mini 3 Concept Eyes makeup Haul

Yes, I followed the craze and got myself a few 3 Concept Eyes products. I purchased them at Yesstyle.
1. 3CE Skin Tone Control Primer
I got the # Ice Vanilla colour to correct my red undertones and make my foundation last longer. This did nothing for me. The texture is hard to blend, even with a foundation brush, and I don’t like the way it sits on the skin. It did not help even one bit to maintain my foundation in place. I would not recommend this product, it was a total waste of money. I have since found a much better primer than this at a 1/3 of the price that I might review later.
2. 3CE Liquid Foundation
Got mine in # Ivory Beige. I was dying to try this because I was craving the dewy healthy look. The foundation smells fruity, which I like, almost reminds me a hair conditioner I used to use. It is easy to blend and, although the colour range is very limited, this looks alright on me. It does not cover redness around my nose area, so a concealer must be used. If you have problem skin I doubt this would do anything for you. It gives a very nice dewy finish. I set it with loose powder, however by midday I can see my nose shine! Not a dewy healthy glow, but a oily shine! In the evening, by the time I get home from work, I cannot wait to wash this layer of oil out of my skin. I’ve tried this on different days with different weathers and different powders and primers, but the result is the same. Very disappointed…
3. 3CE Full Cover Concealer
Love this! I got mine in #002, it is a lighter than my skin tone, and I use it daily. It covers my quite purple-ish under eye circles and whatever blemishes I might have. Cannot go without it and would recommend it.
4. 3CE Face Glow
This is a nice alternative to get a dewy look with my regular foundation. I got it in the # Bondi Beach shade. Lovely golden toned, looks very natural when mixed with foundation prior to application, and used again as a highlighter after applying foundation for that extra gold. I don’t use it everyday, but it’s perfect for a party or a night out.

Hyped as it is, I don’t think I will purchase more products from this brand. The concealer was a really nice surprise and thank god for that, otherwise I would feel like a total loser for spending money on stuff I won’t even be able to use. It is an affordable brand nonetheless and if you got the ££s, go ahead and give it a go. If you are on tight budget, I would say skip it, it isn’t worth wall the craze.

winter Yesstyle get items and new shoes

These are my get items from December and January. Since I am on a savings plan, Yesstyle's winter sale was really usefull. The clothes I got are nice quality and comfy for this cold weather, plus super cheap and cute! The only down side of Yesstyle is how long they take to actually ship the items... Last time even though I chose only "ready to ship" items, it took them 2 weeks to finally send it to me. The previous one took 1 month and only then did they inform me that 2 of the items I had chosen were sold out (after I had purchased them!) and I got a refund. Its a bit annoying to by stuff from Yesstyle, to be honest, but it's worth it because of the price and cute things. I've been buying from them for the past 5 years and its always the same with every order, so I don't expect much anymore, haha.

The little boots are from Topshop, they're very comfy and warm for winter. But since its suede, I can't wear them in the snow or rain.

We got some snow last week. I come from a city where it never snows, so I'm still amazed every time I see snow, haha. I've been given night shifts for 3 weeks, so my life as been insane, I feel like I don't have time for anything. I get home late, near 1am, go to sleep at 2am, sleep until noon, wake up and get shower, eat something, check my email and leave for work again. I don't like this kind of life. I like to wake up early, go to work, come back and do stuff, make dinner, take shower and go to sleep. I know I have the same amount of time to spend at home, but I can't seem to make a good use of it. I don't fit this kind of schedule. So I requested not to be given more than 3 night shifts anymore... I feel out of balance.

On a more healthy side, I've been eating loads of Oden and Nabe, so soothing for this cold weather. It's been an average of -3/-4 at night here in London and I'm not really used to it.

Hopefully I will go back to a more balanced schedule and find more time to blog, I have so much to say! haha
