Brow Pencil

 Hello,

I purchased this pencil because it was dirt cheap. I think my sister used to used this one for years and she loved it. I was never a brow pencil kind of gal but I decided to try it out so I can see if it is really so easy to use.

Pencil is Etude Drawing Eye Brow in Dark Grey. It has two sides, on one side is pencil and other holds a brush. To use it I had to remove the white sticker which left me with a sticky residue which I still have not completely removed.

It has a brow brush and I kind of love that, it makes my brows more even and if I apply too much it removes the excess. 

I find this triangle shape to be different and nice because I can choose how thick my line can be. This is definitely a plus but pencil itself is quite dry and I don't notice that on my brows but making swatches on the back on my hand felt too dry.

Swatches on my hand are a bit pale because the pencil is dry and pulls on my skin. It can get deeper but only with a few layers. My brows are black but grey pencil works the best since it looks a bit more natural but only if I don't go over the same line a few times then it gets pretty dark and intense.

I actually like this pencil but often I forget to use it because I am just so used to use brush with a powder (this is my usual ritual for brows). It still feels weird to use the pencil but it works and for traveling it is much more convenient.

Litchi Coral & Pink Pumpkin

 Hello,

I wanted to try out this highly praised line of lip tints and because I could not pick just one I choose two shades.

They are Rom&nd Juicy Lasting tint in Litchi Coral and Pink Pumpkin. I did not expect these two to be so similar, they have different undertones though.

Applicator is longer and they carry a lot of product, I need to wipe a bit off since lighter layers work better for me. Once one layer sits for a minute I can go over with the second and it will not lift the base layer otherwise it removes it (if I apply one thick coat or follow with a second layer too soon).

Scent is fruity, nothing specific just fruity and even that scent isn't strong and quickly disappears.

First swatch is fresh and second is remaining stain of Litchi Coral. It is red with coral tone but leaning towards cool tone, especially compared to the second shade. It is very bright and vibrant, fresh swatch and stain are both very vivid.

Third and fourth are Pink Pumpkin. Not much of pink but rather an orange red, kind of tomato soup red shade, also very vivid and bright on the fresh and dried swatch.

I expected these two to look more sheer but I guess a lot of people swatch them lightly and I pretty much always end up with too much. I need to learn how to apply little and blend it with my fingers because wands carry a lot of product.

They aren't super glossy and shine fades quickly but stain is long lasting. On my top lip these two again do  that weirdness when my upper lip line is tinted and the remaining of my upper lip stays the same. It is not super intense but with red shades it is still noticeable. I figured that this formula just isn't for me.

Petal Primavera

 Hello,

I recently rediscovered one of my older blushes and I am very glad that I did.

It is Milano Baked blush in Petal Primavera. I was looking at some of the more famous shades but they seemed a bit too glowy, then I found this baby and I think I found a true gem.

It has pinky-nude-peach color to it and it looked like it would be sateen, no specific particles and glowy bits. I only wish that the veining would be more obvious (there is some but so pale that it is barely noticeable).

Shade is somewhat unique mix of warm tones and it depends from the angle you look at it. On the curvature of my cheeks it shows up and it looks like I have used multiple colors.

There is sateen finish and there are some fine sparkles thrown in the mix. I made these swatches just with my finger so these swatches are a bit stronger than what I wear applied with a brush. I also think that tapping off the excess removes these random shimmers and it has beautiful glow.

This blush is really beautiful and it is one of my favorites. I think that this shade looks beautiful on me, it can be really subtle and lets the glow do the talking but applied with one extra layer it gets stronger and less subtle. It also can be the star and vocal point of my make-up.

Now I am even more inclined to try other shades and see if there is some other shades with the same finish. I would love to have a brown one, bronzer with this glow. I think this would be really beautiful.

Awesome Apple and Bee Mine

 Hello,

I purchased two more juicy bombs. They are very inexpensive and easy to use. These two are newer and one looked like it has a pretty shade and other one convinced me with their alleged scent.

They are Essence juicy bomb shiny lip glosses in their newer shades. Little Sunshine is named Awesome Apple and yellow one is Bee Mine with advertised honey scent :)

Bee Mine is older and has older top than the Awesome Apple, I think new ones will all have this more angular cut applicator.

The size of the tube remains at the 10 ml.

Awesome Apple looks like it has pink pearl effect while still in the tube but on the swatch and my skin it is barely noticeable but if I apply more I can see it but then I risk spilling it down towards my chin. These juicy bombs have always have pretty liquid and thin texture which also does not last very long.

Scent on this pink one is slight but it reminds me of sour apple.

Second one I have been looking at for a while now, I wanted the honey scent but yellow gold shimmers aren't my thing but when I put first one in my shopping cart I put this second one as well, to have company in transit :)

Bee Mine has a bit of honey scent but once it is on the lips I can't smell it anymore, surprisingly I can taste it :) It has this sweet honey taste which makes me want to lick it all of because it is so delicious. Random yellow glitter particles all of a sudden don't bother me :)

I like the Awesome Apple one but Bee Mine takes the cake. I can see myself using it all up and getting a new tube of sweet honey goodness.

Bunny tints

 Hello,

I am back with these two cute bunnies. 

I just wanted to commemorate the sweet box design. I purchased two out of three, the middle deeper rosy shade didn't look like something for me so I left it out of my shopping basket.

I decided to get Peripeera Ink Mood Glowy Tint in Joking Pink and Hurry Up Pink. Each holds standard 4 ml of product.

At first the packaging looked standard until I looked closer the lids. Each has a bunny in them, such a delicate, barely there design but it makes me happy whenever I see them.

Also there are standard wands, easy to use and they carry enough product.

First two are Joking Pink and this shade has warm pink undertones, almost leaning towards peach. I feel like this one brightens my face and looks pretty natural on me. I like this one a lot.

Third and fourth swatches are Hurry Up Pink, it is much cooler and deeper. Has almost a violet touch to it.

I find this one to be a bit dark and deep on me so I prefer to wear it pretty sheer.

They apply semi glossy but after a few minutes full juicy shine is revealed and it sticks, after a good hour when it starts "drying" it leaves a stain. My stain swatches are pretty sheer because I did not used that much product but for me these are realistic swatches, that is hoe they look on me and to be honest they aren't that different.

After I removed "fresh" swatches stains were stronger and more distinguishable but I don't wear them so intensely.

I really like Peripera lip stains in general, they are one of my favorite formulas and I don't know if I will love the new ones just as much... I have not tried them out.

Out of these two Joking Pink is my favorite and I will get a lot of wear out of it :)

Love to Fight?

 Hello,

this blush looks beautiful while still in the box. They just made a cut out to show off the happy sun :)

Sunny compact is GirlCult Nanyang Holiday Collection Mood blusher powder in the option Love to Fight.

The other two version are more neutral and natural looking browns.

Packaging is beautiful, different from anything else I have ever seen. Sun is raised and touchable but the blue background is just a sticker, if wet it lifts, don't ask me how I know :(

Inside is gorgeous, not just the imprint but the two colors. Vivid watermelon red mixed with pale pastel blue, such a unique color scheme. I also love that there is a mirror inside for easy application.

Shade on my swatches comes out a bit pale in comparison with real life. It is reddish pink, bright and 

lively. 

I have to be careful not to apply too much because it can quickly turn too much but if I am careful it looks lively.

I like to wear it on my cheeks when my eye make-up is neutral and minimal, this blush somehow looks natural but if I put a smidge more it takes and carries the look. I look naturally flushed and I have nothing else in my collection that is similar.

This blush is special and I have nothing else in my collection which could come close. I like the design and the output. I think this shade looks like I am naturally flushed, no matter how vivid still it looks natural and I love that.

This blush is now one of my favorite ones, I will definitely look into their blushes a bit more carefully and see if there is something else for me :)

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Fwee duos

 Hello,

I got some more of these lovely Fwee lip glosses. I find that they have really nice sheer shades with decent longevity. 

This time I purchased two sets, each includes one limited edition mini. They are Fwee 3D voluming glosses. Peachy duo is 70% Vanilla and mini is 70% Peach Oolong. Bottom two are 70% Yogurt (this one I wanted ever since I lay my eyes on it months ago) and 70% Rose Hip.

This packaging is already small looking but minis are extra small but at the same time super cute, I hope they will also release them in a regular size as well.

They still have that sweet fruity scent which is nice and makes me want to wear them all the time.

Here I first swatched mini Rose Hip and second is Yogurt. I can see why they packaged them together. Shades look nice together and can create lovely gradient but I still prefer the lighter Yogurt version :)

Next is the warmer duo, first or third swatch is Peach Oolong and second is Vanilla. I like the peachy mini, it pulls a bit into nude territory and at the moment I really like this color scheme but I am so glad that I have finally tried Vanilla. I love that it has some brightness, it leans a bit coral but it is still light and translucent.

They are still some of my favorite lip glosses, the scent is gorgeous and shine is glossy but not sticky. Shades are see-through but that is what makes them so pretty, I think they wear so well when my lips are pale or when I have more pigment, they just accentuate my natural coloring and lightly push it towards its tone. 

I see that they just came out with a new Vanilla Dessert and have two new shades... I am intrigued.
