It’s been a long time since I received this palette from Maybelline, and the truth is that I’m a little behind on my reviews here on the blog. I do review them on my Youtube channel, but I really want to also write posts for them here. So I’ll try to post reviews more often from now on. When I received the MasterBlush Color & highlighting kit, I wasn’t sure I was gonna use it much, but I ended up using it non-stop in the months that followed and I really loved it. The palette includes 3 shades of blushes and one highlighter. The blushes start from the lightest and go to the darkest. We have a peach one, a light pink one and a magenta one. You can use them all individually or you can combine them to create a more intense look. I use them all-together most of the time and do the “draping” technique where you contour and highlight your face using just blushes and a highlighter. The palette is also very practical and that’s why I also took it with me on my trip to The Netherlands. The blushes are quite pigmented, so you have to be careful about how much product you use. The highlighter is quite subtle and natural though, and that’s why I reach for it, even on days when I’m not using the blushes of the palette.

Maybelline Instant Anti-Age concealer review
This review is long due, and I really wanted to talk to you about this product. I actually hadn’t written a review in quite a while, that’s why, but I think it’s finally time to have a talk about it. You may have heard about Maybelline’s Instant Anti-Age concealer before, or you might know it as Instant Age-Rewind concealer, as it’s more well-known in other countries. We actually didn’t have it in Greece till a few months ago, when it was finally released, and I’ve heard so much about it, that I was dying to try it out. Thankfully Maybelline sent me one of the first ones to try and I can see why there’s been such a hype about it. It’s really light-weight, it conceals my dark circles perfectly, it doesn’t stay in the fine lines, but it stays put for hours, and doesn’t need any setting powder on it. It’s very easy to use, by twisting its body, and applying it with the sponge on top of the product, you get just the right amount. I also love the fact, that you can see how much product you have left, so you can buy another one before this one finishes. The only thing I would love, is if we had more shades of the product, available in Greece, because this Beige Nu, might be light enough to use, but it’s still darker than my skin, so when I’m using a lighter foundation, I can’t use this one. Other than that, it’s perfect. Have you tried it? What’s your opinion about it?

CND Vinylux Rhythm & Heat collection review
I have reviewed this collection in one of my videos, but I realized, that I haven’t done it on my blog where I also write in English. So let’s review the new Rhythm & Heat collection of CND. I received these nail polishes some time ago, and I tried them on in the next couple of weeks. Starting from left to right, the coral one is #244 Mambo Beat, and it’s the best one among the 3. You only need one coat to have a nice non-sheer color, but you have the perfect coverage with 2 layers. #245, Sugarcane is the next best one. However, you definitely need 2 coats of this for a full coverage, and non-sheer result. Finally, with #249 Shells in the Sand you definitely need 3 coats of nail polish to have the desirable result but the color does look perfect in the end. CND’s Vinylux top coat is a classic you must own. It makes your manicure last longer, makes your nails shinier, and helps your nail polish dry faster. Have you tried any of these? What’s your opinion?

CHI Silk infusion review
I’ve been using CHI’s silk infusion for months, but it occurred to me that I hadn’t done a review about it here on the blog, and I really should, because it’s an amazing product. It’s like a hair oil, but it’s colorless and more concentrated. It smells heavenly, and leaves your hair with a silky touch and a nice glow, especially if you straighten them. You can use it on wet or dry hair, and since you won’t be needing a lot of product each time, it’s gonna last you for a long time. I definitely recommend it, because I absolutely love it, and I’m sure you’ll love it too!

NYX lingerie liquid matte lipstick review – Teddy
I rarely do lip product reviews, but since I’ve received many questions about NYX’s Lingerie liquid matte lipsticks, I wanted to write my opinion. Mine is in the shade “Teddy” which is a very rich chocolate brown which I personally love. When you first apply it on your lips it’s very velvety, and easy to use, due to its flat brush. You don’t necessarily need to outline your lips, because you can do a very precise job with its brush. When it dries, it’s completely matte, almost non-transferable and long-lasting. If you have dry lips, you have to properly exfoliate and hydrate them before using it, because it’s gonna make your lips even drier. But if dry lips isn’t your problem, then you’re gonna love it. I personally love it, besides the fact that I have dry lips myself, and I’m actually flirting with a few more shades of the Lingerie line. Have you used this lip product?
