Haul: Essence and TRESemmé

It's Wednesday! so this mean 2 things, first, it's blog post day! and second i didn't missed my own schedule! so i'm very happy about that. Today's post is about things that i recently bought (yup, guilty again hahah) and basically are for nails. I've already done a review about an essence product, which is a pen, you can check it out in my previous post. I really love essence products, they are cheap and really good, so they're definitely worth every penny. So i'm going to show you what i got

1.- It's a nail polish remover, i know that for some of you it isn't worth to mention, but i do have to tell you my experience, my mom doesn't care about nails at all, so she buys very cheap things therefore bad quality things, to be exact the nail polish remover that she buys cost 2 dollars, is the cheapest. When i used this on my nails, the were really damaged and it had a really strong smell. This nail polish remover is really good, i used just a little bit and it removed almost all the polish, and it has a really good smell. The best part is that it costs like 3,5 dollars. 2.- A nail art kit, it comes with a brush and some sponges to do the ombré effect on your nails, the brush is really thin to do some lines and if you put a little bit you can make some dots.

3.- Some nail Decorations, i've seen some really pretty nails with glitter and i love them, so i bought this to try them on my nails. I'm going to try this one. It's from an instagram account called loud and lavish. (i'll put all the link when i get home, because my internet here is really crappy hahaha)

  4.- Tweezers! i really needed a new one, and this one is really good, i can plug every single hair of my eyebrows. I realized they look like the tweezerman's tweezers. 5.- Eye shadow applicators, i didn't have any to be honest and since i was in the store and i bought some eye shadows, i just had to. Just a little bad thing, i felt like the eye shadow stayed in this rather than my lid. 6.- Eye shadows, so here's a little palette (i don't know if i can call it like that) as you can see I've already used it and it creates a beautiful smokey eye, which i'll show you in my next post. It's really pretty!

7.- Top coat, i read somewhere that this helps to prevent chipping, and this always happens to me! also it's a quick dry topcoat, so you just have to wait a few minutes and as you may know, i'm very clumsy, so this is perfect for me.

Also when i was at the supermaket i saw this, is a heat protector, and i read many times that TRESemmé is the best, so i had to try it. I always use my flat iron, so my hair is really damaged and in winter is worst, i blowdry it and then i use my flat iron. I've used this like twice and it's really good, my hair is softer, i love it!

So that's it, i hope you liked this week's post and i'm sorry if this post is up on thursday on your country, the internet here is really bad, on my last post it took me like an hour just to upload the photos. And today the service has been down for almost 2 hours, ugh! this what you get when you go to a small town here in chile. Love,

Review: Models own - Blueberry Muffin

So apparently I've failed my own schedule, good one meli, i'm sorry but yesterday it was the day i was going to the beach, that meant 5 hours of car traveling and let me tell you that i have traveling by car, it makes me feel very sick throughout the journey, like the feeling you have when you're about to vomit, that one, ugh i hate it. So yesterday was like a short day for me and also to be complete honest with you i forgot, i'm so sorry! i promise it won't happen again. Here's a selfie hahaha i was soooo bored while i was in the car.

So lets get into today's subject, models own  "blueberry muffin" nail polish. I was so excited when i ordered this, because in my country this weren't available and i really wanted some pastel nail polish, I've seen they're going to be on trend again for spring, but as in my country is currently summer i get to use them now, ha! This is a beautiful blue pastel polish and is part of the models own pastel collection, they have other 5 shades. When i was buying them, i forgot to search reviews of them online and i did that like the day after i bought it, and mostly everyone said that the formula wasn't very good and a bit patchy. I was hoping that this won't happen to me (silly me) and it did, sorta. i think once you know how to apply it you can achieve great results, so just give it a try!  What i decided to do for a demonstration, is that i'm going to show you every coat that a applied. Also i tried it with a white coat as a base, so you can check both out. First is just the polish applied.

Then here's with white polish as a base.

As you can see by the second coat my clumsiness had already arrived hahaha but you can fix this must my corrector pen (Is on one of the previous post). I think a prefer with a white base, i think the color stands out more. Also it says that is scented, and this totally amazed me, but sadly i couldn't smell anything. But you can scratch the top of the cap and smell it, it smells like candy. Anyway i think it's a gorgeous shade and  love blue so i'm happy with it.(p.s Blue is my favorite color) Here's a couple of pictures of the polish.

Well i hope you like this post and hopefully you can forgive me for my delay :) Leave a comment if you liked it and i have another one, so i can do the same with the other shade I've got. Love,

Review: Essence Studio Nails Pen

Hello there, so today I'm going to give you my review on two products I recently bought, one is a cuticle softener pen and the other one is a corrector pencil. I've been craving something to take care of my cuticles, so when I got into a store and I saw this and it was love at first sight, it was just what i was looking for and the best part its that it isn't expensive, it's like 5-6 dollars, which its a great price. So it looks like this

It says that it has apricot seed and jojoba oils, jojoba oils are great for nails because it makes them harder, and has other uses like makes your skin softer, gives volumes to your hair and I also read somewhere that it helps to prevent wrinkles. It also has some other wonderful oils like almond and avocado. And to top it off it has a amazing  lemon-ish scent. I have used this many times and I feel like my cuticles are way more soft and moisturized. To use it you just have to apply it in your cuticles, let it soak in for a few minutes and then you can push them back.

The next one this a polish corrector, it is used when a clumsy person like me paints the cuticles with nail polish, so all that you have to do is pass this pen through the areas that you want to remove and that's it! Very simple. So here's a photo that I took

It smell AMAZING because it has a cherry fragrance, and your nails will smell like that when you use it.

And you can use it several times because it has 3 replacements, which are located at the back of the pen.

I'm sorry for that white sticker that you can see, I forgot to take it off when I took the photos :(

I love it, it really works and you can get really good results. I have used it so much that I've already have one grey-black colored tip hahhah just look at it

Really dark hahahah

So this is my review, you can visit essence website here, they have a great variety of products related with makeup and I think they are really great and affordable. Please leave a comment about a product that you love. I hope to write very soon.

Nails

Hi, so this is my first blog post and I'm going to show you my few attempts of "nail art", I always get the ideas from youtube videos, so I'll link the videos from which i tried to copy the designs from, but in a really poor way hahahhah. So this was my first attempt, i got the idea from a channel called cutepolish. I absolutely LOVE her designs and they are really simple but look so cute!

So here's my kind of "version" of it, but a I think a failed a bit because my nails were short and I didn't have the studs that she put in the video which is this. But at least I tried hahahha. Also the polish didn't last much because the were a really cheap one, so lesson learned for me, even though some polishes are more expensive it is worth it sometimes, if you want it to last up to a week or more and take care of them! (which also it's hard for my as I'm super clumsy hahahha)

Also it look a bit weird because I edited it with instagram and I "accidentally" deleted the original.

This was another attempt, this time with better polishes as you can see, luckily I got this gorgeous O.P.I for Christmas, it is called "Number One Nemesis", I think it was part of the Spider-Man Collection. I did this for New Year as is super sparkly and I don't know why but it seem to me perfect for New Years Eve, and I love having one nail different to the other. A little advice on this polish, it took me like 3-4 coats to get this color and it's really hard to get it of your nails, so you better use a good polish remover.

 This is my recent attempt, I did it yesterday, i got the idea from a channel called HelloMaphie, she has amazing tutorials, you should check her out, this time I used China Glaze "white on white", for the blue one I used Flormar Neon N°15, which is kind of a deep blue, and the black was from Maybelline Colorama, and I cant remember the name but it was a simple black nail polish. Again as I didn't have the rhinestones that she used (which totally look better) I had to used a toothpick and tried to do my best at it. Also a great discovery for myself which has made my life so much easier is to use scotch tape to make the straights lines, it's so easy for people like me who don't have many skills hahaha. Also I have to mention that I changed some things because I could do it properly.

                                  

Well I hope you like my post, please leave a comment and I'll love to see your attempts and how you didn't failed like me hahaha. Also if you know a great youtuber let me know in the comments.

Love,
Meli ♡
