Peach Soda

 Hello,

when it comes to eye shadows I always prefer the single shadows because palettes would contain some darker shades which I would not use or very rarely. I now use them as liners but every day I do my make up I use so very little of it that progress is minimal. Lately I have discovered some palettes with lighter shades and these shades are much easier for e to use and the palette below is one of those palettes where I can see myself using all shades up pretty evenly.

It is Judydoll Dew-Shine 6 color palette in the color option Peach Soda. It contains three eye shadows, on the bottom are two blushes and one glitter topper. That is if you follow the rules, they can actually be mixed and matched all over the face depending which tone I like and where.

Shades have coral through them and are looking very pale, top three eye shadows have tiny shimmer and the blushes are completely matte, topper has intense glitter which can even create that wet look if packed.

They all swatch beautifully, here they are, one swipe for all and I was surprised at how pigmented they were and how well they all show on my skin.

First three in smaller pans all have this tiny shimmer, it is close to being sateen and I love this finish. I think they add just a bit extra dimension and each looks like one and done shadow for me. I love this finish not only on the eyes but also on the cheeks, if one of the larger blushes would have this finish I would not be mad.

First shade is ivory and brightening, i love it in my inner corners or all over the lid for a bit of a paler look, it does not look stark but pretty natural.

Second shade is also a bit lighter but not as noticeable as the first shade, I use it for days when I don't want too much shadow.

Third shade is warm brown but it it not your typical orange toned, I like it in my outer corners or all over the lid for as lightly deeper look but the shimmers are making it playful and not too dark.

Next are the two blushes one lighter and it looks almost as a matte highlighter. I like to use it as a base because whatever I use on top it looks a bit brighter and clearer. I don't really use the first shade on its own but the second one is just right. It adds brightness but also a bit of light coral for that fresh look. These two blushes are a big success and i did not think I would like them that much. Formula is extra blurring and while I like my skin to have some glow it looks a bit odd when my cheeks are completely matte so I always put some glowy highlighter on top (it is not included in the palette) or I put 'eye shadows' from this palette over it and the little shimmer does the trick :)

I wish they would release these shadows also as singles since this finish is amazing in my opinion.

Last is the glittery topper. I always use my finger to apply and it feels almost wet, it is very pigmented with coral base and plenty of glow, it creates almost a mirror like finish but it can also be dabbed on the lid and I get more 'modest' single glitter look. In the light my eyes twinkle like stars :) I am in love with this topper :)

This whole palette is a total success for me, I love all of the shades and finishes. I now want to collect all five... I know one is vey warm gold/brown shade so that one would probably not be for me but the other three... I already have another one so two more to go.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day 

Chill Out & Dear Rose

 Hello,

this brand, Hince really makes beautiful collections and makes me wanna buy so much from them. When I saw these tinted lip balms I was all over them, for starters I picked two shades to try out the formula and how the shades look like.

They are Hince Mood Enhancer Lip Glows in Chill Out and Dear Rose. I picked one form warm and another one from cool territory.

Each holds 5,5g of product which is quite nice and standard for a lip balm.

Chill Out is red, slightly on the warm side but not orange, I find this shade very similar to my natural lip color, just a tad warmer.

Dear Rose is more pink, a bit more than expected but also super natural.

They have no scent and are a little shiny (like a lip balm not like a gloss), they can be packed and more pigmented and therefore more glossy.

I prefer to wear them with just two or three layers to get that super sheer wash of color and they look very natural on me. Chill Out doesn't change my color by much, it just makes them more even looking while Dear Rose adds a bit of pink and brightness. Still very natural and my lips look like I just put some clear balm over it. They leave stains on my coffee cups but still wear off evenly.

I like wearing these as tinted lip balms, just a few layers to unify the shade and protect them from loss of hydration. a little bit of color remains so I don't love layering them all day long because then they look like lipsticks and I prefer to wear them sheer.

I really like this product, formula and shades and I am interested in getting more from this line.

3D Voluming Tints

 Hello,

this brand Fwee makes so many beautiful lip products. I feel like they specialise in gloss and I am all for it ;)

This line is inspired by fruit, first four shades are supposed to look like clear dew on freshly picked fruit (hence the dew in their names), next four are supposed to be vivid shades of ripened fruit (they all have pop in the name) and last four are richer and deeper to represent fully ripped fruit (there is dip in all of their names but I did not get any shades from this last group, I focused more on lighter first shades).

I went a little crazy with this new to me formula of lip tints. They are Fwee 3D Voluming Tints and in total there are 12 shade and I could not resist and I picked 7 in total, named 01 Sweetie Dew, 02 Vanilla Dew, 03 Withdewout, 04 Melba Dew, 05 Strawberry Pop, 06 Berry Pop and 07 Peach Pop.

Packaging is cute as always and holds 4 ml of product.

Applicators have short handles but they seem normal sized otherwise and application is easy.

Scent is fruity sweet, I find it enjoyable but not long lasting.

Here I swatched them all in order.

First is Sweetie Dew, which is warm peach, leaning coral but it is not bright, very cute and every day type of shade.

Next is Vanilla Dew which is a bit brighter coral shade. It gives life to my lips and I love it.

Third is another light shade, this one is more soft red but not bright, more mauve toned and it is named Withdewout.

Fourth shade surprised me at how orange it is, there is brightness to it, it reminds me of a ripe mandarin and they named it Melba Dew. I think this one is my least favorite because just how orange it is.

Strawberry Pop is pink coral and very enjoyable shade. I really like shades like this one, there is brightness to it without being neon.

Next to it is bright pink named Berry Pop and has this fuchsia tone which I am not a big fan of. I find it too bright and this tone was very popular a while ago, so pretty much every bright pink was similar to this one and I just got tired of it.

Last is Peach Pop which has orange tones to it but it is still in the coral territory. I prefer this one over the Melba Dew.

These shades leave a very light tints, barely there and they do not survive eating, all of this staining was easily removed with a bit of soap. 

I also noticed that all of these shades got a bit deeper on my lips, they apply slightly milky but deepen within first five minutes. On their website description reads that shades stay clear and don't deepen but on me all seven did become darker and more vibrant pretty quickly. For certain shades I don't mind but fourth and sixth shade are not my favorite to begin with and also the deeper shades of these two could not convince me.

I like the formula and feel of them, the poor staining does not bother me.

Flortte Pink Crystal

 Hello,

a little while ago I found these lipsticks (half of collection has black packaging other half is this pale pink) and I was interested since these are supposed to be glossy. I wanted to get a soft pink shade but I think I picked the wrong one...

It is Flortte Sea Pearl lipstick in the shade 01 Pink Crystal (on website it looks cool toned pink with shimmers, second shade looks similar but lighter) but if you check swathes mine isn't pink, I wonder how the shade 02 Veiled Crystal looks like.

It is rather peach toned with multicolored shimmer in it. In the bullet it looks gritty but on the lips it is smooth and I can't feel the particles.

Scent reminds me of a toothpaste, thankfully it is light and after a few minutes on the lips I can't even detect it. 

It has a smooth formula and plenty of shine, this lovely gloss lasts for 1,5 hours which I find very good. There is just a tad of peach tone and if I apply too much from the start it can look milky, a little goes a long way and it lasts very well.

Once the gloss is gone the shimmers remain and if I put a coat of clear balm over it it continues to sparkle which I like a lot, I have not noticed any random shimmers traveling around my face.

I really like the formula and nice shine, I did not expect this color and toothpaste scent is a bit odd but I would still get some more shades. I will look into it but I know I should not be getting more lippies...

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Nude Beige

 Hello,

for today I have blush which in person looks very pale. This one frighten me that it would not show up on me at all...

It is Dasique Soft Blur Cheek blush in the shade Nude Beige. There were a few other shades available but this more nude shade got my attention but on the model it looked darker, probably because she was paler... 

Packaging is a bit different since it is not a perfect circle and to me it looks a bit like an artist palette (to mix colors for paintings). I like little details like that.

Shade is very milky peachy nude, it has no shimmer or sateen finish, it is matte and from blurring description I did not expect anything else.

To make these swatches I used a little lotion so the blush would have something to grip and the formula is beautiful. Applied with a brush it does kick some powder but it shows up on my cheeks :) I was very happy about it and on me this is light peach blush, I find it very beautiful and kind of modest. It does not command attention but lightly highlights my cheeks, blurring effect is also noticeable.

I find this formula beautiful, it is soft but there isn't much powder fallout, shade is just right for barely there make-up cheeks and I love it. The only thing I noticed is that after a long day it disappeared. I don't think I had any other blush which would do the same. I started layering something a smidge deeper on top and it works perfectly as a blurring base.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Peaches

 Hello,

how cute is this mini :) This time around I picked only one shade among tens that they have... it was hard but I knew that I don't want anything too dark or bright.

It is Laka Fruity Glam Tint in the shade Peaches. Mine is a mini and holds 1,9ml of product.

Applicator feels the same size it is just the handle which is extra short. At first it is odd but after using it I don't even notice how small it is.

It still has that tart and sweet grape scent which I love so much.

Top swatch is freshly applied and bottom is stain.

Shade could be build up to get very bright peach tone but I prefer to wear it in a thinner coat but it does look a bit different on me because of my naturally red lips it makes this shade look a bit deeper. I could try it out with a pale base to achieve this shade but then I don't know if the longevity would be there...

Shine lasts for over one hour and then it starts fading and strong and even stain remains. It is removed when I am eating but just drinking a cup of tea did nothing to it.

I love the shade of this one, I already have Caffeine Rose which I did not pick myself and I honestly prefer this one. Formula is glossy and the stain lasts for hours. I love this formula and will probably get more shades.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Waikiki and Ibiza holidays

 Hello,

I have a soft spot for lip balms/glosses in tubes. I think they are easy to apply while on the go and if they are sheer even better. I already tried this formula and I like how they look and feel on the lips. 

They are Unleashina Sunset Dazzle Gloss Balms in Waikiki and Ibiza. First one is new to me and Ibiza shade is repeat (it was gift with purchase).

They have a donut applicator which is surprisingly precise and sweet apple scent with zero shimmers.

Waikiki is slightly yellow and that scared me at first but I apply it in a thin coat so it is not visible, it just looks like a clear gloss with nourishing properties.

Ibiza was randomly sent and since I already have a tube I am giving mine to my sister. I made this swatch with my first tube (also the tube is mine and I think you can see the indentation compared to the full yellow tube). Ibiza is bright coral and a bit tricky to apply, there is definitely need for a mirror but other than that it is great.

Shine lasts for one hour and then lips are hydrated and nourished, tinted one leaves a light shade behind but it is not a stain. Texture is very comfortable and non sticky, I wanted to get some nude/moody shades but weren't available, I will definitely check those out and maybe eventually get some.
