Waikiki and Ibiza holidays

 Hello,

I have a soft spot for lip balms/glosses in tubes. I think they are easy to apply while on the go and if they are sheer even better. I already tried this formula and I like how they look and feel on the lips. 

They are Unleashina Sunset Dazzle Gloss Balms in Waikiki and Ibiza. First one is new to me and Ibiza shade is repeat (it was gift with purchase).

They have a donut applicator which is surprisingly precise and sweet apple scent with zero shimmers.

Waikiki is slightly yellow and that scared me at first but I apply it in a thin coat so it is not visible, it just looks like a clear gloss with nourishing properties.

Ibiza was randomly sent and since I already have a tube I am giving mine to my sister. I made this swatch with my first tube (also the tube is mine and I think you can see the indentation compared to the full yellow tube). Ibiza is bright coral and a bit tricky to apply, there is definitely need for a mirror but other than that it is great.

Shine lasts for one hour and then lips are hydrated and nourished, tinted one leaves a light shade behind but it is not a stain. Texture is very comfortable and non sticky, I wanted to get some nude/moody shades but weren't available, I will definitely check those out and maybe eventually get some.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Pink Pearl lip gloss

 Hello,

I had this lip gloss for a while now. I remember I purchased it in a local store with some discount. Back there I was digging mauve shades and this one looked perfect, if I would be picking now I would get something more nude or brown.

It is Isadora Glossy Lip Treat Moisturizing Lip Color in the shade Pink Pearl and holds 13 ml of product. Tube is very long and slim, convenient for carrying it around.

This applicator has four openings where product can come out and application is easy. I was scared that it would be too much but it is actually not.

There is slight scent but I can't put my finger down of what it remind me. I feel like I smelled this in a face moisturiser...

Shade Pink Pearl is brighter fuchsia pink with silver shimmers. Shade is buildable but from the start it is already quite pigmented. 

Shine lasts for about one hour and after gloss disappears pink shade with shimmers remains, it is not a stain (it is easy to wipe off but if I leave it or apply clear lip balm over it shade carries through).

I like the tiny shimmer and how nice the formula feels but the shade is a bit bright for me. I still wore it but I think I will now put it in the drawl and wait for the warmer weather to bring it out again.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

new lippies

 Hello,

my lates colorful and summery purchase arrived a few days ago. I have received also two clips, one is shell and another one is starfish, very Summer like :) 

I picked up two more Muzigae Mansion Icy Glow lip glosses in Better and Breezy. On my photo they look a bit orange, in reality they are both rosy. First is reddish rosy and second is a tad lighter, more coral. I like their slightly green rose scent, pigmentation is not on a super sheer side but still lighter pigmented and they wear beautifully on the lips. I felt that the rosy tones would be great in the Autumnal weather.

Next in a black packaging is my free gift with purchased which I have already tried and posted. It is another Muzigae Mansion item and this one is rosy glitter, for the cheeks it is a bit too sparkly but for the eyes I think it is perfect. I can't find this item to be sold which I think is a bit of a shame, it has wet texture which sets quickly and does not move.

The two sticks are Dasique Melting Candy Balms, I tried to pick the more modest shades and decided to get Apple Cinnamon and Sugar Plum, I hope they are not too bright. I hope they are just as glossy as presented. With purchase of these two I received the two hair clips. Starfish is easier to grip but they look lovely in my hair. I will save them for a warmer weather.

I decided to finally try the Laka Soul Vegan Lip Balm in the shade Rosy. These don't get much press and I wondered if they are really bad or just lost among the many awesome products this brand makes? I guess I will try it out soon enough :)

I purchased another Laka Bonding Glow Lipstick, I really like this formula and when I saw that this Mito shade (deeper nude) was in stock I grabbed it. I wanted this one for a while now :)

Last from Laka is their Jelling Nude Gloss in the shade Grape Ring, it was also a free gift with purchase. I think I already have one from this line but at the moment I can't find it... At the end I gladly purchased two items to get this one for free, it is a lip gloss and I love glosses ;)

On the bottom there are two more Unleashia Berry Shot Lip Tints in Peachy Peach and White Berry. I already have one and I like it so much that getting two more seemed like a good idea.

Then there are two Unleashia Sunset Dazzle Gloss Balms. I initially wanted some of the muted nude shades and the lavender but since those were not available I picked yellow tube which is Waikiki, clear shade but applies slightly yellow. Thought that since I really like this formula I could use this one at night to go to bed and there was also a promise of a free balm... I did not know which shade they would send and unfortunately it was Ibiza. Lovely shade but I already have it and it will take me forever to get through so I am giving this one to my sister and clear one will stay with me for now.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Lip Milk

 Hello,

next item is from the brand Thim and at first I did not care for this product but after days and weeks of seeing it online I got curious.

On the box there is writing which looks like their motto: Life is a beauty, beauty is what you choose to make it, create your own theme, live with your Thim.

I really like it and it gives me some food for my thoughts. Recently I felt the need to change my routine make-up, I am trying new stuff all the time but always in the same matter. I wish for some change, to start doing things in a different matter. I feel the need for a change.

I am mostly talking about changing my colored make-up but it starts with a hydrating and well taken care skin especially now when the cold is sneaking in.

I picked up Thim Essential Lip Milk, I believe this is a hydrating lip balm in a liquid base with a lip gloss kind of look.

Applicator is chubby and caries plenty of product, I have no need for reapplying. Bottle carries 7g of product which I find is a lot.

At first it is a bit milky white but for me that is also a sign that I have applied too much so I spread it thinly all over my lips. At first it is glossy but then it dries to a lip balm shine. When I press my lips together there is light slip which tells me that the product is still there. It lasts exceptionally long, about two hours without eating and my lips are soft and nourished. I really enjoy this lip product, I wonder if they will ever release it in another shade...

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Bunny Fizz & Fig Drizzle

 Hello,

these lip glosses were super popular a while ago, everyone praised them and swatches looked super juicy with sheer color payoff, just as I like it. I can see that they came out with some more nude/brown shades, so very Autumnal and I see some pretty shades as well.

They are Nuse Reju lip glosses in Bunny Fizz and Fig Drizzle. I had a hard time choosing only two shades and at the end I picked something pink and something more mauve-nude colored.

I love that the opening has this slanted area which makes application easy (the lid also has a flat spot and can make this gloss stand on its own, I really like this little detail).

First I will mention scents, Bunny Fizz smells juicy fruity while Fig Drizzle is chocolate scented. Both scents are light and have no taste.

Next is formula, I don't know why but mine have little clusters, on the darker color above they are more visible. Gloss comes out a bit hard and most of it spreads nicely but there are little balls of pigment which melt after pressing the tip down to my lips or rubbing my lips together. I have been using them for days now and there are still balls coming out. I have not seen any reviews with this happening so I assume this happened because of some temperature shock in transport.

Bunny Fizz is neutral pink shade and on a sheer side of pigmentation, this one is effortless with a hint of pink brightness. Very easy to wear.

Fig Drizzle has this beautiful fleshy fig coloring, not brown and not red. It adds vibrancy but in a modest way. I absolutely adore this shade. I think this one is my favorite since it is a bit different.

I love the packaging and the shades, I love the sheerness and light scents, bonus point for making scents different but grainy effect is not cool. and this alone is preventing me from buying more shades. I know this isn't something a lot of people experience with and maybe buying more shades will not have the same effect or maybe this will happen again and this ruins my experience with the product.

Peach Tea, Ribbon Pink and Croissant

 Hello,

seeing these instantly made me look into this formula. I knew I should pick only one but then I settled for one from each color story, close enough :)

Cupcakes are from FlowerKnows The Sweetie Bear collection Coating Lip Jellies in Peach Tea, Ribbon Pink and Croissant. I picked shades which looked the most wearable to me and I am not disappointed.

Packaging is cute but predominately bulky, each holds 5g of balmy gloss. Bears are pretty detailed and the whole packaging looks like a sweet cupcake. I love how they integrated the applicator. It is handy and in a clean spot inside each packaging.

Applicator is firm and easy to use. All jellies have the same light bitter chocolate scent, it is not bad but I am also not a big fan of it. I blame my previous experience with chocolate lip balms and most of them were not the best so now I am transferring that feeling onto these. They smell nice if you like chocolate scent but I prefer more caramel or vanilla of something juicy fruity. 

All three shades look a bit moody and Autumnal here but individually they have their own character.

First is Peach Tea and is a warm toned nude, I like to apply it sheer and it just adds warmth and I am not too mad about it. I think it suits me.

Ribbon Pink is my favorite and I think I knew that even before purchasing it. It is neutral pink and I like to add a bit more just to get that refreshing pink hue.

Last is Croissant and the deepest from my pick. It gives me melted chocolate vibe, not bad, surprisingly I like it a lot on myself (pink is still my favorite but I can see myself using it a ton in this chill weather).

They go on my lips a bit like mousse, turn shiny and glossy after a minute. They feel like nothing on the lips after half an hour they start getting sticky. Shine is still going strong and lasts for about one and a half an hour, color remains for even longer but it is severely sticky and I don't like that. I usually just wipe it off after around two and a half an hours. If reapplied the first feeling is restored but I don't carry this bulky packaging around with me.

I like how long lasting these are, I even like all three shade but when they get so sticky all I want is to take them off. It is a weird formula and I think I can use them up but I will not be buying more shades or backups.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

sparkler

 Hello,

this item was sent to me as a gift with purchase and I can't find any info on it....

It is Muzigae Mansion Waterful Gemstick but I can't find any specific name for it also I can't find this item still being sold or maybe it was only a promotional item and never meant for sale individually...

When I remove the black lid there is another clear, tight fitting one which prevents this item to dehydrate. 

Products itself looks very grainy but there are multicolored specks which also translate on the skin and the feeling is actually smooth. I see silver, pink, gold and orange in this particular order. 

This is a few (I think I did four) layers and it has overall cool toned silver/white shine with a light rose base. This looks like a highlighter but there are individual particles visible and I don't love that for my cheeks.

When I touch the product it is very melty and I can feel how fast it is melting but it does not feel greasy or oily, it probably is water based. After a few seconds glitter settles and it can not be moved. There is no residue on the finger and shimmer does not move. Staying power is amazing. 

I tried it on my eye lids to get some sparkle and I love it. It stayed put all day long without creasing but I did lay primer first.

I like this item for my eyelids but I don't put it straight from the tube because I don't want my primer or powder to contaminate it.

I am adoring my eye looks with this sparkler every day and I am still not tired of it :)

Thank you for reading and have a nice day
