Warm-Gorithm

 Hello,

my obsession with Peripera tints continues, I feel like I still have not found the best but on the other hand I liked all of them that I got :)


This time around it is Peripera Ink Mood Glowy Tint in Warm-Gorithm. It is some kind of special edition since it has a cute bow attached to it.


Applicator is pretty long and elongated and size is standard 4 ml.


Somehow I expected this shade to be more nude not bright coral, but it is still a lovely shade. It has brightness to it but with one coat it still looks natural and not too much.
I love the glow Peripera tints have which lasts for up to one hour and stain is even all over my lips.


I find this shade to be super pretty on me but it does deepen a bit on my pigmented lips, and coral turns more into dried rose kind of shade.


I really like Peripera Ink Mood Glowy tints, so far I have not find a dud but now they have a new, revamped line which is supposed to be even glossier... I am intrigued since this line is already amazing.

Honey Honey & Twinkle Glitter

 Hello,

I have two limited edition eyeshadows, again from Etude (previously I had two lip balms/glosses in tubes). They caught my eyes, especially the price and when I dig deeper shades looked like something different and I decided to try them out.


They are Etude What's in my eye, eye shadows in shades Honey Honey and Twinkle Glitter.


They look very simple while in the pan, one white and one pink but that is only a trick, on skin they surprised me since they look like something completely different.


It depends from the light how sparkly they look, in no direct sunlight the base color of Honey Honey is seen as sheer white (I love doing sparkly mod look with it), it is not overpowering but just a touch of white base.
Twinkle Glitter has rosy pink base but it somewhat blends into my skin tone and it is not really visible on my skin as pink. 
White one has noticeable but light base while the pink one is almost just sparkles, that is the difference between them in the shadows.


When light hits them sparkles comes to life. Hone Honey has white and lavender/pink sparkles which altogether create cool toned look.
Twinkle Glitter has more pink sparkles and it looks warmer, at least compared to the first shade.


My photos don't give them enough credit, I just wasn't able to capture their sparkle, from some angles they looked almost metallic but on sun they looked sparkly. I find Honey Honey shade a bit more sparkly than the pink variation.


On the photo above there is visible slight shine. White Honey Honey version is cool toned and pink Twinkle Glitter leans peachy pink with less base color.


I tried to snap one in the sun but I failed. In real life Honey Honey shined like crazy, full of cool violet sparkles catching the light. Twinkle Glitter has less particles but the base becomes more visible in the sun, it has its own glow.


I find them beautiful one and done shadows for my sparkly days. I wear them to my office job and I don't think they are too much since inside they look more modest but when I wrap it up at work and I am free to roam outside sparkles come to life and they transform to a more fun look.
I absolutely love them and will wear them a lot.

Pinkmelon Glow

 Hello,

my obsession with stick lip balm/gloss hybrids continues. I am on a search to find the glossiest and the most longlasting one that there is.


This one is Self Beauty Veganize Collagen Lip Glass Balm in the shade Pinkmelon Glow. I like the soft pink packaging and the heart character which looks like it works at the call center is so funny to me :)


It makes me smile whenever I see the little heart.


The name suggest that the shade is pink but it looks orange and it is packed with colorfull flakes, the texture looks very jelly like. This much product sticking out is way too much. I figure it out the first time I have tried it that this one is the softest. The slightest touch melts it and if I get too much out I get it all over my lip line. I would use half less, just a tiny bit sticking over the plastic and it covers my entire lips.


Sparkles are irregular sized and quite large, to me they look more like flakes, consisting of mostly gold and pink but there are some blue and cool violet thrown in the mix to make it more interesting and different.
Base color is not visible but the sparkles are so intense and packed that there is no need for color.


I like the super soft texture but I will not be bringing it around in this heat. Shade is non existing but there is plenty of sparkles to make for it and shine. I dare to say that this one is the glossiest that I have to tried. 
There is no scent and while I love a good scented product at the end it is better if it is non scented since I might not like the scent or got sick of it, but if there is no scent to begin with I will like it as long as the formula is right.
This one makes me want to get some other tinted shades as well.

Swirl it, don't shake it

 Hello,

in February I have reviewed mauve shade named Don't Slurp So Loud and I really liked it. I wanted to get backup of that lovely shade plus I wanted to try the soft pink one shown below...

They are Catrice Marble-licious liquid lip balms in Swirl it, don't shake it shade. This line is discontinued but online store offered this shade as gift with purchase so I made two purchases so I would get two gifts :)


The marble-swirl design is there and it is beautiful but it does not last for too long. I am super glad that I was able to get this shade but the mauve one was sold out and I will not be able to get it.


On the applicator it looks mid toned pink and super juicy. Scent is again wannabe caramel but it is light and almost like they are trying to cover something up. Not bad but also not great.


Shade is very pale and on my skin milky pink, on my slightly red lips it settles into lip lines and it looks odd but after a minute or two it is fine, almost as if the color adapted, sinked in and it looks more natural. After the gloss fades the slight pink tint is still visible and if I reapply next coat blends in seamlessly.
I like this shade just as much as the mauve and I am glad that I got this one but I am not sure if I should keep the backup, I know my sister also has a soft spot for pale pink.

Healthy tint

 Hello,

I came across this tint and shades are inspired by cool women. I though that the concept was interesting and when I looked into I found one of the lighter shades. Healthy looked lovely and they matched it to a positive woman, on swatches it looked more pink but I am not mad that the shade turned out different on me.


Packaging of this Braye Thin Glow Tint in the shade Healthy is pen like (there is a hook on top at the lid to carry it with stack of papers) and it twists to open, thankfully I did not break it apart.


Applicator is precise but carries too much product for me, I like to apply little and build it up. Formula is also thin, just like the name suggests and a little goes a long way.


Shade is beautiful. Not too dull and not too vivid coral, just right to brighten but not to stand out too much.
It stains super fast and does not move even after a few washes. Stain color is a bit deeper than the initial 'wet' swatch.


After a minute this tint gets shinier and more juicy. I really like the formula but I wish the stain wouldn't darker. It is not that much of a difference but since I absolutely love the color of it when applied I wish that it would just stay like that.


I like the thin and manageable texture, shade is gorgeous and shine is lovely. Gloss lasts for almost one hour which is good but not the best. Stain is even and longlasting. I like this formula and I will check other shades as well to see if there is something else up my taste.
Own (dried rose) and Maudlin (cinnamon beige) are two shades that now got my interest, I know I should not get them but maybe in the future after I go through some of my lippies I would get them.

Essence Drop of Sunshine Bronzing Drops

 Hello,

Summer is here and I decided to purchase this item to give me some glow and a bit of a tan look. I rarely stay at the Sun, if possible I avoid it as much as I can so all year round I am at the same shade. I thought that this shade would make a slight change and make my make-up a bit different for the Summer.

It is Essence Drop of Sunshine Bronzing Drops bottle with 25 ml of product. It is very liquid so I always give it a good shake before using it.

I was afraid to squeeze more because I was afraid it would spill. There is a very strong coconut scent to it, I find it very summary and not plasticky.


The shade was a big disappointment though. It is very orange on me :(  and I wish it would be more sheer. There aren't really visible sparkles but there is beautiful glow, if the shade would be more realistic this could be lovely.
I decided to mix it with one of my paler BB creams and it works like a charm. It makes it a tad darker and now I can wear it.


I guess at the end this is a good purchase since it will help me use up one other product which is also unusable on its own :)

Bunny Pure Pink & Blushed Candy

 Hello,

I have been keeping these under wraps for far too long.


They are Clio Volumate lip glosses in Bunny Pure Pink and Blushed Candy, each with 3 g of product.


Cute bottles and mega glow convinced me to purchase them. I picked two pink shades and I think I did the right call.


Applicators are short and chubby, they carry way too much product for my thin lips so I have to be careful. Texture is something else, it is thicker but not sticky. On the first one you can tell how the product folded down, it is not running since there is some thickness to it.
They are a bit minty and cooling + tingling, I don't love that feeling but it does go away after app. 15 min.


They have this jelly texture which is unique, are pigmented but can be sheered out. 

Bunny Pure Pink is light pink, slightly leaning towards warm territory and I love to pack it on. I find it to be lovely and I feel like a princess, younger me dreamt of shade like this.

Blushed Candy is deeper and brighter. This one I prefer to wear in thinner coat because of its impact.
No matter how thin I apply them they smooth over my lip lines and make them appear like I have no lip wrinkles. Formula is really good.


I like the compact little packaging and shades are lovely. I started to wearing them together, first the lighter shade and right before I go out I put a little deeper one all over but avoiding outer edges to get slight gradient look which is defined from the center and blurs outwards.

The only thing is the tingling, I don't like that but super glossy, juicy formula wins. I will keep an eye open to maybe get more shades or backups of these two since the wet look that these two give is insanely good.
