My Top 10 Eyeshadows
July 18, 20110 Comments
I own a reasonable amount of eyeshadows, however I tend to use only a few and mostly it's neutral colours that complement my eye colour (which is grey, you can see it in this post). These are all single eyeshadows, I might feature my palettes separately, but I don't even own that much palettes anyway. So here are my chosen 10:
1. Row: Mac Satin Taupe, Mac Patina, Nyx Black
2. Row: Mac Wedge, L'Oreal Color Infaillible 012 Endless Chocolate, Make Up Factory Shimmer Creme 4
3. L'Oreal Chrome Shine 172 Beige Shimmer, S-he 065, S-he 035, ArtDeco 245


1. L'Oreal Chome Shine in 172 Beige Shimmer - is a very shimmery beige gold shade that really brings out my eyes. I find the the best way to apply it is with the sponge applicator, it sort of doesn't really work well with brushes, I honestly don't know why. Also because it's really shimmery, you have to be carefull when applying it or the shimmer gets everywhere. I bought it when I was in London and I don't think they sell this colour in Slovenia (actually the color selection of L'Oreal eyeshadows in our drugstores is really pathetic). I love pairing this shade with L'Oreal's 012 Endless Chocolate.

2. S-he 065 - is a brilliant highlighting shade. It's has a soft satin shine finish. I love using it just all over with some gel eyeliner. It's ridiculously cheap (1,95 €), however the size of it is also ridiculously small. 

3. S-he 035 - is a gorgeous dark blue with a satin finish. I love, love, love dark blue shades and this one is one of the prettiest I came across. I wear it over Essence kajal pencil in 13 Nightfever on the top lash line, when I want to wear something else than a black eyeliner.

4. Mac Wedge - is the perfect contouring shade for my skin tone. Also use it for contouring  my cheekbones.
5. ArtDeco 245 - I already featured it in my top 10 products post. It's my all-time favorite eyeshadow. The shade is sort of an old gold color, green-gold with a satin finish. The size of the pan is really, really small and it is a bit expensive (around 5 €), but the quality is fantastic.

6. Make Up Factory Shimmer Creme 4 - is the only creme eyeshadow I own. It's perfect for days when I'm in a rush, but I still want to wear something on my lids. It's really smooth and applies like butter. Unfortunately, since it is a creme eyeshadow, it does crease eventually, but I still find it that it lasts reasonably long. It's one of those shades that really complement blue/grey eyes because it's gold with some copper undertones. I also love using it as a base, especially when I'm wearing Urban Decay's Half Baked. Make Up Factory is only available in Müller, I believe this eyeshadow was around 12-14€.

7. L'Oreal Color Infaillible in 012 Endless Chocolate - I already raved a lot about the Color Infaillible range. Endless Chocolate is a gorgeous shimmery, bronzey brown shade. It's so versatile, I wear it all over the lid or just as a liner and it's also one of those shades that looks great in combination with so many colors. The staying power is excellent. The texture of these eyeshadows is like a pressed pigment and are really pigmented. These cost around 8 €.

8. Nyx Black - Another eyeshadow I featured in my top 10 products post. It's my most worn eyeshadow. I wear it as a liner on my waterline and top lash line. It's such a deep black shade that just lasts ages on your waterline. 
9. Mac Patina - One of the pretties shades ever. It's an antiqued gold shade that complements blue/grey eyes. It's not massively pigmented, you have to build up the color, but it just looks so gorgeous even by itself.

10. Mac Satin Taupe - Another really gorgeous shade for blue/grey eyes. It a brown taupe shade with some purple undertones. It's the prefect color for a neutral brown smoky eye. I love wearing it alone with just some mascara and black liner.

Make Up Factory True Lip Colour Lipsticks
March 12, 20110 Comments

Finally! A nice range of shades for a change. I like at least a half of the shades, all from 12 - 47 (without 28) are very nice and wearable colours. Make Up Factory is a high end brand available only in Müller. These lipsticks cost 14,50 €. I bought the shade 47, which is very similar to Mac's Hue (my all-time favourite).
These are very nice. Quality wise I'd compare them to Mac's Glaze formula, not fully opaque but moisturizing, creamy and feel very comfortable on the lips. The shape of the lipstick is a bit odd, I don't really get the purpose of such shape. The packaging is very nice, a nice black, sleek, mat tube. Shade 47 is a light pink with peach tones, very similar to Hue by Mac, but Hue is lighter and has more pink in it. However once applied on the lips, the difference is negligible. I would imagine that on someone even a shade darker than me, you probably wouldn't be able to see the difference between the two. It doesn't have any particular scent, it's quite undetectable. Staying power is very similar to Mac's glaze formula, they last about 4 hours. These lipsticks contains jojoba in olive oil, vitamin C and E, and they're paraben and fragrance free.

Končno ena linija šmink z dobrimi odtenki. Všeč mi je vsaj polovica, od 12 - 47 (brez 28) so zelo lepe in nosljive barve. So zelo dobre šminke, kvalitetne, zelo podobne Macovi glaze formuli. Niso polno prekrivne, imajo nekakšen kremen finiš, so kar vlažilne, ampak niso mastne. Oblika šminke mi je misterij, je neka čudna prirezana oblika, katere namen mi ni jasen. Embalaža je super, zelo elegantna, mat, črna tuba, zelo kvalitetna. Odtenek 47 je svetlo roza z nekaj breskve, zelo podoben Macovi Hue, ampak Hue je bolj roza in svetlejša. Vseeno ko jo naneseš na ustnice je razlika skoraj nezaznavna. Na nekomu, ki ima samo odtenek temnejšo polt kot jaz, se po moje razlike sploh ne bi opazilo. Nima kakšnega posebnega vonja, obstojnost je precej dobra, kakšne 4 ure. Šminke vsebujejo jojobino in olivno olje, vitamina C in E, ter so brez parabenov in dišav.
