April Favourites, Updates and Wishlist

RIMMEL Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick 500 Fire Starter As far as matte liquid lipsticks go, this is one of my favourites out of the ones that are sold in our drugstores. Maybelline's last forever on the lips, but these are more comfortable and still perfectly matte, pigmented and last enough to get you through the day. It's one of those lipsticks I...

Pixi by Petra Lip Lift Max

I'm not that familiar with Pixi apart from their super hyped up Glow Tonic with AHA, but I got this in a swap from Canada. It's the first lip gloss I've seen that claims it contains peptides, which are anti-ageing ingredients, but the rest is already more common such as the claim it hydrates the lips. In addition to that it's a plumping...

Rimmel Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick

These Stay All Day Liquid Lipsticks aren't new, as I think they launched either last year or the year before that, but they reached our drugstores sometime in Autumn. Despite the rather impressive shade range (I think it's 14 colours), we only have 5 and not the easy-to-wear pinky nude shade Blush I wanted. I still treated myself to a classic red shade...

My Top 5 Foundations

My Top 5 Foundation post is due for an much needed update (old one from 2015 is here), since in the past years I've discovered three foundations that really impressed me. My skin type hasn't changed since I've done the last post, nor do I have any different preferences than before. I'm happy to report that in the past three years I found...

Maybelline Volumin' Express the Mega Plush Mascara

This is one of the Volumin' Express mascaras that never reached Slovenia, so I got mine in a swap from Canada. It's got a flexible/bendy wand that had its brief moment several years ago and trying this mascara, I don't see the benefits of it. It's a mascara that excels that multiplying the lashes, but it has a very natural effect. The formula...

Essence 3D Dewy Look Stick & Holo Wow! Sparkle Stick

Essence launched a few new highlighting products in the last update, mostly notably a mermaid highlighter and there's also a highlighting palette, so these two highlighting stick versions sort of flew under the radar, at least that's the impression I got. Only these two exist, so the holographic one and the dewy one. ESSENCE 3D Dewy Look Stick 10 dewy is the new...

The Saem Cover Perfection Tip Concealer

This concealer is one of the most popular products by The Saem and I believe also one of bestselling K-beauty makeup items (at least online), which is actually how I found it. When I was reading reviews, I saw it's often compared to Nars' Creamy Radiant Concealer, labelled a dupe for a fraction of a price.  Texture: Out of all my high coverage...
