Mac Hue Lipstick

Hue is a light milky pink with some peachy tones and a creamy glossy finish (it's a glaze formula).  It's moisturising, but like Mac lipsticks tend to be, waxy, which makes them last well on the lips. It looks way darker in the tube than when applied on the lips. ...

Haul and Some Swatches

This is my second tube in a row of John Frieda's conditioner (trust me it doesn't happen often that I buy the same conditioner twice, let alone in a row). I have to say it really impressed me, I really like it. I have very long, very dry, curly, dark brown hair and let me tell you there aren't a lot of drugstore...

Mac Myth Lipstick

Myth is a peachy pale nude with satin finish, although to me it just looks matte. I'd describe it as the ultimate nude shade. It's really opaque and a bit drying, not creamy therefore really difficult to apply straight from the tube and needs lots of blending. ...

Mac Honeylove Lipstick

Honeylove is a peachy-beige shade and not as pale as I’d liked on my skin tone. Mac’s website describes the shade as ‘’light honey-beige toned with rose”, on my skin it just looks light honey-beige and with no rose. I’m still not sure if I really like it. It’s a matte finish, a bit drying (certainly more than my favourites Revlon’s mattes, which...

Haul - Essence Sun Club Gloss and Silky Touch Blush in Adorable

Essence Sun Club lipgloss in 05 Sunny Pink and Silky Touch blush in 01 Adorable. Gloss: As soon as I applied the gloss I regretted buying it. The colour looks so beautiful in the tube, however it's completely colourless on the lips. And not just that, also the texture is really, really bad. It's very watery, I hate it. I just don't get...

A couple of cheapies

Essence Lipliner 01 Soft Rose  As the name suggest the colour is a soft rose, just a hair lighter than my natural lip colour. It's quite soft and easy to apply. Staying power is a bit rubbish, but what can you expect for less than 2 €. Je nežno roza barve, čisto malo svetlejše od moje naravne barve ustnic. Je kar mehak in...

Jemma Kidd Hi-Shine Silk Gloss # 10 Tea Rose and #17 Petal

These are undoubtedly my favourite glosses. The formula is amazing. They are creamy, really pigmented, non-sticky and long lasting. 17 Petal is the most amazingly beautiful colour ever. If I had to buy only one lipgloss until the rest of my life, this would be it. It’s the most beautiful light baby pink, but slightly beigey, it literally looks like Mac’s Hue lipstick...

Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) Rouge Volupte # 2 Sensual silk and # 7 Lingerie Pink

Thing don't get more over-hyped as Rouge Voluptes. Sure the packaging is beautiful, but it doesn't go much further than that. Though formula is soft and creamy, it's already too creamy and it's slippery, so light shades look weird on the lips. These feel light on the lips and despite the creaminess, you don't get much moisturisation and these emphasise dry patches with...

Revlon Matte lipstick 002 Pink Pout

Pink Pout is a matte cool pink with a slight mauve undertone. The texture is great for a matte, as it's really creamy, but the finish is actually matte. Staying power is nice as well, it disappears gradually and leaves a lovely stain behind as it's wearing off. I like the matte packaging and the see-through top. It was 9.45 € in Műller....

Benefit Silky-finish Lipstick Jing-a-ling

Is a neutral pink with micro gold shimmer. It's very creamy and moisturizing, it almost looks like a gloss when applied on the lips. Je nevtralne roza barve z mikro zlatimi bleščicami, zelo kremna in vlažilna. Na ustnicah izgleda skoraj kot glos. A couple of years ago I had Artdeco Glossy Lip Care in number 30, which looks very similar to Benefit's one....
