Purity and See-Through

 Hello,

these are different because of their odd applicator, I guess the brand name gives it away :)

Oddtype Unseen Ballon tint in Purity and See-Through. Packaging is rather big on these but the product inside is only 3g. They call them tints but there is no stain left behind, to me they are lip glosses.

These have the weirdest applicators ever. They look like eye shadow brushes, super dense with tons of product. They are soaked and carry way too much, I got used to just wipe the excess over the edge of the tube not to waste any.

Purity is light peach shade, quit sheer on the lips and color barely shows  on my lips (to make these swatches I used a lot of product just to show the colors).

See-through is a true lavender shade, it has a little more pigment and to create this swatch I used less than Purity.

There is no scent or taste and the shine is incredible. They have this formula when they apply semi glossy but after a few minutes turn mirror like. I love the effect and the shine lasts over one hour.

The finish is beautiful and the applicator is pure joy to use. I am looking into soft pink shade with some shimmer. I know I shouldn't get it but I just might splurge.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Empties

 Hello,

this is the second part of my March empties, this pack is made of smaller items but I am still glad t muve them in the recycling bin.

Let start with a Catrice Gel like top coat. It had a nice consistency and created very shiny, glossy top coat over my nail polishes. I liked this one but there are others which I find just as good as this one.

Second is Kneipp Apricot & Marula lip balm. I had high hopes for it but it felt short. The scent is sweet and nice but the texture is hard and after a few minutes (after it warms up on my lips) it gets sticky, it felt like I applied glue on my lips and I decided that it is just not worth it. Mine isn't completely finished but I don't care, I don't like it enough to finish it.

First gloss is Catrice from My Jewels, My Rules collection in the option Apricot Crush. It had light apricot base with shimmers but the color did not translate onto the lips. It had weird soapy scent. It was okay but nothing worthy of repurchasing for me.

Next is my bellowed Catrice lip gloss obsessed in Same gloss, different day shade. Pale pinky nude shade and with the most gorgeous gourmand scent. On the lips shade wasn't obvious but the feeling was exquisite and I loved that. It doesn't hold much product but it also doesn't cost much so I can see myself repurchasing it in the near future.

Pink bottle is Nyx #this is everything lip oil. It was clear lip oil with no scent and with a thin formula. If I applied too much it started dripping down my chin, if I applied regular amount then it was gone after a few minutes (from 10 to 15 min) and that resulted in me constantly reapplying it and this 8 ml bottle was soon finished. I will not be buying it again because this did nothing for hydration and my lips quickly dried up.

This mini Clarins Wonder Volume XXL mascara made clumps and I don't love that. At first it was okay but the longer I had it opened the more obvious it would get, to top that off it dropped my curl and then my lashes looked sad and straight. I had nicer mascaras or maybe more suited for my stubborn lashes, so I will not be buying big size.

Last bottle is Lancome Idole EDP. I love this scent and I have already used up one 25 ml bottle (I still have a large one left :). This is just a mini but the gorgeous fresh and sweet Rose scent lingers all day long and it just makes me happy :) Ten out of ten scent for me.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Empties

 Hello,

this end of the month really creeped on me. March came and went by way too fast for me.

First I have Taft heat protection hair spray. It had a nice sprayer but I don't have any special feelings about it. I never know if a heat protection works, I just try to use it every time I use heat to at least pretend I care for my hair. I liked this one but I still have a few others that I need to use up first before going shopping.

Next is Too cool for school Egg Remedy Hair Pack hair mask and it is really nice. It is rather thicker paste and because of it it grips on the hair and deeply conditions them. It has beautiful warm and floral scent. The best were the results, my hair were silky and smooth after using it and now I can't find it anymore :( I would buy ten more if I could, my hair love it and the scent lingered through the next day.

Then there is Korres French Lilac body lotion. It is a bit thicker than the rest from the line and the scent is realistic and super strong. I had a few of their lotions before and scents were only meh, but this one is gorgeous and longlasting. I would get this one again.

In the morning I used Chloe Nomad body lotion all over (on top I would spray the matching perfume). This has a beautiful scent and I liked it even better than the perfume. There is juicy Mirabelle scent with Oakmoss and some woody notes. Very likeable and fresh for the Spring. I would get it again, perhaps next year.

In the back there is Avon anew purifying jelly cleanser with charcoal extract. I expected this one to be black in color but it was clear gel. It didn't foam much but I felt like it did their job without stripping my skin. I still have a bunch of face washes that I need to use up but this one wasn't bad at all.

Green bottle is Nuxe Marine Seaweed skin correcting moisturising fluid for oily skin. It has heavenly honey scent but the texture is a bit weird. It just sits on top of my skin at first. It creates white lotion streaks but after 10 min it starts absorbing and creating matte effect on the skin. I like it the most for the scent, but those streaks bother me and I will not be buying it again.

Last bottle with blue label is It's Skin Firefighter enriched with Licorice root extract to help soothe, evening out the skin tone and brightening. I liked using it because of its light texture but I have not noticed any big difference in my skin tone so probably I will not be buying it again.

Pink Diamond

Hello,

this was a highly anticipated product for me. I envisioned soft pink glow to come out of it and I hoped it will be everything I hopped for.

Here it is Amuse Face Diamond in Pink Diamond shade. As far as I know this is the only shade available and it looks pretty pink with almost a bit of peach tint in it. I was expecting a beautiful sateen finish since there is no particles visible in the pan.

Nothing in here sparkles and I thought that this would have pinky base with a sateen finish, great as a blush toper or just worn alone to bring some color back to my face with lovely glow.

This Pink Diamond swatches very different. On the skin it is rather golden and sparkles, it is actually made of shimmer when I see it up close.

For me this is a bit too sparkly and I don't love to wear it on my cheeks. I mostly wore it as an eyeshadow.

I first tried to made a 'hard' swatch and then blend it out to show individual sparkles. No matter what I do it is still predominately golden. Applied with brush it has a hint of pink in there but too little for my camera to pick it up.

On the photo below there is a finger swatch and there you can see a bit of pink base with golden glow. I think pink base doesn't transfer, it stays on the finger if applied with it. My eyelid looked slightly more pink when applied with the brush opposed to the other side applied with a finger.

It is nice if you like this type of golden, sparkling highlighter. For me this is merely golden eyeshadow and I don't even love gold on my eyes. 

I am still thinking if I should keep it or give it to my sister to try it out.

Sweety Cream and Cotton Candy

 Hello,

I have two sheer cuties for today with some fun stars in them.

I have Etude Over Glowy Glosses in Sweety Cream and Cotton Candy. Top one with the more pink tube is nude and bottom one with lighter packaging hides soft pink gloss. I wish they would make see through tubes.

Inside the lid there are three stars and rattle a bit when shaken, it is fun but I love that there is a heart shape when seen from above.

Applicators are super long and bend to really hug the lip but are a bit hard to get back inside the tube. Both shades are light and sheer but so very satisfying to look at.

First is Sweety Cream, peach nude, very pale and at first it does sip into my fine lines but after a few minutes is okay. It is not very pigmented to make a big impact. Second is Cotton Candy, baby pink shade which is even more sheer (to make this pink swatch I had to make two layers of this one, while the nude  one is made with only one layer).

They are glossy with very little color payoff. I wish there would be a bit more but I always prefer less than too much pigment. They also have sour grape scent to them and I love them. Shine lasts for one hour, it could be better but okay.

I think they look nice but if they added a bit more color and prolong the shine I would get more of them but now I don't think I would repurchase them.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

GirlCult Four Great Inventions series emotion blushers

 Hello,

for today I have two chunky cheek products and they surprised me in the best way possible.

They are GirlCult Four Great Inventions series emotion blushers in Leave Blank and True Color. One highlighter and other looked like a contour or bronzer shade.

The packaging is bulky and very different from everything I ever seen before. At first I thought that I have to unzip it, because of the zig zag edge :) I really like the grey stones on top.

They hold 3g of product each.

The imprint in there with a winky sun is beautiful and very pronounced, it will take a while to disappear.

A nice touch is also a mirror inside which is big enough to actually see what I am doing.

Leave Blank has base color but applied with a brush it isn't that visible but the sparkles are there and create that luminous effect. It is highlighting but not obvious, on my skin it looks pretty natural and everyday despite looking like a sparkling white powder.

True Color isn't contour but rather a soft bronzer shade, very natural tone. Not orange but with a hint of peach tones even though the official description says that it is a rosy nude tone. I noticed with some other products that peach tones suit my skin tone very well (I had peach toned highlighter, bright pastel blush and peach toned bronzer, I used all of them up and are no longer sold so now I am looking for similar items). 

These are heavy swatches, when worn on the face they are less visible and softer. 

Highlighter comes off on my face very soft, natural looking and that isn't what I have expected. At first I was a bit annoyed but now I see value in it, the more natural highlighter the easier to use daily.

With the bronzer I immediately knew that it will be the one. It is soft, very blurring and buildable. I can apply very little and blend it out nicely. It looks very natural and the tone is just right for me. This is definitely one of my favorite products.

Both powders are finely mild, have no fallout and are soft to the touch. I am on a lookout for a possible blush from GirlCult, now that I know they have amazing formula.

Canned Peaches

 Hello,

I had this lipstick for quite a while but I just couldn't bring myself to trying it out because I had a different shade on my mind when I was buying it.

It is Veecci essence of water lipstick in the color Canned Peaches. I hopped that it would be peachy but the brand obviously had some other kind of peaches in mind because this one is straight forward red. At the end I give them props for naming it since it has a pretty unique name.

The top of the lipstick has their signature V and the whole packaging follows this heart shape which is also pretty different and nice. 

It is creamy, shimmer free and lovely red. It has a lot of gloss once on the lips. This means that there is no staying power, it prints easily all over the glass and it does not survive eating.

If I stay diligent and not touch my lips it lasts but after 20 min or around that mark it gets a little sticky when I press my lips together also the same happens when I reapply. It is just a bit sticky.

Color is vibrant, red with a touch of watermelon. It looks fresh and lively. The kind of red that screams Spring to me. I would wear it for a nice stroll to the park to go see tulips but wear something else if I would go and get coffee with somebody (I don't love leaving lip prints everywhere especially all over foreign cups).

I really like this packaging and the shade is really nice (I didn't think I would love it that much upon seeing it in person) but it grew on me after wearing it the very first time. 

I also like that it is glowy but the longevity is poor and it leaves prints all over my cups and glasses. The stickiness is also not a positive bonus.

Unfortunately I will not be buying it again or in any other shade option but if they would make them transfer proof I would be interested.
