Apricot and Marula

 Hello,

for today I have a lip balm in a really nice packaging. Bottom is cork material (very cool) and top is plastic. Top color differs from balm to balm. They are trying to match it to the top ingredient.

I have Kneipp Apricot and Marula lip balm. It has a slight apricot scent but nothing too strong. 

The balm itself is yellow but there is no color on the lips left. Formula is a bit thick and leaves a matte look on the lips. I prefer softer balms which are glossy.

I used it on my bare lips almost all day long and my lips became a little dry, I tried it on already chapped lips and it only glued the already sticking out pieces but not healed them. So it is okay to be used for half a day and then I need to upgrade to something more nourishing.

Sheer lip oil

 Hello,

I had this little lip oil for at least one year and only now I remembered and I tried it out.

It is NYX lip oil in the shade Sheer (I don't think there are other options available). The pink packaging looks a bit more metallic in person and I thought that there will be some pink tint (I could not find any swatches online).

It has a regular doe foot applicator and the oil has some candy like berry scent, I like it but it is light and has no taste.

It holds a whopping 8 ml of product. Tube doesn't look large but I guess there are thin walls and it carries a really nice amount of product.

It is completely clear, at first it feels like a cushion like oil but after a few minutes it thins out and starts disappearing (around 30 min later is gone). It adds shine to my lips but when I was wearing it all day long it didn't nourish them enough.

I like the scent, a decent amount of product that comes inside the tube and nice amount of shine. I wish it would be thicker and more nourishing.

Black Tea

 Hello,

I purchased this little quad online and I wasn't sure exactly how the shades will turn out. I was expecting more neutral palette in tones but it is pretty warm.

It is Judydoll 4 shades palette in Black Tea. It looked cute and it captured my attention.

Here, on the photo above I accidentally turned the palette aside and now it doesn't match with the swatches below (first photo and third, with the swatches are aligned).

This very warm brown shade scared me the most but it brings the blue from my eyes out the most.

Here the swatches are in order, first pale shade with the little flower and then clockwise.

The lightest shade is packed with shimmer and buttery yellow (I wish it would be a bit less warm).

Next is warm foxy orange, very warm and intimidating but I can blend it out and I can work with it, I also like to use shade like this on my cheeks as long as the edges are blended.

Third shade is the scariest for me since it is deep and super warm to top it off but used as a liner along the lash line it makes my eyes appear more blue and I like that, not as bad as I was scared.

Last is loose glitter with another buttery base but this base doesn't really translate on the skin so it just sparkles under the lights. I like it since it can be very subtle and nice to wear even at work in the office but it feels dry the more I use it. My finger ,the more I dig into the palette, picks less and less product. I wonder what that is, it performs like it got some hard pan. I have never had that issue.

I wanted to love this palette and after I saw it in person my expectations dropped since it is packed with too many warm tones. After giving it a shot, I actually like it but I am still not sure if I will keep it. I don't know if I will want to wear it all the time since I have some other palettes that I prefer.

White Russian and Dolly

Hello,

Buxom lip products were very popular a few years ago but now I barely hear anyone talk about them, maybe I just changed my sources... 

When I got a chance to get something from them I did. I picked these Buxom full on plumping lip oils in White Russian and Dolly.

I don't know why Dolly looks swirled, when I move the applicator inside it just creates more of these lines. I hope that doesn't mean that it is old and it started to separate.

Applicators are chubby and carry decent amount of product on them. 

The scent is sweet, like sugar but at the same time a bit minty. It is not tingly or cooling and I like that. Texture is thin but not too liquid to run down my lip lines, because of that longevity isn't the best. Thankfully the vanilla-mint scent whenever I reapply is making me happy.

Both shades are very sheer and on the lips they look practically the same.

I like the scent, shades looks pretty even though they are sheer on the lips and big applicator is nice to apply the product. My only negatives are thin texture, poor longevity and not much of moisturising properties.

They are nice to use but on the long run they won't hydrate my lips. I will use them but probably I will not be buying more.

Pink Muhly

 Hello,

I have been eying this long lasting sparkling tint for a few months. I thought that it is something special and different from the rest on the market.

Here I have Unleashia non-sticky dazzle tint in Pink Muhly. I had to wait for it to get back in stock, I have a feeling that this one is one of the most popular shades since it got sold out in multiple stores and would take the longest to come back.

This tint has the 'normal' applicator and it applies the product very well. Shimmers are visible but very small.

Shade isn't really pink in my opinion but rather coral, bright and happy looking.

It is very glossy from the formula itself, shimmers just adds that extra. On the lips it looks like a lip gloss (very shiny) but I thought that it would stay glossy for a bit longer. 

Stain below looks a bit pale but it makes my lips darker.

It leaves a nice and even stain behind (I suggest scrubbing lips beforehand for an even stain) which lasts for hours.

Shimmers makes it special but it isn't very noticeable at least in my shade. I hoped for more of a pink shade but I got a bright coral, not what I hoped for but I ended liking it. My biggest negative is the longevity, I hoper for a longer lasting affect.

Same gloss, different day

 Hello,

pink gloss is back and strikes again.

It is Catrice obsessed lip gloss in the Same gloss, different day shade. It is a soft pink with no shimmer.

It looks like a lovely pastel pink and I was ready for it (not that I need more lip glosses). It has a gorgeous sweet vanilla scent and I love that. Tube looks normal with regular dove foot applicator but it only holds 2,5 ml of product.

Mine shade is pretty sheer, on the lips I can see zero pink tones but I am okay with it (sheer is better than too pigmented). Formula is somewhat jelly like and the gloss doesn't pour down and over the lip line.

I also find that the gloss is buildable, if I apply little it looks like a glossy balm, if I layer it it looks super glossy and juicy and makes my lips appear without any lines. It sticks around for a good hour which is really nice.

I like the sheer shade, gorgeous scent, juicy lips and nice longevity. I don't appreciate the small packaging.

I wonder if there are some other sheer shades but then again I wonder if it is wort it. I used mine for three days and one third of the tube is already empty.

Glacier Moon

 Hello,

this is a true party product but I love that it can be toned down and worn as an everyday shadow.

It is Joocyee glitter eye shadow single in Glacier Moon option. I love the intricate card box packaging with the string to hold the box together (I already have the lip gloss from them).

In person it shows a bit more icy blue than in photos, where it looks straight up silver. 

It sparkles like crazy, it reminds me of fresh snow on a cold and sunny day. 

First I made a heavy swatch and then tried to sheer it out to see if I can make it more as an everyday sparkly shadow.

The base isn't creamy but when I put it on my lids the particles stay put and don't fall down my cheeks.

Even though it is December I have no fancy parties to attend so I use it for work and I try to wear it a bit more sheer and everyday appropriate. I find it to be versatile and I like that.

I wanted to get the slightly pink option but this icy blue was cheaper so I took this one :) I had glitters like this before and especially when blended out the base color doesn't really show up. I know it is pointless to get more but they look so beautiful. I can find only matte and glittery options, I wonder if they have some with sateen finish.

I am very impressed with Joocyee product and this shadow is no exception.
