Alverde Lust auf meer Leucht-turm lipstick

So few weeks ago I had an impulse purchase, another red lipstick :D But I really needed this one ^_^ This is a part of Alverde Lust auf meer limited edition which is still available in DM stores (so I'm not late with this post yay :D) and it's called Leucht-turm and it has a number 30. 

Google translate tells me that the meaning of the name is Lighthouse and I'd say it's appropriate they are sometimes red or have a red light :) 

Here is a picture of lipstick in the tube, both pictures above are shot in natural light and lipstick in the tube looks a little darker than in person. I don't know how many grams you get because it doesn't say on the lipstick but the price is 29,90 kn. 

Here is the lipstick on my lips shot in the shade. It's a warm toned red  with an orange undertone. It's not super pigmented which I like and wanted something that I can just slap on when I go to the beach. When I want a full color I use similar shade of lip pencil underneath. 

And here is a picture in the sun. It can be slightly uneven but when I rub my lips it evens out. It has a little heavy and protecting feel on the lips which I find kind of strange since it's a summer collection but that makes it last better in the sun and sea (if you want to). It doesn't survive eating especially anything greasy but no lipstick survives that. All in all I'm glad I got this lipstick other two colors in this collection weren't interesting to me, this year I'm not much into orange lipstick. I hope you are not too hot these days and that you are having a good time :)

Top 5 blue cremes

Manicure I wore for the past two days and probably my favorite 5 blue cremes :D

From left to right Catrice It's all I can blue, H&M Blue my mind, Essence Electric blue (swatch coming), Catrice Shopping day at Bluemingdales and Golden Rose Rich color 16. Have a nice rest of the weekend :D

Dusty orange

In May I went to Depend presentation at Kozmo and there I got this nail polish to try out. It's Depend 384. And it's an orange nail polish with a slight dustiness in it. 

On both pictures there are two coats without top coat. This is a picture in the shade

And this is a picture in the sun. It's not my first Depend nail polish and I already showed you swatches of rest of the bunch (I still have few new ones to show you) and this is as expected 5 mL for 15 kn I think ^_^  for these regular nail polishes. The consistency is really good and this one applies really easily which is not very common among orange shades. Two coats are enough if you put really thin coats you may need a third one to hide the nail line. Some of the previous Depend polishes chipped on me really fast but in combination with my current base coat (KillyS) they last longer, still not super long but enough until I get bored and decide to change the color :) That's it for today, do you have any shade recommendations from Depend?

Disclaimer: I did not buy this product I got it at Kozmo event. Every opinion stated in this post is honest and my own.

Essence Guerilla gardening Floral glam cream blush

When I heard that Essence Guerilla gardening collection will be available in DM stores I was really excited because I knew that I would be able to hunt down the red blush that I wanted but couldn't get when I bought the pink one. My review of the Mission flower (pink blush) is here.

All of the shots in this post are shot in natural lightning. Picture of the packaging, plastic and see-through, nice but probably couldn't take many falls, but I try to keep mine safe.  

This is a nice red color, not to bright not too dark, perfect for trying to achieve the Snow White look :)

Floral glam lightly applied on bare face, no foundation or anything else. This blush, as well as Mission flower last pretty well even on the bare face in these heats, They aren't longlasting but you will get few hours out of them. 

And heavier application still on the bare face.  This one is also around 18 kn for 2,5 grams of  product. 

And a hand swatch, lightly applied on the left, heavier application on the right. 

And this is the blush brush I use to apply all my cream blushes with I thought it would be interesting for you to see it since I mentioned in the Mission flower post too. I hope you were able to get at least one of these, you still could and if you want any of them I hope you find some untouched ones, lately I only saw ones with fingerprints in them :/ Have a nice day :) 

Project 365: Day 196-202

Week 29 in which you don't get to see the beach (you are welcome :)) but there is other interesting stuff :)

Day 196. Dinner :D (yes I'm still trying to make you jealous :P)

Day 197. Moonlight (bad bad picture quality I know)

Day 198. Trying to make some videos ;)

Day 199. I broke my favorite mirror :(

Day 200. Zastava, I haven't seen one of these in a while

Day 201. A girl took her pet rabbit out for a walk and of course it was an attraction 

Day 202. A braid 

Warm purple

Today a quick one :) This is Smart girls get more 87 and it's a warm dark purple with silver shimmer and tiny blue and pink specks (shimmer). 

Here is two coats in the shade without top coat. I think this shade is part of the regular range but I'm not 100% sure. I probably wouldn't pick it up myself but I'm glad to have it, it will be nice to wear in autumn :)

And this one is in the sun so you can see the shimmer and warmness of the color. Drying time is quite regular, fast dry top coat would definitely help, 5 mL usual (but shorter brush), around 11 kn. Nothing special to say about it any more I think swatches speak for themselves :) Well off I go now :)

Summer stash reveal

So remember Summer stash post, unfortunately nobody guessed right, the right number was 105, some of you were close, some were far so I decided to use random.org to draw a winner for a little token of appreciation for reading me and playing this guessing game with me.

These two are discontinued now and I wanted to give them away to someone to have because they are one of my long time favorites. It's Catrice London weather forecast and Essence I'm bluetiful :)

There were 19 of you that entered your guesses so I made an excel spreadsheet in order you commented and random.org chose number 4 :) 

So Nail crazy is the lucky winner. I'll send you an email :) For the rest better luck next time :)

Project 365: Day 189-195

Misslyn Royal blue

I'm still looking for a number over here. Some answers were close, but still not correct. 

Well now onto the interesting things for today pictures :D Today I have for you swatches of Misslyn velvet diamond nail polish in 85 Royal blue. 

Do I even need to say it? I am utterly in love with this polish. On all pictures there are two coats of nail polish and all are without top coat. I need to say this one is gorgeous with and without top coat, now I don't have pictures with top coat but I'm sure I'll sneak one in in future posts :)

Both of the pictures above are shot in the shade and I couldn't pick just one :) This polish dries really quickly and is perfectly opaque in two coats I love glitters like that. You get 10 mL of nail polish in the bottle for about 45 kn and a regular thin but not too thin brush. It's not the cheapest of polishes but for me it's well worth the money :)

And this is a picture in the sun, you can see it's grittiness better than on the picture in the shade. and the color is truer to life it's a deep gorgeous blue, just the type of color I adore :D

A little blurry pic in the sun just so you can see how it sparkles :D 

And obligatory beach picture :P You can see it's already chipped but after a long stay in the sea it hangs on pretty nicely most of my polishes chip much more badly than this :) So do you have any of the Misslyn velvet diamond polishes? I have my eye on the black one but I'm still waiting for some cheaper versions  to see if they ill have a black one :) 

Summer stash

So how many nail polishes do you think an addict needs for 2 months of summer?

Can you guess? I miss my base coat and top coat on this picture and some of the new polishes I got today but you'll see those on Sunday. Who knows correct answer might be awarded ;)
