Rose Stream

 Hello,

one of my first Rom&nd lippies was this one. There was a very limited selection of what was available and I picked something off red but still shiny.

It is Rom&nd Glasting Water Tint in the shade Rose Stream. I think this whole collection consists of mostly red shades with different undertones.

I also love how they put the name of the shade on the packaging, it is big and noticeable, hard to miss :)

Applicator is pretty standard and carries enough of product for me. Scent and taste is fruity sweet, it makes me want to lick it off my lips :)

Shade is orange toned red, a bit different than expected but I like that it can be sheered out or packed on. 

I prefer the sheer wash but the stain is deep and more red than orange.

Because I don't pack it on like I did on these photos the shine is also on the more modest side. Glow lasts for about one hour and then it starts settling for a more lip balm glow until it dries and matte stain remains. It is even and not so very easy to remove.

I don't wear such bold shades as often as I used to but this one is a good one. I love the glow and staining, shade is off red and I think it suits me a lot. 

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

New package no. 2

 Hello,

I have some more goodies from my last purchase. This was made from new to me store and they have so many items I have not tried... I know I don't need to try them all but the urge is strong.

First is a mini Flortte Twin Butterfly Series Lip serum in the shade B00 Shattered Sheer Gray. I was inspired by the mini Alternative Stereo gloss with a sheer black base, I hoped that this one would give me similar effect.

Next is Laka mini Fruity Glam Tint in the highly anticipated shade named Peaches. I liked it for a while and decided to pick first just a mini to test it out. I already have deep brown shade which is nice but a bit deep. This one is brighter and lighter, I am excited.

Nude stick is Oulac Cream Shadow Stick. I picked the shade Hollywood Dream since it looked like a pretty cool toned sparkly shade. There was very little photos online so this purchase was mostly blind.

Big pink pillow is Cheeryep Pillow Gem Highlighting Powder in Drinking Galaxy and under is black one which is Pillow Gem Eye Shadow Palette in Chill Monlight. Packaging is bulky but the product inside is gorgeous. My highlighter is slightly cracked in one corner but I don't mind, most of it is still intact.

I picked another Rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tint from their Spring Fever edition and I picked Mellow Pear. It looked light and pretty nude. Out of all the red shades that I picked I wanted something that I would wear everyday. 

In the middle there is Flortte Sea Pearl Series Lipstick and I decided to get only one shade and I chose Pink Crystal. Pretty pink with shimmers, it was supposed to be glossy and shimmery. Upon opening it looks more peachy than pink... it looks nice but not quite what I was expecting.

Last two items are Etude Look at My Eyes My Own Gemstone collection. There were plenty of shades to choose but since they are shimmery some of them looked similar to one another so i did not want to pick too many but my love for sparkles took over and I picked two, Pink Crystal and Peace of Amethyst. They look like different types of shimmer so I am glad with my pick.

Daisy Jelly & Pink Jelly

 Hello,

I wanted these ever since they came out. I am a big fan of this line of tinted lip balms and two new shades made my heart skip a beat.

They are Rom&nd Glasting Melting Balms in Daisy Jelly (grey) and Pink Jelly (pink tube). Packaging is adorable and the balms itself are gorgegous. 

Upon opening them I immediately noticed strong fruity scent, I compared it to my 'regular' ones and here it is more pronounced.

Kitten is adorable and here is one cool toned eye shadow palette from the collection which is also holding my interest but it is still so expensive that I have not buy it, maybe I never will. I will see how the price will fluctuate.

Upon opening them they have floral design through them. So cute and since they are on the sheer side using them does not remove the design, it is not as sharp but it is still clearly visible.

Daisy Jelly comes off as sheer red, it adds a touch of brightness but otherwise it looks pretty natural on me. I had to layer six layers to get this 'opacity'.

Pink Jelly is very cool toned and bright pink shade, it is more pigmented since this swatch was achieved using only four layers.

They have shine but aren't as glossy as the original shades, plus the scent is stronger. They look pretty on the lips but aren't on par with the other ones. This formula is different and if I would try them first I would not fell in love with them.

I know I will use them up but I will not repurchase them, formula just isn't that good. After wearing them all day long my lips were dry and little flakes were accentuated. Cute packaging but the formula is slacking.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Nutty Vague, Rose Finch, Dim Mauve and Cream Shell

 Hello,

I am back with some more of Rom&nd glosses but one of them has slightly different formula. It feel like an imposter :)

They are Rom&nd Glasting Color Gloss in Nutty Vague, Rose Finch, Dim Mauve and Cream Shell. I placed them in number order. I thought that I had nearly all of them but Rom&nd released even more pale shades (inspiration came from Cream Shell) and more shimmery shades (which I think is a great move).

Applicator is pretty standard and this is a photo of Cream Shell, formula on this one is a bit thicker and more pigmented than on the rest.

Here they are in order, applied with just one swipe.

Nutty Vague is warmer toned nude but on my already red lips it just tones them down and made them look a bit peachy.

Second is Rose Finch and this one is a bit more vivid compared to the rest, quite red but still can be sheered out and it looks natural one. It compliments my natural lip color and makes my lips look a bit more even.

Next is Dim Mauve and I expected something a bit more mauve but due to its sheerness color does not stand out, it gives me similar effect than the first shade minus the warmth.

Lastly there is Cream Shell. This one is very pale nudy-pink and it is way more pigmented, it can be a bit sheered out but not as much as the rest. This one is also a bit too pale for me and it seeps into my fine lines, after a few minutes it is okay (I just apply it while I am still doing my make up and by the time I am done it looks fine) and it is wearable but my lips aren't red anymore but quite pale. It is definitely a look but not something I would wear every day.

I feel like first three shades are my favorite while Cream Shell is a bit pale for me, I think I can still wear it since it changes my make-up tremendously and sometimes I need my look to be different than any other day. 

I feel like Nutty Vague and Dim Mauve would be used up first just because they are sheer, Rose Finch has brighter color payoff and it fill take more time (I can't apply two or three layers since it is so red) and lastly Cream Shell would be used up last, since I don't use a lot of product when I do wear it and even then I feel like wearing it for the day and after that I would reach for a shade that looks more like 'me' :)

Now I am curious how other shades look which were recently released and were inspired by Cream Shell. They have two pinky red shades and one cool toned one which peak my interest.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Lychee Chip & Ginger Night

 Hello,

lately I have been running back and forth between these two Rom&nd blushes. I picked them out at the same time and it is so hard to choose one for the day, sometimes I also layer them since that works the best for me :)

They are Rom&nd blushes from different releases. Pink one is Better Than Cheek Mutural Nude Series in Lychee Chip and peachy nude is from Inapsquare Better Than Cheek edition in Ginger Night.

Lychee Chip has dark writing over it (after I used it twice it was completely removed and it did not change the overall shade) while Ginger Night is plain in the pan. It is a bit darker and muted as I expected a bit brighter peach shade, it is still beautiful just a tiny bit unexpected.

One important difference is also in the finish, Lychee Chip has fine shimmer while Ginger Night is matte with soft blurring finish. This one shows a bit more on my face since it is a little paler and there is more grip over foundation. 

Lychee Chip is easier to spot on my swatches but on my cheeks I have to layer it a lot to show up. I thought this one was more pigmented but applied with a brush the effect is more sheer and barely there.

These two are nice but sheer, Ginger Night is easier to use (it is more pigmented) and more of a nude peach, not super bright as I hoped but still nice, almost as a light bronzer but I would prefer that it would have some glow.

Lychee Chip has nicer finish in my opinion but it is so sheer that I have to layer it at least three times to show a little on my cheeks. I would like it a bit better if they would add a little more pigment.

Out of the two I prefer Ginger Night and I can see myself wearing it in the future, Lychee Chip will probably stay in the drawl for a while but when I will started to working on it with the intent to finish it it will be used up quickly due to its sheerness. 

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Bunny Hop

 Hello,

this one was so high on my wish list but when I purchased it I was almost scared to use it. I was afraid to be disappointed and then I rather just skip it. I am glad that I finally picked it up since it is very nice lippie.

It is Rom&nd Sheer Tinted Stick in Bunny Hop. This stick is long and holds 2g of product. I was debating between this one and the mauve one.

Packaging is beautiful, I really like the gradient effect and the top is somewhat different. It is not smooth but like a broken granite, uneven with their logo. I noticed that I constantly touch this part. It is perfect to rest my finger in there :)

Shade is medium pink without any shimmers, shade is nice but it does not look extra glossy...

On the skin the story is different. It is sheer but it can be build up. Shade is medium pink, not warm and also not cool. Very beautiful and it looks natural if I go slightly over my lip line, shine is nice, it could be glossier but after around thirty minutes it fades and only the pigment remains. It is not a stain, it still prints on my coffee mug but it is even and it wears off evenly.

I love the packaging, shade and the shine, I only wish the gloss would last a bit longer. Remaining pigment on the lips is beautiful, even and last long even if I drink. I would get more shades form this line, especially the mauve one.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Guava lips

 Hello,

I am back with a familiar product in some new, fresh shades with two different finishes.

They are Rom&nd Glasting Color Glosses in Guava Cream and mini is Guava Sparkle. 

Applicators are almost the same size, not much difference and I like that they were somehow able to keep the size since I find it very fitting for my lips, I usually don't need to reapply.

Shades are almost the same, rosy red but cream version is a bit more sheer and the sparkling one not only has more pigment, there is also tiny silver shimmer which does not distracts but adds to the glow.

Cream option has slight fruity scent while sparkling one has none but it tingles, thankfully the sensation disappears fast.

These are lovely, very similar shades to my lips and look very natural on me. I really like this formula as they are very glossy.

I know I say that for all of Rom&nd shades but these two are great and possibly my favorite. I just wish the mini would not have the tingle but I love the shimmer.

I found out that they now have separate shimmery line and I am excited for it but they did not included Guava Sparkle... :(

I think that is a missed opportunity but maybe this shade did not get great reviews or maybe they will add it later, hope remains.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Dry Buckwheat Flower

 Hello,

this little palette intrigued me for months, I live for cool toned neutrals and I hoped that this one will be the next best thing after sliced bread...

It is Rom&nd Better Than Eyes eye shadow quad in Dry Buckwheat Flower. In the description it said that it is cool toned and that was the reason I purchased it. On some swatches it looks cool and on some brown and sparkly shade looked warm toned... I decided to take a risk.

After seeing it in person I still think it leans warm, first shade is of a very surprising tone rest of them are kind of expected.

First is ivory but cool toned shade, like if they added a drop of grey in it. very unusual, on my arm it is barely visible but on my eyes it is slightly deeper and cooler than my skin tone and I love putting it all over the lid as a light base and then just let it be or I can layer something else on top. This one is my favorite.

Second is medium brown with undertone leaning warm, not particularly orange but still warm. It is nice for deepening outer corners but I wish they would replace it with something true cool toned.

Third shade is the only shimmery and this one to leans warm, it is golden but not yellow. I like it full on like on the swatch but I love it when I just dab it on the lid and it looks like scattered glitter, very nice accent color.

Last is deeper brown with some warmth in it as well, for me this one is only liner but it is nice because it is dark enough to line and accentuate but still warm enough to differentiate from my usual black/grey.

This palette is a nice all rounder for me, first shade is my favorite followed closely with the third shimmery shade. As a whole all shades work well together, all of these swatches were made with only one swipe so that speaks of pigment and longevity is insane. Even when I wore them in the extreme heart they did not crease.

This little palette set the bar really high, pigmentation and longevity wise. I love reaching for it and I enjoy using it.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Big purchase no. 5

 Hello,

here is another part of my big purchase and what is jet to come. I think I am the most excited for lippies. 

I can't wait to try all Rom&nd new shades of Glasting Color Glosses in Nutty Vague, Cream Shell, Rose Finch and Dim Mauve. I already have three shades and I love them all, I will see if among these there is my new favorite shade.

Relatively big palettes are JudyDoll Pink Dew-Shine 6 color palettes in Pink Coral and Peach Soda. Shadows in two larger pans could be used on the face as well and there is also one super glittery shade for accentuating. Shades look pale but still very promising.

Little black tube is Lancôme Hypnose mascara. I already had one and I really liked it, I know how expensive these are so when I saw one for cheap I purchased it even if it is a little one. It still lasted me a long time the last time I had it.

Last but not least is Amuse Jel Fit tint is Boksoonga Jelly. I was super curious about it and there were a few shades I was interested in and because I already picked up so many items I decided to get only one, to try out. if I end up liking it I can always get more. 

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Big purchase no. 4

 Hello,

I have some more interesting product, some are from already tried formulas that I know I love and some are new to me and I am even more excited to try them out.

Teddy was a gift with purchase after I bought Dasique Fruity Lip Jam in Jujube Jam balm. Bear is actually a brush meant to apply balm, how cute :) Balm looks super glossy on the lips and I am curious to see if that will be true for me as well and how long lasting the product is.

Next are two Rom&nd Glasting melting Balm in Sorbet Balm and Buffy Coral. I tried one before and formula felt right for me so I purchased more. These two looked like shades I would like and wear daily, hopefully they will look good also on my skin tone. 

My love for Peripera has no bounds and I purchased another Ink Glasting Lip Gloss from their Soft Berry Edition in the shade All that Berry. These have amazing scents, shine and longevity is also very good.

Lastly there are three FlowerKnow cupcakes from The Sweetie Bear Coating line. Lippies are Lip Jellys in Peach Tea, Ribbon Pink and Croissant options. I wanted to try one from each color way to get some variety. Previous lip products from FlowerKnows all had grape scent and I will see if they choose to keep the scent, I kind of hope that they will be grapey since it is one of my favorite scents in lip products.

Big purchase no. 3

 Hello,

I am back with another pink selection of new make-up.

Let's start on top with JudyDoll Undereye Shadow Palette in Lively Pink. There are four shades with included brush for a quick and on the go make-up. Shades looked like something I would like and I thought my collection could benefit from some light shades in different tones. If I will like it I might pick the peach tone as well.

Three lippies are Colorgram. Clear tubes are  Fruity Glass glosses in Farewell Guava and Giggle Strawberry and middle one is Fruity Glass Tint in Mochi Pink. All tubes are the same size and hold 3g of product.  Giggle Strawberry looks a bit bright... hopefully is sheer.

Two pretty blushes are Canmake Glow cheeks blushes in Ballerina Pink and Momo Whiped Fleur. Floral design is so pretty but I know that in order to enjoy them I will have to ruin the design. So far I really liked blushes from them so I have high hopes.

Last pink item is Rom&nd Sheer tinted stick in Bunny Hop. There was also a deeper mauve shade that I liked but at the end I picked this one because of the cute name ;) hopefully I will also like the formula :)

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Joy Berry

 Hello,

I have a limited edition lip gloss and while the packaging is adorable the fact that this is a limited shade makes me nervous.

I recently purchased this limited edition Zoe & Friends Rom&nd glasting color gloss in Joy Berry. Box is cute with the annoyed cat and I just wanted to snap a photo of it.

Packaging is not see through but light grey all over and I love the color plus the kitty at the bottom is super cute.

It holds 4 ml of product and has only a slight fruity scent. It could be stronger, I would not mind it.

Applicator is standard and at first it looks brighter than on the swatch. There is no shimmers but it looks extra glossy.

Shade is light berry and it pulls a bit pink. I think it accentuates my naturally red pigment in my lips and turns it a bit more pink but keeps it lively with brightness without calling it a red lip.

This formula is light enough but still not super liquid so if applied a bit more (to get that juicy look) it does not drip down my chin.

I really like the formula and since I already have two shades (Peony Ballet and Grapy Way) I am familiar with the formula. Under the line I have to admit that Joy Berry is my favorite shade out of the three I have :)

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Litchi Coral & Pink Pumpkin

 Hello,

I wanted to try out this highly praised line of lip tints and because I could not pick just one I choose two shades.

They are Rom&nd Juicy Lasting tint in Litchi Coral and Pink Pumpkin. I did not expect these two to be so similar, they have different undertones though.

Applicator is longer and they carry a lot of product, I need to wipe a bit off since lighter layers work better for me. Once one layer sits for a minute I can go over with the second and it will not lift the base layer otherwise it removes it (if I apply one thick coat or follow with a second layer too soon).

Scent is fruity, nothing specific just fruity and even that scent isn't strong and quickly disappears.

First swatch is fresh and second is remaining stain of Litchi Coral. It is red with coral tone but leaning towards cool tone, especially compared to the second shade. It is very bright and vibrant, fresh swatch and stain are both very vivid.

Third and fourth are Pink Pumpkin. Not much of pink but rather an orange red, kind of tomato soup red shade, also very vivid and bright on the fresh and dried swatch.

I expected these two to look more sheer but I guess a lot of people swatch them lightly and I pretty much always end up with too much. I need to learn how to apply little and blend it with my fingers because wands carry a lot of product.

They aren't super glossy and shine fades quickly but stain is long lasting. On my top lip these two again do  that weirdness when my upper lip line is tinted and the remaining of my upper lip stays the same. It is not super intense but with red shades it is still noticeable. I figured that this formula just isn't for me. 

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

New package no.3

 Hello,

this is the last post of this package, I saved cutest ones for last. These even made me watch some cartoons to get familiar with characters (maybe I even purchased t-shirt with Cinnamoroll :).

Fwee makes these lovely 3D voluming lip glosses and when I saw some new shades I was intrigued. I finally purchased 70% Yogurt (I wanted this shade ever since it came out but it is often sold out) sadly they don't make the sheer version of it... I think it would be lovely. Mini is 70% Rose Hip, peachy duo is 70% Vanilla and mini is 70% Peach Oolong. Minis here are only available in mini formats, I hope they will ever make them in regular size.

Cuties in the middle in green are Etude What's in my eyes, pink version is Twinkle Glitter and white one is Honey Honey. These are limited edition ones and since I at the moment love shimmery eye shades, these two looked and and the price was dirty cheap.  

Next is cute Pompompurin Bbia Over Glaze Strawberry Plop shade. This one looked so lovely online that I would get it regardless from the puppy.

Bottom two tubes are from a familiar formula but different shades. They are Etude Sugar Coloring Jelly balms. Big one is Peach Twist and little one is Crystal Candy. I have Bare Pink (cool toned one) and I actually did not like it... I feel like  I am the only one so I decided to give it another try and get some other shades and these two came in a set...it was a no brainer. 

Next I fell for Rom&nd Glasting Color glosses, and in particular the mini one Guava Sparkle. This one caught my eye and I would prefer if they would swap shades and sizes because I would love to get more of the shimmery shade. Big one however is Guava Cream. There was also Peony Ballet duo and I would love a sparkly version of it but it was sold out, otherwise I would get both sets.

In the package is Coralhaze Perfect Dew & Fix duo. It includes Dew Drop tint in Mellow and mini lip pencil without any name. I tried to find more about lip pencil it but I can't, it seems like Coralhaze don't even make or sell lip pencils. I kind of hope I won't like it :)

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

New package no.1

Hello,

my next order arrived and there are mostly super exciting items included :)

 Top is Colorgram fruity glass tint Peach Bana. I love this pinky peach base with shimmers and I can't wait to try it out. The name also fits me to a T. It also came with a clicker (I use it to annoy my boyfriend ;), I know he secretly loves it :)

I picked two Amuse sets. One is pink shade is White Boksoonga gloss and another is peachy Honey Boksoonga with two mini Jel-fit tints. I hear awesome things about Amuse so I wanted to try it out myself. If I understand minis are tints layered first and to prolong the shine I should add gloss on top, I can't wait to try them out.

Lastly there are three limited edition Zoe & Friends Rom&nd items. First two are Glasting melting balms one in Pink Jelly (the outer color is gray and there is something so excited to try it on the lips) and Daisy Jelly. I already tried this formula and it is gorgeous, I feel like these two will not be last. Lastly there is Glasting color gloss in Joy Berry (here only the packaging is gray and the gloss inside is in such a lively shade. Again, this formula is already something I have tried and I know I will like it a lot.

Out of all these I really don't know which one to try out first, I think i will gamble to determine which one will be first in order ;)

Peach Peach me

 Hello,

I got my hands on this shade that I immediately wanted after I set my eyes on it. It looked like a perfect Spring, early Summer shade. Brightening my face with a touch of color.

Here it is, Rom&nd The Juicy Lasting Tint in the gorgeous shade Peach Peach me. I wanted this shade for the longest, bright tone really stuck in my brains and I am super excited to finally have it.

I love how bright this shade looks and it is also buildable, I can wear it in the sheer way, reapplying it makes it darker and brighter.

Here is the difference, first swatch is just applied and second is after a few minutes when the gloss comes out. It applies shiny but not super glossy, after a little it develops this mirror like shine and the shade doesn't get significantly darker.

The second swatch is removed only to reveal light stain, not only it is light but also easily removed so whenever I do not want to deepen the color I can remove it completely and then apply fresh layer.

I expected some scent but there is nothing I can detect, the shade is gorgeous though :) I love the glossiness and longevity, it lasts well over one hour and then I can reapply or layer a sheer lip balm over it.  When I was wearing it all day long it did not dry my lips out and I find it hydrating. This shade is one of my favorites and it will be hard to put it down to try some other items.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day
