Hi everyone,

Here I am with a new review of a product from the Korean brand Benton. I reviewed in July their new Cacao Moist and Mild Cream (here) and today it's all about their new sunscreen: the Papaya-S Sun Cream SPF50/ PA++++. For information, last month Benton released another sunscreen: the Papaya-D Sun Cream SPF38 / PA+++.  The "D" sunscreen is for "daily" use while the "S" sunscreen is best suited for outdoor activities ("S" stands for Sport).

Hi there,

A sheet mask review today on Nailderella - because I'm a sheet mask addict. I've posted a few sheet masks review on Instagram but not so much here but in the end, I thought it could be cool to have some sheet masks reviews on the blog, too!

So today I have a review of a sheet mask of the Korean brand "Wish Formula". If you're active on Instagram and like skincare products, you've probably seen their Bubble Peeling Pads. They are pads that start bubbling when you rub the face. I really want to try them! I'll probably pick some next time I order from Jolse.com.

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all spending a nice summer and that you have some free time to relax and recharge your batteries! 

In Switzerland, it's crazy hot at the moment so the perfect time of the year to unleash your inner Bronze Goddess :D

Healthy Snacks made easy is the motto of Hoppbox!

I was recently introduced to Hoppbox, a young company based in Geneva/Switzerland, that has decided to make healthy snacks and sell them in controlled portions. The snacks are healthy with fruits and nuts without compromising on taste! 

What about a new cleanser? and what about a super gorgeous cleansing oil that includes real petals flaoting in it?

L'Occitane has release a new luxurious cleansing oil in its Pivoine Sublime line. Let's have a look at it! In addition there are also 2 moisturizing masks available as unidoses that were launched at the same time and I have tried one of them.

Sparkles, glitters and gorgeous pigments! Who can say no, seriously?

Today I have a review of some goodies from The Saem! The Saem is a popular Korean brand but for some reason it's not as widely reviewed on international blogs as other similiarly famous Korean brands. So that's why I'm excited to share this review!

By the way, I got these shadows from Jolse.com. I'm one of their reviewers and could chose some products I wanted to review in their store. It's a store where I've bought tonnes of products for about 3 years so yes, they're reliable and you can shop safely with them.

I got 4 pigments from the Saem: The SAEM Eco Soul Pigment Shadows!

Hi everyone,

Here I am with nail polish swatches and it's all about summer and bright colors with the new neon collection of Essie called "Off the Wall"!

Hi everyone,

I've recently received a package from Jolse.com, my favorite store for Korean products, containing a cleansing balm from the brand Hope Girl.

Hope Girl is a new brand they carry. It seems to be quite a young brand as I haven't found many reviews on their products even on Korean blogs. The brand has mainly makeup products but also a few skincare products.

Hi everyone!

Today I have a very special blog post about the new Estée Lauder Pure Color Love lipsticks!

You know I'm a lipstick junkie and I love Estée Lauder lipsticks (see a breakdown of all EL Pure Color Envy lipsticks here) so you can imagine how excited I was when I received the complete collection of this new line! :D 

According to Estée Lauder, you can easily mix and match the different colors to create unique looks. 

Also according to my PR info, Naugthy-Nice, Strapless, Hi Voltage, Sky High, Sly Wink, Flash Chill, Rebel Glam, Moon Rock, Nova Noir, and Pocket Venus are limited edition, the other ones are permanent.

The Shimmer Peals are sheer/semi-sheer lipsticks with a high shine finish. Haute & Cold is more pigmented than the others. I wore 360 Flash Chill (it was the first one of the 30 lipsticks I wore to go to work) and 460 Ripped Raisin a couple of times and was rather impressed with their staying power. They lasted about 4-5 hours on my lips. They are super comfortable to wear  because they have a balm-like conistency. I think this finish is a perfect summer finish, it looks fresh and summery! 

I first thought that the ultra matte finish would be my favorite but I must say that I really really like these shimmery shades! 

The Edgy Creams are semi-opaque to opaque colors. You need 2 layers to get full coverage. They are creamy and therefore really comfortable. Again I was rather impressed with their staying power, 4-5 hours on me.

My favorites are 130 Strapless, 330 Wild Poppy, 340 Hot Rumor, and 450 Orchid Infinity. I've also enjoyed wearing 440 Hi-Voltage as gradient lips :D

The Ultra Mattes are seriously gorgeous. They have a velvety matte finish that looks super sophisticated. I just love them!

Among the nudes, my favorite is 110 Raw Sugar, it's the more brown of the 3 (110 Blasé Buff is more peach and 200 Proven Innocent is more pink). My other favorites are 320 Burning Love, 230 Juiced Up, 310 Bar Red (the most perfect matte red ever!), 120 Rose Excess, and 410 Love Object. 420 Up Beet (the darkest shade) looks a bit dry on me but it was the 16th lipstick I swatched so yes my lips were getting really dry. I've tried it in normal conditions and it looks fine.

Although they're matte, they are not drying. They are more creamy than Mac retro mattes for example. They last typically 6+hours on me, the nudes last less, something like 4-5h.

And finally the Cool Chromes are sheer colors packed with tiny glitters. The glitters are so small you can't feel them on the lips, they don't feel gritty at all and are therefore comfortable. 

370 Pocket Venus and 480 Nova Noir are wearable on their own. I particularly love Pocket Venus and it looks also awesome over a matte red (perfect xmas lips!) ;) I'm less convinced by 470 Moon Rock, I don't really like it on its own nor layered, but that's actually the only one on 30 lipsticks I wouldn't wear so not bad :D

So overall I really love these new Pure Color Love lipsticks. I think the 4 finishes are super comfortable and I love the range of colors available. There are many nudes in both the cream and matte formula. I also really like the shimmery shades, they're perfect for summer in my opinion. I'm also very happy with the darker shades in the matte finish!

The shape of the bullet is also very unique and I actually like it, it's easier to use than what I first thought! 

So I hope you enjoyed this post! Tell me if you have already bought some of them or which one is your favorite!
