Artdeco mat lip powder in ˝Spring day nr. 20˝

They came out last Monday and were on my big disappointment sold out till' Thursday. Restocked on Friday, so I managed to buy one on Saturday – I’m talking about new mat cushion powder lipsticks from Artdeco. I never thought they will become so desirable between costumers in a small town like mine. Maybe they put just some products on display for starter. Anyway I got my ˝copy˝ and I’m super happy with it.



Powder cushion lipsticks are not entirely new products, just newer for our market. We didn’t get the L’oreal ones which are quite similar, but we do have a cheaper, some kind of gloss version from Catrice. They don’t work on the same way, but do have cushion applicator. It took me quite some time to decide if I really want to try these or not, because they are expensive for a drugstore item, the cost around 13€. Artdeco is anyway in some middle price range, but their quality is mostly really good.



My new ˝Spring day˝ lipstick is from their newest spring collection called Hypnotic blossom (that so reminds me on Dior). Powder lipsticks are available in 6 shades, mine is the most natural looking one. It is truly my lips but better, orange nude,  strictly mat color. Very appropriate for work and quite long lasting. I was afraid that this powder will feel super dry and uncomfortable, but it is not. I mean I feel it on my lips, but it’s not bothering me. It also contains oils for some hydration. I haven’t detached any smell, just very mild, typical makeup/powder taste. It’s a strange feeling, which I’m not used to, somehow powdery and silky at the same time. I really like it and you can’t overdue with this color. Spring day looks very natural.




It is interesting that the product itself is in a cap and not in the holder. I truly don’t have experiences with this cushions stuff. I somehow thought that the color comes from the applicator like with glosses. I’m not sure how will this behave in summer. Can mostly powder contained product also melt in the car? Probably somehow it can, but harder than standard lipstick I believe. Application is fun, comfortable, fast and even. You can’t swipe it around for good results, just tap on the lips. Color is buildable and also supposed to be appropriate for ombre effect if you’re into that.


Oh and my next cushion wish? Over praised Juicy shaker from Lancome, but I’m not sure just yet.

Wishes

  It is time for another wish list or as I like to say it – things that recently caught my attention. Honestly, this is just a small fraction, but I’m too embarrassed to everything out there. The center of the list represents a linen lounge shirt from Intimissimi . I bought one last year and I am super pleased with it. It keeps me cool during these crazy tropical nights and feels very comfortable. I also very much enjoy their silk shirts, but the buttons are simply too annoying sometimes … Now, let’s go up and right to Dior. Another blush? Yes, please! Dior yet again reformulated their famous Backstage Rosy Glow blushes and added some new shades. I always desperately wanted to buy the lavender one, but it was not available in our country. But now something completely different caught my attention – muted, peachy, beige shade – Toffee . I swatched it already and it is pretty, but packed with gold glitter, so I need to try it again to be fully convinced. Smooth&Glow...

Dior Forever Glow Maximizer - Peachy

Apparently this year I have been obsessed with highlighters and blushes because it is time to review another one – Forever Glow Maximizer by Dior in the shade PEACHY. If the Star Glow Filter is very subtle, this is not. It is not tacky and can be beautifully blended, but it’s a real highlighter that serves its purpose. Peachy – light, golden peach with gold and pink shimmer. On my light skin tone, I often wear this as a blush, because I think it works better on me like this. It gives that slight amount of warmth to my face and a subtle golden sheen. It can be built up, but it can also look too much. Now when I’m getting a bit darker I love to put it on top of my bronzer or/and use it as an eyeshadow to achieve a light monochromatic summer look.  Indoor light Sunlight This is a great and versatile product, but I still prefer powder versions of Dior highlighters, they are just easier to work with and blend more effortlessly. I think that with liquid highlighters you always need to be...
