Mail of the week (December 13 - 17)

  My prize from Tee's giveaway: I was lucky enough to win one of the Wet N Wild Limited Edition Coloricon Eye Kit! I received in the shade Snow Sprite. Swatches and FOTDs coming soon! Thanks Tee! =D

Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion + Sunscreen SPF 15: I was sent their new lotion with SPF 15 to review, along with some samples of the original formula. I have already reviewed the original formula almost one year ago, and let me tell you, this stuff is unbeatable! It's seriously the best lotion I have ever tried.

  My prize from Marcelle Express Your True Colours contest: I won one of the 600 Rouge Xpression Lipstick. I received the shade Delirium (pearl). It's a bit too orangey for me, but I bet my mother will like it (=

 Package from Annabelle Cosmetics: They kindly sent me this amazing package because I wrote an article for their blog (it's not up yet, but stay tuned!) Here's what was included:

• Smoothliner in Bronze
• Liquid Eyeliner in Black Out
• Glitterama Liquid Eyeliner in Plutonium
• Rouge Velours Lipstick in Sienna (pearl)
• Volume Lip Lip Plumping Gloss in Poetic Mauve
• Volume Lip Lip Plumping Gloss in Iced Spice

I've been totally spoiled! Thank you so much Virginie! =D

Review: Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion

Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion

18,00$

The claims:

• Finest natural ingredients together with a quantum advance in skin hydration
• Regeneration is fully realized within a few days

How to use: 

Apply small amount, initially every 2-8 hoursuntil moisture level improves, then just once every 12-24 hours.

Pros:

• paraben free
• fragrance free
• hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic
• can be used on face, hand and body
  
• natural ingredients
• great for eczema prone skin
  
• a little goes a long way
• promply absorbed into skin
  
• doesn't leave a greasy residue
  

Cons:

• doesn't moisturize immediately
• the formula is a little too light and watery
• expensive (18$ for 4 oz (120 ml)
  

What I think:

First of all, I want you to know that I didn't use this lotion all over my body. I targeted my face and the areas of my body that were suffering from excessive dryness and eczema. This product worked wonders on my body, but it didn't get rid of the dry patches on my face, I don't understand why.
