Shiny diamonds - Color lip shine by Artdeco

 Is not the most ideal time for wearing lip products because we need to wear face masks very often, but anyway. Lipsticks have some kind of iconic position in our makeup bags and we are not ready to ˝skip them˝, not even during the pandemic.

My long-term favorites from so called higher drugstore are color lip shine lipsticks from Artdeco. They are some kind of hybrid between lipstick and gloss and have been around for quite a few years now. Their formula is super comfortable, non-sticky, very shiny, and long-lasting. You can apply them as sheer pop of color or upgrade to a bolder shade. For my taste, they are ideal, I just wish there were more shades available in our country.


Shiny diamonds (85) - was originally released last summer as a limited edition shade, and you can purchase it online, I am not sure if it is still available in drugstores.


On my lips, it shows up as sheer, cool pink with purple glitter, but from the packaging looks like it has quite a strong coral base and also gold glitter. When I was looking at it at the drugstore, I was convinced that I buying myself a shiny new glitzy coral for the summer, but I was wrong. There were no testers available due to safety regulations. Anyway, I still like it, the shade is fun and playful.



After a color wears off, you’re left with the glittery part for quite some time and that doesn’t transfer all around, which is great. It is not very subtle, but also not too bold either. I love how it brightens up my look but it is my free time lipstick for sure. I would not be comfortable wearing this for work.

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...
