Pink Grey

 Hello,

I wanted to venture a bit into face palettes, especially to get a new contour powder. I found this brand and since these are very inexpensive I took two different ones, this is the first one since the colors appeal to me more.

This palette is from Veecci and it is their face palette in Pink Grey option (there are four plus some limited editions). This one looked the most versatile for me. 

The ripple effect on the packaging is beautiful and nice to touch :)

It is supposed to contain one shimmery and one matte highlighter, blush and contour shade, since I am probably not the right skin tone as the brand predicted soft pink 'blush' barely shows up on me and even then it is too pale to be called a blush, at least on my skin tone.

I swatched them in clockwise order, starting with the shimmery highlighter. I like this one on my eyes, for my cheeks I feel like it is too shimmery. 

Pink blush is a bit too pale for me skin tone so I started using it on my eyes to set my eyeshadow primer and set my concealer. I use fluffy brush and the color does not show up.

Third is contour which isn't super cool on me but something in between. I would prefer for it to be a bit more grey but even like this I can use it on my cheeks or my eyes.

Last is big pan of this cream matte highlighter. It is slightly lighter on my skin when I pack it on. I can use it in the same matter as the matte pink shade, under and over my eyes to set concealer or primer.

Contour shade is very powdery, soft pink one also kicks some but not that much, the other two are fine.

I love the packaging but shades aren't quite right for me. I like the contouring powder but since it is in small packaging it will be used first and fast. It is not a bad palette, I can see myself using these shades but only the brown shade for its purpose. The two mattes could be used as powders for my eye areas, face and neck. For the shimmery shade I even have a plan to crush it and mix it with my hair spray to add some sparkles and finish it up because I don't believe I can use it all up on my eyes.

Sultry lip gloss

 Hello,

this lip loss was a gift with purchase and at first glance this shade seemed a bit odd.

It is Paese beauty lip gloss in the shade Sultry. I love the Fanta orange drink scent, it is a bit different and in a good way. It looks like a normal sized gloss but it holds only 3,4 ml of product.

It is the shade that seems a bit unusual. It is light peach with tons of gold shimmer and making it pretty warm.

Here it is, it is very peachy and pigmented. Applied on its own it is pigmented but after a few minutes shade adapts/blends and it looks pretty natural. I was very surprised to see how wearable it is because I was not expecting it to be. The added shimmers are making it very shiny.

I like the shade after it adapts and the shimmery isn't too bad even though I am not a big fan of super warm tones but this one somehow works. I like the orange drink scent but the longevity is very poor, on me it lasts about 20 min.

I will likely use it up but probably I will not be getting any more.

Cream Cloud

 Hello,

I purchased this set because it promoted glossy lip balm and a lip liner (I wanted to try lip pencil for a long time. The last time, which was years ago I did not like it, we will see if my opinion will change).

This set is named Cream Cloud by Pudaier and it contains lip pencil in C2079-03, balm gloss in 7 and pencil sharpener.

Pencil looks pretty cool toned nude and glossy balm cool toned pink but on the skin they change into slightly warmer tones.

Here pencil looks nude, on my lips it pulls a bit more peachy nude and glossy balm is warmer pink and super pigmented. Swatch was made with only two lines but only with one swipe each, it is that pigmented.

Pencil is soft and pigmented and it holds on to that quality, the same goes for the balm. 

Pencil is a little dark on me (I would prefer a more natural tone) but it makes my lips look so very different than usually. My everyday lip is never super defined, I prefer blurred lines but this was a nice change. I will play with it occasionally but I would prefer more of a gel formula which would stay put through the end of the day.

Sugar Frost

 Hello,

I purchased another lippie in a tube, I have a feeling like ths might really be obsession ;)

White tube is Dermacol lip treat with hyaluronic filling spheres in Sugar Frost. There were a lot of different options, shimmery and some without, colorful and super pigmented. I opted for shimmery one with milky base.

At first it looks white but it sheers out and has tons of mostly silver shimmers, there are some other colors but not prominent. It has a slight sugary/caramel scent but no taste.

I really like the feeling on the lips, slight scent adds to the experience, my lips stay hydrated all day long and I like the shimmers. I like to wear it on its own or over some tints, it is longlasting, it stays put for longer than one hour and I like that.

My Candy Shop blush

 Hello,

it is time to review some pretty blush. It was an extensive online search for a good tangerine shade and I think I found it, all it needs now is some sparkle on top ;)

It is Missha Cotton blush in My Candy Shop variant. I wanted a vivid peach blush because I think I don't have any. I used to have one from L.O.V but it was super pigmented and hard to use on my pale skin.

Packaging is pretty simple but effective so there is nothing bad to say about that and I got it for very cheap.

I intentionally put some hand cream on my hand just to show how blurring this blush is (it does stick very well on dry skin as well) but my skin has this glow but not where the blush is, there it is completely matte.

It is super blurring with just two layers. On my face, applied with a brush this is not as noticeable and it nicely sheers out so I don't need to worry how I look early in the morning when I don't have a lot of time.

I like the simple packaging, low price tag and the shade is beautiful. I would get more shades but at the moment I can't find another shade that I would be interested about. If and when I see another shade to my liking I would get it, especially if they would add some sateen sheen to it ;)

Dewy Peach and So Sleek Pink

 Hello,

I have seen these glowy lip balms and I was waiting patently for them to come in my area.

They are Revlon super lustrous glass shine lipstick in Dewy Peach and So Sleek Pink. I purchased them online and they were the only two shades available. I am glad that I get these because they look perfect for the Spring and I noticed that in the past I would often pick these shades among many others. I feel like I am always ready for a pastel peach and soft pink lip.

Dewy Peach looks pretty orange here and that scared me so much. It gives me old times vibes while So Sleek Pink looks vibrant and super happy next to it.

Swatches showed a different story. Dewy Peach is glorious, soft and delicate. This swatch was made with only three strokes and it is plenty.

So Sleek Pink is more sheer from the bunch and I had to go over it six times to get this opacity and it is still lighter.

When it comes to the shine factor they are giving it and I love that a little bit of color remains on the lips even after the shine is gone. They do not stain and are not transfer proof but this lipstick does not claim this.

I am actually very happy with these. I got beautiful and super wearable shades, plenty of shine and hydration. They have a slight vanilla scent but noting too obvious. 

I know I will wear them with joy and applying them even without a mirror is effortless.

Cool Time Berry

Hello,

when I purchased this baby I thought that the shade would be different but I guess me and manufacturer did not envision the same berries.

It is Milk Touch Jelly Fit Tinted Glow Tint in the shade Cool Time Berry. I thought it would be more mauve, leaning plum but I was in for a surprise when it came out as a bright pink.

This applicator looks like it had a rough night :) It does carry a lot of product, for me a little too much but that is easily solvable and it is pretty easy to apply product with.

At first it if almost mousse like texture and very pale, pastel pink shade. As a few seconds pass, it deepens and gets brighter but also it starts getting shiny and glossy.

This is how it starts looking after just a few minutes, deeper, brighter and mirror like glossy. It has this sweet and sour grape scent that I find in a lot of Asian make-up. I am not mad about it, I actually really love it and I wish it would last for longer.

This stays like this for well over one hour, closer to two and the stain left behind is super even (my lips has weird pigment and a lot of tints leave uneven stain so even look is rare for me).

Stain after just one layer isn't very strong and this is before I used soap and water (after some scrubbing it is almost completely gone).

I love the scent, color is a bit unexpected but it is still pretty. I like the longlasting shine and light stain. I was just checking other shades and at the moment there is only orange one available which I have no interest in but I will check often to see if Roseberry and Dusty Jam will be available and on sale.
