Daily glow tint

 Hello,

I am trying a bunch of new lippies and lip tints are in majority, especially shiny ones.

It is Bbia glow tint in the shade Daily. I thought that this shade was appropriate to try out, not too pink, not  too nude and not bright. Perfect neutral, daily shade, just as the name implies.

This shade is a lovely mix of pink and peach, not as nude as I thought but I like it. First swatch is fresh and second was made about 20 min prior. I can see this shade turning a bit deeper on me.

It applies as a tinted lip gloss but unfortunately the shine fades about 20-30 minutes later. I really hopped this glow tint in the name was standing for the high shine for at least one hour but I was disappointed.

Here the second swatch is the dry down, it doesn't leave strong stain and because of that I like it. It looks very natural and even on the lips because of its sheerness. 

The scent is very pleasant, fruity and sweet. 

I know that stains and dry lips don't mix but I tried it anyway since it leaves subtle stain and what surprised me was the high moisture level. Hydration on my lips went up after about five minutes after applying it, dry patches were smooth and crack free. I love that so I can use it instead of high duty lip balm.

Yes, I am not loving the shine fading so quickly but the shade is nice, it leaves even and light stain, smells great and it is hydrating, because of that i really like it.

Strawberry Sorbet

Hello,

this is my second Ole balm and I am slowly getting obsessed.

It is Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment in Strawberry Sorbet.

 I already have the Strawberry Sorbet Glimmer and the base color looks very similar, Glimmer has maybe a bit more orange in the peachy base and lots of golden shimmers while this one is pure peach toned and without any sparkle.

I like the soft peach shade and the fact that there is no shimmers, especially golden ones. I think this variant looks better on me and I prefer it over the Glimmer.

The sweet candy like Strawberry scent is the same and I really like it.

The moisturising properties are still there and this keeps my lips soft and chap free all day long.

I like the scent, this color suits me and it is hydrating. I really love using it and I have my eye on some new ones as well but I know that I really should not be buying more since I have a full drawl of lip products.

Empties

 Hello,

this is the second part of my empties for the month of January.

First is a mini of Banilla co. clean it zero cica relief calming melting balm in 7 ml packaging. It was a gift with purchase and I am glad to try it out since I already liked their original. This one had somewhat sweet scent and was very creamy and dare to say soft to the touch. It removed my make-up well and water washed it out really nicely. I liked it a lot and would get this option again.

Next I used up my mini Lanege lip sleeping mask in Berry with only 3g but it still took me weeks to go through it. I love the sweet berry scent, shade was none existing and it gave me a lot of shine. I wish it would be a bit more longlasting but the moisturising properties were there and I think it is worth it.

Lastly there is Catrice Kiss & Glow lip balm in Lust for Love. It looked peachy with golden and green shimmers. The glimmer was intense so I mostly used it at night but I started to notice after application my lips went numb and it was the weirdest feeling so I stopped using it. There is still around two thirds of a product left but I just can't bring myself to use it because I think I am allergic to something. I have never got my lips numb after using a lip product.

Empties

 Hello,

it is the end of the first moth and I managed to use quite a lot of products.

First is Korres Peach Blossom body lotion. I liked thin texture but the scent wasn't what I was expecting. Sweet and slightly fruity but it did not reminded me of Pears or Blossoms, still nice but a little underwhelming just like the previous scents that I have tried from Korres.

Next bottle took me a while to finish up and I am glad because it was expensive. It is Byredo Gypsy Water hair perfume. It reminded me of a fancy spa, refreshing and still warm scent. I loved putting it in my hair and going to bed to relax and sleep. I would get it again but it is pricey and it does not last long. Maybe I will get a perfume version which is probably stronger.

In the tall bottle is Ziaja Cucumber toner and I mostly used it in my spray bottle and spray it over my fresh make-up to hydrate it. I liked it for that but it was nothing too special. 

Lastly there are two Biobaza deodorants, first is Winter Magic creamy deodorant with candy cane scent and second is Silky Comfort with Shea butter and Jojoba. I liked the scents but formula did not work for me. I was still sweating because these aren't antiperspirants and I am okay with it but my armpits stank. I have never had deodorants or antiperspirants that would made it worst, honestly I would rather be without than wearing these.

Bottle with pipette is my daily serum with Niacinamide from Revox. It was slightly sticky but after it absorbed it was not detectable and I was able to layer a face cream over it. I really liked it and will buy it again.

White tube is another staple of mine and it is Bioderma sensibio anti redness cream. I had this years ago and I remember this lotion being very greasy so I guess they changed it and made it easier to absorb. I like this new version better and I think I have another tube somewhere already.

Cute cat is Skin79 soothing BB cream. It was not the best for when my skin was dry and flaky because it accentuates that but otherwise I liked it a lot. The shade was a nice match and I liked to use it under my foundation. I would get it again.

Banilla co. Miss Flower & Mr. Honey propolis rejuvenating essence toner was a gift with purchase and the first thing when I opened it is the lovely scent. Very floral honey like and I noticed that it gave my skin a hydration boost, when I use up some other toners and essences I will get this one again.

Golden bottle is Alexandre J.  The Majestic Amber perfume, ambery and sweet scent, at first quite sharp. Not my favorite but nice for longevity. I was glad that I used it up but probably I will not be getting it again.

Last is Avon revitacool base coat. This one is yellow toned and unfortunately it looks like that also on my nails and yellow tone is what I try to avoid and not to add on, so I decided to throw it away since I would rather use something clear or pink toned.

Lively Pink and Barely

 Hello,

my obsession with glossy lips is still in full force and I am trying a lot of lip stylo typed lippies to get that perfect glossy and long lasting lip.

Here I have Heart Percent dote on mood dewy melting lipstick in Lively Pink and Braye melting lipsweet in Barely.

Lively Pink to me looks a bit more like a soft coral shade opposed to the pink in the name and Barely look apricot like with tiny shimmers. It comes off completely sheer but the shimmers add to the gloss.

First swatch is Lively Pink and on the lips this has a little plasticky scent which fades away quickly but it still took me by surprise while Barely has some mint in it and as I experience more Asian lip products this is quite common. It is a little cooling and tingling which is not my favorite but it does go away quickly. 

I like the first shade but I definitely have to be next to a mirror to apply it while Barely can be applied on the go. Maybe because it is clear I use more of it and looks glossier and stays like that for a solid hour while Lively Pink is not as mirror like and fades faster.

Under the line I can say that I like them but I don't love them. Lively Pink has weird scent while Barely is cooling and tingling. I like the color of the Lively Pink but it is a bit too soft to be applied without the mirror so here the Barely with no tint wins and the longevity is better. I know I will be wearing them and using them up but probably I will not be buying them again.

Caffeine Rose

 Hello,

as of lately I have been big on lip tints who keep their gloss. I wanted to try this brand and when they had this promotion to get one shade for free I took it.

It is Laka Fruity glam tint in Caffeine Rose. I knew it would be deep brown but I thought that somehow I could make it work (I was not able to choose shades).

It starts very liquid and it is easy to apply. I prefer to start with little product and build the color up.

The scent is grape soda and I absolutely love it.

This shade is deep and warm brown. I have nothing like it in my collection and I was scared to use it. I like to apply very little amount because brown lip isn't what I am used to it. I like that it is glossy even with a thin application. My lips are naturally red so this actually looks more reddish on me but still with a noticeable brown hue.

It leaves pretty strong stain and it is fun to create gradient lips with it but stain is easily removed after eating.

If I am being honest the shade still scares me but the scent, glossiness and longevity of shine is all top tier for me. I think I will get some other shades from this collection which will fit my style better.

Waterism glow melting balms

 Hello,

I am back with more TirTir products and again I just couldn't pick one so I spread out and tried to get different tones and at the end I narrowed it down to three.

They are TirTir Waterism glow melting balms in Mauve Rose, Merry Coral and Salmon Syrup. Packaging is the same as with the lip gloss and while it is a bit odd that the squares don't perfectly add on top of each other I find that to be very charming about their packaging.

They have no scent and leave a little color and some shine behind.

Mauve Rose is brown toned with shimmers, Merry Coral is a bright coral shade and Salmon Syrup in light apricot shade. Last two options are both shimmer free.

They are very soft and shiny but I wish the shine would last for longer. Moisturising properties could be better (I find their tints to be more hydrating).

I like to wear them on their own but also as lip tint toppers. While I was buying them I did not think about it but now that I am swatching them I see how similar they are to the three lip tints that I picked.

So I started wearing tints and then I take their counterpart in lip balm with me to top it off through the day. Actually I think TirTir made that intentional (I have Merry Coral shade in lip balm and tint version) so you can get the same shade within both of their ranges and it is very easy to find since they have the same name. I actually really like that and I can see myself picking Salmon Syrup in the tint version as well.
