Colorgram lip tints

 Hello,

I couldn't get over just how cute these are. The mixed colors and stacked candy on top as rings... the shades and the juicy lip stains... I wanted them all.

At first I thought that I purchased from two different lines but it is actually three.

They are all colorful Colorgram lippies, first is Fruity Glass Tint Geek Nude in Sulky Lychee, other two are Fruity Glass Tints in Shy Guava and Soda Cool Peach and last two are Fruity Glass Milk Tints in  Proud Grape and Berry Amazing.

I love the colorful packaging even though the milk line is a little more subdued with light colors.

Scent is fruity but it does not last, unfortunately.

First three stains are much stronger than the ones from the milk line which are barely visible. I like how even the stains are, even on my super weird lips.

First is Sulky Lychee and as a stain it has red tint and is super similar to the second Shy Guava tint. In fresh form are different but when they dry are super similar.

Third is Soda Cool Peach and is also very strong but more pink, fuchsia bright.

Last two are Proud Grape and Berry Amazing, barely visible and perform more like a lip gloss.

Sulky Lychee is peach toned but with time it gets deeper and darker, stain is mid toned red.

Second is Shy Guava and it is red, in fresh and stain format.

Pink is Soda Cool Peach, very bright and also in the stain format it remains bright and pink.

Second to last is Proud Grape and mine is nude, not grape like, shade is pretty light and almost looks clear on me.

Lastly there is Berry Amazing which is light pink toned one, also pretty sheer.

First three leave strong stains but they are bright and that is not my cup of tea at the moment, last two shades are more up my taste and I love wearing them even though they stain lightly.

They all have pretty nice gloss but it does not last for a full hour, there is some shine left after that so they are not matte. 

My favorite are from the milk line and I wear them as a lip gloss. Now I am interested in this particular line and wear them as fruity lip glosses :)

Dry Buckwheat Flower

 Hello,

this little palette intrigued me for months, I live for cool toned neutrals and I hoped that this one will be the next best thing after sliced bread...

It is Rom&nd Better Than Eyes eye shadow quad in Dry Buckwheat Flower. In the description it said that it is cool toned and that was the reason I purchased it. On some swatches it looks cool and on some brown and sparkly shade looked warm toned... I decided to take a risk.

After seeing it in person I still think it leans warm, first shade is of a very surprising tone rest of them are kind of expected.

First is ivory but cool toned shade, like if they added a drop of grey in it. very unusual, on my arm it is barely visible but on my eyes it is slightly deeper and cooler than my skin tone and I love putting it all over the lid as a light base and then just let it be or I can layer something else on top. This one is my favorite.

Second is medium brown with undertone leaning warm, not particularly orange but still warm. It is nice for deepening outer corners but I wish they would replace it with something true cool toned.

Third shade is the only shimmery and this one to leans warm, it is golden but not yellow. I like it full on like on the swatch but I love it when I just dab it on the lid and it looks like scattered glitter, very nice accent color.

Last is deeper brown with some warmth in it as well, for me this one is only liner but it is nice because it is dark enough to line and accentuate but still warm enough to differentiate from my usual black/grey.

This palette is a nice all rounder for me, first shade is my favorite followed closely with the third shimmery shade. As a whole all shades work well together, all of these swatches were made with only one swipe so that speaks of pigment and longevity is insane. Even when I wore them in the extreme heart they did not crease.

This little palette set the bar really high, pigmentation and longevity wise. I love reaching for it and I enjoy using it.

Sweet Mirabelle Plum & Juicy Watermelon

 Hello,

I am back with some sweet Summer lip glosses. I had these two for a while now and on top of the white tube it says taht it expires in April 2026, ups :)

They are Ziaja lip glosses in Sweet Mirabelle Plum and Juicy Watermelon. When I tried the first two I wanted to try the remaining two as well.

Again one has a white packaging and the other one is see through.

They both have the same tiny shimmer which looks frosty on the lips just like the first two tubes. Sweet Mirabelle Plum has slight yellow tone on top of white and Juicy Watermelon is pink with white reflection.

First swatch makes it look like a little monkey, no? ;) 

Sweet Mirabelle Plum looks similar to the first two but Juicy Watermelon looks different but with the same sheen. 

With these two I can really differentiate the scents and since I am familiar with Plum and Watermelon scents I can really pick them out.

I really like this line of glosses, I like the fresh juicy scents, frosty glimmer and non sticky formula. Once on the lips they turn thin and almost like oil (thin) but still very glossy, my lips are nourished after wearing them all day. 

I think these two are my favorite from all four and I would gladly repurchase them.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Shell blushes

 Hello,

I have been using these beauties for a while now and outer packaging is cute but blushes inside are stunning. I think these two look very different in the pan opposed swatched. 

They are FlowerKnows Shell's Jewel Silk Satin blushes (in my head this is still the Mermaid dream collection :) Beach Starfish and Strawberry Bubble.

Packaging is massive but super detailed as well. I love that inside there is a mirror for easy application.

Beach Starfish is nude with peachy tone and Strawberry Bubble looks bright. It reminds me of juicy Watermelon and this shade scared me a lot. I hoped that it would apply sheer otherwise this blush would not be useful to me.

Embossing is again beautiful and my heart hurts when I have to use them but that is not why I purchased them (yes, it did helped ;) but nude blush was something I was looking for and pink one looked pretty on other peoples cheeks.

Swatches are sheer but buildable and there is also evident tiny silver shimmer in both blushes. Light pigment makes them easy to wear and I love the build in highlighters.

These two blushes are massive hits for me, I am able to use a little amount and get a soft flush of color with sheen.

I like my FlowerKnows blushes but these two are the only two with sateen finish, the rest are matte and finish on these Shell's Jewel blushes is my favorite. Now I am thinking of getting more from this line. I hear the new Unicorn blushes are also glowy... I am interested.

Dawn Mauve and Peachy Milk

 Hello,

these lippies were everywhere for a while and I could not stop thinking about them, not just the packaging but description and how transparent they looked on the lips. They seem different than any other lip tints.

I picked Dawn Mauve and Peachy Milk from Heart Percent Dote on Mood One Way Glowy Tints. They have so many shades that I liked but for trying the formula out I picked 'only' two.

Rings are removable and an easy indicator of the shade, they are not exact but very good tell of the shade inside to differentiate. They also provide extra grip to open and hold them easier, after using them I transfer one ring on the lid and it is more comfortable to use.

Applicators are typical and there is a slight fruity scent but I can not connect it to any known fruit. Dawn Mauve is cool toned mauve but on my skin and lips it turns much warmer while peachy Milk looks brighter and on me it sheers out and is not as deep as it looks on the applicator.

Dawn Mauve looks like a squished plum. Mauve with brown tones and Peachy Milk is the opposite. Pale peach shade with vibrancy.

Both shades are clear, they give some pigment but mostly a lot of shine. Even though they are sheer they are noticeable on my lips. It almost looks like I applied some tint and then clear gloss on top, shine is unbelievable, some of the glossiest tints and this crazy shine last for over one hour. Both shades are distinctive on my lips and I like to apply two coats, to make sure the shades are noticeable but also because with just one layer shine is not that impressive but with two coats I am golden. 

Staining is even but not super intense, just how I like it.

Dawn Mauve is deep and when I wear it I like to skip eye shadow all together, just mascara and highlighter. After the shine fades I can apply clear lip balm and the tint is not disrupted. I love this shade but just because it is deeper than what I normally wear I know it will not be my everyday shade.

Peachy Milk is very versatile, soft peachy tone can be paired with neutral or bolder eye look, I feel when I put two coats a bit of vibrancy from peach tones comes out are is looking very fresh Spring type of color. This one I have been wearing more than the first shade and staining is gentle but can be prolonged with lip balm after the shine fades.

I think I picked lovely shades (tones and translucent look are very unique among tints), shine is right up my alley and longevity is amazing (shine lasts more than one hour and even stained lips surpasses a lot of other tints). Not to mention the colorful rings for easy recognition among shades and easy opening.

No joke, these two tints skyrocketed to the top of my favorites and right now I am looking at some other shades, pinks and nudes look lovely as well...

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Hazel Fawn

 Hello,

I have another FlowerKnows palette, first one did not impress me. Pigment was there but shades did not impress me hopefully this one will be better suited for me.

This beauty is FlowerKnows Midsummer Fairytales eye palette in Hazel Fawn. It looked neutral and I pretty much always go for the neutral tones. It looked like a safe bet.

Details are again 3D and very beautiful, full of bows and fairies. I also love the magnetic closure.

When opened the neutral shades reveal. All but the middle shades are matte, middle is sparkly one. What surprised me is the similarity of the two brown tones. I hoped for one shade being lighter or at least with a cooler undertone.

I start at the top with the ivory one, on my swatch it is barely visible but applied with the brush it is pigmented and pretty obvious, I love to use it as a matte highlighter.

To the right is deeper and warm toned brown, it leans pretty orange.

Bottom one is soft black. Very dark and pigmented, lovely for a liner or filling in my brows (they are naturally black).

Last brown is also very warm but a bit lighter and slightly more orange toned. 

Last two swatches are from the shimmery middle shade. I like that it isn't warm or gold but more taupe, if applied heavy there is slight base color but I like it sheer like it is on the last swatch more dab dab so the shimmer is the vocal point of my look.

I find this palette pretty basic, matte inner corner highlighter, brown for all over the lid, black for lining and brow filler. I am glad that they included the sparkly shade since this one transforms all of my looks and don't make it looking that basic.
I like the palette but it isn't that impressive. Pigment and ability to blend are there but shades are a bit basic and also not up to my taste (I prefer cool tones).

I think I should really stop buying FlowerKnows palettes unless they release one cool toned palette with taupe shades.

lip essence

 Hello,

this little fella is gift with purchase and I can't find it on their site for purchase. I don't think they made a whole item just to be gift with purchase, the whole point is to fall in love with it and then buy it and maybe get it in multiply shades...

It is JudyDoll lip essence in 6 ml tube. As mentioned above I can not find a product with this name on their page to see any more information or to see if there are more shades available.

It is clear and pretty liquid product, it has no scent and glides on my lips with ease. I have to be careful not to apply too much because it can drip down my chin.

It feels thin and not sticky, it reminds me of a thin lip oil and it does not last long on the lips so reapplying is a must. There is decent amount of product included but I think I will get through it pretty fast.

I like the product since it is glossy and shiny :)

It moisturises my lips and keeps them soft but I don't like how fast it disappears from my lips. I think if I would ever find it online I would still not buy it again but if they would make the formula a bit thicker I would like it more.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day
