RT Deep Cleansing Gel, Lee Stafford & Penneys!

Hello people!!

This time I bring you a full review/demo on the Real Techniques Deep Cleansing Gel. I was super hesitant to even buy it as I read super bad comments about it, and... well I decided to finally try it and find out if it was as bad as people say it is. Needless to say that I think some people overreacted by saying is bad or "ok". I think is grand, does the job and has a lovely scent, leaving the brushes, either natural bristles or synthetic, feeling soft and CLEAN.

Here is the packaging:


Typical  RT packaging in a plastic box (which was a pain to open)

Comes very well sealed, but makes it difficult to open. Other than that is ok!

Here are the brushes that I washed,

BEFORE



AFTER


All nice and clean! Also smelling divine ;)

So, in general is a good product for cleaning your brushes, it retails for 9/10 euros in most pharmacies.


The other product I will try is this Lee Stafford treatment for "Hair That Never Grows Past Certain Length"


Is a very thick cream, lovely smell. It claims to help your hair grow stimulating the follicle, so the growing process accelerates. I have read that after 1 month and a half the results are visible. So we will have to wait!! But I am super excited about it! :D It retails in Boots for 11 euros :)



And last but not least, I got lovely tumblers for my makeup brushes!! :D I am so happy with them, they are super cute and cheap! Is a box with 4 tumblers, with different colours, and big enough to hold the large brushes very well. I got then in Penney's (Primark) for 6 euros (the pack of 4) and I couldn't be happier with the purchase! Here some pictures of how the makeup brushes look in them!




Very cute!! 

Well, that's all for today! Don't forget to check my video for the full demo and details, here is the link: https://youtu.be/ZR-XICB0vAY

Thank you very much for visiting and see you next Tuesday!

I'M BACK! Moving out, news and reviews!

Hello people!

I'm back!! Wow I actually didn't realize for how long i left this blog unattended!! I feel so embarrassed. I got married, moved from Mexico to Ireland and I am still trying to let the dust set down because hectic is not even close as to what my life has been in the last couple of  months/years. But thankfully I now have more time to properly do reviews and give this blog the love it deserves. To all of you that have stayed with me along the years (even with the lack of activity) thank you very much, sincerely! As for the videos I will be posting them every Tuesday and as for my blog I will try to at least make two posts a week. 

 Anyway! Back to business, I did a little review of two products:

"Undress your Skin" Shimmering Highlighter by "MUA Cosmetics":

 Pale Shimmering Golden that sits very good on the skin, buildable and nice texture. Shimmering but no glitter in it. Perfect for all skin tones yet fits better a medium to dark skin,




"Showgirl Extra Lengthening Mascara" by Barry M



Waterproof mascara with plastic bristles, gives length and the blackness that it claims. I would definitely recommend this for those that don't struggle with super straight lashes and difficult to curl, as it takes about 3 coats to get a good result. But overall a great mascara.

Check my video for full details!!



Thank you very much and don't forget to visit my blog and my YouTube Channel for more reviews, makeup tutorials and randomness!!

Love,
~Dana.
