I am back after I don't know so many days I am happy to be back to my blog and writing for you. I've had good days and bad days this quarantine time and I used this product on a bad day. Sincerely I don't know pretty well the reason because I decided to use this mask. Probably because I needed a little pamper myself after so many days being sad. I love green tea because it helps to calm my skin a lot and is one of my favorite ingredients.
Features
Fresh green tea water fills the tired and rough skin with refreshing moisture mineral. Soothes and moisturizes the skin with moist vitality and suppresses active oxygen formation with catechin. The smooth cotton sheet covers the skin comfortably with superb adherence.

Conclusions
It's my first time using MAY ISLAND so I didn't know anything about the product of this brand but I can say that my first impression of this face mask was the strong alcohol aroma that this product has. It has the aroma of green tea but the aroma of alcohol, but you can also feel the aroma of green tea. I have discovered that I am not a fan of sheet masks with very strong essences. That is because I am allergic to strong odors and everything causes me a strong nasal discomfort.
It feels refreshing and although it hydrates the skin and calm I do not think it will do my skin so much good that strong aroma and you can see that among the ingredients is the alcohol denat that is quite strong for my sensitive skin but As we are in this quarantine situation where buying products is an odyssey and to buy I have to pay a high cost of shipping. The mask was fine but I did not have a very pleasant feeling so I decided not to repeat this product. I do not consider that this could be indispensable in my routine. So I prefer to try new brands or other products.I can't recommend this product because the effect is nice but nothing more.
It has been several days without publishing and sincerely I am feeling that I am going to do like Britney in 2007 (the bald is a good style). But today I am with a new post here about a great body shaper. And this is a waist trainer with thigh trimmer wich is great. I know that for several factors some of us are not fit in this moment but nobody should feel guilty for that with help there is always room for improve so If you ant to start to train and want a body or aist sharper this is the chance.
I think one of the things you can decide if you enter Shapellx is to find the best Shapellx shapewear and I guess that is possible. I know that are many people who are returning to their offices and has an importsnt meeting when you need use a classic style so probably you need or not a shapewear so this is an easy way to find a better one. By the way, when I was talking about the Britney season is due I have over 13 days without any wifi and I feel tired because good part of my work consists in the internet.
One of the things that I think is important is feeling like ourselves and if using a shapewear will make you feel good about yourself, go ahead and use it. You can find in Shapellx plus size thong shapewear which is good If you want to use certain jeans or dresses. But here I go to the other point, these are just suggestions and if you think you don't need or just don't want to use any kind of shapewear, this is also good. Remember that everything is about feeling good about yourself. I hope you can find this post informative and useful, I would like to read your opnions about these shapewears.
It's been a few days since the last time I posted my review. In fact right now I am innovating and I am writing this post from my smartphone. I have many days without Wi-Fi and the connection through my phone has not been good. I have photos for new reviews and it has become almost impossible to upload them.
For the past year my hair has this medium blond shade that turned in one strawberry blond and before the beginning of this quarantine I bleached my hair to one light ash medium blond. But after a capilar treatment the color changed to ash brown blond to orange blond and I know that with certains lights the color looks nice but I was constantly hating that chicken orange brown.
So I decided to apply a dark shade in my hair almost black and I decided for this brown. The color looks nice and blends pretty nicely with my natural hair because I didn't touched the roots. Well, that was all for the post of today I hope you enjoyed my short post. 💗
What you think of my new hair color? Please let me know in the comments~
When I started the quarantine I was really worried about my sunscreen stock because I had sunscreen like for another month. And I was just expecting a package with products from South Korea with cosmetics and there was my new tube of sunscreen. So I decided to look for local options for sunscreen. My boyfriend purchased this sunscreen months ago and he told me this was a just option so that could try this one, so I decided to purchase this sunscreen by the local brand Dernier Cosmetics. This is a Venezuelan brand that has several lines of skin care products and has a baby line too and you can find the products at drugstores.

PROs and CONs
PROs
- Good price
- Nice coconut fragrance
- Good quantity
- Lightweight texture
- Semi-matte effect
- Light white cast
- Perfect spray and clean dispenser
CONs
- Not suitable for sensitive or acné prone skin.
- This product is only available in local drugstores in Venezuela and Colombia.
Conclusions
My first impression was that it leaves a white cast on my skin. But the second was wow this is super lightweight and is absorbed super quick into my skin. I enjoy the lightweight textures because after applying sunscreen I have to apply tone-up or BB Cream or foundation so this helps to apply my makeup without looking heavy.
My skincare routine now is designed to have my skin luminous and moisturized and this has a great semi*-matte effect that complements my skincare routine because I finish my skincare with a light cream for the day that leaves my skin luminous and after that, I apply this sunscreen and has this nice semi-matte effect. Now I don´t recommend applying this sunscreen without any moisturizing cream before because the semi-matte effect can leave the skin like too dry and sincerely I prefer a more moisturizing look.
This sunscreen is designed for body and face, this is waterproof and like the consistency is so lightweight is easy to reapply. My only issue with this sunscreen is related to that can make my skin feels sometimes really dry but that happens usually when I reapply on my skin but that is due to the semi-matte effect. This sunscreen has so many good points, the spray package makes it really easy to reapply this product and is clean to apply. So If I can use this product for my face and body which is great for only $3 USD I can have 200 mL of good sunscreen which is great. I recommend this sunscreen. Of course, it leaves white cast but is light and not so heavy like other sunscreens.
It has been a while since my last review about skincare products. I started to use this product several months ago How I have used the essence of this same brand I wanted to try this toner because I read good reviews about this product too. The acid hyaluronic is one of my favorite ingredients now because it provides a good quantity of moisture to my skin, and my skin looks healthy and pretty.
This is not a sponsored review I buy this product with my own money. I just share my review for informative purposes only. The toner in my life has not been so important respecting the skincare but I guess that is because I have not found the right toner for my skincare before. In the past, I was always looking for toners with good control of sebum or acné but not with the focus of moisturizing my skin. But now I have sensitive combination skin I feel How my skin needs more moisturizing and If I don't have enough moisture my skin is gonna look dull and dry and I don´t want that.
Features
A moisture-bomb toner contains 3 different types of hyaluronic acid that fills up your dry and tired skin with moisture.
Light texture toner which is absorbed into the skin quickly.
Supplies fresh moisture to dried skin and maintains skin to be moist for a long time.
What is hyaluronic acid?
Chemistry and physicochemical properties. HA is a non-sul-phated GAG and is composed of repeating polymeric disaccharides of D-glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine linked by a glucuronidic β (1→3) bond.1
In humans, HA is most abundant in the skin, accounting for 50% of the total body HA, the vitreous of the eye, the umbilical cord, and synovial fluid, but it is also present in all tissues and fluids of the body, such as skeletal tissues, heart valves, the lung, the aorta, the prostate, tunica albuginea, corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum of the penis.1
The biological function of HA. Over the past two decades there was considerable evidence presented that unraveled the functional role of HA in molecular mechanisms and indicated the potential role of HA for the development of novel therapeutic strategies for many diseases. Functions of HA include the following: hydration, lubrication of joints, a space filling capacity, and the framework through which cells migrate. The synthesis of HA increases during tissue injury and wound healing and HA regulates several aspects of tissue repair, including activation of inflammatory cells to enhance immune response.1

💦 Packaging + Price: I like the packaging because it is clear, simple, and easy to carry in my skincare bag because it is made of plastic. The price is around $12 to $17 USD all depends on the website.

PROs and CONs
PROs
- Good price

I started to share little about the chemical aspect of Hyaluronic Acid but the reason behind was this is naturally produced by our own organism. Obviously when I talk about the ingredient in this toner like in almost all the skincare products is synthetic. It is important to know that in our skin this is the key to main the hydration in our skin. And due that is that the skin looks healthy and refreshed after applying a product with this ingredient. The benefits of this ingredient are that heps to the skin heal faster, helps to maintain in good condition our skin barrier and that occurs because this helps to store the hydration.
This toner contains good ingredients like Glycerin and Panthenol that are amazing providing moisturizing to the skin too. So this toner is a great option If you are looking moisture for your skin. Now I want to share my personal experience with this toner.
I started to use this product for around five months ago my first impression was this is so lightweight is like a liquid jelly toner. Has that jelly feeling but is not so dense and when is applied feels so lightweight and I love that type of texture so I can feel comfortable applying the other products of my routine. The absorption is quick so I don´t lose anything of time and in just two minutes I can start to apply my essence or serum depending on the day.
This toner has a content of 200 mL but you can find a version of 400 mL my only issue with this is that using regularly every day is hard for to me use the 200 mL in less than 6 months because this product expires after opened in 6 months which is sad.
For my sensitive combination skin, this product is perfect because it provides me enough quantity of moisture that I am looking for but doesn´t feel heavy on my skin. By the way, If I want more moisture I apply another layer but like I am going to apply a moisturizing cream (light but moisturizing in the end) in my routine this step is not necessary. This is the perfect toner If you have normal, oily, or combination sensitive skin like mine. Talking about sensitivity this toner is perfect for those days when my skin is more sensitive than usual like I am in my premenstrual time. My advice is not to apply this toner like the only source of moisturizing you need something to seal this moisturizing effect.
On another side I apply this toner with my clean, washed bare hands for me is a waste using cotton just a few drops are enough for my skin face and my neck. I need to repurchase this product again. Now there is a version plus and I want to try that one and of course I hope to share my review with you. After several months using it I can say that my skin feels and looks more hydrated, smoother, and brighter.

“I can’t explain myself, I’m afraid, sir,’ said Alice, ‘because I’m not myself, you see.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures In Wonderland
Hi Everyone!
I am here with a new book review I´ve spent so many days without Wi-Fi so that has been the principal reason why I've not published for several days. But I am here with a review of one of my favorite books. This time is the turn of Alice's Adventures In Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. As some of you probably already know I am a huge fan of Fantasy is my favorite literary genre so I enjoy this book so much.
The first thing I need to say is that I have read several times before, but this is the first time I read my own paperback. This was a gift of my friend Natasha (momo) and she gave me this wonderful Spanish edition as a gift and I feel so happy because this gift was so amazing. Recently I read this book and I needed to share with you my feelings about this amazing book.ヽ(o＾▽＾o)ノ
About this book
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a work of children's literature by the English mathematician and author, the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, written under the pseudonym, Lewis Carroll. It tells the story of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit-hole into a fantasy realm populated by grotesque figures like talking playing cards and anthropomorphic creatures. The Wonderland described in the tale plays with logic in ways that have made the story of lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the most characteristic examples of the genre of literary nonsense.
REVIEW
I read this book recently and like a huge fan of Fantasy It feels so amazing to read this book because is like fresh air on my face. Probably many of you already know about this story because is very popular but goes when a little girl called Alice falls asleep and after that, she wakes up and starts to follow a little white bunny and she falls out in a very long hole where she spends hours and hours falling until finally, she wakes up in a world of complete fantasy where there are many interesting characters.
This is a book with amazing quotes and Incredibles metaphors. And even you can find a character that is a little obsessed with metaphors but in fact, this book is about metaphors. This book is how you can feel yourself in this crazy world and how we are completely changing one time per time. We can believe that we are adults and that we are all grown up but in fact, in certain situations, we can feel again like little kids running without any idea about what to do next and that despair is something real.
“How puzzling all these changes are! I'm never sure what I'm going to be, from one minute to another.”
If you read this book comprehending that the journey that has Alice is all a metaphor about real-life everything changes completely and you can enjoy the book better. This book has a lot of nonsense but life is a bit of nonsense most of the time. And talking about the time I want to share another great quote.
“If you knew Time as well as I do,’ said the Hatter, ‘you wouldn’t talk about wasting it. It’s him.”
And like these you can find many other amazing quotes with a little strange story. The fantasy in this book is really good because you start to imagine a group of cards being King and Queen. But for me, the most important part is that this book gives you life lessons and I think that everyone who loves books and fantasy should read it.
“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?’ ‘That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,’ said the Cat. ‘I don’t much care where —’ said Alice. ‘Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,’ said the Cat.”
