Violet Voss Ride or Die Palette - Photos-Review-Swatches

Here she is! I wanted this since I saw it on Instagram a long time ago!



I bought it on Cultbeauty (https://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/) and I also found a code so I paid 15% off her original price which is 72£. 
I'm a fan of Violet Voss palettes, I have the famous Holy Grail and the Laura Lee one and I love them both...This is no different from them.
PRO:
-HIGH QUALITY
-AMAZING PIGMENTATION
-NO FALL OUT
-GREAT RANGE OF COLORS
-COLLECTORS ITEM
CONS:
-BIG Packaging 
-SIMILAR Shades to the other Violet Voss palettes 


Some of my favorite shades are Destiny which is a perfect champagne with a hint of pink - Amy which is a raspberry deep red shade - Stephanie which is a copper foiled shadow, they look like Makeupgeek's foiled eyeshadows.

I hope this review helps If you are thinking about buying it, I highly recommend it.

Haul: MAC Heavenly Creatures Collection - Swatches

SAME ARTICLE IN ENGLISH CLICK DOWN BELOW:


Ciao a tutti, scusate l'assenza! La scorsa settimana è uscita la nuova collezione di Mac la Heavenly Creatures, ed ho comprato qualcosina...lo ammetto collezione Mineralize Skinfinish! Ho già provato i prodotti e non mi hanno delusa.

Vi metto le foto con gli swatches:


La prima da sinistra è la Mineralize Skinfinish in Star Wonder, un bellissimo rosa corallo con venature viola e oro.
A destra invece potete vedere il blush minerale in Ring of Saturn, un pesca con venature borgogna che diventa un bellissimo ramato se mischiate i due colori.

Da sinistra MSF in Star Wonder, a destra Blush minerale Ring of Saturn.

Mi aspettavo di comprare di più di questa collezione, ma di colori per pelli molto chiare come la mia ce n'erano pochi.

Alla prossima :)

Chanel Fall 2011: Nail Polish in Peridot

Salve ragazzi, la scorsa settimana ho finalmente messo le mani su uno smalto che desideravo da tanto tanto tempo, lo Chanel Peridot. So che spendere più di 20 euro per uno smalto è da pazzi, ma ho pensato che il colore fosse unico e ho dovuto prenderlo. Il Peridot è uno smalto duochrome, a seconda della luce può sembrare oro o verde. Ha un finish metallico ed è molto luminoso, inoltre dura tantissimo su di me, quasi una settimana; cosa da non credere perché mi mangio le unghie ogni volta che posso.


I pro:
- Il colore stupendo
-La durata (fino a 7 giorni con un top coat)

I contro:
- Il prezzo

Hello guys! Last week I bought a gorgeous nail polish I've been wanting since I saw the ad: Chanel in Peridot. This is the first time I spend 20 euros on a nail polish and I know it's crazy, but I honestly thought this color was so unique and I had to get it.
It is a green based gold, It kinda has a duochrome effect, It can look either gold or green. It's metallic and so shiny, It lasts almost a week, which is a record for me cause I bite my nail everytime I get the chance.

Pros:
- Beautiful color
- Lasting power

Cons:
- Price

Rating: 9/10

Love you guys!

Mac Cosmetics: Semi Precious Collection Haul + Swatches




Hello guys! So yesterday I went to Mac to pick up the items I wanted from the new Semi Precious Collection. I have to say, this is one of the best collection ever made by Mac. It has all mineralize products: eyeshadows, MSF, blushes and of course lip products.

I picked up some of the stuff I thought were the best:

- Mineralize Skinfinish in Rose Quartz (It is a pretty coral color with gold, mauve and copper center. The coral side it is extremely light, but pigmented, the middle part it's a beautiful highlighter). 28€

- Mineralize Blush in Pressed Amber (this one doesn't look so good in person, but when you swatch it you can see that it's not so brown, but it's actually a beautiful browny pink, perfect as a bronzer for light light skin like mine). 24€

- Mineralize Eyeshadow in Golden Gaze (a black based gold, gorgeous and crazy pigmented, it doesn't have a lot of glitter, which is amazing and it has almost no fallouts). 22€

- Mineralize Eyeshadow in Blue Sheen (my favourite thing I got. I tried it on today and it is amazing, the most beautiful blue I've ever seen. It is black based too, but it has some peach vening and the color that comes out it is a gorgeous blue with metallic sheen). 22€

- Mineralize Eyeshadow in Smoked Ruby (red and copper color, black based too. Crazy pigmented and it has a metallic finish). 22€

- Lipstick in Musky Amethyst (you have no idea how pretty this color looks. It's kinda crazy when you see it and scary for the nude lips lovers, but it is a burgundy red with red sparkles, although you can't really see the sparkles on your lips, which I like even better. It has a frost finish, but it looks like a creamsheen). 18€

This was everything I got, I hope you liked it.

Wishlist: Mac Creme Cup lipstick



Hello girls! Today I wanted to talk to you about a lipstick that has been on my wishlist forever; Mac's Creme Cup.
It is a beautiful baby pink, it is light but on my lips looks quite dark because I have pigmented lips. It is a creamsheen, so it's not too opaque and it has a glossy finish, you don't need a lipgloss over it. I think it's a color you can wear everyday and in every occasion. Last time I went to Mac, I tried it on my lips but I don't know why I didn't buy it, maybe because it's an easily dupable color.

Price: 17.50 € in Europe.

Let me know if you have and how it is!

Hello guys! An Inglot counter recently opened in my city and I couldn't miss it! I've known about Inglot for a long time, but even if it's a polish brand, here in Europe doesn't have much stores, at least in Italy. I wanted to try their stuff for the longest time, since they compare to Mac products, and I finally had the chance.

- Matte 325: a dark plummy purple, matte finish.
- Matte 334: light purple with blue undertones, matte finish.
- Matte 388: purple/blue, matte finish.
- Pearl 429: Light purply blue with pearly finish.

Bottom Row from left to right:

Make Up For Ever: New Aqua Liner n°5 Liquid Eyeliner


YOU CAN BUY THIS ON AMAZON, CLICK ON THE NAME:

Hey guys! A while ago I bought this new liquid eyeliner from the Make Up For Ever new line, It's called Aqua Liner in n°5. It is a beautiful bright light blue, with a hint of turquoise in it. It is extremely pigmented, infact you only need one layer of it, but it has a negative side; it is so waterproof that it stains your lid, ever if you apply it over an eyeshadow. It is so hard to get it off! I bet that if you don't wash your face for two days, it would still be bright.
It's pricey, about 20€ here in Europe, but the color is so unique, I've never seen something similar to it.
Pro:
- Longasting (almost too much)
- Beautiful color
- Pigmented

Cons:
- Pricey
- Hard to get off
- It stains

Rate: 4/5

Hope you liked it.

E.l.f: Studio Conditioning Lip Balm Spf 15 in Mellow Melon


Hello guys! Almost two weeks ago I made an order on E.l.f (I posted the haul this morning but I was late) and I've been trying everything I got. I wanted to talk about their new lip balms, I have three of them (Mellow Melon, Peaceful Pink and Nice & Natural) and so far I really like these balms.



Mellow Melon is a corally peachy color, it has a good pigmentation and it moisturizes your lips pretty well. You can use it alone or layer it over a dry lipstick (like the ones from the E.l.f 1 dollar line). The only downside is that you have to stick your finger in it to apply it or you need a portable lip brush.

Price: 4€ in Eu.

Sleek: Blush in Rose Gold - Review & Swatches


Hello guys! Tonight I wanted to talk to you about one of my favourite blushes of all time. I won this Sleek blush thanks to one of their facebook contest, but this is my honest opinion. It's one of the most beautiful blushes I've ever tried;

the shade is in Rose Gold, it is a shimmer blush and it's a pink-peachy color with golden shimmer in it. It gives the skin a beautiful glow and it has an incredible pigmentation; it also goes on smoothly and creamy.

I think it's perfect for all skin color. I have very fair skin, so I have to be careful (too pigmentation) and I believe it would work on darker skintones too.

Price: 6€ in Eu.
Rate: 5/5

I hope you enjoyed.

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.

Best Lips Pairing: E.l.f Lipstick in Classy - E.l.f Mineral Lipgloss in Pageant Princess


Hello guys! Today I want to start a new series of posts regarding best products pairing. Lately I've been loving this lip combination: E.l.f Lipstick in Classy with E.l.f Mineral Lipgloss in Pageant Princess on top.I love E.l.f , it is inexpensive brand, available in all countries through their websites.
The new 1 dollar lipstick are awesome, especially this one in the color Classy, which is a medium pink with an opaque finish. It is a bit drying if don't apply a lipgloss on top, so I paired it with another E.l.f products, the mineral lipgloss in Pageant Princess, which is a light pink with gold shimmer. It's not too sheer and I really like it because it isn't sticky at all.

Here's a photo of my lips wearing these two products together:


I hope you liked it!

Catrice Infinite Matt up to 18 h Foundation n° 010 Light Beige



I bought this foundation two weeks ago and I was so excited to try it, because you don't often see drugstore matte foundation, but I must say I'm not impressed by it. It's kinda heavy for the amount of coverage it gives and It looks shiny after a couple of hours, even with a matte powder on top.

The only thing I really like is the smell, it has a flower scent. It blends easily but the color is too neutral, it looks almost ghostly, especially in photos even if it doesn’t have spf in it.

Have you tried it?

Price: 6.49€ for 30ml.

Catrice Matt Mousse Foundation n°010 Light Beige: Swatches and Review



Hello guys! I'm here today to let you know what I think about the Catrice Matt Mousse Foundation that I've been using for the past two weeks. My colour is n° 010 Light Beige.
I like this product, I'm not in love with it though. It is a mousse and the first time I've used it, I applied it with a flat buki brush and it looked pretty heavy and cakey on my skin; so I tried a duo fibre brush and It looks very natural with that. The color seems dark but once you blend it out it looks like the color of your skin (I think it reacts with the warmth of your skin). It is smooth and It lasts quite a bit for a mousse (up to 5 hours with no touch ups with powder). The coverage is good but I don’t usually have breakouts or particular redness and spots. The thing I like the most about this foundation is that it’s so quick to apply, when you are in a hurry is so perfect, it blends effortlessly.

Price: 4.99€ for 16g.

Mac Cosmetics: Quite Cute Collection Haul - Lipsticks and Blush Swatches



Hello guys! Yesterday I went to Mac and I bought some products from the Quite Cute Collection. I was very excited about it, because it's a very cool toned collection and I have a pink undertone, so it's perfect for me. I bought all the lipsticks because the colors are just amazing and so pigmented. The blushes were ok, at first I wanted them all, but when I swatched them in the store, one wasn't pigmented at all, It didn't show up on my fair fair skintone (Miss Behave) and the other one (Giggly) was a copy of another limited edition mineralize blush I have (Hang Loose from the In the Groove collection), so I didn't pick them up, I got just Sakura.

Here's what I got:
- Quite Cute Lipstick: Pale lavander Creamsheen finish 17.50€ in EU.
- Candy Yum Yum Lipstick: Bright Neon Fuschia Matte Finish (this is my favourite! It's crazy pigmented and bright) 17.50€
- Playing Koi Lipstick: Pale Peachy Pink Satin Finish 17.50€
- Play Time Lipstick: Mid tone Violet Creamsheen Finish (lighter than the Style Curve from the Stylishly Yours Collection, less fuschia more purple) 17.50€
- Sakura Mineralize Blush: (light lavander with a burgandy fuschia heart) 23€.

I hope you liked the haul and the swatches.

See you soon
