and smells very nice. Foundation can be worn on it and it will protect your skin just as good as worn on its own. 



My Personal Experience: 
This is one of my favourite products though it is a little expensive and out of my budget at times.



When I leave for work every morning I would always wear this one without fail even if the weather was bad. This is because my makeup finish tends to be better when I wear this cream.



Suitable for anyone above 18yrs. I personally think men can wear it too..



What other people think of this product?



"I love this product, it really does moisturise well and my skin is protected from the sun. I used this cream last year on a week long trek in the Sahara and didn't burn at all and it also lasts for ages, you really only need to apply a small amount, so you get your money's worth!!"

Avon Clearskin Blackhead Clearing Review


Product Review

  By Beauty With Confidence 

Date: 29th January 2014

Product Brand: Avon
Product Line: Clearskin
Product Name: Blackhead Clearing Cleanser
Net Weight: 125ml
Description: With Blackhead Clarifying Technology, cleanses skin to help maintain healthy looking complexion

Instruction of Use: Moisten face and neck, gently massage onto skin with gentle circular motions. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. May be used once daily.

Personal Views:

I started using this product since September 2013 when my aunt brought it back for me from the UK. I just finished the product today and I have completed 5 months of use. I don't use it daily as the instructions say, I use it only 3 to 4 times weekly after using my face mask or for exfoliation. I personally see that the product is quite harsh on the skin if used daily (it contains Salicylic Acid), however, it works great while cleaning the excess residue from a face mask. It makes my skin feel clean and also helps better in exfoliation as it contains some blue particles inside that acts as a scrub .



The product says that it helps the clearing off blackheads. Personally, I saw a difference on my face in the first week and instantly loved it. However, after that I did not see it continue doing its work.I am not sure if I will re-purchase
but globally the product is not bad and very affordable.


What people think of this product?



Title: Wicked clean skin !!!
Date: February 2, 2014



"I bought this only because it was on sale - I would not have tried it otherwise. (Avon, you're smart for offering deals on products!) Best facial cleanser I've ever used. Has some texture but is not gritty. Sort of "strips" all the dead cells and oils from my face without leaving it dry. Skin feels tighter, much smoother, and SUPER CLEAN afterward - like no other cleanser I've used before. I'm over 50 and not worried about blackheads. I'd recommend this product for anyone. (Note: I apply this gel without water and scrub hard by hand on a dry face, then rinse. I find it more effective than mixing with water first.)"

Title: Amazing!!!
Date:January 16, 2014

"I have suffered from horrible acne all my life and have tried every product on the market. This makes my skin look clear, refreshed, and have a radiant glow to it. It also has a clean refreshing sent!"

Title: Love it!!!
Date: August 16, 2013

"My face was sooooo soft the very first time I used this cleanser! I feel like my skin is getting very clean using this and alot of my blackheads and acne have went away. I absolutely love this face wash. It has little tiny beads in it and it's not too rough on your skin like other cleansers. I would really really recommend this product to everyone with blackheads or acne. :)"
