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.

Fwee Guava Crush

 Hello,

this lip balm got me on its hook. When I saw it I knew I had to have it. It looked like limited edition (it is, but only the packaging with the angry melon) and once it will be sold out it should be gone forever,  that is what I thought. I am glad that it stayed and that they released even more shades but if I knew that then I would not be in a hurry, plus the coin bag is not necessary for me. It is cute but I would rather just have the juicy balm.

It is Fwee Glowy Smoothie tinted lip balm in Guava Crush. I was debating if I should get the lighter pink as well but at the end I decided to get only one since each would come with this little bag. It is cute and all but I don't know what to use it for, I already have a coin purse which serves its purpose already.

There was also the nude option which did not interest me at the time but now when I see more photos it looks great and I am interested in that one too.

Angry little melon baby again, it does make me smile and I guess that is the point. To make every day a bit brighter just by looking at the lip balm :)

It has this standard lip gloss, liquid balm applicator (no donuts here) and it is easy to use.

Color is on the sheer side and it is easy to use while on the go, without a mirror. It is very glossy and has no shimmers. Shine lasts a little over one hour.

Scent on this Guava Crush option is fruity and a bit green (I don't know how guava smells like, I have never tried this fruit in my life). Recently I tried Catrice lip balm with guava scent and that one was sweeter while this one is not sweet like that. It is more juicy fruity and green, I prefer the Catrice one but somehow I think this one is more realistic guava scent, I imagine fruit smelling like this one not like Catrice version.

I like the cute packaging, scent is up my taste, scent is different but lovely and even longevity is decent. I really like this one and now I am checking some other shades as well. They have green one which I think is clear with spf, that could be also interesting but maybe for next year. I wonder why not all of them have spf...

Ginger Sugar

 Hello,

I have purchased this Etude duo since I wanted to try out the serum. It is supposed to be very balm like and super glossy. I love everything glossy snd this one looked right up my alley. 

They are Etude Ginger Sugar Lip Serum in Plum Jam (13 ml) and mini Ginger Sugar Overnight Lip Mask (6 g).

Overnight mask does have slight scent and a little taste (thank good since I am not a big fan of ginger) but the formula is very firm and a little goes a long way.

Serum has one of the largest doe foot applicators and at the end there is a dip where the product builds up (on the photo that is not visible since there is a product there, for me this applicator hold way too much product but I just wipe some of it to the sides). Serum has a a little stronger ginger scent but no burning sensation, that is just fine with me.

Overnight mask is a bit milky but on the lips is completely clear. The amount on my hand is huge, I would split it into three parts and wore it accordingly. If I wear too much it gets sticky and stringy but when applied a little is forms a coat over my lips and sticks for hours (it reminds me of vaseline). At the moment my lips aren't chapped but I presume this one will be great addition to my winter care. It feels like I could also apply it over some pesky dry areas all over my body. 

Plum Jam is gorgeous, it can be worn full on but I find this shade a bit dark, on my swatch I sheer it out and I am showing you the shade as I wear it on my lips. I have a soft spot for these mauve tones since they make my red lips a bit more muted while the intensity remains (my natural lip shade is rarely pale, I have natural redness to them and this type of shades take away the bright red tones but still make me look pretty natural). The shine is very intense even when I sheer it out, the gloss stays for way over one hour. I love this gloss so much that I am already looking at other shades. My first pick was actually Nudy Beige but it was unavailable so I picked my other favorite. I think I will now get almost all other shades :)

P.S. When was the last time you saw lip gloss in this format holding 13 ml of product?

Numond and Baby Apricot

Hello,

this brand intrigued me for a while now and finally I picked out some of their lippies.

They are Alternative stereo and I picked from their Candy Sweets line (I love the muted nude tones at the moment) lip potion caramel glaze in Numond and I have received mini Baby Apricot shade from the same line. 

Numond is regular sized and holds 8 ml and mini Baby Apricot has only 1,5 ml but there is enough product just to try it out.

Regular sized one has a bit wider applicator and carries a bit more product while they shaped the one in a mini slimmer to get it out of thinner bottle.

Surprisingly there is no scent to them, somehow I expected caramel...

Numond is very light nude with a touch of peach to it. On my lips it is visible, it makes my lips a tad lighter and at first a bit sinks into my lines but after a few minutes it is okay and it looks nice. I wear it whenever I prefer my lips to be paler than usual.

Baby Apricot is a bit more vivid without being too bright but it still falls into nude territory. It gives my face a little color, a little life.

Formula is glossy (I love applying one and a half layers to even out shades), they look light but are actually quite pigmented. I have zero complaints against colors (I love both but I think Baby Apricot is a bit more practical for me), they look lovely on their own or layered with each other.

Shine lasts for about one hour, I wish it would be a bit more longlasting  but it is okay. I still like them a lot and there are a few more shades that peak my interest.

Mellowy Cheek

 Hello.

this lip balm has been on my radar for a while but I did not like any of the offered shades, at least up until this collection came out.

It is Peripera Ink Mood Glowy Balm in the shade Mellowy Cheek. The packaging is limited editon and I also believe the shade is limited as well. This one looked rosy among orange and fuchsia toned shades that they released among this line.

I was surprised that the shade looked more peach toned, it looks nice but not what I expected from the swatches.

Shade is pretty sheer, it just compliments my lips while giving them plenty of shine. Surprisingly there is no scent (their lip glosses have this lovely Strawberry Milkshake scent) and application is smooth. 

It leaves no stain which isn't surprising since it is so pale but it can be build up.

I love that the shine surpasses one hour.

I am really pleasantly surprised by it, I really like it. I went to check other available shades at the moment and there is only a few but the rest look more pigmented and not the shades I would enjoy at the moment, I think for a while I will not be buying more but I will be checking if they will have more shades up to my liking and get them then.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Nutty Vague, Rose Finch, Dim Mauve and Cream Shell

 Hello,

I am back with some more of Rom&nd glosses but one of them has slightly different formula. It feel like an imposter :)

They are Rom&nd Glasting Color Gloss in Nutty Vague, Rose Finch, Dim Mauve and Cream Shell. I placed them in number order. I thought that I had nearly all of them but Rom&nd released even more pale shades (inspiration came from Cream Shell) and more shimmery shades (which I think is a great move).

Applicator is pretty standard and this is a photo of Cream Shell, formula on this one is a bit thicker and more pigmented than on the rest.

Here they are in order, applied with just one swipe.

Nutty Vague is warmer toned nude but on my already red lips it just tones them down and made them look a bit peachy.

Second is Rose Finch and this one is a bit more vivid compared to the rest, quite red but still can be sheered out and it looks natural one. It compliments my natural lip color and makes my lips look a bit more even.

Next is Dim Mauve and I expected something a bit more mauve but due to its sheerness color does not stand out, it gives me similar effect than the first shade minus the warmth.

Lastly there is Cream Shell. This one is very pale nudy-pink and it is way more pigmented, it can be a bit sheered out but not as much as the rest. This one is also a bit too pale for me and it seeps into my fine lines, after a few minutes it is okay (I just apply it while I am still doing my make up and by the time I am done it looks fine) and it is wearable but my lips aren't red anymore but quite pale. It is definitely a look but not something I would wear every day.

I feel like first three shades are my favorite while Cream Shell is a bit pale for me, I think I can still wear it since it changes my make-up tremendously and sometimes I need my look to be different than any other day. 

I feel like Nutty Vague and Dim Mauve would be used up first just because they are sheer, Rose Finch has brighter color payoff and it fill take more time (I can't apply two or three layers since it is so red) and lastly Cream Shell would be used up last, since I don't use a lot of product when I do wear it and even then I feel like wearing it for the day and after that I would reach for a shade that looks more like 'me' :)

Now I am curious how other shades look which were recently released and were inspired by Cream Shell. They have two pinky red shades and one cool toned one which peak my interest.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day
