Lippie of the day | Finally, bright orange

I was searching for bright orange lipstick for the longest. I love bright orange lips for many reasons: it's bright, it's orange and it's bright orange ;) I got this lipstick just yesterday, and I decided to show you this beauty, just because I like it so much.

Lipstick I was wearing today was Avon Ultra colour Tangerine Tango. It's creamy, moisturizing and really easy to apply. Packaging is casual shiny black and lipstick has slightly sweet scent. It's opaque in one application.

Shade is (I would describe it as) neon blood orange shade and it has tiny gold shimmer in it, which is not even visible. Shimmer becomes slightly visible when it wears of a little, but it doesn't bother me at all. 

Lipstick is long lasting on me, it wears of slightly when I ate and drank, but overtime it kinda stained my lips a little. I even tried to blot it with a tissue, but no colour transferred to it. And my lips were still bright orange. It moved slightly into the fine lines around my lips, but nothing a lip pencil can fix (I wore it without).

I got some stares today, I must admit, it's so bright and in your face against my pale complexion, you can't really not see it. It's for girls who dare to wear bright shades for sure. And luckily I'm one of them ;)

Tell me, do you wear orange lipsticks? Do you like them? <3

Lippie of the day | Heart breaker

I received this beautiful lipstick as a Christmas gift (with all other goodies) from my lovely and beautiful friend Sal from PetiteSal blog. We did "a little swap" and she surprised me with three lipsticks. Heart breaker was one of them.

This fun shade is from Rimmel called Lasting finish lipstick in 016 Heart breaker. Formula is super creamy, glides on like butter, but with that you have to be careful, because it will get in your fine lines around your lips and will smudge if you're not careful wearing it. It doesn't survive a meal (only outline stays on me). I recommend using it with a lip liner and powder it to seal it.

Shade is dark-bright rapsbery pink. I wouldn't call it "in your face pink", but it's an eye catcher for sure. It doesn't contain any shimmer or glitter. To make it more subtle, you can just tap it on your lips and spread it all over the lips with your fingers to give them some colour.

How do you like it? Did it break your heart? :)

Lippie of the day | Wet stain

Oh, hi! Haven't forgotten to blog, but when blogmas was over, I had a feeling like I don't need to blog anymore. No post ever written by itself, silly me :).
Anyways, today I have another lippie of the day post for you.

I was wearing Catrice Wet Shine Stain Long-lasting lip lacquer (that's a mouthful) in colour Fatal. This one was realised last year in limited edition collection (I don't remember which one) and I got it.

It's a red shade with berry undertones, has lip gloss finish and if you look really closely it has tiny glitter/shimmer in it, but I can't really see it on my lips. I absolutely adore this shade. To me it looks like very vampire like, like you just had a feast (and you know what vampires eat/drink ;)).

It's not the most comfortable lip product to wear, since it's quite sticky and you have to be careful not to get it all over your teeth (have to do the "finger trick" before going out). since it's more liquid-y product than a regular lipstick it can get in your lines pretty quickly (you can see than on the picture above).

Tell me what do you think about this shade. Do you have it?

Lippie of the day | God of Love

Wow, it's been awhile since I've done lippie of the day post. If you don't remember those posts, I'm basically showing you what lipstick I wore certain day and write a short review.

Today (it was basically yesterday) I wore NYX Lip Smacking Fun colors in 536 Eros. I ordered this lipstick few years ago on eBay, it's probably one of the most neglected lipsticks I have, even though it's such a pretty shade - bright warm red with orange undertones (even though it doesn't look like that in pictures). It has teeny tiny shimmer in it, but you can't really tell when you have it on the lips.

Consistency is super creamy, glides on smoothly like a butter, because of that it's the best to wear it with a lip liner, otherwise it will get in lines around your lips. Staying power is not the best, but if you use lip pencil and set it with a powder, wearing time is longer. It can be sheer on some spots with one application, but it's buildable.

And that's how it looks on me.

Tell me what you think of this shade.

Current favourites

Or what have I've been loving lately, even though I haven't really bought anything new, but still :)

Essence has released new lipsticks and of course I had to try them out. And I love them, I bought two shades: Wear berries!, which is my most worn lipstick right now and Coral calling, her time to shine will come soon :)

Mascara I've been loving is from Isa Dora Big bold mascara Super volumizing in 10 black. I wasn't a big fan of it at the begging, because it has a big wand and it's kinda clumsy, but now it dried up a little and it really gives me super volume. And I love me some super volume.

Black polish has been my favourite since I started to paint my nails for the first time, recently I've been loving black polish from Maybelline Colorama. It stays on my nails for quite some days without chipping, which is rare for me, application is super easy and it dries fast once applied.

I rediscovered Ardeco eyeshadow base in my makeup collection and completely used it up in last few months. It's like a magnet for eyeshadow, my eye makeup doesn't move whole day! Need to repurchase it :)

I had Bourjois single eyeshadow in 90 Blanc for years now, but since I've been around a lot, it's my go to eyeshadow to highlight my face. And it also has a mirror, which is always useful.


Now to the random favourites.
I've been eyeing the Milford cold teas for a while before I actually bought it, and then I bought it and I wasn't wow'd. But after few tries, it kinda grew on me. I even like putting little bit of stevia in it, makes it even better for my taste. Oh and I only tried Limette taste.

I am not into gaming or ever understood gaming videos/channels, but then I found PewDiePie and he changed my opinion forever. This guy is f*ckin' hilarious (once I almost broke my nose laughing), he works hard, has 14,000,000+ subscribers and the fact that he's from Sweden (and not America) makes him even cooler. Check him out, if you don't know who he is already.

Even though Oh no from Marina and the Diamonds is older song, I still love it and is my currently favourite song :)


I think that's it for today's post. Thank you for all your kind comments on my last post, feels good to be back ;)

Essence Stay matt Lip cream REVIEW

I know you've probably read a lot reviews on Essence Lip creams and now it's my turn to shine :)

So, I have 2 shades: 03 Soft nude and 04 Silky red. 
 

Packaging is the same as their Stay with me Longlasting lipglosses, plastic, 0.13 fl. oz./4ml. You apply them with the applicator, which is the same as lip gloss applicator. The only thing I don't like about the packaging is that writing will scratch off if you are wearing it a lot in your purse or makeup bag.

 

Now to the product itself. Texture is creamy, soft, leaves a soft matte finish. It doesn't dry off your lips, but I recommend using scrub on your lips before applying it, because matte lip products will show dead skin on your lips (little bit of olive oil and sugar and scrub for a minute ;)). They don't smudge, but if lipstick easily bleeds on you, apply (invisible) lip liner to prevent that.

Application is easy, in my opinion is easier to apply it than regular lipstick. It will stay on your lips for few hours, probably doesn't survive a meal, so you need to reapply it. You basically need only one coat, because they are super pigmented as you can see in picture below.

They only have 4 colours to choose from. We should sign a petition for Essence to make more colours, because these products are beautiful and cheap - 2,19 €. I bought mine in Mueller drugstore.

 

Essence also released 2 new lip cream shades in their Guerilla Gardening collection and I bought 01 Mission flower yesterday, which I'm completely in love with. But, I think that texture is slightly different. It's not as full coverage as other two, but it's buildable and I think it gives more shiny finish, although it's still on matte side (does this make sense? :D). Anyways, I forgive you for your mistakes, because you're beautiful!

Soft nude & Mission flower

Have you tried Stay matt lip creams? How do you like them?

Lippie of the day: Touch of Magic

Have you ever heard about a green lipstick that changes colour once applied? If you haven't I'll introduce it to you today :)

It's Barry M lipstick in colour Touch of Magic.

It was nonsense to photograph a name on the packaging, because it is already scratched (the only thing I dislike about Barry M lipsticks). The packaging is matte black, really sleek looking, but it gets dirty really quick. I still love it though :).

As you can see, colour is vibrant green, yes green, but once you apply it, starts changing in pinkish shade. I've read that it "calculates" colour that will suit you best. I don't know about that, but I love how it looks on my lips. It becomes quite vibrant pink with blue-ish undertones. It has no shimmer or glitter, which I love.

It doesn't wear off, it stains my lips like a regular stain, but it's also really moisturizing for at least few hours. If you eat or drink (or kiss ^^) moisture will go away, but you can reapply it or just apply lip balm on top, which works great for me as well. 

This lippie is one of my favourites for sure!

 

And that's how it looks on me:

 

Have you ever tried "green lipstick"? Do you like Barry M lippies?

My first swap ever: Valentine swap

I joined  Sweetaholic beauty's Valentine swap. This was my first swap ever and it was so fun! Looking forward for doing more in the future ;) Jasmine paired me with Amy, who blogs over at Bottled Beauty. Check her out! She is so lovely.

Anyways, I received the package extremely fast, in one week that is, and she is from Australia! She still haven't received mine, although I send it one day before she did.

Here are the goodies she got me:

She wrote me a Valentine's card, which I believe is first one in my life which is not from my mother :D (don't laugh!)

I really wanted to try Revlon Just Bitten Kissable stains, because they are not sold here in Narnia. She got me colours Sweetheart/Valentine and Smitten/Éprise. Anyone knows why do they have 2 names? 

Anyways, I got so excited when I opened Sweetheart that I damaged a tip of a stain with a cap, need to be more gentle with my babies :). So far I like them!

 

I'm not a Rimmel virgin anymore! :D

 Look at this gorgeous shade! It's red, dark red but on a berry side. It smells amazing and I think it goes really well with my skin tone! Although I never match anything to my skintone. I rock everything :P 

Oh, this lippie is Lasting finish by Kate in  09 Rossetto.

 

Another Rimmel product is their Glam eyes Professional Liquid eyeliner. I love that brush is tiny so you can do a really fine line and it's also really pigmented. I've read that it's a good product, now it's my turn to be the judge :)

We have Essence in Slovenia, but she got me Lipstick pencil in 01 Cherry cherry girl from their Cherry Blossom collection. I believe that this collection is not sold here anymore, but I also haven't bought anything from it, but I really liked those pencils. And now I have one :)

 

Quick swatches. From left to right: Rimmel Rossetto, Essence Cherry Cherry girl, Revlon JBK Sweetheart and Smitten. Underneath is swatched Rimmel eyeliner.

Another Rimmel product she got me is their Lasting finish nail polish in 500 Disco ball. I mean, who doesn't love disco balls? I want to have one at home when I have my own place :D. But disco ball nails will have to do for now :D

Then she added some Australian brands, I always love to try new products :).

This glitter baby is by Australis Nail glitter top coat in Fairy bread. It looks alike to Essence Confetti one, but colours are slightly different and glitter is in different shapes.

 Another Australis product is Lash TLC conditioning mascara. I was pleasantly surprised that wand is curved, I actually used to curve straight wands on my own. I had no expectations, whatsoever, but I was surprised how amazing this mascara is. It lenghtens my lashes, but it also gives me volume. And Lord knows I need help with that :D

 I feel like this post is taking forever :D

She also got me 2 blushes, first one is BYS blusher in Fierce fuschia. It's such a pretty mixture of pink and coral shade with shimmer, never seen before a beauty like this one!

Second one is Essence Cherry blossom girl blush in 01 Asain sensation. It has two shades: blush and highlight. Really handy ;).

 Quick swatches: from left to right: Essence lighter shade, darker shade and BYS.

 Last but not least, is Eye shadow palette Summer days from Sports girl. She said this brand is like Australian Topshop and she got it for weekly makeup tags ;). How thoughtful!

Unfortunately, one of the shadows broke as you can see, but other colours are still in one piece and ready to use :)

Aaaand that's it. I hope she receives her package soon, I got her Catrice products and I hope she likes it all :).
You'll see all the products mentioned here in my future posts. 

Thank you for reading and have an amazing day!!

New favourite lippie? | mini haul

Firsty, sorry for being so mia lately, I've been studying for exam hard core and I didn't pass it, so I have to study again and even more hard core, I guess. And this week I was writing an assignment, haven't done any pretty makeup in 3 weeks and also, don't forget to mention I have terrible trouble sleeping. I look like a zombie. No concealer can hide these under eye circles.

Anyways, I did a little shopping, I think 2 weeks ago and I wanted to show you what I got, because I'm really impressed with new lippies :). You probably heard about new Bourjois Rouge edition lipsticks as they are really popular in the blogosphere, so I had to get them. A girl can never have too many lippies anyways. :)

 I decided to get 2 shades: 04 Rose tweed and 13 Rouge jet set.

Left: Rouge jet set, right: Rose tweed.

These babies are super creamy, moisturizing, pigmented ... in one word: magical. I can't even tell you how much I love them! I've been wearing Rose tweed as my everyday pick, it's like my natural pink lip colour, but sexier! :)
And the Rouge jet set will become my new favourite red shade with blue undertones. I just didn't have a chance to wear it yet (I don't have to be pretty for books or do I?).
I am thinking about getting more of them :)). I think they cost around 11 €.

Another product I bought is Bourjois Contour clubbing waterproof eye pencil in 50 loving green. It's super creamy, pigmented and colour is really pretty. I haven't worn it yet though.

 

It has a teeny tiny shimmer in it. So pretty ^.^

Have you tried any of these products? What do you think of them?

P.S.: I don't know when I'll post my next post, but please be patient, I have 2 (or maybe even 3) makeup series planned out, I wanted to start this week, but studying was priority. 

Lippie of the day: NYX Twist

I love rearranging my makeup, because I always rediscover some products I've been neglecting. I went through my lipstick collection last week and found this NYX one.

I've decided to wear it today. It's in colour LSS 633 TWIST.

It's reddish brownish orange-y colour (I suck at describing) with teeny tiny gold shimmer in it. I prefer matte lipstick in general, I actually hate anything shimmery or glittery on my lips, but I started liking this one for some reason.

It has really creamy texture, it applies smoothly, you slightly feel shimmer on your lips if you squeeze them together. It wears off even if you don't drink or eat, so you'll need to reapply it.
Other than that I think it's a really autumn/fall colour. I combined it with pretty simple eyes (blue eyeliner and black on lower lashline) and coral blush.

Do you own any of NYX lipstick? What do you think about this one?
