First Impresionss: Catrice Multi Matt Blush (020 La-Lavender) & Deluxe Trio Eyeshadow (030 Rose Vintouch)

Hello lovelies :)

It feels like Christmas in the middle of summer. Some of the new Catrice products came in drugstores and ofcourse I imediately grabbed the bits that were on my wishlist. I do not consider this post as review, since I did not have time to test all the products properly (I had them for 2 days, not nearly enought time to finalize my oppinion on them), but I did try them out and I wanted to talk about them, in case somebody out there is wondering about them. So here is my first impression of both products.

MULTI MATT BLUSH (020 LA-LAVENDER)

The blush comes in a square transparent plastic packaging. There is 8g/0.28 0z.of product in it. The blush is matt and consists of 4 thin stripes that range from light pink to brownish plum. Mixed together they look like a pinkish lavender colour. You can look on the swatches below that the blush swaches really really poorly in fact the blush feels quite dry especialy when compared with the defining blushes from Catrice. Aldough the swatches look quite blah, applied to the cheeks the blush looks really pretty. It is not the most pigmented blush out there but it shows on the cheeks pigmented enough and can be build up a little, to achieve bigger intensity. It blends nicely and does not look patchy. I personally am happy with it so far. 

All of the different colours in the blush

all the blush colours mixed together

DELUXE TRIO EYESHADOW (030 ROSE VINTOUCH)

The shades come in a nice plastic packaging that is black with a transparent lid. There is 'Deluxe trio eyeshadow' written on the lid with the silver lettering. There are three shimmery baked shades in the palette. The first shade is a champagne with a bit of pinkish undertone, the second one is a cool toned dusty purple with golden glitter and the last one is a dark plum with some sheen. I used this palette once and so far I can tell that the eyeshadows are nicely pigmented and do not have much fallout (I always tapp off my brush, before applying eyeshadow on my lids), they also blend nicely. My biggest concern was that the two purple eyeshadows would look quite similar on the lids. When packed on you can clearly distinct between the shades, but when blended out they really start to look a like, aldough you can still distinct between them because of the undertone.

I also swatched the brown trio in the store and it appeared much more shimmery to me than this palette.

and this is how both products look on my face. Aldough the blush does not swatch half decent it actually looks really prety on the cheeks. 

Did you pick up any of the new products?

What do you think about them?

Thank you for reading :D

Have a nice day :)

Makeup Revoltion Iconic Pro Lipstick in Duel

Hi lovelies,

about a month ago Makeup Revolution came out with new line of lipsticks, called Iconic Pro.

There is a mix of creamy and matte shades, some shades are avalible in both finishes, wich i think is genius.

 Each lipstick comes in a black box, with rose gold writing and a sticker with the colour and name of the shade on top. 

 The packaging is a copy of MAC lipsticks, wich i really like, since i've been in love with MACs packaging. It glossy black, with rose gold ring in the middle and rose gold writing. The tube is really nice and it stays closed when it's in my bag.

 On the bottom you can see the shade, name and number of lipstick.

 Mine is in the shade Duel, a creamy formual of cool toned red with blue undertones.  It is really creamy after you break trough the top layer, The smell is heavy vanillia but you can't smell it while you're wearing it. Since it's a creamy finish it won't last as long as i would like, it will leave a stain, but you would have to reapply it every 2 hours, more if you're eating and drinking.

I think they are really good, for the price and the shade range is quite big, also i like the selection of finishes. I have my eye on few more shades :D

You can get Iconc Pro lipstick on Makeup Revolution site for 3,46€ and on Ličila.si for 4,95€.

Did you try Iconic Pro lipsicks? 

Let me know ;)

Have a grat day!

*Lipstick was set to me.

Top 5 Summer Make Up Products // Collaboration

Hello lovelies :)

Summer is in full swing here. How do I know? Well, for starters, it is freaking hot! Like abnormally, nonbeliveably hot. To combat the heat wave we did a collaboration with Manca from Invisibly Perfect. Each of us picked top 5 products from three different categories: make up, body and hair. Since I do not even have 5 hair or body products (honestly I doubt that I have 5 body&hair products alltogether), I picked the make up category. Here are 5 products that I loved soo far and scream summer to me (the nice 'mojito in the shade under a huge tree' summer, not the 'unbeliveably hot almost unbearable' summer).

SLEEK I - DIVINE EYESHADOW PALETTE - SUNSET

I was not sure at first, if I would like this palette, but sure enough the pretty mix of colours proved me otherwise. This nice mix of colour and neutralish hues with a black thrown into it is just perfect for summer. All the colours are nicely pigmented and shimmery (except for the black). They blend nicely and stay put quite a long time on the lids.

ESSENCE SOO GLOW! CREAM TO POWDER HIGHLIGHTER (10 LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE)

I looooooove this highlight (shocker right?). I use it for mixing with my current liquid foundation (Nude Illusion by Catrice). That way my skin can appear luminous even after a ton of setting powder was put onto it (I neet that setting powder as the fish needs water).

WET'N'WILD MEGA LAST MATTE LIPSTICK - 903C JUST PEACHY

A lovely really light peachy shade that really is matte and survives fairly long on the lips. It is really opaque, but it does not suit me as such, so I apply it sheered out.

ZOYA SATIN PROFESSIONAL LACQUER - LEAH

I am becoming more and more obsessed with Zoya nailpolishes, especially their satin formula. Matte without looking chalky, creamy texture and opaqueness packaged in a pretty bottle. That said, Leah is a really pretty neutral/nude shade that is just perfect no matter the season :)

MILANI BAKED BLUSH - 05 LUMINOSO

This blush was the love on first sight. The shine it gives to the cheeks is just the most radiant, natural and beautifull I have seen soo far. It is beautifully pigmented, applies nicelly and can be sheered out for a really nice and natural, healthy skin effect.

And here is the make up I created using these products :D

What are your top 5 Summer make up products?

Top 5 Summer Hair Products // Collaboration

Hi lovelies,

i've been melting for the past few weeks since it's  sooooo hot and i hate heat, so you can imagine my suffering xD

So since we need to survive the summer time we (me, Tjaša and Manca) decided to do collaboration  about our top 5 hair, body and makeup products for summer.

So here are my top 5 summer hair products :D

 DRY SHAMPOO

I am trying not to wash my hair too much and i do it once a week, Because i ''trained'' my hair not to be washed that frequent, they don't get oily as fast as they did before. So after 3 days my roots get a bit oily and i use a dry shampoo on them and i am good for 2 days. 

I am using the Balea Trend It Up one, since it's cheap, smells lovely and you can get it in every DM :D

  TEXTURIZING SPRAY

Who doesn't like beach  waves? I always loved the waves i got at vecation, when my hair dried after i got out of the sea. Since i haven't been on vacation and i want thos ewaves at home sometimes i use texturizing sprays. This one is from Schwarzkopf got2b Beach Girl Mermaid Look Texturizing Salt Spray. It smells lovely, doesn't make my hair heavy or sticky and i love the packaging.

  LEAVE IN TREATMENT

During the year i am always using Uniq One leave in treatment in the original scent, but when spring/summer hits i switch for the coconut scent. It's just the best scent and if you know me jsut a little bit, then you know how much i love coconut. It makes my hair soft, easy to comb, protects my color, prevents split ends, protects from the heat and many more good things. I would really recomend it.:)

  SILICON DROPS

I need silicon drops simply becaus eof my frizziness. When i dry my hair they get so freaking frizzy that i need some help. And those drops are miracle in a bottle. The frizzines is gone and it leavs my hair soft and shiny.

 HAIR OIL

Probably you already heard about argan and other oils for your hair and how amazing they are. They really help with split ends, really dry hair, frizziness and they also smell amazing,

I switch between Schwarzkopf got2v Ol-la-la Argan Oil and Moroccanoil Light. I like both of them, but i love the got2b better because of the pump and the scent is divine.

So those are my top 5 summer hair products! Please tell me yours, i would like to know. :)

Here are the links to Tjaša's and Manca's post.

Have an awesome day and don't melt, oh well some people are worth melting for :P
