Essence: Silky Touch Blush in Adorable


Hello guys! So a while ago I bought the Essence Silky Touch Blush in the shade Adorable. It is a really natural pink shade for everyday use, I would use it mostly for work or school or if you have a really heavy eyelook. It's a buildable color, it's smooth and it blends easily. I really love these Essence Blushes, I have almost every shades.

This is the swatch on the cheek:

Price: I think 3.49€ but I don't remember the exact price.
Rate: 4.5/5

See you soon.

Love.

Kiko Makeup Haul: Kaleidoscopic Collection



Salve ragazzi! Oggi sono stata a fare shopping da Kiko ed ho trovato la nuova collezione Kaleidoscopic. Lo stand era in continuo rifornimento perché stavano vendendo tutto...e ci credo perché i prodotti sono fantastici. La selezione dei colori è stupenda e, ad occhio, tutti i prodotti sembrano essere molto buoni.

Ho acquistato un pò di cosine, peccato per il lip stain che avevo preso ma alla cassa non me l'hanno messo in conto e non si sa dove sia finito perchè nel mio cestino c'era. Comunque bando alle ciance, vi posto le foto dell'haul e poi appena proverò i prodotti vi posterò la review.

- Water Eyeshadow n°11 Grey Wood
- Water Eyeshadow n°10 Light Taupe
- Water Blush n°3 Pretty Pink
- Long Lasting Eyeshadow Stick n°22 Silver Wisteria e n° 25 Light Taupe
- Nail Polish n°291 (non è della collezione).

Questo è tutto quel che ho preso. Ci vediamo al prossimo articolo con la review e gli swatches.

Revlon Matte Powder Blush in Blushing Berry - Review and Swatches



Hello guys! This Revlon Matte blush in Blushing Berry was a gift from a friend, I was so happy about it because I love matte blushes. Revlon is a great brand, but unfortunately here in Italy is expensive almost like Mac products. I also have an eyeshadow quad and a matte lipstick from them.

This blush is gorgeous, it is very pigmented and blends so well. You can build up the color intensity from a sheer natural looking color, to a pinky mauve bright shade. I defenitely recommend it if you are looking for a matte silky smooth blush.

Rate: 4.5/5
Price: I don't know because it was a gift, but in Italy it's pretty expensive.

Love.

I love these shades, I have another blush part of this line and 4 lipsticks. They are very cheap and absolutely great value.

Mac Cosmetics Undercurrent Eyeliner Dupe by E.L.F Cosmetics



Hello guys! Today I was going through my makeup stash and I found two eyeliner that looked exactly the same. Last Christmas Mac came out with this really popular eyeliner, which was sold out pretty fast called Undercurrent. It's a really pretty teal green with microglitters in it; it goes on smoothly and it's long lasting.
I found a pretty similar eyeliner dupe for it, and it's from E.L.F Cosmetics called Twinkle Teal. The amazing thing is that it costs $1 in the US and the Mac one costs $14.50!

The only difference I could find between the two is that the E.l.f one smudges easily, but if you put a primer underneath, you won't have a problem.

I hope that was helpful.

Love.

Saldi Kiko: Siberian Flowers Bling Blush e Urban Look Eyeliner

Salve ragazze, visto che io sono italiana e spesso compro del makeup di brand italiani, ho deciso di fare dei post review su di essi. Alcuni giorni fa, ho acquistato vari prodotti in saldo da Kiko Makeup Milano. La linea Siberian Flowers, uscita questo autunno inverno, era in offerta al 50% di sconto ed ovviamente ne ho prontamente approfittato.
Ho acquistato due Bling Blush e un eyeliner molto particolari...eccovi le foto:


- 02 Bling Blush nel colore Celebrity Rose: è un rosa naturale con venature beige illuminanti. Si applica facilmente e non è così glitterato come sembra. Prezzo 7.50€
- 05 Bling Blush nel colore Chilled Pink: questo è un rosa acceso, molto Barbie :D, ma se lo applicate con mano leggera, risulta molto naturale anche questo. Prezzo 7.50€
- Urban Look eyeliner nel colore 03 Night Blue: è un bel viola/blu molto scuro. Dura moltissimo anche nella rima interna dell'occhio. Prezzo 4.50€ circa (non ricordo esattamente).

Di seguito potete vedere gli swatches sia con la luce naturale e con il flash.

Vi consiglio soprattutto i blush, sono veramente favolosi e molto simili al finish dei Mineralize Skin Finish di MAC (solo che costano un terzo!). Il packaging poi è grazioso e di buona qualità.

Potete vedere nei punti vendita Kiko se c'è rimasto ancora qualcosa, intanto sul sito trovate il Chilled Pink: http://www.kikocosmetics.com/IT/Scheda/104/Bling-Blush.html


Spero vi piacciano i miei acquisti...ci sentiamo presto.

Essence: Lipstick 02 Sparkling Romance - Review and Swatches

Hello guys! Yestarday I bought this really pretty lipstick "02 Sparkling Romance" by Essence! It was a real bargain because it was on sale for 0.99€, usually it costs 2.49€ here in Europe. It is the old packaging, but who cares? When I first saw it, it looked to glittery and sparkling (like the name says), but due to the price, I decided to try it and I was pleasantly surprised because it's really pretty.
It is moisturizing, creamy and the glitters aren't chunky at all. It lasts quite a bit without losing its shine, so I highly recommend this product. I also have 3 other lipsticks from this line and I love them all.

Price: On sale for 0.99€, usually 2.49€ in EU.
Rate: 4/5

I hope that was helpful.

Love.

Mac Peacocky Collection Haul Part II: Kissable Lipcolour Woo Me - Scan-delicious - Flaunting it

Hello guys, this is the second part of my Mac Peacocky Collection Haul. I bought 3 of these new lipglosses, they are extremely different from the lipglasses and the dazzleglasses, they are crazy pigmented and they feel like lipsticks on your lips. Lipsticks in a lipgloss form. They aren't sticky at all, they have a shine to them but after a couple of hours of wearing they feel a little bit drying, so I recommed using a clear lipgloss on top of them.

Woo Me: Pretty pink based nude

Scan-delicious: Hot pink with a hint of red

Flaunting it: Dark mauve color


Rate: 4/5
Pluside: Not sticky, pigmented
Downside: a bit drying and pricey (19 € in Europe).

Mac Peacocky Collection Haul Part I: Dalliance - Unflappable - Tweet Me


Hello guys! Monday I went to Mac for the new Peacocky Collection and I bought a lot of stuff, because it is simply amazing! In this post I'm going to talk about the 3 eyeshadows I purchased:



- Dalliance: It is a Gold/Grey with cool undertones and what appears to be green reflects, so unique.
- Unflappable: It is a Dark Taupe color with purple undertones, kinda like a darker satin taupe but more purple.
- Tweet Me: It is a Peachy color with a gold sheen, similar to Melon pigment by Mac, but less metallic.


The formula of these eyeshadows is smooth and creamy. They blend really easy and they are pretty pigmented. My favourite is Dalliance because it brings such a pretty glow to your eyes that no other eyeshadow I've tried gave me.

Best Pairing:
Dalliance - I paired it with Copperplate (Grey Brown) and a dark taupe color, but I think it would be so pretty also with green eyeshadows.

Unflappable - I used Vex and Satin Taupe eyeshadow on my lid and Unflappable in the crease with Mylar as a browbone highlight.

Tweet Me - I paired it with Trax and Sketch eyeshadows they look so great together, then Nylon as highlight.

Rate: 4.5/5
Pluside: Creamy, Smooth, Easy to blend
Downside: Pricey (22 € in Europe)

See you soon with the lipglosses review.
