my lipstick and lip gloss collection part 8/9 purples

(part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7)

lime crime unicorn lipstick "airborne unicorn"

absolutely love this lipstick's formula - its really pigmented and long lasting, but still feels moisturising and creamy on the lips. this cold tone purple needs a confident user. too bad of the lime crime scandal though, i dont think i will purchase from them anymore. (if you do, i really recommend ebay). price: ~16€


maybelline color sensational "906 hot plum"

affordable fuchsia toned purple. feels and looks creamy on the lips, but the lasting is also good. price: 9,60€


the body shop colour crush lipstic "240 damson in distress"

dark warm toned purple that needs a confident user. the formula is well pigmented and super moisturising, but that affects a bit to the lipstick's lasting. price: 13,90€

my lipstick and lip gloss collection part 7/9 dark pinks

(part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6)

the body shop colour crush shine lipstick "15 fuchsia flirt"

an easy everyday lipstick with sheer finish and super moisturising formula. price: 13,90€

the body shop colour crush "205 passionate pink"

the perfect bright hot pink color. the formula is moisturising and medium lasting. price: 13,90€

rimmel lasting finish lipstick "004 indulgence"

this shade seems not to be available anymore, at least i didn't find it in rimmel's website. it's nice more peachy toned bright pink.

maybelline color sensational "902 fuchsia flash"

purple toned pink. this lipstick has good price quality ratio. the formula is moisturising but lasts well too. price: 9,60€

mac matte lipstick "candy yum-yum"

super bright neon pink, lasts really well because of the matte formula. price: 20,50€

isadora moisturizing lip gloss "17 honeysuckle"

this lip gloss doesn't have a lot of pigment so i have used it few times on top of pink lipstick. it has quite sticky formula, so not really my favorites. price: 12,50€

dior addict fluid stick "575 wonderland"

in the picture the color looks a bit more red than it actually is.. i bought this lip gloss last year from tax free when i was going to holiday. i had such high expectations so i was little disappointed even there is nothing bad about the product. when you are buying expensive cosmetic you just expect them to be groundbreaking :D this lip gloss is super pigmented and juicy, it feels soft in the lips and it's not too sticky. if you want same qualities without breaking the bank i recommend maybelline color elixir lip gloss. price: 42€

my lipstick and lip gloss collection part 6/9 light pinks

(part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5)

when i started wearing lipsticks they use to always be pink - in total i have 14 pink lip products, so i decided to divide it in lighter and darker pinks. the irony is that nowadays i rather wear anything else than pink :D

(what is in top of that max factor lipstick???)

the body shop lip & cheek velvet stick "20 poppy pink"

it's not as crazy pink as the lipstick below, so this lip & cheek stick is in my weekly use. also the matte finish makes it look more modern - but the matte finish is also a minus, because if you have any dryness in the lips, it shows and the color doesn't apply evenly. price: 14,90€

maybelline color sensational vivids "900 pink pop"

this barbie pink color is definitely hard to pull off, it doesn't suit for everyone or with every make up look. i usually pair this lipstick with bold eyeliner to make the look more modern and less bimbo. price: 9,60€

rimmel colour show off lipstick "020 shake-up pink"

this lipstick used to be my absolute favorite, in 2012 it was probably the only lipstick that i wore. i like this kind of peachy undertoned color. i think rimmel has quit the colour show off lipstick range so unfortunately its not available anymore.

max factor colour elixir lipstick "625 magenta divine"

my least favorite lipstick from the pinks, i think it's because it has a little bit frost in it. definitely a miss purchase, i don't recall if i have even used this. price: 12,50€

the body shop colour crush lipstick "225 blushing pink"

a great pink lipstick for someone that isn't comfortable with bright colors, because this one is really near the actual lip colour. the formula is super moisturising, and the lipstick lasts okay, but not as good as some. price: 13,90€

sensai the lipstick "08 araishu"

my second favorite from the lighter pinks. the lipstick is super long lasting, but it also glides well to the lips when applying and feels moisturising. i would never use this much money on a lipstick, but i bought this from an outlet with few euro, because it was meant to be a tester. i think they don't make this shade anymore.
price: 50,50€

the body shop lip gloss "45 watermelon"

the body shop lip glosses are juicy and they smell amazing, but they don't have a lot of pigment. they don't feel too sticky on the lips, and they also have a lot of moisturising ingredients. i usually use this lip gloss on top of pink lipstick. price: 13,80€

my lipstick and lip gloss collection part 5/9 reds

(part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4)

lumene raspberry miracle shine lipstick "107 hot day"

easy everyday lipstick, when you want just a little bit of color. super moisturising formula and sheer pigment.

mac matte lipstick "lady danger"

in this picture the lipstick looks a bit too orange what it is, eventhough it is orange toned red.. lady danger is one of my favorite lipsticks, eventhough i would prefer that the formula would be other than matte. i recommend this if you are fan of bright reds.

rimmel lasting finish by kate lipstick "01"

this lipstick is more darker and browner toned red and that's why i like to wear it in the autumn/winter time. it lasts well on the lips, but it also feels moisturising and soft. i'm not sure if this lipstick is sold anymore in finland, at least it wasn't in the rimmel finland site.

maybelline color elixir "505 signature scarlet"

my absolutely favourite lip gloss! it has really great pigment without feeling sticky on the lips. only minus i would say is the fragrance, because its quite strong.

my lipstick and lip gloss collection part 3/9 corals

sorry there has been one week hiatus on the blog. i was enjoying one week holiday in lovely barcelona, and i had scheduled posts to appear when i was gone, but for some reason that hasn't worked! but now we will continue as usual :)

(part 1, part 2)

mac mineralize rich "be a lady"

be a lady is that kind of color that looks pink in another and orangy in another light, that's why i decided to put it in corals. mineralize rich lipsticks are really nice and easy lipsticks, because they glide easy to the lips, they are soft and moisturising, but also have more pigment than for example the cremesheen lipsticks. this lovely color suits for everyone and even its bright, i would describe it classy. price: 24,50€

maybelline color sensational vivids lipstick "910 shocking coral"

maybelline's shocking coral is also pinky kind of coral. the formula is moisturising, but also really well pigmented. i think i haven't wore this a lot, because i really don't have much to say.. price: 9,60€

l'óreal color riche lip colour"373 magnetic coral"

the magnetic coral is definitely more orangy coral. it is one of my first lipsticks, and i used to wear it all the time in the summer 2012. nowadays i have more coral/orange options, so this one has been stucked in the shelf.. i think one of the reasons is that it has a bit of glitter in it, so i'm not so keen of the finish (anymore). i would say this one has a bit drier formula than the maybelline's lipstick. price: 12,50€

isadora moisturizing lip gloss "14 coral glow"

as you can see, this lip gloss doesn't have much pigment. i'm not really a lip gloss person, because i don't like the stickiness, but if i would use this, i would apply it on top of coral/orange lipstick. (and now you wonder why i even own this product.. sometimes you get blinded by the sales :D) price: 12,50€

maybelline dream wonder nude foundation

got a sample while ago of maybelline's new dream wonder nude foundation. i don't think that i will be purchasing this, but i just wanted to make a swatch for you.

here's picture of me before and after. in the before i don't have anything else on my face than day cream.

in finland we have currently five shades and my sample was "sand 30", the second darkest color. originally dream wonder nude foundation has 12 shades, and i think this color might be in other countries "sandy beige 60".

the formula is really light and matte. i can't say that i would dislike this product, but i just don't personally like matte foundations. and i also want to have more coverage, since my skin is really uneven colored, because of the redness. i think this would make a great summer product though, because then you will want something light that keeps matte!

in finland the price is around 15,90€.

marilyn monroe inspired makeup tutorial

my first video that i ever made! definitely learnt a lot by doing it so next videos will be much better ;) i have always been a nervous public speaker but doing a beauty blog has been my secret dream for a while, so i'm really happy that i finally had the courage to start!

this look inspired by marilyn monroe is one of my favorites and i use it really often. in the video i show makeup suitable for every day use - if you are going to a costume party you might want to do it more dramatic. do the eyes with more contrast and add the beauty mark on top of your lip.
