Scorpio Coming

 Hello,

this is the second set from the brand that I have purchased recently. This variation is leaning against red territory and it has a potential.

It is Pudaier trio in the combination Scorpio Coming with lip pencil C2079-06, lipstick 1 and sharpener. They are in red tones, at first I thought that the lip liner is dark brown but I was wrong. On skin it looks a bit different than in the pencil format.

Here they are and the pencil really looks a bit more brown, especially next to the lipstick, right?

Since this is the second set I kind of knew what to expect. Pencil glides easily all over my lips, it can be manipulated and smudged but since it never sets it leaves prints on my glasses and cups. The lipstick is no better, very buttery but it doesn't set. This duo is not longlasting and it is okay to be worn for some errands were I would not be drinking or eating then it stays there but as soon as something touches my lips they are gone.

It is unfortunate that they don't last since I really like the colors. I like that the pencil leans cooler with slight berry tone and that the lipstick is a smidge lighter and more neutral. I think a lot of different skin tones could wear it and it would look nice but constant reapplying and wiping off my cups is too much of a hassle. I am thinking of passing these two to my sister but I would miss these two beautiful colors so I haven't decided yet.

Champagne Pearl & Stellar Nacre

 Hello,

for today I have mermaids lip glosses and I picked her neutral nude ones :)

They are FlowerKnows Shell's jewel nourishing lip glazes in Champagne Pearl and Stellar Nacre. Both in nude tones without any sparkles.

The details on these are pretty, I like the soft pink packaging as well. Packaging is a bit bulky for only 4,8 ml but the gloss inside is really nice.

There is also an open shell with a pearl inside, super cute but not very practical if I want to carry it around because it takes a lot of space. I am scared that the shell from the top would fall off even though it is glued quite securely.

First is Champagne Pearl, which is lighter warm toned peachy-nude shade. It has little pigment and when my lips have natural red pigment this one barely shows up.

Second is Stellar Nacre, a bit deeper, more pigmented than the first, neutral nude with some orange in it. This one compliments my natural pigment and looks very natural on me but on days when my lips are pale it gives them that natural coloring and I find it very beautiful.

I love the quite intense sweet grape scent on these (it has to be one of my favorites among all lip glosses). They are glossy and that shine lasts from one hour up to hour and a half.

I really like this line of glosses for their scent and these two shades are lovely, second one, Stellar Nacre is my favorite and I can see myself repurchasing it.

Mellow Pink

 Hello,

for today I have one of my first tints from Asian market. In the flood of all new purchases this one almost slipped through the cracks.

Etude glow fixing tint in Mellow Pink. The bright pink packaging looks a bit scary but the product inside isn't as bright as the tube suggests.

This formula is a bit more mousse like than what i tried recently. It applies nicely and wand gives me a lot of control over it.

At first it is quite matte but after a few minutes it turns glossy for about 20 min, then the shine fades and is semi matte formula.

First swatch is fresh, after a minute to show the gloss but unfortunately it doesn't last. Shade is also very different than the outer packaging.  It is more of a rosy shade but it still keeps brightness and liveliness.

I find this shade surprisingly wearable and nice on my skintone. Second swatch is a leftover stain. It stains my lips for about one and a half hours. Then it starts fading and wearing off.

There is no scent or taste which is also a bit different.

I love the shade and mousse texture is easy to use. I wish it would stay glossy for longer and that the stain would last. I will use it up but probably I will not be buying more from this line.

Unicorn Salt and Strawberry Cream

 Hello,

these two definitely take home the award for the weirdest scent in the lippie game.

These are both marked as lip tints but one of them is a topper. They are Unleashia Popcorn Syrup lip plumper in Unicorn Salt and Strawberry Cream.

Unicorn Salt has a super thick silicon applicator and colored Strawberry Cream has also thick fuzzy applicator with a dip at the end which can carry a lot of product. I use around one third of that on my lips, it is very pigmented but the topper doesn't cary a lot of product with that fat silicon tip.

Clear topper has tons of tiny blue and violet sparkles while the tinted one is shimmer free.

These have popcorn/caramel scent and it is odd, not bad but unexpected in a lippe, I have never tried anything like it. Soon the minty scent follows but it is not cold or extra tingly so I find it okay.

Clear one is very shiny and gloss while tinted one is not as mirror like but still shiny. Gloss on both of them lasts for about 40 min.

I like the odd scent, both applicators seem very different but I prefer the one in the tinted format, clear one has too big of an applicator and stopper scraps off most of the product.

I like the shine and if it would last a bit longer I would like it even more. Strawberry Cream has a nice staining properties and it stains evenly my lips. This pink shade is one of my favorites among my entire lip tint collection.

I see that there are three more shades and they look very nice as well... I know I don't need more but this formula is really nice, one of my favorites :)

Pink Grey

 Hello,

I wanted to venture a bit into face palettes, especially to get a new contour powder. I found this brand and since these are very inexpensive I took two different ones, this is the first one since the colors appeal to me more.

This palette is from Veecci and it is their face palette in Pink Grey option (there are four plus some limited editions). This one looked the most versatile for me. 

The ripple effect on the packaging is beautiful and nice to touch :)

It is supposed to contain one shimmery and one matte highlighter, blush and contour shade, since I am probably not the right skin tone as the brand predicted soft pink 'blush' barely shows up on me and even then it is too pale to be called a blush, at least on my skin tone.

I swatched them in clockwise order, starting with the shimmery highlighter. I like this one on my eyes, for my cheeks I feel like it is too shimmery. 

Pink blush is a bit too pale for me skin tone so I started using it on my eyes to set my eyeshadow primer and set my concealer. I use fluffy brush and the color does not show up.

Third is contour which isn't super cool on me but something in between. I would prefer for it to be a bit more grey but even like this I can use it on my cheeks or my eyes.

Last is big pan of this cream matte highlighter. It is slightly lighter on my skin when I pack it on. I can use it in the same matter as the matte pink shade, under and over my eyes to set concealer or primer.

Contour shade is very powdery, soft pink one also kicks some but not that much, the other two are fine.

I love the packaging but shades aren't quite right for me. I like the contouring powder but since it is in small packaging it will be used first and fast. It is not a bad palette, I can see myself using these shades but only the brown shade for its purpose. The two mattes could be used as powders for my eye areas, face and neck. For the shimmery shade I even have a plan to crush it and mix it with my hair spray to add some sparkles and finish it up because I don't believe I can use it all up on my eyes.

Sultry lip gloss

 Hello,

this lip loss was a gift with purchase and at first glance this shade seemed a bit odd.

It is Paese beauty lip gloss in the shade Sultry. I love the Fanta orange drink scent, it is a bit different and in a good way. It looks like a normal sized gloss but it holds only 3,4 ml of product.

It is the shade that seems a bit unusual. It is light peach with tons of gold shimmer and making it pretty warm.

Here it is, it is very peachy and pigmented. Applied on its own it is pigmented but after a few minutes shade adapts/blends and it looks pretty natural. I was very surprised to see how wearable it is because I was not expecting it to be. The added shimmers are making it very shiny.

I like the shade after it adapts and the shimmery isn't too bad even though I am not a big fan of super warm tones but this one somehow works. I like the orange drink scent but the longevity is very poor, on me it lasts about 20 min.

I will likely use it up but probably I will not be getting any more.

Cream Cloud

 Hello,

I purchased this set because it promoted glossy lip balm and a lip liner (I wanted to try lip pencil for a long time. The last time, which was years ago I did not like it, we will see if my opinion will change).

This set is named Cream Cloud by Pudaier and it contains lip pencil in C2079-03, balm gloss in 7 and pencil sharpener.

Pencil looks pretty cool toned nude and glossy balm cool toned pink but on the skin they change into slightly warmer tones.

Here pencil looks nude, on my lips it pulls a bit more peachy nude and glossy balm is warmer pink and super pigmented. Swatch was made with only two lines but only with one swipe each, it is that pigmented.

Pencil is soft and pigmented and it holds on to that quality, the same goes for the balm. 

Pencil is a little dark on me (I would prefer a more natural tone) but it makes my lips look so very different than usually. My everyday lip is never super defined, I prefer blurred lines but this was a nice change. I will play with it occasionally but I would prefer more of a gel formula which would stay put through the end of the day.
