My mini lipstick collection


I’m sending you big hello from my home isolation! Hope that you are healthy and staying positive during this difficult and strange time. Now there’s no excuses left for me for not to write, so I decided to have some fun and opened my makeup drawer. I’m presenting you my mini lipstick collection.
As you can tell by this post, I’m not really a lipstick person. Lipstick is usually a weekend thing for me. Just to quickly put some colour on my lips and go. I also strongly believe that majority of lip colours don’t suit me. I mean a red is big no for me, so I’m leaning mostly on the nude and pink side. And yes, during my ¨photo session¨ I realized that my lipsticks are all so similar it was so hard to figure out which shade I’m presenting on which… I might try something new when this chaos gets over.

So I own 5 lipsticks, these are all shades that I’m comfortable with and I wear them regularly. I got rid of everything I didn’t like.


Let’s start with Urban Decay. I have their three Vice lipstick in three different finishes:


Backtalk – comfort mate. It is very popular shade, I’m sure that I found it through Instagram. It is subtle, mauve nude, comfortable to wear and quite long lasting.


Peyote – metallized finish. This one stands out from my bunch. I like it, because it is shiny and somehow brightens up my face. It reminds me on the 90s dance club scene somehow, but in subtle way. I would describe it as metallic rose gold, with emphasis on gold. The shimmery part will stay with you for a long time J


Ex girlfriend – sheer shimmer. This is totally my lips but better with very nice sheen. I love it, it is so easy to wear and I would say that it is my favourite. It is another nude-rosy colour and would be flattering for many skin tones.



The next one is from Bourjois Rouge fabuleaux in the shade 02 A l’eau de rose – this is brighter matte rose shade. I find this formula to be strange. When you’re applying it, it feels like you’re putting on melted lip product. It is very creamy and soft. It is nice to wear and it stays on for quite some time.




The last one is from Bobbi Brown Crushed lip colour in shade Lilac – this formula is a dream. Also the price of this lipstick can confirm my statement J It is buttery and looks beautiful! In person this is deeper mauve shade with cool undertones and semi shiny finish, but you can’t really see that on my picture. It is not very long lasting, but I enjoy wearing it.


 From up to down: Ex-girlfriend, Peyote, Backtalk, A l'eau de rose, Lilac

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...
