thank you again Cosnova team

Hello,

jet again Cosnova team managed to sweep me off my feet. They asked me if I would like to try some of their new products and since I liked the new collections I agreed. I thought I will get two or three items, they send me whole bag of goodies.

It is not hard to miss the two golden products from the Catrice soleil d'ete collection. The main theme is gold and everything evolves around enhancing that Summer tan (I don't have it jet). I received the beautiful Metal Muse five pan eye shadow palette (neutrals with a pop of peach and soft pink). The lipstick doesn't have a sticker with the name on it so I'm just guessing for now which shade I got, I believe it is Nude Metal Mood. It looks like a liquid metal with tons of subtle shimmer, I'm getting a very strong 90' vibe from it (frosty and always shimmery brown nudes).

The most colorful and fun looking are the Essence Cubanita products. I received the cutest livin' la vida banana bag which makes me smile every time I see it. Highlighter, Mi Corazon, is indeed huge (bigger than the eye shadow palette). It has that fake sweet scent that some people like but I don't. It is only noticeable when I open it up, after I apply it on my cheeks it is gone. Pink tinted lip balm, Bienvenida a Palm Beach, looks adorable with its palm tree print and it is another one of those color changing products. I like the anticipation of waiting to see what the color will look like and I can't wait to try it on. The last item from this LE is wet look lip lacquer in the shade Kisses from Havana. It is that purple color which in theory looks amazing but I'm not so sure how it will turn on me. I will try it on and report back.

The very last item is actually my first L.O.V. item, They send me one of their new fatal muse liquid matte lipstick. Let me tell you that even the packaging looks high end (at least to me, I don't have any high end products to compare but just comparing with the rest of my 'collection' this one looks expensive). I got the shade Provocative Confidence. This is my first liquid lipsticks and I wish they would choose somethong more neutral for the first time but then again maybe I will fell in love and it will turn into one of my 'special occasion' lipsticks.

Thank you Slovenian Cosnova team for surprising me once again. My vacation is approaching and I will have more time to test all of these products and enjoy some time on the sun.





Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Catrice: Victorian Poetry, preview

Hello,

today I'm showing you another preview but this time from Catrice. Enjoy.

Simple Opulence. Magnificent decorations and detailed stucco ornaments are typical of the ornate, Victorian era. The Limited Edition "Victorian Poetry" by CATRICE awakens from November 2016 to January 2017 the desire for the splendor of the bygone era. Many fashion designers stage the luxurious elegance with slim-fitting, high collar frilly dresses new and combined to modern, slightly transparent fabrics. These collections were the inspiration for the Limited Edition, which is dominated by soft apricot, warm nude and grays, lilacs and berry tones. Plain Magnificence - by CATRICE.

Victorian Poetry by CATRICE - Beauty Purse
Royal Highness. Ideal for, on the go 'is the small purse - so are the main Beauty & Lifestyle Accessories always there. With high quality metal closure and a unique look absolutely indispensable.

Catrice spoils us jet again. The palette design looks lovely but I'm not totally sold on the shades, lipsticks looks very festive but I doubt I would wear them enough so probably I will pass them but with nail polishes the story is totally different. They did something special with the bottles but how practical will they be to store? No matter, the colors appeal to me and I just might pick all five shades. Powder liner is not something I'm interested or the bag (I have enough make-up bags) but the highlighting pebbles caught my eye. On some photos it looks quite peachy and I wonder if us fair girls could use it as a light blush, that is something I would be interested in.

So, I can't wait to see this LE in stores, what about you?

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Catrice Kaviar Gauche LE, preview

Hello,

Catrice announced new limited edition and I'm so excited about it that I decided to show you the preview and some of my highlights. Last year they already collaborated with Kaviar Gauche and I loved the whole collection so imagine my surprise when I saw they collaborated again. Last year everything was very light and pale but this time I feel they added some more colors into it and made it even more excited.

La Fleur De Nuit. Seemingly weightless lace, soft silhouettes and elegant colours provide the inspiration for the Limited Edition “Kaviar Gauche” by CATRICE. The result of the latest collaboration between CATRICE and the design duo Kaviar Gauche. The limited products, which will be available in October and November 2016, combine floral, intricate details with elegant colours like rouge noir, rosé and nude. La Perfection Mystique – by CATRICE.

Kaviar Gauche by CATRICE – Eye Shadow Palette
Golden Blossom. Three matte powder eye shadows in perfectly aligned trend colours as well as a pearly rosé shade. With an integrated mirror and a golden blossom embossment, this palette is an eye-catcher par excellence. Available in C01 Iris Sauvage.

Kaviar Gauche by CATRICE – Highlighter
Silky Reflections. With its light-reflecting pigments, the pressed, two-tone powder highlighter ensures an elegant glow. The silky texture with the shape of a blossom suits all skin tones. Available in C01 Clair De Lune.

Kaviar Gauche by CATRICE – Lip Colour
Floral Dress. Two lipsticks: pink with a shiny finish and rouge noir with a matt texture. The creamy lipstick glides onto the lips smoothly. Available in C01 Nude Sublime and C02 Fleur Du Soir

Kaviar Gauche by CATRICE – Cream Eye Shadow & Liner
Antique Pigments. Highly pigmented eyeshadow with a long lasting, creamy texture. Can be used to create accurate eyeliner styles or as an eyeshadow to set targeted highlights around the eye area. The golden shade with an antique appearance has a beautiful, metallic shimmer. Available in C01 Force D'Or.

Kaviar Gauche by CATRICE – Nail LacquerPrecious Colour. Four nail polishes in a choice of transparent pink with a golden shimmer, light taupe, rouge noir and a subtle nude tone. Available in C01 Nude Sublime, C02 Nuit Fleurie, C03 Fleur Du Soir and C04 Rose D‘Or.

Kaviar Gauche by CATRICE – Beauty Bag
Best Case. The high quality vinyl fabric and extravagant look turns this beauty bag into a true eye-catcher. It offers space for all important beauty tools and stands out thanks to beautiful details like a golden zipper.

What can I say? I can't wait to see everything in person. I really like the eye shadow palette but I hope that the colors won't be too dark. Highlighter looks nice, especially the flower but if it will be to pink than I don't think I will like it. I have plenty lipsticks but if the lighter one will not be too shimmery then maybe, the red one hase matte finish which I don't like. Cream eye shadow & liner looks too yellow and I prefer my golds to be true golds so I think this won't be mine. Nail polishes are true highlight from this collection at least for me because I like all four shades and for the end there is this shiny bag and honestly I have one make-up bag and I think it is enough.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day
