    Hot or Not: Gigi Hadid x Maybelline Collection Review

    The Gigi Hadid x Maybelline collection has got to be one of the most anticipated launches this year, and I was so excited I to try them out! The nude, blush pink packaging is beautiful and I’m drawn to anything pink, so this collection was calling out my name. But is everything as good as it seems?

    Although these are from Maybelline, they’re all more expensive than regular Maybelline products, obviously because it has Gigi’s name attached to it. So, not everything from the collection is worth the price.

    Read on to see swatches and for my reviews of the products!

    My Skincare Routine for Congestions and Clogged Pores: Elucent Skincare Review

    I’m so excited I can finally share about some products from my skincare routine for congestions and clogged pores!

    I started weaning my son from breastfeeding shortly before he turned one in September, and boy did my skin hate me for that! I thought pregnancy acne was bad, but no one ever told me weaning acne would be far worse! To top it all off, seasonal changes was also a culprit. I had at least two new cystic acne appearing every week and my pores congested with tiny, skin-colored bumps with new ones appearing every day.

    I started on the La Roche Posay Effaclar System Kit, as I mentioned in my latest Empties: Buy Or Bye? post and it tremendously helped clear up my cystic acne, but it stopped there. After all my cystic acne disappeared, I was left with tons of red spots and discoloration, and my pores were still very much congested – all throughout my T-Zone and jawline.

    About 2-3 weeks ago I started using some products from the Elucent Anti Ageing range, and I was so shocked to see the results. I can’t believe the vast improvement I’ve been seeing on my skin.

    Check out my before-and-after photos and reviews of the products below. I will share my whole my skincare routine for congestions and clogged pores soon!

    Maybelline The City Mini Palette Review

    Maybelline The City Mini Palette

    Last year I wrote an in depth comparison review between three drugstore nude palettes (read here), which included the Maybelline The Nudes palette. In all honesty I kinda lost faith in Maybelline eyeshadows as their palette didn’t really impress me much. However, these new Maybelline The City Mini Palette releases rocked my world, I’m soo ready for more Maybelline eyeshadows!

    Check out my Maybelline The City Mini Palettes review and swatches below.
