What's in our travel bags + some reviews

Hi everyone!
Here we are again with our 2nd video: What's in our travel bags! We went visiting New York from December 25 to December 28. The city is gorgeous. There were lights everywhere and the stores closed at 2AM! It was crazy. We now understand why we call NY as the city that never sleeps! Spending 4 days over there wasn't enough for visiting every single thing. So we planned of returning to NYC soon! :)

So, as we mentioned, we did a video on what's in our travel bags. We tried to not carry a lot of things with us, because we needed to get some shoppings done & we needed some spaces in our luggages to put everything in.



Some pictures for a close up:

On the left: Clarins - Powder blush #10 Rose pastel
Cinny's fav blush of all time. It's a really nice light peachy pink colour. It gives a natural finish.
On the right: Annabelle - #1500 Blushon
Monica's blush. It's a really nice pink mix purple blush. You can blend it under the cheek's bones and it works just like a bronzer with a tint of pink or you can put in on the cheek's bones themselves. This blush is shimmery and it's pretty pigmented.




Rimmel - Stay matte pressed powder #001 transparent
This transparent powder helps controling oil/sebum. Good for people who have oily or combination skin type & it does really give a matte finish. :) It's really affordable in drugstore.







E.L.F- Contouring blush & Bronzing powder
The blush part has too much gold shimmers in it and it's not pigmented. After application, the cheeks look chunky. However, the bronzer part is wonderful. It also contains gold shimmers and it's super pigmented. Monica likes to apply it under her cheek's bones so that her face looks slimer.
The first time we use the Cetaphil moisturizer, we had a good impression of the product. However, after a few uses, we discovered that it started to make our face shiny and oily by the end of the day. Our skin no longer absorbs the product and that's really disapointing. Then, the BB Cream is great. It gives a light to medium coverage depending on how many layers you put on your face, but it can accentuate your dry skin, especially if you have dry skin type. =/ Then, we have been using the Nivea Soft moisturizer for ages! It works well during winter time. Finally, the Cliniderm is an amazing moisturizer. It doesn't contain much chemicals in it and it's excellent for people who have dry skin type, especially if you have eczema during winter time. It's fragrance free and doesn't irritate sensitive skin. However, this product is thick. Our way to use this cream is to take some in our hands and to spray some water and mix them together. Like so, the cream spreads much easier. 
On the left: Shiseido - Ultra sun protection Lotion SPF 50
On the middle: Nivea - Dry Confidence anti-perspirant
On the right: Garnier - Fructis Triple nutrition leave-in detangling
This product helps protecting your hair during winter time. It smells just like the shampoo.

Clinique - Duo brown eyeshadow palette
The palette is just like a mirror, so cool!
