Strawberry Mousse Ball & Quartz Ball

 Hello,

I purchased this duo a while ago. Honestly, here the mini stole my heart and I purchased it mainly for the sparkling black gloss.

Tint looked like a pretty pink so I thought I will like it as well ;)

First is Alternative stereo Sugar Glaze Strawberry Mousse Ball in 8 ml of product and mini of Pearl Glaze in Quartz Ball shade with 1,5 ml of product. I just learned that this item really existed in a full size!

Applicators are the same size, only the regular sized tint has wider one, otherwise they are the same. They have very slight and odd scent, nothing fruity or sweet but it is more unintentional. 

Full sized one has ceramic packaging, very unique and the opening is very slim.

First is Strawberry Mousse Ball freshly applied, shade is neutral and quite pigmented. It applies slightly streaky but after a minute it even out and brings out super shine which lasts for about 1h, after that it is still glossy for about 30 min until the shine disappears and stain remains.

Second shade is pretty special named Quartz Ball. It has sheer black base with tons of purple, violet and silver shimmers. Overall it gives sheer plum base, applied over bright shades it tones them down, when I apply it over something innocent looking or over bare lips it gives this moody look. It has sigh shine and I think it looks beautiful. Shine lasts for 1,5h and then it starts settling and fading. after about additional 20-30 min it completely disappears and only shimmer remains.

I like how even the stain is after Strawberry Mousse Ball dries, it slightly deepens but remains even, this is a big plus for me.

Quartz Ball took me by surprise with its hot tingling. It is not menthol or cooling sensation, my guess it would be that they put some kind of chilly in it. It is pretty strong and the moment I started talking it got on my tongue and it burned. This strong sensation lasts for half an hour and then it disappears. I personally could do without this strong burning.

I like the pink tint, it is glossy and long lasting plus the staining is even. It gets thumbs up from me, second one is more like a lip gloss and while the shade and shimmer are beautiful the hot burning is a bit too much for me. I think it will take me a long time to use it up vut I still wish they would bring it back but without the burning. 

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Peach Flush

 Hello,

I have been eying this palette and I just could not choose which palette to grab. This time around I picked only one, which is a big deviation from my usual habit :)

This cutie is WakeMakeSoft Sheer Multi Palette in the shade Peach Flush. It looked inviting and lately I have been dipping my toes into cream products. This palette includes one and it is in the bottom right.

I like the overall coral tone but not all of the shades follow this storyline. They have some palettes with only one shades but it is presented in various finishes, I was more attracted to this palette which includes shades with which I can make whole look.

None of the shades have big glitter but rather modest shimmer. I was also very intrigued by the one cream shade.

I swatched them down, after first top shade I swatched shade below and then I jumped to the middle top and then middle bottom and so on.

First shade is ivory with little silver specks, there is sheer base color and I use it over other shades or on its own to add some sparkle.

Under this one is soft peachy shade with almost sateen finish with some random sparkles. This one has base color and it is beautiful used all over the lid.

Third shade is ivory and it looks matte but it does not lay flat, it has glow from within (it is not chalky) and it is great for preparing the lid, on me it performs slightly lighter than my skin tone.

Darkest rosy coral has very beautiful sateen glow. This finish is a bit more rare and my favorite but this base color can be intense. It does bring my blue eyes out more and it is more unique in my collection. 

Brown shading shade is also matte but not powdery, if I apply it with a thin brush it can be used as a liner or with a fluffier brush it can be applied more sheer and I can blend the outer edges. I really like how versatile it is.

Last shade is coral and creamy. I was scared to use it over my finished make-up so first I used it on bare skin and then build my make-up from there and it worked beautifully. I picked up a courage and put it over my freshly applied foundation and it did not disturbed my make-up, I also tried it over freshly powdered cheek and it looked really nice. I can say that this one is the first cream blush that I have tried which looks absolutely beautiful over and under my make-up. 

Shade starts sheer but it can be build up and the glow is glowing without being sticky (my hair did not stick to it).

A little close up of the first two shades and their different glow, first has bigger sparkles while the other one is more of a full glowy base color.

Another close up just to show how different they can look in different light. I love how easy to blend they are and there is very minimal powder kick. I use my regular eyeshadow primer and these all stay put all day long even in extreme heat.

I like this thin all over palette, shades combined are lovely, easy to work with and suit me extremely well. Cream product also gave me so much faith in future endeavours with creamy products. 

I think I will order more of WakeMake palette because I am in love with this one and I can see some other colors which intrigue me.

Grape Jelly & Peach Jelly

 Hello,

I am back with tinted lip products housed inside tubes. Since I could not choose just one I picked two.

They are Tony Moly Juicy Peptide Lip Jellys in Grape Jelly and Peach Jelly. There are five shades to pick from. Each tube holds 10 ml of product.

Applicators are exceptionally wide and they remind me of ducks feet :) 

Scent is barely there and fruity, I wish it would be more prominent.

I swatched these just by squeezing the product out of the tubes and I did not blend them. I was a bit scared at first sight since they appear very pigmented but there is somewhat jelly feel to them and I was eager to try them out.

They are easily sheered out and wearing them gives a nice flush of color to my lips. At first the texture is a bit thick and if I smack my lips together it is stringy so now I wait a minute or two for the formula to lock in and there is no more of that. 

I love that even though I put just a little on my lips this jelly texture remains super glossy and juicy looking.

I like that the packaging is a bit different, shades that I have picked are lovely and the shine is insane. 

Color prints on my coffee cups but it seems like it does not effect the pigment or shine on my lips. 

They last up to two hours on my lips which I think is some record.

I love pretty much everything about them and when I was looking for other shades I can't find them anymore. I hope they will come back and I can get some more of them :)

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Think Pink blush

 Hello,

It is Essence Soft Baked blush in the color option Think Pink. What attracted me was the super glow of this blush, I had to scout for it to finally find it in one of the stores.

Shade is vivid, quite bright, raspberry juicy shade. Particles are very small and part of the pigment, I love that the glow is cool toned since gold is too obvious on my skin tone.

First swatch is made with only two layers, it is very pigmented and bold, second swatch is blended out with remains on my tips and it showcases how I wear it on my face. I lightly touch my brush against the product, tap the excess and swipe it over my cheeks. I love the glow it gives and a hint of pink.

This blush is one of the more fun ones in my make-up collection. I like to reach for it when I want a light flush with plenty of glow, contrary to what it looks like on the first swatch or in the pan. I like that it is buildable and blendable. There is one negative thing and after wearing it for a few hours in this extreme heat it can make my skin texture more visible. I try to use little amount and I feel like it is not as bad as the first time I tried it (when I applied a bit too much).

Now when I wear it I am just careful not to apply too much and it is fine :)

Birchleaf Peach, Peachy Aqua and Cardamom

 Hello,

I recently made a big purchase of FlowerKnows products, obviously I had to put some of these glossy lipsticks into my basket as well.

I picked up FlowerKnows Butterfly Cloud Collar Collection Glossy Lipsticks in Birchleaf Peach, Peachy Aqua and Cardamom. Each lipstick holds 3,5 g of product.

Packaging is very heavy and details on each tube are exceptional.  There is some scent present but very faint, it reminds me of Caramel the most.

Honestly, when I opened these up shades surprised me a lot because they all look very different from promo photos.

First is Birchleaf Peach and it is more burnt orange than peach to me, I can sheer it out but warmth remains.

In the middle is Peachy Aqua, very bright and cool toned vivid pink shade. I see no peach. This shade is more up my alley and I wear it more often than the previous shade.

Last is Cardamom and it reminds me of dried rose shade. This one surprisingly looks amazing on me and it slowly became my favorite. It seems to match my natural color the most and I like that. It makes my lips more even and glossy.

The shine on these is amazing, I think these are the glossiest lipsticks that I have tried. High shine last for about 1h 20 min and then it starts fading. Around 2h mark the formula gets a bit sticky. While it is shiny it is smooth like butter, when it starts drying it changes. There is slight stick to it, I find it a bit annoying but it does not upset me that much to prevent me from wearing them.

Packaging is beautiful, and I had semi luck with these shades. I can tell that Birchleaf Peach will get the least wear, Peachy Aqua will look amazing in the scorching Summer and Cardamom is my everyday lip. Formula is amazing, just what I like about, if they would fix the slight stick they would be perfect.

Malibu

 Hello,

I picked another gloss balm from Unleasha, I really like my first shade but that one is very bright so I thought that I will pick lighter shade for everyday wear.

I picked Unleashia Sunset Dazzle Gloss Balm in the shade Malibu. It looked like a soft pink shade, something I could wear daily and apply without a mirror.

Donut applicators still surprise me but application is pretty easy despite big round silicone. 

Scent is slight, leans toward the green apple territory and there is no taste.

Shade is surprisingly vivid and pigmented (not really if I compare it with Ibiza, my first shade) but I honestly thought that this one would be more sheer. Pigment is there and I just have to make sure that I apply thin coat of it to avoid having too much color on my lips.

This pigment never settles into my fine lines and I love that. It is very hydrating and keeps my lips nourished all day long. The shine lasts a little over one hour.

I really like Unleashia lip balm formula and there is cool toned lavender shade named Budapest which makes my heart skip a beat but I can't find it, it is exclusive to some countries that I have no access to. There are some muted shades available as well and I have two or three also on my list but lavender one is the one that is calling my name.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Big shopping spree no. 5

 Hello,

another post on one of my largest packages. This one includes also some free gifts with purchase.

On top there is Colorgram Fruity Glass Tint in Pink Gloss. This one isn't really a tint but a clear gloss with sparkles. They recommend to use it over tints for that extra shine and I fell for it since the stacked candy as a lid sucked me into thinking I don't have enough lip glosses.

Silver stick is About Tone Blur Lasting Stick Primer. I watched someone over youtube using it and make-up looked really pretty and it was on sale so I decided to test it myself to see if it will do the same for me.

Two chic tubes are Hince Mood Enhancers Lip Glows in Dear Rose and Chill Out. Honestly their whole campaign looks so nice. Models are wearing barely there base and a hint of make-up on their lips and it looks very nice. I wanted to recreate that feeling with these tow sticks. Hopefully they are aslo nourishing lip balms not just tinted sticks.

On the bottom there are three freebies, they are Unleashia Shaper Defining Eyebrow Pencil in Taupe Gray, Oatmeal Brown and Kraft Brown. I was not able to choose colors and since my brows are black I think only Taupe Gray will fit me, I will see if I can use the other two as eye liners... 

Egg shaped sphere is Hince Raw Glow Dewy Ball in the shade Bare Dew. These are supposed to be similar to the Fwee ones and are a bit cheaper so I decided to try out one to see how they compare. On top of that brand as a whole, Hince is pulling me in with their beautiful vision.

Big white bow is Joocyee Happy Me Day Cream Blush in Romantic Pink. On promo photos this shade put a spell on me and I could not let it go. Nude one is also super pretty but this one was no. one for me and if I like the formula then I might pick the other one too.
