Beauty Inside Art

Today's blog post is about five empty and boring products. About six months ago, I decided to start collecting my empty products, so I can film an empties video with at least 10 items. Why six months ago, you may ask. Well, I am horrible when it comes to using up products, so I thought I'd start collecting them until I reach a good number. To be honest, I haven't counted them and they're scattered all over my room's drawers, so I might have enough for a video. Nonetheless, these were the five items I found in my nail varnish drawer. Shall we get started?

1. LR Aloe Vera Hand Care Extra Rich Hand Cream: I haven't used this in a while, but I remember this being a very moisturising and thick cream. It has 40% Aloe Vera, Almond oil, and it claims to smooth and regenerate the skin. Also, it is addressed to very dry skin, and I use this during the winter as my hands get incredibly dry. This cream however, doesn't have a very appealing smell, but it's not strong, so I don't mind.

2. LR Aloe Vera Face Care Moisturising Lip Care: Currently I am using this product, just a new one. It's not the best lip balm, but it does the job and it's cheap. It contains 40% Aloe Vera, as well. In addition, it's free from  parabens and mineral oil. Again, this is a non scented product.

3. LR Aloe Vera Face Care Soft Skin Cleansing Tissues: These used to be my go-to makeup removing method during the winter, until I run out of them and started using the Avon Conditioning Eye Makeup Remover lotion. Yes, I use an eye makeup remover for my face, I have sensitive skin and I'm lazy. The cleansing tissues have 30% Aloe Vera and are free from mineral oil and parabens. Again, these aren't scented and aren't amazing. I find them very good in terms of removing makeup, but no so great for removing mascara.

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. Yes, I know, I should have posted this yesterday, on Tuesday, but I have been exhausted lately. You know about the bathroom renovation, but now I've started babysitting my niece again and she's a handful. Luckily today she's with her other grandmother so I was able to upload my channel trailer on youtube. I've been wanting to upload a channel trailer for a while, but I never felt like I had enough footage. Last week, I joined the Youtube Creator Academy Course and one of the assignments was to create a channel trailer and I finally decided to do it. Basically, I introduce myself, my channel and my blog. I hope you like it.

Hello everyone. Today's blog post is a little bit different. I've been wanting to blog about some of my university assignments for a while, so I thought I'd do one today, and if you like it, I'll post more in the future. After all, this is a blog about art as well as beauty and fashion. My second Photography project was about Urban Poetry. Let me explain it better, though. The project was about taking photos in any city, with a DSLR camera and without using any sort of editing. The final photos should at least be six, three of them should have graphic elements and the other three should just be about the feeling and spirit of the town. Oh and the term Urban Poetry is metaphorical.

Hello everyone. I hope your week has started well! Mine has been full of changes, so far. To be more specific, we are having some changes done in our home, which I am paying for. The biggest change is the second bathroom. Basically, there's nothing left besides the walls. I have a photo on Instagram. I am so excited to see the finished bathroom. I will definitely post more photos of the process on Instagram.

Today, I am introducing a new series of blog posts. Just Ordered is exactly what the name suggests. I will be featuring items that I've recently ordered online. Last night, while I was checking my e-mails I found one from Romwe about a mid-season sale up to 70% and after a couple of hours of browsing, I finally had chosen what I wanted to get. So here are the three pieces of clothing that I'm waiting to be shipped to my house.
