New Years !!

Happy new years everybody!

Whats a new year, without a new dress? Bought this when I was in London right before Christmas. It's from miss selfridge and I love it! It's 55£ so nothing that'll break the bank.

Take care guys! Talk too you in the new year ..

Inglot Lip Paint

Yesterday when I went to Inglot I saw their lip paint.. The beautiful array of colors standing ever so neatly next to each other. So of course I had to go back and try them out for myself. There where loats of cool colors, but being fond of reds and berrys I only chose two.

 They are super moisturizing and very well pigmented! They come in all colors. Some of them are beige, sand, brown, purple, bright red and so on. I didn't see any with glitter in them, well, those I have bought have non. They taste great and smell wonderfully off cherries.

I chose
No 68 a very berry color
No 64 I more true red color


I have taken some swatches for you. From left to right it is 68 and then 64. It's taken with and without flash, non smudged and smudged. 

Once on the lips they're quite similar so if you are thinking of trying them out, then I suggest only getting one - but for me who loves them I just justify getting two since they where different colors. I think they're really good and know I'm gonna get a lot of use out of them. The color of a lipstick, but the feel of a gloss/balm.

They are around 10£ each.

E.L.F. favorites (swatches)

 These are taken with and without flash. It's my favorites from ELF.

From the top down you see: blush in tickled pink, eyeshadow in amethyst, eyeshadow in pebble, mineral lipliner in rose.

All the shadows and the blush has the elf eyelid primer underneath - which I by the way also like.

Bellápierre

A couple of weeks ago I won an eyeshadow and primer by Bellapierre cosmetics from nicecare.dk 's facebook site. It all was a real surprise, I've never really won anything before. Anyways, Nicecare is a Danish website that has makeup and skincare completely free of parabens, non natural ingrediens and there is no testing on animals.

The mineral shadow is in the color Refined. It's a beutiful navy with a dark silver/navy sheen to it. It's a great color for 'smokey eyes' (better for me than a black that looks way too harsh on me). I used it all around my eyes, with a golden color in the middle (like stars on a midnight sky) for a masquerade I went to around a week ago.

With flash

It wouldn't be much without the primer though.. You can see the difference on the swatches.

Swatches from left to right
-One layer of shadow on top of a primer
-Packed shadow on top of primer
-Shadow without primer 

With the primer, it is gorgeous! It stays on all night, doesn't flake, fade or smudge. Without the primer it has a tendency to disappear and to color doesn't really show, which is a real shame - it's quite unique.

Without flash

All in all, my first impression with bellapierre is good. The primer is the most impressive, it just stays put! 


The prices may vary around, but check out their sites.

nicecare.dk - DK mainly
bellapierre.com - International

Products mentioned: Bellapierre colour STAY, Bellapierre shadow Refined

All in all? I like them. I'm crazy about the colour stay primer and love the uniqueness of the color in the shadow. It's also nice to know that it's safe cosmetics - maybe I'm gonna see what else is on nicecare.

Have a lovely day,

xoxo

NB! The primer is white in the pan, but when dry, it has NO color at all!

A trip to Inglot

Before meeting my brother (we where going to see a movie - the untouchables) I went for a quick trip to Inglot. They're having a 50% off sale, which continues untill January 1st (in Denmark).

Liquid liners, under eye concealer and eyeliner brush 23T

I haven't tried a lot off their products before, but looking around the store today, I was impressed. They had the most beautiful eyeshadows and face makeup had a wide range. Their 'freedom system' is really cool! It's a system where you can mix and match, blush, shadow, lips and concealer in a little case. You choose which, how many off each and so on. Cool!

Only problem, I'm not much of a eyeshadow gal but tend too focus more on skin and a good solid eyeliner. So I found to liners in brown that would look great on green/blue eyes, a concealer (but they gave me the wrong color) and a really cheap brush.

The liquid eyeliners are something I'm not used too, so I though brown would be the way to go. I found the one in 20 and 23.

On top is # 23, the bottom is # 20

Color 20: This is a very golden, shimmery brown, a bit lighter than the 23
Color23: This is more off a red brown with golden shimmers in it

They have amazing staying powers! The swatches sticked on me like glue and would only come off in the presence of soap (water didn't do the trick alone).

The concealer was the wrong color, which I only noticed once I had tried it on the hand at home. She gave my the wrong color! Nothing is more irritating than comming home with the wrong product! But, she is human too. Humans make mistakes.

Under eye concealer: The consistency of the concealer is nice though, very fluent and rich - it feels like it's doing something good for my eyearea. It's not as pigmented as I would have liked. Maybe it's caused by the change of color, maybe the store once had set for longer, but that one had more pigment, than this one.

So, all in all, I will definately go back to try out more products. Will however, from this day on, always look at the colors one more time before bringing them home!
