Colgate MaxWhite One Review

Whaduupp y'all! How are you guys doing? Well I'm fine, just to let you know! ;-) But let's get to the point. Today I'm reviewing the new Colgate line ( see : http://itsmefarhaa.blogspot.nl/2012/11/just-in-colgate-maxwhite-one.html ).

Let's start!

Colgate promises that within a week, your teeth will be one shade whiter. So below you see pictures of all of the new products!

What I think of the products? Okay, so I have been using the toothbrush, toothpaste, and mouthwash for a week now. It really does make your teeth whiter, but for me it was just that first layer of yellowness on your teeth which it removed.

I think if you have to use it a little longer, your teeth will be much whiter. Also I loved that after brushing your teeth and using the mouthwash, your mouth really smells fresh. I have been using Aquafresh my entire life. And now that I tried the new Colgate line I really am considering using Colgate instead of Aquafresh.

All and all, I really loved these products. It really does make your teeth whiter, but to really see that, I'll just have to use it a little longer!

Prizes? The toothbrush is €3,79, the mouthwash is €6,49 and the toothpaste is €3,99.

Love,

Mavala - Aquamarine. NOTD + Review

Hello everyone! Told you guys I was going to be full time! Yesterday was an exception, because there were some things going on. Which I'm not going to tell you about, because it's private.


Anyway, today I wanna show you guys(and girls of course, LOL) an nail polish by an awesome brand. Mavala. Yes, Mavala. Ever heard of it? I did certainly not. So my friend swears by it, and she either uses mavala or OPI. And you know as an beauty blogger, I was curious. I wanted to swatch and test it. And I bought one. I've been searching for a long time now for minty nailpolishes. And I think this was close. 


The nailpolish: 


The Nailpolish. I honestly have nothing to say either than that it applies smoothly, dries quick. And the pigmentation isn't that bad either. In other words: I LOVE THIS NAILPOLISH. 

Oh, oh, don't mind the ink on my hand. Sorry! 

But see how it's pigmented in two coats! Anyway, that's all I have to say. You can buy this in the USA, spain, Switzerland, UK, France, Germany, Italy and Holland. In Holland you buy it at Dio Drogisterij, Parfumerie Douglas and DA Drogisterij. 

Love,

Urban Decay, Feminine Palette,Swatches+Review

Hey everyone! So last I went to Sephora, because they had 25% sale on all make-up. And I was like hell yeah, I want an Urban Decay palette.Well, I wanted an Too Faced palette first. But then I thought the Urban Decay Feminine palette is limited edtion. And the Too Faced Natural Eye palette, I can buy whenever I want. So the Urban Decay Feminine Palette contains the following eyeshadows:

• Stray Dog
• Swf
• Midnight Cowboy
• Aquarius
• Larkhorse
• Ecsacy

It comes with an mini primer potion(eden) and a 24/7 zero glider eyeliner.



From left to right: stray dog, swf, midnight cowboy, aquarius, larkhorse and ecstacy. Without flash.



With flash.

I didn't swatch the primer potion, because I think y'all know how that looks. The pigmentation of the shadows are amazing. It's so good! And I paid only €25 for six eyeshadows. That's amazing. Because the pigmentation is like insane. And I'm not joking here. Compare these to MAC eyeshadows, and the pigmentation is pretty much the same. And you pay €15 for one eyeshadow. So this is pretty much my best purchase ever!

For the eyeliner I only have one word: CREAMY. This eyeliner is creamy as hell. And perfect for the waterline!

And that completes my review about the urban decay feminine palette. I love it!

Love,

Farha

Herbal Essences, It's a curl thing + Beautiful ends review

Hi there! You may have seen this on my collective haul post. But today a review about the Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner. I picked up It's a curl thing and Beautiful Ends. And the first thing I wanna say is that these aren't high end shampoos, so you can't expect amazing things from it.

So about the It's a curl thing. I have to say I don't like it. Because I have really curly hair and it absolutely didn't do anything. The frizz in my hair? It just stayed the same, my hair wasn't soft, the frizz was the same as when I used other shampoo's. It only cleans my hair. Besides that? Nothing. But I haven't really finished up the bottle, I think I'm gonna finish the bottle. Because otherwise it's just a waste of money, right?

The Beautiful ends. I don't what it is, but somehow this shampoo is way better than the It's a curl thing. It really softens my hair, and my ends really do look better. My split ends weren't gone, but they looked better. All by all, the beautiful ends shampoo does it work better than the it's a curl thing. And I really do love the beautiful ends shampoo and conditioner.

So this was my review about Herbal Essences. You can buy these at your local drugstore or in the Netherlands at Kruidvat and Etos. I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Love,

Farha

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine - Review & Swatch

Hey everyone! Remember I told you guys that I was going to buy the new Chanel Lipstick? I did. And I have to say it's more of a lipgloss/lipbalm than a lipstick. Because it's sheer,hydrates your lips, and is very smooth to apply. I bought it in the colour 66 bel-ami. It's kind of  an pink-brown dark-ish colour. See the pictures below. 

So that were the pictures and swatch. As for the swatch on my lips? Well, I tried to make a photo of it. But somehow my camera wouldn't focus. But the colour is pretty much as shown in the swatch on my hand. My final conclusion? It isn't the prettiest lipstick I own, to be honest. But it's perfect for daytime, for me. Because my lips are quite dark(naturally). And if I wear an dark brown-ish lipstick, it looks natural on me. Oh, when I went to store I swatched an peach kind of colour. That one was so pigmented, if it would suit me. I'd probably get the peach one. But for fairer girls around us, it would look so pretty on YOU! Oh, and the pigmentation of this one is quite goood! 


So that was my review.What are your thoughts on the CoCo shine? I hope you liked it, and I'll talk to you tomorrow.

My Sigma E25 blending (travel) brush + a review !

Hiya, today an post on Sigma. A brand which I personally really love. Their brushes are AMAZING ! And I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm an Sigma beauty affiliate. And when you're a Sigma Beauty affaliate you get products send to you, not every month though. They send you products according to you blog followers. For example if you have, let's say 50, you'll get the the Blending brush like I did. Anyway, I got it. Tested it out. And honestly I wasn't expecting much. Because it's an travel brush. And travel brushes usually aren't the same quality as the original brush.


But you guys,the Sigma brush is! I purchased a Sigma blending brush myself to compare. And it's really true. The quality seriously is the same.And the brush just fits in your purse , in your little make-up bag. Where ever you want to put it!

Not Blended ...

Blended ...

So as you see. The pictures don't do justice to it. Because it looks way more blended in real life than on the picture. Oh, and excuse me for my crappy eye pictures. My eyes are teary, swollen because of hay fever. So, sorry you have to see that!


Anyway, final conclusion? My new love! I'm sure whenever I go traveling or having a sleepover. This baby will go in my make-up bag !

Mijn Catrice nagellakjes(review+swatches) + NYC in NL !

Hoi allemaal! Het is weer dinsdag en dat betekent dat het weer tijd is voor een Nederlandse blog. En dit keer over mijn catrice lakjes die ik tot nu heb. En natuurlijk over NYC!

Ik heb in totaal 6 lakjes van Catrice. En dat zijn :

• 070 Caught on the red carpet - een donkere rood
• 200 From dusk to dawn - een taupe, nude kleur
• 310 I see trough you - Een doorzichtig lakje
• 250 I sea you - Een mintgroene kleur
• 150 Big spender wanted - Roze, met een lichte sheen
• 110 Poison me, poison you - Donker paars

Ze lakken erg fijn over het algemeen. Je hebt er wel 2 coats voor nodig. Maar eigenlijk mag ik helemaal niet klagen. Want dit zijn de beste lakjes voor €2,50. Ze drogen snel. En ik heb ze natuurlijk ook even ge-swatched voor jullie. Dat heb ik gedaan op mijn eigen nagels, want ik heb nog nagelwiel(helaas!). Ik heb ze zonder topcoat en zonder basecoat aangebracht. Alle lakjes zijn in 2 coats aangebracht.

 Zoals je ziet, dekken ze heel goed ! Op mijn duim heb ik nude kleur op. En die is op de foto wat nuder dan normaal. De consistentie van de donker rode was heel dun. Maar deze dekt alsnog in 2 coats. En de doorzichtige hoef ik natuurlijk niet te swatchen, he! Over de andere lakjes heb ik eigenlijk niet zo veel te zeggen. Want ze dekken normaal, en de kleuren van deze zijn beyond pretty !

Mijn persoonlijke voorkeur gaat uit naar I sea you en From dusk to dawn. Dat zijn voor mij de twee mooiste lakjes van allemaal wat ik heb. Natuurlijk zijn de andere lakjes ook mooi, anders had ik ze niet gekocht!

Anyway, enough about Catrice! Nu over NYC. New york color is een amerikaans budget merk. Een beetje net als Catrice. Alleen vind ik dan dat de producten van NYC veel meer lijken op high-end. Dit merk wordt in Maart geintroduceerd bij de Kruidvat. De prijzen zullen niet zo heel duur zijn, waarschijnlijk vanaf 2,99? Anyway, ik ga elk geval wel naar de kruidvat toe in maart! Dat zeker, gaan jullie ook? Laat het me weten in de comments!

Charles Worthtington Heat Defence Spray Review

If you have curly hair like me. You probably straighten you hair a lot. Because it is so hard to maintain curly thair. I've been looking a long time for a good heat protecter. And may just found the one. It's the Charles Worthington Heat Defence Spray. I love it! Want to know why? Well, just keep on reading.

So basically what it does for your hair:

• Protects hair from the daily aggresors of heat styling uv radition and pollution.
• Smooth frizz and maximise the staying power of your finished style.
• Lock in moisture an transform hair manageability an shine.

That's what it says in the package. Now back to real life. About the pollution I'm not sure. Because my here gets dirty very fast sometimes. So it may have to do with my hair. But other than it's an amazing product. It makes your very shiny, it does smoothes my frizz a little bit. But the fact that is pretty good, because my hair is ver frizzy. Remember the frizz hair look from the runway? That's what it looks like sometimes. Crazy huh?  An it gets better. It's an drugstore product.

You buy this at your local drugstore. And it's not expensive I bought it for I think either €6.99 or €7.99. Compared to CHI products that is cheap. So that is what I think of the heat protecter. I hope I was helpful. I'll blog you tomorrow!

Sleek palettes. Good Girl & Bad Girl, Review and Swatches

Hi there! So a few days ago i got my SLEEK palettes. I was like so excited. Because i ordered them from a dutch web-shop. Want to know why? Because no where else i could find these limited edition palettes! Want to know more? Keep on reading.


So the first palette is the Good Girl. Which i'm totally in love with. It has lot's of pink colours. And of course that's why i love it. And the colours literally go from light to dark. The eyeshadows are in overall very pigmented. I'm not gonna lie, the colours somehow kinda look like each other. But other than that. It's worth buying for €7,95. Because for that price, you aren't going to find pigmentation like that. See the swatches below. Please forgive me, for my weird angled picture. I'm still trying to figure out this new camera ! 

Then the Bad Girl palette. Which isn't my favourite, but i still love it. It has a lot of darker colours. Those are perfect to create a smokey eye with. It has black, purple, gun metal, and even an dark green. Oh and it has a dark brown and blue to! And this palette. All i'm saying is wauw! Because the shadows are insanely soft. And they are so pigmented. If you're buying one these, i'd recommend for you to buy this palette. And besides for €7,95, you can't get it any better. See the swatches below. And as i said, please don't mind my weird camera angle.

 So that was my short review about the sleek palettes. I got them at    http://www.alicejohavesentials.nl/ each for €7.95. I hope it wasn't to bad. Cause it was my first time swatching and stuff. So i'll blog you tomorrow !

Venus peeling review

So like two weeks ago, i went shopping. And ofcourse i couldn't let the store Douglas pass. For those of you who wanna know, it's a dutch high-end store in cosmectics. They sell brands from venus to chanel.

Anyway i saw this peeling, wich was only 5,95. And i thought why not?
So i tried it out. And ... i'm very happy with this peeling ! And for that price.
It's cheap, pretty, and it cleanses and makes your skin very soft. However i do not recommend using it every, because it has those tiny litlle thingies that are kind of like an scrub. And if you use it everyday it's gonna scrub all the good things of your face,  and it does not feel nice, it does not look good. If you like not live in Holland but in the USA, go to target, wal-mart, sephora and find a peeling that works for you. Trust me, they have cheaper ones.

Like one time i exfoliated my face everyday. And believe it dries it out your skin so badly. Anyhow. I hope you enjoyed reading my blog. And i'll blog y'all later !



PS: I made a picture of it, but it so unclear. Sorry .
