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.

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

The Cool Rose

 Hello,

new Catrice releases are rolling out and this palette among some lippies caught my eyes. Cool toned palette, with zero golden sparkles? I'm in.

It is new Catrice The Cool Rose eye shadow palette, filled with pinks and greys. There are two shimmery shades and they look beautiful... so much that I was scared that they would disappoint so I first started testing the mattes and towards the end I was trying the shimmery shades.

I think there is a nice variety of shades and finishes at least for my skin tone. Two larger pans can also be used as blushes and they work nicely.

All but two shades are matte.

First top shade is matte ivory, pigmentation isn't the best but it helps blend the edges.

Second is nude and just a tad darker than my skin tone.

Third shade is shimmery and there isn't much of a base color, more speckled pink shimmer.

Last shade on top is light, pale and cool toned pink.

 

First shade on the bottom is rosy and makes a great blush.

Then there is medium grey, it can be sheered out or packed.

Third is again shimmery but this one has tiny specks and all together have base color and plenty of shine, it looks sateen on skin.

Last is deeper grey, perfect for filling black brows or lining the lid.

The two shimmery shades can be applied alone or layered to add some glow to the overall matte palette. I love that they used different finishes.

First shade is pretty sheer but still very useful. I like to use it as a base, applied over primer, as barely there inner corner highlighter or just making my transitions softer. I find it very useful.

Second shade is among my favorites, on top it looks a bit warmer than in real life and I love that it moves in the neutral territory. I love putting it all over my lid for a simple look, aplied alone or with shimmers on top, I think it always looks polished.

Next is the sparse glittery one. It has cool toned pink particles which turn every matte into a fun look, usually I use less of it, so the particles aren't as concentrated.

Besides it is the cool toned matte pink which adds brightness and if I apply it all over the lid it gives me that mood look and as of now I like a bit brighter lid. Paired with something neutral in the lid it makes my eyes bigger without usiung any other tricks.

Second largest pan is dusty rosy shade and looks beautiful on the cheeks but also on the eyes for a monochromatic look. It makes my blue eyes brighter and they stand out way more.

Medium grey is another special one since it is not too pale or chalky but the formula sits right in the middle and somehow it looks natural. Applied lightly all over the lid to deepen my eyes or just in the outer corners to accentuate, ether way it is very useful.

Second glowy shade is a true gem. On my photo appears a bit warmer than in reality but the glow is the same. It has this exquisite glow and it looks absolutely beautiful alone or layered, especially over the second shadow in this palette.

Last shade is deep grey, perfect for lining the eyes and filling in my black brows. Nothing special but it is useful to have a shade like that.

I really like all of the shades included, usually with palettes there are some shades which I will not reach for much but here I do not see a flaw. I hope they will release another one within this range. I would crave cool toned brown/nude with mauve accent colors (instead of pinks).

Daisy Jelly & Pink Jelly

 Hello,

I wanted these ever since they came out. I am a big fan of this line of tinted lip balms and two new shades made my heart skip a beat.

They are Rom&nd Glasting Melting Balms in Daisy Jelly (grey) and Pink Jelly (pink tube). Packaging is adorable and the balms itself are gorgegous. 

Upon opening them I immediately noticed strong fruity scent, I compared it to my 'regular' ones and here it is more pronounced.

Kitten is adorable and here is one cool toned eye shadow palette from the collection which is also holding my interest but it is still so expensive that I have not buy it, maybe I never will. I will see how the price will fluctuate.

Upon opening them they have floral design through them. So cute and since they are on the sheer side using them does not remove the design, it is not as sharp but it is still clearly visible.

Daisy Jelly comes off as sheer red, it adds a touch of brightness but otherwise it looks pretty natural on me. I had to layer six layers to get this 'opacity'.

Pink Jelly is very cool toned and bright pink shade, it is more pigmented since this swatch was achieved using only four layers.

They have shine but aren't as glossy as the original shades, plus the scent is stronger. They look pretty on the lips but aren't on par with the other ones. This formula is different and if I would try them first I would not fell in love with them.

I know I will use them up but I will not repurchase them, formula just isn't that good. After wearing them all day long my lips were dry and little flakes were accentuated. Cute packaging but the formula is slacking.

Spring Peach & Cherry Blossom lipsticks

 Hello,

I know packaging isn't enough to go into shopping spree but look at these two, they are beautiful.

These pastel beauties are Joocyee Crystal Jelly Mirror Lipsticks in Spring Peach and Cherry Blossom. They were advertised as transfer proof lipsticks and that information got me hooked plush the pretty packaging.

Even the outer packaging is pretty and well thought. Little string goes around the circle and taht holds the box together, so nice and different.

I love the watercolor effect and the tube isn't smooth so it is important to put the lid back on with the golden tooth and Joocyee name together otherwise there will be a rough ridge.

Shades are unexpectedly similar, Spring Peach should be peachier while Cherry Blossom should be more pink, instead they are both in the red territory. 

There is no scent to them but what made me upset is the fact that these print on my cup. Not just the glos but the pigment as well...

They have lovely shine, not super glossy but glossier than regular lipsticks, pigment is buildable.

Spring Peach looks like a red base with neutral nude thrown in the mix, it is not vivid like the next shade.

Cherry Blossom is bright red in the neutral zone. If applied with one or two coats red pigment isn't as intense but there is also a bit less glow.

I like the Spring Peach shade more than Cherry Blossom. Longevity is more than one hour and I like the gloss but I just can't get around how different they looked on photos. I think I will keep only one and pass the other one to my sister, I think she will appreciate the shiny lipstick.
