It comes in a black matte plastic stick form. The writing is silver. Cap closes with a little click and it's well made. 

It costs 8.50€ and in it is 10 grams of product. 

You just twist the bottom half and the product comes out. Sometimes it doesn't want to fall back down, so I have to manually push it down. That is the only negative thing about it.

Kiko has two different shades 100 Gold and 101 Rose. I obviously went with 100 Gold. 

Gold is actually a nice champagne shade. It's not too warm nor cool. Something like this would look good on pretty much most skin tones. I would say it has a bit of a peachier base with almost silver reflecting particles. Shimmer in it is very small, but is visible, if you apply only one layer. The more you layer it the more uniformed it looks. 

With one swipe you get a sheer, but shiny layer that blends into the skin nicely. I find that this works good on top of foundations, but you need to blend out the edges, especially if you swipe it on straight from the bullet, it might leave streaks.

Pigmentation is good, but it has some sheerness to it. If you layer it, you can get really intense highlight that still looks a part of your skin. 

It's a balm like texture that has enough slip to apply on the skin, but doesn't feel greasy. It has no scent.

It's also very long lasting for a creamy product. I wear it all through the day, it just looses intensity and starts to look more like skin, when it mixes with my natural oils. 

Demonstration shows you how my skin looks like with just foundation, swipe of highlighter straight from the bullet and blended out.

It gives a really nice glow to the skin, which is definitely not as intense as with powder highlighters and somewhat looks like skin. You can still build it up to a pretty nice intense glow. On the photo you can see it on tops of my cheeks and above the arch of my brow. 

I love how practical this is to carry with you as well as applying. You just swipe it on and blend it out with fingers. It also looks like a part of your skin, especially when you skin's natural oils come through and it still gives a pretty noticeable glow. 

I also compared it to my other highlighters and I have to say Kiko's is the most natural looking shade of them all. The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer is obviously the most yellow toned and it's definitely pretty, especially paired with warm makeup and undertones. Essence Soo Glow! Cream to Powder Highlighter in 010 Look on the Bright Side is a much more stark white shade. I also compared it to Essence I Heart Nude Eyeshadow in 03 Creme Brulee, which is also a nice natural highlight. This one is less shiny with much more subtle sheen and it's also a tiny bit more yellow than Kiko. 

I am currently in love with this highlighter. In harsh sun light something like Mary-Lou can look really intense. Kiko highlighter has a nice cream texture that blends into the skin and looks like a part of your skin. This is my favorite thing about this highlighter. It's a bit sheer and looks like a part of your skin, but still gives an intense shine for all of us highlighter freaks. It's not too metallic or too shimmery. The shade is perfect mix of warm base and cool shimmer. It would look good on warm as well as cool skin tones. For a cream product this is very long lasting and super practical for when you're in a rush. I am seriously impressed with this one and it has become my staple product lately. Definitely recommend you to take a look, if you're ever in Kiko store. 

Pixi Glow Tonic is a very raved about product, especially in the UK thanks to skin care expert Caroline Hirons. It's enriched with glycolic acid, which falls into the AHA category of acids. This is suppose to brighten, tone and condition your skin after cleansing it. It's also suppose to sooth and hydrate the skin. 

It contains glycolic acid - derivative of sugar cane, aloe vera, ginseng, witch hazel and horse chestnut.

It comes in a plastic orange tinted transparent packaging, which is very simple. It has small hole that lets you pour out the liquid onto a cotton pad and then you just swipe it across the face. It doesn't really spill any product, if you use it with cotton pad. 

Details are mint colored and it has gold writing on it. Very simplistic design. 

I got it for 18£ on Cult Beauty and you get 250 ml of it. 

Previously I've only tried Clarins Gentle Exfoliator Brightening Toner as my first chemical exfoliator and I liked it, but it was suppose to be used only two times a week, since it was stronger. As I was looking for something that I could use daily in the morning and evening, Pixi Glow Tonic was very recommended choice. 

It's a transparent liquid. The scent is kind of floral fruity. It's not bad at all and not too invasive, (tolerable). 

This is also targeted for sensitive skin and mine definitely is. I don't feel any tingling sensation or irritation at all. It's very gentle on the skin and definitely appropriate for all skin types in my opinion. It feels very hydrating on the skin and you can feel a layer of something on it. It's not one of those super light sink in products. It dries down to a matte finish. After the use, skin is smoother on the touch, but I wouldn't say it's as effective in this as Clarins. I mostly like it for the hydrating properties, since I feel like it really brings back some moisture to the skin right after cleansing it. It also soothes the skin a bit. Especially if you've been abusing pimples or have a bit of redness. As far as being brightening goes, I haven't notice huge difference. It might have slightly helped with my darker areas around the mouth, but definitely didn't erase them completely. 

I don't find it as mind blowing as some describe it. To me this is a good starter chemical exfoliant for those that haven't use any of it before. It's also good for those with sensitive skin. It will make your skin a bit smoother and it will also hydrate it. I would use this as a toner in the morning and evening. 

I got into chemical exfoliants, because I've been noticing more and more bumps on my face. They look like clogged pores and uneven texture on the skin. I've also had some milia in the past. Those are basically mini cysts of keratin. They look like white dots stuck under the layer of skin and you can't pop them out. They are actually hard inside and need to be removed with professional help. Since I don't want this to keep popping up on my skin, I've heard that chemical exfoliants are a must have. I've recently bought a BHA liquid from COSRX and am a lot happier with it and its effectiveness. Pixi glow is becoming a bit too gentle and basic for me and for what I need to achieve with those products. 

Pixi Glow Tonic is a nice starter chemical exfoliant for those that want smoother and hydrated skin. It's also good for sensitive skin and it soothes the skin a bit. It's a nice every day use tonic to keep your skin at check, if you naturally don't have many problems with it. For me personally it's not as strong and effective as I would like it to be. I would also recommend you to try Clarins, if you're looking for a next step up from Pixi, since I feel it is a bit stronger and makes skin even smoother. 

Avon Anew Essential Youth Maximising Serum

It's a youth maximising serum that should help to bring the best out of a cream that you put on top, minimize the appearance of wrinkles and make skin hydrated and firm. It's a lightweight texture that soaks into the skin quickly. 

They also promise you visible results and after three days skin is suppose to be better looking and has a nice glow, after one week it should smooth the appearance of fine lines and make visibly smoother skin in general and after two weeks it should minimize wrinkles and any discoloration as well as make skin firmer. 

The packaging and design is gorgeous in my opinion. It's a rose gold metallic paper box with gold details. Tube is transparent plastic with metallic rose gold inside and gold details. The prettiest combination possible. 

Pump is silver and it works fine. One pump gives you enough product for the whole face. I use one and a half pumps, because I also apply it on my neck. 

The regular price of it is 27€ (currently it's on offer for 22.50€) and in it is 30 ml of product. 

It's a very smooth liquid gel (almost slippery texture), orange tinted and it spreads on the skin with the utmost ease. It's really very smooth and it soaks into the skin quickly. At first it leaves behind a slightly sticky layer, but then it becomes matte. I love the texture of it.

I am also really in love with the scent and that doesn't happen often, since I'm not one of those people that likes scented skin care products. But this smells somewhat like a sweet mandarin. 

I've been using it for about a month and a half (and some of my other family members have also been stealing it from me) and it's on its last breathe. I'm kind of sad. That just shows you how much I like it, because I very rarely finish skin care products (except for creams). 

I'm 27 years old and I don't really have a lot of wrinkles yet (fingers crossed). I have fine lines around my eyes and slightly more prominent smile line. 

As far as the smoothing and minimizing of wrinkles goes, I didn't notice any visible difference. I like this serum so much because of it's hydrating effect. It really did help with my skin retaining some moisture and not feeling heavy on the skin. I also like it as a base for face creams, because it stays slightly sticky and creams seem to really stick on it and don't move. It's a very lightweight serum that is surprisingly also a bit soothing and great for my sensitive skin. It has completely replaced my must have jojoba serum. I guess it also keeps my skin firm, but as I've said before, I don't have problems with that yet. 

Avon Anew Nutri-advanced Eye Cream

This is supposed to be very rich eye cream for all ages. I guess this is like a universal first step eye cream for those that need hydrating. 

As with the serum, this one also has gorgeous transparent pot with silver details.

Top has nice plastic beige shade with silver ring around it. I also like that it's very small and travel friendly. 

Regular price of it is 17€ (currently it's on offer for 11.90€) and in it is 15 ml of product. 

It's a very rich and thick beige cream. It's probably one of the richest eye cream that I've ever owned. I love thick creams, but at first I was a bit hesitant. It was kind of hard to move it around the eye area and it still is. You need to apply good amount of it and then slowly break it down with the warmth of your fingers and tap it into the skin.

Once you massage it into the skin it becomes smoother, almost a bit greasier and it spreads nicely. 

A little warning though. It says on the packaging to gently massage it around the eye area and then tap it until it absorbs. I wouldn't recommend you to massage it into the skin for a really long time or with hard pressure, because then it can start peel off and it's impossible to get it all off. 

I recommend you to gently massage it for a few second and then just tap it a little and be done. 

At first it stays slightly sticky, but then it absorbs into the skin and creates a very smooth layer on top of the skin. 

This won't minimize your fine lines, but it will hydrate them a bit and mostly create a smooth surface for you to apply makeup on top of it. It almost feels like a silicon primer has been added to it. 

It has an artificial scent, which is faint and I don't smell it once I apply it on the skin. 

I really like this serum. It might not seem like much, but I love a good serum that hydrates and soothes the skin and this one does just that. I also really like smooth lightweight texture of it as well as nice scent that feels luxurious whenever I apply it. Eye cream looked very promising because of the rich texture, but it needs a bit of work and getting used to applying it. I think it should have been slightly more slippery or greasy and it would be easier to spread as well. This might be good for those that don't like greasy eye creams and want a smooth matte base. I highly recommend serum to anyone that wants something lightweight underneath their creams. I don't like eye cream as much and would not repurchase it, because I find the texture hard to work with.

Imam kar veliko Avon izdelkov, ampak še nikoli prej nisem preizkusila nič iz njihovih Anew linij, ki se meni zdijo namenjene bolj koži s problemi in gubami, prav tako pa gre za dražje izdelke. Današnja ocena je o serumu in kremi za oči. 

Avon Anew Essential serum za pomlajevanje obraza

To je serum za pomlajevanje obraza, ki bi naj okrepil pomlajevalno moč krem za obraz, ublažil videz gub, koži povrnil bolj čvrst videz ter jo navlažil. Prav tako naj bi bil lahkoten in se hitro vpil v kožo.

Avon obljublja vidne rezultate in sicer po treh dneh naj bi bila polt izboljšana in koži bi se naj povrnil sijoč videz, po enem tednu naj bi se ublažil videz tankih linij in opazno zgladila koža in po dveh tednih naj bi se ublažil videz gub in razbarvanj kože ter naj bi se obnovila čvrstost kože. 

Embalaža in dizajn sta po mojem mnenju čudovita. Gre za roza zlato kovinsko škatlico z zlatimi detajli. Steklenička je prozorna plastična s kovinskim roza zlatim dizajnom in zlatimi detajli. Najlepša možna kombinacija. 

Pumpica je siva in dobro deluje. En pritisk da dovolj izdelka za obraz. Jaz uporabim en in pol pritiska, ker nanašam tudi na vrat. 

Redna cena izdelka je 27€ (trenutno ga lahko dobite za 22.50€) in vsebuje 30 ml izdelka. 

Je zelo gladek tekoč gel, oranžno obarvan in z lahkoto se razporedi po koži. Res izredno gladek in hitro se vpije v kožo. Najprej za sabo pusti rahlo lepljiv občutek, ki pa kasneje postane popolnoma mat. Tekstura mi je res zelo všeč. 

Obožujem tudi vonj seruma, kar se pri meni redko zgodi, ker nisem ljubiteljica odišavljenih izdelkov za nego. Vonj je nekako slakasto mandarinast. 

Serum sem uporabljala mesec in pol (s tem, da so mi ga kradli tudi nekateri drugi družinski člani) in trenutno je v zadnjih zdihljajih. Sem kar malo žalostna. To je dokaz, kako zelo mi je všeč, ker sama zelo redko porabim kakšne izdelke za nego do konca (razen krem).

Stara sem 27 let in nimam ravno veliko gub - še (upajmo na najboljše). Imam majhne gubice okrog oči in bolj definirane smejalne gubice. 

Nisem opazila nekih vidnih rezultatov glede glajenja in zmanjševanja gub. Serum mi je bolj všeč zaradi vlažilnega efekta. Moji koži je pomagal ohraniti vlažilen sloj, ki ni bil težek na koži. Všeč mi je tudi kot podlaga pod kremami za obraz, ker ostane rahlo lepljiv in se krema dobro prime na obraz in tam tudi ostane. Je zelo lahkoten serum in presenetljivo tudi pomirjujoč in odličen za občutljivo kožo. Trenutno je popolnoma zamenjal moj jojobin serum. Verjetno je tudi ohranil kožo bolj črvsto, čeprav kot sem prej omenila, s tem še nimam problemov. 

Avon Anew Nutri-advanced krema za oči

Naj bi bila globinsko hranilna nega pri vsaki starosti. Verjetno gre za univerzalno kremo za oči kot prvi korak za vlaženje vseh tipov kože. 

Kot serum ima tudi ta krema čudovito embalažo. Prozorno plastična posodica s srebrnimi detajli. 

Pokrovček je plastičen in bež s srebrnim robom. Všeč mi je tudi, da je majhna embalaža, saj jo je lažje prenašati s sabo. 

Redna cena izdelka je 17€ (trenutno ga lahko dobite za 11.90€) in vsebuje 15 ml izdelka. 

Gre za zelo bogato in gosto bež kremo. To je verjetno najgostejša krema za oči, ki sem jo kdaj koli preizkusila. Meni osebno so zelo všeč goste kreme, vendar sem bila na začetku zaskrbljena. Težko jo je bilo premikati po obrazu in še vedno je težja za razmazanje. Najbolje je, da naneste majhno količino in jo počasi stopite s toplino prstov in potapkate v kožo. 

Ko jo masirate v kožo postane bolj gladka in skoraj malo bolj oljnata. Takrat se lažje razporedi po koži. 

Majhno opozorilo. Na embalaži piše, da nežno vmasirajte v kožo in potem potapkajte, dokler se popolnoma ne vpije. Ne bi vam priporočala, da jo dolgo masirate v kožo, ker se lahko začne svaljkati. Potem je te svaljke nemogoče v celoti odstraniti iz kože. 

Priporočam vam, da jo res narahlo vmasirate samo nekaj sekund in nato potapkajte in končajte.

Najprej ostane malo lepljiva, ampak ko se vpije v kožo ustvari zelo gladek sloj na koži. 

Krema ne bo zmanjšala videza gub, jih bo pa rahlo navlažila in ustvarila zelo gladko površino za nanašanje ličil. Skoraj se mi zdi kot da vsebuje silikonski primer. 

Ima umeten vonj, ki je sicer rahel in ga sama ne voham, ko ga nanašam na kožo.

Serum mi je zelo všeč. Mogoče se ne zdi kot nekaj posebnega, ampak dober serum, ki vlaži in pomirja kožo je stalnica v moji rutini. Zelo mi je všeč tudi gladka lahkotna tekstura in seveda prijeten vonj, ki daje občutek luksuznosti med nanašanjem. Krema za oči se je na začetku zdela zelo obetavna, zaradi goste teksture, ampak se je potrebno navaditi na to in prilagoditi nanašanje. Meni se zdi, da bi morala biti malo bolj gladka in mazljiva, mogoče celo bolj oljnata. Tako bi se lažje nanašala. Krema je mogoče bolj primerna za tiste, ki ne marajo sijočih mastnih krem in si želijo gladke mat podlage okrog oči. Serum vsekakor priporočam vsem, ki iščejo kaj lahkega za pod kremo. Krema za oči mi ni všeč in je ne bi znova kupila, ker se mi zdi težja za uporabo zaradi teksture.

Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler

Eyelash curler is an absolute must have of mine. Even if I don't apply my makeup, I'll at least curl my lashes to looks semi descent. It's a must have beauty tool for anyone that isn't naturally blessed with curled lashes (if you are, good for you and I envy you). If you're lashes are short, curling them, will make them look longer. If you're mascara doesn't do anything for your lashes, curl them before you apply the mascara and the result will be mind blowing. So many of people that I know are still terrified of this tool. It's not a torture tool, but it can make your lashes look so much better. I feel like if you do your eye makeup perfect and don't have curled lashes, it just doesn't look as pretty and pulled together.

I have a Shu Uemura one. At the beginning I didn't really like it as much, because I had to get used to the shape. Now I really like it and I feel like I can get a really nice curl. I've heard good things about Shiseido curler as well. Before I also had Tana eyelashes curlers, which I'm not sure if they are still available. Those were nice too. 

Essence and Look by Bipa Spoolie

Ok, this must not seem like a must have product for all you Cara Delevingne brow owners, but everyone else needs this. I use it whenever I do my brows. I brush my brows so I can see better where to fill in and where not. My brows also like to point down and in multiple directions, so this helps me to get the better shape in general. I've hear some fun statements on Instagram like: She brushes her brows, but doesn't brush her hair. That actually happens to me a lot. Especially if I air dry my hair, I forget to brush them, but I never forget to brush my brows if I go out. Are you like that too? If you're brows are also going in multiple directions, use a spoolie and spray it with some hair spray and brush through the brows to shape and set them.

I really like my Look by Bipa spoolie, which has just the perfect density and is white, so I can easily clean it and see when it's clean. Since this one is really old and the glue doesn't hold it in place anymore I also got one from Essence, which has a comb on the other side. Comb is perfect for brushing through your lashes to prevent them from clumping up.

Tweezerman Mini Slant Tweezer Lavender

While we're on the topic of brows, let's talk about the shape of them. If you grew up in the 90s, you've learned the lesson of how horrible over plucking them can be. The brows got a lot of attention in previous year and it's all about fuller brows, so obviously you shouldn't pluck them too much. That being said, I hate those little brows that grow out of my usual line and I pluck them immediately. To tell you the truths, I'm a bit obsessed with plucking those stray brow hair. The first thing that I do when I wake up is that I look in the mirror and see if any unwanted brow has grown in the night. I also think it makes you eye makeup look cleaner.

I don't know what I was doing before I got Tweezerman tweezers. Those are seriously the best tweezers I've ever tried. They are able to pull out the tiniest hair. They are sharp and very precise. You only have to pull the hair in the way that it grows, otherwise you can tear it. What I love the most about it, is the fact that I can pull out very short hair, which I couldn't with other tweezers. The fact that they are very sharp also helps with pulling out ingrown hair. Mine are mini, because full size is more expensive and I chose the lavender shade, but they have multiple pretty designs. 

Ebelin Precision Makeup Egg and Mini Eggs

If you hate the look of foundations on your skin, because you don't like the heavy look of them, try applying them with a makeup sponge. Makeup sponges are a great tools to make your makeup look natural. You damp them and then apply foundation on with them or just use them after you've applied foundation and it will blend it into the skin and make it look a lot more natural and less heavy. I find makeup sponges to be one of the best makeup tools. They really make a difference. You can use them to blend in anything - foundation, concealer, cream blushes, cream highlighters, you can bake with loose powders... Multiple uses and the finished effect is always natural. It's also the easiest way of applying foundation. If you struggle to use brushes or hate the lines that you may have after applying it with fingers, just use makeup sponge. Anyone can do it.

I use Ebelin Precision Makeup Egg, which is the same shape as Beauty Blender (the most known makeup sponge). It has a nice foam, which is not too dense or hard and not too soft. It's the perfect hardness and it gets bigger once you run it under the water. I find that it dries nicely. It does have some stains in it, which are harder to clean, especially if you use very long lasting foundations.  I also have the minis which are so cute. I like to use these to blend my concealer under the eyes. This prevents it from looking too heavy and going into fine lines. I also previously used Nanshy makeup sponge, which was really good as well.

Makeup Cleaner

You probably know that makeup can develop a lot of bacteria. Especially if you apply it with your hands, which are not always clean or the makeup is a bit old. One thing you need to do every now and then is disinfect it. There's nothing better to do this with than an alcohol. Better yet, isopropyl alcohol, which is 99.7% alcohol and is used in medicine. It evaporates very quickly and it won't disturb your makeup formulas at all. It will just kill all the bacteria. I like to spray this all over my makeup like eye shadow palettes, blushes, highlighters and lipsticks. Especially if I'll be using it on someone else. You're usually using your makeup with brushes going back and forth. The oils and previous makeup can easily be found on your brush as well as any existing bacteria. Cleaning it also means that you'l prevent it from going bad a lot longer. Obviously you can also use this on makeup brushes, although it's better to deep clean those with shampoos or soaps. 

I already showed you how I make my brush and makeup cleaner here. 

Tangle Teezer The Original

Here I'm not talking about the fact that you need to brush your hair, but what with do you need to brush it. Tangle Teezer. It's absolutely the best hair tool for anyone that has split ends, coarse hair or nest in the back. This is the only hair brush that doesn't pull on my hair. If you're hair is really tangled, you'll feel some pulling, but it's nothing compared to regular hair brushes. You can also use it on wet hair and it's very easy to clean. It's all made out of rubber and plastic, so you can easily wash it with soap or shampoo and it doesn't have any holes. 

I've had the black one for a while now. Ever since I got it, I haven't used any other hair brush on my hair. The pink one* I got recently. It was sent to me by Avon, who also sells original Tangle Teezer in case you didn't know. I love this bright almost neon pink shade, it's perfect for spring and also makes it a lot easier to find in the darkness of my bag. The black one is about 3 years old and it's not as shiny anymore and the rubbery teeth are not as straight as they were before, but other than that it's still very nice. This is an investment that you won't regret, I promise. 

Margaret Debbs Crystal Nail File

Even if you don't paint your nails, you need to shorten them or at least shape them. Days when I used nail clippers are long gone. They can make your nails split and it's horrible to use on hard nails (not that mine are). I much prefer filing them and hear that it's actually better for your nails. You just have to use the right nail files. Diamond, glass and crystal files are a lot better than the usual old school nail files that you can get in most drugstores or just steal sand paper from your father's tool box. 

I have Margaret Debbs Crystal  nail file and it's fantastic. It's not too abrasive, but has a very fine way of filing the nails. You see small white dust falling off of your nails. That being said it's pretty powerful and you can shorten your nails in no time. These sort of files should last you a life time. Every now and then you can clean them with water and they are always like new. It's the gentles and best way of filling your nails. 

These are all the beauty tools that are completely irreplaceable in my everyday routine. I though I should mention these in a post and give them some credit. What are some of the tools that you can't live without?
