Hollywood Dream

 Hello,

when I saw this pretty affordable brand I was a bit sceptical especially since there isn't whole lot of swatches available online, at the end I found extra discount and picked one shade to try it out.

All of their shadows have this cream packaging which is not a representation of the shade inside. It is Oulac Cream Shadow Stick in the shade Hollywood Dream.

Shade looks very interesting straight from the pencil but once it melts into the skin it is not as speckled. Formula is creamy and it glides with ease.

On my skin is taupe/brown with a neutral/cool undertone. I like that there is plenty of shimmer and since it is packed it never disappears and I like a shimmery eye.

Shadow is creamy and I like to blend it with my finger to soften the edges and sheer it out but shimmer remains and after a few seconds when it sets it does not move. I can wear it alone or topped off with some powder shadow and it works also as a primer for my very oily lids.

I like the multi dimensional shadow, because it can be easily used as one and done shadow. It looks different from different angles and then the shimmer also adds to the glow.

I think I picked really a stunner, they also have a lot of matte shades but I know myself and I tried shimmery one.

I love this shadow for how longlasting it is even without a primer underneath, I love the shade and finish. It can be sheered out or build up, it gives me a lot of possibilities and I can see myself using it a lot and even buying more shades.

Apparently Hollywood Dream in also my dream :)

Lovesick Bell

 Hello,

I am back with more Dinto products, every lip product that they have looks intriguing to me.

It is Dinto Deep-Kissed Plumping Lip Enamel in the shade Lovesick Bell. With the plumping in the name I should have known but I still decided to give it a go.

I like how the applicator has a little dip to carry product, scent is delightfully fruity, reminiscent of juicy grape and I love how longlasting it is.

It does not tingle but there is light coolness to it and it lasts for about half an hour. I think it would be nice in the Summer to cool down.

Formula is buildable and can be applied heavy or sheered out to getting that hint of coral brightness. I like how it brightens my complexion but a little pigment settles into my lip lines, it is not very bad but up close it is noticeable.

It is not mirror like glossy but the shine lasts for about 1,5 hours and then another half an hour it is a bit shiny, it has that lip balm slight glow.

I like the scent and shade is very pretty, the longevity is amazing because if I am doing errands I just put it on and go.

I wish it would be glossier and create super shiny lips. 

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

New package no. 4

 Hello,

this is the last part of this particular shopping basket. I think I picked up very exciting items and some of them are already in the testing period. 

On the top left corner there are two Holika Holika My Fave Piece Shadows in Honeyed Peach and bottom one is Peach Oolong Tea. I am craving some peach and coral toned shadows and these have some shimmer in it. I can't wait to try them out.

Next are two lip pencil from one of my favorite brands. They are Heart Percent Dote on Mood Line Proof Lip Pencils in Beige Salmon and Haze Mauve. I have tried so many amazing product from them that I just had to try out their lip pencils.

Then there are super popular Nuse Reju Lip Glosses in dark Fig Drizzle and pretty in pink Bunny Fizz. They always look so juicy on everyone lip that I wanted to experience it too. I hope they will look the same on me and that I picked the right shades.

Still in the packaging is Joocyee Glitter Eyeshadow single, this time I picked Cold Silver Gun shade which is supposed to be very intense and my vision is that it will look magical in colder months. I can't wait to try it out.

Big palette is Bbia Essential Eye Palette and I picked Your Mauve option. I know that trying so many new palettes from the unfamiliar brand isn't too smart but I wanted to get this one for a long time but it was constantly sold out (other 6 pan palettes from them were just a bonus, an instant crave).

Lastly but not least is Coralhaze Dew Drop Tint in the color option Fairy. I was impressed with the first one that I purchased a while ago that when I saw this pretty pink I picked it up to expand this line.

New package no. 3

 Hello,

I am back with more cute items from this shopping haul.

My amazement for the Dinto items continues. I picked two Prelude La Belle Rose Plumping Lip Tints in Dusk Rose and Dawn Rose. These two really got me, on promo photos they looked magical.

Stripy JudyDoll item is from their Sporty Series Liquid Eyeshadow and I picked up Pink Challenge option. It is creamy and matte but the more you rub the more sparkles formula reveals, it looked super cool plus the shade looked like it would be my cup of tea.

In the box is Cherryep single color eyeshadow in the E018, it is sparkly light pink shade. It looks like it would be perfect for wintery looks, ice princess but nice and innocent one :)

Under is a whole palette from Cherryep. It is their Quad Eyeshadow Palette and it is named Grayish Iris (it has more taupe than grey shades in but it is a beauty none the least.

Bunny ears are Hyntoor signature. I picked only one item and it is from their Pink Planet Watery collection and mine is P01. It is supposed to be reddish pink but mine is light orange... very different from their photos... I wanted to try some of their cool tones, lavender and grayes but weren't available now I am not sure I will pick more, I guess it depends from the formula.

In the center is Lilybyred Sugar Wrapping Tint Gloss in the Honey Tomato option. I love trying glossy lip tints, I think high shine and lasting color are a great combination and I think I am still looking for the next best thing, maybe this will be it.

I picked another Bbia Ready to Wear Eye Palette, this one is from their Apple Edition (I already have pink tint and shimmery green gloss), it is named Apple Blush. Shades looked pretty, the top right red shade is a bit scary but I guessed I can wear it on my cheeks or use it to warm up other shades, I have plans :)

Last is super reflecting Missha Dewy Glos Eyes single shadow in the color option White Beach. It looks like wet effect shadow and I am over the moon to get it. For a while it was out of stock and they had the orange version available. I was on the verge to get that one but I know it would not be it, I wanted the white one and waiting patiently worked out for me. I finally have it. 

I am super excited to try these items, there are some that I have already swatched, I just could not resist.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

New package no. 2

 Hello,

I have some more goodies from my last purchase. This was made from new to me store and they have so many items I have not tried... I know I don't need to try them all but the urge is strong.

First is a mini Flortte Twin Butterfly Series Lip serum in the shade B00 Shattered Sheer Gray. I was inspired by the mini Alternative Stereo gloss with a sheer black base, I hoped that this one would give me similar effect.

Next is Laka mini Fruity Glam Tint in the highly anticipated shade named Peaches. I liked it for a while and decided to pick first just a mini to test it out. I already have deep brown shade which is nice but a bit deep. This one is brighter and lighter, I am excited.

Nude stick is Oulac Cream Shadow Stick. I picked the shade Hollywood Dream since it looked like a pretty cool toned sparkly shade. There was very little photos online so this purchase was mostly blind.

Big pink pillow is Cheeryep Pillow Gem Highlighting Powder in Drinking Galaxy and under is black one which is Pillow Gem Eye Shadow Palette in Chill Monlight. Packaging is bulky but the product inside is gorgeous. My highlighter is slightly cracked in one corner but I don't mind, most of it is still intact.

I picked another Rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tint from their Spring Fever edition and I picked Mellow Pear. It looked light and pretty nude. Out of all the red shades that I picked I wanted something that I would wear everyday. 

In the middle there is Flortte Sea Pearl Series Lipstick and I decided to get only one shade and I chose Pink Crystal. Pretty pink with shimmers, it was supposed to be glossy and shimmery. Upon opening it looks more peachy than pink... it looks nice but not quite what I was expecting.

Last two items are Etude Look at My Eyes My Own Gemstone collection. There were plenty of shades to choose but since they are shimmery some of them looked similar to one another so i did not want to pick too many but my love for sparkles took over and I picked two, Pink Crystal and Peace of Amethyst. They look like different types of shimmer so I am glad with my pick. 

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

New package no. 1

 Hello,

I did another damage to my wallet, there were so many items in my shopping cart that I purchased them before they would be sold out.

First eye shadow palette is Bbia Ready to Wear Palette in Nude Brush and second below is Warm Beige. They looked similar to one of my favorite 2aN palette, not exactly color wise but the palettes looked like the same format and I wanted to see how they compare.

Silver bullet is Dinto Overload Lip Glaze Cendrillion Collection in the shade Valse. On the model this one looked like a juicy coral shade and something I would wear with joy, fingers crossed that it will look the same on me.

Next is AOU Glowy Tint Balm in the option Mulberry Balm. I really wanted to try out these potted balms and this shade looked like Winter time and I am excited.

Another Dinto is Deep-Kissed Plumping Lip Enamel from Peter & Wendy Collection in the shade Lovesick Bell. I had a hard time choosing the shade so I picked the cheapest to try out. If I will like it then I will get some other ones as well :)

Cat in the boots is too funny and I kept the product hidden inside. I think I will keep the box to make me smile. Inside is Dinto Blur-Jelly Plumping Lip Tint from Le Chat Botte Colection and I picked Muhly Gelee shade, it is supposed to be soft pink.

Pink tube next to it is Peripera Ink Glasting Lip Gloss in long anticipated shade Love Of Fate. I was craving this light, pastel pink for so long and when it was in stock I had to get it. I already love the formula and on all the photos this looked like the perfect baby pin shade, I just know I will love it.

Bright tube is another Dinto, this one is from Frozen Lip jelly Snedronningen Collection and I choose Kai shade. It looked like a bright coral shade and I am picky when it comes to corals plus I don't think I have enough of them :)

Last is curvy Heart Percent Dote on Mood Over Melting gloss in rich Nudy Cocoa color. I like all of the products I tried from them and when I saw they have lip glosses I had to pick one shade to try them out. I picked brown/nude to prepare for rich Autumnal weather. 

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Empties

 Hello,

this time around I did not used up a whole lot of products but there are some that are just a few uses away from being done. I predict next month there will be a big pile of empties.

I will start with the first bottle which is Aveo Pomegranate body wash. Scent was fruity and fresh but the texture is a bit too runny for my liking. I think it gets used up too fast. I purchased another one at the shame time and I am currently using it but then I probably will not get it again, even though it is cheap.

On top there is Nivea Pearl & Beauty anti-perspirant. My arm pits were still sweating but the scent wasn't too icky :) Scent of this product was light and floral, I like it. It is advertised to not leave white stains and because I wear almost exclusively black I got to test the claim. Sometimes I did notice light white stains when I was putting my clothes on, so it is not completely true and I made sure that it dried completely, but I never noticed white on my arm pits when I would take my shirt off, so it is not the worst formula. I still think I prefer the Pearl version.

I used up another Catrice Ultra Last Fixing Spray. I still think it is the best and I hope they never discontinue it. If I apply too much it can feel like hair spray but if I apply modest amount it feels like nothing. It adds a bit glow (there are no shimmers in it) which looks natural and then I powder my face to lock everything in. If I apply a lot of powder then my face will stay matte almost all day long but if I do just a little then towards my 8h shift I get a bit glowier but my make-up still stays put. 

Below them is Afrodita Cherry Blossom body mousse. Older product but I hope they still make it. It had light mousse like texture with pink beads which popped after massaging them into my skin. Scent was cherry blossom and very nice, perfect for going to bed. I would love to have it again.

There is another body lotion, this one is The Body Shop Black Musk Night Bloom body lotion. I purchased it and then forgot about it. When I rediscovered it the scent from the bottle seemed fine. It was rich, musky and floral, to my nose gorgeous but when I tried to put it on there was something off and I had to part with it before finishing it. I know this is the price for having too many items and probably some more items will go bad if I won't stop buying products I already have.

Big tall bottle is Batiste Blush dry shampoo, it is one of my favorite scents. I like the formula, I think it works fine and it is not too white plus the scent is gorgeous. I still have some more bottles left and then I will definitely buy this one again.

Blue bottle is Biotherm Aqua Bounce Super Concentrate. I liked the semi liquid texture and I used it under my regular night moisturiser to hype more hydration. I liked it but i don't think it made some drastic changes to my skin. I am glad that it is used up and the bottle can be recycled now. It is made of glass and I was always scared that it would slip through my fingers and crack the tile or sink :)

A little while ago I purchased this Catrice Body Repair base nail polish. I was using it weekly and honestly I have not noticed any change in my nails. My nails are starting to get brittle and softer because of colder weather and no nil polish can solve that. I liked that it dried fast and after two coats it made my nails a bit smoother (formula was not thick). I liked it but then again I am not picky when it comes to nail bases.

Last but not least is Dinto Soft - Glow Liquid Cheek Thumbelina Par Ave Maria blush. I would describe it as a mauve blush and formula was not my favorite (thankfully I only had a mini). When I started blending it into my cheek it disappeared, so little pigment stays on my cheek, but if I don't blend edges aren't smooth and I don't like it. I mostly used it on my lips, just a dab and I was done, thankfully the whole bottle was gone pretty quickly and I will not be buying it again.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day
