Chocolate Strawberries!

Hello everyone!
The post is a bit later online today, I know, I've been working on a school project with class mates and I just got home, that's why.

Anyways, today my post is going to be about the amazing body butters by The Body Shop. I know a lot of bloggers write about this and it's a very known product in the beautyblogger world, but oh well.
I got these two little body butters a little less than a month ago. They are "mini", so they were cheaper.
Not only is this great to give away, like for the holidays, it's also amazing if you want to try out a new scent but you're not sure if you'll still like it after a while. So you grab this just to be safe.

I got two mini body butters for myself. These two are ones that I had been wanting for a really really long time. The Chocomania body butter, which smells just like chocolate (and I also like the picture on the jar a lot), and the strawberry body butter.



So after almost a month using these two body butters, I'm still not close to emptying the jars (which won't happen soon, I hope, because I love them so much!)
I combine them; one week I use strawberry and the other week I use chocolate. My sister doesn't like any of the scents, she says she likes the mango one better (she has it herself).
I know I do really like them and I know exactly which ones I would like to repurchase... Full size this time!

If you ever have the chance to try out the little ones, don't pass up the opportunity, I have been enjoying it for quite a while now and I think this is just a safe way to try all of the scents, or a great way to give your friends something they might want to try/like. I'm not sure if they still sell it throughout the year, but I'll check next time I go there and I'll let you know!

Have a good evening!

Essence Fantasia Highlighter Review

Hello everyone!
Today I wanted to talk about a new highlighter that I recently got. It's from the "Fantasia" collection by Essence and I've been loving it. I've only used it for a week or maybe a little bit more, but I loved it so much, I just couldn't wait to write a review!


I got this highlighter a little while ago and I immediately started using it. I really love how it looks. The butterfly in the middle is adorable!


As you can see, the colour of the butterfly (or wait, it's a butterfly, right?) and the colour of everything that's surrounding the butterfly is different. I like to mix those two colours so that I have a bit of each. The pigmentation is very good.


This is how it looks on my skin. It doesn't make you look like a disco ball, which is nice. It does stay on a long time, like when I put it on in the morning I can still see a bit of it in the evening but not as much as in the morning. Obviously I've been touching my face and such... I apply it in a line above my blush, a little bit under my eyes, more to the cheekbones. It gives a really nice shimmer and when the (sun)light hits you there, you can see the glitter and it's just totally adorable!
I really love how it looks. It was only $3.94, which is about €2.99, which I think is very affordable. And also, have you seen how big this highlighter is?! I'd really recommend it to all you beauty lovers out there, like I said, I like it and I enjoy using it!
