NYX Matte Lipstick in Natural


Hi there my gorgeous readers :) This post is about a lipstick I got in a swap. It is NYX matte lipstick in Natural. The formula is great. It is very creamy and the color payoff is great. I love it and I think I want to try other colors :D I like how the color of the lipstick appears from the transparent part of the tube. 

If you know me well, you probably know that I have an addiction for lipsticks which started maybe 12 years ago or so and this lipstick is right up my alley :) Enjoy the pictures...

Revlon Lip Butters in Creme Brulee and Creamsicle

I am so excited to show these babies today :) I finally got my hands on a couple of Revlon Lip butters. The colors are Creme Brulee and Creamsicle. After I saw so many reviews about them, I could finally get a couple of these in a swap. I chose the light colors for everyday wear and I really like them :)

 Creme Brulee is a nude color. I was actually surprised by the color payoff. I thought the darker colors will be pigmented not the lighter ones but this is just like a nude lipstick except that the formula is so creamy and soft.



Creamsicle is a light peachy color. This one is also pigmented for a light lip butter and they all have the same moisturizing formula.



Side by side for comparison and a swatch.


What do you think? Did you try any of the Revlon Lip Butters?

My Nails Today: Maybelline Sunlight

Today I am trying this Maybelline limited edition shade: Sunlight. It is a beautiful pearly light yellow with kind of a purple/grey lowlight effect. I love it. The application was nice although I needed three coats to get it opaque. I found it in Superstore along with a bunch of other discontinued shades... I think I like this color on my skin tone. Do you like it?




See you soon ;)

Maybelline Eyestudio Eyeliners


Hi there, I wanted to share my love for these cream eyeliners with you today. They are fantastic :D The colors are so rich and the formula is so creamy with a strong long lasting power. I must say, I like these much better than the ELF cream eyeliners. They also don't dry out so quickly like the ELF ones. 

The brush which comes with them is amazing too. It's a regular eyeliner brush not an angled one but it is just perfect and makes the application so easy. Enjoy the pictures :)

New posting plan :)

Hi there my lovely readers,

Today's post is different. I haven't written any new posts for a while since we were so busy at home. Some of you know that I moved into a new appartment three months ago. But ever since that time, I have been living in a mess. We try to unpack and arrange every week but it seems like it's a never ending task. Finally, last weekend we bought a dinning table and chairs and I think this weekend we will get the rest of the shelves mounted on the walls to empty the floor for the dining room :)

Anyway, I accumulated some new makeup and nail polish items for the past months. Some of them I bought new but most of them are from MakeupAlley swaps and a giveaway which a lovely MakeupAlley member arranged. I gathered all of these items in a box but I still have a few swap packages coming on their way which will be added to the box too. I thought it would be fun to challenge myself to try them all and post the pictures :)

So, starting 1st of January, I will try to do the following and you are welcome to join me and do the same. I will do 2 posts every week. One post with the name of the product used, one or two pictures, plus a 5 star rating from my own point of view. These will be short posts and the focus will be on the picture(s). The other post will be a new Franken with pictures. Until then, I will have some posts and I will be in the process of creating a light box which I hope will make the pictures look more beautiful and professional :)

I hope you like these posts and I'll be waiting for your feedback ;)
Cheers,
