Lancome 'Pro Secret' Brush Set (Limited Edition) Review

Happy Wednesday everyone,
Even though I'm a big fan of Lancome products, I have never tried any of Lancome brushes. So, few weeks ago, I was about to buy a foundation brush from Lancome when I saw this limited edition brush set and of course, I would not loose a chance to get 4 brushes for half price of what I would need to pay if I bought them each separately. 

This set includes all basics brushes every girl needs in her everyday makeup routine:

L'oreal Paris True Match Super-Blendable powder review

 Hi everyone, hope, you are having nice week so far. You may noticed, I mostly use high-end skincare and makeup products. The reason for that is that I have dry and sensitive skin, that can get irritate very easy and most of the drugstore beauty brands don't work for my skin. But other day, I was getting my L'oreal haircare products, when L'oreal makeup products caught my attention, and I decided to get this L'oreal paris True Match Super-Blendable powder.

5 things, beauty blogging taught me about beauty

 One of the best thing about blogging is that we get so mush information and learn so many things, it's just amazing. Today, I want to share with you 5 things I have learned last one year and I believe, blogging  was the main reason for that:

                   #1

Without blogging, I would not even know that there was such thing like an eye brow kit, (LoL), I'm not kidding. I was surprised, when I found out how many different kind of eyebrow kits are out there:

      

#2

I believe, I would not be able to learn about highlighting technique, if I was not blogging. Even now, I am not an expert at highlighting but I can definitely do better makeup for myself than a year ago.

#3

I realized how important it is to use eye and face serums  in everyday skincare routine. Before, I would not even bother myself to purchase them. 

                 

#4

I learned that a good primer can really make a difference in anyone's makeup look. Before, I would just use my day moisturizer with SPF factor, and then I would apply some liquid foundation and powder. Now, I always use a primer after my day moisturizer, before apply my liquid foundation. 

#5

I learned that not only quality of  makeup products matters but also the tools we use.

What have you learned from blogging , girls? Let me know in the comments below and have an amazing day.

Yves Saint Laurent ,Lancome, Elizabeth Arden powder comparison

 Happy Monday lovelies, I hope you all are doing great.  Last week was quite tough for me and as you noticed I couldn't even post normally. Things are little better now so I'm  back to blogging. Today I decided to compare my experience about these  Yves Saint Laurent Matt and Radiant, Lancome Translucence and Elizabeth Arden Flawless finish pressed powders:

What I learned after one year blogging

Happy Wednesday lovelies,

Today is a special day to me, because it's been one year after I started blogging. Yes, Nina's Style Blog is one year old.

I feel like it was yesterday when I set up my blog on Blogger and I had no idea  how to create and publish posts, how to add photos, and so on. I had not a single social media account, so my 

Google +, Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook accounts are only a few months old.

 Believe it or not, I have never been any blogger's follower, simply because I have never checked out any blogs. I didn't know, that I could see so many amazing blogposts daily (I know, it sounds silly LoL).
 So, what happened is that, I found out a few successful fashion bloggers' stories and I instantly got inspired.

Today, I decided to share with you what I learned last one year:

1. First thing I learned is that blogging can be really addictive.

2. Blogging community is one of the most supportive one, among any communities.

3. Blogging is not about yourself but about your readers/followers.

4. Blogging can make you a full-time employee of your blogging passion.

5. Blogging helps you find some hidden talents, in yourself. 

6. Blogging gives you many opportunities__ it's up to you how you will use them.

7. Blogging forces you to improve yourself in the field you are blogging.

8. Blogging will not let you feel lonely.



Here are top 5 most viewed posts in my blog's history: 

  1.     Black and white horizontal stripes

  2.     Nail colors, I'm loving this Spring

  3 .    Basics of successful blogging

  4.     Blue fashion 

  5.     How moving to USA has changed my style

Thank you again and have a wonderful day.

Lancome "Hypnose" sentiments

Hi everyone,

Today I want to show you one of my favorite perfumes , Lancome "Hypnose". I'm a big fan of Lancome fragrances since the day, when I first tried Lancome "Miracle" (you can see my post about that fragrance Here),  I have bought almost every fragrance from this amazing beauty brand and have repurchased most of them, for years.

Chloe, Donna Karan, Dolce&Gabbana travel size perfumes

 I love getting perfume samples in travel size. It's a great way to find our new signature scent without spending money. So when I got these Dolce&Gabbana 'Dolce', Donna Karan 'Cashmere Mist' and Chloe 'Love Story' perfumes in travel size , it was my chance to check them out and see if any of them would become my new favorite.

Who needs Estee Lauder Soft Clean Moisture Rich Foaming Cleanser

 I usually love to change my skincare products, time to time. So, when I finished Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Intensive Hydrating cleanser, I decided to give a try to another cleanser from Estee Lauder,  Soft Clean Moisture Rich Foaming cleanser, that was  3   times cheaper than than the Re-Nutrive one.

This cleanser is for dry skin. According to the product's label, "it helps preserve skin's moisture barrier. It includes soothing extracts of Passion Flower and Edelweiss."

 It is a very rich, creamy cleanser . It has a strong but pleasant scent, (but if fragrance is an issue for you , just take this in consideration, before decide to buy it.) It doesn't dry or irritate my sensitive skin and rinse off easily, with no residue at all.

 To be honest, I'm not a big fan of foaming cleansers, but once I rinse it off , my skin becomes soft and moisturized. I just love this feeling. 

 This Estee Lauder Moisture Rich foaming cleanser doesn't make my skin feel tight that is very important  to me, especially in winter, when my dry skin needs extra care.

 Will I repurchase this cleanser? __ Yes, I will, but only in winter. This is a really rich moisture cleanser, perfect for cold/dry weather, but probably, I will not bother to buy it in summer. 

So, if you have a dry skin and looking for some very moisturizing cleanser, that will clean your skin and moisturize, at the same time, you may want to give this cleanser a try.

Have you used this cleanser? Which cleanser is your must-have in Winter? Let me know in the comments below.

                                

                                          

Lancome Gift-with-purchase

Happy Wednesday everyone,

Did I tell you, how much I love gift-with-purchase? It doesn't matter how expensive the gift is, I just love the process of exploring the beauty/skincare products in my goody bag, once I get home.    

 Today I wanted to show you the gift set  that I got with my Lancome skincare purchase, a few days ago and I think they still have this Gift-with-purchase campaign , in case you would love to get this set.

So, this set included : Renergie Lift Multi-action Sunscreen SPF 15. I haven't tried this cream yet, so I can't wait to find out whether it will work for my skin or not.

Lancome "Renergie Lift Multi-Action Sunscreen

Visionnaire Advanced Skin Corrector and Bi-Facil Makeup Remover. I used to have them and I love both products, especially the makeup remover is my absolute favorite.

I also love this mascara, I use it with Lancome mascara base and it makes my lashes look amazing, but I haven't tried the lip gloss though.

And finally, my favorite blush. Love this shade. It looks very natural on the skin.

Hi everyone, How is your week so far?

Today I decided to share with you a short review of Estee Lauder Re-Nutrive Intensive Concealer Duo. I got this concealer in light/medium shades last week, and I was very excited about it. I have to say, that I love every product I have tried from Estee Lauder's Re-Nutrive line. So, I was quite sure, this concealer would not be an exception.
