Beauty Inside Art

This Oriflame makeup bag has been in the first drawer of my desk for about six months. The majority of the products have stayed the same, throughout that time. My desk is where I normally apply my makeup on a daily basis. The rest of my makeup is kept next to my bed in an IKEA organiser (Makeup Organisation post here). Since the rest of my makeup has some distance from my desk, that a lazy girl like me doesn't like, I keep a bag with my go-to makeup products for easy access. So today, I will be sharing with you what these products are and why I use them so often.

To use it, I squeeze a pea sized amount onto my fingertip and apply onto my damp face. Then, I massage lightly in small circular movements across the face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Lastly, I rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft towel. When you use it the first thing you'll probably notice is the fresh, forest smell, and then you might start feeling a cooling and refreshing sensation. I love that cooling sensation as it makes me relax, somehow. Sometimes, I wait a couple of seconds before rinsing the product off, just to enjoy that cool feeling. It's so cool, it sort of burns sometimes, but in a pleasant way, like a mint chewing gum. After removing it, it leaves the skin matter, softer, fresh, clean and brighter. In addition, I've noticed some reduction of the redness on my face and I think it makes my skin a bit lighter.

Hello everyone. I'm taking a break from my exam studying to do a little review for you. The Honey Bronze Shimmering Dry Oil* from The Body Shop is described to be a luxurious dry shimmering body oil scented with honey and monoi. And that's what it is! Both the lovely smell and thin consistency make this product feel so luxurious when applied. To use you should shake well because the oil tends to sit on the top and then massage well in circular movements over the body. When finished you should wash your hands, because there would be shimmer left on the fingers.

The first layer of this shimmery oil has very minimal colour and golden shimmer (shown on the top pictures above). You should not confuse this product with a self-tanner, it will just add a subtle bronze tint to the skin. It is very moisturising, but it gets absorbed into the skin quickly, so I would recommend it to all skin-types, as it's not heavy. Also, it gives a very nice, healthy glow, but when you look at the skin from a close distance you can definitely see the shimmer. On a normal day, I would use this on my very pale and dry legs, to make them look healthier and prettier.
