Ginger lip tint

Hello,

I am back with another lip tint. I initially wanted to get two shades but one of them got sold out before I got my hands on it and I can say that I am glad that I did not receive it :)

In the yellow toned cream matte packaging is House of Hur glowy ampoule tint in no. 4 Ginger. I think it was the most toned down shade, very natural and neutral.

It has a normal doe foot applicator but I noticed that the stopper leaves a lot of product on the wand and I get too much product. I started wiping it on the side but since it is on the soft/liquid side it is a bit messy. After using it a few times I have to wipe the rim so I doesn't start leaking.

On the photo above this shade comes of more orange than in real life but I still wanted to include it so you can see that it can be sheered out and it looks more apricot toned. I like the gloss that it gives. When applied it is not as impressive but after a few minutes after it sets it gives a really nice glossy finish.

 

Here I distributed the tint more evenly and shot it in a different light. I think here it looks more realistic as the shade is more apricot and nude. On my red pigmented lips it comes off a bit deeper but still very natural. I think it stands out in my collection of brights and mostly pinks. It is sheer and plays well even with more pigmented lips. I really like the look on me. 

The gloss however disappears pretty fast (think around 15 min and it is a shame because the glossiness looks very nice with this shade).

It leaves even but barely there tint and I am not mad. I like that it is even and I will not complain about sheerness. 

Another bad thing is the taste, after a while it develops and it is bad, somewhat chemical and bitter, not nice at all. 

I really like the tone, the sheer pigment and even application. On the other hand I don't like how messy it makes the packaging, lack of gloss and icky taste.

I think I will still use it but sparingly and will not be buying more from this line of tints.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Good as New

 Hello,

I new nail polish that I have been wearing for the past few weeks. I am definitely in my sheer era and this one seemed like a mix between base coat and light coverage nail varnish.

Here I have Essie nail perfector in Good as New. I was attracted to the soft pink hue even though I knew it is supposed to dry out matte.

This is three coats on my nails and I can still see my nail line through which I don't mind. Color is a mix between peach and pink, it is a bit warmer than what I anticipated.

Finish is matte and it is interesting with this color. It almost looks like no nail polish and my fingers are just long.

At the end I can say that I like this nail polish. I wish this color would be a bit more cool but this combo sort of masks my nails and I think it looks nice. Finish is also a bit odd but it works. I wear it for a few days on its own and then add clear top coat to refresh it.

Longevity is also very nice, this lasted whole week on my nails.

I can see myself repurchasing this one again, if they will ever come out with a cooler version I will be the first to jump and get it.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Rose blush

 Hello,

I heard good stuff from the blush below and I wanted to try it out. Flora print also helped :)

There weren't a lot of shades to choose from so I picked the softest one to try out from their line. It is Cezanne natural cheek No. 1 named Rose.

Pattern is really pretty but mine is barely visible (I use it a lot). Here, on my photos it apear more apricot like but in reality it is a bit more pink/rose toned. I would say a mix between rose and apricot and there are  golden shimmers all over it.

Brush is soft and I only tried it out, thinking i will hate it but I just ended up using it. It is the perfect size to fit in and application is seamless.

I like to do two swipes with the brush inside the pan and then only apply it on the highest point of my cheeks and then blending it out. I like a little pink accent but it is not too much.

For these swatches I put moisturiser down for the pigment to gip better otherwise swatch would be invisible. On my cheeks I also get this opacity since I put it over my foundation which I powdered down first but not too much. This blush needs a little something to stick to it.

I feel like these swatches don't do it justice. In real life and on my cheeks it is simply put gorgeous. I really like this little pop of color which is still not too powerful.

I like little and sleek packaging and I find the brush very useful.

I would get more shades from this collection and if I accidentally drop this one I am definitely buying it again.

Peach, Rozy and Taro

 Hello,

I have some more of these Fwee beans, this time from their 70% collection all decked out in metallic packaging. There are five shades in total but I got three (one was sold out and one did not really appeal to me).

They are Fwee 3D volumizing glosses in Peach, Rozy and Taro. Packaging looks really nice but I can see how much product is still left in them. 

Applicator have the same short wands but they are not weird to hold. The scent is the same, super sweet candy like fruit. I personally really like it and I can't get enough of it.

First is Peach, bright and lively and I have to say that is my favorite. I still don't have 30% Vanilla but I think they might be similar.

Next is Rozy which looks a bit more coral and I like that. Sometimes I like a little pop of glossy coral on my lips and this one really scratches my itch.

Last is Taro and has this beautiful cool tone mauve tone. Whenever I am in the mood for a cooler toned make-up I love reaching for this one.

They are pigmented (they are only available in the 70% concentration) and leave a lot of pigment but also a lot of shine on the lips. I wish they would come out with more sheer formulations out but we will have to see if they will do it in the future.

I love the shades, the scent is gorgeous ,shine is really up there and the longevity is decent. I can see myself wearing these on the regular basis and even getting some more shades.

At the moment I have my eyes locked on 30% Vanilla and 70% Yoghurt.

Doggy palette

 Hello,

for today I have an extremely happy looking eye shadow palette. Just seeing this packaging it makes me smile.

I purchased this cutie from Zeesea and it is from their puppy collection four color eyeshadow in the Amaenbou option. I call it my puppy palette :)

It includes light and warm tones. Three are matte and one is super sparkly. There is also a mirror to help with the application.

Cream color with bone imprint is barely visible on my skin tone but nice for blending the edges, second shade is light brown. I expected this one to be a bit more rosy but it has a touch of orange in it.

Under is matte brown, for me it is nice shading shade and next to it it is orange/golden shimmery shade. Very warm but it is buildable. Light touch just leaves a bit of sparkles but if I want to go with full force I can get this orangey glittery shade all over my lids.

Both brown shades are buildable (I personally prefer lighter touch) and the glitter is too warm toned for me so I use it with a light touch. I wish the cream shade would have a tad more pigment but even with light pigmentation I can find some good use for it.

All in all, this palette isn't ideal for me but I can make all four shades work for me and that makes me happy and I will use my doggy palette in the future.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Apricot Crush

 Hello,

here I have an older lip product from Catrice limited edition. It was gift with purchase but I was able to pick out the shade (one out of three). It was part of collection: My jewels, my rules. I actually had this lip gloss in my online shopping basket but at the end I did not buy it since it holds very little product. I guess that I was lucky to not but it because now I got it for free :)

It is Catrice Apricot Crush lip glaze (gloss) from their 'old' My jewels, my rules collection. It is pale apricot with tiny golden shimmers.

The applicator is slightly different and I like that but it doesn't hold a lot of product. Gloss is thin, feels more like lip oil and stays on my lips for around 30-40 min. The scent is slightly soapy and fruity, a bit different in the flood of lip products. 

On the skin it is clear but shimmer is there, especially when the shine goes away my lips have tons of tiny shimmers left and I don't mind that.

I also noticed that it is decently hydrating.

I like the high shine, small sparkles, scent is a bit odd but I applaud the change but the bottle hold only 3 ml of product and using it only a few days a third is already gone.

I think it is a nice item but I am glad I did not spent my money on it because it will be finished before next full moon.

Luminous Pink glassy lip balm

 Hello,

for today I have product from a brand Naj Oleari and it is my first item from them. I can only find products  in a few select stores and on top of that they don't have a big selection. Limited editions are rare and I have been eying Autumn collection but at the end I did not but anything. There were only a few items available but nothing quite fit in my make-up bag. I looked at the eyeshadow palette but there were some shades that I knew I would not wear. They also released some blushes and while the packaging was beautiful none of the shades spoke to me. At the end I picked up glossy lip balm and I love nourishing lip balm properties combined with shine.

Here it is Naj Oleari click on me glassy lip balm in Luminous Pink. I first got attracted by its color and second was a unique packaging. You just have to press the lid down and it jumps out, very cool and sometimes I find myself doing it while watching videos.

There are also cute cherries on the lid and I can see that they use this design on all of their lip products. Face products have flowers, nail items have palm trees, eye items have bees and even brushes have their own design which are bows. So, so cute.

The applicator is also unique since it has this curve which hugs my bottom lip like a lover, I noticed that it doesn't carry enough product so I need to reach for more but I guess it it better if the opening is smaller than bigger. It is less messy.

This color is much more sheer than what it looks from the bottle. It has a soft pink pearly shimmer in it and the curvature of my lips makes this shimmer even more visible but it is still on the subtle side.

There is some scent but nothing too obvious or sweet.

When I first apply it the product is a bit thick and goopey but after 5-10 min it settles and it feels like a regular lip gloss, thankfully it is not sticky and it feels good. My lips were hydrated for around half a day and then I needed to apply something more hydrating. 

I really like this packaging and how the product looks in the packaging but thankfully on my lips it is more sheer and more wearable. I am glad that I tried it out, maybe I will get the Pearly Nude shade as well but at the moment I have way too many lip products and I really shouldn't buy more :(

Dolce Vita & Fast Lane

 Hello,

for the first post of the year I picked something bright and shiny. Hopefully it will reflect in my future :)

They are Nars after glow lip balms in Dolce Vita and Fast Lane.

They are both shimmer free and I like that, they would be nice with some sparkle but sometimes having just a glossy lip without shimmer is refreshing. First is coral shade Dolce Vita and second somewhat cool toned mauve pink is Fast Lane.

They are glossy lip balms with little pigment but when I put them on the lips, pigment is more visible. I don't know what kind of witchcraft this is but I swear that on my lips the colors are more pronounced.

I think I picked good shades for myself. Dolce Vita is bright and brings a little life back to my face and Fast Lane is that subtle mauve with a bit of cool toned pink to make my lips a bit different (not my natural red shade). 

I like the shine but I was expecting more gloss, nevertheless I still like them a lot and will use them up. I will see if I can find something similar since these are expensive to buy once these are gone.

The hydrating factor wasn't high enough and I had to switch to regular clear balm to nourish my lips.

So overall, not hydrating enough but shiny and colorful (more than what you would expect from the swatch) but still sheer enough to apply without a mirror. My lips looked nice after using them, I love the gloss and color ratio even though I would not complain if they would be even glossier. I noticed that the shine and color lasted a long time, close to one hour twenty which is impressive.
