Fleur L'eau tint

 Hello,

I have a lot of Bbia lippies. I like what I have already tried out so when I see something new I am more bound to get it and try it out. This floral collection definitely put a spell on me.

This one has even different packaging from the rest, it is textured and it opens from the side. The presentation is really beautiful. This Bbia L'eau tint in the shade Fleur L'eau. Shade is described as Rosy Pink.

On the bottle there is actual cloth with the collection and shade name. So far I have only one shade. This bottle holds 4,5 ml of product.

I am already used to this applicator from Bbia and it is nice for evenly dispersing the product. This line has a definite red apple scent. So refreshing and delicious.

Shade is unexpectantly bright and red toned. Nothing pink or rosy as described. It does have glow but it settles into less shiny tint. Shade is also a bit buildable so I can make it a bit more natural looking but still ends up bright.

I like the packaging and floral branding but it does not have glossy finish as expected and shine doesn't last. I also feel like I did not pick the right shade for me. Stain is pretty strong and I love the apple scent.

I don't love the shade on me and there is no longlasting glow, this is my first Bbia tint that I don't love. It is a personal preference, I just prefer their regular line and I am looking at some more shades from the standard range right now to purchase some more.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Eyes Eyes Baby

l Hello,

I am back with something super sparkly. I found this one online and my curiosity got the best of me. 

This one is Artdeco Eyes Eyes Baby eyeshadow palette in collaboration with xLaeta.

Top really is glittery and textured, so far none of the glitter particles fell off, so I would say that they glued them down really well.

It comes in a box which contains the names of each shade, after I opened it, there is also plastic clear sheet with the names but since this wasn't practical to keep I threw it away and now I am referencing names from taken photos.

First two shadows from each lines are matte, others are shimmery shades.

Some of these shades have crazy almost mirror like shine when I apply them with a finger, so intense and very beautiful. Not a subtle palette :)

When I dip my finger in shimmery/glittery shades it feels like they are cream products but they are not. Only the two matte shades feel 'normal' to the touch. I made these swatches on dry skin with two layers (only because the pigment started to fade coming towards the bottom of the swatch and just to make them more even I used two layers). They are very pigmented shades.

First shade, named Rain of Purple is deep and vivid, I envisioned to use it as a liner (I always go for a dark grey, sometimes for a brown liner but this time I decided to make it bold). It looks great against my blue/grey eyes.

Next shade is Matilda. Bold, bright and very yellow gold. Personally I don't like it and I knew I will not use it even before purchasing, it just isn't my cup of tea.

Next two shades are my favorite form the palette. Full House is super glowy, smokey beige shade which sparkles like crazy. I love to put it all over my lid or just in the outer corner.

Last in the line is named 1996 and an eye catcher, simply because it has this random mix seen in the pan. There is ivory, light pink and brown veining, altogether give off white sparkly effect. I love it for my inner corners or just all over the lid for that extra sparkle.

(First swatch is 1996). Second row starts with another matte, they call it Clueless Charm. This one is darker brown and I wish it would be a bit more buildable. I don't wear dark make-up on my eyes and this one is pretty dark but I tried it as a liner. For that brown definition.

Next to it is a glittery shade Friends, which in the pan looks bronzey and orange, on my skin comes off pretty warm so again this one I didn't love wearing and I know I will not be reaching for.

Next is pale pink shade Gamegirl which gave my heart a little flutter because I envisioned full on fairy make-up but it ends up leaning also a bit warm on me :( not that 'bad' but also not as pink as I would like.

Last is a sparkly green, named Kevin. It is cool toned and something about this green makes me super happy, again green is not a shade I would wear on my eyes but I tried it as a glowy liner and it looked really pretty.

For me this is a super colorful palette and even though I will not be using second Matilda and sixth Friends shade I can see myself grabbing other shades until we come to the formula. I used my regular primer first which keeps my eyeshadows put but not with these. After a few hours my eye make-up would crease. Even the liner shades don't stay (the 'beauty' of having hooded eyes).

That is the reason that now I am contemplating if I should keep them or not. Creasing defeats the purpose of wearing eye shadow for me but what if I find another primer which will make them stay? Then it would be a shame to give them away. I am really conflicted with this palette. Shades are gorgeous, the shine is crazy beautiful, only if they would stay put.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day.

Vanilla Sprinkles, Rose Sparkles and Mocha Magic

 Hello,

after buying one, then first set of trios I wanted to get the shimmery trio as well. I hoped that this set will not be as minty as the previous ones but I was wrong.

This Nudestix set includes three Hydrating Peptide lip butters in Vanilla Sparkles, Rose Sparkles and Mocha Magic. all of them are super shimmery and I feel ready for this Summer.

These balms come in a squeezy tubes with a normal plastic tip, it makes it easy to apply and it is comfortable to use. They all have minty scent and cool tingling effect on the lips (the previous set each balm had different scent, these all smell the same).

First, Vanilla Sprinkles has clear base with lavender, silver and a few golden sparkles thrown in the mix. The look on the lips is fully sparkly and cool toned sparkles create a soft lilac sheen.

Rose Sparkles is next, with a soft rosy base and plenty of golden sparkles. It gives some base color and the golden sheen turns it very warm toned.

Last but not least is Mocha Magic. I was a bit scared of it since I am pale and this one looks pretty dark. It is the most pigmented of them all and this one for me is not safe to use without the mirror. I have to be careful and use very little to not be too dark on me. I imagine darker skinned beauty wearing this one and rocking the world while wearing it.

These are great for the hot Summer weather since they feel so very cooling on the lips, shimmer sparkles exceptional on the sun and they are joy to look at.

I like them but can sometimes be too cooling. I don't love minty scents at the moment (when I was younger I love this effect and minty balms and glosses were all I wore) but the shades, especially the first two are my favorite so I can see myself wearing them but not as sole balms because the effect is a bit too much for me at the moment (I will apply them once or twice a day and then wear something mint free).

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Blooming Days and Valley Lily

 Hello,

look at these pretty blushes, somehow they remind me of juicy strawberries, anyone else? Probably the rose buds on top reminiscent of the fruit in the basket...

They are FlowerKnows Midsummer Fairytales Velvet embossed blushes in Blooming Days and Valley Lily. I guess I am in my peach/coral and nude cheek era and I thought that these two would be the best for me right now.

The packaging is again over the top with Fairies and roses (I still think the are strawberries ;).

Green one holds the nudy blush and the packaging is bulky (as all FlowerKnows items are) and hold 5g of product each.

Blooming Days is pastel coral and Valley Lily looks nude in the pan. They both swatch brighter and more vivid on my skin.

There is also no shimmer, so matte and blurring effect is applied.

They are different shades but on me, since I apply them lightly not so much. Both bring brightness to my face but not too much difference is visible.

I like the packaging even though it is bulky, I also like the shades but I wish they would have sateen finish. I am always up for some glow :)

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Plop

 Hello,

for today I have picked another lip tint. AT the time this was the only shade available and I went with it not realising how bright the shade is.

It is Too cool for school Water Floating Pleur tint in the shade Plop (this name is too funny, I even started using this word when I put my glass down a little too hard ;).

This shade is really bright and pink/red toned. It looks like a vivid watermelon but can be a bit sheered out, maintaining the brightness. 

I love the glossy effect of this tint. The shine is mirror like and lasts for around one and a half hour on my lips but if I drink it wipes the gloss, eating removes most of the color as well.

There is no scent or taste with these, which is refreshing and different from others. I like a good scent but sometimes I get sick of the same old scent (that happens especially when I am trying to pan and finish a certain product).

Stain is sheer and not much color remains.

I absolutely love the shine on my Plop but wish that the shade would be more toned down. I did looked at what other shades are available at the moment and I think I found one that is paler and would suit me, fingers crossed that it will not sold out. While looking at what Too cool for school offers I might find some other products as well...

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Golden Rose and Greige Pupa shadows

 Hello,

I finally got some of these liquid eye shadows. I have been eyeing them for a while and I really hopped that they will be creaseless. I am also eyeing one matte shade.

These are Pupa Milano Vamp Liquid Eyeshadows both in sparkle variations (they also have matte options) in 002 Golden Rose and 010 Greige. Shade names are pretty self explanatory. 

Wand is kind of stubby and squared off. This wand belongs to Greige and here it shows the true color, it is a bit more cool toned than on my swatches.

I purchased them because I wanted them ever since release and these two are getting discontinued, so I figured that this was my last chance. If I will liked them I figure I can always get that coveted matte version.

These can be worn just like light shimmers or 'full on' like on my swatches so the base colors show up. I prefer to wear them shimmery and not like these swatches. Wearing them full on they crease on me but shimmer particles cover that up so it is not super visible. 

It is my personal choice, I just prefer shimmer all over but in a subtle way :)

Rose Gold has pink base with golden sparkles so worn sheer is just golden shimmer that is visible with a tiny bit of silver ones. Greige has mostly silver shimmers a bit of golden sparkles thrown in the mix. Rose Gold also has slightly bigger shimmers opposed to Greige.

I am still fascinated by them but they are not super longlasting on my (oily lids). Now I am contemplating getting the matte one, these shimmery ones at least camouflage creasing with shimmers while full on mattes can't.

I like them but are not my absolute favorites. I don't apply them straight to the lid but first on the back of my hand and then I am 'picking' the pigment with the brush so I have to wash my hand afterward as well and there has to be a bit of rubbing to get it off. When compared to powder, I just pick them with the brush and apply. I feel like these are a bit messier for me but if they would last all day I wouldn't mind.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

NOTD

 Hello,

I am still painting my nails but my color obsession toned down. Now I usually just wear something clear or milky. Light, barely there nails are my current mood and I don't feel the itch to change that anytime soon.

Here it is Catrice more than nude nail polish in the shade Roses are Rosy. I purchased it online and it arrived without the plastic square lid that usually comes on top. I don't know what happened but I don't care. The nail polish came undamaged and that lid is just top, it has no function.

I used two coats and it gave me this milky pale off white look, in the bottle there is slight pink tone but on my nails is more cream than anything else.

It gives me polished look without trying too hard. I sometimes add clear top coat, here there is none and it is glossy and sort of clean looking.

Mine bottle is half empty but fortunately this type of shades are always popular and always in stock so when mine runs out I can get some more.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day
