Ηits and misses, swatches and reviews : MUA





Intense lip gloss: A nice – pigmented lipgloss. Not stick, and cute packaging. (sealed with a kiss)

MUA pallete – Pretty Pastels







MAC Hot Tahiti lipstick – Swatch


Η αποχρωση του είναι… Δεν ξέρω πως να την περιγράψω!!!! Ψάχνοντας στο ίντερνετ και άλλα reviews και swatches το διάβασα ως ” Soft Reddish Coral” ”A red with a tinge of orange and pink” ” berry/red/rose” , ” mauv-y red with hints of coral” . Νομίζω οτι όλες οι περιγραφές ταιριάζουν, εξαρτάται τον ”καμβά”. Δηλαδή, στο χέρι μου που είναι κατάλευκο δείχνει κάπως έτσι :
Στα χείλη μου όμως (όχι στο χέρι) – και με ”δικά μου λόγια” θα το έλεγα ένα ανοιχτό μωβο-berry προς wine . Nαι, ξέρω, σας κατατόπισα!
Επειδή με τα λόγια και τις περιγραφές όμως δεν το χω, και δεν πιάνω μια μπροστά στην Μοιραράκη, ορίστε πως φαίνεται στα χείλη μου:
Είναι λίγο sheer, αλλα αφήνει πολυ ωραία τελείωμα , και ενυδατώνει τα χείλη. Δεν θα ελεγα οτι είναι ”στο χρωμα των χειλιών” (ή αλλιώς my lips but better), μιας και είναι λίγο πιο σκούρο για ανοίκει σε αυτή την κατηγορία. Είναι όμως ένα πολύ ευκολοφόρετο χρώμα, όχι μόνο για καθημερινή χρήση αλλα και για πιο βραδάκι .. Φαίνεται πιο έντονο με πιο σκούρο φωτισμό πάντως.
Sleek "Oh So special” Pallete Swatch & SpiderMetrix

Bow – ένα πάρα πάρα πολύ ανοιχτό μπέζ. Βασικά είναι ένα χρώμα που είναι ΜΟΝΟ για κάτω απο το φρύδι, και τίποτα άλλo

E.l.f Blushes = Tickled Pink and Candid Coral
Here I am. I decided to make a blush swatch, I am not sure if I made the right decision though.
My camera is not the best, and the shades I chose are very light (I am not very good in applying blush, so I don’t buy darker shades, I am afraid to be a clown, actually).
So I decided to swatch my new – beautiful blushes – of Elf.
Candid Coral, a corl with gold shimmer blush, also known as a good dupe of Nars Orgasm and Tickled Pink, a very very fresh and beautiful pink.
So here they are…
Left is Candid Coral, right is Tickled Pink (beautiful, aren’t they)
.
I had a really hard time to swatch them in my arm, so this is the best I could do
Candid Coral is the one in the top, and tickled pink the one in the bottom
And now, show time…
I don’t think you have seen my fugly face yet, so here I am . Yes, I am wearing my PJs, yes, with no other make up one, yes, my brows are not fulle plucked (I m trying to make them ticker actually) and yes, with jungle hair. So please be polite.
(Left ones are Tickled Pink,left ones are tickled Pink, or easiest method, when you see my ear ring, then its tickled pink)
Bathroom photos
And here is with sun light, but in my room
Bottomline, I love them. Its what I need. I don’t like very strong colors, I can’t work with them. Also with my skin tone, any strong color will appear so fake, and I prefer natural blushing. And to be honest, the photos doesn’t show how pigmented they really are. Coz they are way more than what you see here
What do you think?
Lots of love beauties.

E.l.f Super glossy lip shine (spf 15) – Malt Shake – Swatch
♥
Here I am , lately posting more often than before and I hope I ll keep it up this way.. 🙂
Not long ago, actually, only a couple of days, I got my first order from Elf.
I decided to swatch some products, and I ll start with the ”Malt Shake” lipgloss.
I will also swatch some face products, don’t worry, I am not hiding my face, its just that I am not that good with make up stuff.
Anyway….
I wasn’t intending of bying it, since I have lots of similar stuff. But then, I googled ”Top Elf products” and this particular shade and product came up with many personal lists, so , I gave it a try.
When you first see the tube, looks something like brown or transparent choco-something color.
I was kinda dissapointed on that, but I gave it a try anyway.
Wrong me! The lipgloss, of course, gives what promises, the lipshine. The ”Malt Shake” tone, is a very natural, ”how my lips should be” color. Like very natural.
I don’t have very pigmented lips, so it really gives me a beautiful color!
This is my bare – chapped – lips / half applied / fully applied
There is huge difference, yet, the color is natural to the lips.
I think what also makes it so popular is that it compliments every skin tone and lips. Its just give more color to less pigmented lips.
About the product itself, It has a good staying power, nice neutral smell, has SPF 15, easy-to-use tube, but the only negative is that it is sticky, something that I dislike.
But then again, it has some many positives, that the stickiness itself can’t stop me for have it on my bag everyday 🙂
Love it !!!
Many kissez girlz
Love
