REVIEW: Coloricon blusher (Berry Shimmer)

Hello lovelies :)

I got this blush in september and used it quite a lot in the previous month :) I really like this colour, it is something quite special in my blush collection (consisting mostly of orange, coral and peach blushes). Today I decided to review it :D

This blush comes in a thin, black plastic packaging with a transparent lid. As with all of the Wet'n'Wild packaging, it is not the best looking or feeling, but it is sturdy enough for traveling and it gets it's job done. You get 4,0g/0.14oz of product. It also comes with a thin brush. The brush is nice for picking up product, but absolute crap for blending it. I do not advise you to use it, but it might be good for touch ups :D

The blush is a nice warm berry colour with a bit of tiny gold shimmer in it. The shimmer does not transfer to the face, but the blush itself is really pigmented. It does kick up quite a bit of dust in the pan, when you put your brush in it to pick up the product. The blush did fade on me a bit troughout the day, but it did not appear patchy. It also blended really nicely.

All in all I really like this blush :) You can get it at Destination pretty for 4,53 € (there are also other colours available). 

Did you try any of Wet'n'Wild blushes?

Hope you enjoyed this post :D

Have a nice day :)

Autumn Tag

Hello lovelies :D

Autumn is here and we decided to do the Autumn tag :D We saw this tag on Barbara's blog :)

1. Ok, we're talking coffee's - what's your favourite seasonal drink from Starbucks/Costa/Cafe Nero...?

Sadly we do not have any of these here in Slovenia, if we would I would be probably there every day drinking everything with caramel flavour in it :P
We don't have them here, but it would be anything with caramel, salted caramel, white chocollate...or still good old capucino :)

2. Accessories - what do you opt for scarf, boots or gloves?

Definetly scarf, I love scarves more than anything :D
Scarf always!

3. Music - what's your favourite music to listen to during Autumn?

Same as every season, hard rock and punk, aldough I do not limit myself too much when it comes to music... If the song is good, than it is good no matter what genre it is. It just so happens that I like mosty punk and rock.

It's rock no matter what time fo the year it is :D

4. Perfume - what's your favourite scent for this time of year?

I can not remember the last time I wore perfume (prom maybe?). I am not a big perfume person, so I do not really have a perfume scent for Autumn...
DKNY - Be delicious 

5. Candles - what scents will you be burning this season?

Anything vanilla or cinammon scented :D
Same as Tjaša + pumpkin and chocolate scents.

6. What do you love most about Autumn?

Leaves turning orange, yellow and red. I think nature is really at it's best in this time of the year :)
I love rain and cozzy evenings insideand also the nature is beautifull when it's changing. 

7. Favourite makeup look?

Violet, gold, brown and green eyeshadows paired with plum or nude lipsticks :D 
Brown, gold, green, rosegold shadows, plumy or dark red lips and plumy blush.

8. What are you looking forward to most in Autumn?

College hahaha :) no but really, I love college, learning new stuff and seeing all the good friends of mine :D
Yes we are weirdos...i love college to, i love that i have something to do that makes me happy every single morning...it's not hard for me to get up for college. And also i can't wait to start burning candles and bake some goodies and chestnutts :D

REVIEW: Wet'n'Wild Walking on Eggshells coloricon trio

Hello lovelies :)

Today I decided to review one of the palettes I always use when I am in a hurry in the morning :) I have heard soo many good things about this trio and I finally decided to get it. I think there is no need to say that this trio ir really good for it's price. Let me explain how and why :D

This palette comes in a plastic black packaging with the transparent lid. It is not the best looking packaging and not the sturdiest, but I did some traveling with it and it did not break. It is travel friendly aldough it does look and feel a bit cheap. You get 3,5g/0.12oz of product all together (three eyeshadows).

All the eyeshadows are shimmery. They are buttery and very pigmented and blend really nicely. The browbone shade is a bit sheer, but it can be packed on to make it more intense. There is a bit of fallout (mostly shimmer) with all of the shades. These shades crease on me after 8 hours, which is really impressive  considering every eyeshadow creases on me sooner or later (I call that: 'the curse of the mad oily lids')

All in all I really like this palette. It is available on Destination pretty for 4,53 € which I think is a really good price for that kind of quality. You can see how they look and perform on the lids in my fall inspired FOTD post (click here).

Did you try any of the coloricon trios?

Hope you enjoyed this post :)
Have a nice day :)

FOTD: Simple fall look

Hello lovelies :)

How are you :) ? I finally decided to do another face of the day :) I love doing these things, but it never looks as good on the pictures as it does in person. I need to take soo many pictures and even than the ones that are good I do not feel like they are good enough. I am not even kidding, I took around a 100 pictures just for this look (I suck at selfies, what can I say...) and only these turned out semi ok :P Well I hope you like it anyway :)

EYES:

*Essence I <3 stage primer

*Wet'n'Wild walking on eggshells

*Essence longlasting eye pencil (01 black fever & 15 bling bling)

*Eessence I <3 extreme crazy volume mascara

SKIN:

*Catrice prime and fine healthy look primer

*Essence stay all day concealer (20 soft beige)

*Catrice camouflage cream (010 ivory)

*Catrice Nude illusion make up (020 rose ivory)

*Catrice colour correcting mattifying powder (010 delicate blossom)

LIPS:

EYEBROWS:

I used the crease shade from walking on eggshells palette and applied it to the inner third and outer third of my eyelid. 

After that I applied the eyelid shade from the same palette on the middle of the lid. I used the crease colour in the crease and blended it up and out. After that I highlightet my browbone with the browbone shade.

To finish the look I applied mascara to my top lashes, tightlined my upper waterline with Essence longlasting eyepencil in black fever and applied the eyepencil in bling bling on my lower waterline.

And here is my whole face :D

What do you think? Do you like it? Would you wear something like this or is it too much (or too little) to wear everyday?

Hope you enjoyed reading :)

Have a nice day ;)

REVIEW: NYX blush (Taupe)

Hello lovelies :)

I do not contour much, but if I do I use this little guy. I have heard soo many good things about this blush, soo many people liked it and used it and I decided to get it (because you never know when you need it, right?). Aldough I got it way back at the beginning of August I did not feel comfortable writing a review untill now, since I did not feel like I tested it enough. Well finally I have and here is what I think about it :)

Product comes in a black plastic packaging with a transparent lid. At the back of the packaging is the name of the blush written an the ingredients. On the lid is written NYX Powder Blush in black lettering. You get 4g / 0.14oz. of product.

The shade is cool taupe with grey undertones to it and I think it is especially good to use on a pale skin with neutral or cool undertones. It also works for mediun warm skin tones too. This shade is exclusively for contouring, it is not ment for bronzing or anything else because of its cool undertone. The pigmentation is medium to sheer (depending on your skin tone), but that is a good thing. It can be build up nicely and it does not look patchy on the skin. It was still visible on my face at the end of the day, but it did fade a bit (hovewer it did fade nicely, without any patchyness).

All in all I like this product and I can see why soo many people like it :)

What do you think? Do you contour or not?

I usually do not since I do not think it is neccesarry to have a contoured face when in school or at work.

Hope you enjoyed this post :) 

Have a nice day ;)

NOTD: Green gradient with glitter

Hello lovelies
I have some new NOTD for you today :) Finaly!!! Aldough the nail on my middle finger is stil a bit shorter than my other nails… Well I just could not wait any longer. I decided to create some more gradient nail art, this time using green :) Here is what I used and how I did it :)

Essence (yes we pop) - 02 grab this hype
essence - 179 roller coaster
essence - 183 be my lucky star
essence - 103 space queen

First I applied two coats of grab this hype on my nails. After the nailpolish was fully dried I mixed grab this hype and roller coaster and applied with with a spondge tip aplicator on the nail bed. I used my lucky star on the top of the mixed colour, again applying it with the spondge tip applicator. After everything was nice and dried I topped everything with space queen.

What do you think of this nail art (If you can call it art… haha :P)? Do you like to wear green nail polish?
I hope you enjoyed this post :)
Have a nice day ;)

REVIEW: Essence soo glow highlighter

Hello lovelies :)

How are you all been doing lately? I just started the finall year of college and lost my mojo in the first two days... it will be a long year I tell you... sigh. But that is not what I wanted to talk to you about today :) I decided to share my thoughts on one of the new products in the Essence line called soo glow! highlighter. This is my first experience with a cream to powder formula. Here are my thoughts on it :)

The highlighter comes in a transparent plastic packaging, there is 4g of product. It comes in two shades and the shade that I got is called 10 Look on the bright side. The shade looks very pale, with yellow undertones to it in the pan. It does not look as yellow when applied on the skin and it contains some tiny gold shimmer. It is nicely visible in person, but not overpowering.

The formula is quite interesting. It is a cream, but when you apply it, it turns into a powder finish instantly. It can be applied with a brush or finger. I find it a bit hard to blend out, because it turns to powder as soon as the product touches the skin, but it is not such big of a deal. Highlighter does not apply streaky and it was still visible on me after the whole day, aldough it did loose some of its intensity.

All in all I really like this highlighter and if you are in need of one I recommend it :)

What do you think? Do you use highlighter every day or just on speciall occasions, if at all?

Hope you enjoyed this post :)

Have a nice day :)
