Artdeco mat lip powder in ˝Spring day nr. 20˝

They came out last Monday and were on my big disappointment sold out till' Thursday. Restocked on Friday, so I managed to buy one on Saturday – I’m talking about new mat cushion powder lipsticks from Artdeco. I never thought they will become so desirable between costumers in a small town like mine. Maybe they put just some products on display for starter. Anyway I got my ˝copy˝ and I’m super happy with it.

Powder cushion lipsticks are not entirely new products, just newer for our market. We didn’t get the L’oreal ones which are quite similar, but we do have a cheaper, some kind of gloss version from Catrice. They don’t work on the same way, but do have cushion applicator. It took me quite some time to decide if I really want to try these or not, because they are expensive for a drugstore item, the cost around 13€. Artdeco is anyway in some middle price range, but their quality is mostly really good.

My new ˝Spring day˝ lipstick is from their newest spring collection called Hypnotic blossom (that so reminds me on Dior). Powder lipsticks are available in 6 shades, mine is the most natural looking one. It is truly my lips but better, orange nude, strictly mat color. Very appropriate for work and quite long lasting. I was afraid that this powder will feel super dry and uncomfortable, but it is not. I mean I feel it on my lips, but it’s not bothering me. It also contains oils for some hydration. I haven’t detached any smell, just very mild, typical makeup/powder taste. It’s a strange feeling, which I’m not used to, somehow powdery and silky at the same time. I really like it and you can’t overdue with this color. Spring day looks very natural.

It is interesting that the product itself is in a cap and not in the holder. I truly don’t have experiences with this cushions stuff. I somehow thought that the color comes from the applicator like with glosses. I’m not sure how will this behave in summer. Can mostly powder contained product also melt in the car? Probably somehow it can, but harder than standard lipstick I believe. Application is fun, comfortable, fast and even. You can’t swipe it around for good results, just tap on the lips. Color is buildable and also supposed to be appropriate for ombre effect if you’re into that.

Oh and my next cushion wish? Over praised Juicy shaker from Lancome, but I’m not sure just yet.

Yet another expensive list

Welcome to May! A brand new fresh month also means a great excuse to make yet another wish list of things that recently caught my attention. And this is also my birthday month, so I can splurge a bit more. No? Let’s start with something puffy and blue- Pinko Quilted Nappa leather flat bag . This looks fancier than your usual everyday bag but can be totally worn on many occasions, even if you just go grocery shopping. Why not? Dark blue is gorgeous, very fashionable, and would pair nicely with a plain T-shirt and jeans or your favorite spring dress. Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Lumiere eye and cheek palette – it is that time of the year again and Estee Lauder is out with another Bronze Goddess collection. This palette surprised me because it is not that warm and bronzy. I love that they also included cool-toned shades and that way it is more versatile. I don’t like the ˝cheek˝ part in the middle, I think it is not practical- I mean how can you reach it with a face brush? Anywa...

Lego: Bouquet of Roses - Botanical Collection

It was Sunday after lunch and I enthusiastically concluded that it was the right time to open my new set of Legos. The box waited for me for three weeks now and I was ready. Because when you are an adult, and you know exactly how much you paid for your Lego set, you want the timing for your ˝play˝ to be just perfect. Bouquet of Roses was released was released in February, just in time for Valentine’s Day. It captured my attention immediately. I always look at Legos also from that practical site of aesthetics. Does this look good? Is it something I can keep on my shelf as decoration? Will it only look like clutter? You get the point. So yes, these roses looked lovely and I bought them for myself. This set includes 822 pieces, arranged into 6 packs. The whole building ¨process¨ is divided into three parts. At the end you'll get 12 Roses (3 different types) and 4 branches of Baby's Breath. I believe it took me three hours of slow building and just chilling with some old music i...

Relaxation before sleep – watching beauty YouTube channels

(taken from: Tati Westbrook Instagram) Glam Life Guru - Tati Westbrook Tati from L.A. is my favorite ˝YouTuber˝. Her channel was first which I subscribed to and watched regularly. I found it by coincidence, when I was searching for… you know something. She posts videos every work day, so she is very involved in this YouTube thing, I would say it’s her primary occupation. She recently launched her makeup line, she collaborates with Amazon and some magazines. I believe her reviews are honest, although things are often sent or given to her. Her descriptions, tests, comparisons and swatches of products are very good. Her videos look very professional. They are also very versatile, from testing the most ridiculously expensive products to the cheapest ones. She mostly filmes in her (new) beauty room, once a week she’s testing how new makeup items perform during running errands. And those kinds of videos I like to watch the most. Recently her fia...
