Review: e.l.f. Pressed Powder

Hello!

This is my first review post on one product. I'll tell you a little bit about the product, its pros and cons and whether I'd recommend it. So I'm going to be reviewing e.l.f. Pressed Powder. I've had it for quite a long time, that's why I used up quite a lot of it. I'm trying to use it up, but I don't really reach for it very often. I have it in a shade Sand, which is my summer shade or I can use it lightely in winter, but I would usually go for Porcelain. Price: 3$

Pros: It's not very sheer, has a medium coverage and staying power is okay. The texture is quite butter-y and smooth.

Cons: Looks a little bit cake-y and unnatural. In addition, there is a HUGE fallout when you're picking it up with a brush. It's not finely mild. Colour selection is not big (5 shades available).

 Overall, it's very affordable powder, but I wouldn't really recommend it. There are better powders for this price or a tiny bit more (such as Rimmel Stay Matte), especially bearing in mind the fallout, which makes you use the product a lot quicker. 

So this is just my opinion as I wouldn't buy this powder again, but comment down below if you've tried this powder and tell everyone what you think!

Bye!

Everyday Makeup Routine

Hi Beauty Lovers!

Today I will talk about products which I use everyday if I am going somewhere. I usually don't have much time in the morning to get ready, but I always sacrifice some time to do my makeup haha. You'll have already seen some of these products, but I use them because they're sooo good. So my makeup is quite minimalistic and neutral and this is what I do almost every morning:

I don't use primer everyday, I sometimes apply it if I know that I will get home late in the evening.

So the first product I use on my face is Bourjois 123 Perfect CC cream in 31 ivory. I like this one because it feels very light on my face, hydrates it and stays really well on my skin.
 I apply it with my Real Techniques Sculpting Brush.

Next, I use my Catrice Camouflage Cream (10 ivory), which I mentioned in my 2015 Finds post, to cover up any blemishes I have that day.











For my undereyes I mostly use Collection Lasting Perfection concealer in Fair (1). It has medium to high coverage, so it covers up my dark circles. (You can see it's picture here in my last blog post, but the name is off so that's why I didn't insert a picture here).
I blend out both concealers with a sponge, because I find that this gives me more coverage and makes my face more flawless.

After that, I set my face with Rimmel Stay Matte powder in Tranparent. I usually set my undereyes with it as well because I don't have a lot of time to use different products haha. I love it because it mattifies and sets your makeup. I have this in Transparent. The only drawback is that it doesn't stay all day (still stays quite a long time), but for the price this is irreplacable. I use my Real Techniques Blush Brush (prefer it to powder brush because it's easier to apply targeted areas with this one).

If I feel like it I use any of my bronzers, blushes or highligters, but nothing in particular.
I'll use my eyebrow pencil now because I feel more comfortable with my eyebrows done haha. Even though I don't use much product on them and don't change their shape it's still very important. I use this Make Up Academy eyebrow pencil in a shade Brunette. This colour is very warm and not ashy at all. This is only 1£ and you can get it on Superdrug or on Make Up Academy website. I actually bought this one then I was travelling because I needed to get any brow pencil but I really like it! The brush on the end is not very handy as the quality is not good at all and I have to say that it's not as waxy as most brow pencils are, so it might not stay as long, but after I got used to its creaminess I really like it, it just depends what you prefer.

Next, I will sometimes use eyeliner, it depends on my mood and if I do, I will use it on my tight line and I'll use L'oreal Color Riche Le Khol eyeliner in Midnight Black (101). Be careful as this might transfer to your lower lashline if you blink too much right after you apply it. It's very black and wears nicely, so I'd recommend it. (The name is kind of off as on most of my makeup, at least I know I really use them haha).

If I don't use eyeliner and I want to be a little bit more colourful I'll use eyeshadow, which most often for everyday look is Calvin Klein Tempting Glimmer eyeshadow in Cashmere Plum as it is so easy and quick to use. I use this very lighly and apply it with my finger just for a hint of colour. I love this colour, because it compliments my blue eyes very well. It's a soft plumy purple colour. These eyeshadows stay very well on your eyes and you can get it from fragrancedirect.co.uk for only 3.50£!

After that, I'll apply mascara. Mostly, I use my Gosh Catchy Eyes (Provocateur) mascara, but I'll use any mascara depending on the look that I am going for. This is one of the best mascaras I've tried and I've repurchased it several times already. This is best for lengthening and it really makes your lashes reach the sky! It has a rubber applicator.

 Lastly, I apply some kind of lip product. Sometimes it's just a lip balm and sometimes it's a dark purple - it all depends on my mood, but lately I've been using my Maybelline Color Sensational lipstick in Galactic Mauve. This is quite sheer so I like it for a hint of colour. Be aware that this colour has glitters in it, which I'm personally not a fan of, but they don't show very much on the lips. This has glossy/satin finish. (I don't use this one when I use my CK eyeshadow because the colours are too similar).

Left to right: MUA eyebrow pencil in Brunette, L'oreal eyeliner in Midnight Black, CK eyeshadow in Cashmere Plum, Maybelline lipstick in Galactic Mauve.

That's my everyday makeup routine. My everyday makeup is simple and quite natural, but I hope you enjoyed! What are the products you use everyday? I'd love to know!

Have a nice day/morning/evening, wherever you are!

Shining Bright Like a Diamond

Hello Beauties!

Firstly, I'm so sorry that I haven't posted for a few days! I didn't have Internet for a few days and I knew that I won't have Internet on those days and I tried to make my blog posts upload automatically but that didn't work:(. So I'm really sorry and I hope you'll enjoy my new posts!

So I just randomly decided to write a post about toothpaste haha. I was brushing my teeth and I reeeally like this toothpaste so I thought I would share that with you and maybe help someone out.

Soo, if you're looking for a nice whitening toothpaste I recommend you cheching out R.O.C.S. Sensation Whitening toothpaste which has active granules in it. It gives very fresh feeling after and it whitens your teeth soo well. I usually use it only one time per day as I like to switch my toothpastes and use different one the other time and I also didn't want to use whitening toothpaste too much as they say it can be bad for your teeth, but despite not using it all the time I saw a difference in few days as my teeth became whiter!! It says on the box that you can see results in 1 week use and I definitely agree (or you can see them even faster)!

This toothpaste is without fluoride and I can't say if it's really good or bad. I believe, you should switch between fluoride free and toothpastes with fluoride to get enough fluoride but not too much, but that's just my opinion.

So I really think that R.O.C.S. products are worth trying out! (I'm not sure if someone might think that this post is sponsored but it's not haha)

See you soon!

Empties!

Hello everyone!

As 2016 has come it's time to start it fresh and new! Let's talk about some products I've used up!

The first one is L'oreal Lumi Magique Concealer. I had it in the lightest shade: Light (1). I liked it but I wouldn't repurchase because for the price you can get something better. It has very sheer coverage and it's more of a highlighter than a concealer. If you don't have dark undereyes this looks really nice and illuminates your undereyes, but like I said there are definitely better products in the drugstore so I won't be buying this again. Price: 8.5£.

Next is this E.L.F. Concealer and highlghter duo. Mine was in the shade Light. Wouldn't repurchase as well, because the highlighter isn't very pigmented or illuminating, it kind of disappears after a while. The concealer is fine, but after using it for longer I noticed that my undereyes became very very dry and itchy, so definitely don't recommend it for sensitive skin. Price: 3$ (I've checked it now and it might have been discontinued, but at least we didn't lose anything important haha). Besides, mines broke into two parts then I dropped it:(.

Pierre Cardin concealer. I had this in the shade 02 Naturel (it's funny that it's not the lightest shade and it's not too dark for me). I've scraped everything out of this haha. I really enjoyed this concealer, although there are better ones for my skin type. If you have a pretty good skin this is perfect. The concealer looks very natural and feels light on the skin. This offers light to medium coverage and it's not very buildable. Price: 7.50£.


And the last product is a Volume Million Lashes mascara (the original golden black one) by L'oreal. It has a rubber applicator and it's best for volumizing your lashes and it also gives a little bit of lenght. The mascara was okay, I liked it, but I don't think I will be repurchasing it anytime soon, just because there are better mascaras for lower price and I would only recommend buying this on offer. Full price: 10£.

That's it for today, sorry that the products are mostly concealers haha! I hope you enjoyed and if you have any questions or requests please comment down below!

See you soon!

2015 Finds

Hello Beauty Lovers!

As the year is coming to an end and today is the last day of 2015 I thought I should recall on things which I've discovered and loved throughout 2015. This post is kind of monthly favourites but for a year - yearly favourites haha. I have some higher end and some drugstore products. I hope you enjoy!

So the first product which I found in 2015 and it would be a lot harder to live without now is PIXI Correction Concentrate in Brightening Peach. This saves my life! I have really dark undereyes because of sleep deprivation (it's really bad for you, please avoid it haha), but this concealer hides EVERYTHING. It conceals any blue-ish or purple-ish discoloration on your face. It's the best that I've tried and I really recommend you getting your hands on it. It's quite hard to get it, but it's worth it! Price: 14£.

Clinique as a brand. I've had only one product from Clinique before 2015 - a lipstick, which I loved, but I tried many more this year, including skin care and makeup and I loved every single product, so I won't get into details right now, but you'll definitely hear about Clinique on my blog in the future.

Mary - Lou Manizer by The Balm. I mentioned this in my last blog post, but I have to say it again - it is the best highlight that I've tried! It's so pigmented and it makes your face so glowy and illuminated. Love it! Price: 18£.

The First Time

Hey Beauty Lovers!

I can't believe I'm finally starting a blog! This is my first time, but I've been thinking about this for such a long time, I've been accumulating all kinds of information about makeup and beauty so I hope you'll enjoy. So if you asked why I started this blog, I'd say that it's all because of my uncontrollabe obsession and unmanagable passion for makeup. I've been watching YouTube videos for ages and I can't stop.

So when it comes to my blog name - The White Beauty Fox - I can't explain how I thought of this name, because it kind of popped into my head. Anyways, it has a little bit of my personality in it - I was often called little fox when I was a child, probably because I've always been so curious. So initially I thought about naming my blog BeautyFox, but I added white, because white foxes are breathtaking and I love white - it's such a pure and modern colour for me - so I thought this name was more unique.

So my blog is going to be all about beauty, hair care, skin care, makeup, clothes and other girly things. If you come across my blog - please leave any requests and I'll be happy to write about anything that you're interested in!

See you soon!
