Shopping

Hello,

I did some shopping because I really needed some of the items but others jumped in my basket without me realizing ;)

First tube belong to the Essence LE Little Beauty Angels and it is the wake-up effect face primer (they also have the green and the purple one). I haven't find any reviews online but I still wanted to try it because I'm on a hunt for a pore filling, mattifying primer and this one claims to do just that but also brighten the skin at the same step.

Second is Deborah face perfect primer for mattifying t-zone, has anti-shine formula and it is supposed to smooth and even the complexion. From the tube I can see the slightly thicker, silicone based formula and it immediately draw my attention.

Third bottle is Ebelin nail polish remover and since I am already halfway done with the one I'm using right now so I picked anther one just so I won't be left without.

I don't need any new lipsticks but I really like the Essence Sheer & Shine line, I already have two shades and I talked about them here. This time I decided to get more of a rosy color and it is called BFF. I will take some photos and show it on the blog sometimes next week.

First pot is my favorite setting powder and it is Essence all about matt translucent powder. I'm almost done with my old one and before I use it up completely I bought myself a backup. They came out with the waterproof version of it and I wanted to pick it up but it was sold out in my drugstore but I will keep my eyes open because I want to try it before the Summer heat hit us.

The last item is Catrice Sun Glow mineral bronzing powder which always looks so good on photos and a lot of people raves about it, so naturally it was on my wishlist. I had some coupons for it and finally I pick it up. I have to say that in person it looks a bit orange-y and I hope it will look more neutral on my skin but I will have to wear it a couple of times to see the true color.


That is it for now. I haven't been shopping in a long time, yes I bought some Avon but other than that I really haven't. To test all that and 'new' Avon products under Mark name will take me some time and till then I will try not to bring anything new in.

Rosa Pesca

Hello,

I decided to break down my series of Cosnova previews and new products in my stash by showing you one of my blushes up close but my next post will most probably be another haul.

On of my most recent blushes is Deborah hi-tech blush in the shade Rosa Pesca. I purchased another shade and if you missed that post you can find it here.

This shade is very pigmented (swatch above was made with only one swipe without any primer) and as a very pale person I can say it is a bit hard to use. I have to be super careful and make sure that the brush touches the product ever so slightly, it is better to build up the color because you can't really take it off. On busy mornings I definitely don't have that extra minute to blend this blush out, so I use something else but if I have the time this color looks very nice and I would say even flattering on my complexion, so it is worth keeping it around.

Again, this shade also isn't matte. It has some tiny silver shimmer but on the cheeks it comes of more as a glow than shimmering madness (Victorian Rose is a lot crazier in terms of reflecting specks). I like that because matte can sometimes be so dull, right?

This is not my personal favorite but I like it enough to keep it in my stash because I know I will get some use out of it.

Victorian Rose

Hello,

finally the weather has started to cool down and all of a sudden I feel like wearing more pink toned blushes opposed to peach. I wonder how long that faze will last but it is all good because I decided to wear one particular blush to test it out and I can already reveal that I ended up really liking it.

It is Deborah hi-tech marbled blush in the shade Victorian Rose. There were four different shades available and after swatching them all they all came off shimmery so if you're a fan of matte cheeks than they won't be right for you.

On the skin it comes off as a very light warm rose shade with lots of silver sparkle so there is no need for adding highlighter. I'm very cautious when it comes to pink cheeks because I don't think I can pull it off and I simply don't like it but this shade is subtle enough. I love that it is buildable, one soft layer gives you just a little shimmer (sometimes I use it on top of a different blush to add some glow) or two layers to get this nice flushed colored cheeks. 

I understand that not everyone likes shimmer but I am very fond of it. This Victorian Rose blush become one of my favorites very quickly and I don't see myself stop using it anytime soon.

Call me obsessed

Hello,

somebody just shoot me, please. I said to myself that I have way too many cheek products and that I really shouldn't buy more till the end of this year but I casually went into Tuš drugstore, to see if there is anything new. Who knew that Deborah blushes were 50% off and that I will find a super popular limited edition bronzer from Essence?

I picked up two Deborah hi-tech blushes, first is one of their 'originals'  46 Rosa Pesca and the second one also belongs to the same line but is marbled (there were 4 shades in total, two peachy and two pinky shades), I got number 04 Victorian Rose.
A total surprise was this beauty from Essence lights of Orient bronzer, mine is darker 02 Oriental beauty, they also had the lighter one but it was damaged (maybe someone already swatched it or it fell on the ground). If it would be whole I would probably get both of them ;)

Now my plan is to wear something different on my cheeks everyday to finally try everything I bought in the past few months.
