Much more than a makeup mirror with lights, this is my review of the Simple Human makeup mirror with lights and Alexa build-in! Just this mirror is so worth having by itself, but all Alexa features make it even better!

I’m talking about the Simple Human Sensor Mirror Hi Fi, which is much more than just a makeup mirror with lights. But first, let me tell you why it’s such a life changer for me!

So, if you already know me, you know I wear glasses and I have myopia and if you don’t know me yet, nice to e-meet you! I’m Manu Luize and I have veeery high myopia and I wear glasses almost 24/7, so to me it’s incredibly difficult to do my makeup without a magnifying mirror.

I’m a beauty blogger and content creator, I LOVE to do my makeup, but having high myopia, I discovered many years ago a good magnifying mirror was actually a need for me. It makes doing my makeup so much easier! And that’s something I think is my biggest advice when someone asks me how do I manage to do my makeup without glasses. 😉

But now, back to this magic makeup mirror by Simple Human: it’s a 5x magnifying mirror with lights in different tones, it has a motion sensor (so it turns on the lights when you get near it and, of course, it turns off by itself when you’re done and move out) and it also has Alexa build-in the mirror.

So many great functions in only one item! That makes it so versatile and that’s why I said it’s much more than just a makeup mirror with lights. So now, let me tell you about them all.

• Simple Human makeup mirror with lights, a 5X Magnifying mirror

I had tried many different mirrors and 5x magnifying is the one I find the best one. Less than this is not good enough to help me see every detail and more than this makes it difficult to have a good idea of how the makeup is going. I even used a 10x magnifying mirror, but I prefer 5x much more for doing my makeup.

A 5x magnifying makeup mirror is good, but the Simple Human Sensor Hi Fi mirror is amazing! It has a motion sensor that makes the light go on when you get near it. And let’s talk about the light in this makeup mirror: it has tru-lux, like a true light, which means it will show our makeup the real way. No more doing your makeup home and finding out to be a different thing when you’re outside.

• Light shades of the Sensor Mirror Hi Fi:

With this Simple Human makeup mirror with lights we can choose the right light we want. Between day light for sunny days or cloudy days, office light, night light and you can even create a custom set up yourself.

This is great to do our makeup in the light which we will be, let me explain you: did it ever happen to you: you do your makeup with the normal bedroom light and you go out for a dinner in the evening, when you see yourself at the mirror inside the restaurant your makeup doesn’t look like you intended. Or the opposite, you do it in the house and when you can out in the sunlight it’s not very visible?

When, that’s when a mirror like this is great, you can do your makeup with the light and ambience of where you’re going to be. Or if you prefer, you can use the brightest white light to makeup and switch to night light to check how it’s going in real life in the evening.

• Makeup mirror with lights and Alexa built-in:

Like I mentioned, this sensor mirror is full of functions and advantages, but having Alexa built-in the mirror makes it much more fun. You can have all Alexa functions inside your makeup mirror with lights.

To me, do my makeup is always connected with music: I love to listen to music when I’m doing my makeup. And well, having Alexa available to help is very handy!

To find my favourite music while I’m busy applying the eyeliner, to jump that music I’m not a big fan of while I’m applying my mascara makes the process much faster and funnier. How many times did I stop to do my makeup just to go change the music on my phone that was lost somewhere in the bedroom? 😅

I always find it great to get the weather forecast while doing my makeup and even asking Alexa what time is, maybe having it available and easy all the time can help me not be late while I do my makeup. 😉

The sound quality is great and you can regulate the volume very easily just touching it by the side of this part that you can see in the photo above.

The Alexa works just like in any other Alexa device, you easily connect to your Amazon account and it’s all set up. The big advantage is that you have it inside your mirror, so one less device to have.

The Simple Human Sensor Mirror Hi Fi has a very modern design and all its functions make it a great mirror. To me, it’s for sure the best makeup mirror with lights I have ever used!

A product that I believe is definitely worth the investment, since it’s something you will use daily and not just for makeup. It’s now definitely part of my routine and a great of it, like I mentioned, I love to do my makeup and it makes it easier and more fun to do with this amazing makeup mirror.

It’s been quite a while I have a new favourite highlighter and it’s from a Pixi highlighter palette: the Rachh loves Pixi palette. This palette is called The Layers Highlighting Palette.

Since I first had my eyes on the “Tee” colour of this highlighter palette, it was love at first sight. After I tried it, it became a favourite of mine! So here’s my Rachh loves Pixi highlighter palette review, that has 5 different highlighter shades.

• Pixi highlighter palette: The Layers Highlighting Palette review

This cute Pixi highlighter palette was created in collaboration with Rachh Loves and it has 5 different shades of highlighters or multi-use glow shades. They all can be used also as eyeshadows.

• 2 base highlighters: “Tee” and “Clutch”, which are the bigger ones in the palette.

• 3 custom highlighters: “Lace”, “Zipper”and “Knit”, which are the small ones.

The idea of this highlighter palette is that you can use a single colour or mix them to create a custom colour just for you. Even though, I loved the color “Tee” so much that I think it’s a great colour on its own.

Bellow you can check my swatches of the 5 highlight shades of this Pixi palette, this photo was taken without flash.

“Clutch” and “Tee” are the 2 lighter colours, “Clutch”is the lighter shade, perfect for a day to day highlighter. “Tee”is a little stronger in colour and pigmentation, so it could be for a more festive look or bolder looks.

Truth be told, I love a good highlighter and I’ve been using “Tee” as a highlighter on my daily makeup. The colour is just beautiful and it gives such a beautiful glow to the skin, making your makeup pop.

All the shades are very easy to apply, they are all powder, but with a kind of a creamy texture.

You can take a look at this highlighter palette in video, in this quick makeup tutorial in which I apply the “Tee” highlighter from Pixi (look at those cheeks!! 😍):

I just loved this color so much! I’m sure I’m wearing this highlighter in many of my last photos on Instagram @manuluize 😅, but here’s another photo so you can check Tee’s effects on my skin:

The 3 custom highlighter colours in this palette actually are great as eyeshadows if you’re going to wear them by themselves. Or you can play and mix them to create a custom highlight shade.

“Knit” is the darker shade of them all, that could be an interesting highlighter for deep skin tones, but also such a beautiful colour as an eye shadow.

Where to shop it:

You can find this Pixi highlighter palette on Asos and also LookFantastic.

Real human hair extensions are much more delicate than synthetic hair. It is important that you follow the proper procedures for keeping them in good shape. 

The washing routine only takes a few minutes; you can even do it before going to bed. With a regular maintenance plan, it is easy to promote a long life and healthy locks. 

Today, I thought of sharing some essential tips and tricks that will help to keep your wefts beautiful so that they can keep you beautiful too:    

1. Detangling is a Must, Before Washing

After every use, you can use a soft bristle brush to brush out any tangles of your hair extension. I never forget to start brushing from the bottom and then work my way up.

Trust me, this step makes sure that the hair is not detached from the weft and detangling is done without causing much of the hair fall.

Tip: I always make sure that I never wet my tangled clip in hair extensions before brushing it thoroughly.

2. Washing to Hydrate

Please remember that you should wash them gently and soak them in your bathroom sink in lukewarm water. I always recommend you to stir pea-sized amounts of shampoo into the basin or sink. Always choose a gentle, clarifying shampoo which does not have many additives (like sulfate or alcohol).

Unlike our natural hair, clip in remy hair extensions can’t produce natural oil to keep the hair hydrated or moisturized. For that, I use a high-quality conditioner and a leave-in conditioner for the next step. 

Note: I always rub the length of the extension (not scrub) and then rinse it thoroughly with cold and clean water for sealing in the conditioner’s effects. I strongly recommend you not to brush extension while they’re wet. 

Also, I never blow dry my clip in hair extensions. It’s a strict ‘no-no’ for me.

3. The Key Is To Divide and Work

For removing any dirt or build-up, I always tie my hair extensions in a bunch (using my scrunchies) and then clean all at once. To get rid of products, I use my fingers tips and gently run it through my extensions. 

If I have to work with a lot of extensions, I prefer to divide my wefts into smaller groups, and then submerge the rest of the extensions into a soapy bath. 

These steps make sure that I quickly finish with all the cleaning part without creating much of a mess.

4. Comb after Drying

After removing them from the sink, I gently squeeze out all the excess water and place my clip in hair extensions on a clean towel on a sturdy surface.

I always spread my wefts flat as possible and try not to stack on top of one another. Once the hair extensions are partially dry, I use a wide-tooth comb and a little leave-in conditioner and then brush lightly through them to eliminate any leftover tangles. 

Note: I regularly or periodically touch to see if they are dry. I let them dry overnight or even longer to make sure it’s dry.  The process of air drying doesn’t extract the moisture and keep our hair detangled and manageable.

Do not over moisturize the extensions as it will grow oily and flat. I use a dab of leave-in conditioner once -in- a- while.

Some Hygienic Practices That Can Make Clip- In Hair Last Longer

Here, I will explain you some of my current practices that have helped me a lot in keeping my clip in hair extensions lustrous and bouncy. 

1. Little extra care never hurts! So I suggest that you wash your extensions after 6 to 8 wears. If you don’t use them often, don’t clean frequently.
2. Use a regular soft hair tie and twist it around the clip base in hair extension (about 1 to 2 inches below the weft and clip). And then place them in the box safely.
3. Don’t worry if you don’t have the original box; you can easily slide your hair extensions into a study bag or other container. It makes sure that your freshly washed extensions do not get frizzy and tangle. 
4. I always use a heat protectant spray before styling my natural hair weft. Therefore, I generously apply the product all over the weft’s surface or at least on the areas where I am planning on curling or straightening.

Winding-up

I can assure you that if you invest in some specialty combs, conditioner, and shampoo, your clip in hair extensions will last longer than you could imagine.

Caring doesn’t require you to be a professional; it requires a little bit of your attention and care.

I hope my tips have helped you.

Happy hair means happy you! 

I tried the Neuro Sensi Mask by Arkana Skincare, a night face mask for sensitive skin and now you can check my full review about it.

The Neuro Sensi Mask is part of a new line of products by Arkana, a polish skincare brand that I already tried some products before (and that I loved!), and this night mask was developed for vascular and hypersensitive skin.

My skin can be quite sensitive, it can get irritated and red easily, so I thought this was a great mask to try in any occasion that my skin could be more sensitive.

I’m usually very careful with the products that I try at my skincare routine, but a little more than a month ago, my skin got very irritated with some products I was trying or it had some allergic reaction to some or any of the ingredients, so I stopped what I was trying and went back to good products I already tried and liked, so I also decided to try this Arkana facial mask for sensitive skin.

My review of the Neuro Sensi Mask by Arkana Skincare:

The Neuro Sensi Mask is an overnight mask (the kind of face mask you apply in the evening and sleep with it) that is targeted to do a night repair of hypersensitive and capillary skin, helping with the typical problems of this type of skin. It’s supposed to bring daily soothing and comfort and it’s allergen-free fragrance.

The application of this mask is recommended to be night care for those whom has hypersensitive and capillary skin, it can be active support of therapies of rosacea-prone skin, it can also be temporary care after esthetic treatments and it can be used in a daily application instead of a night cream.

As I mentioned, I started to use it when my skin was feeling irritated and it had many red spots (which is not very common on my skin, unless it had some allergy reaction or was irritated by some product) and it definitely helps to soothing and comfort the skin!

From the first day, I noticed that in the morning after my skin was calmer and less red than in the evening. And it was definitely helping my skin to recover from its redness during the following days.

Since I had some irritation on my skin, this was the only product that I was applying after washing my face in the evening. It made my skin feel soft and it helped to improve the redness in my skin caused by the irritation.

The texture of the Neuro Sensi Mask is very light and easy to apply. The product is easily absorbed by the skin. Once you apply it, you don’t feel the skin grassy at all and I have oily skin during the hot summer in Milan, so I would say it’s great even if you have oily/combination skin.

Overall, I’m very happy with the results of the Neuro Sensi Mask by Arkana, it helped my skin recover while keeping it smooth and with a silky texture. Luckily my skin it’s back at its normal!

It could be definitely a great night care option for after treatments, and for sensitive skin. I’ll keep using this night mask whenever my skin is more sensitive or when it needs some help to feel healthier after any irritation or redness.

I’ve been using the Hydrating Milky Cleanser by Pixi Beauty for about 3 months, so I think it’s safe to say I really liked this facial cleanser! I mean, I even forgot to try other cleansers I had in stock to try and review. 🙈

First thing I should say, I have combination/oily skin and I was a little afraid of trying a hydrating cleanser, but truth be told, even oily skin needs hydration! And everyone with this type of skin must be a little less afraid of hydrating products. I would even say that for a couple of years, from the time when I started to care more about hydrating and moisturizing better my skin, I think it’s actually less oily than it was before.

So I can say that even combination/oily skin could benefit from this cleanser, especially because I’ve been using it for so many months, that I can say it didn’t make my skin any oilier even in the long term.

• Hydrating Milky Cleanser (U$17,99) – Pixi (Review)

Pixi Beauty came out with this skincare collection called Hydrating Milky with many skincare products enriched with coconut, jojoba and probiotics. This line is suitable for all skin times.

And one of the first steps is the Hydrating Milky Cleanser by Pixi (to be used first in the morning and after the makeup remover in the evening). It’s suitable to be used in your morning and night skincare routine and that’s how I’ve been using it.

It has a creamy texture that gets really soft when in contact with the water. You can use it by itself to wash your face or you can use it with any face washing device you’re used to using (like I did in the video in the end of this article).

Buy it here: Milky Cleanser by Pixi (U$17,99).

It gives me a clean sensation and a soft feeling, it didn’t make the skin oily, not even after using it for 3 months.

I usually prefer foam cleansers, but I must say I was surprised by this Pixi cleanser and I fell in love with it.

It has some fragrance in its formulation, but I feel it very lightly. It didn’t cause me any irritation and I think it’s a very light smell, so it’s definitely not annoying like in skincare products with strong fragrance.

I’ve been also trying the Hydrating Milky Makeup remover from the same line (which melts makeup, but feel like an oil-based product when you apply it to the skin), so I think the creamy Hydrating Milky Cleanser is a great next step to remove all the oil from the makeup remover and clean well your skin.

By the way: never forget to use a cleanser product after makeup remover, to make sure your skin is clean and ready to apply any other skincare products.

Here’s a video in which I used most of the Hydrating Milky collection by Pixi, including the Hydrating Milky Cleanser, so you can even see its texture while in contact with the water and while applying it to my skin:

Have you ever heard of an eyelash curler with heat and always wondered if it really works? So I have good news: it works!

I tested an Eyelash curler with heat by the brand Anlan, which’s called Electric Eyelash Curler and I really liked the final effect on my eyelashes! Check out my full review of this product, in addition to checking the comparison of the big difference of using only the eyelash mascara against using the mascara + the electric eyelash curler.

• Eyelash curler with heat: how to use an eyelash curler heated

This is the eyelash curler that heats that I tried (and I loved it!), This one is by the brand Anlan, but I also saw other models from other brands that look like this model.

For you to see the difference that this eyelash curler made in my eyes, look at the “magic” below!

On the left side of the photo, you can see my lashes after applying mascara + the electric eyelash curler, super curled and visible. But on the right side of the photo, my eyelashes are just with the eyelash mascara, whatever they are, they hardly appear, because they are “straight”.

To check out how to use this electric eyelash curler with heat and check out all its effects on video, I filmed a video showing all the details of how to use an eyelash curler with heat and what are its effects on the lashes:

To watch the video directly on Youtube, click on Eyelash Curler with heat (Full review and how to use it).

If you liked this electric eyelash curler, you can get it with 40% off with the Anlan coupon code “anlan0707” (anlan.co) to buy this product until 7/31.

The use of this eyelash curler is very simple, as you can see in the video and the results are incredible!

It will definitely be a beauty device that I will use more often from now on and that will be part of my makeup routine.

I loved the effect because as my lashes are very straight, when using this curler, I’ve got such a beautiful effect!

X-Ingredients Labo Suisse is a line of personalized skincare in which you can do a combination of different active ingredients to create something specific to your skin needs.

Developed by Labo Suisse, a Swiss skincare brand, this new line makes personalized cosmetics easy to do at home and to adapt to your skin.

I tried my personalized skincare by X-Ingredients and here you can read my honest review of the treatment I created for myself using the facial cream of this line.

• Review of X-Ingredients – Labo Suisse

Just so you can understand better about this innovative line created by Labo Suisse, how does the X-Ingredients line work?

The first step is to choose a base for your cream. You can choose between:

• Base R (40ml): Rich Emulsion (for Dry and very dry skin)

• Base L (40ml): Light Emulsion (for normal and combination skin)

• Base O (40ml): Oil-free Emulsion (for combination and oily skin) – The one I tried for this review (check my review below).

• Base E: Eye and lip contour emulsion

After you choose the most adequate base to your skin, you can choose the active ingredients that are called X-Ingredients. There are 10 different strong active ingredients + 5 extra help ingredients (each has 10ml).

All active ingredients are in high concentration, so you always need to mix them with the base emulsion before applying it to your skin.

You can choose the ingredients according to what your skin needs at the moment. Some of the ingredients’ functions are anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, to fight dark spots and dry skin. You can check them all on their website.

Then you can mix up to 3 X-Ingredients to your chosen base and you will have your personalized skincare. You can mix up to 3 drops of each ingredient with your base, when you use all 3 ingredients at once, use up to 2 drops of each one.

Sometimes our skin needs more hydration, sometimes just some anti-aging treatment or a dark spots treatment. So you can use the same base emulsion to mix different active ingredients according to what your skin needs.

Just remember that for a treatment to make a good effect on the skin, usually, it needs at least a month of use (I mean for any skincare treatment in general, not just this one and that’s why I always try any skincare product for at least a month before reviewing it here on the blog).

Now that you already know how the X-Ingredients by Labo Suisse works, I can finally get into the review of what I chose to my skin.

• Review of X-Ingredients by Labo Suisse: Base O and my anti-aging treatment

If you are new here on the blog, I have combination/oily skin and especially during the summer, my skin gets oiler. Also, I’m 30 years old, so you can have a better idea of my skin.

So my choice as a base was the Base O (the oil-free option), that was developed especially for combination and oily skin.

For my X-Ingredients:

• As Strong Ingredients I have:

– X-Ingredient 1: 7 Growth Factors to fight Wrinkles and Microrelief

– X-Ingredient 5: Vitamin C, Lightening Peptide to fight Dull Skin

• As Extra Help I have:

– X-Ingredient Vitamin E, Resveratrol for Anti-Oxidant Detoxifying Effect

So I chose strong and extra help ingredients to work as an anti-aging treatment and for brighter skin.

I’ve been using this personalized treatment for little more than a whole month now, so I can review it well and I must say I really liked it!

So basically I’ve been using this skincare product morning and night, everyday. Every time I try a different skincare product, I change just one product at a time, so I can know what’s working or not.

The first thing I really liked about the X-Ingredients (apart from being able to personalize my treatment) is the texture! I love the texture of my combination: the Base oil-free + the active ingredients.

• How to mix the X-Ingredients by Labo Suisse:

The instructions say you should mix 2 pumps of the base + the X-ingredients of your choice (up to 3 different active ingredients). For me, this quantity is enough to apply on my face, neck and even on the décolleté area. Which is great, so you don’t forget to apply the cream on those areas.

I usually mix all the 3 active ingredients into my cream and apply it morning and night. The base is really light and it doesn’t make my skin oily, it’s also quickly absorbed by the skin.

It has a rich and silky texture, that feels great and kind of luxurious when you apply it, I loved it! My combination also has a very light fragrance that I’ve been loving.

The process of mixing all ingredients is something very easy and quick. So if you thought it was complicated to have personalized skincare every time, in real life, it’s not.

• My final thoughts:

My skin feels smooth, hydrated and not oily after applying it. Luckily, I don’t have strong lines nor strong wrinkles, but during this month of using the products, I also didn’t notice any new lines.

In the morning, since it’s easily absorbed by the skin, you can apply your sunscreen and makeup as normal after this cream. I didn’t have any problem applying anything after the cream.

When I apply it with my night routine, I feel my skin super soft and with a velvet texture in the next morning.

This is definitely a product I’ll continue to use for my skincare routine.

This product was sent me by the brand but, as always, all reviews on this blog show my real and honest opinions about any product after I used it for at least a month.

The first time I saw a soothing gel Aloe Vera I thought it could be such a cool texture for a body product! Something I haven’t tried before and that I was so excited to try.

It was a couple of years ago when my sister went to Hong Kong and I made a list of skincare and body products that I’d love to try so she could buy them for me. And this soothing gel with aloe vera by SNP brand was one of the products I first tried from there.

• Review: Soothing gel Aloe vera by SNP

The first time I saw a soothing gel Aloe vera I thought it could be such a cool texture for a body product! At that time, this kind of texture wasn’t so common (and I think it still isn’t so common here), this gel texture looks like a hair gel texture!

This texture makes this soothing gel with aloe vera a very fresh product and that’s why I’m loving to “rediscover” it this summer.

SNP is a Korean beauty brand that creates, of course, K-beauty products, and this soothing gel seems to be just one of their long list of products, but I haven’t tried any other products from this brand yet.

But getting back at my review of the Soothing gel Aloe vera by SNP, I really liked this product! And here’s why:

The Soothing gel Aloe vera by SNP has 97% of Aloe Vera in its formula and it has two main goals: to moisturize the skin and to refresh it after UV light exposure during the day.

That’s why it’s specially a great product for the body during the summer, not only because it will refresh your skin after sun exposure, but also it will calm your skin.

Aloe Vera is used in many after sun exposure products because it can soothe the skin, calm swelling and stimulate circulation.

On the photo above, you can check the product texture on the left and my skin just after I applied this gel on the right image.

This body gel has a light texture and it’s quickly absorbed by the skin. It also doesn’t leave your skin feeling “sticky”, which is a great thing special when it’s a warm day.

When you apply it, you definitely have a refreshing feeling on the skin and once it’s absorbed by the skin, you can feel it smoother and with a nice texture.

So I’ll be definitely using it more during this summer, especially because the weather can be quite warm over here.

Unfortunately, I don’t remember the price of this product since I had it for quite a while now. But overall, I definitely think it’s an interesting product to try and that I will probably continue to use for a long time!

I tried to look for it online in Europe or the US, but I only found some similar ones that you could find online if you’re looking for a soothing gel with aloe vera:

Have you ever done a DIY face mask with honey? I must confess I’m all about ready-made skincare and technical products that work, but I decided to try a home-made face mask with honey this time.

It all started with an invite by Pinterest Italia to collaborate with them with a DIY beauty video and to try this honey and yogurt face mask. So I decided to give it a try and check the effects of this natural face mask!

It’s such an easy DIY face mask recipe that you can make it in a couple of minutes and with easy ingredients, that you probably have at home any time of the year!

This DIY face mask is great for sensitive skin and it has soothing and anti-aging properties.

• DIY Face Mask with Honey (anti-aging face mask):

• Ingredients:

• A jar of yogurt
• One table spoon of honey

Mix all the ingredients and apply this mixture to your face and neck. Leave it on your face for 30 minutes and wash it well.

🍯 DIY FACE MASK! With only 2 ingredients you can have a natural face mask that will work as an anti-aging treatment to your skin. 🤗 I confess I’m not a huge fan of DIY skincare, but it was fun trying this recipe and I enjoyed the final result! 💕

A post shared by Manu Luize | Fashion Blogger (@manuluize) on May 25, 2020 at 11:40am PDT

After this DIY face mask with honey, you can apply the rest of your skincare products as you would do with any other mask and your makeup.

Even though it was a bit messy to do this natural face mask (because the mask was a bit sticky), I had fun doing it and I actually enjoyed the effect of this mask on my skin.

I would recommend to do it when you’re not in a rush and when you’re just relaxing in the house, because the yogurt + honey got into my hair and it was a bit messy. 😅 Take a shower after doing this mask and maybe not before like I did.
