Petal Primavera

 Hello,

I recently rediscovered one of my older blushes and I am very glad that I did.

It is Milano Baked blush in Petal Primavera. I was looking at some of the more famous shades but they seemed a bit too glowy, then I found this baby and I think I found a true gem.

It has pinky-nude-peach color to it and it looked like it would be sateen, no specific particles and glowy bits. I only wish that the veining would be more obvious (there is some but so pale that it is barely noticeable).

Shade is somewhat unique mix of warm tones and it depends from the angle you look at it. On the curvature of my cheeks it shows up and it looks like I have used multiple colors.

There is sateen finish and there are some fine sparkles thrown in the mix. I made these swatches just with my finger so these swatches are a bit stronger than what I wear applied with a brush. I also think that tapping off the excess removes these random shimmers and it has beautiful glow.

This blush is really beautiful and it is one of my favorites. I think that this shade looks beautiful on me, it can be really subtle and lets the glow do the talking but applied with one extra layer it gets stronger and less subtle. It also can be the star and vocal point of my make-up.

Now I am even more inclined to try other shades and see if there is some other shades with the same finish. I would love to have a brown one, bronzer with this glow. I think this would be really beautiful.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Awesome Apple and Bee Mine

 Hello,

I purchased two more juicy bombs. They are very inexpensive and easy to use. These two are newer and one looked like it has a pretty shade and other one convinced me with their alleged scent.

They are Essence juicy bomb shiny lip glosses in their newer shades. Little Sunshine is named Awesome Apple and yellow one is Bee Mine with advertised honey scent :)

Bee Mine is older and has older top than the Awesome Apple, I think new ones will all have this more angular cut applicator.

The size of the tube remains at the 10 ml.

Awesome Apple looks like it has pink pearl effect while still in the tube but on the swatch and my skin it is barely noticeable but if I apply more I can see it but then I risk spilling it down towards my chin. These juicy bombs have always have pretty liquid and thin texture which also does not last very long.

Scent on this pink one is slight but it reminds me of sour apple.

Second one I have been looking at for a while now, I wanted the honey scent but yellow gold shimmers aren't my thing but when I put first one in my shopping cart I put this second one as well, to have company in transit :)

Bee Mine has a bit of honey scent but once it is on the lips I can't smell it anymore, surprisingly I can taste it :) It has this sweet honey taste which makes me want to lick it all of because it is so delicious. Random yellow glitter particles all of a sudden don't bother me :)

I like the Awesome Apple one but Bee Mine takes the cake. I can see myself using it all up and getting a new tube of sweet honey goodness.

Bunny tints

 Hello,

I am back with these two cute bunnies. 

I just wanted to commemorate the sweet box design. I purchased two out of three, the middle deeper rosy shade didn't look like something for me so I left it out of my shopping basket.

I decided to get Peripeera Ink Mood Glowy Tint in Joking Pink and Hurry Up Pink. Each holds standard 4 ml of product.

At first the packaging looked standard until I looked closer the lids. Each has a bunny in them, such a delicate, barely there design but it makes me happy whenever I see them.

Also there are standard wands, easy to use and they carry enough product.

First two are Joking Pink and this shade has warm pink undertones, almost leaning towards peach. I feel like this one brightens my face and looks pretty natural on me. I like this one a lot.

Third and fourth swatches are Hurry Up Pink, it is much cooler and deeper. Has almost a violet touch to it.

I find this one to be a bit dark and deep on me so I prefer to wear it pretty sheer.

They apply semi glossy but after a few minutes full juicy shine is revealed and it sticks, after a good hour when it starts "drying" it leaves a stain. My stain swatches are pretty sheer because I did not used that much product but for me these are realistic swatches, that is hoe they look on me and to be honest they aren't that different.

After I removed "fresh" swatches stains were stronger and more distinguishable but I don't wear them so intensely.

I really like Peripera lip stains in general, they are one of my favorite formulas and I don't know if I will love the new ones just as much... I have not tried them out.

Out of these two Joking Pink is my favorite and I will get a lot of wear out of it :)

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Love to Fight?

 Hello,

this blush looks beautiful while still in the box. They just made a cut out to show off the happy sun :)

Sunny compact is GirlCult Nanyang Holiday Collection Mood blusher powder in the option Love to Fight.

The other two version are more neutral and natural looking browns.

Packaging is beautiful, different from anything else I have ever seen. Sun is raised and touchable but the blue background is just a sticker, if wet it lifts, don't ask me how I know :(

Inside is gorgeous, not just the imprint but the two colors. Vivid watermelon red mixed with pale pastel blue, such a unique color scheme. I also love that there is a mirror inside for easy application.

Shade on my swatches comes out a bit pale in comparison with real life. It is reddish pink, bright and 

lively. 

I have to be careful not to apply too much because it can quickly turn too much but if I am careful it looks lively.

I like to wear it on my cheeks when my eye make-up is neutral and minimal, this blush somehow looks natural but if I put a smidge more it takes and carries the look. I look naturally flushed and I have nothing else in my collection that is similar.

This blush is special and I have nothing else in my collection which could come close. I like the design and the output. I think this shade looks like I am naturally flushed, no matter how vivid still it looks natural and I love that.

This blush is now one of my favorite ones, I will definitely look into their blushes a bit more carefully and see if there is something else for me :)

Fwee duos

 Hello,

I got some more of these lovely Fwee lip glosses. I find that they have really nice sheer shades with decent longevity. 

This time I purchased two sets, each includes one limited edition mini. They are Fwee 3D voluming glosses. Peachy duo is 70% Vanilla and mini is 70% Peach Oolong. Bottom two are 70% Yogurt (this one I wanted ever since I lay my eyes on it months ago) and 70% Rose Hip.

This packaging is already small looking but minis are extra small but at the same time super cute, I hope they will also release them in a regular size as well.

They still have that sweet fruity scent which is nice and makes me want to wear them all the time.

Here I first swatched mini Rose Hip and second is Yogurt. I can see why they packaged them together. Shades look nice together and can create lovely gradient but I still prefer the lighter Yogurt version :)

Next is the warmer duo, first or third swatch is Peach Oolong and second is Vanilla. I like the peachy mini, it pulls a bit into nude territory and at the moment I really like this color scheme but I am so glad that I have finally tried Vanilla. I love that it has some brightness, it leans a bit coral but it is still light and translucent.

They are still some of my favorite lip glosses, the scent is gorgeous and shine is glossy but not sticky. Shades are see-through but that is what makes them so pretty, I think they wear so well when my lips are pale or when I have more pigment, they just accentuate my natural coloring and lightly push it towards its tone. 

I see that they just came out with a new Vanilla Dessert and have two new shades... I am intrigued.

Peach Jellyfish

 Hello,

I am back with another Joocyee lip gloss. I truly hopped that I would like this one better than the previous one.

Beautifully oil slicked tube is Joocyee Glazed lip gloss in shade 09 Peach Jellyfish. Tube is quite large but it holds only 3,2 ml of product but the translucent and jet colorful packaging is stunning.

Applicator is slightly paddle like and holds plenty of product. Shade is vibrant coral leaning towards red but still kind of fresh looking and modern.

First is fresh swatch and second is stain left behind. There is some golden shimmers visible but I can spot them more in the stain version, on the fresh swatch they almost hide within glow.

This gloss isn't super glossy (I wished it would be juicier) and this shine also doesn't last awfully long. After around half an hour it starts fading and on my lips this one leaves uneven stain. My arm has nice, even stain so I know my lips have something weird going on.

Shade is a bit bright for me but I still like it a lot, only the mediocre shine and uneven staining prevent me from using it more often. I think I will give this one to my sister, maybe she will have better experience with staining. 

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Spring Whipping Cloud

 Hello,

when I saw this palette my heart skipped a beat. I like light make-up on my eyes and this one looked perfect for me. 

It is Etude Play Color Eyes Spring whipping cream eye shadow palette. Color palette looks delicate and shades look easy to use regarding to tones similar to my own skin tone.

I don't know what exactly it is but I love looking at it and shades somewhat look inviting, I feel like it is hard to mess up palette for me.

Top row here looks a bit deceiving. 

First shade Butter Flavor is ivory but with a peachy pearl finish, on swatches bellow it is a bit more visible than here in the pan.

Cream shade is Scramble Whipping, it has very slight peach tone to it so it is not too stark but gentle and it blends perfectly into my skin.

Last in a row is Sugar & Salty, this one stands out since it is jelly bronzy/peachy glittery shade. Its tone and finish is different from anything else in this palette. It almost feely creamy in the palette but on the skin it blends in and there is no sticky creaminess.

Second row begins with Whole Wheat Cookie. Compared to the second shade in the top row this one is more neutral, it has no peachy tones to it but can look a bit lighter on my skin tone so I like to use it if I want to accentuate the lid.

My photo doesn't do this middle Mochi Mochi shade justice. This one is a bit brighter in real life and gives a bit of kick to my make-up, it is still soft looking but inside this palette it is the brightest and most colorful.

Last one has almost identical coloring than the first in the same row but this one has some random silver glitters thrown in the mix, it is named Sugar Free. On the lid is pale, matte but still playful since the particles nicely reflect the light. It is super easy to use since it sets my primer, slightly brightens and covers the lid and at the same time adds sparkles.

Last row begins with Oat Latte. I find this name very appropriate and fitting. It is matte and gives a bit of dimension to my lid. I like to use it all over the lid and drag it all the way up to my crease. It is light but has just enough coverage for quick and easy make-up look.

Heavy Cream is light grey. I love greys on me but often they are too deep and then look unnatural, this one  is light and sheer. It still gives the coolness but somehow looks natural on me.

Last but not least is Two Shot Americano. On the photo below it looks a bit more realistic since this deep brown is warm toned, not Espresso deep, almost black shade. I like using it as a liner to create little nice wing but since it is not super deep my make-up still looks pretty natural.

I love the incorporated whipped relief on four shades, such a nice touch to stay on the theme. These four are raised and you get more powder with them.

At first glance these shades look very similar but since I am pale they show up and each has a slight difference in them so I can differentiate them and have use out of all of them.

First swatch is Butter Flavor with pearly finish, followed by a matte, peachy ivory Scramble Whipping (on their swatches this one looks peachier than on me). Glittery shade is Sugar & Salty and base does not translate on my skin. I kind of like that it is sheer because these shades are not my favorite (orange toned bronze shades look nice agains my grey/blue eyes but are not my personal preference).

After the shimmers shade is matte ivory (true ivory without any other undertones and that makes it hard to spot on my arm) Whole Wheat Cookie. The brightest Mochi Mochi shade is next which also does not stands out. On the other side is another ivory but this one has random glitters which sparkles in the sun but hardly visible on my photos - Sugar Free.

Last three have more coloring to them and stand out a bit more. Oat Latte looks warm toned nude, it has just enough color to gently define my eyes.

Grey Heavy Cream exude gentle coolness which I love.

Lastly there is Two Shot Americano for definition but stays in the warm territory. I like that they did not made it super dark and pigmented, I feel like it works better with the whole palette like so.

I understand that these swatches look almost the same but in person there is difference and for me they make a change. I personally like light tones, close to my skin tone with slight variation. I feel ike this palette was made for someone like me but I can see some people being disappointed with pale shades.

Here I would like to focus on the two glowy shades, first in line is Butter Flavor and third is Sweet & Salty. Just to show difference in the sparkly bits.

 

In the corner there is a bit of Sweet & Salty shade, followed by two mattes and then it is the ivory Sugar Free with random sparkles. It is such an unexpected shade and so nice to put it on when I am in a hurry.

This palette is gorgeous to look at and for me it is also joy to use on my eyes. I don't like big palettes since I often find repeat shades which look the same on me but here I really can't say the same. When I wear them on my eyes they are subtle but make a difference. I love the pale shades which imitate my personal coloring, added peach tones refresh my complexion while grey makes my heart sing. Added sparkles are a nice touch and having a variety of three is lovely, for me it is also very nice that they added darker shade to line but not overpower.

I wear all nine shades and rarely I can say that I love them all. I can't predict which one would be the first to be panned but I know I will not get sick of this color scheme.

I also purchased the Summer option which looks a bit deeper and more violet, we will see which one I will prefer at the end but the next one is held to a high standard for me .

Tropical Pineapple & Sunny Mango for the Summertine

 Hello,

I purchased these two a while ago and I never showed them. One of them is already expired according to the expiration date:( the formula, scent and coloring still feels the same but I will try to use it up as fast as possible to prevent it from going bad.

They are Ziaja lip glosses, first is Tropical Pineapple and second is Sunny Mango. I don't know why one has clear tube and other is white with no see through packaging.

They have pretty large opening and a lot of product comes out (after a while they get messy). At first they are quite thick but on the lips (I assume it is the warmth) they thin out and are easy to apply. After a few minutes they feel almost like lip oils, a bit thin but they also don't last super long, around 30 - 40 min and after that I need to reapply.

They both have pearly finish, Tropical Pineapple has more of a white base while Sunny Mango turns slightly towards the yellow tone. The intensity of pearl shimmer is the same in both of them.

These swatches are very heavy, I wear them a bit more toned down, so the pearly effect only give the fuller look illusion but it doesn't distract it from the stain or my true lip color if worn alone. What I am trying to say is that they don't show up as intensely on my lips as they do in these swatches.

Tropical Pineapple smells like fresh, juicy pineapple and Sunny Mango has a fruity scent as well but I can't completely pinpoint it since Mango fruit is not something I would eat on a regular basis so I don't quite know how it smells like. 

I like both scents, I am always down for something fruity and they aren't plastic or gross tasting.

These are fruity, lovely on the lips (pearl finish doesn't look unnatural) and are hydrating. I wish they would last a bit longer on the lips but overall I really like them. There are two ore options available... I am interested.
