Agnes Grey

 Hello,

my love for discovering new Dinto lip products continues, I am really impressed with their lippies.

This is Dinto Bronte Melting Lip Balm in the shade 307 Agnes Grey. It is housed in a sleek black elongated packaging with only the brand name indented on the side, thankfully there is a sticker at the bottom with the full name (sometimes there is only a number and with the amount of lip product I own at the moment it is hard to remember them all).

It holds 1,7 g of product which isn't a lot.

I love the shade, for me this is the perfect neutral pink shade and lightness is just right for my skin tone. I like a good pink lip but I am super picky when it comes to tones and this one is definitely one if not my favorite pink.

There is no shimmer and it glides like butter.

Scent is very light, something between rose and fruit scent.

Applied with a few coats reveals the shine, snd barely there shade. My lips have slight red tone so the color shows up a bit more opposed to this swatch on my arm. 

Intense shine lasts for around 20 min and then fades into more balm like glow - no complaints there.

It looks somehow juicy and I love that, color transfer on my cup but a good portion still remains on my lips and even after one and a half hours when the glow is gone the pink tone remains on my lips. It does not stain but drinking does not completely removes the pigment. Other story is with eating, reapplying is a  must.

I like the sleek packaging, barely there scent, shine and shade. I love that it is longlasting and the moisturising properties are present. I would love to pick more shades and perhaps get a backup of this one.

I think it is a nice hybrid between lip balm and a lipstick and the shade is just perfect.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Peony Skin

 Hello,

I have a soft spot for neutral eyeshadows, the lighter/closer to my skintone the better. I know I have too many already but the hunt for the perfect palette continues... usually palettes don't have enough shimmers for me. I love shimmery shadows :)

It is Amuse Eye Color Palette in Peony Skin. This one appeal to me the most but also it was the only one available ;)

I love the neutral light shades with some shimmer and glitter, I never get really immersed with all matte shadows, there has to be some glimmer to peak my interest.

Most of these shades have slight peachy-rosy tone to them while one is cool toned taupe.

First shade is odd, it is called Pearl Beam and it is balm with shimmers. I did not expect balmy texture, I thought that this palette included powders only. 

Second Peony Angel is matte with random shimmer, there is sheer color and since it is paler than my skin it gives me that mood look.

Third is named Blush and it is more ivory than the first shade and matte. It is also sheer but with color payoff, it makes my skin a bit lighter but not too pigmented to look stark. This one and previous shade look very similar on my skin, the main difference is the shimmer.

Blooming is nude with a peach tone with very small shimmer, it is almost sateen finish. It gives my lids just a bit of gentle shade and a bit of glow.

In the middle is Peony Love. This one is special because of the mix of two shades. Honestly I just mix them together, tone is slightly deeper than the shade before.

Last in a row is white/peach toned shade with irregular particles named Jewel Glitter. It is very shiny and reflective.

I love that they included grey toned taupe and named it Pink Taupe. I am a sucker for this type of shades, this tone and intensity are just right for my lid to be defined in a cool way.

Next is Dazzling, warm toned sparkly shade. This one is smoother than Jewell Glitter, it gives more uniformed look and it is warmer in tone.

Adorable is the darkest shade and it adds some depth to the eyes and it leans warm. 

Overall they are light and lean warm but they are not orange or red toned which just isn't what I like. I prefer cool tones but this one is peachy and that works for me. Light and slightly peachy is great for me and the more I wear these shades the more I love them.

First creamy shade looks pretty but since it creases I like to put it on top of my lipstick and wear it on my lips. Next is Peony Angel, creamy white with shimmers and then very similar Blush shade which has no shimmer and is not as stark as a previous shade.

I think I could do without the cream shade Pearl Beam (I wish palette would have white/silver shimmery shade instead) but the other two shades in first line are lovely and I love them.

In the corner there is Blooming (light peach with shimmer) and then there is Peony Love. The only split pan in the palette and here it looks much darker than the previous shade but I use a lighter hand and it is not as dark. It has no shimmer and it is a nice matte to apply all over the lid.

Last in line is Jewel Glitter and here it has almost a mirror like glow. Here I applied it a lot, on my eyes I wear it more in a modest way, more individual glitter than a full layer of glow. I love that it isn't super warm toned.

Only true cool toned shade is Pink Taupe and in some light there is some rosy tones, it is not just your typical grey. It is matte but not dry looking. I love it as an all over the lid shade. Dazzling can be super reflective or if applied more with a dab it can look sparkly. Particles here are all even looking opposed to Jewell Glitter where particles are irregular. Last is Adorable which is the deepest and it almost looks creamy and not powdery dry at all.

I love how all the shades look together and how much I can do with them. I love barely there shadow look on myself and this palette satisfy me more than I thought it would. There are still fun shades thrown in the mix so I don't find this palette to be boring.

The only shade that I don't love is the creamy one, if it would be up to me I would swap it for something else. All the other shades are lovely and different from each other.

I am glad that I picked up this palette since I love the shades and they are very easy to work with.

Peach Bunny & Dew Boksoonga

 Hello,

these cute daisies were on my mind for a while now and when I saw them on sale I pulled the trigger. Usually these are on the more expensive side of spectrum and every bit of sale helps to save my poor wallet. 

They are Amuse Dew Tints in Peach Bunny (bottom) and Dew Boksoonga (top). In the packaging they look different but that is plastic lined from inside, I will not be able to see the product or how far down I am. In a way I would prefer a see through bottle but like so it looks more uniformed and sleek.

Applicators are a bit wider and tapered at the end for a better precision. Formula is on the liquid side and a little goes a long way. After a few minutes it gets glossier but it never reaches that high shine that I love so much.

Scent is acidic fruity, I like it but it is also a bit faint and while on the lips I can't smell it but I can taste it if I lick my lips.

What surprised me a lot is how similar shades are. First few seconds they are different but as the minutes go by they turn into each other. 

Description on their site reads that Peach Bunny is natural peach/pink and Dew Boksoonga in neutral peach. I noticed that when freshly applied Peach Bunny has slight vibrancy to it while Dew Boksoonga is more muted but only after a few minutes the difference disappear and they look alike. I even wore them together, one on each side of my lips and no one could tell that they are actually two different shades.

I now wish to pick more mauve shade which was also on my list, but I decided to pick these two because they looked lighter and more wearable for day to day wear.

They stain evenly and pretty strong after just a short amount of time (to make stain swatches I wiped off the shine after about 15 min). 

I like the cute packaging, shades are nice even though almost the same. Scent/taste is nice but I wish they would have high shine. Tint is strong, even and long lasting which is a huge plus but I don't know if I would buy more shades. 

They are nice  but not catered to my own personal taste. I think I have some other tints which also give me super shine and since that is what I prefer at the moment I will probably refrain from buying more.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Golden Eye

 Hello,

this product interested me for a long time but at the end I received it as a gift with purchase :) I was very happy about that. 

It is Essence Luminous eye tint liquid shadow in the color Gleaming Charm. It holds 6 ml of product which is a lot.

Applicator is lip gloss standard and it is convenient. I like to wipe the amount on the back of my hand and apply it from there to prevent the contamination. This product holds a lot of product and when I use it a little goes a long way.

First swatch is blended out and it looks more like sparse but tiny shimmer with not much base while applied 'normal' it is heavy and super pigmented. It gives super shiny and reflective look but it is not holding the best over my oily lids.

I like that it is not yellow toned but gives off more peachy gold. There is silver and white reflection and that makes the whole look cool toned. I love that since I am not a big fan of yellow toned gold.

If I wear it sparse it does not crease heavily (It hides better) and that is my favorite way of wearing it.

I actually really like this one, now I wonder if they would ever made a true cool toned taupe version...

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Pink Apple Syrup

 Hello,

my love for Bbia continues. They have amazing lip products and I feel like I don't have enough of them.

I purchased these two as part of their apple limited edition. They are Bbia Over Glaze in regular sized Pink Apple Syrup and mini in Fresh. As far as I can tell the little mini is only available in mini version as gift with purchase from this apple collection.

Applicator on a mini is almost the same size but the bottle next to it is tiny. They both have minty scent and slight cooling, I feel like the green one is a little bit more cooling, not by much just a little.

Pink Apple Syrup is peachy pink shade, lovely and pretty cute but I expected this one to be a bit more pink. When I think of pink apple this color comes to mind so I don't know why I expected to be more pink and cool toned.

Fresh one looks light green in the bottle but on the skin it is clear, even on my red toned lips the color does not show up, in a way I am glad since green lips isn't something I would wear.

These two are nice edition to my growing over glaze line of lip glosses. All in all I like both shades, slight cooling does not bother me and longevity is amazing. They both stay glossy up to one and a half an hour. I think I already have a lot of shades but I am always ready to adopt more :)

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Zootopia lips

 Hello,

when I saw how pretty the packaging was I was immediately intrigued. This whole package is full of limited editions and 'somehow' this lip tint jumped right into my shopping basket ;)

It is Tony Moly Zootopia (one of my favorite animated movies) limited edition Perfect Lips Shocking Lip in the shade Coco Balm Shocking. 

I love the packaging even though it is just a sticker motif. I wanted to pick nude tint and I was hoping to get the cool toned one but there where so little swatches available that I was just not sure of what I would get.

It has a applicator with a significant dip which holds a lot of product, for me personally this is too much so I have to wipe a bit against the tube. Scent is strong and reminds me of cherry candy, pretty unique and likeable.

Formula is on the liquid side and a little goes a long way, plus this formula performs better if I apply it in thin layers but I can stack them to deepen the color or just even it out. The shade itself is pretty sheer and my natural reddness of my lips peaks through (if I apply only one layer, more layers provide more coverage).

Coco Balm Shocking looks pretty warm toned nude when applied and only after a few minutes it gets glossy but not super glossy and juicy. Shine is on the modest side.

After 10 -15 minutes color deepens and gets more brown and around 20 min the shine fades, it is not fully matte but it looks like lip balm (here I am talking about the shine/glow intensity).

I personally don't love the initial shade, second swatch is more up my liking but I also wish that they would make them glossy...

It is my personal goal to find the glossiest and the most long lasting lip tint there is. I prefer cooler tones but I settle for neutrals as well, this shade isn't exactly my first pick but lack of swatches online made it hard to predict it.

I love the scent and packaging, I also think that the stain is even and long lasting. I just wish they would be glossier and taht my shade would be more neutral in tone.

I still think I will wear it but more as a base but I don't think I would get more shades.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Soft Pink, Creamy Beige and Mangomee Pink

 Hello,

these were so cute and rising popularity of bouncy blushes got to me. Instead picking just one to try out I picked all three from the collection.

They are Peripera Sunshine Cheek blushes in Mangomee limited edition versions. I choose all three shades in order Soft Pink, Creamy Beige and Mangomee Pink.

Not only they have little desserts on top of the packaging they also have little characters embossed in the product :)

Shades look pretty in the pan and I was super curious how this formula performs. They feel creamy but are not easily moved around - not too creamy or soft. When moving my finger around them they feel creamy but then when I try to transfer they immediately apply like powder (I guess this is the cream to powder formula).

First shade is Soft Pink which is more rosy brown (I once got a pretty bad burn on my face and the next day when it turned to tan, my cheeks had shade which resembled this blush, it looks a mix of tan and burn on me). I like to use it and I think because of that it looks pretty natural on me without of sun exposure.

Middle shade is Creamy Beige which is warm toned beige, this one also looks nice on me but I hoped for a bit peachier tone. This one is also the closest to my skin tone so I need to apply thicker layer or I layer powder blush on top (preferably peach one to accentuate the tone).

Last is Mangomee Pink which is cool and bright pink. This one is the most visible on me since its coolness stands out the most.

I found that formula of these does not mix well with my foundation or my bb creams. When layered on top it would disturb layer underneath so my solution is to use them on bare skin and then apply foundation/bb cream on top but a super thin layer over the blushes so the shades can still show through.

Another minus is the longevity. When I got home from work I noticed that shades faded, they are not strong to begin with but after a few hours they were even less visible.

I think the formula is fun to use but it is just not for me. I think I will be able to use them as base for my powder blushes to be placed on top. So for now I am not thinking of passing them but at the same time I don't see myself buying more blushes with similar formula.
