A'Pieu Pure Block Natural Daily Sun Cream SPF45/PA+++

I really needed a new sunscreen and I wanted something good to go under my makeup. I was deciding between a few Asian sunscreens but at the end, I ordered this A'Pieu one and I hope it's okay. I haven't tried it yet but I've heard really good reviews. I also got a tester of Etude House UV Double Cut Fresh Sun Gel SPF50+/PA++++ that I will also try.

The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Mattifying Toner
I used Lush's Tea Tree Water Toner and a few people recommended me to try this one from The Body Shop. This one is actually cheaper but I do pour the toner into the Lush's packaging because it has a spray cap and I feel that I don't use as much product. This one has a stronger scent and I heard it's supposed to be better, but for now, I didn't notice a difference on my skin.

The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil
I mostly bought this oil for my brother because he has some acne. He applies it on some bigger acne and it does help to dry them down. He has been using tea tree products and there was a major difference in his skin. I don't get pimples (except those tiny ones on my forehead) but one-day one did start to form on my cheek, I have no idea why and it did get rid of it. I would say this is a very good product to have for these types of occasions.

Essence Shine Last & Go! Gel Nail Polish 04 Millennial Pink and 16 Feme Fatal

I already have a review with swatches for these two shades. I love the formula, it lasts very long on my nails.

Bourjois Radiance Reveal Concealer 01 Ivory
I have tried the concealer a couple of times and I like it. It is a lightweight formula that's not very pigmented so it doesn't cover a lot. It does give a nice brightening effect and looks nice under the eyes. I also feel it doesn't look as dry as some of my other concealers. For now, I usually go for a higher coverage concealer because I need the coverage but I need to test this one better.

Catrice Kaviar Gauche LE Touch Up Brush
I didn't intend to buy this brush but then someone on Instagram mentioned that it's great quality, so I picked it up to have in my bag. I don't usually carry anything other than a lipstick/lip gloss in my bag but I thought that maybe it would be nice to have in summer to touch up. The bristles are super soft and the quality is great but the packaging is a bit weird. It doesn't stay closed. The lid stays on but the part that you push down for the brush to come out keeps sliding and doesn't stay in place.

Max Factor 2000 Calorie Mascara*
This mascara impressed me, you can layer it a lot and it won't stick your lashes together. It doesn't feel heavy on the lashes, it makes them black, defined, gives a bit of volume. I like it. I only have one problem sometimes, every now and then it smudges a little bit, so I'm not sure if this would be a mascara for summer.

Max Factor Creme Puff Pressed Powder 05 Translucent*
I tried this powder once and it's nice. I really like the scent, at first I thought it's sunscreen, but every time I smell it, it smells more like old school men's aftershave mixed with sunscreen.

Max Factor Color Elixir Lipstick 730 Flushed Fuchsia*
This was such a big and wonderful surprise. The lipstick has my name engraved on the cap and it was just the loveliest thing from the brand to do this for us bloggers. I got the shade Flushed Fuchsia and it's a coral pink shade but the finish is very frosty which I'm not a fan of, maybe I should try it as a lipstick topper but we will see. I actually went to the store to see if any other shade would be more suitable for me and they all looked frosty, except one or two shades, if I saw right, but I need to check one more time.

Avon Rare Flowers Night Orchid Eau de Parfum*
Avon sent us another perfume but this one is not my favourite. It's very strong, I tried it in my room and I could smell it for the whole day. I feel it's too strong for me, I get migraines and don't wear so much perfume anymore. When I haven't had a migraine for a while, then I start to use it more but once I get it again, I'm actually scared of using it. If you get migraines, you know what I'm talking about. I always use one spritz anyway and since this one is so strong I think I will give it away.

Avon Luminous Blush Rose*
This is such a gorgeous shade, a pretty mauve that looks good on any skin. I tried it a couple of times and it looks nice, I find it similar to my favourite shade ever from Trend It Up. The pigmentation is great and it seems to be longlasting.

Avon Golden Mushroom Sleep Mask*
Avon has some k-beauty products now. I was so surprised, I didn't know they were doing this. I haven't tried this mask yet. I'm trying a new face cream and I didn't want this to mess up my opinion. But I will test it soon.

Avon Jelly Kiss Lip Mask*
I haven't tried this one either, I'm kind of saving it.

Avon Cica Facial Sheet Mask*
The sheet fitted my face okay, it stuck well to my face and didn't it slide around. There was a lot of essence and the sheet was very soaked. It felt cooling on the skin, it also had a strong scent. I left it on for half an hour and even then the sheet was still soaking wet. The remaining essence sank into the skin quickly and left my skin a bit brighter but I didn't notice anything special.

Oriflame Colour Stylist Ultimate Lipstick Melted Caramel and So Blackberry*
I'm not sure how new these lipsticks are but Oriflame had a wheel in their catalogue to explain that every skin undertone has a few lipstick shades that should match that skin tone. I got sent two shades for my warm undertone and I have to say I really like them. The nude shade is lighter than my lips and I don't normally wear shades like that because they look weird on me but this one doesn't. The formula is creamy and comfortable but they don't seem to last long which is acceptable for a creamy formula.

Oriflame Love Nature Pampering Sesame Oil and Magnolia Shower Cream and Body Lotion*
This was Oriflame's Mother's Day gift for my mom, which totally surprised me and my mom. My mom doesn't use a lot of scented stuff because she has very sensitive skin, so most of the time these will probably be used by me. The scent is very floral and quite strong.

Avon Naturals Pink Grapefruit & Apricot Body Scrub*
Avon Senses Sunkissed Moments Pink Grapefruit & Apricot Moisturizing Shower Gel*
Both of these smell so amazing, like summer and fruits, just amazing. The body scrub is okay, it reminds me of Balea's, not too harsh, but it still has enough particles to exfoliate the skin. The shower gel is great, like all Avon's shower gels. I like the scent so much that I will probably order some products myself.

Avon Vitamin C Radiance Maximizing Serum*
I haven't tried this one yet but I have heard that it contains a lot of alcohol. We will see how it works, once I start to test it.

Oriflame A-Z BB Cream Natural
I have heard so many good things about Oriflame's bb creams. If I'm not mistaken, this is a new version or new packaging, I'm not sure. I have been testing it and I like it. It is lightweight, it has some coverage and it looks natural on the skin but it's probably not for oily skin. I will do a separate review on it.

Balea Calm Down Duschpeeling
I purchased a lot of these Balea peelings, every time in different scent/limited edition. This scent is perfect for me, it's a warm vanilla scent with orange hints. It's also not too sweet.

Thank you for reading!
