Berry Cream

 Hello,

for me it is time for lip glosses and lip balms in tubes. Recently I only have eyes for those, especially pink ones.

I purchased Lumene lip glow oil balm in Berry Cream. My first thought when I tried it is that it does not feel like oil, more like lip balm/gloss.

Berry Cream is pink but on the brighter side, it does sheer out on the lips and it can be easily applied without a mirror. There is no scent but it does taste fruity, I guess like berries? I like it a lot :)

This shade of pink is lovely, I like the taste and it does nourish my lips, I only wish it would last a bit longer on my lips so I wouldn't need to reapply every 30-45 min. 

I think I picked up the right shade for me but there is also lighter pink called Sugar with shimmer that I am interested in.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Cherry, Cherry Baby!

 Hello,

this is a lovely hybrid between lip gloss and lip balm. I think they took the best from both when making it.

From the Essence So Cherry Happy collection I got this peptide lip gloss in 02 Cherry, Cherry Baby!, it is a recent buy and since this collection came out in late Spring I don't know if it didn't sell well or they just made so many of them. I would say the second because this is really nice.

Cherry, Cherry Baby! is pale baby pink gloss with liquid consistency, here I was seconds away from dropping it (I didn't, I was able to salvage it).

It is on the sheer side, especially on the lips where I didn't get to use this much at once. I actually prefer the sheer glosses over overly pigmented ones. There is also a very strong bubblegum scent and taste and I love it.

Gloss is visible, it makes my lips really juicy and full, just how I like it.

I love the sheer pink shade, for me it has a great scent/taste. I find it hydrating on my lips, it stays put for over one hour and I am even thinking of getting a second tube but this holds 10 ml of product and it will take me a long time to finish this first tube.

I was really positively surprised and I eneded up loving it. It is one of my favorites in my collection. I hope Essence comes out with more of these in the future.

Too Cool and Hakimi

 Hello,

these two products reminded me so much of Gege Bear solid lip glosses so I had to get them. These are a bit more expensive but after some more research I thought that I will like them enough to get two of.

They are Flortte special edition heart shaped lipstick in Too Cool (bunny) and Hakimi (kitty).

They feature fun animal stickers which looks like I made them myself since they look a bit homemade but I still like them :) I would also mention the packaging or the texture. They aren't smooth but they are like water, curvy and wavy with sparkles inside the plastic.

Here I accidentally turned them upside down to reveal buts instead hearts ;) They both have sparkles but Too Cool (pink) is more packed.

Hakimi is nude with barely there sparkles and Too Cool is deeper pink with sparkles but both are still pretty sheer so they can be applied without a mirror (I have to be a bit more careful with the Too Cool one but it is okay).

They are the glossies sticks that I have tried and I tried plenty. So far these are my favorites. They have no scent or taste, colors are sheer but I can still tell them apart if I apply them on the lips (on the lips they look different, Hakimi looks almost clear and Too Cool gives a deeper pink hue). They stay glossy for a good hour which is also the longest.

I am thinking of getting backups, I would get different shades but none are available at the time, but I can see that there are 6 shades in total.

Mood Changer

 Hello,

this product has a square bottle and my first thought was that it is a nail polish but I was wrong, it is a lip gloss.

 It is Heart Percent dote on mood top coating lip plumper in Mood Changer.

The wand is short (because of the short bottle) and the applicator is silicone. Very unusual and bendable. This product is meant to be applied on top of some other shades and it is nice that it can be wiped clean so it does not interfere with the rest of the product.

In the bottle it looks pretty dark but on the skin it sheers out into a sheer plum shade. On bare, pale lips it can look like I have been out in the cold but when my lips are red it tones them down. I really like the effect. It was meant to be applied over other lippies to tone them down and it work nicely without looking too artificial.

It has a slight minty scent but without any tingle, it is super glossy and juicy (texture is very liquid) and the shade is sheer but it works as a stand alone product or as a topper. I really love this cutie.

There is also a Cool Changer with a berry tint and two glitter top coats which also look interesting...

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Empties

 Hello,

end of the month is here and below are my empties for the month of November.

First is Etude baking powder B.B. deep cleansing foam with little granules (hence the name baking powder). I used it as a light mechanical scrub but I avoided my eyes so for me this wasn't perfect for removing BB cream but as a scrub it was okay. I am trying to avoid mechanical scrubs but sometimes it feel so good that I can't help it but then I prefer something stronger.

Next is Korres Santorini Grape body moisturiser. I adore everything grape scented and I grabbed this lotion pretty quickly but when I tried it out I was a bit disappointed since the scent is light and more floral than juicy grape. Still nice but not what I expected. The lotion itself was nice but I got it for the scent which wasn't there.

Next I used up also this The Body Shop Shea lotion. This one didn't disappointed with the scent and it was rich, slightly masculine but exactly my taste. Lotion absorbed quickly and I was able to go through a bit faster than normal but the scent was so gorgeous that I don't hold a grudge. I would get it again.

Little orange tube is another one of my beloved Neutrogena oil free face moisturisers. I love the light texture which always nourish my skin no matter how dry it is, it stays put under make-up and does not make be oily. I will forever repurchase it.

When I saw this CeraVe resurfacing retinol serum I knew I will try it. It has a very light, gel like texture and absorbed quickly into my skin and often I would put a heavier cream on top to provide some more hydration but this was a nice retinol and I would get it again.

Last bottle here is Revox hyaluronic acid serum with a convenient pipette. Texture is gel which absorbs quickly into my skin and it is ready to top it off with something locking all that moisture in. The price is low and I like that, I would get it again (I probably already have a backup somewhere).

I have another Korres product and this time it is in this beautiful orange bottle. It is White tea perfume and the name tells you the scent. It was very calming but light plus it disappears quickly. I used up this bottle up in a matter of a few months which is quick for me.

I used up my second NYX fat oil lip drip and this one is Missed Call. It is super similar to Supermodel except it is more pigmented and has no shimmer which isn't even noticeable. I preffered Supermodel but this one was also usable if I was careful not to apply too much at once. I liked these enough to use them up but I don't see myself buying more unless if there will be a shade I will be interested in.

White tube is Dr. Paw Paw shimmery balm. Particles were big and sparkly but also a bit rough on the lips. I don't love it when I rub my lips together and they scrape my lips. I used it at night so the particles wouldn't bother me and I woke up with glitter all over my face. I was glad once it was gone and I am more excited to try the original formula without shimmers.

Second to last is my beloved Crazy Rumours Leaping Bunny Plum and Apricot lip balm. This is my third lip balm from the brand and my love is still going strong. Formula is great for me and light scents are so good. This mix of plum and apricot felt so good together and refreshing. I already have a new option prepared to go next and I hope it will be just as good.

Last but not least is Blistex original lip balm. I still like this classic. The formula is soft, scent light and nourishing properties are there. I don't have a backup since I am trying to got through my extensive stash but I can see myself buying it again.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Woody Rosy

 Hello,

for today I have cool packaging with a slightly misleading name since I can't match name with the shade perfectly.

I purchased Joocyee new smoky glazed gloss in Woody Rosy in 4ml bottle. It comes it the cooles bag with a rope around the circle to keep it closed.

It has the curviest wand and on top of that it is also curved and super soft (when I apply it bends even more).

There is the slightest minty scent and I can also feel it on my lips but it is not cooling which is good news for me.

Shade is named Woody Rosy but it is more orange on me, not my favorite shade but it can be sheered out and it is glossy which is very important for me since juicy lip glosses are my favorite.

Here it is visible how it sheers out and I think it looks nicer on me like that.

I like the outer packaging and especially the bottle itself, since it is not a perfect rectangular but side with darker writing on it is a bit textured. Like if I would spill some water and it would ripple through also the lid is a bit uneven and that bit makes it stand out from the rest of the bottles.

The color is not my favorite but there is also a nude option that I am thinking about. Slight minty flavour isn't bad but I love that it isn't cooling or reacting. Gloss last for about an hour and that is very nice. Overall I like this gloss and I will be wearing it in the future.

$ellout

 Hello,

finally I am trying some famous Mac lipsticks and everyday neutral pink is my first take.

Mac lipstick from the Lusterglass sheer shine in the $ellout version. I heard about these shiny lipsticks and I wanted to get an everyday soft pink shade

This imprint looks very nice and the shade looks just right for my desire. I like the sleek black tube but when I take the lid off the magic unveils.

On me it pulls more peachy than pink and where is the shine? Online I see people with juicy lips but on me the shine is eaten up. It is super pigmented and slightly pale on me so it just doesn't look right. I can add a bit of lip gloss but that is extra step that I did not think I would have to make.

This particular shade isn't right for me (I should probably get Syrup), I think it lacks shine and is slightly too pigmented for me.

Sadly this one did not meet my expectations and I will not get more shades from this line but there is so many people who loves it so it is down to preference.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day
