・ Review ・ETUDE HOUSE Minnie kissing lips (#1 Minnie Red)

              Badly applied, sorry.

Hello everyone! Today I'm really excited to share with you a review of another lovely red lipstick, this time from the korean brand Etude House, which is my favorite korean brand. This lipstick it's from the "xoxo Minnie Collection" a collaboration released in October with Disney, which featured Minnie. I know I'm a bit late but it took so long to get here since it was blocked by the customs ><

Anyway, I've got it from the super sweet Alice of w2beauty, Thank you so much Alice! ♡

This collection offers a large range of cosmetics, nail polishes and fake lashes. 

I've got a lipstick, you can find it in 2 different shades, pink and red, and I've chosen the red one (yes, you've heard me right, not the pink one lol) which I love! and the blush which I'm going to review in my next post. (Here's  the whole package)

The packaging is just too lovely and girly! While the lipstick it's of a really gorgeous vivid and deep red, I'd say a sexy red which gives a fuller look to your lips. I want to add that I love how it looks like on my skin tone. 

Also, it has a good pigmentation and the texture is just perfect for my dry lips, really creamy and moisturizing.

It's quite scented, I'd say a sweet peachy scent? but it's not too strong. Anyway, I like it! It's quite similar to my MAC Viva Glam Rihanna, just without the frost finish, also it makes my eyes pop the same way and unfortunately it's a limited edition as well. So if you were searching for an affordable Viva Glam Rihanna dupe here it is! Also, it's not really long lasting, it goes away after eating or drinking, so you always need to re-apply it.. otherwise it can last for about 3 hours. What to say.. this is absolutely going to join the family of my favorite reds. What do you think about it? Leave a comment and let me know! Don't forget to follow my facebook page for more updates! :)

You can buy this lipstick and many other korean cosmetics, plus, you'll also receive loads of extra samples (I've also got a yummy korean candy) from the amazing website W2BEAUTY ♡

See you soon! (✿◠‿◠)

・ Review + Swatches ・ MAC - Girl About Town + Giveaway Winner

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all had amazing holidays filled with love and gifts  :)
First of all I would like to thanks everyone, I've reached 200+ followers! I know this is not that much but I really would like to Thank you all because we're slowly growing, so again, thank you ♥
Let's start! My first post of 2014 yayy I'm excited :)
This is a gift I've got from my sister, I'm talking about the gorgeous "Girl About Town" from MAC ♥ (3 g / 0.1 US oz)
A phenomenal bold and bright blue fuchsia (which means it has blue undertones), a top-seller and a must-have if you're a fan of pink lipsticks, also it does look stunning on both blondes and brunettes (this is how it looks like on Kim Kardashian) and with almost any skin tone, the perfect shade for a night out (but it's perfect also by day)
 The amplified creme formula is amazing, nor drying but also not moisturizing at all, in my opinion it's a little drier than  "Pink Nouveau" which is a "satin lipstick". Anyway, t's really long-lasting,  even after drinking and eating it's still there without re-applying it!! The scent it's the typical vanilla scent of mac lipsticks which I love but it's taste-free. From my swatches you can see it's a lot more darker than "Saint Germain" but the formula is the same. As always MAC does such a fabulous job with brights.
In conclusion I was dying to try this out and now I can finally say that I'm satisfied, I love it! I would recommend it to everyone.
What do you think about it? Comment below and let me know :)

Congratulations!!
I'll send it really soon ♥ 

・ Review + Swatches ・Etude House Dear My Blooming Lips-Talk #PK013

Etude House "Dear My Blooming Lips-Talk" ($9.98 for 3.4g 0.11 o.z)  starting from the packaging.. as always Etude House makes the prettiest packagings! This lipstick comes in a super cute light pink tube which resembles a tulip, featuring a small lilac plastic bow on the bottom also,  there's a crowned heart on the lipstick. I own the shade from the pink range "Pink-Talk" called: #PK013 (also known as 두근거리는 핑크) a buildable bright pink (yes, pink as always lol), but you can find a huge range of shades, so many beautiful and different shades that make it so hard to pick just one! 

What they say on its packaging: "Smooth textured lipstick supplies vivid color and moist shine. Directions: Twist to dispense makeup and apply evenly on lips." (you don't say?!)  

This lipstick It's really pigmented and  when you apply it on the lips it feels like you've just touched your lips with velvet. It's quite long-lasting but neither drying nor hydrating while worn, it seems slightly moisturizing initially but after a while, it just seems neither drying nor hydrating. It's not scented at all neither has a particular taste. It gives a soft sheen to the lips but still has a matte finish. I can say I love it sooo much, that's why Etude House it's one of my favourite brands. But.. it's a pity that there's just a small amount of it in the tube since I'm planning to use it really often. Anyway, I bought mine on cosmetic.jolse.com they're so fast and their prices are the best!  ♥

What do you think about it? comment below and let me know!

I'm planning to get a new shade of this lipstick, any suggestion? :)

・ Review + Swatches ・ Sleek True Colour Lipstick ( Tangerine Scream & Exxxaggerate )

 Some months ago I bought  from www.sleekmakeup.com two lipsticks at €5.99 each for (3.5g)

To be honest the product it's really really great but I'm not going to order from this website anymore, since they say (International shipping- 15 to 20 working days) while it took something like 3 or 4 months to arrive and they had to send it twice, It's crazy! 

I'm disappointed cause I loved the fact that it's not tested on animals and I really wanted to try their blushes *sobs* so if you live somewhere where they sell this brand in stores, you're lucky.

Anyway, let's talk about them. :)

 Sleek True Colour Lipstick, Tangerine scream it's an orangy sheen lipstick with Vitamin E (which hydrate the lips) while Exxxaggerate it's a purple matte lipstick with Vitamin E.

Both of them are conditioning, highly pigmented and easy to apply, especially the sheen one.

 Both of them are non-sticky and comfortable to wear.

Actually, I don't think the purple one really suits me.. it's kinda too dark for my skintone, maybe I can use it for halloween or smth, but I love how the Orange one looks on me!

Also as you can Imagine the sheen one it's more glossy and has a shining finish yet it's not thick and even if you put just a little layer of it on your lips it still looks awesome because tends to a pastel orange! and you know I love pastel colours. ♥

Exxxaggerate it's more dry and compared to 'Tangerine Scream' it's a little bit harder to apply :(( but if you use a lip pencil it's okay, also, even if I don't really like this shade ( no judgement, I know it's perfect for autumn/winter but.. I'm not really used to it) anyway I like that it gives you really full looking lips.
Plus, they last for 4 or 5 hours! ^o^

Here's how they looks on me:

・ Review + Swatches ・ Mac Saint Germain

Hello everyone! I'm back from holidays after a long time and I'm ready to make loads of new reviews!!

Do you remember my review about the mac lipstick "Pink Nouveau" ? well I said I was going to try the Saint Germain.. and finally here it is! :)

A pastel pink lipstick that tends to a lilac, I would say the perfect pink barbie shade.

My favourite color!

It has blue undertones, it's perfect for cool skin tones but also, 

I like the effect it has on tanned skin.

A color that literally pop on your lips, It looks quite "fluo" lol

swatches.

Also, it's quite hard to apply it, I've had some problems since it's like.. too creamy? 

but with a base of primer it's okay.

The pigmentation it's perfect and it lasts for like 5-6 hours so you don't have to always re-apply it.

My thoughts? I totally love it ♥

ps: can u guess what my next review will be? just look at the first pic :)

See you soon bunnies! Let me know what do u think about it.

・ Review + Swatches ・Kate Moss LASTING FINISH by Rimmel London

Maybe it's already a bit outdated but I still love them! I'm talking about the Lipstick collection by Kate Moss, a must-have. Love her and I love this collection so much, those lipsticks are asbolutely amazing!

I got two of them, the Red one in #10 (Kate's favorite shade) and the fuchsia one in #20
All the 11 shades of this collection are amazing! and the price it's only 7.90 €
It's really creamy and It last for 8 hours but you can remove it really easily, it's also quite moisturizing!
Personally I think that the red one really looks like the Apocalips lip lacquer in #Apocaliptic.

Here are the swatches!

Love you all, see ya soon! （\ ^∇^) /

・ Review + Swatches ・ Mac Pink Nouveau

As you can see, I'm addicted to lipstick, especially pink lipsticks.

Some months ago I went at MAC store to buy a candy yum yum.. but they said they don't sell it where i live T_T so since I wanted a mac pink lipstick so bad I decided to choose one with a shade close to candy yum yum.

After a long search.. here's my Pink Nouveau, one of the best shade of pink!
It's less bright than Candy Yum Yum but this shade is awesome since it's not too vivid and not too light, so you can wear it at anytime and everywhere.
And to be honest I love how it looks on blondes with light skin <3

It's pigmented and really creamy  !
As you all already know MAC lipsticks are quite expensive but it's worth it since it last all day long and (at least this one, it's my first one so I don't know about the others) are also moisturizing.

Here's a swatches, how it looks on my lips. ^^
What do you think about it?
Since I loved this one my next purchase by MAC will be the Saint Germain!

See you soon（〜^∇^) 〜
Byeee! ★

・ Review + Swatches ・Yves Saint Laurent - Voluptè sheer candy

 Yves Saint Laurent - Voluptè sheer candy

(^._.^)ﾉ This is a gift from my boyfriend, the YSL lipstick, (glossy balm crystal color)
A scented lipstic, in Goyave Sorbet (Cool Guava) n° 9 a perfect shade for spring and summer.
I love it so much! it's one of my favorite lipstick ever.
The color it's light and shining and the smell it's soooo good! <3
It contains antioxidant vitamins and it's moisturizing like a lip balm.
It's a really creamy lipstick  and it makes your lips looks bigger O.O
I want to buy another shade of this lipstick for sure, it's really natural and the packaging it's really pretty (it kinda reminds me of something from sailor moon I don't know why lol)
Even if I really love this lipstick there are some cons, of course the price it's really expensive but it's worth it, it's not really pigmented and it fade away from the lips really easily >< but you can always re-apply it lol

Well, that's all for today, hope you like it ^^

・ Review + Swatches ・ Kiko Lipstick n° 84

I think every girl should have a red lipstick in their makeup case! and today I want to show you one of my favorite.

The n° 84 by Kiko.

I bought it some weeks ago in one of  kiko's store in Italy, it was the last one of this shade and it was only around 3€ so I had to try it. 
To be honest I've never really liked Kiko's lipstick before ( I hate them) because they were all too "glossy" and they immediately faded from the lips >< but this one it's really awesome! it's such a vivid red and it last all day long! (even if you eat) it gives you sexy and full looking lips :3

Pros: long lasting, awesome color and really cheap
Cons: the only cons.. it's too effing dry, but if you put a moisturizer before there's no problem.


You know what? Usually there are too many shades similar to each other, Kiko should have more fantasy, that's why this one really surprised me.

That's how it looks on my lips, I love the contrast between pale skin and red lips!

・ Review + Swatches ・ Holika Holika's Heart ful Moisture Lipstick

Hello!! As you can see this is my first ever post.. I've always wanted to have my own blog but I was scared because I didn't know what to write I was afraid to sound boring but.. today I've finally decided to start writing about what I love hoping you will like it! :)

Here's a quick review of the Holika Holika's (the famous korean brand) Heart ful Moisture Lipstick.

The one that I own is in Pink Love #PK121

Useless to say that the packaging is too cute!! (we know that korean makeup brands always do the best packaging)

I was afraid that the heart shape would have gone away after a while but surprisingly no!! and thanks to that shape the lipstick is easily applied.
The colour is really vivid, and it fits the lips well;
Since my lips are always dry (eww) I've also noticed that it moisturize them perfectly because it contains a high moisture essential oil complex (sweet orange oil, grapefruit oil, olive oil)
The smell is also awesome.

(Picture with flash)


So what I thought about it:
Long Lasting
Low price (Only $ 9,99)
Good Smell
Nice color

You can find it in any Holika Holika's shop, but if like me you live in narnia you can find it online, I bought mine on ebay :)

so hope you enjoyed my first post, for any questions etc feel free to comment below.

Bye~ヾ(＾∇＾)
