One of my favorite products of 2017, was definitely this highlighter by Becca Cosmetics, in collaboration with Jaclyn Hill. I’ve only had it in my hands for 2-3 months for the end of 2017, but it definitely won a place in the top 17. The shade is called C-Pop or Champagne pop as some people are calling it, and it’s a perfect rose-gold shimmery shade. I’ve been using it almost non-stop since the day I got it, and you can say it was love at first sight for me. Some people say that its glow is very intense, but I think it’s buildable. You can use it from day to night, and make it as intense as you like. It comes in a really nice round container, with a nice big mirror, which makes it perfect for travelling. Of course I took it with me to Athens last month; I simply couldn’t leave it behind. If you’re looking for a nice highlighter you should definitely check out this one!

Kat von D Alchemist Holographic palette review
The Kat von D Alchemist Holographic palette is one of the most beautiful palettes I’ve ever had the pleasure of owning. It has a gorgeous holographic packaging, the palette itself is triangle-shaped, and it has 4 pastel-colored highlighting powders in it. “Emerald” has a green hue, “Saphyre” has a blue hue, “Amethyst” has a violet hue, and “opal” has a pink hue. They’re all holographic and very pretty and all highly-pigmented. A light touch of your brush on them is going to give you extreme glow. That’s even good or bad, depending on how you’re doing your makeup and how much glow you want for it. For me, it’s definitely too much for everyday, so I’m keeping it for very special occasions. My favorite hue is definitely Opal, because it’s the most discreet one, that might give you a more natural glow. Mind you though, there’s nothing natural about these highlighters; the result is gonna be intense. Another thing I didn’t love about this palette, is the size of the pans. They’re tiny, like eyeshadow ones, so if you’re using them a lot, it’s gonna hit pan fast. That compared to the price of the palette is a bit discouraging. But if you love the colors and you love your bold highlighters, go for it. 😉

NYX 3-in-1 brow review
NYX’s 3-in-1 brow, is a product that combines a brow pencil, a brow filler and a brow mascara in one. I have mine in “brunette” and I really love how full and natural it makes my brows look. Step 1 is to use the pencil to draw in your brows. Step 2 is to fill the gaps on your brows with the filler. It has a sponge tip that is filled with eyeshadow, and helps you fill in your brows nicely and naturally. Step 3 is to comb and set your eyebrows with the cute little mascara, that also adds some color to them. It’s seriously one of the best brow products I’ve ever used, and compared to other brow mascaras I’ve used, this one actually adds color too. So if you’re in a hurry, or if you want to use just one of these products on your brows, you can definitely do it. If you use them all, you get natural but full brows that look and feel amazing. So I definitely recommend you try it!

L’Oreal Lip paint matte review
It’s been such a long time since I received and tried out this lip product, yet I realized, I haven’t written a review here on the blog. Mine is no. 207, Wuthering Purple, and it’s a really nice, bold and bright purple lip color. It’s very easy to apply by using its own applicator. You just need to add a few layers for it to look completely okay, but the color is amazing. However, I wouldn’t say that it’s matte, since it never completely dries, and stays quite creamy, but not exactly glossy. It doesn’t stay put for many hours, and since it’s not matte, it is unfortunately transferable, but that’s okay by me. It’s a color I used a lot during spring/summer and I love how it looks on me. There are some other shades available, so if you like it, check them out!

Avalon Organics Anti-dandruff conditioner review
I totally forgot to talk to you about this product. I bought the Avalon Organics Anti-dandruff conditioner a few months back from eVitamins, and I’ve been using it ever since. It’s a medicated anti-dandruff conditioner, which is vegan and contains no GMOs. It’s made of all organic ingredients, and sounded way too good not to try it out. I usually put my masks and conditioners only at the ends of my hair, but since this one is supposed to help with dandruff, and also relieve scalp dryness, itchiness and flakiness caused by dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis (my condition!), and even psoriasis, I thought it would be best to use it on all my hair. It has a very thick consistency, and it’s kind of difficult to cover your whole head of hair, especially if you have long hair. You have to shake well before using it, to get some ingredients to mix well and have the right consistency. It has a really intense smell, but it does leave your hair soft and flake-free if it’s used correctly. Try not to use A LOT of product (which is kind of difficult to avoid with this consistency), otherwise your hair will feel heavy afterwards, and become greasy sooner. Make sure to rinse well and get all the conditioner out of the hair. I don’t think I’ll be buying it again in the future, but it is a quite good product.
