Product Review: Maybelline Nailpolish

I recently got a Maybelline Color Drama Nail Polish in the color 64 (I can't find a name on the bottle) so I decided to share my thoughts on it. 

This is the first time I've tried a Maybelline Nail Polish and I'm left with mixed feelings. I got it because I fell in love with the color which is a really pretty pink/magenta almost red color. I thought it was very unique and that's why I liked it so much. The thing I didn't like about it was that the application was kind of difficult because the brush wasn't very comfortable to use. I applied two coats which was more than enough to get the right color. What impressed me the most was the lasting power of this nail polish. It just lasted so much longer than other nail polishes I've tried. I didn't use a topcoat but it has lasted me a week with very minimal chipping so that's a big plus!

It looks a lot more red on camera than it really is :)

My Evening Skincare Routine

Today's blog post is about my evening skincare routine. I already did a post about my morning routine here.

The first thing I do is remove my makeup. I do that by washing my face with the Nivea Soothing Cleansing Mousse. It has a liquid consistency in the bottle but the product comes out as a light foam. It is a good cleanser but it doesn't remove eye makeup very well. I'm almost out of it and I probably won't repurchase it right away because I'm curious to try out some other products.

Next thing I do is remove my eye makeup with the Nivea Double Effect Eye Make-Up Remover. This is a very good makeup remover even for waterproof mascara. The only thing I don't like about it is that it comes in a very small bottle so I have to repurchase it quite often.

Lastly, I use the Clean&Clear Blackhead Clearing Cleanser. I'm completely in love with this product. If there is any dirt left on my skin, it completely takes care of it. I use it on a cotton pad on my face and neck. It has really helped me with blackheads and oiliness on my face.

My Morning Skincare Routine

Today's blogpost is about what I do in the morning to take care of my skin. I have combination skin so I try not to use products that are too drying or overly hydrating on my face.

The first thing I do, is cleanse my face with the Garnier Pure Exfo Brusher cleanser. I've been using this product for a couple of weeks and I still can't decide if it has helped my skin or not. I bought it because it has a brush which I thought would clean my skin better than using my hands only. The one thing I like for sure is that your face gets a nice massage while using this product.

That's everything I use in the morning to cleanse my skin. Next I just apply my eye cream and face moisturiser. For my eye area I use the Clinique Age Defense Eye Cream with SPF 20. I got a sample of this when I bought one of their mascaras. It is a very small sample but I have been using it for about a month already and I still have product left. I'm not impressed by this eye cream. I expected more from a high-end product so I won't be buying the full size. It is not bad but I haven't noticed a great effect on my skin.

On the rest of my face I use the Essentials Moisturising Day Cream by Oriflame. It is very inexpensive but I like it. It leaves the skin nice and soft and it absorbs very quickly into the skin. This is a big plus for me because I hate the feeling of something greasy on my face.

So that is my morning skincare routine. Next post will be about my evening skincare routine. Thanks for reading!
