Petrichor Beauty - reviews, style and overthinking

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 the...

I usually don't like to make such kind of lists, because everybody does that and it's therefore less special, but this will be an exception. I haven't review all of these products yet, but I'll do that eventually, at least most of them. It was not so easy to pick the best items. At the same time I realized how many stuff I bought this year. But when you find something that is really good and you love it, it's justified. BURT'S BEES LIP BALM  Simple, natural, small compared to giant Eos and long lasting. MELVITA LAVENDER ROSE WATER Natural, multi purpose product with gorgeous and relaxing smell. OPI: SHOW US YOUR TIPS Beautiful blue color with glitters, a bit out of my comfort zone, but still office appropriate. THE BALM SEXY MAMA Great settling powder with hint of color. URBAN DECAY AFTERGLOW BLUSH IN BITTERSWEET Unique long lasting color. Something different from that typical doll cheeks. NYX BRIGHT IDEA ILL...

As I mentioned in my previous post that it was hard to find lavender highlighter, it was also a bit challenging to find true, cool toned violet blush. Maybe I’ve got specific taste for colors in makeup. I wanted a blush, that won’t transfer into pink on my cheeks, but would stay violet. Our local drugstores are such lonely places when you’re searching for something special, like I’m looking for ice cubes in a desert. Hopefully there might be soon some change on a horizon. Yes, violet blushes do exist in our country, but for hideous price. Something very beautiful I found between YSL products, but I’m not flying that high. Very good colors (more magenta, pink and mauve like) are also between Illamasqua blushes, but if I’m going to splurge on a blush, I’m looking for perfection. When I first saw ˝Bittersweet˝ online I thought that this is such a crazy, hard to wear color. It’s definitely not for a shy girl with pale cheeks and not for an everyday wear. Just take me to circus, ho...
