Nude Beige

 Hello,

for today I have blush which in person looks very pale. This one frighten me that it would not show up on me at all...

It is Dasique Soft Blur Cheek blush in the shade Nude Beige. There were a few other shades available but this more nude shade got my attention but on the model it looked darker, probably because she was paler... 

Packaging is a bit different since it is not a perfect circle and to me it looks a bit like an artist palette (to mix colors for paintings). I like little details like that.

Shade is very milky peachy nude, it has no shimmer or sateen finish, it is matte and from blurring description I did not expect anything else.

To make these swatches I used a little lotion so the blush would have something to grip and the formula is beautiful. Applied with a brush it does kick some powder but it shows up on my cheeks :) I was very happy about it and on me this is light peach blush, I find it very beautiful and kind of modest. It does not command attention but lightly highlights my cheeks, blurring effect is also noticeable.

I find this formula beautiful, it is soft but there isn't much powder fallout, shade is just right for barely there make-up cheeks and I love it. The only thing I noticed is that after a long day it disappeared. I don't think I had any other blush which would do the same. I started layering something a smidge deeper on top and it works perfectly as a blurring base.

Peaches

 Hello,

how cute is this mini :) This time around I picked only one shade among tens that they have... it was hard but I knew that I don't want anything too dark or bright.

It is Laka Fruity Glam Tint in the shade Peaches. Mine is a mini and holds 1,9ml of product.

Applicator feels the same size it is just the handle which is extra short. At first it is odd but after using it I don't even notice how small it is.

It still has that tart and sweet grape scent which I love so much.

Top swatch is freshly applied and bottom is stain.

Shade could be build up to get very bright peach tone but I prefer to wear it in a thinner coat but it does look a bit different on me because of my naturally red lips it makes this shade look a bit deeper. I could try it out with a pale base to achieve this shade but then I don't know if the longevity would be there...

Shine lasts for over one hour and then it starts fading and strong and even stain remains. It is removed when I am eating but just drinking a cup of tea did nothing to it.

I love the shade of this one, I already have Caffeine Rose which I did not pick myself and I honestly prefer this one. Formula is glossy and the stain lasts for hours. I love this formula and will probably get more shades.

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.

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.

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...

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.
