Lippies for Spring Part 2: Oranges


Second part of my favorite lip products for spring and summer: today it's the turn of orange, my favorite color to wear especially with a bit of a tan!

Top: L'Oréal Caresse in 200 Princess, Catrice 8h Lip Polish in 030 Strawberry
Bottom: Maybelline Superstay 24h Color in 460 Infinite Coral, Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick 12
Starting with the orange ones (from top left to bottom right):
  • L'Oréal Caresse in 200 Princess: this is a pigmented gloss that stains your lips once the glossy bit is gone, very nice and long lasting;
  • Catrice Made to Stay 8h Lip Polish in 030 Strawberry Secret: this is the sheerest of the bunch and the one I use when I only want a hint of color;
  • Maybelline Superstay 24h Color in 460 Infinite Coral: this is a great stain and I use it as a base for the L'Oreal Caresse or the Rimmel lipstick to make sure they will last longer and there will be more color left if they fade;
  • Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate lipstick in 12: my favorite of these oranges, it is the perfect shade, comfortable to wear and long lasting!
Do you wear orange lipstick? Do you have any suggestion I should check out?

Nabla Skin Glazing and Skin Bronzing swatches

Image
 Since their first release last year, the Nabla Cosmetics Skin Glazing formula has been my favorite highlighter and luminous blush formula in my collection. When they released the two new Skin Glazing blushes together with the new Skin Bronzing range in Summer 2020, I couldn’t resist. Check out the video of me trying them out back when they released. The original Nabla Skin Glazing formula is a thin, finely milled luminous powder that feels very firm and hard pressed in the pan. These are not powders with immediate high pigmentation, but rather ultra thin washes of color and light that melt in the skin, giving a lit from within glow. This still holds for the new Skin Bronzing powders. The new shades of Skin Glazing blushes instead are less luminous than the original Truth and Adults Only, and they are more pigmented. I still like the formula very much, but I am not a fan of of the fact that both new shades are pinks. Nabla Skin Glazing Lola The new Nabla Skin Glazing Lola is a pinky co

The Color Analysis Wars Part 1: introduction and ambivalent reds

Image
Welcome to the first of The Color Analysis Wars! In this series in collaboration with Fran from Being Cute is not a Crime , we will explore some principles of Colour Analysis by comparing lipsticks on ourselves. If your are new to the concept of Seasonal Color Analysis, I will add here a piece written by Rachel at Truth is Beauty : Start by understanding that every part of your natural coloring is in harmony with every other part. Your eyes, skin and true hair color all complement each other perfectly, exactly as they are. To look your most beautiful, you don't need to color your hair. You don't need to wear expensive makeup or expensive clothes.   You only need to identify the palette of colors that harmonizes perfectly with the colors that are already in you. The natural palette of your body harmonizes with one of 12 palettes that differ in warmth ,  chroma (brightness),  and value (lightness). We call these different palettes seasons.
