It took me months to track one down, since the Essence stand here has been more empty than full in the last year. Actually even a few days ago there wasn't a single one of these on the stand - I don't know if its because they are so popular or because Essence has supply issues. There are three shades available, so far I've only seen two. The other two are an orange and brick red shade. There are also bronzers which I haven't had a chance to swatch yet. Baby Got Blush became my go-to blush.</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2kWRySjzWa4yctjZ2Q0P-M4s1B9z-cYE6MUcxjdeKTXyOsqWJ7WQZFWUOFy5yg6LhY3MgdQD3mgEvjEznJ0mL4SIx4DswkON71bgq9uwyhJ-QCu3ceCqSv2pQPP2Bq_RPCp4bGoDH-Tg7agI0QOrl3izbh9wYzkuDbUMmHGTRaTw8SQ7hMTzBNAyO/s1500/Essence%20Baby%20Got%20Blush%20(2).JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2kWRySjzWa4yctjZ2Q0P-M4s1B9z-cYE6MUcxjdeKTXyOsqWJ7WQZFWUOFy5yg6LhY3MgdQD3mgEvjEznJ0mL4SIx4DswkON71bgq9uwyhJ-QCu3ceCqSv2pQPP2Bq_RPCp4bGoDH-Tg7agI0QOrl3izbh9wYzkuDbUMmHGTRaTw8SQ7hMTzBNAyO/s16000/Essence%20Baby%20Got%20Blush%20(2).JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Formula is quite stiff and it doesn't glide very smoothly on the cheek. In fact it can take off foundation if you just swipe it directly on the skin. I know, it doesn't sound good, but this is one of the nicest blushes I've tried so far. I always use a small round medium dense blush brush for application. I just swipe on the stick and then stipple the blush on the cheeks. This creates a beautiful pink flush with diffused edges. Pigmentation is about medium, so I apply two layers. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho3EYDlhyphenhyphenJ1X7QhqOpX2ckzvN0nApfcOyWWU3uu3tWBy__45mQVxaktkJ04fZzQkFbcCecELDAFAkqd064S3k-kGS0LLx9M7S2GSbAJyVhyphenhyphenkfnzngEC15RHAfwCQkZtj8013iZeIv6sFtkeiF-HaxWQDvGuEL5QolnyvF9mXAru7DJFkP4Glhw-uLj/s2000/Essence%20Baby%20Got%20Blush%20(3).jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho3EYDlhyphenhyphenJ1X7QhqOpX2ckzvN0nApfcOyWWU3uu3tWBy__45mQVxaktkJ04fZzQkFbcCecELDAFAkqd064S3k-kGS0LLx9M7S2GSbAJyVhyphenhyphenkfnzngEC15RHAfwCQkZtj8013iZeIv6sFtkeiF-HaxWQDvGuEL5QolnyvF9mXAru7DJFkP4Glhw-uLj/s16000/Essence%20Baby%20Got%20Blush%20(3).jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div>This shade is a winner for me. It's a cute leaning-to-cool pink - it was a rarity in my collection, since such shades always pull warm on me and this one creates a proper baby doll flush. Recently I got similar shades from Essence and Catrice, both were launched in the last month: it's the new Blush Affair (010) and Baby Got Blush the Liquid Version (10). So if you can't find this stick and you like this shade, there are two alternatives, which are more pigmented. Finish is satin and it has no shimmer. </div><div><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHr0Rwz1_I1F6oO5L79I6h2ON7jdSOHZD3O7aXnfJjTrwb9B4LFOkvrACEQiNz2XWFQpYOfpWzUf9l6d8GpH_6CdTjqkM2Q7BZobdm5B_jDxsOMZ6dz5JweA5RK3QoIrOc2EeHgPwLGyXmu7DiqWdKJ-HnzOp5_tOWi_nH84p9wnp44X4HtUNI4m3B/s1500/Essence%20Baby%20Got%20Blush%20(6).JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHr0Rwz1_I1F6oO5L79I6h2ON7jdSOHZD3O7aXnfJjTrwb9B4LFOkvrACEQiNz2XWFQpYOfpWzUf9l6d8GpH_6CdTjqkM2Q7BZobdm5B_jDxsOMZ6dz5JweA5RK3QoIrOc2EeHgPwLGyXmu7DiqWdKJ-HnzOp5_tOWi_nH84p9wnp44X4HtUNI4m3B/s16000/Essence%20Baby%20Got%20Blush%20(6).JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitBjjzHV4NDz8hnzCUl87d7iDmHrOwIMeAkFkmy_X3YiDDJDWfoFDMEBIpYl7-Xh8B47W6zt6wI0z12BJubj4gVMnd9Kk2kWu0JuVwJpZ7tFeAkuhvKZ5JLwuF__3ju1C51hAtuP0jZ1OYQ_NFXfgTTRAWbSaHb4l5IqvIyEuJLfmxEaIsvAfQyVAn/s1500/Essence%20Baby%20Got%20Blush%20(5).JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitBjjzHV4NDz8hnzCUl87d7iDmHrOwIMeAkFkmy_X3YiDDJDWfoFDMEBIpYl7-Xh8B47W6zt6wI0z12BJubj4gVMnd9Kk2kWu0JuVwJpZ7tFeAkuhvKZ5JLwuF__3ju1C51hAtuP0jZ1OYQ_NFXfgTTRAWbSaHb4l5IqvIyEuJLfmxEaIsvAfQyVAn/s16000/Essence%20Baby%20Got%20Blush%20(5).JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div>The stick has quite a strong scent of watermelon.

It's not as high coverage as <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2019/12/it-cosmetics-your-skin-but-better-cc.html" target="_blank">the original</a>, but it has a hydrating formula that suits my dry skin. It's lightweight, has a light-medium coverage and a glowy finish. I appreciate the fact that so far it hasn't slipped into my smile lines.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">NYX PROFESSIONAL Makeup Bare With Me Concealer Serum</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Fair</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">A great natural-looking concealer for dry skin. It layers nicely, doesn't look cakey and doesn't become too dry after a while, since a lot of formulas become matte on my skin. Coverage is about a medium and it covers my under eye circles and redness around the nose ok, but it doesn't quite manage to fully conceal a red blemish. I appreciate that the pump is very precise, so there's no wasted product.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7gWQ471TbV1Xu-gPaGY1R1O-cy0WbcdXufPgHVFCfxV2vOFeCUI4Hu1qprnLYLZNunpHL14kjvM5KNZG7JC1y7rZxm0zf1RzdxIIKg2ZEzoZOvFtwivnTWCNMP8rvAmWKB72RyRixbBI75sCJW7r3uKdEOaMfZ3XxP3mWj_Zmx9itXCrNNnmk10MO/s1500/2024%202%20February%20favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(3).JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7gWQ471TbV1Xu-gPaGY1R1O-cy0WbcdXufPgHVFCfxV2vOFeCUI4Hu1qprnLYLZNunpHL14kjvM5KNZG7JC1y7rZxm0zf1RzdxIIKg2ZEzoZOvFtwivnTWCNMP8rvAmWKB72RyRixbBI75sCJW7r3uKdEOaMfZ3XxP3mWj_Zmx9itXCrNNnmk10MO/s16000/2024%202%20February%20favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(3).JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">COLOURPOP Going Coconuts Eyeshadow Palette</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">I recently splurged on the hyped up <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2024/02/new-in-136.html" target="_blank">Natasha Denona palette</a> and I realised that on my non-oily eyelids, Colourpop eyeshadows do the same job. This palette is one of the most popular ones I believe and the only shade in here that isn't that great is the white Palm Reader, but the rest are excellent quality. Mattes are very pigmented, smooth and blend easily. Shimmers are great too, they have a good color payoff and have a nice level of shine. I wore ND and Colourpop one on each eye and they performed the same - neither creased and looked fresh at the end of the day. But shimmer falls down at both.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo6KfEQ2AXV96qf-VtlYxiSV6acPqZVKUA6fr8CVKKqzv-xauMhCMuN1oxueudxSAFxT7Jgfh9ds5468td0i-q_tTNU8wbe6gM4z5D4IvaasSrxlKn_Y7QJapQP0c0S_SBQ_7x7iJXCgK6WAUq8MQxCebsDg-hJWM0nDP1ZWVg94G1N9VRD9v41wRB/s1500/2024%202%20February%20favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(4).JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo6KfEQ2AXV96qf-VtlYxiSV6acPqZVKUA6fr8CVKKqzv-xauMhCMuN1oxueudxSAFxT7Jgfh9ds5468td0i-q_tTNU8wbe6gM4z5D4IvaasSrxlKn_Y7QJapQP0c0S_SBQ_7x7iJXCgK6WAUq8MQxCebsDg-hJWM0nDP1ZWVg94G1N9VRD9v41wRB/s16000/2024%202%20February%20favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(4).JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">MAX FACTOR 2000 Calorie Lip Glaze Plumping Lip Gloss</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Max Factor has always had great glosses, most recently their Honey Lacquers were my favourite and these are very similar, maybe just a bit richer. Formula feels very balmy and comfortable, they are great for dry lips. Though (intense) glossy shine doesn't last as long as at Catrice's Glossin' Glow lip oils, they hang on the lips for hours. My favourite shade is 085 Floral Cream.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGDsxnKbwtqVHF1tpJwyjWDtHBt5RSC_LSjnfjqMOKPGbs1mGBmTHsimzWPXDSl_eQAdGi4M29gsWrGmYEH5PkXY7oxr6wIU3hOrXepy7XwKezsXgnGl8iYieYaAUDdtxcL_EPTUYQJuOhoD3WY_MXS-qfPqXZ_cCkbmF76FgsbI3DYV7XqaqO37ST/s1500/2024%202%20February%20favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(5).JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGDsxnKbwtqVHF1tpJwyjWDtHBt5RSC_LSjnfjqMOKPGbs1mGBmTHsimzWPXDSl_eQAdGi4M29gsWrGmYEH5PkXY7oxr6wIU3hOrXepy7XwKezsXgnGl8iYieYaAUDdtxcL_EPTUYQJuOhoD3WY_MXS-qfPqXZ_cCkbmF76FgsbI3DYV7XqaqO37ST/s16000/2024%202%20February%20favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(5).JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">CATRICE Heart Affair LE Highlighter</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aside from the cute packaging of this LE highlighter, this is another really nice formula by Catrice.

So I grabbed this one is my drawer instead and it's so easy. You just swipe it on and blend with fingers. And it's a nicely moisturising lip balm too. This shade is the lighter of the two and is kind of a classic peachy pink that perks up the skin.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">WET N WILD Mega Last High-Shine Lip Color</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mad for Mauve</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">One of my favourite shades because it's close to my natural lip colour and it just defines the lip without looking very makeup-ey. I tend to pick this one when I'm in a hurry because it goes with everything, looks very natural and make you look more put together. Formula is moisturising, so it doesn't have an amazing staying power, but I forgive it at this shade because you can't see it fading.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdtU9mI2hGfLgplhE-Aw-NUEmstLme-7wfUjmVcwTZ6dxhMhKREAQx802l_lYCcAQw2EoPIgBSH6ZX8t-y-ueO8WDFDYGsCe9qqrfbohw6dfuHJyo-8c2jT6BwuY6UpLmD4Lxk5Fkf2VCXC44BMw1IfeSW7zOKAfg2RGz9MO60SFAb_6SUO5f4ARda/s1500/2024%202%20February%20favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(7).JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdtU9mI2hGfLgplhE-Aw-NUEmstLme-7wfUjmVcwTZ6dxhMhKREAQx802l_lYCcAQw2EoPIgBSH6ZX8t-y-ueO8WDFDYGsCe9qqrfbohw6dfuHJyo-8c2jT6BwuY6UpLmD4Lxk5Fkf2VCXC44BMw1IfeSW7zOKAfg2RGz9MO60SFAb_6SUO5f4ARda/s16000/2024%202%20February%20favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(7).JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">PACO RABANNE Pure XS</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Eau de parfum</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">This was love at first smell years ago and now I finally have it. It smells like popcorn, just a lovely salty note that makes it so unique. There's some sweetness from the peach and floral notes include orange blossom and ylang-ylang.

I already have <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/07/new-in-122.html" target="_blank">Stone Cold Fox and Bare Necessities</a>, so I really should be wanting anything else, but this looks pretty.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>COLOURPOP Not a Box of Chocolates</b> - very reminiscent of the discontinued Too Faced Chocolate palette. This collection of shades just appeals to me.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>COLOURPOP Sweetheart Valentine blush</b> - I've been seeing the Dior pink blush everywhere, but when I went to test it in the shop, I felt disappointed because I could barely pick up any colour. This looks like a similar shade, is cheaper and hopefully more pigmented.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>NAJ OLEARI Morning Booster Concealer 01 Chantility</b> - I tested this in Müller and surprisingly for Naj Oleari they have a pale shade. I took an instant liking to it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>BALEA Beauty Expert Cleansing Balm </b>- I had this in my hands when I was in DM and was very tempted to take it, but so far Beauty Expert line hasn't wowed me, so I'm not sure I want to risk it. It's a cleansing balm with 3% squalane and reviews are fairly mixed.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>SOME BY MI Retinol Intense Reactivating serum</b> - this caught my eye because it has retinol, retinal and bakuchiol in one product. It also has niacinamide, panthenol, centella asiatica, ginger extract, adenosine, beta glucan, ceramides, madecassoside, resverartrol and a peptide. Everything is likely in small amounts and this probably more for beginners, but I'm interested in it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>BEAUTY OF JOSEON Revive Eye Serum Ginseng + Retinal</b> - My usual retinal serum Geek & Gorgeous A Game 10 has been out of stock for ages and I've used up mine a while ago, so I'm trying to find a replacement. This is sold in DM's here and it has 2% Retinal Liposome, as well as niacinamide, ginseng, adenosine, cholesterol, hyaluronic acid, ceramides and a peptide. It's got 30 ml of a product which isn't that little for an eye cream, so I could use this all over.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>SOL DE JANEIRO Delicia Drench Body Butter and Cheirosa 59 Perfume Mist </b>- a new scent by SdJ.

True to the name, this is a great mascara for adding length. As far as volume goes it's ok, but it fails at definition, as it starts to stick lashes together - I blame the short bristles.

I imagined it very differently, a classic peachy-pink, so I was surprised when I first saw it in the shop at how orange it is. That time I picked <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/06/milani-baked-blush-petal-primavera.html" target="_blank">Petal Primavera</a> instead and have since set my eyes on Dolce Pink, both are pinker. Luminoso is an apricot-orange shade. On my pale neutral skin tone there isn't even a hint of pink, but such shades usually look peachy-pink on deeper skin tones, which is also how it looks on Milani's pictures.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghGompPrXnGmoRj1tPsNQDP23kapEtM1yTyexWkUoUh0IxN1cmgMRxwEn4HQr_I1csdm5-XcKBClCSNK5dD3nh-9N7JPrCZRlsxEeW3MGh7nM8BNxsiQ4kq-9I33T4yED1YVZmVKiXvR3QIyFRXXblgTOMzr6l3LCjyctoo98Lj7jjXOs3mjA5-3kq/s2500/Milani%20Cosmetics%20Reviews%20(14)%20Baked%20Powder%20Blush%2005%20Luminoso,%2014%20Petal%20Primavera.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghGompPrXnGmoRj1tPsNQDP23kapEtM1yTyexWkUoUh0IxN1cmgMRxwEn4HQr_I1csdm5-XcKBClCSNK5dD3nh-9N7JPrCZRlsxEeW3MGh7nM8BNxsiQ4kq-9I33T4yED1YVZmVKiXvR3QIyFRXXblgTOMzr6l3LCjyctoo98Lj7jjXOs3mjA5-3kq/s16000/Milani%20Cosmetics%20Reviews%20(14)%20Baked%20Powder%20Blush%2005%20Luminoso,%2014%20Petal%20Primavera.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Pigmentation is strong and as it's such an intense shade, I need a light hand. However, even with a small amount, the glow is visible, as it has very fine shimmer - at a lot of the glowy blushes that are very pigmented, so I can only use a small amount, the glow is barely visible, so it's nice to see that's not the case here. When these blushes are new, the powder is very loose and it flies everywhere. In time that layer gets used up and it's a nice smooth blush after that. Staying power is excellent, as it lasts all day on my cheeks. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQY8ZYNompsFZnpQF4iqoq-QAu35bsZKol2Ryug2kHMVm4unHgKU8-AyCgEYSKZNjCmGD-x2EHT-OPBZhyphenhyphen8g6YqLTUfFuyyY6ygADOcNqmNsawGVFdiisfAs1vh7JNXe2oqT8tx93cbwIdL_PBtFGIul8tdOKVNTi3f8WZ9XJJ2WxMK34hNFtWp7xG/s2500/Milani%20Cosmetics%20Reviews%20(15)%20Baked%20Powder%20Blush%2005%20Luminoso.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQY8ZYNompsFZnpQF4iqoq-QAu35bsZKol2Ryug2kHMVm4unHgKU8-AyCgEYSKZNjCmGD-x2EHT-OPBZhyphenhyphen8g6YqLTUfFuyyY6ygADOcNqmNsawGVFdiisfAs1vh7JNXe2oqT8tx93cbwIdL_PBtFGIul8tdOKVNTi3f8WZ9XJJ2WxMK34hNFtWp7xG/s16000/Milani%20Cosmetics%20Reviews%20(15)%20Baked%20Powder%20Blush%2005%20Luminoso.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Fruit Fetish Lip Oil</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Passion Fruit Coconut and Raspberry Peach</span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJLgN9f4X5yDkrmaE5XNVdol7wxp6-dCrqdzmpGCP4S76_Y_YYKI0qGij8W-vmAjCI1szozgd0SdYHWZE8R3HUgVNUtUnw3IYYBHv4-JCNawwYWsGKdf6yRkj8gU6SB4rBR1W3iZbWOd6MM0Uf9yyO0n8bLPAKLwwl_w4oycB5sEy27SRy-7qis813/s2500/Milani%20Cosmetics%20Reviews%20(16)%20Fruit%20Fetish%20Lip%20Oil%20Coconut%20Passionfruity,%20Raspberry%20Peach.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJLgN9f4X5yDkrmaE5XNVdol7wxp6-dCrqdzmpGCP4S76_Y_YYKI0qGij8W-vmAjCI1szozgd0SdYHWZE8R3HUgVNUtUnw3IYYBHv4-JCNawwYWsGKdf6yRkj8gU6SB4rBR1W3iZbWOd6MM0Uf9yyO0n8bLPAKLwwl_w4oycB5sEy27SRy-7qis813/s16000/Milani%20Cosmetics%20Reviews%20(16)%20Fruit%20Fetish%20Lip%20Oil%20Coconut%20Passionfruity,%20Raspberry%20Peach.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I've tried a few lip oils by now and this is another nice, nourishing formula. They aren't as impressively glossy or long lasting as the <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/09/new-in-133-new-catrice-products-autumn.html" target="_blank">Catrice ones</a>, but they beat regular glosses. Their main plus for me, is that they are scented. The yellow passion fruit coconut version has a warm, tropical scent and the red raspberry peach has a sweet berry scent. They also have a sweet taste. Both shades are clear or in a thick coat have a gentle tint. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a

They can feel tight on the lips, especially if your lips are often dry - but that's the deal with liquid matte lipsticks.

This one has no scent, but it’s otherwise the same. It does the job of prolonging the staying power of makeup and it can be used as a priming mist too. It's not my favourites, as that honour goes to <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/07/new-in-121.html" target="_blank">Revlon's Colorstay Lock</a> and in the second place is Urban Decay's famous <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/07/new-in-122.html" target="_blank">All Nighter Spray</a>, but this one isn't far behind those two and I like the ingredients of Milani's most, as it has niacinamide. The spray pump is not the best, as I wish the mist were more fine. There are several large drops when I spray it and it takes some time to dry, but like I said, it does the job of keeping the makeup looking fresh for longer. </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Read more Milani reviews <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Milani?max-results=20" target="_blank">here</a>. <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">*All are PR products. <br /></div> Matejahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06185854904546395778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906024651089625186.post-61162645874292251292024-02-20T18:19:00.000+01:002024-02-20T18:19:02.731+01:00New in #136<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizRVmwh747B4ZeNBIEAB8Q5SGZBNsd-RotE2Kjirc32iEbzRzIAfsz4wCYUG4W2RyoC2wQTraguQJ_Hlf_aW2ZJp7MX-neQQLj4hUeFNATG3H_MjrLiR_xIn_9oD-yQWevsBg71YQtldXWxsmRtJ2DNYPX1PL6B5DDbL8Z5snwNcu7nxjMjpT-fk36/s1500/New%20in%20%23136%201.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizRVmwh747B4ZeNBIEAB8Q5SGZBNsd-RotE2Kjirc32iEbzRzIAfsz4wCYUG4W2RyoC2wQTraguQJ_Hlf_aW2ZJp7MX-neQQLj4hUeFNATG3H_MjrLiR_xIn_9oD-yQWevsBg71YQtldXWxsmRtJ2DNYPX1PL6B5DDbL8Z5snwNcu7nxjMjpT-fk36/s16000/New%20in%20%23136%201.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj_Ym_g2plRUOk8rZS7GXZN_V1boX0K_CEfCRCp5r9w-CcfXMbh1pVvW5DNIMau8dkwbQtud6Vmn6DzBsbt7rb2iKAjnEtTTzfmj53jiez0-MWFEVZWDg-yVbkYF2cSf2vzxFec7w3uLZvTFPgu9tu2s8gJibVYcNcy0EQud3TCo0usDbIbQGHCUlb/s1500/New%20in%20%23136%202%20IT%20COSMETICS%20CC+%20Nude%20Glow%20Lightweight%20Foundation%20and%20Glow%20Serum%20Fair%20Porcelain.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj_Ym_g2plRUOk8rZS7GXZN_V1boX0K_CEfCRCp5r9w-CcfXMbh1pVvW5DNIMau8dkwbQtud6Vmn6DzBsbt7rb2iKAjnEtTTzfmj53jiez0-MWFEVZWDg-yVbkYF2cSf2vzxFec7w3uLZvTFPgu9tu2s8gJibVYcNcy0EQud3TCo0usDbIbQGHCUlb/s16000/New%20in%20%23136%202%20IT%20COSMETICS%20CC+%20Nude%20Glow%20Lightweight%20Foundation%20and%20Glow%20Serum%20Fair%20Porcelain.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">IT COSMETICS CC+ Nude Glow Lightweight Foundation and Glow Serum</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Fair Porcelain</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm a fan of the <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2019/12/it-cosmetics-your-skin-but-better-cc.html" target="_blank">original CC</a>, which they don't have in a light enough shade for me, but this new line of CCs has a pale shade that matches me well. Formula is unlike the original, like a liquid foundation and feels lighter, less heavy-moisturiser-like. Coverage is light-medium, it's easy to build up and it has a glowy finish. If you're a fan of the original CC, you may be disappointed at lower level of coverage and the fact it doesn't feel like a traditional CC/BB, but just like the original, this is a great formula for dry skin and it has quite a bit of glow. It suits my dry skin at the moment. It features several skin care ingredients, though less than the original and here the focus is on niacinamide, as it's meant to be a brightening formula. The SPF is 40 compared to the 50 of the original. It performs poorly on spots as it slides off quickly without setting it with a powder, so I have a feeling this formula doesn't work well on oily skin. It also doesn't photograph well, but in person it looks fresh and it doesn't settle much into my smile lines.

This appears to be popular and I have to agree with the hype. It's one of the nicest concealers I've tried so far. It doesn't really feel like a traditional concealer, instead it's more like a foundation for dry skin. It layers well, it melts into the skin, looks natural, yet covers quite a lot for such a lightweight formula. I'd say the coverage is about medium, it's not full, but it covers circles well and red spots reasonably well. I quite like this for blemishes because it looks a lot less cakey than pretty much all concealers I've tried, though it doesn't stay on as well as matte formulas and it can slide off. I got the lightest shade Fair and it fits me well. The packaging has a pump dispenser which is very precise and can squeeze out the smallest amount. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">TARTE Shape Tape Ultra Creamy Concealer</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">8B</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">This was another recommendation for dry skin, but I'm not sold on this one as much as on the NYX one. The coverage is better, close to full and formula is creamy, however, I need a either a rich moisturiser or a glowy foundation, otherwise this doesn't blend well on my dry skin. It can quickly look very flat and too matte on me. It covers a lot, but it can look cakey, especially on the spots. From the formulas in my drawer, this is closest to <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2019/07/loreal-infallible-more-than-concealer.html" target="_blank">L'Oreal Infallible More than Concealer</a>. By the way this is supposed to the Shape Tape version for dry skin, though they have another called Radiant. I picked the lightest shade because there's no useful comparison pictures online, so I went with the lightest because that's what I always do. It turns out it's actually too light for me, but I don't mind. It's one of the lightest shades I've tried so far.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixdtgVaLZgfRO-N-cxryQ2LI6OUgcGlU-gE-TyFATbpsLoaq3NKu2kjaA06meo6i5K7f6Zn3AytabFJkvsQyQGq5IQ3zSkhz200-dCdA9fo5_xk2B2vaCwLzOSl9bFmwsDgFcrPWsRpZZn9UmwFiVr53RfQpz8MwwXjyIa1yJcGJyf7_7bAzLvkJ_u/s1500/New%20in%20%23136%204%20NATASHA%20DENONA%20Glam%20Mini%20Palette.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixdtgVaLZgfRO-N-cxryQ2LI6OUgcGlU-gE-TyFATbpsLoaq3NKu2kjaA06meo6i5K7f6Zn3AytabFJkvsQyQGq5IQ3zSkhz200-dCdA9fo5_xk2B2vaCwLzOSl9bFmwsDgFcrPWsRpZZn9UmwFiVr53RfQpz8MwwXjyIa1yJcGJyf7_7bAzLvkJ_u/s16000/New%20in%20%23136%204%20NATASHA%20DENONA%20Glam%20Mini%20Palette.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjddhdVcTpzvKwsffrF4xPpM9NBwvKKUZO0HQaPw0qyEMc4gkYJznJxnvfZRrCc6-QID5fZuouYhLYn-CpXwc6K06filGe2oUKC7yqNkOhriBRF7sTFekgbP5Avyz9Ue8VUkGPHytRC_uwqasmzbANYivcdms0cYkcNg2i4u3f-7510AK2vBTScaPQY/s1500/New%20in%20%23136%205%20NATASHA%20DENONA%20Glam%20Mini%20Palette.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjddhdVcTpzvKwsffrF4xPpM9NBwvKKUZO0HQaPw0qyEMc4gkYJznJxnvfZRrCc6-QID5fZuouYhLYn-CpXwc6K06filGe2oUKC7yqNkOhriBRF7sTFekgbP5Avyz9Ue8VUkGPHytRC_uwqasmzbANYivcdms0cYkcNg2i4u3f-7510AK2vBTScaPQY/s16000/New%20in%20%23136%205%20NATASHA%20DENONA%20Glam%20Mini%20Palette.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">NATASHA DENONA Glam Mini Palette</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm sure you've heard the raves about the quality of Natasha Denona's eyeshadows, how they are supposedly the best ones you can buy. Admittedly I bought this also because I wanted to see if it's true. I find they don't stand out among good eyeshadows. The much cheaper <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/07/new-in-122.html" target="_blank">Colourpop's</a> to me feel the same - actually their mattes are more creamy and pigmented than the two mattes in Glam palette. I'm not saying it's a bad palette at all, but it's so hyped up and my expectations were really high and turned out they do the same as the cheaper (fantastic) formulas. I did a test with one eye with ND and the second with <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2021/11/colourpop-pressed-powder-palette-thats.html" target="_blank">Colourpop's Going Coconuts</a> palette and they both looked equally intense on the eyes, both blended so smoothly and both lasted all day like freshly applied on my never-oily eyelids (with no primer, just leftover concealer and powder to take away the tackiness of the concealer). It's a new palette, so maybe when I get through the top layer it may become a more stand out performer - we'll see. The palette is deceptive in term of colour. I expected old gold shades, but the whole look ends up warm and coppery on me - something that happens with classic gold shades on my skin tone.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJq2KBIoQSI9QgMJ2GEYKBVczSDAatjA00xCIdXTfT4kJz2UkAQY5TzpyK4-ooPQWZOxemUNl0ajK6sl_OrxyrFO92c6sxQ21WfmUEBJOq0-ZaGc7o9-Zoq5mb867oLijjFzATUfwY4YHclqXxuBJoXPq6Hn2HgyPkF56_huNb1wfFCxXtvAchEVNh/s1500/New%20in%20%23136%206%20RARE%20BEAUTY%20Soft%20Pinch%20Liquid%20Blush%20Grace,%20Pinch%20Tinted%20Lip%20Oil%20Hope.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJq2KBIoQSI9QgMJ2GEYKBVczSDAatjA00xCIdXTfT4kJz2UkAQY5TzpyK4-ooPQWZOxemUNl0ajK6sl_OrxyrFO92c6sxQ21WfmUEBJOq0-ZaGc7o9-Zoq5mb867oLijjFzATUfwY4YHclqXxuBJoXPq6Hn2HgyPkF56_huNb1wfFCxXtvAchEVNh/s16000/New%20in%20%23136%206%20RARE%20BEAUTY%20Soft%20Pinch%20Liquid%20Blush%20Grace,%20Pinch%20Tinted%20Lip%20Oil%20Hope.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">RARE BEAUTY Soft Pinch Liquid Blush</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Grace</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">There is such a hype about these blushes and I waited for ages for shade Happy to be in stock on Feel Unique, but now that they are apparently closing soon, I picked the shade that was most similar and that was Grace. This shade is way too pigmented for me - I don't know if that goes for all shades, but I find this shade so hard to work with. I can only apply a micro dot if I don't want to look silly. Since I can only work with such a small amount, it lacks creaminess and it doesn't blend as easily as I'd like. It's entirely possible that on deeper skin tones that can apply a regular swipe of blush, this formula performs admirably, but I prefer my<a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/10/new-in-134.html" target="_blank"> Essence Stick blush</a> for 3 € that I can layer slowly. I tried mixing it with a foundation/concealer and using fluffy brush, but it's still not enough to make the pigment manageable on my pale skin. Grace is a medium pink when swatched, but on my cheeks it ends up warmer, which I didn't expect.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">RARE BEAUTY Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hope</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">I regret buying this. It's the same as <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/05/new-in-130-essence-spring-2023.html" target="_blank">Essence's Tinted Kiss lip tint </a>and it's not worth the splurge. Formula is nothing like a lip oil, at least the good ones I've tried (<a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/09/new-in-133-new-catrice-products-autumn.html" target="_blank">Catrice</a>, <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/04/new-in-119-new-essence-products-for.html" target="_blank">Essence</a>, <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/02/new-in-128.html" target="_blank">A'Pieu</a>). It's a thin, liquid formula that doesn't really feel like it will stick on the lips like a gloss and it indeed doesn't last long glossy. It dries eventually and leaves to me an awkward-looking stain because the lips aren't nourished and it overly tints dry parts. The lips don't feel nourished after it dries and they look chapped. Hope is a medium peachy pink.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkA0ifzGBfSRuHwq0-HObmKS6NDmv8WSDjV3gqJGG8JLVeT7AqWEgFXChRgWSIvBiYWG-b8ZMVTltXLyP92e2vpo18EuEKj9P0t06VS39ECCjsGpM7se37pXepqrQJ__z41MUOTeFbQBBf12w4gfdeEgd0TvapMmKnPlLxDxlM6PY14GsVFSp8D6YX/s1500/New%20in%20%23136%207.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkA0ifzGBfSRuHwq0-HObmKS6NDmv8WSDjV3gqJGG8JLVeT7AqWEgFXChRgWSIvBiYWG-b8ZMVTltXLyP92e2vpo18EuEKj9P0t06VS39ECCjsGpM7se37pXepqrQJ__z41MUOTeFbQBBf12w4gfdeEgd0TvapMmKnPlLxDxlM6PY14GsVFSp8D6YX/s16000/New%20in%20%23136%207.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcu__MVHTt1ael3sbhShwDmBLwtrTI6xNEa5CNuB0LFUV2U1kIQudlNbhHqWj2iPFtKP2utJW5yN5mMPd4aW1rqhSwJVUJ_amhFVk1evf8W8vcLNSCaZjsmloSRoYsi3Qb14sPrHJK9kufPuYlN3wKkI_Vlj66V2f6z9fK_uDq-ioNC5QWzyaKiNO6/s1500/New%20in%20%23136%208.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcu__MVHTt1ael3sbhShwDmBLwtrTI6xNEa5CNuB0LFUV2U1kIQudlNbhHqWj2iPFtKP2utJW5yN5mMPd4aW1rqhSwJVUJ_amhFVk1evf8W8vcLNSCaZjsmloSRoYsi3Qb14sPrHJK9kufPuYlN3wKkI_Vlj66V2f6z9fK_uDq-ioNC5QWzyaKiNO6/s16000/New%20in%20%23136%208.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh522WwmLkL-XLzOURtQNuxyaWqxkDM-dN3mbpLWBUPf3V0obBei_7b8AVPEXCLxwfTpYGfTZci2t36H_sL-4jBhDt-kCU7KgDnd08mMuNNj5JZQNrnRY-sQ5G9oex39vqCs9pSH2dyBjxvvt_yt2E5s_RxRpNxhvG_XmS5U9CoiMQGSsjiWAOoWfLB/s1500/New%20in%20%23136%209%20MAX%20FACTOR%202000%20Calorie%20Lip%20Glaze%20Plumping%20Lip%20Gloss%20000%20Melting%20Ice,%20005%20Honey%20Cr%C3%A8me,%20010%20Cotton%20Candy,%20050%20Guava%20Flair,%20075%20Pink%20Fizz,%20105%20Berry%20Sorbet,%20150%20Caramel%20Swirl,%20170%20Nectar%20Punch.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh522WwmLkL-XLzOURtQNuxyaWqxkDM-dN3mbpLWBUPf3V0obBei_7b8AVPEXCLxwfTpYGfTZci2t36H_sL-4jBhDt-kCU7KgDnd08mMuNNj5JZQNrnRY-sQ5G9oex39vqCs9pSH2dyBjxvvt_yt2E5s_RxRpNxhvG_XmS5U9CoiMQGSsjiWAOoWfLB/s16000/New%20in%20%23136%209%20MAX%20FACTOR%202000%20Calorie%20Lip%20Glaze%20Plumping%20Lip%20Gloss%20000%20Melting%20Ice,%20005%20Honey%20Cr%C3%A8me,%20010%20Cotton%20Candy,%20050%20Guava%20Flair,%20075%20Pink%20Fizz,%20105%20Berry%20Sorbet,%20150%20Caramel%20Swirl,%20170%20Nectar%20Punch.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">*MAX FACTOR 2000 Calorie Lip Glaze Plumping Lip Gloss</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">000 Melting Ice, 005 Honey Crème, 010 Cotton Candy, 050 Guava Flair, 075 Pink Fizz, 105 Berry Sorbet, 150 Caramel Swirl, 170 Nectar Punch</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">New collection of lip glosses by Max Factor. They've always known how to do a good formula, I've loved their lip glosses since trying Silky Gloss which was my first ever.

It's another super comfortable, balmy formula that feels amazing on the lips. The only difference that I can see is that they are either thicker or the big applicator allows for a thicker application, in any case you end up with more product on the lips. They last well for lip glosses, though not like <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/09/new-in-133-new-catrice-products-autumn.html" target="_blank">Catrice's Lip Oils</a> (those set the bar quite high).

Shimmer is fine and the colour a light champagne.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoMoy3Gl0anZ9KUiU-4fuZSquzOFklQiIGRNl9zueus06EKDTRv7YnMsrj1z3R1G7Z4GfKIgp9IncubVYGNnNy_ZwDFHH8RhcciBdZvZwrq0NiMJ09E5DLI15XgLRShN7djNvUaozSaYG1VI4ucobKlwwEte96Hyyf5eSxvZYuFowfAX-FEYwaQmHq/s1500/New%20in%20%23136%2013%20PRIMARK%20Glow%20Up%20Highlighter%20Rose,%20Liquid%20Blush%20Light%20Pink,%20Lipstick%20%20Brown%20Berry.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoMoy3Gl0anZ9KUiU-4fuZSquzOFklQiIGRNl9zueus06EKDTRv7YnMsrj1z3R1G7Z4GfKIgp9IncubVYGNnNy_ZwDFHH8RhcciBdZvZwrq0NiMJ09E5DLI15XgLRShN7djNvUaozSaYG1VI4ucobKlwwEte96Hyyf5eSxvZYuFowfAX-FEYwaQmHq/s16000/New%20in%20%23136%2013%20PRIMARK%20Glow%20Up%20Highlighter%20Rose,%20Liquid%20Blush%20Light%20Pink,%20Lipstick%20%20Brown%20Berry.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">PRIMARK Glow Up Highlighter</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Rose</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">This was 1 € and I got it as a toy, so not for me to use. There's a reason why it was this cheap. Formula is hard and it takes off the foundation if you swipe it on directly. Pigmentation isn't brilliant with a swipe, but it can be build up. The worst thing it that they put large glitter particles in an otherwise nicely fine shimmer. It has a light bronzey tint, which blends out.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipD6j7IPlPyJzgAthKhwY78ryC7jniIc2-FI1qiJ-Wdo5C3ideLK7xam34XKJr3axWRKi_u8PGpTK3Tgk_Gv-503WTdDZ7bxDtdcU3wIxPGkhiHyYPv8by7FR78X35egeHzbODFVgw_Y8ww4g_F_yrELEhR_YU8U0fUVapuyQ_bUm9zdd-oLsVROPy/s1500/New%20in%20%23136%2014%20PRIMARK%20Liquid%20Blush%20Light%20Pink.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipD6j7IPlPyJzgAthKhwY78ryC7jniIc2-FI1qiJ-Wdo5C3ideLK7xam34XKJr3axWRKi_u8PGpTK3Tgk_Gv-503WTdDZ7bxDtdcU3wIxPGkhiHyYPv8by7FR78X35egeHzbODFVgw_Y8ww4g_F_yrELEhR_YU8U0fUVapuyQ_bUm9zdd-oLsVROPy/s16000/New%20in%20%23136%2014%20PRIMARK%20Liquid%20Blush%20Light%20Pink.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">PRIMARK Liquid Blush</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Light Pink</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is very similar to Rare Beauty liquid blush - of course based on performance on pale skin with a small amount. This is another super pigmented formula, so again I need to use the tinniest amount. I wore them side by side, one of each cheek and at the end of the day I found the Primark side looked more intense. The colour is a proper baby doll pink. I think there was one more shade available.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">PRIMARK Lipstick</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brown Berry</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Another product that was 1 €. Formula is like lipsticks were in the past, before all pretty much all brands started making high quality lipsticks. It's a thick formula that feels harder than modern formulas and it doesn't glide on the lips with particular ease. Colour is almost opaque and the shade a medium brown that is likely a great nude shade for medium skin tones.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpKFYm8j7UmJ4rdIfeUMfuF3iY8Oo9q7j6y_lz-Ilv0avrQWVXlFjYM-78J0Rum7KFberBxhgNar_2C2OYATlwYSZbE5RhK0ivIL25HEgvpdxyIO2Edg9SXYCpNjS102SD9NlXN7wRV7X7tuyN9j95XyJOWkQVqslqRBnpcxNZSqzsDPDi55RUbffi/s1500/New%20in%20%23136%2015%20ORIFLAME%20The%20One%20Smart%20Synch%20Lipstick%20Marvellous%20Mauve,%20Smart%20Red%20and%20Cherry%20Plum.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpKFYm8j7UmJ4rdIfeUMfuF3iY8Oo9q7j6y_lz-Ilv0avrQWVXlFjYM-78J0Rum7KFberBxhgNar_2C2OYATlwYSZbE5RhK0ivIL25HEgvpdxyIO2Edg9SXYCpNjS102SD9NlXN7wRV7X7tuyN9j95XyJOWkQVqslqRBnpcxNZSqzsDPDi55RUbffi/s16000/New%20in%20%23136%2015%20ORIFLAME%20The%20One%20Smart%20Synch%20Lipstick%20Marvellous%20Mauve,%20Smart%20Red%20and%20Cherry%20Plum.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">*ORIFLAME The One Smart Synch Lipstick</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Marvellous Mauve, Smart Red and Cherry Plum</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">A new collection of creamy lipsticks.

Cult Beauty doesn't have a big selection of stuff under 5 € (one of the reasons they never truly won me over), so I picked this, after checking the swatches online. It's such an unflattering colour on me. It's a mix between a cool pink and lavender, which just drains all colour from the face and makes the teeth look even more yellow than they are. Formula was probably ground-breaking when these launched years ago, I remember these being hyped up in the past, but I've tried many similar balmy lip gloss formulas, so this formula isn't special, I actually find it thin compared to <a href="http://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/02/new-in-127-catrice-new-products-for.html" target="_blank">Catrice's Plump it Up</a> or Max Factor's 2000 Calorie.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7qaKI1YBY4oJPwG9k7ODDHnYPEKSpnEmBVBW-CRWbCWiM7e8meNYDMNyfrTKBl25QHVCzB_C4hwzU64NcsoEB0xZQBEWmLOr5ynpfJqDeoPcn5-8zHSqD-A-ppnwl2CAKyd38nt3MYgCnipLvpTbgRQPwI89R0YTcxExgMgI2SbaaHtemkd8wyTK2/s1500/New%20in%20%23136%2017%20TERRA%20NATURI%20Highlighter%20Drops%20Beige%20Gold.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7qaKI1YBY4oJPwG9k7ODDHnYPEKSpnEmBVBW-CRWbCWiM7e8meNYDMNyfrTKBl25QHVCzB_C4hwzU64NcsoEB0xZQBEWmLOr5ynpfJqDeoPcn5-8zHSqD-A-ppnwl2CAKyd38nt3MYgCnipLvpTbgRQPwI89R0YTcxExgMgI2SbaaHtemkd8wyTK2/s16000/New%20in%20%23136%2017%20TERRA%20NATURI%20Highlighter%20Drops%20Beige%20Gold.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">TERRA NATURI Highlighter Drops</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Beige Gold</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">My favourite <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2020/05/new-in-92-whats-in-my-mail.html" target="_blank">Oriflame liquid highlighter</a> has gone off and I can't repurchase it because it out of stock or gone forever, I don't know. So I was looking for a replacement and there aren't many, especially in the drugstores. I found this in Müller and it didn't have a tester, but I still took a risk. I wish I hadn't, especially since when I got home I saw the news Essence is releasing their liquid highlighters soon. The first thing that hit me when I opened the bottle is a unlikeable scent of maybe rancid oil. It's so strong and I think smelled this scent at other natural brands, possibly Alverde. Both Alverde and Terra Naturi put me off the brand when it comes to non-powdery products a long time ago. This formula is greasy and too liquid, so it's not pleasant, especially since it stays greasy for a long time. Glow is ok, it's not as nice as Oriflame's and there are some large glitter particles, but from far away it looks passable. I'm going to look for something better.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5nSYowbypzK2EB4V11sh-zieUBYnauyYE4Bg-foJ7dU3hA3f1jnF1PD8sFyET5sQZ5hTvLXiicF31Zv8iV3HxETsNLl3Pf3WVs3z2wrB-dsjVribYWVkt6kc6OIhFi657JUf_eFReo_KklA4sIL451Hs8pYU-3Gvce1BaPMa0fP4w-ClJMq3i1cqR/s1500/New%20in%20%23136%2018%20GISOU%20Honey%20Infused%20Hair%20Oil.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5nSYowbypzK2EB4V11sh-zieUBYnauyYE4Bg-foJ7dU3hA3f1jnF1PD8sFyET5sQZ5hTvLXiicF31Zv8iV3HxETsNLl3Pf3WVs3z2wrB-dsjVribYWVkt6kc6OIhFi657JUf_eFReo_KklA4sIL451Hs8pYU-3Gvce1BaPMa0fP4w-ClJMq3i1cqR/s16000/New%20in%20%23136%2018%20GISOU%20Honey%20Infused%20Hair%20Oil.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">GISOU Honey Infused Hair Oil</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">A ridiculously overhyped product. I've been seeing this brand everywhere and so many praise the fragrance of this brand - it's bland. I don't get it. It smells like a fabric softener with some orange notes from the start. It's very soft, barely detectable and forgettable - mostly because it disappears so fast. Formula is again nothing special, it's a classic silicone-oil and there are so many that are exactly the same for a cheaper price. If you ask me, buy Orofluido if you want something that has an amazing scent, the same formula, effect and is much more affordable. Moroccanoil is the only that I find stands out a bit because it helps the hair dry faster, but overall silicone-oils are mostly all the same, though some are thicker/richer than others. This one is one of the thicker ones like Moroccanoil, Orofluido, Macadamia Natural oil, Precious Argan and Joico K-Pak. It adds the final touches, meaning shine, it detangles and it hides dry ends. This is a mini 20 ml bottle, so it wasn't that expensive, but the full sized 100 ml's price is unreasonable at 77 € - shocked this is a best seller.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipSAflqy_LoEX5TnB4sXaU3waxFZxOa7yRESz2B_2RxrnGxmIblQ7ws1oIshBe0pDSF6n8pbn9lrevuBUN9_PPwHVRMSOpwGje1lELcYObQYFQKhm4GAqIgWNPW9Yw-u2bdjt33prpCyn34h74Up8y9nQ5NEnNS89gB2AXLi00JR4V7LipUb288zgI/s1500/New%20in%20%23136%2019%20REDKEN%20Acidic%20Bonding%20Concentrate.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipSAflqy_LoEX5TnB4sXaU3waxFZxOa7yRESz2B_2RxrnGxmIblQ7ws1oIshBe0pDSF6n8pbn9lrevuBUN9_PPwHVRMSOpwGje1lELcYObQYFQKhm4GAqIgWNPW9Yw-u2bdjt33prpCyn34h74Up8y9nQ5NEnNS89gB2AXLi00JR4V7LipUb288zgI/s16000/New%20in%20%23136%2019%20REDKEN%20Acidic%20Bonding%20Concentrate.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">REDKEN Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">A repurchase. Notino had a set with all three products for the price of two. This is one of my favourite shampoos because it feels so rich and produces a thick foam, which is nice to see in a sulphate free formula. I'm not sure it does much on its own in terms of hair health, as shampoos just wash off, but my hair has improved in the last months, but was probably due to other things. I didn't notice a reduction in breakage.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">REDKEN Acidic Bonding Concentrate Conditioner</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Since I liked the shampoo, the conditioner was next on the list. It's nicely rich and thick, the way I like my conditioner/mask formulas, however, it feels like a silicone-free conditioner and my hair had no slip when I was rinsing it off. It's a formula I'd mix with Pantene Repair conditioner or Gliss 7 Sec to avoid that "bare hair" feeling. I haven't used it without my usual army of leave-ins to see if it's hydrating enough on its own, but it felt ok, I just miss the slip their Extreme conditioner has.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">REDKEN Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-in</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Redken's best seller that like the other two is supposed to combat damage - it makes big promises, but I've tried enough products to know what to expect in reality. It doesn't feel that special. It's a just a creamy leave-in that isn't that heavy, but it's thicker than their Anti-Snap. It's not as hydrating as Moroccanoil leave-ins, nor does it help with the frizz alone, but it is a heat protectant too. I have yet to use this whole line long enough to see if it's capable of making a real change on bleached hair, but so far I haven't noticed a reduction in split ends or breakage.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEOE1IRn9tvoyrWdi6yt9btOKRsk9gWBUywh38yBD7QTkvNvEhA6HGqG5dBoURauA0KIzTDILUA3RDp4Lhd5M1nukAFz2JVfdTM0mWPK1Dnk63Pp5jlWwyGwRlaDFAlixdPtFt1b1DIdK-SR_OZsDuoUnq-kz7z1MvdB2UsXu3HeH6YHKrarfvVh2i/s2500/New%20in%20%23136%2020%20SOL%20DE%20JANEIRO%20Bom%20Dia%E2%84%A2%20Jet%20Set.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEOE1IRn9tvoyrWdi6yt9btOKRsk9gWBUywh38yBD7QTkvNvEhA6HGqG5dBoURauA0KIzTDILUA3RDp4Lhd5M1nukAFz2JVfdTM0mWPK1Dnk63Pp5jlWwyGwRlaDFAlixdPtFt1b1DIdK-SR_OZsDuoUnq-kz7z1MvdB2UsXu3HeH6YHKrarfvVh2i/s16000/New%20in%20%23136%2020%20SOL%20DE%20JANEIRO%20Bom%20Dia%E2%84%A2%20Jet%20Set.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_oGdd7_F71YP8pb8ri9SjNpAIOWG-qoN2vDjlSZEPB2TuegwP1-fuMVp20R_HNXeRjjh0PDuRBrLx8nU-l7lysGXlibzDVOUftEcvMpD8Uz8BouSYaRjSpfBfcib5kztQ1I_ZzF_rUxLlufl0RsTDw33bF7QDHR5Zfs1xI1TiqvsxNlSyGR18Gw8n/s1500/New%20in%20%23136%2021%20SOL%20DE%20JANEIRO%20Bom%20Dia%E2%84%A2%20Jet%20Set.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_oGdd7_F71YP8pb8ri9SjNpAIOWG-qoN2vDjlSZEPB2TuegwP1-fuMVp20R_HNXeRjjh0PDuRBrLx8nU-l7lysGXlibzDVOUftEcvMpD8Uz8BouSYaRjSpfBfcib5kztQ1I_ZzF_rUxLlufl0RsTDw33bF7QDHR5Zfs1xI1TiqvsxNlSyGR18Gw8n/s16000/New%20in%20%23136%2021%20SOL%20DE%20JANEIRO%20Bom%20Dia%E2%84%A2%20Jet%20Set.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">SOL DE JANEIRO Bom Dia™ Jet Set</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">I love the original Bum Bum Sol De Janeiro scent and feel lukewarm about the Beija Flor one. This is the third one I've tried and I got it based on rave reviews, but it didn't win me over. I know I've smelled this fragrance before, I just can't place it. Notes include plum, black amber, cassis, orchid, jasmine, vanilla, woodsy notes and musk. It's a floral fragrance with lots of warm notes. It'd be a nice creamy, cosy fragrance if it weren't for some overly sweet, green note that doesn't sit that well with my nose. I get the fresh sweet plum scent from the start, then I think what bothers me a combination of orchid and cassis, while the base is a nice creamy mix of vanilla, amber, woods and sandalwood. The cream has the best version of the scent, just like at the Bum Bum Cream.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The <b>Bom Dia Bright Body Cream</b> is described as a retexturing and brightening formula with exfoliating fruit AHAs and Vitamin C. Considering the fragrance is very high on the list, those ingredients must be in low percentages. The AHAs are from banana and mango, vitamin C is in the Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate form. The texture feels very pleasant, it blends so easily and sinks in fast, leaving a silky coat on the skin - the feeling of this cream makes it worth it, despite not being a fan of the scent. The fragrance lasts a while.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The <b>Bom Dia Bright Clarifying AHA BHA Body Wash</b> has salicylic acid and lactic acids aside from AHAs from fruit extracts. Formula is nothing special, just a standard shower gel and I expected something more luxuriously creamy.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The <b>Cheirosa 40 perfume mist</b> has a less creamy and less vanillary-ambery-woody scent, so the focus is more of the floral notes. It doesn't last long on the skin, I can't smell it after an hour, though it stays on clothes. The cream's scent lasts longer.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCv_2l39883SW5-73Xn5zKaJUjsu_CFUlT_B-VOUYZA6Eu0DEWOnjap14I4xcSDk5s5las9dAY1m64I9Z_jah_0x9_NJY3IC2_e_t-QR7oPOh2OHzKW29IHuE45UZupzRP5PRmGXPuab27Muy5Fe4oqQL_2K015roc38dp5OBpjKCeyUdN6mHtjAJo/s1500/New%20in%20%23136%2022%20PACO%20RABANNE%20Pure%20XS%2030%20ml.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCv_2l39883SW5-73Xn5zKaJUjsu_CFUlT_B-VOUYZA6Eu0DEWOnjap14I4xcSDk5s5las9dAY1m64I9Z_jah_0x9_NJY3IC2_e_t-QR7oPOh2OHzKW29IHuE45UZupzRP5PRmGXPuab27Muy5Fe4oqQL_2K015roc38dp5OBpjKCeyUdN6mHtjAJo/s16000/New%20in%20%23136%2022%20PACO%20RABANNE%20Pure%20XS%2030%20ml.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">PACO RABANNE Pure XS</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Eau de parfum</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is the 30 ml size so it comes without the gold snake, which might make this bottle more recognizable to you. Black XS was my fragrance in the past and this barely shares any DNA with it, but it was love at first smell when I tried it years back in the shop. To me Pure XS is what I wanted Olympea to be - it starts with this amazing salty popcorn note that makes it so unique. Then I most smell orange blossom, but it quickly becomes a soft vanilla scent. The rest of the notes include coconut, ylang-ylang, peach, white musk, ambrette, sandalwood and amberwood.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf7YpEZaIJsGiJ7hCqYa8f-pXS36KxFCnWycHLUTRQeGStAYLNLmpxDHrmTpkDz3bOUEPDTFGyPklXcB_W1cEBwtDwU4uyMHSxmsRCB4vFVLau7ID9SNcbRILNsFBFJG5GzoH06OyyXRex9QBZST18CO9Oy907vwfpLb8_1z6rFdGniPqmmDr3sSy1/s1500/New%20in%20%23136%2023%20HIPP%20Body%20and%20Hair%20Cleansing%20Gel%20Sensitive,%20Nivea%20Pearl%20&%20Beauty.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf7YpEZaIJsGiJ7hCqYa8f-pXS36KxFCnWycHLUTRQeGStAYLNLmpxDHrmTpkDz3bOUEPDTFGyPklXcB_W1cEBwtDwU4uyMHSxmsRCB4vFVLau7ID9SNcbRILNsFBFJG5GzoH06OyyXRex9QBZST18CO9Oy907vwfpLb8_1z6rFdGniPqmmDr3sSy1/s16000/New%20in%20%23136%2023%20HIPP%20Body%20and%20Hair%20Cleansing%20Gel%20Sensitive,%20Nivea%20Pearl%20&%20Beauty.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">HIPP Body and Hair Cleansing Gel Sensitive</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>(Haut und Haar Waschgel Sensitiv)</i></div><div style="text-align: center;">For some reason they stopped selling <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/11/empties-46.html" target="_blank">Mixa Atopiance Oil Cleanser</a> here, which I've been using for years and it suits me.

Feel Unique didn't have it in stock, so I picked this one, hoping it's as good. I don't like the scent. It's a typical coconut cosmetics scent, but I find those artificial and not sweet enough. Formula feels somewhat lighter than the Cocoa version, but I tried it on the hair and it has the same effect. On the skin it absorbs quick enough for an oil, but not like dry oils.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCcVIeCff_OT7-wFLvx0agAK8gB8xKYOxS6K0KYVEEAF-XoTsXTTIs760KDLc9ux76eZt6NREAFFMek50O729PpO1-V1pZ7z3EG4ryA1KDBxZiv9p9IfNFy-buJsPHqE9qf3IxNG0leFo6y23GHZY9zFxZyHPkPcmBvVRBZsa2ck-Kc9iFOV2FPfMM/s1500/New%20in%20%23136%2025%20ALVERDE%20Pflege-ol%20All-in-One.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCcVIeCff_OT7-wFLvx0agAK8gB8xKYOxS6K0KYVEEAF-XoTsXTTIs760KDLc9ux76eZt6NREAFFMek50O729PpO1-V1pZ7z3EG4ryA1KDBxZiv9p9IfNFy-buJsPHqE9qf3IxNG0leFo6y23GHZY9zFxZyHPkPcmBvVRBZsa2ck-Kc9iFOV2FPfMM/s16000/New%20in%20%23136%2025%20ALVERDE%20Pflege-ol%20All-in-One.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">ALVERDE Pflege-ől All-in-One</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">I picked this oil mostly for hair care, as a pre-wash treatment because it's main ingredient is canola oil, the same as in my favourite Palmer's Cocoa oil that I have to order online. It's not particularly greasy, though it's not like a dry oil. I've used it for body and it's ok, not overly greasy. Another reason I picked this is because it has a dropper, so I can get close to the scalp, to treat my dryness (and hopefully somewhat reduce dandruff this way too). Compared to <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2021/06/new-in-110.html" target="_blank">Lazartique </a>hair oil, this is much heavier, so not something I'd use a lot of on my ends when they are dry, but as a pre-wash treatment it's nice. It has a gentle, sort of vanillary scent, but it's more bland than that. Alverde says it's a scent of coconut and almonds. Apart from canola oil, it also has shea butter ethyl esters (my hair loves shea), vitamin E, coconut oil, sunflower oil and almond oil + some fragrances. I've already used up 80% of the bottle and I might repurchase, though it's not really helping with my scalp problems, just with the dryness of my hair.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYcTWI6JA1890mKAPziPynJqhUT4RbcKJoC4LNeapFOqbquwRKxotm6B2HpSTrphXi6G0ojIfeHRII20CqKGM-9GsD9-ON3rJHSJox4eEdKaXU3oSesiN_kNg4KHpWSoMxoxL2xi_6a9_NN_wOHAcam4mZyIJWAqsyasetD9iwZFr3KkYBs9Isrht_/s1500/New%20in%20%23136%2026%20SCHWARZKOPF%20BRILLIANCE%20Glanz-Behandlung%20Schokobraun.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYcTWI6JA1890mKAPziPynJqhUT4RbcKJoC4LNeapFOqbquwRKxotm6B2HpSTrphXi6G0ojIfeHRII20CqKGM-9GsD9-ON3rJHSJox4eEdKaXU3oSesiN_kNg4KHpWSoMxoxL2xi_6a9_NN_wOHAcam4mZyIJWAqsyasetD9iwZFr3KkYBs9Isrht_/s16000/New%20in%20%23136%2026%20SCHWARZKOPF%20BRILLIANCE%20Glanz-Behandlung%20Schokobraun.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/12/new-in-135.html" target="_blank">SCHWARZKOPF BRILLIANCE Glanz-Behandlung</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/12/new-in-135.html" target="_blank">Schokobraun</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">A repurchase. It's a tinted hair mask that matches my natural hair colour pretty much perfectly (dark brown with a cool undertone), so I use it to hide my highlighted hair, since I have massive roots and I don't want to use a permanent colour. I've tried a lot of brown tinted hair masks and this one is the darkest, so pick it if you colour your hair dark brown to refresh faded colour, as the rest I've tried fit more light-medium brown hair. Formula is hydrating enough for my very dry hair. I can't tell you how long it lasts as I always refresh it before it looks too faded, but it's a mask that washes off the slowest of all I tried. One wash barely gets any colour off (after four washes, my hair is light brown and a lot of the colour is still on)..</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2obZZYI87z7sNXm3lLRlcBLEs9sbBQ9VzfbM4shYfj0g66e-GlJu_7SernS2RSu14w4wlNcg5ycazqM2FKzBAFTfAWd5WzRkk2btzW_jnbSN1itRwgP6RrXr-swpb51leAxwpPhr4JU8FvNNdsWOWUaxhvTUSlnmDsildbjGckZ8SQIj0NjcfyVvs/s1500/New%20in%20%23136%2027%20Balea%20Shaving%20Gel.%20Ebelin%20Nail%20File.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2obZZYI87z7sNXm3lLRlcBLEs9sbBQ9VzfbM4shYfj0g66e-GlJu_7SernS2RSu14w4wlNcg5ycazqM2FKzBAFTfAWd5WzRkk2btzW_jnbSN1itRwgP6RrXr-swpb51leAxwpPhr4JU8FvNNdsWOWUaxhvTUSlnmDsildbjGckZ8SQIj0NjcfyVvs/s16000/New%20in%20%23136%2027%20Balea%20Shaving%20Gel.%20Ebelin%20Nail%20File.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">BALEA Exotic Passion Rasiergel</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Just a standard shaving gel that I always buy in the current LE scent.

I got a sample of a shade much too dark for me, 4 medium, so it's not easy to test, but based on the sample, I'm on the fence about it. I think I may like it more in the summer. I always imagined this being very different, something like Double Wear, so a matte, high coverage formula that my skin dislikes. But it's lightweight and has a soft glowy finish without being a moisturising formula for dry skin. 4 Medium is so dark it's hard for me to say what the coverage is, but it's lower than I expected. The thing that makes me want to splurge on it is that it doesn't emphasize my smile lines, but it's a formula that doesn't feel hydrating and my skin needs a bit more. I'm not sure if there even are light enough shades for me. Maybe n.3 or 3.75. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjA3rIfdMVaZ_s0jpj6DftH9eX2QsBR95BqPUes6q_VksyjwjcELzZWbtt9ZM_P2wjo4mBXpPqaprj1gHgz5AJCoqrI6yQvi7xixt6aEt2NLCr6a0lfE3X-N2gySGkAKtlDyk-c4ZtddDEo-ViAM_LXU3Ke04A3aJTh9Xa8cuJ_waAN15EkChU8Fav/s1500/New%20in%20%23136%2029%20Primark%20Peel%20Off%20Kids%20Nail%20Polishes.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjA3rIfdMVaZ_s0jpj6DftH9eX2QsBR95BqPUes6q_VksyjwjcELzZWbtt9ZM_P2wjo4mBXpPqaprj1gHgz5AJCoqrI6yQvi7xixt6aEt2NLCr6a0lfE3X-N2gySGkAKtlDyk-c4ZtddDEo-ViAM_LXU3Ke04A3aJTh9Xa8cuJ_waAN15EkChU8Fav/s16000/New%20in%20%23136%2029%20Primark%20Peel%20Off%20Kids%20Nail%20Polishes.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUxsFUy0bysBmDm52nNme-Gr3QFD-mB2EoSKUnUbOCBVm7_HtHZshY8T7ojIVeWvgXCvp7TuRXJIwNoQAncibCLGkPCh9X2Qi5USg8_fyy8RAISGj8sUE3U2nUt-82TcUC6mUk8lFD9ZoL3ltN_4pg6UmmbOGJYvbFhEbeZdzk4HsMBN4GnQAMMaf0/s1500/New%20in%20%23136%2030%20Primark%20Peel%20Off%20Kids%20Nail%20Polishes.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUxsFUy0bysBmDm52nNme-Gr3QFD-mB2EoSKUnUbOCBVm7_HtHZshY8T7ojIVeWvgXCvp7TuRXJIwNoQAncibCLGkPCh9X2Qi5USg8_fyy8RAISGj8sUE3U2nUt-82TcUC6mUk8lFD9ZoL3ltN_4pg6UmmbOGJYvbFhEbeZdzk4HsMBN4GnQAMMaf0/s16000/New%20in%20%23136%2030%20Primark%20Peel%20Off%20Kids%20Nail%20Polishes.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">PRIMARK Mini Nail Polishes</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">I didn't know if I should even mention these.

These are designed to be very long lasting and resilient, similarly as the matte liquid lipsticks, but due to the balm they end up being more comfortable.</p><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKjWGepUrsMM_hdIWSki-wLubXCI2CU5JJtIM_-3WYnxremSD6_cefHZteKrwsv_F5YryNsPYy9YYB-3cJi4Nbs04unXCHDU38w0F4zjsk442pAiTkLdaa8Mq5pUpMe5yPJGF2yPwcRlhz9CtMjlXcn-79bcUH_NZKlDgwPQAqoIzmcEbSEkIjHX64/s1500/L" infallible="" jpg="" lipstick="" oreal="" paris="" step="" teaberry="" toujours=""><img border="0" infallible="" jpg="" lipstick="" oreal="" paris="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKjWGepUrsMM_hdIWSki-wLubXCI2CU5JJtIM_-3WYnxremSD6_cefHZteKrwsv_F5YryNsPYy9YYB-3cJi4Nbs04unXCHDU38w0F4zjsk442pAiTkLdaa8Mq5pUpMe5yPJGF2yPwcRlhz9CtMjlXcn-79bcUH_NZKlDgwPQAqoIzmcEbSEkIjHX64/s16000/L" step="" teaberry="" toujours="" /></a> </p><p style="text-align: center;">The liquid lipstick part has a medium-full pigmentation. It's similar to Revlon's Overtime in that respect and for full opacity needs a second coat. It takes about a minute to set, then it's dry to the touch, but when I press my lips together, it's sticky. I prefer to apply just one coat, otherwise it can feel a bit heavy. Finish is sort of matte, of at least it would be if it weren't for some frost shimmer. It can be worn alone without the balm top coat for a more matte look, while the balm adds a shine to the lips and moisture. The balm is like at Max Factor quite soft, softer than lip balms, so it's very likely it will run out before the lipstick. <br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR0LzwTP6INjMHVaMbGFcx319D4b6OdxuhLHlIAygqzNz4fZ7S6k57Uvj6I5-8Qy03WoyQan44kaa-o6OSKldtWKzdXmcZHyhxJiuaPnXATchcwbNFLdy8FHyJTGS2fp8kgF9G01UAWxLcFXs-iletTsyhBPL-eDmxF9V13ses0OddfNtfmgjywA3A/s2000/L" infallible="" jpg="" lipstick="" oreal="" paris="" step="" teaberry="" toujours=""><img border="0" infallible="" jpg="" lipstick="" oreal="" paris="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR0LzwTP6INjMHVaMbGFcx319D4b6OdxuhLHlIAygqzNz4fZ7S6k57Uvj6I5-8Qy03WoyQan44kaa-o6OSKldtWKzdXmcZHyhxJiuaPnXATchcwbNFLdy8FHyJTGS2fp8kgF9G01UAWxLcFXs-iletTsyhBPL-eDmxF9V13ses0OddfNtfmgjywA3A/s16000/L" step="" teaberry="" toujours="" /></a><br />Just the liquid lipstick | With added sealer <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQBSZF04eiz7799RQfnfSiPN3GOWSsK8KRD8bpM9Cj3R4dKowjd0N1rdPrFelGMTGevXe1G7qdXwQ5cwhwGQXtpOaOPL8-dw2-gSFFhcs2EZZuuY3T3SADPiiU_rtKH_oyPFuEizGJcbEcrHiP2Mt_XQMRF-7leAh5lkX1LtH1FW7ea4mIll7cAV3j/s1500/L" infallible="" jpg="" lipstick="" oreal="" paris="" step="" teaberry="" toujours=""><img border="0" infallible="" jpg="" lipstick="" oreal="" paris="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQBSZF04eiz7799RQfnfSiPN3GOWSsK8KRD8bpM9Cj3R4dKowjd0N1rdPrFelGMTGevXe1G7qdXwQ5cwhwGQXtpOaOPL8-dw2-gSFFhcs2EZZuuY3T3SADPiiU_rtKH_oyPFuEizGJcbEcrHiP2Mt_XQMRF-7leAh5lkX1LtH1FW7ea4mIll7cAV3j/s16000/L" step="" teaberry="" toujours="" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;">213 Toujours Teaberry is one of the lightest shades available. I thought it's going to be lighter on my lips, but it oxidises as it dries to a mauve shade that's cooler one me than what I see in the tube (pictures were taken right after application. The change happens in the next 10 minutes). The frost is visible, a lot more than I expected from a swatch in the shade in the tube and I feel it kind of cheapens it. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggIaT_HGMJO5ReMKTQvn92Ex5LQ_aaVHh0KjrS0kK0xO_jgiK_FpmGGOjIeRl-CS3e2-fVJdjXMcpfG7iZiMoMZIGX62OWP34G3mUtOqYfBtqK1zurYYJvq5wfF_t6auHna2blG2_rq8Yp7qFUfBuSfRAOTOrn2T_qks8iLIuZJpOm3cQSlrbIoTcP/s1500/L" infallible="" jpg="" lipstick="" oreal="" paris="" step="" teaberry="" toujours=""><img border="0" infallible="" jpg="" lipstick="" oreal="" paris="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggIaT_HGMJO5ReMKTQvn92Ex5LQ_aaVHh0KjrS0kK0xO_jgiK_FpmGGOjIeRl-CS3e2-fVJdjXMcpfG7iZiMoMZIGX62OWP34G3mUtOqYfBtqK1zurYYJvq5wfF_t6auHna2blG2_rq8Yp7qFUfBuSfRAOTOrn2T_qks8iLIuZJpOm3cQSlrbIoTcP/s16000/L" step="" teaberry="" toujours="" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR7jrrvsmDTFyGY_U_AgBRYJkFq_8E_608N99A8rXUnheOnM3WGUz6J5Sl95T_i1xhrA_8W9azJc6ZM24-crVkoQM8R8s91xLSlSZR99zLCR3IBrS-G3Jbcc_QCAcrWWIN0CSqQrlb5JsgFxn2rTpnRNbEsBCiVI9eHVbW_6E1JQ4mepe023MKVTHU/s1500/L" infallible="" jpg="" lipstick="" oreal="" paris="" step="" teaberry="" toujours=""><img border="0" infallible="" jpg="" lipstick="" oreal="" paris="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR7jrrvsmDTFyGY_U_AgBRYJkFq_8E_608N99A8rXUnheOnM3WGUz6J5Sl95T_i1xhrA_8W9azJc6ZM24-crVkoQM8R8s91xLSlSZR99zLCR3IBrS-G3Jbcc_QCAcrWWIN0CSqQrlb5JsgFxn2rTpnRNbEsBCiVI9eHVbW_6E1JQ4mepe023MKVTHU/s16000/L" step="" teaberry="" toujours="" /></a> </p><p style="text-align: center;">I don't find it's as long lasting as my favourite such product, Revlon Colorstay Overtime, but it wears off in a non-obvious way unlike Max Factor's Lipfinity, which flakes. Still the staying power is impressive and this can easily survive drinking or eating (non-greasy food). The shine disappears quickly, so this is mostly matte on the lips, but not uncomfortable or tight. Such lipsticks are a good long lasting alternative to liquid matte lipstick. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWR7Sn3uy1inxkNgmKg3vnZJMX_6rpqe2zFTGYj5vToAS2T_B8eCKoFo0fdu6k9PmJ42V_v0D8QY9KWgfeT18s0ritP_RL2v54YENLsUJVeJo69dKpVKzoelV70raEoW388iYBvEMJUP8VOvzhTZQubZt8jSqbXfWfRlHr5K7QgvC5UqKSGikJ2yfS/s1500/L" infallible="" jpg="" lipstick="" oreal="" paris="" step="" teaberry="" toujours=""><img border="0" infallible="" jpg="" lipstick="" oreal="" paris="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWR7Sn3uy1inxkNgmKg3vnZJMX_6rpqe2zFTGYj5vToAS2T_B8eCKoFo0fdu6k9PmJ42V_v0D8QY9KWgfeT18s0ritP_RL2v54YENLsUJVeJo69dKpVKzoelV70raEoW388iYBvEMJUP8VOvzhTZQubZt8jSqbXfWfRlHr5K7QgvC5UqKSGikJ2yfS/s16000/L" step="" teaberry="" toujours="" /></a> </p><p style="text-align: center;">It's not the cheapest lip product at 14,49 € in DM and honestly I find Revlon's version is better.

The packaging was changed in the last year or maybe two, but I don't know if they changed the formula as well. I had this plan to try drugstore products that have been around for a long time and this was among them, but sadly like most of the times, this foundation is not sold in light shades here and I never got it myself. Max Factor's website say this is a best seller and promises high coverage, a lasting "smudge and touch-resistant" formula that keeps the skin radiant for up to 8 hours.</div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAHwFkFRxPDmUXkA_IE5FtmSVbC6Net1OMVat2KXUjj95u_lnv44ThhHQfPMcF0kBEPAIHTRQ9cUARo-aDyJm1waB81WCd4_qbBev8gDz4vFRla5Ac-OR13mZIkRDuyB85TGHYvj_DARCMZmmD63U7OT8dLWUX-wLdMXpo8oZoaniB1n5P4xdOtoC6/s1500/Max%20Factor%20Facefinity%20Lasting%20Performance%20Foundation%20(2).JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAHwFkFRxPDmUXkA_IE5FtmSVbC6Net1OMVat2KXUjj95u_lnv44ThhHQfPMcF0kBEPAIHTRQ9cUARo-aDyJm1waB81WCd4_qbBev8gDz4vFRla5Ac-OR13mZIkRDuyB85TGHYvj_DARCMZmmD63U7OT8dLWUX-wLdMXpo8oZoaniB1n5P4xdOtoC6/s16000/Max%20Factor%20Facefinity%20Lasting%20Performance%20Foundation%20(2).JPG" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Texture: </span>It's one of the thicker, creamier liquid foundations.

Finish is matte on me, though not drying or in a way that would be already flaky on my dry skin, but I didn't need to take away any shine with a powder even right after application. When I did a before-after picture, I felt my skin looked textured with it, but when I was checking it in the mirror through the day, it looked ok - so it's a foundation that doesn't look as good in pictures as in person. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLFlgm0GmlFvnpTl0NYe5vofLZSpTSebVY2zc1xx8VVAdKZismlMDdOvwoBpu4tVHjb955H3ef7RQn_70YhqZepWLTpOLm6e4QbiCuUzVV-i5MgkDfk8q-Vw31MlQl_AU33MwJqT1FebBvSujwCkxyOkD-BSEaCYkxvG3JALnS0towtR-JcRbmgJix/s1500/Max%20Factor%20Facefinity%20Lasting%20Performance%20Foundation%20(4).JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLFlgm0GmlFvnpTl0NYe5vofLZSpTSebVY2zc1xx8VVAdKZismlMDdOvwoBpu4tVHjb955H3ef7RQn_70YhqZepWLTpOLm6e4QbiCuUzVV-i5MgkDfk8q-Vw31MlQl_AU33MwJqT1FebBvSujwCkxyOkD-BSEaCYkxvG3JALnS0towtR-JcRbmgJix/s16000/Max%20Factor%20Facefinity%20Lasting%20Performance%20Foundation%20(4).JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Staying power: </span>It wore off nicely without becoming patchy anywhere. I wasn't checking the clock though, but since it's matte, it like usually for such formulas held well on my non-oily skin.</div><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Shade: </span>106 Natural Beige is comparable to Revlon's shades starting with 200 in terms of depth, so for light-medium skin tones. There is a shade Porcelain, but we don't have it here and I don't know how light it is. This comes in 16 shades, but here we have a limited selection. <br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Packaging:</span> A basic squeeze tube.

It's too matte for my liking, since my skin is dry, but it's not a drying formula. If you like foundations such as Revlon Colorstay, you may like this too. I prefer their Facefinity 3-in1-foundation which looks beautiful on the skin, it's similarly thick and has more of a satin-matte finish, plus it's available in a shade light enough for me. <div><br /></div><div>Have a great day!</div><div><br /></div><div>*PR product. </div>Matejahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06185854904546395778noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906024651089625186.post-56679700065086347922024-01-31T16:37:00.000+01:002024-01-31T16:37:50.040+01:00January favourites and wishlist<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWH5z52qo5I68TRLjQ4wwJzy7vrKnGA46Ysh690RC1VhNx-H7w56RlwHcWZieCV2iWOZ4ZFIVSK87_P30pdf6ulAnkJfsvAiC5khcyUd4F2ucS5e9ZCZRAqaHWMYgzjBBL0gv8bJcd4Jcaq-4uWt4MbZVBv99PiaR9Q1tE6lTtXkuYCMM75G7zdHSK/s1500/2024%201%20January%20Favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(1).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1125" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWH5z52qo5I68TRLjQ4wwJzy7vrKnGA46Ysh690RC1VhNx-H7w56RlwHcWZieCV2iWOZ4ZFIVSK87_P30pdf6ulAnkJfsvAiC5khcyUd4F2ucS5e9ZCZRAqaHWMYgzjBBL0gv8bJcd4Jcaq-4uWt4MbZVBv99PiaR9Q1tE6lTtXkuYCMM75G7zdHSK/s16000/2024%201%20January%20Favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(1).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOVx0prrp5CfUzHQIePS57ITXteajqFYN0ZIgEDx8Gfp0XSOUDxcYwdxtXc7JV-4ngt39G5c-u_kFGGJ58qeYYyScYBEfwZgi7Cb7Qefwmbin31mSzzEkjQewpme70PjonsKGmqgrI4u-Vy3ypsxNa_k9jiGLaOPeZJUX8Kq8UJIMTx5nwfrwVfK5d/s1500/2024%201%20January%20Favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(2).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOVx0prrp5CfUzHQIePS57ITXteajqFYN0ZIgEDx8Gfp0XSOUDxcYwdxtXc7JV-4ngt39G5c-u_kFGGJ58qeYYyScYBEfwZgi7Cb7Qefwmbin31mSzzEkjQewpme70PjonsKGmqgrI4u-Vy3ypsxNa_k9jiGLaOPeZJUX8Kq8UJIMTx5nwfrwVfK5d/s16000/2024%201%20January%20Favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(2).JPG" /></a></div><p></p><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/11/loreal-paris-colour-riche-les-nus.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-large;">L'OREAL PARIS Colour Riche Les Nus Intense Lipstick </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">173 Nu Impertinent </span></a><br />One of my favourite everyday shades. It's not just the colour, but also the quality of the formula. It feels high-end. It's comfortable, smooth and has great pigmentation. 173 Nu Impertinent is a light nude shade with some peachy and pink tones, which makes it a good colour for defining the lips and for a non-makeup makeup look (on my pale skin tone). I heard recently Nu Impertinent mentioned as a dupe for Pillow Talk, but I can't confirm that myself. Finish is satin-creamy and this formula suits dry lips as well.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXx0M3e3o71HoSzTdXuJDM2XdNfPWIga9r24nISZgLUrvoaZvWanlgv9TFzK4oZTRn6y2geuSmbzYfMG31vUlBtxA4EQGOs4XT0gRU9w7Dm1R9HoGdXp1_g1jQgOdAQM5414NpKFv8QqQDcgSRYHWnDRTviDsJhRcFjXP5jNWbqoXh5wxNpIqiR0Cb/s1500/2024%201%20January%20Favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(3).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXx0M3e3o71HoSzTdXuJDM2XdNfPWIga9r24nISZgLUrvoaZvWanlgv9TFzK4oZTRn6y2geuSmbzYfMG31vUlBtxA4EQGOs4XT0gRU9w7Dm1R9HoGdXp1_g1jQgOdAQM5414NpKFv8QqQDcgSRYHWnDRTviDsJhRcFjXP5jNWbqoXh5wxNpIqiR0Cb/s16000/2024%201%20January%20Favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(3).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/04/new-in-catrice-new-products-spring-2022.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-large;">CATRICE Glow Lover Oil-Infused Highlighter</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">010 Glowing Peony</span></a><br />I mentioned how good the Glow Lover blusher is in the<a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2024/01/best-beauty-finds-in-2023.html" target="_blank"> Best Beauty Finds in 2023 post</a>. This highlighter has been on the shelves longer and it's long been one of my favourites. Shimmer in this is very fine and it's subtle, in fact, in a light coat it even works as an all-over luminous powder. The glow it creates is natural-looking and it doesn't emphasize pores. Shade is neither too cool or too warm, but it is light. <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrOVETfug8ZUKxENtmrGq5FOzvnnlJt16pZcnJMyFcpsNGq122fsHzyk90gtninQfHEKlMEo4pZdcaAReM-h5u1PN0jlX9mqpaBjhO0m4q5UB38ZW0zfvp5LnwMFssvSIpa7Al-HO3jMlOylqBLGiqeHz6YS1oumajgD5Vq2ztFPDNWOx4aqE-UuJE/s1500/2024%201%20January%20Favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(4).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrOVETfug8ZUKxENtmrGq5FOzvnnlJt16pZcnJMyFcpsNGq122fsHzyk90gtninQfHEKlMEo4pZdcaAReM-h5u1PN0jlX9mqpaBjhO0m4q5UB38ZW0zfvp5LnwMFssvSIpa7Al-HO3jMlOylqBLGiqeHz6YS1oumajgD5Vq2ztFPDNWOx4aqE-UuJE/s16000/2024%201%20January%20Favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(4).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask</span> <br /><span style="font-size: large;">Berry</span><br />My skin is very dry at the moment and that includes the lips. I've been using mostly lip oils in the last year, but this mask is an old favourite. It's one of rare lip balms that has the ability to stay on the lips for a long time, in traces I can feel it even in the morning. It does the job so well.<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguTJgRc9oLz57KJg9VlLZPTAn65i3aSQjJNR8Grgr7zLq0-e1ZcFNpqsNXrA6KFD2ME1_LnvcdgM-WT99MdK8Y58D8CXzZqUzo_i5RQekmUiQMafle3_ajgpDt5c1q2YS3TOYYRQKIY3QpxYUaSZHtZyTI4U8wsFRyCu8rmuy6buYJ-eyzgHK5qyns/s1500/2024%201%20January%20Favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(5).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguTJgRc9oLz57KJg9VlLZPTAn65i3aSQjJNR8Grgr7zLq0-e1ZcFNpqsNXrA6KFD2ME1_LnvcdgM-WT99MdK8Y58D8CXzZqUzo_i5RQekmUiQMafle3_ajgpDt5c1q2YS3TOYYRQKIY3QpxYUaSZHtZyTI4U8wsFRyCu8rmuy6buYJ-eyzgHK5qyns/s16000/2024%201%20January%20Favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(5).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">FILORGA Neocica Moisturising Repairing Care </span><br />Like I said my skin is currently very dry and this is the only moisturiser in my drawer that is helping. It's described as a repairing cream, Filorga says it's suitable for use after treatments (laser, peels, injections), on burns and irritated skin (like after shaving). It feels like a nice balm on the skin and creates this protective layer that stays on for a while, which considering my skin is currently absorbing everything with insane speed, is a very good thing. But when it runs out I'll have to find a cheaper alternative, thought this one has a ton of great ingredients.<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbpjTc_9NQDhOhROrdjM90dPu70As_6ZFhHQRZzEC0BrN9KfmLunZ4N2rVOEhJ5Eda8iNdTVnpumiBudJCgrao4j1EgAfvMlCSiQy2J-gIvms17QZfIh3jRzDQZgA4lhoNRpmi56sVRYYkLYuqQLN9x4jppU1b7pHVjQrk4RdPurCmt7BsIInWBdIC/s1500/2024%201%20January%20Favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(6).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbpjTc_9NQDhOhROrdjM90dPu70As_6ZFhHQRZzEC0BrN9KfmLunZ4N2rVOEhJ5Eda8iNdTVnpumiBudJCgrao4j1EgAfvMlCSiQy2J-gIvms17QZfIh3jRzDQZgA4lhoNRpmi56sVRYYkLYuqQLN9x4jppU1b7pHVjQrk4RdPurCmt7BsIInWBdIC/s16000/2024%201%20January%20Favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(6).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">ALVERDE Pflege-ől All-in-One</span><br />My scalp is also dry, so I've been using oils before washing my hair. I've been doing this for many years, but this time I got an oil with a dropper so I can get close to the scalp and not just focus on the lengths. I picked this one because its main ingredient is canola oil, the same as in my fave <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2021/03/new-in-105.html" target="_blank">Palmer's oil </a>that I have to order online (and have been unable to repurchase it). Apart from canola oil, it also has shea butter ethyl esters (my hair
loves shea), vitamin E, coconut oil, sunflower oil and almond oil + some
fragrances. It's not very heavy, but it's not like a dry oil. I've used it for body and it's ok as it's not overly greasy. Compared to <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2021/06/new-in-110.html" target="_blank">Lazartigue hair oil</a>, this is heavier, so not something I'd use a lot of on my ends when they are dry, but as a pre-wash treatment it's nice. It has a gentle, sort of vanillary scent, but it's more bland than that.</p><p style="text-align: center;"> <br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">TANGLE TEEZER The Scalp Exfoliator and Massager </span><br />I pair this with the oil, but I use when my scalp is itchy too. It's not a brush that you'd use for combing, at least it's not as effective as their classic brushes, as the bristles are designed and placed in a way you can massage the scalp. I don't see it as a great exfoliator, I prefer <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2021/12/new-in-115-hair-care-edition.html" target="_blank">Subrina Professional Detox Scrub</a> for that, but it feels nice to use and it should it theory boost blood circulation. The only thing I'm not sold on is the hold, since I have small hands and it's not a tight fit for my size. <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXiM2HAq51XwlmoZLOCDr44r20lOHT5XD7gpP_JD487QGtS3DSTCShV4qCjMS8-5SMXJ7Q73zuKMnNpxFSIWW-a0oZkqYwJECcfJKKJQWTKb8sLKf2Rd3Feofrvp46_tit1ARenQufE3leeeqxNIdzXqZkLHxL3jviFLMQTs0LXvoEJJbIAHmmHhHg/s1500/2024%201%20January%20Favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(7).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXiM2HAq51XwlmoZLOCDr44r20lOHT5XD7gpP_JD487QGtS3DSTCShV4qCjMS8-5SMXJ7Q73zuKMnNpxFSIWW-a0oZkqYwJECcfJKKJQWTKb8sLKf2Rd3Feofrvp46_tit1ARenQufE3leeeqxNIdzXqZkLHxL3jviFLMQTs0LXvoEJJbIAHmmHhHg/s16000/2024%201%20January%20Favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(7).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">SCHWARZKOPF Brilliance Gloss Treatment </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Schoko Braun</span><br />I got this in December and I should have included it in the best beauty finds, but I felt it was too soon. Now I can say I really like this. It matches my dark brown colour so well I don't even know where my roots and coloured hair begin. It's washing off the slowest out of all masks I've tried, so I've had no awkward phases with my semi-washed colour in various cool or warm shades. It's a nicer formula for my hair than <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/06/new-in-131.html" target="_blank">Wella's mask</a> which is not nourishing or softening enough. The fact it matches me so well, since most masks are lighter, means the most to me. But this does mean if you use this shade to refresh a chocolate brown colour depth 6-5, this will turn your hair almost black. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">MOROCCANOIL Dry Shampoo</span><br />I use dry shampoos very occasionally since I don't get greasy hair, I get drier hair the longer I don't wash it. So I'm in general not a fan of dry shampoos because they leave that powdery residue that just make me want to wash the hair, but Moroccanoil is the best formula I've tried. The powder in this is so fine and silky, it genuinely makes my hair feels almost like freshly washed, light and refreshed. The fragrance is also amazing, this is worth as a hair perfume on its own. I have both versions: Light Tones (a very light lavender that should fight yellow tones) and Dark Tones (a more of a medium to dark blonde, not a true brown), but it doesn't matter because when you comb the hair, the tint goes away. <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjARz_tvIzRVz4oqofEmdjZ5Ww4_uT8b0GkRgbFF36s5iO13oaeM_BwFVHMP9jqOCz4jqBdJl1h0rpkdcHiOwOP5IiP2210b4gw2pSQa8OlU5YVZOW_eB69f5_jKXwmiJIellOM_3z94718gRoPKHgLCgwlaaX3DFbajh8rODTVdmM1mdvZ3ETBIgK4/s1500/2024%201%20January%20Favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(8).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjARz_tvIzRVz4oqofEmdjZ5Ww4_uT8b0GkRgbFF36s5iO13oaeM_BwFVHMP9jqOCz4jqBdJl1h0rpkdcHiOwOP5IiP2210b4gw2pSQa8OlU5YVZOW_eB69f5_jKXwmiJIellOM_3z94718gRoPKHgLCgwlaaX3DFbajh8rODTVdmM1mdvZ3ETBIgK4/s16000/2024%201%20January%20Favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(8).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">No heat curls headband</span><br />In my review of <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/12/new-in-135.html" target="_blank">Nivea Care & Hold Soft Touch Mousse</a> I mentioned I now do heatless curls all the time. After so many years of trying different methods I finally found one that has the best results and it's the most comfortable to sleep with. I got this velvet rope/headband on Aliexpress, but I'm sure it's available in many places. It's more comfortable than those<a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2021/06/june-favourites-updates-and-wishlist.html" target="_blank"> thick round satin ones </a>I also have, but it produces very similar results (thick satin one is a bit better, but I prefer comfort). I wrap my hair around it every night, usually without wetting it with a leave-in conditioner, as the mousse does the job even in latter days. Curls look nice and they last all day.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">WISHLIST AND WHAT'S NEW </span><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm8EeuHPcMGHwfH8Rz5eoh_auwe-_8mXETI6Xely_rAcBm87JDLz3RvfovNAjkE6LVSBw4Nuf6o5DytPbaRzIOnCG3_giK8lYpt-40Ns9wgz2f6hCgI-rVItyn2St0Xgcc-X0I1VxoXwFGP4FT7CZYnHge4pvcKW4klmSVrtZpB69s5kJU5u53Rcg_/s2140/2024%201%20January%20Favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(9).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2140" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm8EeuHPcMGHwfH8Rz5eoh_auwe-_8mXETI6Xely_rAcBm87JDLz3RvfovNAjkE6LVSBw4Nuf6o5DytPbaRzIOnCG3_giK8lYpt-40Ns9wgz2f6hCgI-rVItyn2St0Xgcc-X0I1VxoXwFGP4FT7CZYnHge4pvcKW4klmSVrtZpB69s5kJU5u53Rcg_/s16000/2024%201%20January%20Favourites%20and%20wishlist%20(9).jpg" /></a></div> </div><div><b>CATRICE Blush Affair Liquid Blush and ESSENCE Baby Got Blush/Glow liquid blush/highlighter</b> - like every year in February Catrice and Essence have new products. Hopefully the formula blends evenly at both versions. I've got my eye on shade 010 Pink Feelings and maybe 030 at Catrice, while for Essence I don't know the names of the colours yet, but I am looking for a new liquid highlighter, since my Oriflame one dried up and I can't repurchase it. I just hope we get some of the new products here, as Essence stand looks like it's been raided and it's got less than a 1/2 of the products every time I get there for the past year. I haven't even seen all the products from the last update and I had to wait to find one stick blush for months. Clearly there's some major supply issues. <br /><br /><b>ESSENCE Magic Filter Glow Booster </b>- this looks like Essence's version of <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/09/new-in-133-new-catrice-products-autumn.html" target="_blank">Catrice's Soft Glam Filter</a> or CT's Hollywood Filter, so a glowy primer with some possible coverage. I've tested Catrice vs. Charlotte Tilbury and while they are similar, CT is nicer on the skin and is a more high quality formula. </div><div><b> </b></div><div><b>ESSENCE Glossy Jelly Nail Polish</b> - scented nail polishes, but I don't know what the formula or coverage is like. I love scented nail polishes, I don't know why this isn't a bigger thing, but my favourites are from <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2021/11/pupa-vamp-scented-nail-polish-gel-effect.html" target="_blank">Pupa</a>. <br /><br /><b>CHARLOTTE TILBURY Airbrush Flawless Finish</b> - I blame this one of <a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2024/01/2023-favorites.html" target="_blank">Petra from Adjusting Beauty.</a> She says it's worth the price and that it looks great under the eyes. Very few powders look decent on me, as most turn my foundation cakey and just make the situation worse. But it's so expensive and after I was disappointed by <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2019/11/new-in-86.html" target="_blank">Hourglass Ambient powder</a> (and CT Hollywood Filter), I have trust issues with popular HE makeup. <br /><br /><b>CATRICE Drunk'n Diamonds Plumping Lip Balm 050 Bury me in Rubies</b> - this looks like Catrice is trying to possibly dupe the popular Black Honey from Clinique. It's a similar blackened burgundy in a sheer version, but this one has glitter. I'm perfectly happy with my "dupe" <a href="http://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/05/new-in-120.html" target="_blank">Labello/Nivea Blackberry</a>, but it may be an interesting shade to some. I got this formula in a PR parcel when it first launched (<a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/04/new-in-catrice-new-products-spring-2022.html" target="_blank">a pale frosty shade</a>) and it's nothing special in terms of nourishment. <br /><br /><b>CATRICE Lip Lacquer Shine Bomb </b>- fully opaque shiny liquid lipsticks like <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2021/10/revlon-colorstay-satin-ink-liquid.html" target="_blank">Revlon's Satin Ink</a>. I wonder if these are as long lasting as Revlon's. I've already seen these in Müller as a part of the preview for the new products.<br /><br /><b>CATRICE Dream In Holo Blast Nail Polish</b> - it's been a long time since I had a holo nail polish. Essence has a few, including a similar silver one I spotted for the first time last time I was in Múller. I wonder if they will even differ between Catrice's. <br /><br /><b>CATRICE Skin Glaze Hydrating Serum Primer</b> - this promises a skin glass effect. Catrice had a great glowy primer in the past, but they discontinued it. Maybe this is similar. <br /><br /><b>SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule</b> - after reading Petra's (Adjusting Beauty) <a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2024/01/2023-favorites.html" target="_blank">favourites in 2023</a>, several skin care products ended up on my wishlist, not just this one. This brand has lots of products with centella asiatica, one of my favourite ingredients. This ampoule is a 100% Centella Asiatica Extract, but I'm also interested in the cleansing oil and SPF. <br /><br /><b>BALEA Haar Parfum golden Liberty</b> - this might be interesting providing it smells nice. It claims to have some Freshplex technology that neutralises smells. I actually already have a similar product from <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2021/02/new-in-104.html" target="_blank">Aussie</a> and it works a treat. <br /><br /><b>TREACLEMOON Brazilian Love Duschcreme </b>- I hear this smells like Sol De Janeiro Brazillian Bum Bum Cream (Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 62), which I'm a fan off. I'll have to check out if it's true. <br /><b><br />GARNIER SkinActive Fluid Vitamin C Daily UV</b> - Garnier added some more products to their vitamin C line. I'm currently using the <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/12/new-in-135.html" target="_blank">night serum</a> or trying to as often as I can, though the "selftan" scent that develops at high concentrations of ascorbic acid is so annoying. This has an SPF 50, a peptide, hyaluronic acid, adenoside and low on the list Ascorbyl Glucoside, a stable version of vitamin C. <br /></div>Matejahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06185854904546395778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906024651089625186.post-59837968220930895842024-01-18T18:32:00.000+01:002024-01-18T18:32:54.512+01:00NAJ OLEARI Absolute Stay Eyeshadow 04 Golden Brown & 05 Pearly Taupe<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirQwVLSGhYupb188UP0lA03jEfHcPwXffRw_T5rZ9aoPhCKw5XAeLHUfiD4hkltjH1JwBxTI-dLt8VrBIYRRTsICJDQtBiDRuicvPjKRJFu6wSmaxEEdpaYJvnrmuTOEJpwlYVNUqQEJWIrKqiWm2j7Y3Oy5a71EsqhmLPnHdQ_6LC6S3oDaDH_Rxn/s1500/NAJ%20OLEARI%20Absolute%20Stay%20Eyeshadow%2004%20Golden%20Brown%20&%2005%20Pearly%20Taupe%20(1).JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirQwVLSGhYupb188UP0lA03jEfHcPwXffRw_T5rZ9aoPhCKw5XAeLHUfiD4hkltjH1JwBxTI-dLt8VrBIYRRTsICJDQtBiDRuicvPjKRJFu6wSmaxEEdpaYJvnrmuTOEJpwlYVNUqQEJWIrKqiWm2j7Y3Oy5a71EsqhmLPnHdQ_6LC6S3oDaDH_Rxn/s16000/NAJ%20OLEARI%20Absolute%20Stay%20Eyeshadow%2004%20Golden%20Brown%20&%2005%20Pearly%20Taupe%20(1).JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Naj Oleari is an Italian brand that has existed for decades, but I've never heard of it until a stand appeared in my local Müller some years back. For a long time I didn't try anything from this brand, mainly because no one (here) talks about it, prices are quite high and I had no idea what's good, but I tested these cream eyeshadows when I was trying to find new cream eyeshadows to replace my old ones and this formula instantly impressed me. <br /></div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAS2HpCPpDnK_kwRSgEFD4B943OM6mscELFzqWNO_yGSRCj3cgyXfNRWO8c5q_3XxahkMezs0fLK1QDec9rb9_XfoUI4-T0kNUDg5qLl0afCcbim9o4m917lea9mm5ywZOBzyl7BfV5DTpiob4DKq4AsehsNVvRvJZ8YamFNvT1U_L_FJMxTasam90/s1500/NAJ%20OLEARI%20Absolute%20Stay%20Eyeshadow%2004%20Golden%20Brown%20&%2005%20Pearly%20Taupe%20(2).JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAS2HpCPpDnK_kwRSgEFD4B943OM6mscELFzqWNO_yGSRCj3cgyXfNRWO8c5q_3XxahkMezs0fLK1QDec9rb9_XfoUI4-T0kNUDg5qLl0afCcbim9o4m917lea9mm5ywZOBzyl7BfV5DTpiob4DKq4AsehsNVvRvJZ8YamFNvT1U_L_FJMxTasam90/s16000/NAJ%20OLEARI%20Absolute%20Stay%20Eyeshadow%2004%20Golden%20Brown%20&%2005%20Pearly%20Taupe%20(2).JPG" /></a><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Formula is very creamy, yet no too soft and it has instant opaque colour payoff. I can get enough colour on my eyelids quickly and when I blend it, it's easy to make a soft transition and blending doesn't take away much intensity, so there's no need to build it up and repeat the process as with many cheap cream eyeshadows. They are basically Kiko's dupes, which is nice to know that I have something like that in a local drugstore. Overall the Golden Brown is a better quality. It contains very small shimmer and doesn't crease on me, while Pearl Taupe is less reliable. The latter has larger glitter particles and colour tends to gather around those sparkles, so it can crease, but it never such a tragedy as Catrice's eyeshadows and colour doesn't fade much by the end of the day. <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWZ_zWp5Pd8YQZnud4NBllSCehfY4-qbyFuS080vVrxj6AMxOpNaBFmq_jS0jbqWuC3Jwsvc9Zm6wji-R3XCLo9JzY59bTVnV8DxVkPJte5i9cEYr2799OGL4hs-NyoCl2Jn4cmUIgM14MtxrMtgxc-omuZ2r0DAG7V_tHbCu7gQZw7g4-_SeJNeSC/s1046/NAJ%20OLEARI%20Absolute%20Stay%20Eyeshadow%2004%20Golden%20Brown%20&%2005%20Pearly%20Taupe%20(3).JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWZ_zWp5Pd8YQZnud4NBllSCehfY4-qbyFuS080vVrxj6AMxOpNaBFmq_jS0jbqWuC3Jwsvc9Zm6wji-R3XCLo9JzY59bTVnV8DxVkPJte5i9cEYr2799OGL4hs-NyoCl2Jn4cmUIgM14MtxrMtgxc-omuZ2r0DAG7V_tHbCu7gQZw7g4-_SeJNeSC/s16000/NAJ%20OLEARI%20Absolute%20Stay%20Eyeshadow%2004%20Golden%20Brown%20&%2005%20Pearly%20Taupe%20(3).JPG" /></a><br /></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Golden Brown is a classic bronze shade many brands have and I had many dupes or at least similar shades (Kiko's even has the same name).

To be fair they are very similar to Kiko's which are cheaper, but I don't remember Kiko's blending quite as nicely as these. I'm interested in one of the lighter shades - they have a matte one that looks like a base and two shimmery ones, one pink and the other champagne. I got these when they were 20% off, which actually happens relatively often at this brand (I ordered on Douglas.si on Black Friday)<br /><br />Have a great day!</div>Matejahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06185854904546395778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906024651089625186.post-37031239664368945682024-01-09T16:19:00.001+01:002024-01-09T16:19:25.236+01:00MAYBELLINE SuperStay Vitamin C Skin Tint Serum<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjFHnXOAa4Y3szZYrc3HK253UWSswjNPEXM2QwT9xjBb9yhE6OwMWLHMTL8J1Eh0sRwk43-OFVYLPKjbA-D8BnVSZKUvL7KJw4RWs6IMsa3ZT_TKIY4me0GDawrhjmX0RxlsiLNtULX4BVYhCv7YNFZovNAjsw_vMap7fTNH6JMNLx9BkpdNpHts1d/s1500/MAYBELLINE%20SuperStay%20Vitamin%20C%20Skin%20Tint%20Serum%2002%20(1).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1125" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjFHnXOAa4Y3szZYrc3HK253UWSswjNPEXM2QwT9xjBb9yhE6OwMWLHMTL8J1Eh0sRwk43-OFVYLPKjbA-D8BnVSZKUvL7KJw4RWs6IMsa3ZT_TKIY4me0GDawrhjmX0RxlsiLNtULX4BVYhCv7YNFZovNAjsw_vMap7fTNH6JMNLx9BkpdNpHts1d/s16000/MAYBELLINE%20SuperStay%20Vitamin%20C%20Skin%20Tint%20Serum%2002%20(1).JPG" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I have been struggling with this foundation since I got it months ago. My first impression was disappointment because I expected a lot given that I love their Fit Me Matte + Poreless and Dream Urban Cover foundations, so I was really looking forward to this launch. I've been trying this with different bases and in different conditions and we continue to have our ups and down - well, decent days and not so good days. It's one of the new serum foundations, so those formulas that are meant to be very lightweight and contain skin care ingredients. This one has a small amount of Ascorbyl Glucoside, a stable version of vitamin C, but that's about it. What's unique about it is the tiny shimmer that you can see in the packaging, however, it doesn't make the skin look sparkly in any light. <br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5nt2gaEycmK1RrtPpg1IHfS0fjhIrwBOWAEu-abG7WYw4Bd3clDiAhzcJgqNY4XkRNeZbRBUt9P-5j3NS51zlAdKBWNePUJ2YxvpQD-q4y30AZrOSS2Fx0lIda2ckCUeHlGXUHE3BKL4BrYJFMVTo90t9gdctSybznpnmBeDiPTZ_S0-RV-68eAVF/s1500/MAYBELLINE%20SuperStay%20Vitamin%20C%20Skin%20Tint%20Serum%2002%20(2).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5nt2gaEycmK1RrtPpg1IHfS0fjhIrwBOWAEu-abG7WYw4Bd3clDiAhzcJgqNY4XkRNeZbRBUt9P-5j3NS51zlAdKBWNePUJ2YxvpQD-q4y30AZrOSS2Fx0lIda2ckCUeHlGXUHE3BKL4BrYJFMVTo90t9gdctSybznpnmBeDiPTZ_S0-RV-68eAVF/s16000/MAYBELLINE%20SuperStay%20Vitamin%20C%20Skin%20Tint%20Serum%2002%20(2).JPG" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Texture:</span> It's a light liquid foundation formula, similar to their Fit Me Matte + Poreless, so quite thin. I've tried applying it with different methods and I prefer my usual dry sponge with it. This foundation has often made my skin look much more textured than it is without foundation. It can sink into pores, emphasizing them, as well as making the lines appear deeper. Something similar happens to me with most such serum foundations (most notably both Catrice such liquid formulas, HD Coverage and Skin Tint). Maybelline's Fit Me Matte + Poreless is nicer as it manages to create a smoother look over pores. Superstay also doesn't work well with thick coats of SPF, exception I found so far is Biore which has a velvet-primer like finish. Over SPFs I've experienced it becoming flaky at application, peeling in places. <br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXfSV02YM0sf-V2Sh6U24VTrlSpZXfjpwSRz5fIORLfN-0buRm3nApaKib6EXTxt-gPIpCyyGc4SBxROKoHFBdIzC0oTt0aFuozyD-n1UzTuBjD1Few-sIpcpWwTaX8mc5o1rzZhkFeY4I4V_Kn-6OL-Sepbp8O24kvy64qYX7nunLrPbdyHzP_2B0/s1500/MAYBELLINE%20SuperStay%20Vitamin%20C%20Skin%20Tint%20Serum%2002%20(3).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXfSV02YM0sf-V2Sh6U24VTrlSpZXfjpwSRz5fIORLfN-0buRm3nApaKib6EXTxt-gPIpCyyGc4SBxROKoHFBdIzC0oTt0aFuozyD-n1UzTuBjD1Few-sIpcpWwTaX8mc5o1rzZhkFeY4I4V_Kn-6OL-Sepbp8O24kvy64qYX7nunLrPbdyHzP_2B0/s16000/MAYBELLINE%20SuperStay%20Vitamin%20C%20Skin%20Tint%20Serum%2002%20(3).JPG" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Coverage and finish:</span> Coverage is low. With one layer it's more like a tinted moisturiser and just evens out the skin. I need an extra layer or a separate concealer under my eyes and the sides of my nose - most of my freckles are also visible. It can be built up easily. Finish is unique, as it sets matte on me (dry skin), but the formula contains extra fine shimmer, so the skin is matte, yet glowy from that highlighter in it. From far away it looks great, but from close up you can see the texture. <br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlv7AYql2qPkSrbNXVtvpVnWu5ZonpVbUdVzn1neChYoaMsCNQMQHwyENORnOyVtrhfKRBUV0LjX3Cfy-ZVsyBYW63WvtAX93wsDsVIPyvEGZYAFJ0iOVCvEjXssBctL8o7wPziekRmSCZ5v6VJu_WCvh9CikTuJDdlI8rDC_oREtj0z7SOI52E7vf/s2000/MAYBELLINE%20SuperStay%20Vitamin%20C%20Skin%20Tint%20Serum%2002%20(4).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="2000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlv7AYql2qPkSrbNXVtvpVnWu5ZonpVbUdVzn1neChYoaMsCNQMQHwyENORnOyVtrhfKRBUV0LjX3Cfy-ZVsyBYW63WvtAX93wsDsVIPyvEGZYAFJ0iOVCvEjXssBctL8o7wPziekRmSCZ5v6VJu_WCvh9CikTuJDdlI8rDC_oREtj0z7SOI52E7vf/s16000/MAYBELLINE%20SuperStay%20Vitamin%20C%20Skin%20Tint%20Serum%2002%20(4).jpg" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Staying power:</span> It lasts ok, which isn't surprisingly for a matte foundation on a dry skin.

The shade matches me perfectly, so that's a big plus on its own. It's a foundation for those that like low coverage and it's a light-feeling formula with a glowy-dewy finish. It's one of the more hydrating formulas I own and it has an SPF 35+.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/10/new-in-134.html" target="_blank">MAX FACTOR Facefinity All Day Flawless 3 in 1 Primer, Concealer & Foundation</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/10/new-in-134.html" target="_blank">C40 Light Ivory</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This is a big improvement upon the previous formula and it's one of the nicest looking foundations I've tried, especially on pictures.

Coverage is about medium, finish is matte on my dry skin and despite the thick, creamy texture it blends seamlessly, especially with the help of the Real Techniques sponge.

Pinks tend to look too warm on me, so they end up looking peachy, but this one is a true pink, which makes it a rarity in my collection. It creates a proper baby doll flush. Though it is in stick form, which means you can just swipe it on the cheeks if you wish, I find it's better to use to brush, as formula is more on the hard side and it can shift the foundation. It smells like watermelon.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/12/melem-lips-cheeks-2in1-tinted-lip-balm.html" target="_blank">MELEM lip & Cheek</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/12/melem-lips-cheeks-2in1-tinted-lip-balm.html" target="_blank">Dreamy Rose & Fresh Magnolia</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">A lip balm/lipstick-blush hybrids. I often use lipsticks as blushes when I'm on the way or in a hurry and usually they aren't easy to blend - these Melem formulas work well on lips and cheeks. They blend easily and don't feel greasy, despite being nourishing lips balms. On the lips the colour payoff is like from a classic moisturising lipstick. Though both have a great pigmentation, Fresh Magnolia is more intense and while I need two big swipes on the cheeks of Dreamy Rose, I need to be careful with Fresh Magnolia not to overdo it because it can look too much quickly. These are great for keeping in the bag or a pocket.</div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsyOJSpxTGsRKN4Uxpk3OFiAG2-L1kkxwVoxEpT1645T_wWKOAeQBbnO4fuQGcwsesAP06NPwMueE7cd-iNT8_GCQidBFrjVrs7OVEUKxPLE3JFv5WBU7UQLh0rwdew3N1agmNwdHDrd1BM1uQkzVLLT3GreO-PDjpBWdzxEY0VCfZ8YnrWfEN5ukN/s1500/Best%20Beauty%20Finds%20in%202023%20(5).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsyOJSpxTGsRKN4Uxpk3OFiAG2-L1kkxwVoxEpT1645T_wWKOAeQBbnO4fuQGcwsesAP06NPwMueE7cd-iNT8_GCQidBFrjVrs7OVEUKxPLE3JFv5WBU7UQLh0rwdew3N1agmNwdHDrd1BM1uQkzVLLT3GreO-PDjpBWdzxEY0VCfZ8YnrWfEN5ukN/s16000/Best%20Beauty%20Finds%20in%202023%20(5).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/02/new-in-127-catrice-new-products-for.html" target="_blank">CATRICE Holiday Skin Bronze & Glow Palette</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/02/new-in-127-catrice-new-products-for.html" target="_blank">010 Out of Office</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Both powders are great quality in this palette. The bronzer side is matte, has a great smooth formula that blends out easily and is a good shade that's not orange, so it suits me as a contour (although it's not cool or ashy like popular shades for contouring pale skin). The highlighter is a classic champagne shade with fine shimmer that looks natural. I've been mostly using the highlighter, as it has such a nice healthy-looking effect. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/03/new-in-129.html" target="_blank">CATRICE Cheek Lover Marbled Blush </a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/03/new-in-129.html" target="_blank">10 Dahlia Blossom</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">One of the best drugstore blushes I've tried, very similar to the discontinued L.O.V. blushes and better than Milani's Baked Blushes. Pigmentation is intense, so on my pale skin I need a light layer of it. Formula blends smoothly. Shade, which is currently the only one that exists, is a type of peachy-pink that's a lot more pink than peach. It has tiny shimmer in it that adds a glow, but since it's so pigmented and I need to apply little of it, the shimmer/highlighter effect isn't that intense on me - it should be nicely glowy on deeper skin tones (I apply Catrice's fantastic <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/04/new-in-catrice-new-products-spring-2022.html" target="_blank">Glow Lover Oil-Infused Highlighter </a>over it for more glow). </div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMyjoN1MJMXmiIs5t92mo61o-z5T0JakG9TV4P37dFXpMhA9AQ-keaxGxk1OwkpB5t_c91-I_XNQUY6Y9XU9HIFIz7l2Z3Z20FgbAmKesi2wACUMxytOR-unG3Po0Y3HNDdzGwKSG5658onU7BwNofQG91-yY74qfWvg_jiHYwq0Eq3FJRcUZCQkwl/s1500/Best%20Beauty%20Finds%20in%202023%20(6).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMyjoN1MJMXmiIs5t92mo61o-z5T0JakG9TV4P37dFXpMhA9AQ-keaxGxk1OwkpB5t_c91-I_XNQUY6Y9XU9HIFIz7l2Z3Z20FgbAmKesi2wACUMxytOR-unG3Po0Y3HNDdzGwKSG5658onU7BwNofQG91-yY74qfWvg_jiHYwq0Eq3FJRcUZCQkwl/s16000/Best%20Beauty%20Finds%20in%202023%20(6).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/07/bourjois-little-round-pot-blusher-34.html" target="_blank">BOURJOIS Little Round Pot Blusher </a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/07/bourjois-little-round-pot-blusher-34.html" target="_blank">34 Rose D'or</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I've never liked Bourjois blushes, but this shade changed my mind. It's not very pigmented and I need to apply a lot of it with a dense brush, but the effect is lovely. It's a pink shade with that shimmery glow that makes the skin look so fresh. It's one of the most long lasting formulas on the cheeks.

It's very smooth on the cheeks, has good pigmentation and it lasts well on the skin. The shade is a pretty basic peachy pink, but these types of shades are universal and suit so many skin tones. It has a slight glow to it with tiny shimmer. The packaging is gorgeous, a high-end looking rose gold and it comes with a velvet pouch and a brush. </div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnfYBuFmCWoJmZFOIq3ymkNwyXg84aACTLDMOSQFca9W9zfppJdkcrvRmt5Fuc-fddGyB6v3ixGKBdgKuvSa1p_XdhIbmV99Fqx7p_1fdFaLUnsQ_7JVJ5yr7bI92G3XR7EEBeAwNQ7wyr2yvbhST8HNS3YB296Z81KW_k9R3uUl1tODrz49Kg93Ip/s1500/Best%20Beauty%20Finds%20in%202023%20(7).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnfYBuFmCWoJmZFOIq3ymkNwyXg84aACTLDMOSQFca9W9zfppJdkcrvRmt5Fuc-fddGyB6v3ixGKBdgKuvSa1p_XdhIbmV99Fqx7p_1fdFaLUnsQ_7JVJ5yr7bI92G3XR7EEBeAwNQ7wyr2yvbhST8HNS3YB296Z81KW_k9R3uUl1tODrz49Kg93Ip/s16000/Best%20Beauty%20Finds%20in%202023%20(7).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/10/new-in-124-essence-autumnwinter-202223.html" target="_blank">ESSENCE Lash Like a Boss Mascara Waterproof</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This didn't impress me when it was freshly opened, but with time it became a top performer. Waterproof mascaras often have dry formulas that don't create much volume, but this one rivals regular formulas. It adds plenty of volume, even more length and defines the lashes, though when it was new it was definition where it performed poorly. It holds my lashes curled well. It's actually very similar to my favourite Essence's I <3 Extreme formula, but the brush is smaller. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/10/new-in-134.html" target="_blank">MILANI COSMETICS Stay Put Eyeliner</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I thought <a href="http://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2019/07/maybelline-tattoo-liner-gel-pencil.html" target="_blank">Maybelline's Tattoo eyeliner</a> is unbeatable, but this is even better. It's the blackest, most intense pencil eyeliner I've tried so far. It's such a deep black and it manages to stay in the waterline even at the end of the day and it's only somewhat faded. It's not as creamy as Maybelline's, so it doesn't glide quite as smoothly on the top lash line, but the line it creates is intense and it stays put. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/02/new-in-128.html" target="_blank">ETUDE HOUSE Tear Eye Liner</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/02/new-in-128.html" target="_blank">01 White</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">A liquid glittery eyeliner with about medium density shimmer. Colour is kind of holographic with shimmer that reflects different colours, though base colour is silver. It looks so pretty in the inner corners and it adds something extra to the look. I don't need to build it up much, as you get plenty of shimmer with one swipe and it tends to last long, though I'm not very careful about rubbing my eyes and I manage to remove it. The applicator is a thin brush that's precise.</div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixwHPjDGOq0MAigSbEzCbF1iEJ2JxEEItSBa-CASpbVFTW9FQu32R7J9hb4lHJKKjR83pSqyWiSrzzkYljNN3Nvm2cgkGyd36Adbi5L4fMAevGu44i4iBQRODwrCynSpQimaPN6yaiBMOP_lDexiIig9T-a0bf1aU_WvilSnAfKFPp6_X5BAAAAXke/s1500/Best%20Beauty%20Finds%20in%202023%20(8).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixwHPjDGOq0MAigSbEzCbF1iEJ2JxEEItSBa-CASpbVFTW9FQu32R7J9hb4lHJKKjR83pSqyWiSrzzkYljNN3Nvm2cgkGyd36Adbi5L4fMAevGu44i4iBQRODwrCynSpQimaPN6yaiBMOP_lDexiIig9T-a0bf1aU_WvilSnAfKFPp6_X5BAAAAXke/s16000/Best%20Beauty%20Finds%20in%202023%20(8).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/11/revlon-colorstay-suede-ink-lipstick.html" target="_blank">REVLON Colorstay Suede Ink Lipstick</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">My favourite lipsticks. <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2021/04/oriflame-one-unlimited-ultra-fix.html" target="_blank">Oriflame's The One Unlimited Ultra Fix Lipstick</a> formula, my previous faves, are very similar, but Revlon's lipsticks are more opaque and available in prettier shades. They are a one-swipe lip colour and once they set on the lips, they don't wipe off or smudge, they just stay in their place like a liquid matte lipstick. Formula is thin and matte, so don't expect any nourishment from these. I can handle them fine and don't find them drying, but some may want to use a lip balm under or over them. I'm a big fan of 001 Gut Instinct, which is a colour similar to my natural lips. It looks more peachy in the tube, but on the lips it's more neutral. I also really like 002 No Rules, which is a deeper nude and 008 That Girl, a light pink shade. 005 Hot Girl is also a nice shade, despite looking so warm in the tube.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/10/new-in-134.html" target="_blank">BOURJOIS Velvet The Pencil</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I have all five shades that are sold here, but 03 In Mauve Again is a big favourite of mine. It's the perfect neutral pink. These are one-swipe lip colours, so well pigmented, also very creamy and don't drag on the lips. They are matte, but not dry/fully matte, so they feel comfortable, however, they aren't nourishing/moisturising. I wouldn't say they are transfer-proof, like Revlon's, but they last on the lips well.</div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_1NJBHikeSB9ICHeGsQ7aFV1D9rwuH25p3Dg320saQx1G6jZ_Ig8aP4pzBig4og_P3WDJWVdqMdSIv9IuUdAgNwnfapHHjyErr309gzjGrJIvB8N3J3wxjadHcROEJl6JfQjbUrBDZWhyphenhyphen11hEJ0XxrzHnMExml0oCHvRf-gcci5YXZ5C4oLkvYcjO/s1500/Best%20Beauty%20Finds%20in%202023%20(9).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_1NJBHikeSB9ICHeGsQ7aFV1D9rwuH25p3Dg320saQx1G6jZ_Ig8aP4pzBig4og_P3WDJWVdqMdSIv9IuUdAgNwnfapHHjyErr309gzjGrJIvB8N3J3wxjadHcROEJl6JfQjbUrBDZWhyphenhyphen11hEJ0XxrzHnMExml0oCHvRf-gcci5YXZ5C4oLkvYcjO/s16000/Best%20Beauty%20Finds%20in%202023%20(9).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/09/new-in-133-new-catrice-products-autumn.html" target="_blank">CATRICE Glossin' Glow Tinted Lip Oil</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Now these are glosses in a proper sense of the word. They are very thick and rich, not sticky, they feel nourishing, they stay on for a long time, have a great level of glossy shine and feel like an oily gloss. The shine lasts better than at many glosses. There are several shades, on the pic is 010 Keep it Juicy, a midly pH reacting shade. <br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/02/new-in-127-catrice-new-products-for.html" target="_blank">CATRICE Plump it Up Lip Booster </a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I'm more of a fan of the 040 shade (left), but the formula of both is lovely. They are a bit richer and thicker than glosses usually are, but they are not sticky. The shine level is intense and these manage to hold on for a while, by that I mean longer than an average lip gloss (not like Glossin's Glow, but good). It's a Catrice formula that tingles, like many do, but it's not strong and it doesn't last - it's more cooling than tingling. 040 is a beautiful my-lips-but-better colour that is quite opaque. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg61-lmggk55moAVpqoQ-RIgZROzOtDS4G9jPWTFk6rhKof0Vgw-MpC7KLolMCdVcyZMACjb0o4TeQfDJCluWX8cClybhgojxI1H_rqjDCmzqJ8TL1u5dxsGlqFgujOH-PjBKfM6fDB9WDnGE-Vuxo8B71bDyI6xPsx7m97svbtxtUdjNsuaSMar7Qj/s1500/Best%20Beauty%20Finds%20in%202023%20(3).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg61-lmggk55moAVpqoQ-RIgZROzOtDS4G9jPWTFk6rhKof0Vgw-MpC7KLolMCdVcyZMACjb0o4TeQfDJCluWX8cClybhgojxI1H_rqjDCmzqJ8TL1u5dxsGlqFgujOH-PjBKfM6fDB9WDnGE-Vuxo8B71bDyI6xPsx7m97svbtxtUdjNsuaSMar7Qj/s16000/Best%20Beauty%20Finds%20in%202023%20(3).JPG" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="white-space: normal;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">REAL TECHNIQUES Miracle Complexion Sponge</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This really is a good as everyone says. I've used cheaper sponges for years and this is better. It's very soft and I find the large flat area especially useful for blending foundation. It doesn't absorb too much foundation, even when used dry and it makes the foundation look so flawless, by that I mean looking natural. It's a little bit better when used wet, but it works dry as well. </div></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmpcKlPatUIbY_TjbHts3u76TsknKldtj8R-iBzi0UM8fTMEmGE98vh2MGey9wfisLiKnn6xeHehP6bBIjEpI20VOeJ8ac4Ry9AxYR4Fo9keCxQzcJCDq_1_sNyL_zpNXQkW2WO6eCeyFWb7qXONZFPpK56GXYLlUaU-yJj9mZ0_KFpNiPDV4Z4OZn/s1500/Best%20Beauty%20Finds%20in%202023%20(10).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmpcKlPatUIbY_TjbHts3u76TsknKldtj8R-iBzi0UM8fTMEmGE98vh2MGey9wfisLiKnn6xeHehP6bBIjEpI20VOeJ8ac4Ry9AxYR4Fo9keCxQzcJCDq_1_sNyL_zpNXQkW2WO6eCeyFWb7qXONZFPpK56GXYLlUaU-yJj9mZ0_KFpNiPDV4Z4OZn/s16000/Best%20Beauty%20Finds%20in%202023%20(10).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">A'PIEU Madecassoside Fluid 2x</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This replaced Geek & Gorgeous Stress Less Serum in my routine, which was my skin barrier repairing product and I still love it. Just like the latter it contains Madecassoside and Beta-Glucan, but also 30% of centella asiatica leaf water, ceramides, panthenol, aloe vera and several extracts. The packaging has a generous 300 ml, so that's a big plus compared to the G&G serum. Formula feels similar to the Cosrx Propolis toner in a sense that it's richer than a watery toner, so it instantly alleviates the tight feeling when my skin feels thirsty. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">COSRX Full Fit Toner Propolis Synergy</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This is just a mini because I didn't want to commit to a full size, but 50 ml has lasted me a long time. It's a toner that contains 72.6% of Black bee Propolis extract and 10% Honey extract. The texture is nice - thicker than toner, but not as thick as a serum. My skin likes propolis products, as they keep it looking good and add a healthy glow. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">A'PIEU Honey & Milk Lip Oil</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">A thick lip gloss that isn't sticky and it just lasts on the lips for ages - it can survive overnight and it nourishes the lips. It's nicely glossy, though like all glosses the shine eventually fades, but there's plenty of product left to care for the lips. It has no scent and the applicator is a big doe foot. Overall this is similar to the Catrice Glossin' Glow, but less glossy. </div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_S61u5v6-T_YynOV43181MpLRK41NmFyOmXdaoZc9TDOCUJnh0aIMB7hMU4eJwHLGJ2QZUXgiX1mzNYY7FuWCPgbJ1DibF5VZIuuyCkFyKIo2rtMB6CvvdfXhHeYt2nVf374HRiLoedHv8dqKD6mz4M_K3xuvpCXiaei51REpGPUvAX_JViprI7RY/s1500/Best%20Beauty%20Finds%20in%202023%20(11).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_S61u5v6-T_YynOV43181MpLRK41NmFyOmXdaoZc9TDOCUJnh0aIMB7hMU4eJwHLGJ2QZUXgiX1mzNYY7FuWCPgbJ1DibF5VZIuuyCkFyKIo2rtMB6CvvdfXhHeYt2nVf374HRiLoedHv8dqKD6mz4M_K3xuvpCXiaei51REpGPUvAX_JViprI7RY/s16000/Best%20Beauty%20Finds%20in%202023%20(11).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">REDKEN Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This has such a lovely rich and thick formula. It produces a dense foam and doesn't feel like a sulphate-free formula - it's a joy to use. Redken says that it reinforces weakened bonds, but it's not a miraculous product, at least on my hair. I just like that it doesn't leave my hair stripped or tangled - I don't think I can expect much more on my thick hair from a shampoo that's washed off quickly, but I enjoy using this formula and it probably does help prevent some breakage (since the hair isn't tangled after use), adjusts pH and leaves the hair somewhat conditioned. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/10/new-in-134.html" target="_blank">MOROCCANOIL Color Deposing Mask </a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/10/new-in-134.html" target="_blank">Cocoa</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I've spend a bit part of the year colouring my bleached blonde hair with temporary colours to match my dark roots and to give my hair a break from proper colours. Most masks I've tried are made for hair that isn't that demanding in terms of nourishing, so they left my hair stiff and it became dry quickly. This finally made my hair feel normal and it was so worth splurging on. It leaves my hair feeling soft and silky, it's shinier than with other colour masks and manageable. Colour is quite deep and looks warm, but it washes off towards purple and grey, so it's not the nicest and I prefer colour results I got from other brands, but I add some warm orange or red colour as the colour is washing off. Colour lasts about 6 washes, but due to grey tones, I was itching to dye it again after a third wash - it's not ideal for covering for example blonde bayalage, but it will hide red tones that appear as brown shades are washing off. </div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0dfPShZvi0u6GpDPr2YmZ-UJD9vIEchF_o6flzVi_H5E4cq_a_99zhpPcuX0wiCTpLZPpBUdIvOTcEuRbavfWpYRup89uTwLuYJY-YA6U8pvrOAq_T5OvDhbYamxI9ZSccanG9dQyShhSHqQgsZzDwsR9D8H6M8nHVTOv0LcfTVD4AUhlYCIojgWn/s1500/Best%20Beauty%20Finds%20in%202023%20(12).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0dfPShZvi0u6GpDPr2YmZ-UJD9vIEchF_o6flzVi_H5E4cq_a_99zhpPcuX0wiCTpLZPpBUdIvOTcEuRbavfWpYRup89uTwLuYJY-YA6U8pvrOAq_T5OvDhbYamxI9ZSccanG9dQyShhSHqQgsZzDwsR9D8H6M8nHVTOv0LcfTVD4AUhlYCIojgWn/s16000/Best%20Beauty%20Finds%20in%202023%20(12).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">MOROCCANOIL Smoothing Lotion</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Moroccanoil has the best products for frizzy hair. Before I tried this, I was already a fan of the Smoothing Mask, Conditioner and Concentrate. It's a cream product that doesn't feel heavy and it makes my hair feel so silky. Together with the Smoothing Conditioner my hair dries frizz free and softer. This is a travel size, while the full size comes in a 300 ml bottle with a pump. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">MOROCCANOIL Frizz Shield Spray</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Another great anti-frizz product by Moroccanoil. This one need to be activated by heat and it helps me achieve a smoother blowout. It's like as water, yet it hydrates my very dry hair well and it leaves it softer. The best thing about this spray is that it helps protect against humidity (up to 90%). I've been caught in a rain several times by now and my hair didn't go all puffy, nor did my curls drop. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">NIVEA Care & Hold Soft Touch Caring Mousse</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">A game changer. This literary feels like nothing is on the hair. I don't know how they managed to do that, but it holds volume all day - actually days. Curls made with a blow dryer last as long too and without a mousse they are gone within minutes that's why I always preferred using curling wands that use more heat. In the next days, the hair feels normal, it's not any dryer, more stiff or anything, it's like it's easily brushed out of the hair. I'm genuinely impressed. Plus it has heat protection. I use this at every hair wash now. My overnight curls now actually last and I can "redo them" over the week without having to wash my hair. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVcjV1zqUY29tE35YWMa5t2Rs8tH2Aw7WltCdL0dZWV6m-rkZjndx_wn-3Za1urVJNiYwz2BClRbAL8j0tNfgxUgKdv5kbwLjivsy7GdGwU-3SBnXvYrVnrW9pvycFzBFK3CUvHwAm4PFxhL3iqyTbF897ZjEFFUrBA-WsBX2ybeHaIkwXATym8eQI/s1500/Best%20Beauty%20Finds%20in%202023%20(13).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVcjV1zqUY29tE35YWMa5t2Rs8tH2Aw7WltCdL0dZWV6m-rkZjndx_wn-3Za1urVJNiYwz2BClRbAL8j0tNfgxUgKdv5kbwLjivsy7GdGwU-3SBnXvYrVnrW9pvycFzBFK3CUvHwAm4PFxhL3iqyTbF897ZjEFFUrBA-WsBX2ybeHaIkwXATym8eQI/s16000/Best%20Beauty%20Finds%20in%202023%20(13).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">CERAVE Reparative Hand Cream</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Best hand cream I've tried so far.

They discontinued their <a href="http://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.si/2015/09/bourjois-healthy-mix-serum-foundation.html" target="_blank">Serum </a>formula a while ago, a foundation I used for years and now they released a new "serum" version, this time the skin care/foundation hybrid that so many brands launched in the last years. Shade range is lacking, as they have two 51 shades and no 50 that I use at HM foundation, so none of the shades match me. I wear 51,2W as it's less warm toned than 51, but it's still noticeably too dark. Formula is thin, very light and it blends easily without setting too quickly. Coverage is light-medium, finish is glowy from the start, but on my dry skin it eventually becomes matte. Compared to the Foundation, the Serum covers less, but it's not that big of a difference. For me the main difference is that the Serum doesn't make my skin look as smooth as the foundation. Such thin formulas in general don't work well on my skin, I don't know why, though this one looks better than <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/07/new-in-132.html" target="_blank">Maybelline's</a> and <a href="http://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/02/new-in-127-catrice-new-products-for.html" target="_blank">Catrice's </a>versions. Bourjois has been slowly and sneakily raising their prices over the decade I've been buying HM, so this new foundation is almost 20 € in Slovenia - you can't really call it drugstore anymore. It's 16,5 € in France. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvdRMMB_OrmFndlCPgAwvtcZ7HdcWKg8iM2p8aVJU1CV1HA03dIxew7S3Uk5CWFP7E8y2XoWdRVAoh4CZ_ZcE7f4F4pjkFkKzqtYckA3zMunELOX4lxgU5n3hdyyNXGCp1hceiF0KBmIM7telszQ4PxzcEaEa_wJH0XORi2xhHybP94z03OGlbSbJa/s1500/New%20in%20%23135%203-1%20BOURJOIS%20Healthy%20Mix%20Serum%20(2023%20version).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1203" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvdRMMB_OrmFndlCPgAwvtcZ7HdcWKg8iM2p8aVJU1CV1HA03dIxew7S3Uk5CWFP7E8y2XoWdRVAoh4CZ_ZcE7f4F4pjkFkKzqtYckA3zMunELOX4lxgU5n3hdyyNXGCp1hceiF0KBmIM7telszQ4PxzcEaEa_wJH0XORi2xhHybP94z03OGlbSbJa/s16000/New%20in%20%23135%203-1%20BOURJOIS%20Healthy%20Mix%20Serum%20(2023%20version).jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCAJ1xPJqQTft9Gdi3itw5eeN-FG9KtZ7z3qnMQBDQNHCV1lexOYluTcG-HpvAlper5Be3gV_1Poz8y-OPIkMiECwGVX6yyS6nfwtvJrD_5cLFVBk2dFeVmZOa2iG7UEitdQ165nSrydbg51-vtZqNTpM_KRcMffQqevja92vG7w81eIn_TACeIAZB/s1500/New%20in%20%23135%204%20Maybelline%20Fit%20Me%20Concealer,%20CATRICE%20Highlighting%20Hero%20Duo%20Pencil%20020%20Daylight,%20Liquid%20Eyeliner.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCAJ1xPJqQTft9Gdi3itw5eeN-FG9KtZ7z3qnMQBDQNHCV1lexOYluTcG-HpvAlper5Be3gV_1Poz8y-OPIkMiECwGVX6yyS6nfwtvJrD_5cLFVBk2dFeVmZOa2iG7UEitdQ165nSrydbg51-vtZqNTpM_KRcMffQqevja92vG7w81eIn_TACeIAZB/s16000/New%20in%20%23135%204%20Maybelline%20Fit%20Me%20Concealer,%20CATRICE%20Highlighting%20Hero%20Duo%20Pencil%20020%20Daylight,%20Liquid%20Eyeliner.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">MAYBELLINE Fit Me concealer</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">05</span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I used to have this and <a href="http://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2014/08/maybelline-fit-me-concealer-15-fair.html" target="_blank">reviewed</a> it too, but it was before they had light shades and even though I liked it, I couldn't wear it, so I gave it away.

The matte side is meant to be used in the waterline and for lifting the eyes (and the face), while the shimmery one is a highlighter, most suited for the inner corners of the eyes. The matte pencil is a similar colour to the discontinued Essence pencil that I've been using for years (I stocked up on several when I learned they're discontinuing them). It's an off-white pink shade that suits my skin tone better than yellow toned pencils and opens up the eyes. The shimmery side is also in a pinky shade and it's disappointing. Given that I bought this pencil mostly for the shimmery shade, I'm not happy about it being a poor performer. Pigmentation is much weaker than the matte side and even with a lot building up, it just doesn't end up looking shimmery enough to bring focus to the eyes. Both sides are creamy and glide nicely, but pigmentation differs a lot between the sides. </div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAmvwRJblJFiBI1KJfrPQOuigiJiqHmaOh-yZlhnhpgjEfb_x76liJq51OPV6wVZvugrGkiONjdfuv8Vl85YcQzAxzGvplTtXd5WjEzS6A4KSyESpf3zAUKVNup_py65HNtrYVqvs03ApndhsnNYLYa2reM97JysY_ZUSjAAZco2gElWTzWCT7yP1R/s1500/New%20in%20%23135%208%20Essence%20Mini%20Nail%20Buffers,%20Catrice%20ICOnails%20Gel%20Lacquer%20161%20Stargazing.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAmvwRJblJFiBI1KJfrPQOuigiJiqHmaOh-yZlhnhpgjEfb_x76liJq51OPV6wVZvugrGkiONjdfuv8Vl85YcQzAxzGvplTtXd5WjEzS6A4KSyESpf3zAUKVNup_py65HNtrYVqvs03ApndhsnNYLYa2reM97JysY_ZUSjAAZco2gElWTzWCT7yP1R/s16000/New%20in%20%23135%208%20Essence%20Mini%20Nail%20Buffers,%20Catrice%20ICOnails%20Gel%20Lacquer%20161%20Stargazing.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">ESSENCE The Mini Nail Buffers</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I always buy a different nail file from Essence, a thin four sided one, but the stand in a local Müller looks like it has been robbed and this was the only one the stand.

I'm drawn to all starry sky shades, looking for the perfect mix of dark blue with the right amount of shimmer. This one ended up fairly basic, as I've had at least two identical shades before and the shimmer doesn't look as intense or "starry" as I'd like, but it's a nice deep frosty blue shade. Staying power didn't wow me and usually Catrice nail polishes last well. </div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMHWLM9Z0FaTERg_hlNqQM1IBdyiaBAE5DlZq0vPXK8yWaUd3LyAe5yNoagnIT4P4Jtqcl7AVpV6gxmdBu50HGGGekOzvMtn__KhplnL55FA38NF2IyNN5PkgVasFVh_pr6hyphenhyphenRjOjLBi4ttPzdFLsZvFBnNFKx5Q6hkwHqb6_hgriiHjmInzd3tLZq/s1500/New%20in%20%23135%2011%20Balea%20Beauty%20Expert%20Hydration%20Toner,%20Garnier%20Night%20Serum%20Vitamin%20C.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMHWLM9Z0FaTERg_hlNqQM1IBdyiaBAE5DlZq0vPXK8yWaUd3LyAe5yNoagnIT4P4Jtqcl7AVpV6gxmdBu50HGGGekOzvMtn__KhplnL55FA38NF2IyNN5PkgVasFVh_pr6hyphenhyphenRjOjLBi4ttPzdFLsZvFBnNFKx5Q6hkwHqb6_hgriiHjmInzd3tLZq/s16000/New%20in%20%23135%2011%20Balea%20Beauty%20Expert%20Hydration%20Toner,%20Garnier%20Night%20Serum%20Vitamin%20C.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">BALEA Beauty Expert Hydration Toner</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I find Balea frustrating at times. While I'm glad they are going in the right direction ingredients-wise with their Beauty Expert line, their formulas just miss the mark for me. At every product I've tried, there was something off. Their<a href="http://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/05/new-in-120.html" target="_blank"> liquid exfoliator</a> with the salicylic acid feels oily, so it doesn't absorb for ages and their <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/07/new-in-121.html">body niacinamide</a> cream is too light (their discontinued<a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/10/new-in-125.html" target="_blank"> retinol serum</a> was also underwhelming). This is again a product that is brilliant on paper. It has 2% panthenol, 0.2% allantoin, betaine, urea, glutamic acid, aminoacids and it's fragrance free. So you'd expect a comfortable, ultra-hydrating product like <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2020/10/current-skin-care.html" target="_blank">Cezanne High Moist</a> I've been using for many years (and I need to order online), but this feels so bare, thin and water-like. I put it on and I'm just missing some extra hydration. I will say that it's nice for layering, as it's super light and fast absorbing, but as a stand-alone product, I feel it needs something to make it feel more hydrating. However, I will praise it as a relief product. My scalp was irritated a while back and I put this on because of the panthenol, hoping it will alleviate the irritation and itch. It helped very fast, but it also made my hair feel somewhat dirty, so I had to wash it the same day. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">GARNIER Skinactive Vitamin C Glow Booster Night Serum</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">A while ago I used up <a href="http://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/05/new-in-120.html" target="_blank">Afrodita's Vitamin C serum</a> with ascorbly tetraisopalmitate, which I liked, though not as much as the <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2021/09/new-in-112.html">Professional version </a>(which is much more expensive). This time I wanted to try the new Garnier one because it has 10% ascorbic acid (the most potent version of vitamin C, but also least stable), it has no alcohol, it has some salicylic acid and adenosine. It can be opened for just 3 months. It's a light clear liquid with a tiny bit of an oily feel, but that goes away. Products can be applied over it with no problems. I felt nothing when I first applied it, so no burning or tingling, nor did I get a delayed reaction. But I did instantly get that odd smell, like you can at self tanners. I've tried applying it with gloves, but I apparently touch my face a lot, so my hands smell like self tanner all the time. I don't think I noticed anything significant in terms of the condition of my skin, but I'll keep using it.</div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBUa8veAtXXF50H7ClrxtdYpb1kZIvWa_yeWg2VHwZ9YjwKC-cekjKMbq6tbXR10gSeCiEFDTKPIbqcZvuG9NLSbfKyCf62idR7u4U9U7JYpXtxl9Ax5llEaXuoe2UjCdwImUq5UBdv0nEFU9wOUA5xtONVJDsqk1Cwmo4MAm_UNR0HLj97truE3jE/s1500/New%20in%20%23135%2012%20Body%20Boom,%20Face%20Boom,%20Soraya.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBUa8veAtXXF50H7ClrxtdYpb1kZIvWa_yeWg2VHwZ9YjwKC-cekjKMbq6tbXR10gSeCiEFDTKPIbqcZvuG9NLSbfKyCf62idR7u4U9U7JYpXtxl9Ax5llEaXuoe2UjCdwImUq5UBdv0nEFU9wOUA5xtONVJDsqk1Cwmo4MAm_UNR0HLj97truE3jE/s16000/New%20in%20%23135%2012%20Body%20Boom,%20Face%20Boom,%20Soraya.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisDlb3c5lLxGfzTWGc6M1R56eKa0tXT-bEJq3luCkhzfq7ZBx8in-8mCr5Yxy24h_0pxhyYL9-77ByBT8SPRo7u9MyQUubBr5rFiX0k6TRRioJwkvehHklsNCxxgEwo8gMMNHmmluJF0S6tj9LMzBCrSUelzNf_V6wqBpP7qXgCU905V4xhECw1p-V/s1500/New%20in%20%23135%2013%20%20Body%20Boom%20Peel%20Off%20Rubber%20Algae%20Mask.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisDlb3c5lLxGfzTWGc6M1R56eKa0tXT-bEJq3luCkhzfq7ZBx8in-8mCr5Yxy24h_0pxhyYL9-77ByBT8SPRo7u9MyQUubBr5rFiX0k6TRRioJwkvehHklsNCxxgEwo8gMMNHmmluJF0S6tj9LMzBCrSUelzNf_V6wqBpP7qXgCU905V4xhECw1p-V/s16000/New%20in%20%23135%2013%20%20Body%20Boom%20Peel%20Off%20Rubber%20Algae%20Mask.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv3Jf9_i4B7zHf9SDBY995HuUTaoZEi5YRYqFdnBDl4GrDw439GT-nAvZEg8qUujLYDNtpICneUdT73bhEnByWNCQmMQuQCFsrUfPs55q99zeHLksLFpkNKwLsDwIKFo7dwwShnvS4l9YKZSbJ1gBZvc2JWFIOHAIAo2KURm57hxKjn6klROtFYOB-/s1500/New%20in%20%23135%2014%20Body%20Boom%20Peel%20Off%20Rubber%20Algae%20Mask.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv3Jf9_i4B7zHf9SDBY995HuUTaoZEi5YRYqFdnBDl4GrDw439GT-nAvZEg8qUujLYDNtpICneUdT73bhEnByWNCQmMQuQCFsrUfPs55q99zeHLksLFpkNKwLsDwIKFo7dwwShnvS4l9YKZSbJ1gBZvc2JWFIOHAIAo2KURm57hxKjn6klROtFYOB-/s16000/New%20in%20%23135%2014%20Body%20Boom%20Peel%20Off%20Rubber%20Algae%20Mask.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">BODY BOOM Peel-off Rubber Algae Mask</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">A new brand that's sold in Slovenian drugstores (DM) and like Eveline it's from Poland. Products are said to contain up to 99% of ingredients of natural origin and they are vegan. Here you get a big pot with some lovely-smelling powder and you're supposed to mix it with precisely 30 ml of lukewarm water in the same cup. The mask is meant to be for a single use. I haven't tried it yet, but it's clay mask that sets to a "soft-touch dressing" on the skin and then you're supposed to peel it off. I've tried similar products before and in my experience they don't come off it a single piece, but we'll see how this one ends up. It contains pink clay, aloe vera, calamine (which is soothing and good for calming itchiness), oat kernel flour (oats tend to be used in products for sensitive skin), algae and blueberries. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <i>Ingredients: Diatomaceous Earth, Glucose, Algin, Calcium Sulfate Hydrate, Calamine, Tetrasodium Phyrophosphate, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Vaccinium Corymbosum (Blueberry) Seed, Illite (Pink Clay), Kaolin, Montmorillonite, Parfum (Fragrance), Benzyl Salicylate.</i></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKehv8uQzx8T4QITIRQvlgT8PZ55ZECkB0s9najPspru4v9B4D-J1mBoWU5kSVsFjUQsJPol5osjFLVJp9gyYnKJs8zap6Bs0WL3EVYwOyJuAKqKmijwUGGC5D3PzgraTlaM5Vv0Na8W093rTip1nWqfsG7_3-a9iWhyphenhyphentnqq6Se2WV6GGqjVCu8n3Y/s1500/New%20in%20%23135%2015%20Face%20Boom%20Day%20Night%20Hydro%20Cream,%20Mattifying%20Detoxifying%20Cream.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKehv8uQzx8T4QITIRQvlgT8PZ55ZECkB0s9najPspru4v9B4D-J1mBoWU5kSVsFjUQsJPol5osjFLVJp9gyYnKJs8zap6Bs0WL3EVYwOyJuAKqKmijwUGGC5D3PzgraTlaM5Vv0Na8W093rTip1nWqfsG7_3-a9iWhyphenhyphentnqq6Se2WV6GGqjVCu8n3Y/s16000/New%20in%20%23135%2015%20Face%20Boom%20Day%20Night%20Hydro%20Cream,%20Mattifying%20Detoxifying%20Cream.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">FACE BOOM Day/Night Hydro Cream</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">A moisturiser for sensitive to dry skin. Instead of the classic glycerine, they used trehalose as the main ingredient. It's a sugar which is supposedly an excellent hydrator. Other ingredients include brazil nut seed oil, avocado oil, glycerine, rose oil, pineapple juice, melon juice, banana extract and raspberry extract. So it's more about fruit extracts than the by now classic hyaluronic acid, glutamic acid or ceramides. Formula is light and relatively fast absorbing. It's not too heavy to affect makeup on top. I haven't used it long enough to say anything more, but to me it feels more of a formula for combination/normal skin, as for my dry skin it's on the light side. I don't have sensitive skin, so I can't say if it's gentle enough, but it is quite heavily fragranced (personally I like that).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i>Aqua (Water), Trehalose, Betaine, Stearyl Alcohol, Bertholletia Excelsa (Brazil Nut) Seed Oil, Propanediol, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Glycerin, Sorbitan Olivate, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Rosa Canina (Fruit) Oil, Ananas Sativus (Pineapple) Fruit Juice, Cucumis Melo (Melon) Juice, Musa Sapientum (Banana) Fruit Extract, Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Fruit Extract, Vegetable Oil, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Citric Acid, Sodium Salicylate, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Parfum (Fragrance), Benzyl Salicylate, Citronellol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Coumarin, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool.</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">BODY BOOM Mattifying and Detoxifying Cream</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">A moisturiser for combination and oily skin. It promises to normalize sebum production and to reduce the visibility of pores. It's actually very similar to the Day-Night Hydro Cream, as textures are so alike. It doesn’t really feel like a classic mattifying cream, it's more hydrating than the mattifying lotions I used in the past and it's thicker. While it contains rice starch for absorbing oil, it has a higher content of hemp oil and rice oil. There's also green tea extract, black tea extract, lime juice and some ferments. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i>Aqua (Water), Trehalose, Propanediol, Stearyl Alcohol, Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Seed Oil, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Starch, Sorbitan Olivate, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Glycerin, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Camellia Sinensis (Black Tea) Leaf Extract, Saccharomyces Ferment Lysate Filtrate, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Juice, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Citric Acid, Sodium Salicylate, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Parfum (Fragrance), Benzyl Salicylate, Citronellol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Coumarin, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool.</i></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYpVWA7xUPlYt8R0iWgCRUec5zjrwQ6Vhn_pA0AwF7NBTlbk9wj86lz01HSiw7-XkhHaZ5ZUjxVAAATeWkt-_Jix8dAqEmu01XHzMy7VGMo7XvGY6t2IfxFst-8RYIgMewK7b8p48jEIjxYWojCKcfNCZhPN4FFfBSo86oypK67TC-n0LLJBCipuDo/s1500/New%20in%20%23135%2016%20Soraya%20Niacinamide%20Yeast%20Serum,%20Face%20Boom%20Skin%20Dopamine%20Highly%20Moisturising%20Face%20Cream%20SPF%2050.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYpVWA7xUPlYt8R0iWgCRUec5zjrwQ6Vhn_pA0AwF7NBTlbk9wj86lz01HSiw7-XkhHaZ5ZUjxVAAATeWkt-_Jix8dAqEmu01XHzMy7VGMo7XvGY6t2IfxFst-8RYIgMewK7b8p48jEIjxYWojCKcfNCZhPN4FFfBSo86oypK67TC-n0LLJBCipuDo/s16000/New%20in%20%23135%2016%20Soraya%20Niacinamide%20Yeast%20Serum,%20Face%20Boom%20Skin%20Dopamine%20Highly%20Moisturising%20Face%20Cream%20SPF%2050.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">SORAYA Beauty Alphabet Normalizing Cream+ Vitamin Serum 2 in 1 </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">B3 + Yeast</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">A niacinamide lotion with yeast ferment. The ingredients list is short, but it doesn't state the percentage of niacinamide. Formula it's a lotion type of product, so not the lightest niacinamide product and certainly not a serum. Those with oily skin may use this as a moisturiser, as it's rich enough, yet it's not a greasy, heavy formula. I haven't used it long, but it promises a brightening, pore-tightening effect. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">FACE BOOM Skin Dopamine Highly Moisturizing Face Cream SPF 50</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The most interesting product in the bunch for me, an SPF 50 cream. Currently I have dry skin, so it's not the best time to review it for those that interested in how light or heavy it feels on the face. I wore it only once, the two finger amount. Texture is more on the thin side, but still creamy. I got no white cast, though it took some time to blend in. It doesn't feel heavy or greasy, but it's still maybe doesn't feel as nice for oily-combination skin, as it didn't absorb fully - I'll have to give it a test in the summer, to see how it works. For the current conditions, it feels fine to me. I didn't try wearing makeup over it yet. UV filters are Dibutyl Adipate, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate , Tris-Biphenyl Triazine (nano), Ethylhexyl Triazone, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine and Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol (nano). It also has babassu oil, jojoba oil, hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, vitamin E, vitamin C and squalene. </div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc7ytaQi4Fs6f-QbxU393Z9TrQslgoE_Gcf1enigA09SU7QkPWt_wnc73eSlI2-Z2bXlgEKTnxEjI1PpSuEl1UPg9Pxmb2W4DvxnH51DnB_qd_27jU5lzSrEni7vL8tRjmAFxHEtSzhiU3SxfcuvIz0Ns7oiwPRnymkJO2bjwFtOjmL0bi2W1Bc6IK/s1500/New%20in%20%23135%2017%20Moroccanoil%20Hand%20Wash%20Fragrance%20Originale.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc7ytaQi4Fs6f-QbxU393Z9TrQslgoE_Gcf1enigA09SU7QkPWt_wnc73eSlI2-Z2bXlgEKTnxEjI1PpSuEl1UPg9Pxmb2W4DvxnH51DnB_qd_27jU5lzSrEni7vL8tRjmAFxHEtSzhiU3SxfcuvIz0Ns7oiwPRnymkJO2bjwFtOjmL0bi2W1Bc6IK/s16000/New%20in%20%23135%2017%20Moroccanoil%20Hand%20Wash%20Fragrance%20Originale.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">MOROCCANOIL Hand Wash Fragrance Originale</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">A thick that forms a rich foam with a small amount.

It's actually similar to the their <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/02/new-in-128.html" target="_blank">Smoothing lotion</a>, but this one also protects the hair from getting frizzy when in contact with humidity.

I used to use mousses all the time when I was younger and still had natural curls, but I never liked their texture and how sticky/stiff they left the hair, so stopped using any such styling product. I decided to give them another go, since I heard the secret to a long lasting blowout and curls made with a hair dryer (or a Dyson like cheap approximate) is using a mousse with heat protection. This literary feels like nothing is on the hair. I don't know how they managed to do that, but it holds volume all day. Curls made with a blow dryer last as long too and without a mousse they are gone within minutes that's why I always preferred using curling wands that use more heat. In the next days, the hair feels normal, it's not any dryer, more stiff or anything, it's like it's easily brushed out of the hair. I'm genuinely impressed. Plus it has heat protection. I'll try the hair spray too. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I use this at every hair wash since I got it a month or two ago. My overnight curls now actually last and I can "redo them" over the week without having to wash my hair. </div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgATStbfTAazCz2uCEOQd4GOASrHczxZcTPX6skL6YPfoJsnYJ_nnV0CtQFu45oA0m2UgUWcj5-csoGVA18KmTRSBuynC50K-djBPQpaDD0HyStJ8dtW__XQg6yCZ7Cbivt0Iod173ZvorT-rPPASFasoE49NzlUVTskoKrqgjOTgASphpz_mv33hmM/s1500/New%20in%20%23135%2020%20Schwarzkopf%20Brilliance%20Haar%20Glossing%20Schoko%20Braun.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgATStbfTAazCz2uCEOQd4GOASrHczxZcTPX6skL6YPfoJsnYJ_nnV0CtQFu45oA0m2UgUWcj5-csoGVA18KmTRSBuynC50K-djBPQpaDD0HyStJ8dtW__XQg6yCZ7Cbivt0Iod173ZvorT-rPPASFasoE49NzlUVTskoKrqgjOTgASphpz_mv33hmM/s16000/New%20in%20%23135%2020%20Schwarzkopf%20Brilliance%20Haar%20Glossing%20Schoko%20Braun.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgboxm8HU2XMqUFIx3N2XGi4aU8NRbo6tz2a3wRfTToSxNgY3qUkfF5HPvwMdPSGpKGjS-Ewv_pt9qJy14Nvk_Wi_YEHNTkGKJcqks6aqzi5YwmQBTFT9qSohsJw_GHfIJ0j9sU20nuBnvSKhyphenhyphenoE3okbFroqIdvH8t3rV0R50Q6Vkd9swwliJloCwFB/s1440/New%20in%20%23135%2021%20Schwarzkopf%20Brilliance%20Haar%20Glossing%20Schoko%20Braun.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1440" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgboxm8HU2XMqUFIx3N2XGi4aU8NRbo6tz2a3wRfTToSxNgY3qUkfF5HPvwMdPSGpKGjS-Ewv_pt9qJy14Nvk_Wi_YEHNTkGKJcqks6aqzi5YwmQBTFT9qSohsJw_GHfIJ0j9sU20nuBnvSKhyphenhyphenoE3okbFroqIdvH8t3rV0R50Q6Vkd9swwliJloCwFB/s16000/New%20in%20%23135%2021%20Schwarzkopf%20Brilliance%20Haar%20Glossing%20Schoko%20Braun.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">SCHWARZKOPF Brilliance Gloss Treatment</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Chocolate Brown</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Another tinted hair mask I'm trying, this one is sold in local drugstores. The colour is a perfect match for my natural colour and there is no line visible between my natural and coloured hair. So it's a very deep, almost black brown shade as well as very cool. On my ends there is a gentle hue of greyness because of that coolness and I could immediately see this will wash off towards grey-blue-green shades on blonde hair - not ideal for me, but if you have red tones appearing as your brown colour is washing off, this one will counter them just like Subrina's Cold Brown shade (that one is lighter, not as deep). Due to being a cool shade, it also means the colour is flat and matte. As much as I'm very pleased I found a perfect match, I would prefer if it were more reddish-golden because of that, so at the next wash I already added some Subrina Colour Refresh in Magenta.

It's been a few years since I used up my Olympea, so I can't compare them side by side, but when I spray this it's definitely smells so similar. Notes of vanilla and salt are most prominent at the start along with hazelnut. Middle notes are more floral, with the strongest note being jasmine, but it's more subtle than in Olympea. Staying power is good considering this costs 10 €. I got this in a set with a shower gel, but the latter doesn't smell like the fragrance. It's a generic, floral-fruity creamy clean scent - nice, but probably those that buy the set would like to see it smells like the fragrance. </div></div>Matejahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06185854904546395778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906024651089625186.post-68831136258272323402023-12-08T18:03:00.003+01:002023-12-08T18:03:59.224+01:00Melem Lips & Cheeks 2in1 Tinted Lip Balm & Blush<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkw6HSj03FM6EPwhuKpoBsuOheOPLeAHsz-cYbXnrSphPKbsdB0ggTQ5qRieMwOY05AR1pMpuLIADJpO_qt7Gc4nPqdu4OQBTOdk49Wkj1q6Vbx65ZX-8OAPQUpMLibdfotuK5Tvq6hBkSzkSCGIvcELvhqOoqug7I1A4mxd42mT4rR9lWlSFGkuWl/s1500/Melem%20Lips%20&%20Cheeks%20Dreamy%20Rose,%20Fresh%20Magnolia%20(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1125" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkw6HSj03FM6EPwhuKpoBsuOheOPLeAHsz-cYbXnrSphPKbsdB0ggTQ5qRieMwOY05AR1pMpuLIADJpO_qt7Gc4nPqdu4OQBTOdk49Wkj1q6Vbx65ZX-8OAPQUpMLibdfotuK5Tvq6hBkSzkSCGIvcELvhqOoqug7I1A4mxd42mT4rR9lWlSFGkuWl/s16000/Melem%20Lips%20&%20Cheeks%20Dreamy%20Rose,%20Fresh%20Magnolia%20(1).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is kind of new, but also not really - they are tinted lip balms with a pigmentation like those glossy lipsticks. Someone just had the brilliant idea to market them as blushes and they made shades that work for both lips and cheeks. I often use lipsticks as blushes, especially when I'm in a hurry and these are lovely especially to keep in the bag for on the go.

They aren't waxy or at all dry, so they glide both on the lips and cheeks with ease. Regular lipstick don't blend on the cheeks easily, but these are like butter. Despite feeling moisturising on the lips, these don't feel greasy or heavy on the cheeks. Colour payoff is excellent at both.

Dreamy Rose is the lighter of the two, so I need about two-three swipes on the cheeks for a nice intensity, while at Fresh Magnolia a small swipe suffices (keep in mind I wear the lightest shades of foundations). Dreamy Coral ends up looking a bit different on the cheeks than on the lips. On the lips it's a pale warm pink, while on the cheeks it looks darker, more coral pink. Fresh Magnolia is a darker, more intense shade, so it looks about the same on the lips and cheeks, a medium warm pink. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Dreamy Rose</span></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-pEIGnlfzpJkW6ZQhvGnWzpY5eJEZwRmExcyAy3Oah5Ewr8o0tlA46SovS1MB5rorrTG6QEe_KVOKyqW-YGAtPFUep551Rc6pn7J1RlqgPJB5pWSV95fYmwZkCGhuiFpjogK4HdecrWajhC1VOunyo6xhFyNVrHDlEB3heT38HCdlOkVVCPIuTd7K/s1500/Melem%20Lips%20&%20Cheeks%20Dreamy%20Rose,%20Fresh%20Magnolia%20(4).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-pEIGnlfzpJkW6ZQhvGnWzpY5eJEZwRmExcyAy3Oah5Ewr8o0tlA46SovS1MB5rorrTG6QEe_KVOKyqW-YGAtPFUep551Rc6pn7J1RlqgPJB5pWSV95fYmwZkCGhuiFpjogK4HdecrWajhC1VOunyo6xhFyNVrHDlEB3heT38HCdlOkVVCPIuTd7K/s16000/Melem%20Lips%20&%20Cheeks%20Dreamy%20Rose,%20Fresh%20Magnolia%20(4).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYjGZG8CjOm_4tlgVWfnWUV0ohkEsAXVZ8a8q8DpiB5SjA8cmkyBm9lU8Ba-psLMvcdWv6LhZQGl7JGFhq8nFqpuBzwuxWfrNxj3I_0m21Op8acLk4i8CXPH0O2MBLobS35WId37UgYoCf2aBAnA6fk8fjurOI5V-f762zMqenHh2Mhatz_gdqI-15/s1500/Melem%20Lips%20&%20Cheeks%20Dreamy%20Rose,%20Fresh%20Magnolia%20(5).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYjGZG8CjOm_4tlgVWfnWUV0ohkEsAXVZ8a8q8DpiB5SjA8cmkyBm9lU8Ba-psLMvcdWv6LhZQGl7JGFhq8nFqpuBzwuxWfrNxj3I_0m21Op8acLk4i8CXPH0O2MBLobS35WId37UgYoCf2aBAnA6fk8fjurOI5V-f762zMqenHh2Mhatz_gdqI-15/s16000/Melem%20Lips%20&%20Cheeks%20Dreamy%20Rose,%20Fresh%20Magnolia%20(5).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Fresh Magnolia</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWGEFtGqDqdzg7JO5Rg7jUOVIDFHtErWALq-dALUqcINkZ_IfTJQ1ttk2umt8lphDqpyroonyATVB_VaG72IXL1yjY-_9GH0nBmhwLGQF4WOOzpoIX_6zVuO66gtrIwCOPWNnDdYod9fTmq74pnbgMeY8OMFySWxZDLxRjxbLqIBhjkl3i39dAk6KN/s1500/Melem%20Lips%20&%20Cheeks%20Dreamy%20Rose,%20Fresh%20Magnolia%20(6).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWGEFtGqDqdzg7JO5Rg7jUOVIDFHtErWALq-dALUqcINkZ_IfTJQ1ttk2umt8lphDqpyroonyATVB_VaG72IXL1yjY-_9GH0nBmhwLGQF4WOOzpoIX_6zVuO66gtrIwCOPWNnDdYod9fTmq74pnbgMeY8OMFySWxZDLxRjxbLqIBhjkl3i39dAk6KN/s16000/Melem%20Lips%20&%20Cheeks%20Dreamy%20Rose,%20Fresh%20Magnolia%20(6).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTi26UUx0RpVqoz1lww1pLIoH1fJzXTmSUtovRbTyGhry6-Wka5VqBE0P9wc9lJZL4O9bjaVoU-kJcQOSrvvdqeqO99SE5s8_Srg0COuL7eMM0u-axelJmc_0H3gdmDOH_ssj_4Ozq1EXDT4mEXkgS1Ko89GwkuolygWd1a3AdFgU3oKYOYuQLXk79/s1500/Melem%20Lips%20&%20Cheeks%20Dreamy%20Rose,%20Fresh%20Magnolia%20(7).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTi26UUx0RpVqoz1lww1pLIoH1fJzXTmSUtovRbTyGhry6-Wka5VqBE0P9wc9lJZL4O9bjaVoU-kJcQOSrvvdqeqO99SE5s8_Srg0COuL7eMM0u-axelJmc_0H3gdmDOH_ssj_4Ozq1EXDT4mEXkgS1Ko89GwkuolygWd1a3AdFgU3oKYOYuQLXk79/s16000/Melem%20Lips%20&%20Cheeks%20Dreamy%20Rose,%20Fresh%20Magnolia%20(7).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Formula feels nicely moisturising on the lips, it's nourishing enough for dry lips and it doesn't disappear too fast.

Healthy Mix foundation has been changed this year as well and when I got it in summer, I reported it's more shiny than the previous version, when I compared them side by side. With the colder weather and my skin being drier, the shine is more subtle now and when I compared the foundation vs. the Serum, the foundation is the winner for me. Not just because Serum has no true light shades, but also because it looks a lot more smooth, it doesn't slip into my pores and it has a touch more coverage. It is thicker that the thin serum, but I find all the new lightweight formulas don't work well for me. Healthy Mix foundation looks natural and fresh, it has a light-medium coverage and manages to look good even when the condition of my skin isn't great.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-ri75rMVJQHSrVdL8OASdiHx7wdkEoQ-cgNkZo2kdJf4pabtW8f5eCTy-rvJis0v3HGoed9uIF4lwOsM8gxHbCK8OlLiDV9TQZmaUdC86w7jtPA2p0bSAT9gTQcNj55jLmu4vTLunq6ruzs1iQb0QN4BhPXDl8Adr1mv867s-qHLI9DfeBuWhD5TB/s1500/2023%2011%20November%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(3).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-ri75rMVJQHSrVdL8OASdiHx7wdkEoQ-cgNkZo2kdJf4pabtW8f5eCTy-rvJis0v3HGoed9uIF4lwOsM8gxHbCK8OlLiDV9TQZmaUdC86w7jtPA2p0bSAT9gTQcNj55jLmu4vTLunq6ruzs1iQb0QN4BhPXDl8Adr1mv867s-qHLI9DfeBuWhD5TB/s16000/2023%2011%20November%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(3).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">MAYBELLINE Fit Me concealer</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">05 </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I had this formula before in the original lightest shade <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2014/08/maybelline-fit-me-concealer-15-fair.html" target="_blank">15 Fair</a>, which was too dark for me, so I quickly gave it away, but I liked the formula. Since then, they've added more shades and the new 05 is a very good match for my skin tone. I’m a big fan of <a href="http://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.si/2015/09/maybelline-eraser-eye-concealer.html" target="_blank">Maybelline's Eraser concealer</a> and I don’t consider Fit Me as good, but it’s a nice drugstore offering. Since they discontinued two of my favourite concealers from <a href="http://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.si/2016/03/bourjois-radiance-reveal-concealer.html">Bourjois</a>, as well as a great cheap formula from <a href="http://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2018/08/essence-camouflage-healthy-glow.html" target="_blank">Essence Camouflage + Healthy Glow concealer </a>and Revlon also doesn't sell <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2020/12/revlon-photoready-candid-anti-pollution.html" target="_blank">Candid</a> here anymore, there are few formulas left in local drugstores that aren't very matte and have a light enough shade. Fit Me's formula is creamy and medium thick with a medium coverage that is buildable. </div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikBAd6qI0kWQC_ZRbPHmW2YVpDkDYjg70ellmvey3INjj425VBmEJGL1JfQcMBCTU3zHtO_V286_necCP_dwdFsZ4FEx64UAVBMb8F2wCx7aO8kuW5wy2cYBByCsJ4xe_a1XJdXZGFMGEWF6xPj7-eoc7nDRoe3dVLibUEZKp0lTdckaCAhh0msf8v/s1500/2023%2011%20November%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(4).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikBAd6qI0kWQC_ZRbPHmW2YVpDkDYjg70ellmvey3INjj425VBmEJGL1JfQcMBCTU3zHtO_V286_necCP_dwdFsZ4FEx64UAVBMb8F2wCx7aO8kuW5wy2cYBByCsJ4xe_a1XJdXZGFMGEWF6xPj7-eoc7nDRoe3dVLibUEZKp0lTdckaCAhh0msf8v/s16000/2023%2011%20November%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(4).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/10/new-in-124-essence-autumnwinter-202223.html" target="_blank">ESSENCE Lash Like a Boss Mascara Waterproof</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I'm very pleased with this mascara.

I used to use mousses all the time when I was younger and still had natural curls, but I grew tired of how stiff they leave the hair, so stopped using any such styling product. I decided to give them another go, since I heard the secret to a long lasting blow-out and curls made with a hair dryer (or a Dyson-like cheap approximate) is using a mousse with heat protection. This literary feels like nothing is on the hair. I don't know how they managed to do that, but it holds volume all day. Curls made with a blow dryer last as long too and without a mousse they are gone within minutes that's why I always preferred using curling wands that use more heat. In the next days, the hair feels normal, it's not any drier, more stiff or anything. I'm genuinely impressed. Plus it has heat protection.</div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLlt69qnafMcV4EFUzQfnXL6GqPOz2sLVpnx24eKaL0UrAn7OZsR9wJQ7uuvecsVJpQScAx50xPA7-oaB10HZm_dVfSzwvUUNB0SxURdM71bWaofpx52tTWfYZD4gwHL3f6VlBzWkwKqOJAyTHoEEyjm-5Wk95vM1pqPU5apa0DaFXZy6l7yn9oD8q/s1500/2023%2011%20November%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(6).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLlt69qnafMcV4EFUzQfnXL6GqPOz2sLVpnx24eKaL0UrAn7OZsR9wJQ7uuvecsVJpQScAx50xPA7-oaB10HZm_dVfSzwvUUNB0SxURdM71bWaofpx52tTWfYZD4gwHL3f6VlBzWkwKqOJAyTHoEEyjm-5Wk95vM1pqPU5apa0DaFXZy6l7yn9oD8q/s16000/2023%2011%20November%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(6).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">LA RIVE In Flames eau de parfum</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This is a dupe for Paco Rabanne Olympea, a fragrance I used up a few years ago. As soon as I sprayed it, it reminded me of Olympea. To me it's very close, though reviews claim it's not the same and it's a softer version, but to me just drawing from my memory, this is so similar, at least from the start. It starts with that delightful salty vanilla combination that's the Olympea's trademark, I get hazelnut too. Ok, the base doesn't feature jasmine as intensely as Olympea, but that's actually a plus to me because I disliked that note. Actually that was the reason I never repurchased Olympea and I knew a dupe won't be as "jasmine-y". I can smell it for a long time during the day, though I tend to spray perfume on clothes more than on the skin. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I got the set with the shower gel since we can only get this fragrance around Christmas here and not individually all year round like in other countries, but the shower gel has zero In Flames scent, it's just a fruity, creamy, fresh fragrance. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>EMPTIES</b></span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5ks0XR87H5xTsCb0VR6dZcXuaHYDt4R-RTbU8gKAHkDAsFmH_pT9wU4jlqk84AiHTzO8-FsIfUiEhZMFEbKZ4KEZqzYBge_WqrBUsTRUcIza73KB5a3urgDgqjETSUY4SP94XlyMo3scLuGhVAwWiY3KN0EMpRkVFwEw_bZi70rAzVx1GUg9RsPhW/s1500/2023%2011%20November%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(7).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5ks0XR87H5xTsCb0VR6dZcXuaHYDt4R-RTbU8gKAHkDAsFmH_pT9wU4jlqk84AiHTzO8-FsIfUiEhZMFEbKZ4KEZqzYBge_WqrBUsTRUcIza73KB5a3urgDgqjETSUY4SP94XlyMo3scLuGhVAwWiY3KN0EMpRkVFwEw_bZi70rAzVx1GUg9RsPhW/s16000/2023%2011%20November%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(7).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I just posted two posts about Empties (<a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/11/empties-46.html" target="_blank">1</a> and <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/11/empties-47.html" target="_blank">2</a>) and I managed to use up several more products. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2020/09/current-hair-care-part-1-shampoos-masks.html" target="_blank">JOICO K-PAK Hydrator</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">One of my favourite hair treatments that I've been using for years.

But the thick material of the mask just ruined these. The masks didn't feel as saturated with product as thinner masks, they didn't have cut-outs for eyes, so the flaps were just hanging under them and they dried fast.

It also has Amodimethicone, which is my preferred silicone, as well as coconut, macadamia, argan and avocado oil, cocoa butter, hydrolised keratin, lactic acid, panthenol and rapeseedoil. It's nicely thick and rich, it left my hair sufficiently nourished, but it had zero frizz control. My hair was frizzy even after using a round hair drier, so in next uses I always mixed it with either Pantene or Gliss 7 Secs and added a lot of leave-ins. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Repurchase: <b>No.</b> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">WISHLIST</span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCAB8c3E8-DarAM6wSaTZChZ1T-nsruZSW9qKLphV0cScXt4U4vUI9BZdXuaUaO3B2eVIsCJAWXYUD4sKDaagcsdvk9nDhI7nUxTc2odwTN4GXUsGXawCZBD2CTElj0v2cKZfz_n7-LO55-J8f2m55x_H1nF4QbUWDrGFI4JbzhEzwlD1_BvamN53P/s1533/2023%2011%20November%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(10).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1398" data-original-width="1533" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCAB8c3E8-DarAM6wSaTZChZ1T-nsruZSW9qKLphV0cScXt4U4vUI9BZdXuaUaO3B2eVIsCJAWXYUD4sKDaagcsdvk9nDhI7nUxTc2odwTN4GXUsGXawCZBD2CTElj0v2cKZfz_n7-LO55-J8f2m55x_H1nF4QbUWDrGFI4JbzhEzwlD1_BvamN53P/s16000/2023%2011%20November%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(10).jpg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div><b>NYX Bare with me Concealer Serum</b> - this is supposedly one of the best concealers for dry skin.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>CATRICE Under Eye Brightener</b> - I saw this is the top selling concealer in Müller - well a corrector or brightener. I already planned to get this when it first launched, but it wasn't in stock for a long time, so I forgot about it. </div><div><br /></div><div><b><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2019/06/new-in-79.html" target="_blank">BEAUTY OF JOSEON Dynasty Cream</a></b> - this is now in Slovene DM's though for twice the price I paid for it years ago. It's one of my favourite moisturisers so far, but I never repurchased it because I always have so many PR creams to use up. It's a gel cream with lots of niacinamide and a ton of nice ingredients. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>BEAUTY OF JOSEON Propolis + Niacinamide Serum</b> - this has been on my wishlist for a while, but I picked <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/02/new-in-128.html" target="_blank">CORSX's Propolis toner</a> instead. It's good we have this now in DM, though I'll probably just repurchase COSRX when it runs out because you get more for the price.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>CERAVE Facial Moisturising Lotion</b> - I'm missing something basic and nourishing in my routine. I love <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/02/new-in-128.html" target="_blank">Cerave's hand cream</a> and this could be what I need. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>BALEA Ultra Sensitive Barriereschutz Crème </b>- this sounds so nice just based on ingredients, as it has ceramides, 5 % panthenol, a probiotic and more. I just hope it has a nice texture, as so far all Balea creams I tried just didn't feel good enough, they all sit on the skin for a long time.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>KERASTASE Symbiose Intensive Anti-Dandruff Cellular Night Serum</b> - my scalp hasn't been feeling ok recently. It's itchier than usual and it's occasionally irritated. It's probably because of central heating. I tried what I have in my stash, including the new Balea's 2% Panthenol face toner, which is surprisingly effective, but it ruins the hair style and the hair feels like it needs a wash. I need to find something that's designed for scalp and this has good reviews for what I've been researching, plus it claims it deals with dandruff, my decade-long undefeated nemesis. It's so expensive, though. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>MOROCCANOIL Color Depositing Mask Copper </b>- I love this formula so much, but shade <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/10/new-in-134.html" target="_blank">Cocoa</a> that I use washes off purple and eventually grey, so not the nicest look. I'd like Copper to mix with Cocoa to add warmth. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>HUGO BOSS Ma Vie</b> - I have an ancient bottle and it's close to being completely off. I'd like to repurchase it. It's one of my favourite scents, a fresh sort of fruity scent, but that "fruity" note is cactus, so it's green and a bit sweet with a woody base. </div></div>Matejahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06185854904546395778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906024651089625186.post-22643984251299388222023-11-26T18:27:00.000+01:002023-11-26T18:27:13.379+01:00REVLON Colorstay Suede Ink Lipstick<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWgkbjiqXoqUBjmmBP0vHPru396Sb_FI8Xyg0K6qd8jnSLtMKR4NfaUjIZgT1oeSUhZ71ES-Je4MGe0SV0PrBQZ9NhbMzEpoiQoNwsqTca23X6d53LtY6ofUZjml_X4gvBoWdyRZEFu5M-9TDpP479gb2pOjBh9xcbNvsDi3HzuWkBfMwvn1CDEVT0/s1500/Revlon%20Suede%20Ink%20Lipsticks%20(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1125" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWgkbjiqXoqUBjmmBP0vHPru396Sb_FI8Xyg0K6qd8jnSLtMKR4NfaUjIZgT1oeSUhZ71ES-Je4MGe0SV0PrBQZ9NhbMzEpoiQoNwsqTca23X6d53LtY6ofUZjml_X4gvBoWdyRZEFu5M-9TDpP479gb2pOjBh9xcbNvsDi3HzuWkBfMwvn1CDEVT0/s16000/Revlon%20Suede%20Ink%20Lipsticks%20(1).JPG" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">These are currently my favourite lipsticks formula, though I won't say it was love at first try, as they left a terrible first impression - but it was likely all my fault. They were so dry and refused to swatch, but before I swatched them I took a ton of photos, meaning they were opened for quite a while or they all had this dry layer on the top, but once I swatched it off, these became as described - opaque in one swipe. I'm just saying that in case you come across a tester in a shop that's going to be dry that you don't get the wrong impression about these because this formula is impressive. These are some of the most long lasting lip products I've tried. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1hEFt-r2-54Rmr_JilV_jiOXtB4ipWS6IDIwvBEP_CG7qTWTZ6B94jAB6Nnwf2Mu_VCzVS5tXR6f6JJvBw-x3e5ldfbr4OEKjWtetdehx3uoH-7I10NtpwPSvS0A6pW2OPTiwxD9uHfIANki_upJlOb_V_p23AIN1wfz__qp1T6qhqx4x8ZwZDWLZ/s1500/Revlon%20Suede%20Ink%20Lipsticks%20(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1hEFt-r2-54Rmr_JilV_jiOXtB4ipWS6IDIwvBEP_CG7qTWTZ6B94jAB6Nnwf2Mu_VCzVS5tXR6f6JJvBw-x3e5ldfbr4OEKjWtetdehx3uoH-7I10NtpwPSvS0A6pW2OPTiwxD9uHfIANki_upJlOb_V_p23AIN1wfz__qp1T6qhqx4x8ZwZDWLZ/s16000/Revlon%20Suede%20Ink%20Lipsticks%20(2).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Like I said above once I got though the top layer, these became creamy and smooth lip colour that are opaque in one swipe. Once they set on the lips, which is quick, they don't wipe off or smudge off, they just stay in their place like a liquid matte lipstick. There is a downside, though, formula is thin and matte, so don't expect any nourishment from these. I can handle them fine and don't find them drying, but some may want to use a lip balm under or over them. To my joy I discovered that unlike most long lasting formulas, you can apply a lip balm on top and it won't shorten their staying power much. They look smooth on my lips, but my lips don't get flaky quickly. </div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEAXI4mr-YC02T66HtCJRdU1UuRovosKr6GEWYUSd-wliJ6iT4mEnDGqNJnsg8ZmMqXtdSg74j3nKCL7-FsyiIrfml3KthQNNMRwtEYtE44rg2BEBr28KIMhI-FrbAi6u0kIHVvhMcGj1PI1WlK5velMw8lgK4jKWP6pAWhTU25yedhIk5FLb7x9kP/s1500/Revlon%20Suede%20Ink%20Lipsticks%20(3).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEAXI4mr-YC02T66HtCJRdU1UuRovosKr6GEWYUSd-wliJ6iT4mEnDGqNJnsg8ZmMqXtdSg74j3nKCL7-FsyiIrfml3KthQNNMRwtEYtE44rg2BEBr28KIMhI-FrbAi6u0kIHVvhMcGj1PI1WlK5velMw8lgK4jKWP6pAWhTU25yedhIk5FLb7x9kP/s16000/Revlon%20Suede%20Ink%20Lipsticks%20(3).JPG" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Once these are on, you can't wipe them away and even by the end of the day, they need an oily remover to get off. If you swatch these on the hand, the don't smudge or transfer, they really behave like matte liquid lipsticks. That's why I love these - you put them on and you can feel secure they won't smudge or come off quickly. However, as resilient as they are if you eat anything oily, they will wipe off.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">001 Gut Instinct</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0T9TZEiaFGO0uz_o5-JuamTYkvAqo0bVI91bhoUmkIMpLeJSiFu82TXFJLfvvSwiPfz4XnJDGWDpxfW09xHYWDdizsnhivnNFz9qMXIJGnvGrx-ZfZfadPka8mCI9-G-8sE9BIj_YUUdTFe0v2fE5hJpKgoQBnLxGsXaxOEnacTkbH4E9GVJOnXY_/s1500/Revlon%20Suede%20Ink%20Lipsticks%20(4).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0T9TZEiaFGO0uz_o5-JuamTYkvAqo0bVI91bhoUmkIMpLeJSiFu82TXFJLfvvSwiPfz4XnJDGWDpxfW09xHYWDdizsnhivnNFz9qMXIJGnvGrx-ZfZfadPka8mCI9-G-8sE9BIj_YUUdTFe0v2fE5hJpKgoQBnLxGsXaxOEnacTkbH4E9GVJOnXY_/s16000/Revlon%20Suede%20Ink%20Lipsticks%20(4).JPG" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">One of my favourite shades.

Even my super dry hair likes it. It's not drying, it cleans well and it smells nice in a nostalgic kind of way. It's basic (SLS + a tiny bit of nettle extract), but it gets the job done and it's inexpensive (less than 2 €).

It has the ability to transform my dry hair into something more normal. It's one of rare treatments that can make my perpetually stiff ends softer and in better condition (temporarily, of course).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Repurchase: <b>Yes.</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">SCHWARZKOPF Gliss 7 Sec Express Repair Treatment Ultimate Repair</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">This one of the best products that was launched in the last years and I've tried three versions already. Formula is a liquid that you apply on wet hair (I just squeeze the water out and not towel-dry it like at regular conditioner) and then you emulsify it. I like to spread it all over the hair with a comb after it's emulsified. It forms a regular conditioner type of texture. It really works in seconds and it leaves the hair feeling silky, like a conditioner with plenty of silicones, even though this has none. It's excellent for when I don't have time to leave on the mask/treatment or I use it as a type of co-wash when my hair is dry. These are truly great.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Repurchase:<b> Done</b>,</span> though other versions, but all work the same. This one has more of manly/unisex scent. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">K18 Leave-in Molecular Repair Hair Mask</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is a mini from the first try, but I have recently bought the 15 ml version so I could do a proper test with 6 successive uses, like they recommend. It does nothing on my hair. My bleached lengths are no healthier, stronger, hair doesn't break less nor is it smoother. It did nothing of note. It's a very light leave-in treatment and you need only a few millilitres of it per use, it also needs to be emulsified between the palms of the hands, something that's not written in the instructions. Without extra leave-ins, my hair would feel unnourished and like I didn't use anything.

It's a clear, light, gel-like liquid that spreads easily to a large area. I find my hair dries smoother when I use this, but it's not the only product I use after washing (<a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2021/05/new-in-108.html" target="_blank">Moroccanoil All-in-one leave-in</a> also helps my hair be smoother). As nice as it is, though, it does nothing to prevent damage.

While I don't find it makes my hair as nice as the <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2018/08/new-in-72.html" target="_blank">oil Treatment</a>, its ingredients are more impressive. It has lots of proteins and aminoacids, so it's a product that helps strengthen the hair. It's a lightweight lotion for the ends that instructions say to use on dry hair as a finisher, but I use it both on damp and dry hair, and it nicely smooths it down and hides the look of scruffy, dry ends.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Repurchase:<b> Done.</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">KÉRASTASE Resistance Serum Thérapiste</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm disappointed by this. Not by how it works, but the fact you get 15 ml of product in each of the two sides (the bottle of course states 30 ml, but you can only squeeze out both serums at once). It didn't last many uses and for the price, it's just not worth it. It's a repairing hair serum for weak, over-processed and damaged hair that is also a heat protectant. I like this more on dry hair either as heat protection or as a finishing serum cream, since it has a type of texture that's like mixing something like <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2019/08/new-in-83.html">Olaplex n.6</a> with an oily serum. It makes the hair look more polished when applied on dry hair and it has a nice list of ingredients filled with ceramides, aminoacids and hydrolised protein, but I can make such a serum myself by mixing Moroccanoil Mending Infusion with any silicone oil.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Repurchase:<b> No</b>.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">LAZARTIQUE Huile Des Reves</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">One of my most used and favourite hair products.

These three shades are the ones I'm using to hide my blonde hair, since I'm giving my hair a time off from bleaching and colouring. <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/04/april-favourites-updates-and-wishlist.html" target="_blank">Cold Brown</a> has green tones that counteract red hues on washed off brown shades, so it's not suited for hair that is blonde, as it lacks the yellow/orange/red tones, so when it's washing off the hair is blue (pick this shade if you're a brunette colouring your hair a couple of shades lighter). <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/05/may-favourites-updates-and-wishlist.html" target="_blank">Warm Brown </a>has orange tones, so the colour is a reddish brown and on blonde hair it washes off towards orange. Orange is a yellow-orange shade that you can use to refresh orange coloured hair or if you want a temporary ginger hair (only if you're a blonde). I mix orange into brown shades (Wella's mask in Chocolate Touch and Moroccanoil Cocoa) to add the much needed warmth. People say these leave their hair so soft, but they are not nourishing enough for my thick hair and the hair is stiff after use. These wash off the easiest of all such products I've tried.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Repurchase:</span> I have every shade and many boxes.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">WELLA Color Fresh Mask</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Chocolate Touch</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Another tinted hair mask. As far as nourishment goes, this one is the same as Subrina Colour Refresh, so not enough for my hair and I hated how stiff my hair felt after using this. The colour though is the best deep brown I've tried so far and it washes off towards warm tones, so with every wash the colour looks decent and presentable, however, it is bland and lacks shine. Still it's better than <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/09/september-favourites-updates-and.html" target="_blank">Moroccanoil Cocoa</a>, which washes towards purple and later grey (meaning it's a better shade for those that colour their brown hair and when the colour washes off, they are left with red tones). Both Subrina shades are lighter. By the way, none of these temporary hair masks cover greys.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Repurchase: <b>Likely</b>,</span> we'll see.

I have, however, been testing Nivea's Soft Touch Mousse and it's great.

I've seen raves and negative reviews, so it's a polarising formula. I'm actually not on either side and I think they're just ok, but not spectacular. 01 Radiant Rose is the most frequently mentioned shade, but when I swatched it in the shop, I was surprised it's so liked, as straight from the tube the colour does not look appealing, but on the cheeks it's a different story. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJLjOjiecA0WQdvJFQg-XqefF7EpFKaQgEw_ZgBoY1zsCYez8CderAUFyThBioQ2iSAHbm7PedqOP46A7FbgjumAO_xbGx4SK61EQC7vlqvX-z6xmTDTOqxh8bTW9b-Lsk27pgD8MaAZvhwvPkpGjTHBd5Vd8ffsOPoi76gmOzpP90n1zO_tY6yDPY/s1500/Max%20Factor%20Miracle%20Pure%20Blush%2001%20Radiant%20Rose%20(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJLjOjiecA0WQdvJFQg-XqefF7EpFKaQgEw_ZgBoY1zsCYez8CderAUFyThBioQ2iSAHbm7PedqOP46A7FbgjumAO_xbGx4SK61EQC7vlqvX-z6xmTDTOqxh8bTW9b-Lsk27pgD8MaAZvhwvPkpGjTHBd5Vd8ffsOPoi76gmOzpP90n1zO_tY6yDPY/s16000/Max%20Factor%20Miracle%20Pure%20Blush%2001%20Radiant%20Rose%20(2).JPG" /></a><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Formula is creamy, not too liquid nor too thick, but blending can be challenging. I'm pale, so I only need a small amount and it blends decently, though it can still look a bit uneven, especially if you spend too much time blending it, thereby shifting the product. I've had problems with it over glowy and matte foundations, on the latter it lacks creaminess to blends evenly. I find it's best to apply and blend it with fingers, starting with a small amount (a dot), then blend the edges with a sponge that I used for foundation to make a seamless transition. Applying it with a brush will just make it patchy. When I was taking pictures and like always had a hard time getting the camera to pick up the blush, I applied a few layers and that's when it started to become very problematic. It was patchy and uneven, the product was just shifting too much. So those with a deeper skin tone, who need to apply more than me, many find this a difficult product to blend nicely. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-xYqhhLO0OVRBRcylCvMdM90XkLEwiMnJ1NU5xwCUfF6XkI6nLkZBqLMSR70hy1ok4hyphenhyphenusHNisd_kOKJt2KCQBXfN3cWfZ3Hhhu2_qjN-17kZsSIDJ3WYGvRpdk2eSZOAEwekS9Xr4yQiUHeqK6rJkYLdUBSobN3tdc_QmteUbURPGwlWKr3CZRpV/s1500/Max%20Factor%20Miracle%20Pure%20Blush%2001%20Radiant%20Rose%20(5).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-xYqhhLO0OVRBRcylCvMdM90XkLEwiMnJ1NU5xwCUfF6XkI6nLkZBqLMSR70hy1ok4hyphenhyphenusHNisd_kOKJt2KCQBXfN3cWfZ3Hhhu2_qjN-17kZsSIDJ3WYGvRpdk2eSZOAEwekS9Xr4yQiUHeqK6rJkYLdUBSobN3tdc_QmteUbURPGwlWKr3CZRpV/s16000/Max%20Factor%20Miracle%20Pure%20Blush%2001%20Radiant%20Rose%20(5).JPG" /></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>Radiant Rose is nothing like the name might indicate or like the pink label showing the colour in the front.

The new formula is a big improvement. It looks so good on the skin - smooth, there's no foundation sinking into pores, it covers about a medium and the finish is a non-dry looking matte. Formula is thick, but with the RT sponge it blends seamlessly. It's not ideal for my dry skin, as my skin can feel tight with it, but with good skin care under it, it works fine. Shade C40 Light Ivory matches me ok and it's a slightly deeper shade than Revlon's Colorstay 110 Ivory. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">REAL TECHNIQUES Miracle Complexion Sponge</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This has been around for so long, it's even been in local drugstores for a few years, but I've only tried it now and I saw straight away why it's so popular. It's very soft and I find the large flat area especially useful for blending foundation. It doesn't absorb too much foundation, even when used dry and it makes the foundation look so flawless, by that I mean looking natural. It's a little bit better when used wet, but it works dry as well. </div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMUGVNWTvgd8-qNdnP5mIPUtcWSzjiXDdq5rP9f3Ael93Yce0GgLSmfiJ_CfZLrYnirvL_IZDj0sVy9PcO8injBco0J9wAmTeM5RVh1bB7bdXaYEEuNq_t3GlhAHD3PdNaeIZwpVqt-87uHJ5k2tzVyDuyxjOBrK494of1f4sYJNlyCsuh9bt80qTw/s1500/October%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(3).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMUGVNWTvgd8-qNdnP5mIPUtcWSzjiXDdq5rP9f3Ael93Yce0GgLSmfiJ_CfZLrYnirvL_IZDj0sVy9PcO8injBco0J9wAmTeM5RVh1bB7bdXaYEEuNq_t3GlhAHD3PdNaeIZwpVqt-87uHJ5k2tzVyDuyxjOBrK494of1f4sYJNlyCsuh9bt80qTw/s16000/October%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(3).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">MILANI COSMETICS Stay Put Eyeliner (01 After-Dark) and <a href="http://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2019/07/maybelline-tattoo-liner-gel-pencil.html" target="_blank">MAYBELLINE Tattoo Liner Gel Pencil (900 Deep Onyx)</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This month I started wearing black eyeliner in the waterline again after a long time. Maybelline's Tattoo Liner has been my favourite classic eyeliner for many years because it's so soft, intense black, glides on the skin easily and it lasts. Towards the end of the month I got sent Milani's eyeliner and in several ways it's even better - it's a deeper black and it lasts even longer, the only thing it's not as good as is that it doesn't glide as smoothly as Maybelline. Both are great. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/07/new-in-121.html" target="_blank">DEBORAH MILANO 24 Ore Waterproof Eye Pencil </a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/07/new-in-121.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">5 Golden Green</span> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I used this most of the month instead of an eyeshadow for an easy and quick look.

Unlike the others I own, this one has a nice warm, tropical scent and a sweet taste. It's not as impressively glossy as <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/09/new-in-133-new-catrice-products-autumn.html" target="_blank">Catrice's</a>, nor long lasting as <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/02/new-in-128.html" target="_blank">A'Pieu</a>, but that fact it's scented is a plus to me. I have the red Raspberry Peach version too, which has a candy berry scent, but I prefer the Passion Fruit Coconut one. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">REVLON Colorstay Matte Lite Crayon</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">004 Take Flight and 010 Air Kiss </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">More Revlon lip products that are great. Of course <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/10/new-in-134.html" target="_blank">Suede Ink</a> come at the top for me, but these are more classic matte lipsticks that some may find more comfortable, since they aren't dry-to-the-touch matte. These are intense, creamy and appy without dragging. Their crayon-pencil-like shape means they are precise and also suited for thin lip. There is a sharpener included in the back, so you can create a sharp tip when needed. I have 6 shades, but from the selection I mostly like the natural-looking 004 Take Flight, a nice every-day colour and 010 Air Kiss, a classy cool red. </div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT3la8QhvMZB3_01Jm8aiVmf_nfl5DVpGInrK69GC7jHArcQpXs0hz6oawTpJoh_1xlB976AO1S6oKFzaddY-_MVwScS9q3HVi-ekK2y_XufHrmvcIGIbTts1No1BQIy4AiEfs1JF7ymurOzu04wcx-cksPq7BZ8cYXkrYgH0sbLxQ5xphucsqDl0x/s1500/October%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(5).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT3la8QhvMZB3_01Jm8aiVmf_nfl5DVpGInrK69GC7jHArcQpXs0hz6oawTpJoh_1xlB976AO1S6oKFzaddY-_MVwScS9q3HVi-ekK2y_XufHrmvcIGIbTts1No1BQIy4AiEfs1JF7ymurOzu04wcx-cksPq7BZ8cYXkrYgH0sbLxQ5xphucsqDl0x/s16000/October%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(5).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/02/new-in-127-catrice-new-products-for.html" target="_blank">CATRICE Holiday Skin Bronzer & Glow Palette</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/02/new-in-127-catrice-new-products-for.html" target="_blank">010 Out of the Office</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I've been wearing <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/10/new-in-134.html" target="_blank">Essence's Baby Got Blush 01 Tickle me pink</a> that I mentioned in the <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/09/september-favourites-updates-and.html" target="_blank">last favourites</a> all month.

It produces a dense foam and doesn't feel like a sulphate-free formula - it's a joy to use. Redken says that it reinforces weakened bonds, but it's not a miraculous product, at least on my hair. I just like that it doesn't leave my hair stripped or tangled - I don't think I can expect much more on my thick hair from a shampoo that's washed off quickly, but there are many reviews that praise it as exceptional for repairing damage.

I'm a fan of the <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/09/bourjois-healthy-mix.html" target="_blank">Healthy Mix foundation</a>, even the newly reformulated one (though it used to be better). They discontinued their <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2015/09/bourjois-healthy-mix-serum-foundation.html" target="_blank">Serum formula</a> a while ago, a foundation I used for years and now they released a new "serum" version, this time the skin care/foundation hybrid that so many brands launched in the last years. Shade range is lacking, as they have two 51 shades and no 50 that I use at HM foundation, so none of the shades match me, but 51,2W is sort of the best. Formula is like all the others such foundations, a very light liquid formula and as with most the pipette doesn't pick up the formula well - I don't know what's wrong with a classic closed bottle with a pump for such formulas? Coverage is light-medium, finish is glowy from the start, but on my dry skin it eventually becomes matte. Compared to the foundation the serum covers less. Unlike most serum foundations, most notably <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/07/new-in-132.html" target="_blank">Maybelline's SuperStay Vitamin C Skin Tint Serum</a> and <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/02/new-in-127-catrice-new-products-for.html" target="_blank">Catrice's Tinted Serum</a>, this one doesn't make my skin texture obvious and looks more fresh. This formula may appeal to those that loved the old HM foundation and find the new one too shiny, as this one is much lighter and has less of a glow, but it has less coverage and they need to expand the shade range for pale shades. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It may feature in the new monthly favourites, but I'm still trying it out.

All are regular formulas, so not ideal for my lashes, but that's irrelevant for you, all you need to know is that if you're looking for a coloured mascara, these do the job. Purple may be the most interesting for those with hazel eyes for emphasizing the eye colour without going super bold, as this shade is a deeper plum. The other two, 301 Electric Blue and 500 Emerald Green are bold as the come and for those who dare more with their makeup, or for special occasions like dressing up for Carnivals/Halloween.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">WISHLIST AND WHAT'S NEW</span></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghJO9PPaPoSl498uaFJZvWgrinLVSK4CZCr6ANJsRNxW-z-fPE8VmgIKvfA7U-kWOisBGWfR9LwF0RMQt3t22hujfZfhfA1p4wQntM8AxzkNTIuschPvf9ShG3YcRG7ZcOUcQ-Z2PeVgj148SMi7anpn4kDe_rcylycd3u7fZE-3Zo3Fn2e8MRLjP-/s2000/October%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(10).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghJO9PPaPoSl498uaFJZvWgrinLVSK4CZCr6ANJsRNxW-z-fPE8VmgIKvfA7U-kWOisBGWfR9LwF0RMQt3t22hujfZfhfA1p4wQntM8AxzkNTIuschPvf9ShG3YcRG7ZcOUcQ-Z2PeVgj148SMi7anpn4kDe_rcylycd3u7fZE-3Zo3Fn2e8MRLjP-/s16000/October%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(10).jpg" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>NATASHA DENONA I need a Nude Palette</b> - a decent-looking neutral palette that isn't overly warm - still a rarity.

They are a one-swipe lip colour and once they set on the lips, which is quick, they don't wipe off or smudge, they just stay in their place like a liquid matte lipstick. Formula is thin and matte, so don't expect any nourishment from these. I can handle them fine and don't find them drying, but some may want to use a lip balm under or over them. I admire not just their amazing staying power, but also the shades. I'm a big fan of 001 Gut Instinct, which is a colour similar to my natural lips. It looks more peachy in the tube, but on the lips it's more neutral. I also really like 002 No Rules, which is a deeper nude and 008 That Girl, a light pink shade. 005 Hot Girl is also a nice shade, despite looking so warm in the tube. 014 Spit Fire feels more of a miss for me, as it's quite a muted, dirty warm red. I'd pick one of the other reds in this collection. These need an oil remover to get off. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CwLPZcSIXSf/">Video with swatches on IG</a></div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitoxIwNpaigwtGe7OBDUvLjPfdjX1w-W50GIAzTynCdKMZhTZXjCZlIHFvEr3AZKj-f2neQgab1NY4JpxdBagUyL58Nvax-2nFqFMSR-BOk9DVNBvPgEeanQmukWroUGYpC-AGy2UgJ8Ket0tmoBTom8oH_PyJuyMkPUf5I8qbJk5xEVeVxjNjH3xk/s1500/New%20in%20%23134%204%20MAX%20FACTOR%20Facefinity%20All%20Day%20Flawless%203%20in%201%20Primer,%20Concealer%20&%20Foundation.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitoxIwNpaigwtGe7OBDUvLjPfdjX1w-W50GIAzTynCdKMZhTZXjCZlIHFvEr3AZKj-f2neQgab1NY4JpxdBagUyL58Nvax-2nFqFMSR-BOk9DVNBvPgEeanQmukWroUGYpC-AGy2UgJ8Ket0tmoBTom8oH_PyJuyMkPUf5I8qbJk5xEVeVxjNjH3xk/s16000/New%20in%20%23134%204%20MAX%20FACTOR%20Facefinity%20All%20Day%20Flawless%203%20in%201%20Primer,%20Concealer%20&%20Foundation.JPG" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">MAX FACTOR Facefinity All Day Flawless 3 in 1 Primer, Concealer & Foundation</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">C40 Light Ivory, N55 Beige and N75 Golden</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">I have the <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2020/02/max-factor-facefinity-all-day-flawless.html" target="_blank">previous version </a>of this foundation and it really isn't my favourite, so when I got a set of these, I was almost certain they won't impress me. I was very wrong. They changed the formula and it looks flawless & fresh on the skin. I just love it. It can be a bit drying for my skin, but if I make sure my skin is properly hydrated, it works just fine. Coverage is about medium, finish is matte on my dry skin and despite the thick, creamy texture it blends seamlessly into the skin, especially with the help of RT sponge. The old formula was difficult to blend and felt thick, but the new one finally melts in to the skin like it should, instead just sitting on it. It also looks great in pictures. Shade C40 Light Ivory surprisingly fits me - I'm so glad about that. These other two shades are much darker, somewhere in the range of Revlon's shades that start with 200.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3uN1TyChD1Mm0HKCaAzDZHtUZVtclghPv1zSsEv5UtMHjW35ge0ZV3m2fWh4_jGbBOJLf9DGTy8idiW0UI14WqT1VmSFhtQcK3xMevG2cU5qL1eJbytVoWXXaWuRfxXp175lmsS-kQ7mlTyN9oOYgdjWO6nINM1kRfTkUWusXc8GuF1e5ZDPqpO_B/s1500/New%20in%20%23134%205%20MAX%20FACTOR%20Facefinity%20Universal%20Primer,%20REAL%20TECHNIQUES%20Miracle%20Complexion%20Sponge.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3uN1TyChD1Mm0HKCaAzDZHtUZVtclghPv1zSsEv5UtMHjW35ge0ZV3m2fWh4_jGbBOJLf9DGTy8idiW0UI14WqT1VmSFhtQcK3xMevG2cU5qL1eJbytVoWXXaWuRfxXp175lmsS-kQ7mlTyN9oOYgdjWO6nINM1kRfTkUWusXc8GuF1e5ZDPqpO_B/s16000/New%20in%20%23134%205%20MAX%20FACTOR%20Facefinity%20Universal%20Primer,%20REAL%20TECHNIQUES%20Miracle%20Complexion%20Sponge.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">MAX FACTOR Facefinity Universal Primer</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This promises a lot and a Max Factor describes it as "a mattifying, long-lasting makeup primer that minimises the appearance of pores, giving your skin an airbrush finish. Imperfections are blurred & smoothed with the ultra-lightweight, silky-to-powder texture that blends effortlessly and keeps skin feeling hydrated". At such a description, I expected a completely different primer, namely one of those thick, silicone primers that fill the pores and leaves a dry-to-the-touch velvety finish. But this is more like a smoothing hydrating primer. It's not dry-to-the-touch, it doesn't hide pores and even on my skin I don't find it properly mattifying. Precisely because of that, this works on my dry skin and it helps prevent mat foundations be too draining on me. Aside from that the other effect I noticed is that it prolongs the staying power of makeup well - I tested it with one side of the face with a primer and the other without, the side with looked better at the end of the day. </div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2q9yFGHqFdxCPTFzKqQT39lcLKzDweuMWKsLvM-6PJYWrjzXN9RMsJ7u1BTRjUjBBTElllyZ5fPYSWCl4_zq71RSttNxaDJlN18wMUaxHoJZkUI2cSEp7KYaFLyEDA1lRK6hU7kPFvG01yIQ_BQTqnoF1zaO9wMNiaOgf3nSUP5_7__S1-tT9y931/s1500/New%20in%20%23134%206%20REAL%20TECHNIQUES%20Miracle%20Complexion%20Sponge.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2q9yFGHqFdxCPTFzKqQT39lcLKzDweuMWKsLvM-6PJYWrjzXN9RMsJ7u1BTRjUjBBTElllyZ5fPYSWCl4_zq71RSttNxaDJlN18wMUaxHoJZkUI2cSEp7KYaFLyEDA1lRK6hU7kPFvG01yIQ_BQTqnoF1zaO9wMNiaOgf3nSUP5_7__S1-tT9y931/s16000/New%20in%20%23134%206%20REAL%20TECHNIQUES%20Miracle%20Complexion%20Sponge.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">REAL TECHNIQUES Miracle Complexion Sponge</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I know I've been living under a rock for not trying this by now, but to be fair I was perfectly happy with my cheaper <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/05/new-in-120.html" target="_blank">Ebelin sponge</a> and I stopped trying new things. I'm genuinely impressed by this one and I haven't used anything else for foundation since I got it. It's so soft and bouncy, even more than the Ebelin one. Unlike the latter, this one perform better when wet, something I'm a bit lazy to do before applying makeup, so I use this one dry as well and it works just fine. I like the big flat area for blending foundation, it's much larger than at Ebelin one, and I use the tip just for concealer. It makes the foundation look so flawless and natural-looking, which I appreciate especially at more high coverage (matte) formulas. I always thought that this sponge surely can't be that special compared to others, but it's really good. </div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin9_NTUKcusBuW03jGKNHz8M2SMuK7q7Gkz-aCY5DYcPBo2bKJCvEpCMmYH55WUgqyJzHSUEyTIqLd7pP6SjgwwyeD2H1kVAqBDZiW8HOecQ6-8cCsI1t8x5J5XdjmNySovgOCNs65_p3ctpbg_LR_Mg_xtCpldU8Dq5BBdk5vuaDGg114nenG8Vb7/s1500/New%20in%20%23134%207%20ESSENCE%20%20Baby%20Got%20Blush%2001%20Tickle%20me%20pink,%20ESSENCE%208h%20Matte%20Liquid%20Lipstick%2005%20Pink%20blush.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin9_NTUKcusBuW03jGKNHz8M2SMuK7q7Gkz-aCY5DYcPBo2bKJCvEpCMmYH55WUgqyJzHSUEyTIqLd7pP6SjgwwyeD2H1kVAqBDZiW8HOecQ6-8cCsI1t8x5J5XdjmNySovgOCNs65_p3ctpbg_LR_Mg_xtCpldU8Dq5BBdk5vuaDGg114nenG8Vb7/s16000/New%20in%20%23134%207%20ESSENCE%20%20Baby%20Got%20Blush%2001%20Tickle%20me%20pink,%20ESSENCE%208h%20Matte%20Liquid%20Lipstick%2005%20Pink%20blush.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">ESSENCE Baby Got Blush</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">01 Tickle me pink</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This was finally in stock 6 months after the launch, but only this shade (out of two) and not the bronzers. Formula is not as soft and smooth as at Catrice's version of a cream blush, <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/02/new-in-127-catrice-new-products-for.html">Cheek Flirt Stick</a>, so it doesn't glide super smoothly. It can take off foundation, so it's best to apply this with a brush, rather than swiping it on and blending with fingers - though you'll get an ok result if you do that too, but with a brush it looks nicer. Pigmentation is about medium, so I apply two layers. This shade is a cute leaning-to-cool pink - it's a rarity in my collection, since such shades always pull warm on me and this one creates a proper baby doll flush. It's heavily scented with the aroma of watermelon. I've been wearing this pretty much exclusively since I got it, it's really nice. It's on my cheeks in the picture with the liquid lipstick.</div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTa7TeXNkbCiw44kTpgjB_-5_yp1qe8G8JlejW5oDclBu-gtgcZW2-6Pl-kw1ZlRoIJ-wK9-mS5ka0URTQNCa3NNpR99QHUYcHO71McXiUHqK_uaURx79srpcZcI_syffq0vn98YbWnrfM4Y5L1IalssFHltMtFgh3XI1-ML1vQaAE0Or4VVaAA7Jy/s1500/New%20in%20%23134%208%20ESSENCE%208h%20Matte%20Liquid%20Lipstick%2005%20Pink%20blush.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTa7TeXNkbCiw44kTpgjB_-5_yp1qe8G8JlejW5oDclBu-gtgcZW2-6Pl-kw1ZlRoIJ-wK9-mS5ka0URTQNCa3NNpR99QHUYcHO71McXiUHqK_uaURx79srpcZcI_syffq0vn98YbWnrfM4Y5L1IalssFHltMtFgh3XI1-ML1vQaAE0Or4VVaAA7Jy/s16000/New%20in%20%23134%208%20ESSENCE%208h%20Matte%20Liquid%20Lipstick%2005%20Pink%20blush.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicDOe1UbYx32WMoa6sKVtLQYeOP8od6lc4S4WMEJOjr_pHq9VWFiVIsagaqA80gVTEalpwfj3YfWajriyaeiNKcelFDBY9eqMSAYZKHtEXzMapILxU-Q40c9SkOiNcafwzuq9e5FUmCbOkHiz_7DYKgC670GLACNjr8zz3-CMaQjORCanHFzEBJ-2c/s1500/New%20in%20%23134%209%20ESSENCE%208h%20Matte%20Liquid%20Lipstick%2005%20Pink%20blush.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicDOe1UbYx32WMoa6sKVtLQYeOP8od6lc4S4WMEJOjr_pHq9VWFiVIsagaqA80gVTEalpwfj3YfWajriyaeiNKcelFDBY9eqMSAYZKHtEXzMapILxU-Q40c9SkOiNcafwzuq9e5FUmCbOkHiz_7DYKgC670GLACNjr8zz3-CMaQjORCanHFzEBJ-2c/s16000/New%20in%20%23134%209%20ESSENCE%208h%20Matte%20Liquid%20Lipstick%2005%20Pink%20blush.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">ESSENCE 8h Matte Liquid Lipstick</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">05 Pink blush</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I already have this in <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/05/new-in-130-essence-spring-2023.html" target="_blank">a gorgeous red shade</a> and though I'm not super keen on the formula, as it's not the best quality one compared to some, I wanted something pink and this looked like what I was looking for. It's less vibrant than what I had in mind, but it's a pretty shade nonetheless. Formula is thin, yet creamy. It sets matte quickly and it's not a formula those with dry lips will love, but I can handle it well. After it sets it doesn't transfer. Staying power is not impressive for such a product, though it still lasts many hours on the lips. </div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinkTVtL30IO_SaOegFlAqdv1deXIHoVL8004lwaFC5hZVntBd4a5wmRWqb_cSg6RUNbRXum82gQQ78rULEKuMWUrk5L1vP-2zL5W72icU5SpTk8nZn4MXNVJZOQAUgpe84N0HAGe2owo3u9nKtUgnSDAy9mIW1e4vtmczf6vXHycG5JsWo6zrXEEZk/s1500/New%20in%20%23134%2010%20BOURJOIS%20Velvet%20The%20Pencil%2001%20Nudifull,%2002%20Amou-Rose,%2003%20In%20Mauve%20Again,%2006%20Framboise%20Griff%C3%A9e%20and%2007%20Rouge%20Es-Carmin,%20Twist%20Up%20Multiplied%20Lashes%20Mascara.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinkTVtL30IO_SaOegFlAqdv1deXIHoVL8004lwaFC5hZVntBd4a5wmRWqb_cSg6RUNbRXum82gQQ78rULEKuMWUrk5L1vP-2zL5W72icU5SpTk8nZn4MXNVJZOQAUgpe84N0HAGe2owo3u9nKtUgnSDAy9mIW1e4vtmczf6vXHycG5JsWo6zrXEEZk/s16000/New%20in%20%23134%2010%20BOURJOIS%20Velvet%20The%20Pencil%2001%20Nudifull,%2002%20Amou-Rose,%2003%20In%20Mauve%20Again,%2006%20Framboise%20Griff%C3%A9e%20and%2007%20Rouge%20Es-Carmin,%20Twist%20Up%20Multiplied%20Lashes%20Mascara.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">BOURJOIS Velvet The Pencil</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">01 Nudifull, 02 Amou-Rose, 03 In Mauve Again, 06 Framboise Griffée and 07 Rouge Es-Carmin</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I had my eye on these ever since they launched and I like all of the shades available here, so you can imagine the how delighted I was to get these in the mail. Bourjois had such pencils before, but I don't know if they are the same just with a different writing/packaging or an improved formula. Claims mention them being waterproof, transfer-proof, matte, comfortable, easy to use and precise. These have a great pigmentation, are very creamy and don't drag on the lips. They are matte, but not dry/fully matte, so they feel comfortable, but they aren't nourishing/moisturising. I wouldn't say they are transfer-proof, but they last on the lips well. 01 Nudifull, 02 Amou-Rose and 03 In Mauve Again are about the same depth, the difference is in the undertones: 01 is a warm beige, 02 a warm light pink and 03 a mauve light rose. I in particular love shade 03, as it end up most neutral on my lips. 06 Framboise Griffée is a surprise, as the tube shows a much more subdued rosy-red shade, but it packs a punch, as it's a very vibrant warm magenta. It's formula is also the most matte one. 07 Rouge Es-Carmin is a neutral, classic red. Though they are pencils, I can't say they are so precise you could use them as a lip liner, unless you manage to wear them down to a finer tip. I miss a sharpener like at the Revlon's Crayons for sharpening the tip. These have a wind up mechanism. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CxTQJvWICzK/" target="_blank">Video with swatches on IG</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">BOURJOIS Twist Up Multiplied Lashes Mascara</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">There are several versions of these Twist Up mascaras, I saw 4 online, but not this precise version on Slovene's DM website. I had a similar mascara before (from <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2019/02/deborah-milano-double-effect-volume.html" target="_blank">Deborah</a>) and it's one of those that have a changing brush. It's a long, silicone brush with sparse bristles in step one and when you twist the top of the wand, it become shorter with the bristles closer together. Step one is designed to define the lashes and fan them out, and then the second for adding volume. I've tried it both ways, so trying step 1, then 2, and reverse and results are best the 1-2 method. Step one defines the lashes well, for now I think the formula is still too fresh to hold well, so lashes become "undefined" again quickly. Step two adds a good amount of volume. Using just step 2 straight away end up looking messy for my taste. It's a mascara that doesn't completely dry on the lashes, so touching my eyes quickly ends up a mess. It doesn't flake, but it can smudge. It doesn't hold the lashes curled, but that's obvious since it's a regular formula.</div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN8Oam9TCLL61s4TPb1aiLih01S6AIWAxVkR_zNRPmhbz4gZMoLmILJWlo3lwaqZvDQjSoZ_3r1rZSpRedhJ19m8LEyfbPDsUMH7Qu3ZjhQFYcEdgwHd_RqVWq9RZlWsnuaZoiahtLdWtYk_T6aUFjdWQCAW_Lj-ZSCPVoLpZ34RjJyrnz1utYtHNz/s1500/New%20in%20%23134%2011%20REVLON%20Colorstay%20Matte%20Lite%20Crayon%20002%20Clear%20the%20Air,%20004%20Take%20Flight,%20006%20Lift%20off%20008%20She's%20Fly,%20009%20Ruffled%20Feathers%20and%20010%20Air%20Kiss).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN8Oam9TCLL61s4TPb1aiLih01S6AIWAxVkR_zNRPmhbz4gZMoLmILJWlo3lwaqZvDQjSoZ_3r1rZSpRedhJ19m8LEyfbPDsUMH7Qu3ZjhQFYcEdgwHd_RqVWq9RZlWsnuaZoiahtLdWtYk_T6aUFjdWQCAW_Lj-ZSCPVoLpZ34RjJyrnz1utYtHNz/s16000/New%20in%20%23134%2011%20REVLON%20Colorstay%20Matte%20Lite%20Crayon%20002%20Clear%20the%20Air,%20004%20Take%20Flight,%20006%20Lift%20off%20008%20She's%20Fly,%20009%20Ruffled%20Feathers%20and%20010%20Air%20Kiss).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">REVLON Colorstay Matte Lite Crayon</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">002 Clear the Air, 004 Take Flight, 006 Lift off 008 She's Fly, 009 Ruffled Feathers and 010 Air Kiss </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">These are new in Slovenia, but they have been on the market for at least a year - longer than Suede Ink lipsticks. Honestly, since I tried Suede formula, it's going to be hard to impress me and these aren't quite as good, but it is more comfortable formula, as it's not dry-to-the-touch matte. These are intense, creamy and they glide on the lips with ease. They are meant to be lip liners and lipsticks in one, but for absolute precision you need to sharpen it almost before every use - the sharpener is included in the back of the crayon. They are very similar to the <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2020/04/maybelline-superstay-ink-crayon-25-stay.html" target="_blank">Maybelline's Ink Crayons</a> and both are good. I'm not loving the shade range as much as at Suede Ink, thought this one has the best red from the Revlon lipsticks I own (which are many). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CytVsKGIMdr/" target="_blank">Video with swatches on IG</a></div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8j-Zu1ylOuF5EfCMNyn6hptp7Lgtt9G9T1suhPZlnfcFw9usHcyNPW2widAaX9UPdHikMzZAbb-dABvqdrsKNuK6qSUi7K10Q3KF_yS3j-DG2CMXh_bH0_H4l3iq0RoEocjpbg7dDD-qddTW8DFFsWepnSmjNBdnFxYSvbxcafJ09lwXaU_7_YZEg/s1500/New%20in%20%23134%2012%20PUPA%20Vamp!%20Mascara%20100%20Extra%20Black,%20301%20Electric%20Blue,%20400%20Amethyst%20Violet,%20500%20Emerald%20Green,%20504%20Military%20Green.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8j-Zu1ylOuF5EfCMNyn6hptp7Lgtt9G9T1suhPZlnfcFw9usHcyNPW2widAaX9UPdHikMzZAbb-dABvqdrsKNuK6qSUi7K10Q3KF_yS3j-DG2CMXh_bH0_H4l3iq0RoEocjpbg7dDD-qddTW8DFFsWepnSmjNBdnFxYSvbxcafJ09lwXaU_7_YZEg/s16000/New%20in%20%23134%2012%20PUPA%20Vamp!%20Mascara%20100%20Extra%20Black,%20301%20Electric%20Blue,%20400%20Amethyst%20Violet,%20500%20Emerald%20Green,%20504%20Military%20Green.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">PUPA Vamp!

I loved the one black so much, I bought the <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/10/pupa-milano-vamp-waterproof-mascara.html" target="_blank">waterproof version</a> later. This time I got a few brighter shades. 301 Electric blue is a bright blue shade that shows up on the lashes well. 400 Amethys Violet is already deeper and not as visible, but the way I clumsily apply mascara, so it ends up on my skin, you can see the pretty violet colour effect. Shade 500 is new in Slovenia and Croatia. You get the a vibrant turquoise colour on the lashes, intense just like at Electric blue. Military green is too dark and looks a classic black on the eyelashes. Vamp formula is one of the best, as it's very volumising and lengthening. If you're looking for good coloured mascaras that show up even on dark lashes without having to use a white primer/base, Pupa's are great. </div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIjLyKN34w8T9vRt_5x2i1bfvrboGSFJeZorxI2X5UstV52r40HDAKoBGJBl-No22hstal102KW09LIT9XN02Q2CLC8FGuppUO7D-YTninTBGMYnzTVAJT-jOWmK4sb547A4r6mGuuRNWhGfBK6bUejvkFMA1iOJxs90WsqxkvyID0-wunF3F9SGy0/s1500/New%20in%20%23134%2013%20PUPA%20Vamp!%20Mascara%20301%20Electric%20Blue,%20400%20Amethyst%20Violet,%20500%20Emerald%20Green.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIjLyKN34w8T9vRt_5x2i1bfvrboGSFJeZorxI2X5UstV52r40HDAKoBGJBl-No22hstal102KW09LIT9XN02Q2CLC8FGuppUO7D-YTninTBGMYnzTVAJT-jOWmK4sb547A4r6mGuuRNWhGfBK6bUejvkFMA1iOJxs90WsqxkvyID0-wunF3F9SGy0/s16000/New%20in%20%23134%2013%20PUPA%20Vamp!%20Mascara%20301%20Electric%20Blue,%20400%20Amethyst%20Violet,%20500%20Emerald%20Green.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoqzuX3JeODKvjYat-u_JQ1GdnyRrsQu4RxUOIRozN0msW4MfbezybIEWqVQ0hgJxCJT0hNVNAglWS-hJwnb8AfSEFBd4pZ5a5fXGCPrvJTu4Wl5HTX9M9HrZwGwD-2-84HJXuS9rXhS8Um1Db49tWif4627OwdgDOLG51BMuud7DmpaTrFWJfLinU/s1500/New%20in%20%23134%2014%20PUPA%20Vamp!%20Mascara%20300%20Deep%20Night,%20301%20Electric%20Blue,%20400%20Amethyst%20Violet,%20500%20Emerald%20Green,%20504%20Military%20Green.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoqzuX3JeODKvjYat-u_JQ1GdnyRrsQu4RxUOIRozN0msW4MfbezybIEWqVQ0hgJxCJT0hNVNAglWS-hJwnb8AfSEFBd4pZ5a5fXGCPrvJTu4Wl5HTX9M9HrZwGwD-2-84HJXuS9rXhS8Um1Db49tWif4627OwdgDOLG51BMuud7DmpaTrFWJfLinU/s16000/New%20in%20%23134%2014%20PUPA%20Vamp!%20Mascara%20300%20Deep%20Night,%20301%20Electric%20Blue,%20400%20Amethyst%20Violet,%20500%20Emerald%20Green,%20504%20Military%20Green.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnw4ykiUFiI5BIOJPCGbHI249Qqtb6hpOW5eWIjcdIsn9HHMQxOvIpVzIXqghWbpgXqaA3kqJC7XpuMmD06hyphenhyphen7toqHZ9STihoFwB5d22Dti1Hu3oP0raI4qr_VjXfm6qJNfQGCnqGt9JdFm8PsEFziFz_1M8Xnk9NdcElZ8J6i95TKdJdbe7P2t_PC/s1582/New%20in%20%23134%2015%20PUPA%20Vamp!%20Mascara%20301%20Electric%20Blue,%20400%20Amethyst%20Violet,%20500%20Emerald%20Green.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1582" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnw4ykiUFiI5BIOJPCGbHI249Qqtb6hpOW5eWIjcdIsn9HHMQxOvIpVzIXqghWbpgXqaA3kqJC7XpuMmD06hyphenhyphen7toqHZ9STihoFwB5d22Dti1Hu3oP0raI4qr_VjXfm6qJNfQGCnqGt9JdFm8PsEFziFz_1M8Xnk9NdcElZ8J6i95TKdJdbe7P2t_PC/s16000/New%20in%20%23134%2015%20PUPA%20Vamp!%20Mascara%20301%20Electric%20Blue,%20400%20Amethyst%20Violet,%20500%20Emerald%20Green.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWg3Pe8zI93kV-q5nKmke9NDMEQ5FJhwYzKlOUVwJyRrSks60NqEQQGvsL9mupFBDeSKz1ADwPAfRGpBPTaYj6PbjC-NQbAvfCdnwvMTW6oJ-31Gd4N4WlkdiWsnVMYnFzXZNSlh8mPSFz7mYdxADhoz3kP5v8sfrCuKulxLqqkB3LJgSl_6vLM_Lh/s1500/New%20in%20%23134%2016%20MILANI%20COSMETICS%20Highly%20Rated%20Lash%20Extensions%20Mascara,%20Stay%20Put%20Eyeliner.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWg3Pe8zI93kV-q5nKmke9NDMEQ5FJhwYzKlOUVwJyRrSks60NqEQQGvsL9mupFBDeSKz1ADwPAfRGpBPTaYj6PbjC-NQbAvfCdnwvMTW6oJ-31Gd4N4WlkdiWsnVMYnFzXZNSlh8mPSFz7mYdxADhoz3kP5v8sfrCuKulxLqqkB3LJgSl_6vLM_Lh/s16000/New%20in%20%23134%2016%20MILANI%20COSMETICS%20Highly%20Rated%20Lash%20Extensions%20Mascara,%20Stay%20Put%20Eyeliner.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">MILANI COSMETICS Highly Rated Lash Extensions Mascara</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This is a tubing mascara, which means it can be removed just with warm water. It's interesting to see how the whole coat / tube comes off in a single piece of the lashes when removing it, but I like to follow up with a cleanser, even though water gets pretty much all of it off. This is a great mascara for adding length. As far as volume goes it's ok, but it fails at definition, as it starts to stick lashes together. It's best to keep a separate clean brush at hand, but I expect this mascara with become thicker and hopefully more defining in time. It's a regular formula, so it doesn't hold my lashes curled.</div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicucY532POoRfCk5tvjAjz9-lx19XTQmFLuvRHDF7wttiDPw5Du2kd0FoimqF5Y9d9ZCwyMtCDKT1lRJy1r_zvOXBPlcM_PPgDfy95ffVpjPVlwRvsycJUPxcptsMzZwzfbBG6e-f-2RbHvJK3UB5mW9Rvl0M0XgnKLKW24y6sJPF_WeGmeFko01YK/s1500/New%20in%20%23134%2017%20MILANI%20COSMETICS%20Highly%20Rated%20Lash%20Extensions%20Mascara,%20Stay%20Put%20Eyeliner..JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicucY532POoRfCk5tvjAjz9-lx19XTQmFLuvRHDF7wttiDPw5Du2kd0FoimqF5Y9d9ZCwyMtCDKT1lRJy1r_zvOXBPlcM_PPgDfy95ffVpjPVlwRvsycJUPxcptsMzZwzfbBG6e-f-2RbHvJK3UB5mW9Rvl0M0XgnKLKW24y6sJPF_WeGmeFko01YK/s16000/New%20in%20%23134%2017%20MILANI%20COSMETICS%20Highly%20Rated%20Lash%20Extensions%20Mascara,%20Stay%20Put%20Eyeliner..JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">MILANI COSMETICS Stay Put Eyeliner</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This is quite impressive. I was using a <a href="http://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2019/07/maybelline-tattoo-liner-gel-pencil.html" target="_blank">Maybelline Tattoo eyeliner</a> before I got sent this and I've long consider it as my favourite, but Milani's turned out to be even more intense. It's such a deep black and it manages to stay in the waterline even at the end of the day, albeit somewhat faded. On the top lashline I wish it were a bit creamier, so it could glide smoother, but the line is very intense and stays put.</div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyj5PsRiV8kytXZHLRxDuAv0sj_YCthSiOgw9aaOGzSGEbJCLmng0jZzQYf-KHJA-1PD6kx7GJgWhuEOJFQ8-hG3_XT5RyvHKbZMqvvYKXATToPuQJyLPeIqWTzGG11nepatlKzfmvZTWtZYyOgjKxOliy2DY6uwKaZuQMkK4o70-rKm5d1gYMuZsd/s1500/New%20in%20%23134%2018%20MILANI%20COSMETICS%20Baked%20Highlighter%20120%20Champagne%20d'Oro,%20Blush%2005%20Luminoso,%20Make%20it%20Last%20sprey.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyj5PsRiV8kytXZHLRxDuAv0sj_YCthSiOgw9aaOGzSGEbJCLmng0jZzQYf-KHJA-1PD6kx7GJgWhuEOJFQ8-hG3_XT5RyvHKbZMqvvYKXATToPuQJyLPeIqWTzGG11nepatlKzfmvZTWtZYyOgjKxOliy2DY6uwKaZuQMkK4o70-rKm5d1gYMuZsd/s16000/New%20in%20%23134%2018%20MILANI%20COSMETICS%20Baked%20Highlighter%20120%20Champagne%20d'Oro,%20Blush%2005%20Luminoso,%20Make%20it%20Last%20sprey.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">MILANI COSMETICS Make it Last Setting Spray</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I have a LE version of this spray, <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/09/milani-flora-collection.html">Flora</a>, which is scented. This one has no scent, but it’s otherwise the same. It does the job of prolonging the staying power of makeup and it can be used as a priming mist too. It's not my favourites, as that honour goes to <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/07/new-in-121.html" target="_blank">Revlon's Colorstay Lock</a> and in the second place is Urban Decay's famous<a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/07/new-in-122.html" target="_blank"> All Nighter Spray</a>, but this one isn't far behind those two and I like the ingredients of Milani's most, as it has niacinamide. The spray pump is not the best, as I wish the mist were more fine. There are several large drops when I spray it and it takes some time to dry, but like I said, it does the job of keeping the makeup looking fresh for longer. </div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzSQFnvKsZlio3iCZIYPg9mrSnFeg5r09txNs4zA5-zL5uG4iS1ih3cS1-105tKRua_QKAN3N9lkL-NSAJipEGQX64ll2qqX01IzT2iZkAVvNeKAxHNoT1H0yQVTcUYY-q9iydekRsj81qHVwJLbMS4Jw2H-gvXNpUEvs-fxXfwpHWb-YXnFlhDzT_/s1500/New%20in%20%23134%2019%20MILANI%20COSMETICS%20Baked%20Highlighter%20120%20Champagne%20d'Oro,%20Blush%2005%20Luminoso.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzSQFnvKsZlio3iCZIYPg9mrSnFeg5r09txNs4zA5-zL5uG4iS1ih3cS1-105tKRua_QKAN3N9lkL-NSAJipEGQX64ll2qqX01IzT2iZkAVvNeKAxHNoT1H0yQVTcUYY-q9iydekRsj81qHVwJLbMS4Jw2H-gvXNpUEvs-fxXfwpHWb-YXnFlhDzT_/s16000/New%20in%20%23134%2019%20MILANI%20COSMETICS%20Baked%20Highlighter%20120%20Champagne%20d'Oro,%20Blush%2005%20Luminoso.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">MILANI COSMETICS Baked Highlighter</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">120 Champagne d'Oro</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">A very pigmented highlighter that looks a lot more beige-champagne in the pan than on my cheeks. It's quite gold and I don't find it suits my skin tone, but on warmer, deeper tones than mine, it should look great. It's intense quickly on the cheeks and the shimmer is more on the larger side compared to my other highlighters, but it's not chunky. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">MILANI COSMETICS Baked Powder Blush</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">05 Luminoso</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">If I remember correctly this is the most popular shade of these baked blushes - at least it was in the past. I've tested it in the shop when we got these and immediately knew this won't be for me, so I picked <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/06/milani-baked-blush-petal-primavera.html" target="_blank">Petal Primavera</a> instead (and I still want the pink 01 Dolce Pink, since I find Primavera too warm for my liking.) It's an apricot orange blush with not a hint of pink. On my very pale, neutral skin tone it looks orange, so it's definitely not my colour, but as Milani shows in their pictures, on deeper skin tones it looks pinker or peachy-pink, as it happens with all such shades. It's a very intense shade, so I need a light hand, but even with a small amount, the glow is visible, as it has very fine shimmer. Now that it's new, the powder is very loose, but Petal Primavera was exactly like it and in time that layer got used up and it's a nice smooth blush now. Staying power is excellent, as it lasts all day on my cheeks. </div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBGVZLEbo6egCzxhXnTKfYqKjo7pS-mkYq8xRDl2wwgO2DHxdJmD7B3W0vz4ArNkm3IExSqbBOlsaz477rCE7M6nfW6z8AuWWYEkNLEy5bvFNdHich_Tzs6i0ug_viF3t-9M9-q2EDnpXOJ_yyblWKjzs-Oe7GlxnBw98q3vkMcaWsyK-FTFAgP9DD/s1500/New%20in%20%23134%2020%20MILANI%20COSMETICS%20Fruit%20Fetish%20Lip%20Oil%20Passion%20Fruit%20Coconut%20and%20Raspberry%20Peach,%20%20Stay%20Put%20%20Liquid%20Lip%20Longwear%20Lipstick%20120%2010-10%20and%20150%20Snatched.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBGVZLEbo6egCzxhXnTKfYqKjo7pS-mkYq8xRDl2wwgO2DHxdJmD7B3W0vz4ArNkm3IExSqbBOlsaz477rCE7M6nfW6z8AuWWYEkNLEy5bvFNdHich_Tzs6i0ug_viF3t-9M9-q2EDnpXOJ_yyblWKjzs-Oe7GlxnBw98q3vkMcaWsyK-FTFAgP9DD/s16000/New%20in%20%23134%2020%20MILANI%20COSMETICS%20Fruit%20Fetish%20Lip%20Oil%20Passion%20Fruit%20Coconut%20and%20Raspberry%20Peach,%20%20Stay%20Put%20%20Liquid%20Lip%20Longwear%20Lipstick%20120%2010-10%20and%20150%20Snatched.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">MILANI COSMETICS Fruit Fetish Lip Oil</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Passion Fruit Coconut and Raspberry Peach</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I've tried a few lip oils by now and this is another nice, nourishing formula.

Milani's have a very lovely fragrance: the yellow passion fruit coconut version has a warm, tropical scent and the red raspberry peach has a sweet berry scent. They also have a sweet taste. Both shades are clear or in a thick coat have a gentle tint. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">MILANI COSMETICS Stay Put Liquid Lip Longwear Lipstick</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">120 10/10 and 150 Snatched </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I used to own <a href="http://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.si/2016/03/milani-amore-matte-lip-creme-gorgeous.html" target="_blank">Milani's liquid lipstick</a> in a square tube. I don't know if these are repackaged or improved or a separate new line. They are full opaque with one swipe and start to set to a matte finish quickly. They can feel tight on the lips, especially if your lips are often dry - but that's the deal with liquid matte lipsticks and I can manage just fine with these new Milani ones. I'm mostly not aware they are on. Staying power is great like at most matte liquid lipstick and they can survive drinking or eating (non-greasy foods), but I've tried some that were even more impressive. Shade 10/10 is a deep beige on my pale skin and it should be a nice nude shade on deeper skins. Snatched is a medium neutral pink. </div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWg7PumOwOuXO-a9V0_awTjXEyQYXcS0eCW5jFyATCLDU3TduPVw399rsYut1GjQhTya6vCdZNFqOfI7gERrDJzvwk5PXRYuaY70ty5DKpvmg9IS-UY1Lsatqjqhsq7Jz_cgR1SgKTTG43ZJ1TOYwxZIaHFBY1oAm1N8aib3i__WICOBYq_E4EsjU_/s1500/New%20in%20%23134%2021%20S-HE%20Gel-Like'n%20Ultra%20Stay%20Nail%20Polish%20245%20and%20310.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWg7PumOwOuXO-a9V0_awTjXEyQYXcS0eCW5jFyATCLDU3TduPVw399rsYut1GjQhTya6vCdZNFqOfI7gERrDJzvwk5PXRYuaY70ty5DKpvmg9IS-UY1Lsatqjqhsq7Jz_cgR1SgKTTG43ZJ1TOYwxZIaHFBY1oAm1N8aib3i__WICOBYq_E4EsjU_/s16000/New%20in%20%23134%2021%20S-HE%20Gel-Like'n%20Ultra%20Stay%20Nail%20Polish%20245%20and%20310.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">S-HE Gel-Like'n Ultra Stay Nail Polish</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">245 and 310</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I noticed S-he stand has a nice selection of nail polish shades when I was looking for replacements for my aging stash.

The nude 245 has a somewhat of an odd formula, as the first layer sort of separates, like I were applying it over an oily surface (I didn't), but the second layer fixes all and it's a nice opaque and even shade. The deep plum 310 is a jelly shade that's even with the first coat, but isn't opaque until the second coat. Staying power is average on me, meaning good.</div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS84bWUhE1YwjIami20YG2O_HHZY-jBX0jKQJSWtcm1lbHKZHCmtmTw-0t-hiprb-3b0Q4G82xbzzDX4MTGTx3NnJ07s0zxnCbm-ZTyqFVke4YIIV7HWVP8d6aNq44quex-uN7znlr2_mXYzHepY6wSMEwac0-JJWDA5RE-VKDXfNsnvobH3LcHgcH/s1500/New%20in%20%23134%2022%20%20ESSENCE%20Gel%20Nail%20Colour%2047%20Pink%20Ink.,%20Ebelin%20Augenpads.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS84bWUhE1YwjIami20YG2O_HHZY-jBX0jKQJSWtcm1lbHKZHCmtmTw-0t-hiprb-3b0Q4G82xbzzDX4MTGTx3NnJ07s0zxnCbm-ZTyqFVke4YIIV7HWVP8d6aNq44quex-uN7znlr2_mXYzHepY6wSMEwac0-JJWDA5RE-VKDXfNsnvobH3LcHgcH/s16000/New%20in%20%23134%2022%20%20ESSENCE%20Gel%20Nail%20Colour%2047%20Pink%20Ink.,%20Ebelin%20Augenpads.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">EBELIN Eye Pads</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i>Augenpads</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I had this on my list to pick up since the launch, but they aren't worth it. They are meant to be a replacement for hydrogel gel pads and can be combined with any (eye) cream/serum/lotion. They stick well even over a large amount of eye cream, however, they don't feel at all refreshing like hydrogels. They feel hot and almost suffocating - maybe they are better if they were kept in the fridge, but I think they may warm up quickly and they don't let the skin breathe.

I got send<a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/03/new-in-117.html"> the entire line</a> a while back and this is my favourite product in the bunch and so far the one I've used up. It contains the highest amount of Neoglucosamine or Acetyl Glucosamine, the new potentially “it” ingredient that is a super hydrator, supposedly has an anti-ageing effect and fades hyperpigmentation. It's more a lotion than a serum and it contains tiny shimmer. The latter creates an instant illuminating effect, so it's like one of those glowy primers , but I actually never use it in my morning routine, just my night one. Does it make my skin more bright - I noticed nothing special, but my skin is in nice condition and I like using it.

It's quite unique, as it's very light for an oil that contains just proper oils and no silicones, and it has an effect that resembles silicone oils. It's got a dry oil texture and it's the lightest such oil I've tried, so I can use more often than other regular oils before my hair starts feeling like it needs a wash. It also doesn't it start smelling rancid on the hair in the following days like some other oils do (like coconut). I either use this as an overnight treatment or in the morning to tame nourish dry hair and tame the frizz. It's so expensive, but I've grown to really love it in the years I've been using it and I use it several times a week. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">URIAGE Depiderm Anti-Brown Spot Daytime Care SPF 50</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This was a generous gift with purchase. Formula looks thin and light, but this is a very shiny SPF. Luckily I haven't experienced it slipping into my eyes and it protects me well. It's an SPF I'd only wear at home or on the beach, as it's otherwise too shiny. It promises to prevent and correct brown spots. It contains Cx Complex that consists of Enoxolone, Pea Extract, Sucrose, Uriage Thermal Water and Vitamin C. It acts on different stages of the hyperpigmentation process and helps prevent the formation and reappearance of dark spots. Sunscreen filters used are Tinosorb S, Uvinul A Plus and Uvinul T 150.</div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgboJ4zSccDql5cGGjkML_eRDVj-3tQ-BgoxH1qHaVGDlTJp8HG595QfR4S13Pb1JEw7jh8yn1QtyhBS2HOh1uKf1fiTMCIe3xp-LpXwNqs34wuCgtNpYy1DkaNEvnk_-cyk9NSzc5EMc_LSKFRJYdug3FPpUEipXBTXFaRt8ingS8TX8Z3SrT_oceS/s1500/New%20in%20%23134%2026%20SVR%20Huile%20Lavante%20Topialyse%20Anti-itching%20cleansing%20oil,%20La%20Roche%20Posay%20Lipikar%20Baume%20AP+M.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgboJ4zSccDql5cGGjkML_eRDVj-3tQ-BgoxH1qHaVGDlTJp8HG595QfR4S13Pb1JEw7jh8yn1QtyhBS2HOh1uKf1fiTMCIe3xp-LpXwNqs34wuCgtNpYy1DkaNEvnk_-cyk9NSzc5EMc_LSKFRJYdug3FPpUEipXBTXFaRt8ingS8TX8Z3SrT_oceS/s16000/New%20in%20%23134%2026%20SVR%20Huile%20Lavante%20Topialyse%20Anti-itching%20cleansing%20oil,%20La%20Roche%20Posay%20Lipikar%20Baume%20AP+M.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">SVR Topialyse Huile Lavante</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anti-irritation lipid-restoring Anti-itching cleansing gel</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I liked this the moment I tried it. I didn't expect it to be an actual oil, as I've tried a few such shower gel oils and they are all regular gels, but this one is a lot more like an oil and turns into a milky emulsion with water. It's not as rich as L'Occitane's, but better than the thin Balea shower oil. It's designed for sensitive, itchy, dry skin and can be used for anything. I love it for the body, it's nice on the face too (but it doesn't take off makeup and it's not as kind to the eyes as I'd expect from a product like this), while for the hair I surprisingly find it makes my hair too squeaky clean. It's nourishing on the skin, but for my hair it's too stripping - odd. It's fragranced with a gentle warm clean scent (I'm guessing the fragrance they used is hypoallergenic). I don't know if it helps with itching, but the skin feels comfortable after washing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">LA ROCHE POSAY Lipicar Baume AP+M </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I didn't buy this for me, but for someone who has problems with itchy skin.

It contains shea butter, niancinamide and something called aqua posae filiformis, which rebalances the skin microbiome.

I got just the shampoo from Redken for now, but there's also a conditioner and a leave-in. Shampoo is sulphate-free and contains citric acid, which Redken says reinforces weakened bonds within your hair. Formula is just lovely and it's very similar to my other favourite shampoo from <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2021/12/new-in-115-hair-care-edition.html" target="_blank">Olaplex</a>. It's a thick, rich formula that forms a dense foam. It lathers well, you don't have a feeling you're using a sulphate-free shampoo. It doesn't leave the hair stripped and tangled, so the hair is easy to comb even without using a conditioner. It wouldn't say it's nourishing, just that it regardless suits my very dry hair, but as far as if it suits thin hair, I can't say since I have a completely different hair type. Plenty reviews praise it, which probably means it suits other hair types. It has a nice citrus scent. I like this just as much as Olaplex and I'd like to try the conditioner and leave-in too. I don't think, though, that you should see this as a stand-alone repairing product for hair, as it's just a shampoo and (wash off or leave-in) treatment do most of the work, but it probably does help prevent some breakage (since the hair isn't tangled after use), adjusts pH and leaves the hair somewhat conditioned. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">K18 Leave-in Molecular Repair</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Try number two. I already had the 5 ml mini and I wasn't impressed, but then I realised I wasn't using it right after watching some videos. It wasn't my fault, since there are no proper instructions on the bottle or the box and it's a pretty big thing to omit from the instructions that this needs to be emulsified between the palms of the hands for several seconds, so you get a dense milky emulsion. I think I even heard it's only activated after that, but I could have misheard. They also recommend to do 4-6 course treatments to see results. It contains a peptide that strengthens bonds. It's supposed to be used on clean hair as a leave-in, left for 4 minutes and then you can use other leave-in care and styling, but no conditioner or mask. The latter part is a problem for me, as my hair is very dry and leave-ins can't do the hydrating/nourishing job as well as masks, so my hair gets dry very fast after washing my hair and using this treatment, and dry hair means breakage. You need to use a small amount of this, as it can have an opposite effect otherwise. I use about 3 ml per use, that's 9 pumps on this 15 ml version (50 ml version dispenses 1 ml per pump). 15 ml lasted me 6 treatments and I think there is still some left. After six uses, honestly, I'm still disappointed by this. It doesn't compare to the Olaplex n.0 + n.3 + n.8 regime or Joico K-Pack or Moroccanoil. My hair isn't smoother, I don't think it looks healthier, it doesn't break any less and during the treatments, I really missed nourishment and silkyness that I get from some masks, though I understand this is a repairing treatment. I know it's hailed as a miracle for bleached hair, but it didn't do the job on me. </div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBJtpSukgDUPw-L7JQVgH2pQN68RJFYKbkc5ogYwE7nnfDVH3Rq2isJG_qyO7D5gWamfeE2KoTRMb3cTKmytNdTOhY8lKFargdfzqaCTZcM7C3JnYBgoBe525QUmonVxEMRBhTHLtD4QlhW5i0wzGitXFZ9XbE3CPDjjbU2BLE0oTvPfLuVitx7DKR/s1500/New%20in%20%23134%2029%20Moroccanoil%20Color%20Depositing%20Mask%20Cocoa,%20Frizz%20Shield%20Spray.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBJtpSukgDUPw-L7JQVgH2pQN68RJFYKbkc5ogYwE7nnfDVH3Rq2isJG_qyO7D5gWamfeE2KoTRMb3cTKmytNdTOhY8lKFargdfzqaCTZcM7C3JnYBgoBe525QUmonVxEMRBhTHLtD4QlhW5i0wzGitXFZ9XbE3CPDjjbU2BLE0oTvPfLuVitx7DKR/s16000/New%20in%20%23134%2029%20Moroccanoil%20Color%20Depositing%20Mask%20Cocoa,%20Frizz%20Shield%20Spray.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">MOROCCANOIL Color Deposing Mask</span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Cocoa</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I'm still dyeing my blonde hair with temporary brown colours. I always use Subrina or Wella, but this time I treated myself to Moroccanoil because honestly, I really dislike how unnourished and hard those two formulas leave my hair (as much as everyone praise how soft they leave their hair, me and my thick hair texture are not so lucky). This was so worth the high price. My hair feels so soft and silky, it's shiny and manageable - truly Moroccanoil is a brand I can rely on and is worth splurging on. Colour is somewhere between Wella's dark brown and Subrina's Warm Brown reddish brown, so warmer/more reddish than my natural hair colour, but the depth is close, meaning this is quite a deep brown and if you're medium brown, you may need to mix it with shade Champagne to avoid it looking too dark. Again like at Wella the colour looks a bit flat because I apply it over blonde hair with removed underlying undertones. It washed off first purple and then grey. It took about 6 washes to get most of it off, but due to grey tones, I was itching to dye it again after a third wash. At my next use I mixed in Subrina's Orange shade of Colour Refresh, so I might avoid it washing off grey again on blonde hair. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdnSQU15wJPrqUoM7Suyb-Kzs0fu2XRNpiyBIfm9mOnrNZLnNI00qIVOtnHupI-OmhiTJhIZdRdf6cyaYp0gWwdh_EFSchwSgrf4ZN1K-3e-8Sap5huE9MXsTTSsb1LTKQlb-GG-ohxg05lWP9D5ssj4Ldh03TNz1TfO1GqPTzGOIVf-KEJF3b5-zV/s800/2023%209%20%20September%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(6).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="685" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdnSQU15wJPrqUoM7Suyb-Kzs0fu2XRNpiyBIfm9mOnrNZLnNI00qIVOtnHupI-OmhiTJhIZdRdf6cyaYp0gWwdh_EFSchwSgrf4ZN1K-3e-8Sap5huE9MXsTTSsb1LTKQlb-GG-ohxg05lWP9D5ssj4Ldh03TNz1TfO1GqPTzGOIVf-KEJF3b5-zV/s16000/2023%209%20%20September%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(6).jpg" /></a></div>Just Cocoa.

It's a similar thing as the <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/07/new-in-122.html" target="_blank">Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural spray</a>, as it promises to tame frizz, help achieve a smooth blow out and protect against humidity (up to 90%). Color Wow does nothing on me, so that was a major disappointment despite the raves, but this Moroccanoil one is much more effective. It works best in combination with Moroccanoil products, but even with other hair care, I achieve a smoother hair style. Just like Color Wow, it's supposed to be applied as the last step (I apply my usual leave-ins before) and it needs to be activated by heat. I spray a lot of it on towel dried hair and then blow dry. It significantly reduces frizz, however, I wouldn't my hair is completely smooth, nor does it have that glass hair look and my hair still lacks natural bounce (due to the thick texture of my hair), but compared to almost everything at the moment, it's brilliant (though their <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/02/new-in-128.html" target="_blank">Smoothing Lotion</a> is similar) and an extra oil or something after blow drying does the final smoothing touches. My hair feels so soft and it easy to manage. Lately I've been having trouble with my hair holding a curl, since they dropped in day, but with this they can last four or five days. I've also straightened the hair, but I don't think it makes a massive difference compared to without, as the heat of the straightener does most of the work on its own. My hair feels less dry, is less brittle and less tangled when I use this. I've got caught the rain (drizzle) twice and and my hair didn't go all frizzy, puffy and my curls didn't drop. I'm impressed. </div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6e8bjs1iaUipQe70QaqSwVo3P-FFvXp-4_2zeqBFV7N3CuaQDgNiBiL_j92eULen823gXAfu73xczKY9qyy35tBVYbm7r2IJK3KZ-5eTk7TaJQnUZ10Ll7UW7EFRHVl5G88JIwoSA5-YJg-f29ODb6Ir_O1PGjs4ayeOGfbG9fI5O3UewotsxPWrL/s1500/New%20in%20%23134%2030%20L'Oreal%20Elvital%20Bond%20Repair%20Pre%20Shampoo,%20Gliss%20Kur%20Total%20Repair%20Glanz%20Tonic.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6e8bjs1iaUipQe70QaqSwVo3P-FFvXp-4_2zeqBFV7N3CuaQDgNiBiL_j92eULen823gXAfu73xczKY9qyy35tBVYbm7r2IJK3KZ-5eTk7TaJQnUZ10Ll7UW7EFRHVl5G88JIwoSA5-YJg-f29ODb6Ir_O1PGjs4ayeOGfbG9fI5O3UewotsxPWrL/s16000/New%20in%20%23134%2030%20L'Oreal%20Elvital%20Bond%20Repair%20Pre%20Shampoo,%20Gliss%20Kur%20Total%20Repair%20Glanz%20Tonic.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">L'OREAL ELVITAL Bond Repair Rescue Pre-Shampoo</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I waited for this to appear in our drugstores, but for months we only had the conditioner. I only picked this out of 4 products, as it's the most unique one, but buying all would be too expensive (it's a shame they don't have sample sizes). However, I realised at home, it's not much different than the conditioner, as it need to be applied on damp hair and I need to wash it regardless, since I use a lot leave-ins between washings and I think this won't be as effective if the hair isn't somewhat clean, so I end up washing it twice. Results were underwhelming. It didn't help the hair be less brittle for a while (Joico, Redken, Olaplex do have that effect) and on the second day my hair was already so dry, it was breaking and I had to wash my hair again.

However, the formula impressed me so much, I really wanted to get my hands on a waterproof formula. The regular formula fans out the lashes so lovely, it adds plenty of volume even with one coat and just makes the lashes look so nice. I was hoping for a similar effect from the waterproof one, but I know from experience waterproof and regular formulas at all mascaras tend to differ a lot in terms of performance. This one isn't quite as nice as the regular formula, but it's regardless a good mascara and it improved with time. <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDLo_jOLbfmsS1qEYywH7xusuJwSiIM8Id3ZdznsbbvyYoGiWOKwOUkETJx6xjrgp83qyh7wVDaB55YVleOAegtMnIZQVA6I2AjF3AWa3W_EGbYs-70-3HwiI6eb-LrdYXr_at4CeGlV2qbhXgaBVQizZwxr9f_5B50dXRDu6jk1tI1VcBxmlnfwM-/s1500/Pupa%20Vamp%20mascara%20waterproof%20(2).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDLo_jOLbfmsS1qEYywH7xusuJwSiIM8Id3ZdznsbbvyYoGiWOKwOUkETJx6xjrgp83qyh7wVDaB55YVleOAegtMnIZQVA6I2AjF3AWa3W_EGbYs-70-3HwiI6eb-LrdYXr_at4CeGlV2qbhXgaBVQizZwxr9f_5B50dXRDu6jk1tI1VcBxmlnfwM-/s16000/Pupa%20Vamp%20mascara%20waterproof%20(2).JPG" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">As is usual for waterproof formulas, this is drier than its washable sibling. That means it deposits less product on the lashes with one coat and you'd expect that would make it even more defining because you're applying the product slower, however, it doesn't define and fan out the lashes as impressively as the regular formula. I had to use a clean silicone comb to separate the lashes, though to be fair it wasn't that clumpy to begin with, but I'm one who really like a well-defined lash look. It was not the best when I opened it, but it the next weeks it improved as the formula dried and thickened. I need two coats for a good amount of volume, but it's not like the regular formula. This is a proper waterproof formula that hold the lashes well, but it is the slowest drying waterproof mascara I've tried. It's also one of those that is more difficult to remove that the average waterproof formula, though nothing on a level of <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/03/catrice-glam-doll-volume-mascara.html" target="_blank">Catrice Doll mascara</a>, but a separate dual phase remover is needed as my cleansing oil (<a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2021/11/new-in-113.html" target="_blank">Nuxe Very Rose</a> or <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2019/10/new-in-84.html" target="_blank">Hada Labo</a>) doesn't get it off on its own. It's very long lasting on the lashes, it doesn't smudge, but I've noticed a few times some black spots under my eyes at the end of the day, meaning it can crumble.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXJuIlFE_kf0CxsPkSEhHb1-DhvOpVRLcfFKqLh2zDFJGRXn6WHqSI__-4tfQiedi2v0L2ssP6ghSVHigv5MQ5f6GmiwzjatAwjyngQdExIbwiAjpChwDwBTn5kEU7dazuUulWbrCBa8Uj7fSDD_OR3aJqPwGU-8luHEesTvZXnA-bNVa9nVBamnW_/s1500/Pupa%20Vamp%20mascara%20waterproof%20(3).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="494" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXJuIlFE_kf0CxsPkSEhHb1-DhvOpVRLcfFKqLh2zDFJGRXn6WHqSI__-4tfQiedi2v0L2ssP6ghSVHigv5MQ5f6GmiwzjatAwjyngQdExIbwiAjpChwDwBTn5kEU7dazuUulWbrCBa8Uj7fSDD_OR3aJqPwGU-8luHEesTvZXnA-bNVa9nVBamnW_/s16000/Pupa%20Vamp%20mascara%20waterproof%20(3).JPG" /></a></div><p></p><p>Brush is a classic one, the same at regular formula, but mine is bent. I had several Pupa Vamp mascaras and none's brush was bent. It's a clumsy brush as no matter how hard I try, I get smudges on my eyelids, so it's the type of mascara like to I'd apply first before other eye makeup. It's been months and I still haven't gotten a hang of the application. <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC7C50cPUQpyFONp88i2bf93D8hzcHKE2O-1ZyUJOFxIA6lm39i-5EUc47YtDQijmiQnRCNiHnTxdcRoKedONXyugIgS88SOFuutKLJLt6hJepuIsYRTyZv3knFHTWS-yQPcXqNXwYIFtlg92B-7_oCXNV3oCaYywd6O0UzDmk0t4bRk9NB-0cATP3/s1500/Pupa%20Vamp%20mascara%20waterproof%20(4).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC7C50cPUQpyFONp88i2bf93D8hzcHKE2O-1ZyUJOFxIA6lm39i-5EUc47YtDQijmiQnRCNiHnTxdcRoKedONXyugIgS88SOFuutKLJLt6hJepuIsYRTyZv3knFHTWS-yQPcXqNXwYIFtlg92B-7_oCXNV3oCaYywd6O0UzDmk0t4bRk9NB-0cATP3/s16000/Pupa%20Vamp%20mascara%20waterproof%20(4).JPG" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">When I bought it, the price was already high at 17 €, but now it's 20 €. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's good, but because it doesn't perform as great as the regular formula, it doesn't stand out from my other waterproof favourites, which are cheaper (Essence I <3 Extreme Waterproof and <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2020/07/new-in-96-revlon.html" target="_blank">Revlon Volumazing</a>), so I don't know if I'd buy it again - probably not because that price increase is ridiculous.

No brushes or getting hands dirty, all you need is in one compact. A lot of them also have great ingredients and a high SPF. Sadly I haven't been able to find a shade match yet, so I've switched to BB creams, but I've missed having a cushion foundation. Originally, I was going to buy something else that is available in a lighter shade, but it was out of stock and this was just 5 € on Stylevana so I picked it instead. <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinlyTsL5s71Nqq_Ey1Ws_P3C4uw72tbWum2ksnmQ7_YR8JzmPRtdaaUFFjRzQoeeByPjRWPK8pgvhmEfO-tx5ZnrFo_faz-anwBaYhL_LXPbLs74D73Gbj8oDrSsUQRTroA8FrIlsmqbePBc3hJ6HK0USWKxVK1hCLtFVjZiBkFt1Vs9BJwzoZpIRp/s1500/MISSHA%20Magic%20Cushion%20Cover%20Lasting%20SPF%2050%20(2).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinlyTsL5s71Nqq_Ey1Ws_P3C4uw72tbWum2ksnmQ7_YR8JzmPRtdaaUFFjRzQoeeByPjRWPK8pgvhmEfO-tx5ZnrFo_faz-anwBaYhL_LXPbLs74D73Gbj8oDrSsUQRTroA8FrIlsmqbePBc3hJ6HK0USWKxVK1hCLtFVjZiBkFt1Vs9BJwzoZpIRp/s16000/MISSHA%20Magic%20Cushion%20Cover%20Lasting%20SPF%2050%20(2).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Texture:</span> The foundation is absorbed into the sponge/"cushion", so you don't really see the texture, but removing the sponge or pressing on it with a finger reveals this is a very light liquid foundation, similar to the likes of Catrice HD Liquid Coverage. It blends with ease and holds a ton of pigment in a small amount of foundation.

I wanted a different Missha cushion because this doesn't come in a lighter shade, but it was out of stock or it would take at least a month to even send it. Magic Cushion is sadly too dark for me. It's similar to It Cosmetic's CC in Fair Ivory, so only a shade too dark, but the undertone makes it match even less. Undertone is warm, peachier than CC Fair Ivory, while if I know this correctly, Missha's famous BB #21 has a grey tone to it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Scent:</span> This has no scent.</div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm-f4cx_1lWT3xOapJOw0-pyFGCxFdUyj0z6YY1JTBSGDzAAZe7EFxVrhpmWKQ056JYh-Hrm4PhRQT122m7Y7C8j_Z21Sm97kawLS8UYhhShWNPe8vb4_zQi4fpz1c68WxaKaEnNkbl08bvcnTCE94x6e0KEJ-WhFM2gXjz_EupRt-fSci5IIJ1vZG/s1500/MISSHA%20Magic%20Cushion%20Cover%20Lasting%20SPF%2050%20(5).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm-f4cx_1lWT3xOapJOw0-pyFGCxFdUyj0z6YY1JTBSGDzAAZe7EFxVrhpmWKQ056JYh-Hrm4PhRQT122m7Y7C8j_Z21Sm97kawLS8UYhhShWNPe8vb4_zQi4fpz1c68WxaKaEnNkbl08bvcnTCE94x6e0KEJ-WhFM2gXjz_EupRt-fSci5IIJ1vZG/s16000/MISSHA%20Magic%20Cushion%20Cover%20Lasting%20SPF%2050%20(5).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Packaging:</span> The compact has everything you need - a sponge that blends like a dream (I use such sponges also for other foundations) and a mirror.

There isn't much foundation in these cushion foundations - that's something you have to accept, plus the sponges absorb so much.

Luckily it looks like once it reached a certain stage of dryness, that process stopped. I've not experienced this at lipsticks quite so soon, usually it takes a couple of years (it happened at both Jordana and Mac's lipsticks by now), but it's still gliding on the lips just fine and it's not drying or flaky. Pigmentation is merely ok and I find myself applying several layers. It also doesn't match Jordana nor Mac in terms of staying power, but it wears off evenly. </div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5L0yN-edJKsxZKMvLdp213nmLvhiAvIrL2gRE_fZxQT4OmbOI9-YxPZgzYgImU-1nXZxec88AvSoXzy4DoDA8v8FpboUKd-_qUA-bDbKOkLaqI_RXwrRrWwVgJGHLVkvwFsWIPV2wwJzYh8nOF46QGCGVDujA72eev_dKvmkbwHTZN3gWBJVkd52f/s1500/EVELINE%20Velvet%20Matt%20Lipstick%20510%20(3).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5L0yN-edJKsxZKMvLdp213nmLvhiAvIrL2gRE_fZxQT4OmbOI9-YxPZgzYgImU-1nXZxec88AvSoXzy4DoDA8v8FpboUKd-_qUA-bDbKOkLaqI_RXwrRrWwVgJGHLVkvwFsWIPV2wwJzYh8nOF46QGCGVDujA72eev_dKvmkbwHTZN3gWBJVkd52f/s16000/EVELINE%20Velvet%20Matt%20Lipstick%20510%20(3).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Shade 510 is a pale warm pink, which on my skin tone looks somewhat vibrant, but I think deeper skin tones may hide this vibrancy and make it look more muted. It's very similar to both Jordana 48 Pink Passion and Mac's Please me, though in the tube they don't quite match as Eveline looks brighter, but swatched and on the lips they are very alike. Eveline's shade comes of looking a lot creamier/shinier when freshly applied, then it sets in a while, but both Mac's and Jordana's versions are completely matte from the start. Consequently, Eveline's version is a lot less dry than those two, in fact it's quite comfortable on the lips. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUyRYwQBKAMvK_d8r_F1tFx_6u-8uv0IjVPtRZpIUwKus-E7TQcRb8cGTeBCChJTwSubuE_6oN3ijF5zt0mvx_hGI_BYEfZq96Cr_hZdJl6eb1NFblhVayISeUTrGRbHCI8_K5qoCHTWcJCE_5dNoioLbEQATtuop9WkAvNU4zCv27fB_RPRbZhLg8/s1500/EVELINE%20Velvet%20Matt%20Lipstick%20510%20(4).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUyRYwQBKAMvK_d8r_F1tFx_6u-8uv0IjVPtRZpIUwKus-E7TQcRb8cGTeBCChJTwSubuE_6oN3ijF5zt0mvx_hGI_BYEfZq96Cr_hZdJl6eb1NFblhVayISeUTrGRbHCI8_K5qoCHTWcJCE_5dNoioLbEQATtuop9WkAvNU4zCv27fB_RPRbZhLg8/s16000/EVELINE%20Velvet%20Matt%20Lipstick%20510%20(4).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Packaging is not the best quality.

It doesn't have the highest level of coverage, which I don't mind anyway, as light-medium is enough for me. Formula is light, doesn't feel greasy, it's hydrating and blends seamlessly into the skin. Finish used to be very glowy on my skin, but now that it's dry, it's more natural. Shade is one of the best matches in my collection. It's pale in about the same depth as <a href="http://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.si/2015/11/revlon-colorstay-foundation-normaldry.html" target="_blank">Revlon's Colorstay 110 Ivory</a>, but it's not as pink, it's more cool-neutral.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">ESSENCE Baby Got Blush</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">01 Tickle me pink</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">I was waiting ages for these to get to a local drugstore and it did not disappoint. Formula isn't anything ground-breaking, in fact the stick is quite hard and can take off foundation if you apply it straight from the tube, but with a brush it works really well. Result is a nicely blended flush with soft edges and the shade is a cool-ish pink - it's a rarity in my collection, since such shades always pull warm on me and this one creates a proper baby doll flush. It smells like watermelon.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRUdyVxY-ynCxUAMLPp9oMeJe8GFbfUxKk488StMmSnEvPdMeXL1lBvuL9hthoVG_asobBFANOoa9m9azHuAVWcd-iT6El8Ox_sTJr9DwTqfjcOH-DWYHz7xoKJczCdRnUylXHv7DEUf03R9qfC5PRZG9TyA6xat7Ro3X2ZBkKB2Xb4v4QvwUtG3_0/s1500/2023%209%20%20September%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(3).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRUdyVxY-ynCxUAMLPp9oMeJe8GFbfUxKk488StMmSnEvPdMeXL1lBvuL9hthoVG_asobBFANOoa9m9azHuAVWcd-iT6El8Ox_sTJr9DwTqfjcOH-DWYHz7xoKJczCdRnUylXHv7DEUf03R9qfC5PRZG9TyA6xat7Ro3X2ZBkKB2Xb4v4QvwUtG3_0/s16000/2023%209%20%20September%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(3).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">BOURJOIS Velvet The Pencil</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">01 Nudifull, 02 Amou-Rose and 03 In Mauve Again</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I have all five that are sold here, but these three natural shades are my favourites. Especially shade 03 In Mauve Again, as it ends up most neutral on my lips. All three are about the same depth, the difference is in the undertones - 01 is a warm beige and 02 a warm light pink. These are one-swipe lip colours, so well pigmented, also very creamy and don't drag on the lips. They are matte, but not dry/fully matte, so they feel comfortable, however, they aren't nourishing/moisturising.

Once it wears off, the lips stay pink. Shade 030 Glow For The Show is light orange.</div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-J7ui6ZZGN6A1P2LO5f6JVwhy4L2D26TarOZyhyphenhyphen_gGiUYzp6t484KzgQHe8j2Nuo3_ANp0saZiFuXGzjp2shwBpcS3n8QivtXMAEKlj_Clbr0ajUXTRJPoR8laxhpyQOFdVZZKE357VvAa-Ji-HlaqSl8Iz8TgMtOww9SwardbvrmIDEvqBtawSs3/s1500/2023%209%20%20September%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(5).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-J7ui6ZZGN6A1P2LO5f6JVwhy4L2D26TarOZyhyphenhyphen_gGiUYzp6t484KzgQHe8j2Nuo3_ANp0saZiFuXGzjp2shwBpcS3n8QivtXMAEKlj_Clbr0ajUXTRJPoR8laxhpyQOFdVZZKE357VvAa-Ji-HlaqSl8Iz8TgMtOww9SwardbvrmIDEvqBtawSs3/s16000/2023%209%20%20September%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(5).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdnSQU15wJPrqUoM7Suyb-Kzs0fu2XRNpiyBIfm9mOnrNZLnNI00qIVOtnHupI-OmhiTJhIZdRdf6cyaYp0gWwdh_EFSchwSgrf4ZN1K-3e-8Sap5huE9MXsTTSsb1LTKQlb-GG-ohxg05lWP9D5ssj4Ldh03TNz1TfO1GqPTzGOIVf-KEJF3b5-zV/s1500/2023%209%20%20September%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(6).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1284" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdnSQU15wJPrqUoM7Suyb-Kzs0fu2XRNpiyBIfm9mOnrNZLnNI00qIVOtnHupI-OmhiTJhIZdRdf6cyaYp0gWwdh_EFSchwSgrf4ZN1K-3e-8Sap5huE9MXsTTSsb1LTKQlb-GG-ohxg05lWP9D5ssj4Ldh03TNz1TfO1GqPTzGOIVf-KEJF3b5-zV/s16000/2023%209%20%20September%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(6).jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">MOROCCANOIL Color Deposing Mask </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Cocoa</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I'm still dyeing my blonde hair with temporary brown colours. I always use <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/05/may-favourites-updates-and-wishlist.html">Subrina</a> or <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/06/june-favourites-updates-and-wishlist.html" target="_blank">Wella</a>, but this time I treated myself to Moroccanoil because honestly, I really dislike how unnourished and hard those two formulas leave my hair (as much as everyone praise how soft they leave their hair, me and my thick hair texture are not so lucky). This was so worth the high price. My hair felt so soft and silky, it was shiny and manageable - truly Moroccanoil is a brand I can rely on and is worth splurging on. Colour is somewhere between Wella's Chocolate Touch and Subrina's Warm Brown reddish brown, so warmer/more reddish than my natural hair colour, but the depth is close, meaning this is quite a deep brown. I actually didn't need to use as much as of Wella, so maybe this tube will last me longer than two and a half uses (Subrina's 60 ml lasts one application for my long hair). I also own shade Lilac and it took a long time to wash off, which is also a reason why I started with Subrina instead, as for that one I know it always washes off completely. I already washed my hair once and not a lot of colour came off at Moroccanoil version, which means it will last a long time on my hair, but it also has me slightly worried it may not come off as well as Subrina and Wella.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">MOROCCANOIL Frizz Shield Spray</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">A new product by Moroccanoil and I got just a mini to try first. It's a similar thing as the <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/07/new-in-122.html" target="_blank">Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural spray</a>, as it promises to tame frizz, help achieve a smooth blow out and protect against humidity (up to 90%). Color Wow does nothing on me, so that was a major disappointment despite the raves, but this Moroccanoil one is so far really raising up to the challenge. Just like Color Wow, it's supposed to be applied as the last step (I applied my usual leave-ins before) and it needs to be activated by heat. I spray a lot of it on well towel dried hair and just dry my hair with a hair drier (<a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2022/03/new-in-117.html" target="_blank">Remington round brush)</a>. Frizz is significantly reduced, I wouldn't say my hair is completely smooth (it is where my natural hair is, but not where it's coloured), but compared to almost everything at the moment, it's brilliant (though their <a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/02/new-in-128.html" target="_blank">Smoothing Lotion</a> is similar) and an extra oil or something after blow drying does the final smoothing touches. My hair feels so soft and it's easy to manage. Together with their Color Depositing mask my hair stayed so nice for almost a full week and even though I was caught in a little bit of rain. With a non-Moroccanoil treatment that time is shorter. I don't want to rave about this just yet, though I'm impressed after two uses, but I need to try it for longer and in combination with other products, especially drugstore. Also it looks like you need to use a lot for one use, which is a minus at such a price. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>UPDATES</b></span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoFQcjfLtWtuhkM3Kc07xluVedccvwN0zyFlpRujLaazJOZT0cL-UePH8zoaFvgEUQVSZdNQvewq0AEnRKQj8tS6kEqt7hirDgMB2pNjlCVQ9VQ97bEg35yyG-ckVbMwAEFU_VITQ9niAX31gSOYnY1NI5tZyegoeyrKwNiP6V3Iredz2mXdQf-MAY/s1500/2023%209%20%20September%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(7).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoFQcjfLtWtuhkM3Kc07xluVedccvwN0zyFlpRujLaazJOZT0cL-UePH8zoaFvgEUQVSZdNQvewq0AEnRKQj8tS6kEqt7hirDgMB2pNjlCVQ9VQ97bEg35yyG-ckVbMwAEFU_VITQ9niAX31gSOYnY1NI5tZyegoeyrKwNiP6V3Iredz2mXdQf-MAY/s16000/2023%209%20%20September%20favourites,%20updates%20and%20wishlist%20(7).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I don't count these as my favourites because either the shades don't fit me or the formulas aren't the right fit for my needs, but these are all nice products. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://matejasbeautyblog.blogspot.com/2023/09/new-in-133-new-catrice-products-autumn.html" target="_blank"><b>CATRICE Soft Glam Filter Fluid</b> </a>is a decent drugstore alternative to the overly expensive (and overhyped) Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Hollywood Filter.

It can be worn (1) on its own and they mention subtle coverage or (2) as a primer or (3) as a liquid highlighter (it can be found among foundations, primers and highlighters on their website). It is available in several shades. So far I've only seen two in drugstores here, 010 and 020. The lightest shade on the website is 002. I got sent a shade that's much too dark for me and thought this is a sheer product, when I apply it, my face looks kind of dirty/uneven, so just because of that, I find it hard to like. I went to check a lighter shade, which looks better, but I didn't get because I already have a similar product from Charlotte Tilbury and I'm not going to buy a product just for a review, especially when it's not as good as a primer and highlighter than the more expensive option I already own.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB-cLLDKk4v8IsZNsgXz4RNMrFnaiesSllj3KqKVfQUPL9TRYAhwWwlWu-kT_dsvOL8MHJNUcmUncEqcMhkIULyTsU3OaaCIZkIZPTp1Q5hid9LqeGS_lDScwfmfUg6EJIsma5AIRR5CUH0ec68sMaDYZskoOVjQTwvmsbiKY1H3x_4a4q29qQX950/s1500/New%20in%20%23133%20Catrice%20New%20Products%20Autumn%202023%20(4).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB-cLLDKk4v8IsZNsgXz4RNMrFnaiesSllj3KqKVfQUPL9TRYAhwWwlWu-kT_dsvOL8MHJNUcmUncEqcMhkIULyTsU3OaaCIZkIZPTp1Q5hid9LqeGS_lDScwfmfUg6EJIsma5AIRR5CUH0ec68sMaDYZskoOVjQTwvmsbiKY1H3x_4a4q29qQX950/s16000/New%20in%20%23133%20Catrice%20New%20Products%20Autumn%202023%20(4).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div>I compared it to Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Hollywood Filter, which isn't my favourite product and I rarely use it, when I do it's mostly as a highlighter. At Catrice the glow is quite a lot more subtle than at the super glowy Hollywood Filter and difference is especially visible when they are worn alone. Catrice's version looks better when used that way, as Hollywood Filter is way too shiny and makes me look greasy, while Catrice's glow doesn't feel as over the top. In fact, I find that since my skin is dry, it looked more similar to a moderately shiny (tinted) moisturiser and not as a liquid highlighter/glowy primer. As far as coverage is concerned, I got a shade that's too dark, so the depth of the shade provides some coverage, but I think just like Hollywood it doesn't really cover anything. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTqzH6KSxUPD-v09SGdsO1Ogu1j6IDM3mDX-0MF26kvPofECyGGW83wTKd7qdp5uuzUAoVRzbXSfcNkLHJnULVjvVQkb72WD4M-CCKVuPiReE3jTLorGDFw8nbhe9jBt5B044OdI_F3o5Ka1trgsrQG-vNoeSny5A-0T3NKW2q3cscdwexgP2JBPaB/s1500/New%20in%20%23133%20Catrice%20New%20Products%20Autumn%202023%20(5).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="844" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTqzH6KSxUPD-v09SGdsO1Ogu1j6IDM3mDX-0MF26kvPofECyGGW83wTKd7qdp5uuzUAoVRzbXSfcNkLHJnULVjvVQkb72WD4M-CCKVuPiReE3jTLorGDFw8nbhe9jBt5B044OdI_F3o5Ka1trgsrQG-vNoeSny5A-0T3NKW2q3cscdwexgP2JBPaB/s16000/New%20in%20%23133%20Catrice%20New%20Products%20Autumn%202023%20(5).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div>Since it's not as shiny, Soft Glam Filter is not the best as a liquid highlighter, as it's weak (for my taste and I'm also dealing with an bronzer-like too dark shade).

Foundation applies nicely over both and luckily the foundation covers the mismatched shade. Catrice's glow is slightly less intense, but surprisingly although they look much different on their own, with a matte foundation on top, the level of glow is similar enough. But there are other differences at which you can see that drugstore doesn't quite match high-end in this case. On the side with Catrice, the smile line looked deeper and foundation started slipping into pores. Hollywood side looked better, however, neither are massively impressive in my eyes, as Hollywood doesn't hide/blur pores either, in fact without foundation and primer I can't see them, but with makeup on top, creases appear and pores are on display. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">So in short, yes it's similar to Hollywood in terms of glow when used as a primer, but not as a liquid highlighter and it's even less good at blurring/hiding pores are lines. I also feel that the side with Catrice looks more flat despite a similar glow level because the skin looks less fresh. </div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Soft Glam Filter Powder</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinRj9168_3qA0ksGRJmwYxQUBZin1KwvfX0gICaeyvdYof_kShU0Bc8YdnoAnSAdHYefp_VWrnd7iUV0EWkL5WmXSTOsLaOtNcSl8W5lpWkqRuc9qvDA7u2KlSn6HKHOH2oqsmU-ewHF2zBTC5TYMXSfQMu_ac13TBy_OluD2-iDj4G2-J4R2_ECl7/s1500/New%20in%20%23133%20Catrice%20New%20Products%20Autumn%202023%20(8).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1125" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinRj9168_3qA0ksGRJmwYxQUBZin1KwvfX0gICaeyvdYof_kShU0Bc8YdnoAnSAdHYefp_VWrnd7iUV0EWkL5WmXSTOsLaOtNcSl8W5lpWkqRuc9qvDA7u2KlSn6HKHOH2oqsmU-ewHF2zBTC5TYMXSfQMu_ac13TBy_OluD2-iDj4G2-J4R2_ECl7/s16000/New%20in%20%23133%20Catrice%20New%20Products%20Autumn%202023%20(8).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>This skin-perfecting face powder offers a "soft glam filter" effect for a naturally radiant and soft-focus finish.

Of course I didn't get the same result. In theory it should be great - a mix of peachy, green and violet tones that colour correct the skin tone, so all very reminiscent of the Guerlain Meteorites. It also swatches beautifully, subtly glowly, but not shimmery. However, on the face it's looks flat. It's more matte than what the swatch promises and the foundation just doesn't look as nice with it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5w5ILHSLhvbfBWADqiFYtjPojVcQ5IEZqRD1n1I_5LdqVErgHevQLnGRqis4DN5XQQrGABn7TgRFQVomwfbM1avgoLwvjL_3aWVTTZxUsEsxmykqYHziH4X11lAL7_FkoYkQl4nIwZdfylgznqfTxt9jZzQrRDjH1ZiDQobUk6bF10GlcE9rd8eKc/s2000/New%20in%20%23133%20Catrice%20New%20Products%20Autumn%202023%20(11).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="2000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5w5ILHSLhvbfBWADqiFYtjPojVcQ5IEZqRD1n1I_5LdqVErgHevQLnGRqis4DN5XQQrGABn7TgRFQVomwfbM1avgoLwvjL_3aWVTTZxUsEsxmykqYHziH4X11lAL7_FkoYkQl4nIwZdfylgznqfTxt9jZzQrRDjH1ZiDQobUk6bF10GlcE9rd8eKc/s16000/New%20in%20%23133%20Catrice%20New%20Products%20Autumn%202023%20(11).jpg" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXBpGhfbHZT5V83IGY0iq8uQdiT7epQiM7Gc4TTfnRlmp0RHYkXvJqnFnnNFl73cimNQ1DaLOCWH3eNkm--I_qRxRxFBMJOLOF0kS6yNYj6tACR6j8i2yPGUND0D2Ycfl7RbQgjm0qYyUtvjgGc2n9DV8kQA3lJPg27bNOTgMyGlzBh6iiSLWBjFEA/s1500/New%20in%20%23133%20Catrice%20New%20Products%20Autumn%202023%20(10).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXBpGhfbHZT5V83IGY0iq8uQdiT7epQiM7Gc4TTfnRlmp0RHYkXvJqnFnnNFl73cimNQ1DaLOCWH3eNkm--I_qRxRxFBMJOLOF0kS6yNYj6tACR6j8i2yPGUND0D2Ycfl7RbQgjm0qYyUtvjgGc2n9DV8kQA3lJPg27bNOTgMyGlzBh6iiSLWBjFEA/s16000/New%20in%20%23133%20Catrice%20New%20Products%20Autumn%202023%20(10).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div>It says the shade is universal, but it swatches white and I think it leaves a cast, so it may just be for pale skin tones only.

Formula is smooth at all coats. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Dream in Jelly Sparkle</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">030 Sweet Jellousy</span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPyiLSW1Ghb2u22qkJQz9cfohnjgj4aOXv01Q5jM-Qb-UFGFVcXXp6uogjGbt2zQt9ERqHXtlJ9vfkFKK-lKGitDZ6zelXplru8_C4eHRdYrKyILidIiTFNq4lvdFzsgrdr3VsJ0Ej5cJUPGMItYVgtZuPjAbejUN1Ymq1cKRrqsuRQo87K_KQCJn3/s1500/New%20in%20%23133%20Catrice%20New%20Products%20Autumn%202023%20(27).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1125" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPyiLSW1Ghb2u22qkJQz9cfohnjgj4aOXv01Q5jM-Qb-UFGFVcXXp6uogjGbt2zQt9ERqHXtlJ9vfkFKK-lKGitDZ6zelXplru8_C4eHRdYrKyILidIiTFNq4lvdFzsgrdr3VsJ0Ej5cJUPGMItYVgtZuPjAbejUN1Ymq1cKRrqsuRQo87K_KQCJn3/s16000/New%20in%20%23133%20Catrice%20New%20Products%20Autumn%202023%20(27).JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Create trendy nail looks in no time with the translucent CATRICE Dream In Jelly Sparkle Nail Polish with large glitter flakes.

On my nail it's three coats. It has a sheer reddish pink jelly base and gold flecks that don't come to focus as much as you can see in the bottle when you build up the shade. Since it's a glitter nail polish it's more difficult to remove. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Matejahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06185854904546395778noreply@blogger.com0
