MUA eye shadow palettes REVIEW

Today's post is a review on the two MUA palettes I ordered a few weeks ago.

MUA package here and MUA blush review here.

MUA's eye shadows  are one of their stand out products and their 12 eyeshadow palettes at only 4£ are far away from disappointment.

Packaging is simple but quite decent. Sorry I didn't make a photo where I could saw you the size but to give you an idea the palette is slightly wider than the original naked palette and 3/4 of its lenght. 

So, not too big but that makes them travel friendly and easy to carry on your make-up bag or purse.

The eye shadows are soft, creamy, blending is super easy, not chalky (at least with mine I don't have fall outs when I apply them) and incredibly pigmented!!

Like seriously? what else can you ask for 4£?

Going all natural SKINCARE: toning

This is part two in my "Going all natural SKINCARE" series where I tell you everything I'm doing to try to accomplish a better skincare while avoiding chemicals as much as possible.

When it comes to toners I have to recognize I've never found them useful. Simply, it never worked for me so it isn't an item I would run to the store to buy.

Now, when I read this post about Apple Cider Vinager (ACV) toner being almost a miracle I had to give it a go. Also, it is very simple to make so why not?

Long story short ACV has antibacterial and antiseptic properties and it balances the pH of the skin. While it hasn't been a miracle to me and my skin still gets upset with me sometimes and I can't figure out the reason, it has done some good for me.

It helps clearing up active acne and prevents new break outs. It takes more time to act on cystic acne but I think it helps too. It definately helps fading scares and control the oil.

And I'm not quite sure about this but I think it helps to give the skin a glowy look, which I like.

So that's it!! have you ever tried using ACV?

Do you have a holy grail toner?

Let me know!

(TRUE) Christmas Wish List-From a young graduate

This is going to seem weird to you. Well, maybe not.

The more I grow up the harder it is for me to make a Christmas list.

There are many things I desire. Clothes, make-up, skin care...

Since I started this blog I want to try everything is out there like if a hungry little make-up beast had been awaken and I want to become the fashionista I've always dreamed to be.

But somehow I can't let my beloved ones to spend that much of money on me.

I would happily accept presents if I didn't know they were thinking to get me something on the first place. But deliberately telling them I want "THIS" doesn't seem right for me.

Everything I want, I want to be able to buy it by my own means.

I'm just simple like that.

Ant that's why my Christmas perfect gift this year would be a job. A TRUE job.

Starting January first I'll be unemployed. Which actually has turned out to be a good thing.

I always manage to find alternatives and I have some things from here and there, so I can't complain. As long as I'm working, I'm thankful.

But yet, none of these jobs would really help me get in the professional path I want to enter. I don't want A job. I want THE job.
I really need it. That's why I came to Geneva in the first place.

Getting out of the career pathway you had planned is not easy.

First I went through commotion: it took me time to accept that I didn't like anymore what I dreamed to do. That it wasn't like I expected. 

Second there was the eternal question: so what now? if I don't do a PhD like any other biologist out there, what would I do? WHAT? someone tell me please!

Third people would love to say you will not make it: No mum and dad, PhD is not the miracle solution to assure a career and YES! I do love what I studied, but I want to work from a different perspective. Strangers out there, stop asking: oh nice biology, so what's next? a PhD? no? oh so what there is to do for you then? 

Well, actually many things.

Once passed that moment of frustration, I discovered there is a huge world out there full of possibilities. It isn't easy, but it is out there.

It is also scary.

Let me give you the image of the last few weeks.

Friday 30th Nov: By seriously pure azar, in between I don't know how many work offers in finance and banking, I found THE offer.

Friday 7th Dic: They contact me by email for an interview. Laugh with me, but at first I thought it was a joke!

Monday 10 Dic: First interview went A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

Tomorrow, Friday 14th I have an interview with my "hope to be" boss.

If all goes well and it should, it's done!!

Needless to say, I've been scared. Scared of not finding a job, not receiving answers, receiving negative answers, of going through and being turned down...I'm still scared that it is not foing to work. I'll let you know how it goes, but for the moment I'm chosing to be scared because my dreams are way to big.

Hope you are having an amazing week!!

Sorry for being a bit MIA!!
