I recently swatched most of the Atomic Red lipsticks from Deborah. This week I purchased a shade numbered 09. It a light pink with slight beige tones (on my lips almost a medium pink) with a cream finish. It's very creamy (unfortunately so creamy it settles in lines) and moisturising  It lasts long on the lips. The most similar shade I used to own is Jing-a-ling by...

There's two types of Atomic Red lipsticks, one is a regular line (with 14 shades) and the other which consists of mat shades (7) is called Atomic Red Mat. The testers were a mess, the numbers were mixed up, some of the shades were missing, some had a different packaging, just really confusing. The only mat shade there was 09, but I have...

 8 of the 9 shades (54L, which is another brown shade, is missing), taken in sunlight: Manhattan has two lines of lipsticks, one is called X-treme Last & Shine (which has a wider selection of shades), the other one is Perfect Creamy & Care. Aside from LE shade Rosewood, I never owned a Manhattan lipstick. So I decided to swatch them, to see...

I need some help with identifying these lipsticks. My cousin gave me these, she got them as samples of to her unknown lipstick. Does anyone recognize these? I've done some investigation and I suspect they're called Pure Colour lipsticks, but I'm not sure. The numbers are odd too. Rabim malo pomoči. Namreč dobila sem te Oriflamove šminke od sestrične in ona ne ve...

Bioderma Sensibio make-up remover - I bought it after the recommenadation of the Pixiwoo sisters. It's a great make-up remover, that's not oil-based.

Je zelo nežen  in temeljito odstrani ves makeup.  Neutrogena Visibly Clear moisturizer Tana eyelash curler - my absolute favourite eyelash...

These are a new addition to the 3D Effet line of glossess by Bourjois (here are pictures from their official fb page). I don't know if they're replacing the previous  3D Effet line. These have a brush applicator and they all contain heavy shimmer (except 18, which is a clear gloss). They seemed quite thick when I swatched them, they're advertised as being...

Yesterday I had the chance to swatch all 6 shades of the Smoky Eye Effect eyeshadows. Now I know these swatches are a bit lousy, but the weather has been really gloomy for weeks here, so I had to take the pictures under the artificial light. Well most of them are accurate except the second colour from the Purple dust duo, the colour...

This week Manhattan's Nude Couture LE finally reached Slovenia. I didn't plan to buy anything, but Rosewood caught my eye (obviously under the deceiving shop lights. When will I learn?). Rosewood is a beige-rose, it almost mimics my natural lip colour. When I swatched on my hand it looked more peachy, I was a bit disappointed when I tried it on my lips....
