Caffeine Rose

 Hello,

as of lately I have been big on lip tints who keep their gloss. I wanted to try this brand and when they had this promotion to get one shade for free I took it.

It is Laka Fruity glam tint in Caffeine Rose. I knew it would be deep brown but I thought that somehow I could make it work (I was not able to choose shades).

It starts very liquid and it is easy to apply. I prefer to start with little product and build the color up.

The scent is grape soda and I absolutely love it.

This shade is deep and warm brown. I have nothing like it in my collection and I was scared to use it. I like to apply very little amount because brown lip isn't what I am used to it. I like that it is glossy even with a thin application. My lips are naturally red so this actually looks more reddish on me but still with a noticeable brown hue.

It leaves pretty strong stain and it is fun to create gradient lips with it but stain is easily removed after eating.

If I am being honest the shade still scares me but the scent, glossiness and longevity of shine is all top tier for me. I think I will get some other shades from this collection which will fit my style better.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Waterism glow melting balms

 Hello,

I am back with more TirTir products and again I just couldn't pick one so I spread out and tried to get different tones and at the end I narrowed it down to three.

They are TirTir Waterism glow melting balms in Mauve Rose, Merry Coral and Salmon Syrup. Packaging is the same as with the lip gloss and while it is a bit odd that the squares don't perfectly add on top of each other I find that to be very charming about their packaging.

They have no scent and leave a little color and some shine behind.

Mauve Rose is brown toned with shimmers, Merry Coral is a bright coral shade and Salmon Syrup in light apricot shade. Last two options are both shimmer free.

They are very soft and shiny but I wish the shine would last for longer. Moisturising properties could be better (I find their tints to be more hydrating).

I like to wear them on their own but also as lip tint toppers. While I was buying them I did not think about it but now that I am swatching them I see how similar they are to the three lip tints that I picked.

So I started wearing tints and then I take their counterpart in lip balm with me to top it off through the day. Actually I think TirTir made that intentional (I have Merry Coral shade in lip balm and tint version) so you can get the same shade within both of their ranges and it is very easy to find since they have the same name. I actually really like that and I can see myself picking Salmon Syrup in the tint version as well.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Merry Coral, Sand Mond & Nutty Pink

 Hello,

here I have some more TirTir products since I have been trying them lately and there are some more products on its way.

All lined up are TirTir Waterism glow tints in Merry Coral, Sand Mond and Nutty Pink (it is part of a different edition so the packaging, the color is different). The scent is very similar to the gloss but here I detect slightly more fruity notes but it is all very subtle.

Mine are all minis, they hold 1,8 ml of product. The wand is regular doe foot applicator and they carry a lot of product, to get that precise application I like to wipe some off so it doesn't spill over my lip lines.

Here I have them in the same order and they are Merry Coral, Sand Mond & Nutty Pink.

Merry Coral is bright coral, application is even and on my already red lips it makes them a bit brighter. I think it brighten my face but I would not be wearing it daily, I am just not used to such bold colors.

In the middle is Sand Mond which is a mix of nude and rosy color with tons of silver shimmers, on my lips it starts turning deeper and more rosy, very nice and shimmery.

Last is Nutty Pink, at first this light peachy nude shade looks paler than my lips but after I apply it it already starts deepening and it makes my red lips just a bit more neutral and rosier. A very lovely shade and I can see myself wearing it daily for work. It has shimmer but less than Sand Mond.

I don't mind these oxidising on my lips and transforming after wear, Merry Coral is the only shimmer free option here but I also feel like it doesn't change that much after wear while the other too both darken and turn rosier on me plus have shimmers.

I love how glossy they get after application, they do create that mirror shine after a few minutes and then the color doesn't transfer. On my glass I can only see some of the shine. Shine is gone around one hour mark (I wish it would last longer but I can always add gloss, the one from TirTir, reviewed yesterday looks beautiful over all three). 

Color last for a few hours, these were wiped after around 20 min, if I would leave them longer the stain would be a bit more visible. While wearing them I was eating with them and when I was careful food doesn't impact them much. There is always option of reaplyng and that makes the color deeper instantly.

I am really liking these, the shine, lovely colors, nice scent and longevity are all convincing me that these are top tier. My favorite is Nutty Pink since I will be wearing it for work as well, I could say that it is the most wearable shade for me. I have already purchased some more but I haven't tried those shades yet so we will see if there will be some more awesome shades.

Waterism lip plumper

 Hello,

this is the first post of TirTir product and there are more to come. I started buying them last year and now I decided that it is the time to show them.

First is TirTir Waterism lip plumper. As far as I know it is the only shade available. It looks pink but I think it is just the tinted plastic for the inside and there is tiny shimmers in it.

On the box (it comes in a plastic box whit sparkles on it and I noticed that if the product has shimmers then the box reflex that as well) it says to apply it over lipsticks or lip tints to add glow, at the end it also mention the last option that it can also be used on bare lips. I just find it funny that their primal option is to apply over tinted lips :) 

I find TirTir packaging very interesting since all of their lip products are made the same. Three squares and each slightly tilted so it looks like the lid is not secured on top but the product do snap in place and it just slightly tilts. It reminds me of bamboo but in modernised square shape.

The applicator is made out of plastic (I tried Heart Percent lip gloss a while ago with the same type of applicator) and it is very bendable. For me it caries enough product to coat entire lips. Why the plastic is yellow is beyond me, it does look like it was exposed to sun but then some other components would look the same (I have seen reviews from other people and their looks the same color).

The scent is not ovrpowering, it is barely there and it reminds me a bit of a fruity shampoo, something clean. I do find it unusual. 

After putting it on it starts 'working'. The tingling appears and it slightly burns. There is no minty flavour or cooling effect so I believe there is some chilly extract (I had some Catrice lip product with chilly and they felt the same) but when I was checking the ingredients list I noticed that there is Menthoxypropanediol which is derivate of menthol. The tingling effect is not strong but if it gets in my mouth it is not pleasant and I can tolerate it.

This comes out clear with some sparse shimmers , some of it is barely visible on the photo above, on the bottom of the swatch.

I like the packaging, the scent is not bad, applicator is useful and it keeps my lips hydrated. The gloss lasts for a good hour. At first the gloss feels a bit a little too liquid and I thought that it would feel like lip oil but when it is on the lips it is not as thin and it gives uniformed shine. It fills all my lip lines and it looks super glossy. There is no stickiness and I like that too.

I find this gloss really nice but if they would stop the tingling effect and get a few more sheer shades I would love it more.

review of BB creams

 Hello,

I lined my current BB creams and I thought it would be fun too see all the different shades all together.

Here is a line of BB creams, first and last are Skin79 Soothing Angry Cat and Brightening Dark Panda, both with SPF 50 and Holika Holika Shimmering petit BB with SPF 45. 

The Skin79 have purpose hidden in their names. Soothing one is for oily skin with acne and Brightening is toning down the discoloration but when it comes to the Shimmering its name is is deceiving. There is no shimmers in it.

Here I swatched them in the same order and first, which is Soothing is the best color match for me. Shimmering one is too dark (I have to use it sparingly) and last one, Brightening is very yellow and a bit pale on me. If I would wear them on its own color mismatch could be a problem but I started to wear them after moisturiser and under foundation. I sandwiched it if you wish :)

Both Skin79 BB don't work well when my skin is on the dry side since they both emphasise dry patches so I try to avoid them on those days but then I use Shimmering and it glides like a butter. It also has a thicker, more traditional BB cream feeling and it covers tremendously well.

If I could take the Holika Holika Shimmering formula and take the Skin79 Soothing shade that would suit me the most.

Ginger lip tint

Hello,

I am back with another lip tint. I initially wanted to get two shades but one of them got sold out before I got my hands on it and I can say that I am glad that I did not receive it :)

In the yellow toned cream matte packaging is House of Hur glowy ampoule tint in no. 4 Ginger. I think it was the most toned down shade, very natural and neutral.

It has a normal doe foot applicator but I noticed that the stopper leaves a lot of product on the wand and I get too much product. I started wiping it on the side but since it is on the soft/liquid side it is a bit messy. After using it a few times I have to wipe the rim so I doesn't start leaking.

On the photo above this shade comes of more orange than in real life but I still wanted to include it so you can see that it can be sheered out and it looks more apricot toned. I like the gloss that it gives. When applied it is not as impressive but after a few minutes after it sets it gives a really nice glossy finish.

 

Here I distributed the tint more evenly and shot it in a different light. I think here it looks more realistic as the shade is more apricot and nude. On my red pigmented lips it comes off a bit deeper but still very natural. I think it stands out in my collection of brights and mostly pinks. It is sheer and plays well even with more pigmented lips. I really like the look on me. 

The gloss however disappears pretty fast (think around 15 min and it is a shame because the glossiness looks very nice with this shade).

It leaves even but barely there tint and I am not mad. I like that it is even and I will not complain about sheerness. 

Another bad thing is the taste, after a while it develops and it is bad, somewhat chemical and bitter, not nice at all. 

I really like the tone, the sheer pigment and even application. On the other hand I don't like how messy it makes the packaging, lack of gloss and icky taste.

I think I will still use it but sparingly and will not be buying more from this line of tints.

Good as New

 Hello,

I new nail polish that I have been wearing for the past few weeks. I am definitely in my sheer era and this one seemed like a mix between base coat and light coverage nail varnish.

Here I have Essie nail perfector in Good as New. I was attracted to the soft pink hue even though I knew it is supposed to dry out matte.

This is three coats on my nails and I can still see my nail line through which I don't mind. Color is a mix between peach and pink, it is a bit warmer than what I anticipated.

Finish is matte and it is interesting with this color. It almost looks like no nail polish and my fingers are just long.

At the end I can say that I like this nail polish. I wish this color would be a bit more cool but this combo sort of masks my nails and I think it looks nice. Finish is also a bit odd but it works. I wear it for a few days on its own and then add clear top coat to refresh it.

Longevity is also very nice, this lasted whole week on my nails.

I can see myself repurchasing this one again, if they will ever come out with a cooler version I will be the first to jump and get it.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day
