This collection has been out for quite a while. I must have passed the display a dozen times and never really looked at it. Well the visual alone repelled me. But recently Dazzledust25 did a rave video about the Glow stick blush and Pink parfait lipstick, so I finally checked this collection out. Jelly Kiss gel lipstick are completely new. There are four shades available (51 Bare bliss, 52 Rose blush, 53 Pink parfait and 54 Lilac tulle), they all look bright but the formula is sheer and glossy. I think they are very similar to their Cream gloss stylos.

Essence ima novo linijo linerjev, Glam liners, na voljo v 5-ih barvah. Kupila sem si zlat odtenek 05 Royal spendour, moj swatch mu dela krivico, je zelo lepe zlate barve v RL oz. tak kot se vidi v embalaži. So kar pigmentirani in se hitro posušijo, potem se ne zabrišejo, kar je super. Obstojnost je kar v redu, meni je zelo všeč, pa še zelo poceni.

 

Končno ena linija šmink z dobrimi odtenki. Všeč mi je vsaj polovica, od 12 - 47 (brez 28) so zelo lepe in nosljive barve. So zelo dobre šminke, kvalitetne, zelo podobne Macovi glaze formuli. Niso polno prekrivne, imajo nekakšen kremen finiš, so kar vlažilne, ampak niso mastne. Oblika šminke mi je misterij, je neka čudna prirezana oblika, katere namen mi ni jasen. Embalaža je super, zelo elegantna, mat, črna tuba, zelo kvalitetna. Odtenek 47 je svetlo roza z nekaj breskve, zelo podoben Macovi Hue, ampak Hue je bolj roza in svetlejša. Vseeno ko jo naneseš na ustnice je razlika skoraj nezaznavna. Na nekomu, ki ima samo odtenek temnejšo polt kot jaz, se po moje razlike sploh ne bi opazilo. Nima kakšnega posebnega vonja, obstojnost je precej dobra, kakšne 4 ure. Šminke vsebujejo jojobino in olivno olje, vitamina C in E, ter so brez parabenov in dišav.

 

The range of colours may be large, but none of the shades appeal to me. I actually bought one years ago, but I sold it within a week. It was the shade 640 called Soft Suede and it looked so much pinker and lighter under the deceiving shop's lights.These are very pigmented, in fact they stained my hand. Seriously not even with soap the colours didn't wash of completely. Most of the shades are frosty, which I profoundly dislike, I think only the red shades don't have any shimmer. The red shades (812, 820) are actually really pretty. I think this is the first time I've seen a copper shade of lipstick (which btw looks as horrible as it sounds), I doubt shades 770 and 775 look good on anyone (they marked them here as appropriate for darker skin tones). If you like really light, nude shades, you won't find any here, especially if you're as pale as I am. All in all another completely unappealing range of shades for me, but quality-wise I remember them being quite long lasting. If you like frosty lipsticks this just might be the range for you.

I hope this post was helpful and thanks for looking!

 

I love the sweet, fruity, summery LE fragrances from Escada (last years's Marine Groove is my favourite fragrance ever!). The most recent is called Taj Sunset and it smells like mangos, I adore it. Note include ''Alphonso mango, nectarine and blood orange as top notes, the heart features aquatic flowers with raspberry and pomarosa or Malay apple. The base consists of coconut, sandalwood and musk.'' (From Fragrantica.com). 

My L'Oreal Voluminous mascara dried up and I just hated the way the formula thickened towards the end. I had to wipe off a lot of the product from the brush, otherwise it would look like a disaster. So I bought a new mascara, this time Million Lashes with extra black formula. It's another one with a rubbery brush, which I prefer. I find it an average mascara, it works the same as all other mascaras with the plastic brushes (and I've tried almost all on the market, from HE to drugstore). It gives length and it defines the lashes, which is what I'm looking for. It a good daytime mascara, but if you're looking for volume try Voluminous instead. The brush is too big in my opinion, I manage to poke myself in the eye regularly when using it (the same thing happened to me with the False Lashes by Max Factor).

I've already posted the swatches of 3D Max line here and the swatch of 62 Rose gold, which I already used up. So here is the swatch of 61 Rose Acidulé. It a light to medium pink with a bit of coral tones. It's very shinny, but it doesn't contain a lot of shimmer like shade 62, here the shimmer is much more subtle. This swatch is the very accurate (I'm very pale btw, somewhere around NC 15).
