Empties

Hello,

this time there is a lot of make-up items in my empties and I always like to talk about them so lets just jump on the descriptions because this post will be long ;)

Red tube is Melvita Youthful day cream which I received in a giveaway. I thought I would give it to my mom but she didn't liked it so I used it and because I felt it was a bit heavy for me I rubbed it into my skin at night. It was nice but nothing special so I won't buy it again.

Next is my favorite under eye concealer and it is Catrice Liquid Camouflage in the 005 Light Natural. This covers my under eye area and barely crease. After I apply it I like to leave it so it sets, in the mean time I finish my make-up (it takes me maybe 15-20 minutes) and just before I leave I tap the under eye area with my fingertips and that does the trick for me. When I get home after 8h shift it looks perfect. I highly recommend it to everyone but I'm sure most of you are already hooked on.

L'oreal makes this amazing Infallible 24h matte foundation in the shade 11 Vanilla. This is my second tube already and of course I'm on my next one. I love the finish and the wear time, I just wish it would be a bit lighter but I mix in The Body Shop lightening drops to customize my right shade and it is perfect.

Next one is Essence instant matte fixing spray which is also my second used up bottle and I already have a backup. It really is good but Catrice Active Warrior fixing spray is even better but since it is a limited edition... When I will finish all of them I think I will get back to this little boy that saves my make-up.

Next is Enesti Aloe and Honey foaming face cleanser. It was given to my by my sister and while it says it is moisturizing and gentle I disagree. This stripped my skin of all oils and made it almost dry and too tight. It smelled so nice, just like honey but it burn my eyes like nothing else. No matter how careful I was it was like pouring acid in my eyes, I gave up and use it on my body just to use it up. 

I already talked about Labello Labellino Mint lip balm recently and I will just quickly recap everything. This lip balm feels hard and barely anything gets on my lips, it is like it forms a hard layer... Not moisturizing at all and the scent was just like the toothpaste mint, I will pass and toss it. I am not even tempted to try other scent or try more of their balms in stick versions because they always disappointed me but the balms in a pot are majestic. I only tried one but I'm convinced. Soon I will get myself another one.

These three glosses are from Avon Perfect Kiss line that I adore. I bought four when they came out with them and later bought five more because they are that good. First four were all used up these on the other hand are still relatively full but they went bad (I had them for years and even thought they were sealed they didn't survived). First is my favorite and a backup, it is named Mauve Kiss and it is more of a warm nude than mauve. Next is a shimmery Desirable Peach, I like the shade but I think it would look better without the shimmer. Last one packs a punch and it is Pout more Pink with the same shimmer. This type of pink looks very good one me and it makes my lips look a bit fuller, it is the tone and not the formula.

They are very glossy but not longlasting, whenever I used them I never needed to apply lip balm because they were moisturizing enough on its own and I like that. I'm so sad that I have to toss them but I started to notice the weird tingly feeling on my lips whenever I would use them so I think they went bad. I still have two more shades left and I will start using them as much as possible until they will also turn bad.

The very last item is Avon Shine Burst lipstick in the color Peach Punch. I love this formula because it is pigmented but at the same time so very glossy and I'm all about shine without the shimmer. I liked this peachy shade that looked so fresh on me but I have anther color named Rose and the shade is soft pink which I like more. I noticed that soon they will discontinue them and I think I have to get some more.

Sphere lip balms

Hello,

lip balms are my obsession and when I saw the famous EOS balms on our shelves I knew I won't be able to resist for long. Labello also jumped on the wagon and brought their version of egg sphere shaped balms and I got one as well.

So the two EOS balms were sold in a set (I don't think you can buy these scents individually and I really wanted to get the orange one). Orange one is Pumpkin Spice and the cream one is Vanilla Bean.
The light mint is Labellino and is simply named Mint.

The EOS balms are a bit hard at the beginning but after I rub them about five times I get some product on my lips. The layer feels very thin and it absorbs quickly so I have to reapply around 20 minutes after. Not ideal but they keep my lips relatively soft for a couple of hours, after that I have to incorporate another more moisturizing product to keep my lips chap free.
I bought the set because of the Pumpkin Spice scent alone, I wanted to know why people are going crazy over pumpkin spice products. I have to say that I was disappointed. To me the flavor and scent remind me of old/expired cinnamon cookies. Not a big fan but I think I will be able to use it up.
On the other had I fell in love with the Vanilla Bean scent. I expected to smell very strong and sweet of vanilla but I was wrong. To me it reads something creamy and has just a touch of vanilla, I think they have the 'regular' stick available in this scent and I just might pick it up even though I don't love the formula.

The last is Labellino from Labello in the Mint scent. The texture is even waxier and I have to rub it on my lips for longer to get any product on my lips. I even cut the dome a bit and it was better for like two uses. It makes me think that it gets a 'hard layer' and ideally I would have to scrap a layer off before every application.... This one is even less moisturizing than the EOS ones, I would say that it did nothing for my lips, it is  just a cute sphere and if the scent would convince me then maybe it would be worth it. In general I love mint lip products so I thought that I will love this one too but this mint is very toothpaste-y. I have never have a lip product in a mint flavor that would give me the toothpaste vibes, it is very strange.

As cool as they look unfortunately they don't pack a punch, my lips weren't happy when I was testing them out. I will keep the EOS ones and use them here or there but the Labellino is going into the trash.

Black Friday Madness

Hello,

Black Friday is already behind us, did you indulge yourself? I know I did. I really needed new boots which I bought with a whooping discount but there was also a drugstore next to it and naturally I went in and didn't walk out empty handed. I actually bought more stuff but some of them are 'boring' necessities or gifts for the upcoming holidays.

I wanted to try the famous EOS sphere balms for so long that I decided to finally snatch them on sale. I wanted to see what is this whole craze over the Pumpkin Space flavour and since it was only available in a set with the Vanilla Bean I picked up the set (I still haven't decided if the Pumpkin Spice scent is okay or I hate it, I will report back after I actually try it).

Labello came out with their version as well and they call them Labellino and since I'm a mint fan I picked the Mint scented one.

In the corner there are my new Real Techniques 2 miracle complexion sponges. The one I'm using right now from Bell cosmetics is great but getting old so I will soon need to replace it and everyone seems to love these orange ones so I hope they will live up to the hype for me as well.

I had my eyes locked on this Essence mosaic compact powder in Sunkissed Beauty for way too long. I'm a sucker for anything multitoned and this bronzer looked light enough for my pale complexion.

The L'occitane Terre de Lumiere radiant balm was an impulse purchase. I went in to only buy some gifts for my loved ones, I didn't want to buy anything for myself but I started talking with the sales lady about the already discontinued Acacia line. She offered me this hand cream to sniff saying that it has similar notes but to her it smells even better. I'm tempted to go back and buy the perfume...(for myself) needles to say that the scent is gorgeous ;).

The last items are new, revamped Catrice Art Couleurs single eye shadows. They feel buttery soft to the touch and I picked four shades, not that I need more. The darkest, bronzey shade is called Mademoiselle Chic, next to it on the top is Like and Subscribe, grey with pink reflex. I think my favorite is softer, bronze shade named Chocolate Cake by the Ocean and the last one at the bottom is the highlighting shade called Metallic Lights.

I'm planing to make individual posts with all of these products after I try them sometimes in the near future.
