Barry M Pink Flamingo
August 13, 20110 Comments

Pink Flamingo is a fantastic summer shade. Seriously, it's gorgeous. It's a bright pink shade mixed with some coral, similar to Miss Sporty 370 just pinker and with a cream finish. I get full coverage with only one coat and the formula is super easy to work with. The swatch is pretty accurate, in real life the colour is just a touch more coral.

Haul S-he Stylezone and Some Nail Polish Swatches
May 22, 20110 Comments

S-he finally revamped their line and I think I'm actually one of the rare people who likes the new lego style packaging. I bought two nail polishes (020 and 345) and two eye shadows in 035 and 065.
S-he je končno zamenjal embalaže in sodeč po komentarjih, sem ena izmed redkih kateri so embalaže v stilu lego kock dejansko všeč. Kupila sem dva laka (020 in 345), ter dve senčili 035 in 065.


Eyeshadows are very pigmented. S-he doesn't carry a particularity great selection of colours, but these are very good (especially compared to Essence). 035 is an sapphire blue and it's so pigmented, vibrant and easy to blend, I would easily compare it to ArtDeco's 272 (but S-he is a bit brighter). 065 is a gorgeous highlight shade with a satin finish. It's a good dupe for one of my favourite highlighting shades - the lightest shade from one of the Essence's Secret of the Past TE palettes.  I've worn both for hours without a base and the blue one only faded a bit, the highlighter shade still looked ok. Here is a lousy pic of swatches, but can you see how vibrant the blue is? The eyeshadows are very small, but I don't mind since they're 1.95 € a piece. I'll probaby get some more colours.
Senčila so zelo dobra in zelo pigmentirana. Kakšne velike izbire barv ravno ni, ampak v primerjavi s Essence so mi ta senčila veliko boljša. 035 je smaragdno modra, zelo pigmentirana in se lepo nanaša. Zlahka bi jo primerjala z ArtDecovo 272 , ampak S-he-jeva je malo bolj živa. 065 je odličen odtenek za pod obrv, ima satenast finiš. Je zelo podoben mojemu najljubšemu odtenku za pod obrv - najsvetlejšemu odtenku v Essencevi paleti iz Secret of the Past TE. Obe senčili sem nosila brez baze več ur, modra je malenkost zbledela (kot vsa druga temnejša senčila), bež senčka pa je ostala ok. Tukaj je še bolj slaba slika odtenkov, modra je dejansko še bolj živa. Senčila so zelo majhna, ampak mene to ne moti, so itak samo 1, 95€ za kos. Verjetno bom kupila še kakšno barvo.


Here is first of the nail polishes - 020, which is light pink. It has a jelly finish, first coat is very see through, second still has a bit too little coverage for my taste, but 3 coats looks ok (although the tips still show through).
Prvi lak 020 je svetlo roza. Prva plast je prozorna, druga ima že malo več prekrivnosti, tretja pa je že ok (čeprav se konice še vidijo).

I'm sure you've already seen the swatches of 345 before, mine is very bad, sorry about that. I bought this one after seeing Biba's and Nihrida's swatches. It's a black with gold and silver shimmer, just so pretty. However it's a pain to remove.
Verjetno ste že prej videli slike laka 345, moja je zelo slaba. Kupila sem ga potem, ko sem videla slike Bibe in Nihride. Je črn z zlatimi in srebrnimi bleščicami, res lep. Ga je pa težko odstraniti. 


The last thing is Barry M's Limited Edition Pink nail polish, which I got in a swap. It's a very bright pink and very opaque, on this picture I'm only wearing one coat.
Še slika Barry M-ovega Limitited Edtiton Pink laka, ki sem ga dobila v zamenjavi. Je zelo živo rozast in zelo prekriven. Na tej sliki imam namazano le eno plast.

Barry M Blusher Rose and Lipstick 145
May 17, 20110 Comments

When Barry M make up finally became accessible in Slovenia, their blushers were the first thing on my wishlist. But I was a bit concerned about how pigmented they looked, so I never came round to ordering them. I got this one in a swap and as I presumed it's very, very pigmented. You need to use a light hand when applying it. Take most of the colour off on your hand and just build up the colour slowly. It gives a beautiful rosey-pink flush and it's mat finish. I'm interested in how shade 1 (Pink Orchid) would look on me, it looks so beautiful on pictures. I think this is a perfect blush for darker skin tones because it's so pigmented that you don't have to worry if it will show up. Another good thing is the price, it's quite cheap.
Ko so Barry M ličila prišla v Slovenijo, so me najbolj zanimali njihovi blushi, ampak so se mi zdeli zelo pigmetirani in jih zato nisem nikoli naročila. Odtenek Rose (2) sem dobila v zamenjavi in kot sem pričakovala je izjemno pigmentiran. Pri nanosu moraš biti precej previden, saj je kmalu preveč. Najbolje je, da ga nanašaš postopoma, bolje je premalo kot preveč. Da res lepo roza rdečico in ima mat finiš. Mene zanima še odtenek številka 1 (Pink Orchid, ki je najsvetlejši), na slikah izgleda zelo lep. Ta blush je zelo dober za tiste z temnejšo poltjo (sama sem bela kot mleko in se na meni vsak blush pozna), saj se ni treba bati se ne bi poznal. Barry M ličila lahko kupite na Ličila.si, stanejo 6,55 €.

I also got a lipstick in the shade 145 (Punky Pink) which is a very, very bright fuchsia pink. It's way to bright for my liking, but others say it looks fine on me. I like the formula of this shade, it's not moisturising but it just feels like it'll stay on forever. Shade 147 (Peachy Pink) has the worst formula I ever tried, it is extremely drying, applies so patchy and uneven plus the colour looks horrible on me, it's very bright pastel orange. I gave it to my cousin who has darker skin tone than I me (about NC 20 or Bourjois Healthy Mix 52-53) and it still looks very pastel orange, but she tops it with a pink gloss and it looks ok. If you like very bright fuchsia shades, you'll love 145 (perhaps you should bare in mind that I'm very pale so it might not look as bright on you)
Dobila sem še šminko v odtenku 145 (Punky Pink), ki je zelo, zelo živa fusija. Zame je preveč živa, ampak drugi pravijo da na meni izgleda ok. Baje je najbolj prodajan roza odtenek na ličila.si, meni se ne zdi ravno odtenek za vsak dan. Všeč mi je občutek na ustnicah, ni vlažilna, ampak imaš občutek da ostala gor ure in ure. Veliko boljša je kot naprimer odtenek 147 (Peachy Pink), ki je verjetno najslabša šminka, kar sem jo imela. Je izjemno izsušujoča, nikakor je ne moreš lepo namazati, pa še odtenek je grozen na meni, tak živo pastelno oranžen. Dala sem jo moji sestrični, ki je temnejša kot jaz (približno NC 20 ali Bourjois 52-53) in na njej izgleda isto, ampak ona da gor svetlo roza glos in izgleda ok. Če so vam všeč fuksijasti odtenki, vam bo tale verjetno zelo všeč (Imejte v mislim da sem zelo svetla in bo mogoče na vas 145 izgledala malenkost manj živo).

Big Haul and Swaps
May 14, 20110 Comments

I accumulated a lot of new stuff in the last two weeks. Mostly because I won't be in Ljubljana that much in the next weeks and also because I had a horrible week and I presume that the next couple of weeks will be even more stupid.
I ordered a package from Studioma. I bought the Orofluido shampoo, conditioner and shine spray (they currently have an offer, you receive the shine spray for free). I hadn't tried them yet, but review will follow sometime in the next weeks (I won't be at home as much unfortunately). The scent of all the products is the same as of the serum, that oriental blend of vanilla and amber.
I finally caved and bought Nuxe oil (and since I used up that wild rose oil that I talked about in one of the previous posts, I was in need of a replacement). The scent is gorgeous. If you ever had their tinted moisturizer, this smells the same. It a very sweet a bit almondy scent, I just love it. Review with all the pictures will follow.
And the last from the upper picture is Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Soft Mat bronzer. After months of searching for a good bronzer, swatching and reading reviews I ended up buying this one. I love the colour because unlike most (or more like all) other bronzers I swatched, this one doesn't look orange on me at all. It almost has a slightly reddish tone to it. Again review and swatches will be posted as soon as I find some time.

Essence Sun Club Bondi Beach TE nail polish in BBC Pink Heat. When I saw Taya's swatch I feel in love with this colour. On me it's doesn't even look pink, but a very bright red. Fantastic colour for summer. The formula is amazing, I got full coverage with only one coat.
I bought a 250 ml bottle of Bioderma Sensibio make up remover which is my favourite one. In our pharmacies it costs 11 €.
 

And here are products I got in swaps (I swapped with two great girls from ARS Cosmetica forum. Thanks to both of you!). I got Benefit Girl Meets Pearl highlighter (swatches and comparison with High Beam will be posted shortly) and BarryM blusher (I think it's 2 Rose), nail polish in Limited Pink and lipstick 145.

Review and swatches will follow. Hopefully soon. Thanks for watching!
