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

It is no secret that I love myself a good Natasha Denona eyeshadow palette, especially a colorful one. However, this latest Circo Loco palette was a big disappointment and I decided to stay well clear away from it. So here's me doing what I love most: diving into my single eyeshadow collection and finding Natasha Denona Circo Loco palette dupes. If you're up to hear me blab about it, check out the Youtube video below.

Colourpop pressed eyeshadows – Swatches and comparisons with Makeup Geek

Originally posted on 28 Feb 2017 Single pan pressed eyeshadows are my weakness, I collect them, I love them. Now that I’ve said that, you won’t be surprised that I’m coming to you with a review and swatches of the new Colourpop pressed shadows . Colourpop launched over 30 new pressed eyeshadows in January promoting it as their biggest launch yet. I picked up quite a few in the meantime and have been using them non stop, so here I thought it was about time to talk to you about them.  The first launch consisted of around 30 pressed shadows and the pre-made palettes. I have filmed both a first impression get ready with me ( here ), as well as a more in depth review and swatch video ( here ) on the 12 shadows that I picked up from that round. Of course, in typical Colourpop style, there have been two other launches since, one of the Valentine’s Day Collection (10 shades, swatches and review here ), and another on Valentine’s Day itself, consisting of another 10 shades in beautiful tones of
