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.

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.

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.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Pink Pearl lip gloss

 Hello,

I had this lip gloss for a while now. I remember I purchased it in a local store with some discount. Back there I was digging mauve shades and this one looked perfect, if I would be picking now I would get something more nude or brown.

It is Isadora Glossy Lip Treat Moisturizing Lip Color in the shade Pink Pearl and holds 13 ml of product. Tube is very long and slim, convenient for carrying it around.

This applicator has four openings where product can come out and application is easy. I was scared that it would be too much but it is actually not.

There is slight scent but I can't put my finger down of what it remind me. I feel like I smelled this in a face moisturiser...

Shade Pink Pearl is brighter fuchsia pink with silver shimmers. Shade is buildable but from the start it is already quite pigmented. 

Shine lasts for about one hour and after gloss disappears pink shade with shimmers remains, it is not a stain (it is easy to wipe off but if I leave it or apply clear lip balm over it shade carries through).

I like the tiny shimmer and how nice the formula feels but the shade is a bit bright for me. I still wore it but I think I will now put it in the drawl and wait for the warmer weather to bring it out again.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

new lippies

 Hello,

my lates colorful and summery purchase arrived a few days ago. I have received also two clips, one is shell and another one is starfish, very Summer like :) 

I picked up two more Muzigae Mansion Icy Glow lip glosses in Better and Breezy. On my photo they look a bit orange, in reality they are both rosy. First is reddish rosy and second is a tad lighter, more coral. I like their slightly green rose scent, pigmentation is not on a super sheer side but still lighter pigmented and they wear beautifully on the lips. I felt that the rosy tones would be great in the Autumnal weather.

Next in a black packaging is my free gift with purchased which I have already tried and posted. It is another Muzigae Mansion item and this one is rosy glitter, for the cheeks it is a bit too sparkly but for the eyes I think it is perfect. I can't find this item to be sold which I think is a bit of a shame, it has wet texture which sets quickly and does not move.

The two sticks are Dasique Melting Candy Balms, I tried to pick the more modest shades and decided to get Apple Cinnamon and Sugar Plum, I hope they are not too bright. I hope they are just as glossy as presented. With purchase of these two I received the two hair clips. Starfish is easier to grip but they look lovely in my hair. I will save them for a warmer weather.

I decided to finally try the Laka Soul Vegan Lip Balm in the shade Rosy. These don't get much press and I wondered if they are really bad or just lost among the many awesome products this brand makes? I guess I will try it out soon enough :)

I purchased another Laka Bonding Glow Lipstick, I really like this formula and when I saw that this Mito shade (deeper nude) was in stock I grabbed it. I wanted this one for a while now :)

Last from Laka is their Jelling Nude Gloss in the shade Grape Ring, it was also a free gift with purchase. I think I already have one from this line but at the moment I can't find it... At the end I gladly purchased two items to get this one for free, it is a lip gloss and I love glosses ;)

On the bottom there are two more Unleashia Berry Shot Lip Tints in Peachy Peach and White Berry. I already have one and I like it so much that getting two more seemed like a good idea.

Then there are two Unleashia Sunset Dazzle Gloss Balms. I initially wanted some of the muted nude shades and the lavender but since those were not available I picked yellow tube which is Waikiki, clear shade but applies slightly yellow. Thought that since I really like this formula I could use this one at night to go to bed and there was also a promise of a free balm... I did not know which shade they would send and unfortunately it was Ibiza. Lovely shade but I already have it and it will take me forever to get through so I am giving this one to my sister and clear one will stay with me for now.

Lip Milk

 Hello,

next item is from the brand Thim and at first I did not care for this product but after days and weeks of seeing it online I got curious.

On the box there is writing which looks like their motto: Life is a beauty, beauty is what you choose to make it, create your own theme, live with your Thim.

I really like it and it gives me some food for my thoughts. Recently I felt the need to change my routine make-up, I am trying new stuff all the time but always in the same matter. I wish for some change, to start doing things in a different matter. I feel the need for a change.

I am mostly talking about changing my colored make-up but it starts with a hydrating and well taken care skin especially now when the cold is sneaking in.

I picked up Thim Essential Lip Milk, I believe this is a hydrating lip balm in a liquid base with a lip gloss kind of look.

Applicator is chubby and caries plenty of product, I have no need for reapplying. Bottle carries 7g of product which I find is a lot.

At first it is a bit milky white but for me that is also a sign that I have applied too much so I spread it thinly all over my lips. At first it is glossy but then it dries to a lip balm shine. When I press my lips together there is light slip which tells me that the product is still there. It lasts exceptionally long, about two hours without eating and my lips are soft and nourished. I really enjoy this lip product, I wonder if they will ever release it in another shade...

Bunny Fizz & Fig Drizzle

 Hello,

these lip glosses were super popular a while ago, everyone praised them and swatches looked super juicy with sheer color payoff, just as I like it. I can see that they came out with some more nude/brown shades, so very Autumnal and I see some pretty shades as well.

They are Nuse Reju lip glosses in Bunny Fizz and Fig Drizzle. I had a hard time choosing only two shades and at the end I picked something pink and something more mauve-nude colored.

I love that the opening has this slanted area which makes application easy (the lid also has a flat spot and can make this gloss stand on its own, I really like this little detail).

First I will mention scents, Bunny Fizz smells juicy fruity while Fig Drizzle is chocolate scented. Both scents are light and have no taste.

Next is formula, I don't know why but mine have little clusters, on the darker color above they are more visible. Gloss comes out a bit hard and most of it spreads nicely but there are little balls of pigment which melt after pressing the tip down to my lips or rubbing my lips together. I have been using them for days now and there are still balls coming out. I have not seen any reviews with this happening so I assume this happened because of some temperature shock in transport.

Bunny Fizz is neutral pink shade and on a sheer side of pigmentation, this one is effortless with a hint of pink brightness. Very easy to wear.

Fig Drizzle has this beautiful fleshy fig coloring, not brown and not red. It adds vibrancy but in a modest way. I absolutely adore this shade. I think this one is my favorite since it is a bit different.

I love the packaging and the shades, I love the sheerness and light scents, bonus point for making scents different but grainy effect is not cool. and this alone is preventing me from buying more shades. I know this isn't something a lot of people experience with and maybe buying more shades will not have the same effect or maybe this will happen again and this ruins my experience with the product.

Peach Tea, Ribbon Pink and Croissant

 Hello,

seeing these instantly made me look into this formula. I knew I should pick only one but then I settled for one from each color story, close enough :)

Cupcakes are from FlowerKnows The Sweetie Bear collection Coating Lip Jellies in Peach Tea, Ribbon Pink and Croissant. I picked shades which looked the most wearable to me and I am not disappointed.

Packaging is cute but predominately bulky, each holds 5g of balmy gloss. Bears are pretty detailed and the whole packaging looks like a sweet cupcake. I love how they integrated the applicator. It is handy and in a clean spot inside each packaging.

Applicator is firm and easy to use. All jellies have the same light bitter chocolate scent, it is not bad but I am also not a big fan of it. I blame my previous experience with chocolate lip balms and most of them were not the best so now I am transferring that feeling onto these. They smell nice if you like chocolate scent but I prefer more caramel or vanilla of something juicy fruity. 

All three shades look a bit moody and Autumnal here but individually they have their own character.

First is Peach Tea and is a warm toned nude, I like to apply it sheer and it just adds warmth and I am not too mad about it. I think it suits me.

Ribbon Pink is my favorite and I think I knew that even before purchasing it. It is neutral pink and I like to add a bit more just to get that refreshing pink hue.

Last is Croissant and the deepest from my pick. It gives me melted chocolate vibe, not bad, surprisingly I like it a lot on myself (pink is still my favorite but I can see myself using it a ton in this chill weather).

They go on my lips a bit like mousse, turn shiny and glossy after a minute. They feel like nothing on the lips after half an hour they start getting sticky. Shine is still going strong and lasts for about one and a half an hour, color remains for even longer but it is severely sticky and I don't like that. I usually just wipe it off after around two and a half an hours. If reapplied the first feeling is restored but I don't carry this bulky packaging around with me.

I like how long lasting these are, I even like all three shade but when they get so sticky all I want is to take them off. It is a weird formula and I think I can use them up but I will not be buying more shades or backups.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

sparkler

 Hello,

this item was sent to me as a gift with purchase and I can't find any info on it....

It is Muzigae Mansion Waterful Gemstick but I can't find any specific name for it also I can't find this item still being sold or maybe it was only a promotional item and never meant for sale individually...

When I remove the black lid there is another clear, tight fitting one which prevents this item to dehydrate. 

Products itself looks very grainy but there are multicolored specks which also translate on the skin and the feeling is actually smooth. I see silver, pink, gold and orange in this particular order. 

This is a few (I think I did four) layers and it has overall cool toned silver/white shine with a light rose base. This looks like a highlighter but there are individual particles visible and I don't love that for my cheeks.

When I touch the product it is very melty and I can feel how fast it is melting but it does not feel greasy or oily, it probably is water based. After a few seconds glitter settles and it can not be moved. There is no residue on the finger and shimmer does not move. Staying power is amazing. 

I tried it on my eye lids to get some sparkle and I love it. It stayed put all day long without creasing but I did lay primer first.

I like this item for my eyelids but I don't put it straight from the tube because I don't want my primer or powder to contaminate it.

I am adoring my eye looks with this sparkler every day and I am still not tired of it :)

Dawn Rose & Dusk Rose

 Hello,

I feel like I was the most excited for these two Dinto items in my whole package but at the same time I was scared to try them out. What if I don't like them? Plumping effect could be super strong... Over the weekend I pulled them out and reapply as many times as possible just to get the feel for them and results are in.

They are Dinto Prelude La Belle Rose Plumping Lip Tints in Dawn Rose and Dusk Rose. There is light coolness after a few minutes, it is not strong and I can easily tolerate it.

I like the frosted clear packaging which lets me see how much I have left and each holds 5 g of product.

Applicators aren't anything special but are precise. They have lovely dried rose scent which I like a lot and it makes them stand out.

When applied they have semi glow after a minute they get glossier but never gain that full mirror like shine and after one hour and a half they lose it altogether.

First is fresh swatch of Dawn Rose which is soft red with some rosy tones in it and when it dries it gets deeper and less bright.

Dusk Rose is at first warm light nude but when it dries it goes deeper and more in the neutral/cool brown territory.

Both stains are much darker on my lips (keep in mind that I have naturally red lips), they apply a bit transparent and I was surprised at how dark they got because the formula first starts so sheer.

Both shades have that Autumnal look to them, dark and moody but not overly warm. I like them a lot, packaging is nice, I like the scent and shades (fresh and stain), the only "complaint" is about the shine or lack off. I would prefer if they would be glossier and maybe if they would stain lighter but could be build up. Just to have more versatility. All in all I really like them and I hope they will come out with more shades, even some lighter ones :)

My lips felt hydrated after whole day of wearing these two, there were no lip balms involved and I love that.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Valse

 Hello,

I am still super excited for all the Dinto products and for this one I had high hopes.

Mirror like packaging belongs to the Dinto Overload Lip Glaze Cendrillon Collection tinted lip balm in the shade Valse.

It has a twist mechanism which does not go back so twisting only as much as I need and this is plenty for one application since it is pigmented.

It has no scent :(

Shade is beautifully coral, not too bright but just enough to brighten my face for an everyday look. I especially love it with a mute, barely there eye look and just this on my lips. It provides plenty of shine but I have to be careful because the formula is very soft and it can apply too thick. I just dab it with my finger if that happens so it is not too big of un issue.

There is one negative though. It has burning sensation, it is not cool but it feels spicy and it is on the strong side. I don't love these effect so after feeling it immediately made me realise that we will not be big friends.

I like the look of it but burning sensation can be a bit much sometimes. It lasts for about thirty minutes which is a lot and after that shine starts to fade and it is on my lips for about 45 min, color remains but it is easily to remove while drinking or eating. I also noticed that after three applications my lips got dry and flaky. For me this is not a good formula.

Mochi Pink, Farewell Guava and Giggle Strawberry

 Hello,

today I am mixing two different formulas but often I do wear one of these glosses on top of the tint...

They are Colorgram lippies. From bottom up are Fruity Glass Tint in Mochi Pink (to be worn with their Mochi Dory eye shadow palette perhaps :) and two Fruity Glass Glosses in Farewell Guava and Giggle Strawberry.

Tints are in non see through packaging while glosses are in sheer packaging so it is easy to track progress.

They all have the same applicator and scent which is fruity, grape scent. I really like that and more brands could do the same in my opinion.

Mochi Pink is swatched twice, first as a fresh tint and bottom is wiped off so the stain remains. At first it looks glossy but after around 30 min the shine starts fading and it looks more like a balm shine but the stain lasts for hours. My personal preference are glossy lip tints and I like to put one of the glosses over it to get that high shine.

Farewell Guava is surprisingly more pigmented than the bright bottle next to it but even then it is on the sheer side of the spectrum.

Last, Giggle Strawberry has a sheer wash of red tint which is barely noticeable on the lips, I still prefer it over the 'boring' clear glosses ;) Glosses also have grape scent but also the minty coolness to them, it lasts for about twenty minutes and it isn't too intense. Shine starts fading after the one hour mark.

I like how even the tint looks on my lips but would love if it would be glossiest, glosses are shiny and I just wish they would not be cooling. All in all I like all three, longevity and colors are lovely and I still love the packaging :)

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Even Rosy tint

 Hello,

I am not a big fan of matte lips on myself but every once in a while I like to try some to see if I am still standing by the same opinion. These had a good reviews and I decided to try one shade.

It is Peripera Over Blur Tint in the shade Even Rosy. It holds 3,5 ml of product which isn't much but the packaging is really nice. It feels somewhat soft, like it has some suede layer over it but it is just plastic. I don't know how they did it but it is nice.

I like to start with little product and build it up so the amount which is shown on the applicator is way too much but I like that the formula is buildable and it allows reapplying.

Scent is light and it reminds me of floral vanilla.

If I apply it over dry lips it emphasises the dryness but after time my lips got better and I am convinced that this blur tint moisturised them (I was using it over the weekend while at home and did not use any other lip product). If I exfoliate and hydrate my lips prior then I have no issues but I have to apply this product on bare lips, if there is any product then it does not adhere.

Shade is soft rosy, it is a bit paler than my lips but my naturally reddish lips work as a liner or I apply my brown brow pencil as a liner and it works beautifully. I am surprised at how much I love this paler shade on my lips.

Not just the shade, formula and longevity are amazing as well. On the lips there is slight slippery feel when I press them together and I like that. It is not heavy or sticky, it can leave a little trace behind on the glass but on the lips it is not visible gap. I can drink easily and it won't come off but after a meal I have to reapply.

Maybe this matte lip product really changed my perspective, since I love wearing it, now I would like to see if they have some kind of nude shade...
