Mac Cosmetics: Surf Baby Haul: Gilded White Eyeliner - Swatches & Review

Hello guys!!! Two weeks ago I went to Mac to check out the new Surf Baby collection, but I wasn't so impressed with it. I really liked the Quite Cute one (I bought a lot of stuff), but this summer collection just isn't cool. The lipsticks were similar shades to the limited edition previous ones and the permanent collection has colors more beautiful than them. The eyeshadows were boring, except for a teal shade, but I hate eyeshadow in pot, I never reach for them and I don't like to depot them. The lipglasses were similar shades to the lipsticks. The blush was ok, but I can find at least 3 dupes for that color in the Mac permanent collection. The only thing that caught my attention was one of the two eyeliners. I bought the one in Gilded White; it is a beautiful white shade with gold sheen, it is the same color of Mac's Nylon eyeshadow, which I love. It's creamy and you can use it as an eyeshadow base, inner corner, browbone and on your waterline (but on the waterline it doesn't show up so pigmented, it's not a Kohl pencil).

Price: 16 € in Eu.
Rate: 4/5.

I hope it liked it.

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.

Price: on sale for 10 € (unbelievable)

Sephora Face Cream Hydrating balancing lotion: It's awesome, I tried it and with my oily skin it doesn't feel greasy at all, it's just perfect. It's a day and night cream for combination to oily skin.

Price: 9.50€

Sephora Liquid Eyeliner in Taupe: This was on sale and I understand why...It's bad! Today I wore it and it took me 5 coats to get the color on my eye. Too bad because it's a really pretty shade with multicolor glitter.

E.l.f Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil: Twinkle Teal - Swatches & Review

Hello guys! So a while ago I ordered some products from E.l.f and I tried everything. Today I wanted to review the shimmer eyeliner pencil in the color Twinkle Teal for you. It is a bright teal color with micro sparkles in it, it is creamy and soft, so it's good on your upper lashline. It lasted quite a bit, of course it's not like a Mac or a Urban Decay liner, but for the price (1 $ in the US and 1.70€ in Eu) it is a superb eyeliner. It is pretty pigmented as you can see in the photos, where I didn't have a primer underneath, only the twinkle teal and mascara.

Rate: 3.5/5

I have like 5 zero ones (black), 3 Brown (bourbon and whiskey), then I have Flipside (turquoise) and I recently bought the Jackpot set that comes with a mini size of a lot of colors.

My favourite one is definitely Whiskey, because you can wear it with any look and on the waterline, it looks just like the color of eyes!

Mac Cosmetics: Fabulous Felines Collection - SuperSlick Liquid Eyeliner in Signature Blue

If you saw my last post about the Smoky Heir eyeliner from Mac I can assure you that the Signature Blue is the exact same thing, just a different color.



Upside:
- It lasts all day! It doesn't fade or smudge.
- It's easy to use and very very precise
- The color is beautiful, it is a deep midnight electric blue with light blue micro glitter inside!
- The handle is awesome, it gives you a lot of control.

Downside: -If you want a rich rich color you have to layer it a couple of time.

In the pictures you can also see the look I created with it. That pic was taken after 6 hours I put it on and as you can see, It lasted pretty well!



The products I used for the look are:
- Nyx Eyeshadow base in Skintone
- Mac eyeshadow in Femme Fi on the lid
- Mac eyeshadow in Swiss Chocolate in the crease
- Mac eyeshadows in Vapour and Mylar on the browbone
- Kiko Ultra Tech Mascara
- Max Factor kohl eyeliner in Natural Glaze on the waterline

I hope this post was helpful.

See you soon
