PUPA Milano: Vamp! Volume mascara 400 Amethyst violet

Do you remember when colored mascaras were in? I believe it was somewhere in the early 2000s, Maybelline had a whole palette of Great lash mascaras and according to Google, they were quite intensely pigmented.

I also remember images of princes Diana and her blue mascara in the 80s, but that was another era.

I am not a giant mascara lover, because I have sensitive eyes, but I wanted to try something new and different and Vamp volume mascara from PUPA had my attention immediately.


My selection was, at first sight very vibrant violet shade. This one seemed to look the most ˝natural˝. Well, I like green as well, but green lashes? Not that much. And there was also a blue option.


Of course, I was skeptical about it. Can this be even worn outside a nightclub? And where may I ask can I go dancing during this endless pandemic?



The violet shade is very subtle and discreet, you can slightly build it up by applying more coats, but I don’t like that. The formula is ok, nothing groundbreaking. It was holding up well during the day, without smudging, not even after a moderate workout. It gives some volume and length, but there are so much better and cheaper options. This mascara is very expensive for what it does, it costs around 16€.

It hardly shows up in my pictures, I wore one heavy coat of mascara.

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...
