New Year's look with Lime Crime and Sephora

New Year's eve is in four days, so I wanted to do a make up look inspired by it,

and also to review Lime Crime Carousel Gloss and Sephora Glitter eyeshadow. This is just an idea, you can play with colours and shades to create your own perfect New Year's look. :)

Products I used:

• Bioten CC cream (light)
• Aura Cover ME! foundation (101 Alabaster)
• Deborah Milano 24Ore Velvet eyeshadow (13)
• Sephora Glitter eyeshadow (N° 13 Curacao Punch - Bright Aquamarine Glitter)
• Nyx Glam eyeshadow (Wedding Cake)
• Aura Liquid Eyeliner
• Maybelline New York Go Extreme! Leather Black mascara
• Lime Crime Carousel Gloss (Present)
• L'Oreal Paris Bare Naturale mineral blush (Sugar Plum 490)  

Sephora Glitter Eyeshadow

- N° 13 Curacao Punch - Bright Aquamarine Glitter  -

Sephora Curacao Punch (13) Eyeshadow is described as a “bright aquamarine with

silver glitter.” It’s a bright, medium blue with a hint of teal and silver glitter.

The underlying color has a metallic finish. 

The color payoff is just so-so when applied dry, but it is incredibly pigmented and intense when applied using a dampened brush. The glitter also adhered better initially when the product is applied to the lid with a wet brush, because when it is used dry, there is a ton of glitter fall out during the application process. Unsurprisingly, the big downfall to Curacao Punch is the glitter fall out during wear, and is noticeable after five hours or so of wear. The actual blue color last eight and a half hours well, and it look a bit faded after a full ten. I noticed some very slight staining when I wore this shade without primer. It feels soft, despite the heavy glitter content, and smoothes out nicely on the skin.

All in all I really like this eyeshadow!

Lime Crime Carousel Lipgloss

- Present - 

"Carousel Gloss boasts semi-opaque coverage combined with bursts of nebulesque sparkle that comes alive in indoor lighting. Cruelty-free/vegan formula glides on smoothly on bare lips or over your favorite lipstick. Each gloss arrives in a sumptuous purple foil box resembling an antique merry-go-round."

Present is a deep plummy rose with magenta-pink sparkles.

• Opacity: 8/10 (i.e. you can get by without lip liner or lipstick underneath)
• Ease of application: 8/10
• Drama: 7/10
• Good for: Most skin tones

 

 The glitter is much more apparent in real life, and this lipgloss has really nice vanilla smell. It is also really sticky. If you layer it over a deep cool-toned rose colored lipstick or liner, it will come off more dramatic. Shines like a gloss, pigmented like a lipstick, and is loaded to the brim with sparkle.

Perfect shade for holidays. :)

My favourite red lipsticks!

Today I thought I'd do a review of my favourite red lipsticks, so I'm going to be reviewing the Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in the colour "Kiss of life" or "111", then Illamasqua's "Maneater" and the last one for this post will be Deborah Milano Atomic Red Mat "05".

So lets start! :)

Rimmel - Kate Moss "Kiss of life" or "111"

 

 

The colour is a really deep, bright red with orange undertone, and depending on how much is applied, can either just add a little bit of colour to your lips, or provide total coverage. I was actually shocked by it's velvety texture, at how bright the colour was, and how easily it could be applied.

The texture is generally really light, and it's easy to rub in if you don't want the colour to be as strong. I am generally really pleased with this product. The smell is really nice, it's affordable, smooth, and long-wearing. It makes your lips look so plush and luscious. It doesn't dry your lips, actually no more drying or hydrating than any other drugstore lipstick. 

 But, it transfers like CRAZY on anything you eat or drink, and also this lipstick looks awesome as it fades; a slightly rich stain is left behind. This shade is more matte then shiny, and I like that. 

 Illamasqua - "Maneater" + "Feisty"  

 

Described as a "cherry red" on the website, I think this is indeed a bright red with very little blue undertone. This is a matte formula, which can be very drying, but if your lips aren't terribly dry, lip balm will solve the problem. I love this colour and it was my first from Illamasqua.

The lipstick tube is very sleek.

I find it a little hard to get precision when applying straight from the bullet, so I use brushes and Feisty lip liner, and for me this lipstick is generally very hard

 to apply because of it's dry texture.

It has satin-matte finish, rich, opaque pigmentation, and nice vanilla smell. Maneater formula lasts forever, barely transfers when eating or drinking and feels smooth on the lips. 

Deborah - Atomic Red Mat "05" 

 
This lipstick is a red shade that looks more cool toned in certain lighting and warmer in others. It's because of the orange AND blue undertones, so it's pretty much neutral. It's also slightly darker than previous two shades.

 Excellent quality, great lasting power, very creamy & moisturizing, beautiful satin finish and super pigmented.

It's easy to apply and doesn't dry my lips. The texture of this lipstick is a soft, velvety matte, smell is, well like wax. It does not transfer when eating.

Overall: 

Best colour: Deborah, Illamasqua, Rimmel

Easiest to apply: Rimmel, Deborah, Illamasqua
Most moisturizing: Rimmel, Deborah, Illamasqua
Best smell: Rimmel, Illamasqua, Deborah
Lasting: Illamasqua, Deborah, Rimmel
Most matte: Illamasqua, Deborah, Rimmel
Most transfer when eating/drinking: Rimmel, Deborah, Illamasqua
Smoothest, most velvety: Rimmel, Deborah, Illamasqua

 All three are super pigmented, rich and opaque.

- Review -

Size Enlargement: ★★★★★

My eyes are noticeably bigger and I for sure like the doll effect these lenses creates.

Comfort: ★★★★★

These are just THE MOST comfortable lenses, and I can easily wear them up to 12 hours.
(I suppose it's from high water content, I don't feel them at all, and they are very soft and

very easy to put in the eyes.) I had no discomfort wearing them for the first time, but if you feel slight discomfort wearing circle lenses; you can always treat it at home.

Color and design: ★★★★★

I adore this design! <3 Blue is deep, like I said eyes are bigger and doll-like, and it covers

my natural color perfectly. The color is even more intensive in flash.

Overall: ★★★★★

I really love these lenses. I like effects that I achieve wearing them, how they are noticable, but not over the top. They can be considered natural or make your eyes pop, it all depends on the makeup.

- Benefits -

With Beuberry CH Blue you got complete make over, your eyes will be different and nicer in less then a second! Color is beautiful, so if you want lots of compliments regard it - try them out. :)

I have increased confidence wearing them, and I feel beautiful. Circle lens make your eyes appear larger, with amazing effects so for me these contacts are one must have fashion accessory.

Manic Panic Hells Bells lipstick review

Today I will do a review of Manic Panic Hell's Bells lipstick.

Manic Panic products are vegan (or cruelty-free), and I just adore them!

Packaging is pretty average, functional and doesn't feel cheap or likely to break.

Hell's Bells is Lethal metallic dark silver with purple shimmer, and this unique

formula is long-wearing and contains antioxidants to soften lips. It goes on a little sheer

but it can be layered for a deeper color. If you're afraid to wear silver lipstick

by itself, you can use it to darken other colors. If you mix it with pink, it'll make a pretty purple.

If you mix it with red, it makes a gorgeous metallic burgandy.

It is bold and long lasting with a nice rich texture. It has typical lipstick smell (to me it's like wax).
Despite wearing three or four layers of the lipstick, it actually felt very light

and moisturising and as if I was wearing nothing at all.

I really like this color and I will buy more Manic Panic products for sure! <3
