A huge change & Kiko's candy split capsule collection
הגיע הזמן לשינוי...
אני כותבת את הבלוג שלי כבר כמעט 5.5 שנים, תקופה מכובדת לכל הדעות. וכשאני חושבת על זה, מרבית השנים הוא נכתב בעצם מספרד ולא מישראל, ועדיין המשכתי לכתוב אותו בעברית- השפה שתמיד תהיה שפת האם שלי. לאורך השנים "שיחקתי" מדי פעם עם המחשבה של לכתוב אותו בספרדית או באנגלית ובכך להתחיל לפנות גם לקהל של אוהבות ביוטי בעולם, אבל תמיד החשש מלכתוב בשפה שהיא לא השפה הטבעית שלי התגבר ונשארתי באזור הבטוח והמוכר של העברית.
לקראת סופה של עוד שנה הרצון לשנות ולהתרענן סוף סוף גבר עלי, והחלטתי לקפוץ למים. כדי שאתן, הקוראות הנאמנות שלי, תוכלנה להמשיך ולהנות מהבלוג, אני בוחרת לכתוב אותו באנגלית ולא בספרדית. ואני באמת מקווה שתמשיכו לבקר ולקרוא כאן, כי לא משנה באיזו שפה אני כותבת- הסקירות שלי תמשכנה להיות מעניינות וכיפיות!
A huge change...
I'm writing my blog for almost 5.5 years now, a respectful period by any means. And when I'm thinking about it, the majority of these years it has been written from Spain and not from Israel and still I continued to write it in Hebrew- the language that forever will be my mother's tongue. Over the years I have often played with the thought of writing the blog in Spanish or English and by that turning to a wider international audience of beauty lovers around the world, but the fear of writing in a different language than my natural one was stronger and I've stayed in the Hebrew comfortable and known zone.
But as we approach the end of yet another year, the need to change and "freshen up" got stronger, and now I'm finally "jumping into the water". In order for you, my loyal Israeli readers to be able to continue enjoying my blog, I'll be writing in English and not in Spanish. I do hope you will continue to read my blog, no matter in which language it is!

Kiko's candy split capsule collection

As part of Kiko's 20 years celebration they've launched the Candy split capsule collection, which is all about (how surprising)- sweetness!
As per usual, I wanted to buy all of it but managed to restrain myself (more or less) to the following products:
Candy split serum

I love creams, and from a very young age I've been maintaining a beauty regimen which includes cleaning my face morning and night, using serum, eye cream, face cream and SPF, but I'm by no means loyal and I always like to change it up and trying new products. That's why the moment I saw this beautiful product from the collection I had to buy it.
Inside this beautiful packaging there's a very light and nourishing serum, which does give that brightening and glowing effect I love. I think that it's nice to find such a good serum without spending a lot of money and I enjoy using it every morning.

Candy split makeup blender
Oh, makeup sponges. Since the invention of the Beauty Blender that changed the way we apply makeup, there has been so many attempts to imitate it, and none of them was as successful as the original.

So here's one more imitation for you, this time in the shape of macaroons. And I don't get it. I understand that in the spirit of this candy collection it was logical to create a sponge in the shape of a macaroon and not an egg. But my God is it unusable!
And I've tried. I really have. But no matter how I tried to apply my foundation with it, it just didn't work. So unfortunately this is a sweet yet unsuccessful product for me.

This one was love at first sight. Which is a bold saying for me, a powder highlight addict.
But this creamy highlighter is simply beautiful. It has that perfect combination of peachy pink with hints of gold that gives the most flattering illumination.
I prefer to apply and blend it with the tip of my finger, that way I have a lot more control and it allows me to build it up nicely.

Candy split lip scrub
I have to say that the Barcelona weather has been pretty kind to my lips, and normally they don't feel dry or choppy as they feel when I visit oh so dry Madrid for example.
However using a lot of liquid lipsticks lately has been taking it's toll and the candy split lip scrub came just in time for me. I have developed a "night lip routine" which includes removing my lipstick carefully with micellar water, scrubbing my lip gently with the candy split lip scrub, patting them dry and applying a rich balm.

Happy to say it's been working, and have I mentioned the great strawberry scent?
Candy split lips mattifier
I have to admit that this is kind of an unnecessary product, yet it intrigued me enough to buy it.
Lips mattifier. Basically a transparent gel which mattifies cream lipsticks and gives them a matte finish instead.

The idea is nice. Gimmicky but nice. Useful though? Not so much, at least not for me.
But it does do what it promise, so if by any chance you've been looking for such a product, know that this one does work.

My endless love story with make up brushes. This time they are pink and gold and come in the sweetest bag- a foundation brush, a powder brush and a concealer/eyeshadow brush.
I love this kit, I think it's useful and the brushes are nice quality and this can also be a really good gift for someone.
I will leave you with the image video of the collection and with my usual recommendation to always visit Kiko's stores if you get the chance, I truly think that their's no competition for the price - quality this brand offers.
