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.

Review: O.P.I Avojuice Creams

So a couple of days ago i was asked to a review of the O.P.I Avojuice creams, which made a little appearance in one of my previous post (you can check it out here) So here it is, I've got 3 creams but there are about 10 different types. Take a look
Sorry about the bad quality of this image, it's the best one i found on google.
The ones i own are mango, cran &  berry and jasmine. And basically i thought i would do this review based on 4 categories: smell, hydration,  thickness and price. You can find this creams in different sizes, there's this little ones i just showed you, which are perfect to carry around on your handbag, and a bigger one, which i think you should keep in your bathroom.

Let's begin with the categories
Smell: Cran & berry is definitely my favorite, the frangance of this one is just incredible, is the one i use the most. Jasmine has a flowery scent (of course) i really don't know how to describe it but the word that comes to my mind is soft, i feel like cran & berry has a more powerful odor. And lastly, Mango, I'm very sorry to tell you i don't really like this one, i mean if you have ever eaten a mango, the scent of this one is nothing like a mango, it reminds me more of a peach. Another thing i want to tell you is that even though they smell amazing, this doesn't last very long in your skin, when i use creams i want the fragrance of the cream to stay in my skin (do you understand what i mean?)

Hydration: In winter my hands are so dry, they even "break" sometimes because of the cold weather, so i always use this cream. As soon as i use it my hands are soft again, so i definitely recommend it if you have dry skin.

Thickness: This cream is very light, your skin will absorb it instantly and it doesn't give you that gooey finish that some creams give, like a body butter.

Price: So in my country the little ones cost like 2 dollars and the big one like 12 or something. i do have to tell you that some things in my country are double or even three times more expensive compared to other countries, so maybe it's cheaper in yours. For the little ones i think is a good price, but for the bigger one, i prefer spending a lit bit more money an buy a Victoria's Secret or maybe one from the body shop.

Here's a picture of the creams in my hand so you can the color and texture.

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.
