April Favourites

  Revlon Matte Eyeshadow in 009 Rich Sable I've had this eyeshadow for more years that I care to remember, so I'm not sure if it's still sold any more. Rich Sable is a matte cool deep brown that I love wearing in the outer V of the eye to give it definition. The shade is similar to Faint in Urban Decay Basic palette only a bit...

Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream

Every time Bourjois releases a new foundation I get a bit excited. All bases I've tried from their brand are fantastic with Healthy Mix Serum standing proudly at the top of my favourites since it was launched three years ago and Bourjois nailed it yet again with this CC Cream. Texture: It's very similar to Healthy Mix Serum, so a light formula, it just...

Revlon Parfumerie Scented Nail Enamel Bordeaux

I known I'll end up sounding very shallow, but I bought this nail polish mostly because of the packaging, so would keep it displayed in a decorative plate I have placed on my vanity. I was also intrigued by the idea of scented nail polishes. Bordeaux is as the name suggests a burgundy wine shade, so a deep red with a bit of...

New In: Makeup Revolution London

Makeup Revolution London is a brand that is new to me. Their products are sensibly priced and they actually have some nice dupes of UD's Naked Palettes called Iconic palettes. A Slovene online beauty shop Ličila.si started selling this brand and on this occasion I was sent a few bits to try out. Because I just got these products yesterday, this is just...

H&M Lip Tint Raspberry Red

H&M is not known for their make up line though it's not that modest especially abroad. We get only occasional bits in Slovenia and these lip tints were placed at the registers (H&M Citypark LJ). There were a few colours to choose from, I remember a blue toned pink and one was red. The warm pink caught my eye called Raspberry red.  Texture:...

Maybelline Colorama Bleached Neons 242

Mother of nail polishes was this a hard shade to take an accurate picture of! I fixed them with software to get it as close as possible, but they still lack that "neon-ness" that is noticeable in real life. This is a shade that looks so pretty in the bottle where it appears as a bleached (muted) neon coral-pink and I had every...

Essence Cookies & Cream Shimmer Pearls

It's been quite a while since I purchased something from essence's TE, but I found a full display of Cookies & Cream TE and I grabbed these shimmer pearls. As I said in my New In post I've been on a search for a new powder and I'm considering maybe taking a plunge and buying the famous Guerlain Meteorites, so I got these...

New In #13

 Lancôme Hypnôse Star Waterproof mascara Müller had a 20% off some high-end mascaras and I couldn't pass up the chance to repurchase one of my favourites. This time I got the Star version of Hypnôse which is in a glamorous shimmery packaging and has a different wand, however, the formula is the same as the original waterproof one (I actually wanted the Doll version, but the only...

Kérastase Chroma Sensitive Caressing Cleansing Balm

Ever heard of co-washing? It's a very interesting concept and this is my first cleansing balm as well as my first experience with co-washing. I got Kérastase Chroma Sensitive Caressing Cleansing Balm as a very generous gift with purchase which I'm very happy about since I doubt I'd ever pick it up myself. It's a part of their line for coloured hair and...
