Lancome L'absolu lip Lacquer: 274

Lancome L'absolu lip Lacquer: 274 - beige sensation

This liquid lipstick was highly recommended to her followers by one of my favorite YouTubers – Jessica Brown. I love her and I trust her, so I had to try it. I picked my Lancome L'absolu lip Lacquer in shade no. 274 – beige sensation. I would describe it as medium orange-brown, it somehow reminds me of a trend that was super popular in the 90s. It was initially bought to be worn at the wedding and it also matches my dress perfectly, but that never happened…

Let’s start with positive things. The shade is gorgeous and super shiny, it will be great for summer and fall. It is comfortable to wear and very long-lasting. Once dried it gets almost sealed to your lips. What surprised me is that also the shiny coat stays on for a long time and the stain remains for ages. I think it is great for wearing under a mask, it transfers very little – but that might change during summer, I don’t know yet. If lightly applied, the shade can be quite subtle, but you can build it up without problems.

Negative part – this product has an awful chemical taste and it even burns for a few seconds after application. Everything eventually disappears, but still, it bothers me. And we are talking about relatively expensive lipstick from a popular brand that definitely can’t justify this.

I will not buy other shades, because I dislike the taste so much. I still think this is an amazing product, but sadly with a mistake. If you can pass its flaw, just go for it. Maybe not all of them taste the same, or maybe I even got a bad product.

Yet another expensive list

Welcome to May! A brand new fresh month also means a great excuse to make yet another wish list of things that recently caught my attention. And this is also my birthday month, so I can splurge a bit more. No? Let’s start with something puffy and blue- Pinko Quilted Nappa leather flat bag . This looks fancier than your usual everyday bag but can be totally worn on many occasions, even if you just go grocery shopping. Why not? Dark blue is gorgeous, very fashionable, and would pair nicely with a plain T-shirt and jeans or your favorite spring dress. Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Lumiere eye and cheek palette – it is that time of the year again and Estee Lauder is out with another Bronze Goddess collection. This palette surprised me because it is not that warm and bronzy. I love that they also included cool-toned shades and that way it is more versatile. I don’t like the ˝cheek˝ part in the middle, I think it is not practical- I mean how can you reach it with a face brush? Anywa...

Lego: Bouquet of Roses - Botanical Collection

It was Sunday after lunch and I enthusiastically concluded that it was the right time to open my new set of Legos. The box waited for me for three weeks now and I was ready. Because when you are an adult, and you know exactly how much you paid for your Lego set, you want the timing for your ˝play˝ to be just perfect. Bouquet of Roses was released was released in February, just in time for Valentine’s Day. It captured my attention immediately. I always look at Legos also from that practical site of aesthetics. Does this look good? Is it something I can keep on my shelf as decoration? Will it only look like clutter? You get the point. So yes, these roses looked lovely and I bought them for myself. This set includes 822 pieces, arranged into 6 packs. The whole building ¨process¨ is divided into three parts. At the end you'll get 12 Roses (3 different types) and 4 branches of Baby's Breath. I believe it took me three hours of slow building and just chilling with some old music i...

Relaxation before sleep – watching beauty YouTube channels

(taken from: Tati Westbrook Instagram) Glam Life Guru - Tati Westbrook Tati from L.A. is my favorite ˝YouTuber˝. Her channel was first which I subscribed to and watched regularly. I found it by coincidence, when I was searching for… you know something. She posts videos every work day, so she is very involved in this YouTube thing, I would say it’s her primary occupation. She recently launched her makeup line, she collaborates with Amazon and some magazines. I believe her reviews are honest, although things are often sent or given to her. Her descriptions, tests, comparisons and swatches of products are very good. Her videos look very professional. They are also very versatile, from testing the most ridiculously expensive products to the cheapest ones. She mostly filmes in her (new) beauty room, once a week she’s testing how new makeup items perform during running errands. And those kinds of videos I like to watch the most. Recently her fia...
