Cohorted Beauty Box July!

    Yeeeeey I have the Cohorted Beauty Box and guess what?!! I've also ordered the one for August!! Yeeeey happy me, lucky me!
    I am so happy you can't imagine! But let me share with you this joy and have a look inside!
    First this beauty box has 4 full size products and it costs 20 pounds + 2.5 pounds delivery!

The first product is this make up palette from Diego dalla palma which contains 6 eye shadows a lipstick and a black eye pencil. I've never tried any of their products and I'm really happy that now I've got the chance to do this!

 

 On top there are the 3 shimmery and glittery eye shadows and my favorite one is the 17 Snow because is very pigmented and it's also a good high litter. I've also tried them and the makeup lasted for hours without smudging or anything which is great! 

  On the bottom there are the 3 matte eye shadows which are Ok! The one in the middle, 9 destiny, has a little shimmer but it's hard to notice. This trio is good for a natural and casual make up!

 The next product is this amazing lipstick! I am in love with it! It's a red shade with an orange subtone which is the perfect match for the nail polish that I've got in this beauty box (continue to read you will find it). So some details about it: It lasts for a long time of period and even after I ate I still had it on my lips, it hydrates my lips very well and the finish is not shiny or glossy but not really matte is in between if you understand what I mean:)). Big thumb for this gorgeousness! 

 

 

  

  The second product is this gradual tan lotion  from St. Tropez. I've been using this for 3 days and now I have a subtly tan, very natural  exactly what I needed before holiday: a splash of color! The texture is not greasy and it absorbs quickly but you have to be careful and clean your palm after using it cuz otherwise you will look like you have jaundice!

 

    

    The third product is a nail polish from Nails Inc. London which I've already told you that it is the perfect match for the lipstick from the palette! It's a matte red shade, I tried it today so I can't tell you if it last but what I can tell you is that I applied 2 layers in order to be opaque and it dried in a couple of minutes!

  

  

 

  

   The last product is this shower gel from Gucci. It smells sweet, floral perfect for the summer but I don't think it belongs to this beauty box. I don't know why, I don't have a logical explanation but this is just my opinion. Anyway I am happy that I received it because I will go on holiday at the end of the week and I really needed a small shower gel and now I have it! 

  So this was the beauty box for this month, I hope you like it and maybe you were lucky to get the box as well so I'm waiting for some opinions and reviews.

  P.S. Last week I created my youtube channel and I am so proud of myself because I had the courage to do this! I posted a video there where I've presented all the products so if you wanna have a look I post the link below!

About foundation brushes

 

I can say that I am an old fashion person because I tend to keep my old habits and it's really hard to make me try new things buut I'm working on it. For example, my friend Andreea tried to convince me to watch the serial ''The 100'' for almost a month and I was like ''neah I'm watching Grey's Anatomy again, I don't think I'm gonna  like it'' and so on until one day when I decided to give it a try and now I'm obsessed with it. I finished both seasons and I'm waiting for the 3rd one so thanks Andreea :D! Anyway today's post it is not about this it's about how important is to use a good foundation brush.

   Until two months ago or something like this I used to apply my foundation with my fingers which was a really big pain in the ass 'cuz all my cosmetics were dirty and it annoyed me so much that I decided to buy a brush. Because I am an old fashion person I said that I don't need a fancy brush that will cost me a fortune so I bought this pink one from wilko. I was happy because the foundation was only on my face and not on my cosmetics but I noticed that it wasn't blended properly and that it wasn't spread equable.Another things that I didn't like were : it absorbed too much foundation, it was really hard to wash and dry. Imagine how angry I was because I let myself convinced to try something new and it was a failure.

  Anyway I couldn't just get over it without a victory so I bought the one from Real Techniques 'cuz everyone on the internet is madly in love with it:))...and the truth is that so am I now. I never thought that a brush can help so much and can create a perfect look. This brush is absolute fantastic : you don't have to use too much product, it's really easy to wash it and it is dried in 2 minutes. Pretty cool right? Also the package is really cute and the price is acceptable if you buy it from Amazon. It was around 6 pounds and it was delivered in 3-4 working days.

 

After this experience the moral is that I have to be willing to try new things more often and to don't  expect to receive great things from cheap products. The quality of the RT brush is indisputable compared with the one from Wilko . This doesn't mean that now I will buy only expensive products but in some cases you have to! Btw I'm preparing a surprise for you very soon!
