Bunny Hop

 Hello,

this one was so high on my wish list but when I purchased it I was almost scared to use it. I was afraid to be disappointed and then I rather just skip it. I am glad that I finally picked it up since it is very nice lippie.

It is Rom&nd Sheer Tinted Stick in Bunny Hop. this stick is long and holds 2g of product. I was debating between this one and the mauve one.

Packaging is beautiful, I really like the gradient effect and the top is somewhat different. It is not smooth but like a broken granite, uneven with their logo. I noticed that I constantly touch this part. It is perfect to rest my finger in there :)

Shade is medium pink without any shimmers, shade is nice but it does not look extra glossy...

On the skin the story is different. It is sheer but it can be build up. Shade is medium pink, not warm and also not cool. Very beautiful and it looks natural if I go slightly over my lip line, shine is nice, it could be glossier but after around thirty minutes it fades and only the pigment remains. It is not a stain, it still prints on my coffee mug but it is even and it wears off evenly.

I love the packaging, shade and the shine, I only wish the gloss would last a bit longer. Remaining pigment on the lips is beautiful, even and last long even if I drink. I would get more shades form this line, especially the mauve one.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Rosy Taupe

 Hello,

for today I have a lipstick tube since it has been a while since I wore one.

It is Etude Color Lasting Glow Stick lipstick in the shade Rosy Taupe. Packaging is rather large but I find it really nice with its gradient coloring.

Shade is more rosy than taupe and in the bullet it looks dark... I was pretty scared at this point. I prefer to wear lighter shades, more pink or nude but at this point I have almost completely abandon lipsticks. It has been quite a while I wore one so I wanted to get back with something glossy and sheer as presented in promo but I was not expecting rosy red shade.

It has a light floral scent, a bit different but not unpleasant.

It has this darkened red tone but at the same time it looks sheer and very glossy. Here I put on a lot on top and then sheer it out towards the bottom. applied lightly shade just kind of melts into my lips. It gives them freshness without being too much. With a light coat it does not stand out too much I just get that healthy looking glow (it is a bit less pronounced if applied lightly). 

I really like the packaging (it clicks with a satisfying click), shade looks scary in the tube but on my lips it looks pretty natural and I love the shine. Floral scent does not bother me but I can see myself getting sick of it (I think I prefer warmer vanilla or fruity scent in my lip products).

This lipstick totally got me by surprise and took me to an unexpected rollercoaster. 

There is another shade, named Pink Wish that got my attention now after I tried this one...

All That Berry

 Hello,

my love for Peripera lippies continue. When I saw another pink lip gloss I just had to have it.

It is Peripera Ink Glassting Lip Gloss from their limited edition which is called Soft Berry and my shade is All That Berry. I already have another shade from this line called Berry Best and I purchased that one back in September last year. There is another one, more peachy looking and it is also lovely but it is hard to get since it is an old line.

It has their standard huge applicator with tons of product, I have thin lips and this much product is a bit too much so I have to remove some to get nice application.

Shade is medium pink and it is not too vibrant, it remains in that neutral zone, color and tone wise. I really like this tone on me and it goes with a lot of different make-up looks. It looks very neutral.

I love their strawberry milkshake scent which they add to all of their lip glosses (it is one of my favorites), shade is lovely pink and gloss is insane. This one is now my favorite shade among all five that I have, mainly because all other four are brighter shades and this one is softer.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Empties

 Hello,

this is the second part of my empties, more skin and hair care items.

First big boy is Ziaja Silk shower gel in 500 ml bottle. It had creamy scent and wasn't super liquid. I like that shower gels are a bit thicker so they don't just run in my shower. I liked the scent, my favorite is still Bubble Cola scent. It lasted me for a long time and I would get it again.

Next is the whole pink line from Schwarzkopf Gliss split ends miracle line. First is shampoo, then conditioner and lastly shine booster. I liked this line, I think no rinse serum was my favorite from the trio but I have other products that work even better so probably I will not repurchase them again. I have to admit that the scent on these is gorgeous and I might pick some again just for it. My hair are quite damaged since I let them grow out from a super short bob to my waist and regular cuts were not in my plan :) At the moment I am using some other products which help my hair look amazing so that is what I am comparing and my current routine fits my hair better but this line smells better.

Lastly there are L'occitane Neroli & Orchid body wash and body moisturiser duo. This scent was magical and since my sister knew she got them for me for holiday. Only now I was able to use them up, I still have the hand cream. This sweet cream and floral scent is one of my favorites from them but as far as I know they don't make this line anymore. I know they discontinued them before and brought them back... I hope they will repeat that :)

Next duo is from Atelier Cologne. They are both in the same Bohemian Orange Blossom scent, first is the lotion and second is Cologne Absolue (I think it is supposed to be slightly stronger version of cologne which isn't super strong). Scent was beautiful, sweet orange blossom but still fresh and very summer like. I prefered the scent in the lotion format since it was sweeter but probably I will not but these products again. Lotion is expensive and the cologne had poor longevity.

Third is Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence for hydration, soothing and clear skin. I liked this thicker gel formula. I used it under my moisturisers sometimes in this extreme heat this was the only one I used before bed time and it felt enough. I was scared that it would sting but there were no irritations, I like it enough to probably repurchase it.

Big white tube is Missha Super Aqua Cell Reneval Snail cleansing foam. It was very creamy and it did not strip my skin while still removed my make-up residue mixed with cleansing balm. I find it very nice for gentle cleansing my face, I would get it again but at the moment I am swarmed with face washes.

I used up another serum, this one is from Beauty Glam and it is their 2% Salicylic acid serum. I love using this ingredient for pore cleansing. This serum has just the right consistency, it is easy to find in store and it is inexpensive, I believe I already have another bottle somewhere.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Empties

 Hello,

this is my first part of my empties, they are make-up and lip balm related, so more face focused group.

I finally used up these two Catrice HD Baking & Setting loose powders in 1 Translucent and 3 Cool Beige. Middle shade no. 2 was sold out so I got white one and the one that it is too dark to mix them together to match me and this loose powder combo really held up my oily skin in check. My make-up lasted exceptionally well through the day. Each powder holds up to 23 g of powder and these together lasted me for more than one year. They are discontinued but I have a backup of both shades. Now I will use something else to see if there is anything else good for my oil skin (I have all these powders already in my stash so nothing new for me).

Next is Catrice HD Liquid Coverage Foundation in Porcelain Beige. Another one from their HD line and I think these liquid foundations are staying even though they did revamp them a few years ago. This shade is not my perfect match, I purchased it online thinking I am buying my right shade. This one is a bit paler and more yellow in tone. I used dropper applicators and added a little bit daily to my perfect foundation shade to use this one up :)

Next is my very last one of these Avon Supershock Max black mascaras. I think this one is discontinued :( It has a big plastic wand and it separates my lashes, adding a bit length but it does not clump them and afterwards they look pretty natural. I really liked the more natural look and almost always I look for a plastic wand because of this mascara. I was really spoilt with it and now I am a bit sad that this one is gone. The one that I use now is clumping my lashes and I have to be very careful while using it, I already miss my SuperShock Max :(

I purchased this baby in a set of five, it is Essence Juicy Bomb lip gloss in Tangy Tangerine. First I wanted to go for something pink but juicy Tangerine scent took over me. Shade was very sheer with tiny shimmers which sparkles in the sun, scent remained for several minutes. I wish these would be a bit more longlasting but at the end when they are cheap as chips I don't mind too much. I really enjoyed using it but now I jumped on the pink version. There is new set available and only one shade is a limited edition, available only in that said set and of course that is the one which calls me the most.

This is the second tube of Catrice Lip Jam Hydrating Lip Gloss in I like You Berry Much (first one was strawberry and since the lid cracked it dried and I was not able to finish it). This one was sheer with a bit thicker formula, more balmy than Essence gloss. There was slight fruity scent and it had some shine. The unfortunate thing is that this one also went bad. I don't know what exactly happened but it got so thick that when I put it on my lips it was all stringy. I did not want to force myself over using something obviously expired (this was a new thing, at first it was fine) so I am throwing it away before I can completely finish it.

Lastly there is Crazy Rumors Sugar & Spice lip balm. This one surprised me, scent wise. To me it had a mulled wine scent and I opened it for the first time at my work, talk about awkward. Every time I reached for it I remembered :) All in all the scent was pleasant, balm was nourishing and was adding some clear shine to my lips + hydration. I really like Crazy Rumors balms, I think I used up four now and I am very pleased with all of them, I am already using new flavour so this one will not be too missed.

Guava lips

 Hello,

I am back with a familiar product in some new, fresh shades with two different finishes.

They are Rom&nd Glasting Color Glosses in Guava Cream and mini is Guava Sparkle. 

Applicators are almost the same size, not much difference and I like that they were somehow able to keep the size since I find it very fitting for my lips, I usually don't need to reapply.

Shades are almost the same, rosy red but cream version is a bit more sheer and the sparkling one not only has more pigment, there is also tiny silver shimmer which does not distracts but adds to the glow.

Cream option has slight fruity scent while sparkling one has none but it tingles, thankfully the sensation disappears fast.

These are lovely, very similar shades to my lips and look very natural on me. I really like this formula as they are very glossy.

I know I say that for all of Rom&nd shades but these two are great and possibly my favorite. I just wish the mini would not have the tingle but I love the shimmer.

I found out that they now have separate shimmery line and I am excited for it but they did not included Guava Sparkle... :(

I think that is a missed opportunity but maybe this shade did not get great reviews or maybe they will add it later, hope remains.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Juliet Rose

 Hello,

today is a perfect day to show this lovely blush. I wanted a pastel peach (my long gone Tony Moly Salmon Nude blush is missed) when I came across this baby.

I purchased it online so I wasn't sure if it will be the right shade but I decided to take the plunge. It is Bbia Last Blush in the shade Juliet Rose (maybe this will truly be the last blush for me...)

It is paste peach but I fell like it lacks some brightness, my old one has some white pigment for brightening included but I can' see it here. Somewhat it looks dusty and light.

On my wrist it barely shown but I like that it is close to my skin tone since I don't want it to be too much.

When applied with a brush it kicks some powder. 

On my face it is a bit more noticeable, probably because my foundation is still a dit damp (when I apply concealer and foundation I spray fixing spray and when it dries I powder my face and only then follow with other colored powders on my cheeks and eyes), I can only assume that I don't powder my face too much and while it it is a bit sticky blush holds on to it and it is slightly darker, a bit more defined.

I like the simple and thin packaging, curvature nicely follows the tint curvature so it is recognisable but without over the top design. Shade is lovely, I like that it is light but for me it still lacks that ompf that Salmon Nude had. 

I will gladly wear it but my hunt for perfect shade continues.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day
