Petrichor Beauty - reviews, style and overthinking

Hello there and happy Sunday! A few weeks ago I just had the urge to do some online makeup shopping (it happens). You know how can that turn out, right? You think something looks superb, you do your research and check all available pictures of swatches, but end up with an average-looking expensive product. Ok, let’s go to the point! I am very happy with my purchases and one of them is on today, to be presented. Clinique Cheek Pop Pearl  – is a new version of their, Cheek Pop blushes. This is a blush and a highlighter in one product. It is available in 5 shades, I got the lightest – Opal Pop. Opal Pop  is a warm-toned peachy-nude blush with a pearl finish. It contains quite visible gold shimmer, but it’s done in a good and flattering way. It is lightly pigmented, but buildable. I would recommend using a denser brush, to get more color payoff. I love it because it is subtle and it is hard to overdo it. It is very flattering on my light complexion. It blends out nicely and leaves...

I remember a few years ago when eye palettes from  Sleek  were a must. They were on every beauty blog and I was drooling over them and admiring their versatility. In our country Sleek was available only online, influencers loved to stock up while traveling to London and made us all a bit jealous... ok, that was back then. Now we have almost forgotten Sleek in our stores and it’s not my primal choice of makeup when I go exploring. Their products are very visually appealing, but by my humble experience, filled with glitter and I think I’m just too old for that.  Long story short. A few weeks ago when I was trying to cheer myself up from all those bad Corona virus related news in a local drugstore, I noticed something new and very pleasant – new blushes from Sleek. I used to own one and loved it, so I was excited to check them out. I picked  Keep it 100  which is a lovely darker mat pink color, perfect for autumn. There were no testers available and the light in th...

Recently I've been obsessed with finding my new, soft shade of blush, which would scream for spring, although we are still in the middle of winter. I wanted something soft and doll like for my paler cheeks. My big wish is to own a true lavender blush, but I’m afraid it would turn blue-ish on my cheeks. I thought about ˝Full of joy˝ from MAC, but it’s only available as refill and I don’t like that. Makeup needs nice packaging! Nice lavender also comes from Tonymoly in shade ˝Milky pink˝, but waiting for an Ebay order can sometimes be endless. Also I was skeptical about ingredients. Another beauty was Duo of emotions Prism blush in shade ˝Tender˝ from Givenchy with crazy price tag.  The other day I went to Zagreb and passed by Illamasqua counter. Firstly I was surprised that this brand is sold there, because they eliminated it from most drugstores. Secondly I noticed how beautiful blushes they have. I immediately recognized ˝Katie˝. I know for this blush for a long time, but...
