Essence körömlakk automata | Árkád Müller

Körömlakk automata. KÖRÖMLAKK. AUTOMATA. Azt hiszem, mind megegyezhetünk abban, hogy egy ilyen szépség sokunk házában jól mutatna. Márciusban bukkant fel ez az amúgy hatalmas szerkezet az Árkád Müllerben Pesten, és ma szerencsére én is meg tudtam nézni közelebbről.


Essence körömlakk automata
(Budapest, Árkád Müller)

Általában minden kisebb a valóságban, mint ahogy azt interneten vagy képen látjuk, illetve ahogy magunk elé képzeljük. Na itt jön a képbe a mai napom, ugyanis az Essence körömlakkos automatája hatalmas. Ha jól saccolom, körülbelül 2 méter magas és másfél méter széles, mindez telis-tele vidám körömlakkokkal.



A szerkezetet március 25. és április 16. között találhatjátok meg az Árkád Müllerben (csak Budapesten). Sajnos csak pénteken és szombaton üzemeltetik, így ma csak csendesen álldogált az üzletben.

Amit tudni érdemes az automatáról és az akcióról:

  • vásároljatok Essence termékeket minimum 1500 Ft értékben, és ajándékba kaptok egy The Gel körömlakkot
  • minden pénteken és szombaton az automatából választhatjátok ki az áhított lakkot egy kis szelvény segítségével
  • ha nem a gép üzemelésének napjain vásároltok, az Essence körömlakkos állványáról választhattok magatoknak egy lakkot



Picit sajnálom, hogy nem üzemel minden nap, de így is szuper dolog, hogy hazánkba is eljutott egy ilyen automata. Az Essence angol facebookján nem találtam erről semmit, míg a németeknél - ahogy azt sejteni lehet - szintén felbukkant ez a hatalmas jószág. 

Az új lakkokat ki is próbálhatjátok pénteken és szombaton, az Essence manikűrösei várnak Titeket az automata közelében.

ITT még találtok pár képet.

Más:

Már biztosan sokan hallottátok illetve láttátok, hogy az Essence gél hatású lakkjai most olcsóbban, csupán 445 Ft-ért kaphatóak. Leírom itt is, hátha páran nem hallottátok még. 

Ha hiszitek, ha nem, még egyetlen egy The Gel lakkot sem próbáltam az Essence-től, pedig már lassan egy éve kaphatóak. A kívánságlistámon persze szerepel pár (haha, pár 10), így én is tervezek belőlük vásárolni. Súgjatok, hogy szeretnétek-e róluk valamilyen bejegyzést.

A képeket telefonnal készítettem, bár kinézet alapján rotációs kapa is készíthette volna. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 
Nem tudtam vállalni sok órás vonatozást meg rohanást egy nagy DSLR géppel. A jó hír, hogy ennél csak jobb képek szerepelhetnek a következő bejegyzésben, akármiről is fogok írni. 

Mit szóltok az automatához? Ti láttátok már közelről?

Spring Avon Eyeshadow Quads - Luminosity & Day Glow | Review

Avon eyeshadow quads for spring

Az Avon előállt pár új tavaszi szemhéjpalettával, ezek közül ma kettő mutatok be Nektek. Mindkét paletta pasztell színekkel köszönti a tavaszt.

Avon introduced a couple of new eyeshadow quads this Spring, and I will review 2 of them. Both of the palettes include pastel colours to match the season. 


Avon eyeshadow palettes - Luminosity and Day Glow
Sokáig tanakodtam, hogy ezt a tesztet töltsem-e fel előbb, vagy egy Avon hault még őszről, amiben további 5 szemhéjpaletta szerepel. Már ez a kis információ is elárulja, hogy nagyon szeretem az Avon szemhéjpúdereket, így nem lesz zsákbamacska a bejegyzés tartalma.

It took me a long time to decide whether I should upload my Avon haul first, or the review of these quads. I went with the latter option, so you will see an upcoming Avon haul soon that includes another 5 eyeshadow palettes I purchased last Autumn. That information already tells you that I adore Avon eyeshadows.

avon eyeshadow palettes spring

Az Avon szemhéjpúderekről általánosságban annyi mondható el, hogy nagyon puhák és selymesek. Annyira megtetszettek, hogy 2013 óta minden évben adok a gyűjteményemhez pár darabot. Hasonlóak az új generációs Essence szemhéjpúderekhez, ám mégsem teljesen olyanok. Könnyű velük dolgozni, a pigmentációjuk közepesről erősre építhető. A szatén és csillámló színekkel a legkönnyebb a munka, míg a matt testvérkéiket puha és szintetikus ecsettel érdemes felvinni, mert kicsit porzanak. Érdemes leütögetni a felesleget az ecsetről, ha nem akarunk a szem alá lehullott púderszemcséket. A leütögetős módszer minden szemhéjkencénél jól jön, de az ilyen puha textúrájú púdereknél különösen ajánlott. Ugyanezt a selymes szemhéjpúder textúrát találjuk meg az Avon mono, duo és négyes palettáiban is.

First off, I will talk about Avon eyeshadows in general. I started to collect Avon eyeshadows in 2013, and been adding to my collection every year. Besides the new generation Essence shadows, Avon makes my favourite affordable eyeshadows that have a silky smooth texture. They feel incredibly soft, blend beautifully and have buildable colour payoff. The mono eyeshadows, duos and quads all have the same texture. 

pastel Avon eyeshadow palette for Spring and Summer 2016
Ilyen puha textúrájú szemhéjpúderekhez érdemes egy ragacsos bázist használni, az én kedvenceim erre a célra az Urban Decay Primer Potion, a Rival de Loop Young primer, az Artdeco primer vagy az Etude House Proof 10 szemhéjbázisa. Természetesen más primert is lehet vele párosítani, de ezzel a néggyel a legszebb az eredmény, illetve a NYX fejér jumbo ceruzájával.

Fekete műanyag tükrös palettákban érkeznek a szemhéjpúderek, hasonlóan a Chanel palettáihoz. A kedvenceim a duokróm hatású púderek, és az Avonnál szép számmal találhatunk ilyet. A magazin lapjain ez persze nem nagyon látszik, azért kell internetes képeket keresni egy-egy palettához, amit kinézünk magunknak a katalógusban.

Since the texture of the shadows is so soft and silky, I recommend using a hella sticky eye primer. My favourite bases for this sort of job are the following: UD Primer Potion, Rival de Loop Young primer, Artdeco eye primer and the Proof 10 eye base by Etude House. 

Avon shadows come in a black plastic palette that includes a mirror, it reminds me of Chanel packaging. My favourite type of eyeshadows are the duochrome ones, Avon makes a lovely selection of those, even though you can't really tell by looking at the magazine pictures. You have to look up swatches to see the true beauty of them.

avon luminosity eyeshadow quad
Avon eyeshadow quad - Luminosity
A Luminostity Avon palettában két lila, egy pasztell sárga és egy világos bézs szemhéjpúder kapott helyet. Utóbbi kettő matt, míg a lilák duokróm hatásúak. Lehet, hogy páran emlékeztek, amikor 2011-ben készítettem egy pasztell sárga szemsminket. Azóta is nagy kedvencem a szín tavaszra, és rögtön azokat az időket juttatta eszembe a paletta.

The Avon Luminosity eyeshadow quads includes 2 duochrome purple colours, a matte ivory colour and a matte baby yellow colour. I am not sure if you remember, but I created a pastel yellow eye look back in 2011, and been adoring pastel yellow eyeshadows ever since. This palette takes me back instantly, even though I still have the yellow eyeshadow I used in that blogpost. 

Avon Luminosity eyeshadow palette
Az irizáló világos lila szemhéjpúder rózsaszínbe, míg a sötétebb lila kékbe vált át a fényforrástól függően. A matt baba sárga nagyon visszafogott a szemhéjon, így könnyen viselhető munkába is anélkül, hogy az emberek kiszúrják. Érdemes fehér alapra kenni, ha élénkebb hatásra vágyunk. Pasztell sárga szemhéjpúderhez képest nagyon jó a pigmentáció, ám olyan tömény színre ne számítsunk, mint például Sugarpill szemhéjpúdereknél. 

The lighter purple has a pink flash to it, while the darker one shifts to a bright blue colour. Both are duochrome eyeshadows, and they are very easy to work with. The matte shades are a little dusty, I believe that is because of the soft texture. Use a soft synthetic brush with these, harder natural bristle brushes might scratch the surface of the shadows. You will need to tap off the brush in order to avoid fallout. That applies to all Avon matte eyeshadows.

avon luminosity palette swatch
Avon Luminosity eyeshadow palette swatches
The yellow colour is very soft on the eyes, you will not get a big punch of colour from it like you would get it from Sugarpill eyeshadows. You can easily intensify the colour of it with a white base, otherwise it gives such a soft effect that you could easily wear these to work without people noticing that you are wearing colorful eyeshadow.


A matt világos bézs szemhéjpúderek hasonlítanak a bőröm színéhez, így alig látszanak a képen. Nagyon jól teljesítenek belső szemzug vagy szemöldök alatti kiemelőként.

The matte ivory colours in both palettes are pretty much the same as my skin colour, they are great as a browbone highlight. Again, because they are matte, they tend to kick up a little dust if you don't tap off the excess.

avon day glow eyeshadow quad
Avon eyeshadow quad - Day Glow
Az Avon Day Glow szemhéjpalettában kék árnyalatok kaptak helyet. Van itt egy csodás matt kobaltkék, egy matt és egy szatén hatású türkiz, valamint egy matt világos bézs a kiemeléshez. A kobaltkék kence emlékeztet a Nars Outremer szemhéjpúderéhez, ami már évek óta szerepel a kívánságlistámon.

The Avon Day Glow eyeshadow palette focuses on blue colours, including a gorgeous matte cobalt blue that reminds me of Outremer eyeshadow by Nars. It also includes a matte aqua colour, a matte ivory highlight shade and a satin turquoise colour.

Avon Day Glow eyeshadow quad
A szatén hatású türkiz szemhéjpúder gond nélkül, szinte magát eldolgozva vihető fel a bőrre. A két élénkebb matt testvérét fokozatosan lehet építgetni ez erősebb színélményhez, de puha matt kence lévén porzanak, ha nem ütögetjük le az ecsetet. A kék paletta színei remekül mutatnak az előző paletta lila árnyalataival kombinálva. Pár napja készítettem egy Aurora Borealis inspirálta sminket velük, és szuperül nézett ki az egész.

The satin turquoise eyeshadows applies like butter (like all the Avon satins or shimmers do), and pairs nicely with the other colours in the palette. The other 3 shades are all matte, and they apply rather nice. You have to build up the blue ones if you want a punch of colour, otherwise they give a very soft colour to the lids. I find that the blues in this palette look awesome with the purple shades in the other palette. I created an Aurora Borealis-type look the other day, and it looked lovely.

It was interesting to me that the cobalt blue colour looked better on the eyes than it looked as a hand swatch. It's usually the other way around. 

Érdekes volt, hogy a kobaltkék szemhéjpúder szebben nézett ki a szemhéjon, mint a kézfejen. Általában ez a jelenség fordítva mutatkozik meg.

Claire's Unique Matte Glitter Nail Polishes | Haul, Review + Swatches

claires glitter nail polishes haul

I don't have constant access to Claire's stores, but when I finally make it to one, they sure surprise me with awesome indie-like glitter nail polishes. I will show a bunch of them to you today, including flower, heart and snowflake glitter bits.


claires glitter nail polishes
Claire's glitter nail polishes

I bought these little gems during last summer, and I still see them in recent instagram hauls, so they must be still around. 

They are so unique and cute, all of these glitter polishes beat the pants off of indie glitter toppers. The best thing besides the quality is the price, I bought them for 300 HUF (= around $1) a piece. Their regular price is $5, which is still a very good price considering that indie glitters like these would cost me a freaking fortune with the shipping price, not to mention that some indies don't even ship to Central Europe.

Let's see what they look like, I will show swatches as well.

claires citrus glitter nail polish
Claire's Citrus - heart shaped glitter nail polish
Claire's Citrus glitter nail polish includes tiny orange bar glitter, white small heart shaped glitter and white hex glitter of 3 various sizes. I usually pair it with a pastel yellow base colour.

claires sea green
Claire's Sea Green - flower glitter nail polish
Claire's Sea Green is the sister polish to Citrus, except this one has white flower glitter instead of the heart shaped ones. It also has tiny green bar glitter, green hex glitter, and white hex glitter in different sizes. I paired this one with a pastel peach shade.

claires ditsy floral blue
Claire's Ditsy Floral Blue - flower glitter nail polish
Claire's Ditsy Floral Blue is one of my favourites. To start off with, it has pink, white, light blue and sky blue medium hex glitter pieces. It also contains sky blue flowers and tiny white hex glitters. Beautiful! I paired it with a baby blue undie on my swatch.

claires ditsy floral yellow
Claire's Ditsy Flower Yellow - snowflake glitter nail polish
Claire's Ditsy Floral Yellow medium orange, white and light green hexes, small sunshine yellow and white hexes and baby pink ---- snowflakes. Yes, snowflakes, see the pic below. I'm sure they were tryna mask them as white flowers though, but they still are snowflakes. Amusing. Paired this one with a mint green.

Heads up: if you missed out on OPI's flower glitter called Petal Soft, any of the Claire's flower glitter polishes would make a nice alternative.

claires ditsy
Claire's Ditsy
Claire's Ditsy is my favourite piece of the bunch, it looks gorgeous over China Glaze Sea Spray. It is the best pairing of life. It beats everything. Ditsy includes big white and blue hexes, medium baby pink and white hexes, small lime green and white hexes and hella small orange and white hexes. Stunning! I wish I could find a backup of this.It looks like a happy field of flowers.

claires forest fruits
Claire's Forest Fruits matte glitter nail polish
Claire's Forest Fruits is another stunning ine, it has pastel pink, white and black hexes in different sizes. Forest Fruits looks especially charming when paired with a light grey undie. Baby pink and grey is an amazing colour combination.

claires sequins
Claire's Sequins matte glitter nail polish
Claire's Sequins is a hot pink glitter bomb. It has black, white and hot pink hexes in different sizes. It also includes long and skinny bar glitter in pink and black. I love bar glitter, however, the bits in this one tend to stick up if you aren't careful. Just make sure you manipulate them a little. If you missed out on OPI On Pinks & Needles, Claire's Sequins is the alternative you wanna go for, except this one is more fun.

The photo is kind of blurry on this one, I apologize. Sometimes when I resize them, the software completely butchers the photo.

claires valentines
Claire's Valentines nail polish
Claire's Valentines is obviously a Valentine's Day nail polish. The red heart shaped glitter and the white hex glitter is just so adorable, I picked it up simply for collection reasons (I mean it's $1, that's a steal). I am happy that the red hearts don't bleed, though that would make it an anti-Valentine's nail polish with the bleeding hearts in it. Kind of a cool concept.

claires matte glitter nail polish swatches
Claire's matte glitter nail polish swatches
On the swatch photo, you can see Claire's Fluffy - a white glitter mix. I have no bottle shot of it because it looked plain white. It looks like snow.

claires rome
Claire's Rome nail polish
Claire's Rome is not a glitter polish, but oh boy, is it gorgeous. It glows on the nails. Rome is a duochrome-ish turquoise metallic piece, it shifts from dark blue to light teal. If you are on a hunt for the ultimate summerry ocean / sea-colored nail polish, this one is for you.

claires liquid metal nail polish
Claires liquid metal nail polishes - Liquid Metal Purple and Liquid Metal Rose Gold
I also bought two of the liquid metal nail polishes, and turns out that the Claire's liquid metals are exact dupes for the Sally Hansen Color Foil polishes. Both of them cover in one coat, but I used two layers to deepen the colour. You need to shake foil nail polishes! These ones are friendly to shake in the sense that you only need to shake them for a minute to get even colour.

Claire's Liquid Metal Rose Gold and Purple



This little butterfly dude was helping me to photograph the nail polishes above, it usually likes to sit on my shoulders too. It's weird. Pics were taken at the end of last October, when the weather was sadly hot with the ridiculous temperature of 29-30°C. Poor butterfly couldn't quite understand the hot weather either.


Have you tried Claire's unique glitter polishes yet? Which one is your favourite in this haul?
Also, please let me know if you would like to see these nail polishes in separate manicures.

I bought the products with my own money.

Realash Eyelash Enhancing Serum | Review + Comparison

realash eyelash enhancing serum

I will write about the Realash eyelash enhancer today. I've done more than one treatment sessions, so I will share my thoughts and show before and after photos as well.


realash eyelash enhancer packaging
Realash eyelash enhancer - comes in lovely packaging
There are many eyelash serums around nowadays. Back in the day, the most popular ones were made by LiLash and Latisse, you probably know about them. They were rather popular among American youtubers. 

In 2014, Realash showed up in the European beauty industry, and that's how I became familiar with the brand.

Comparison to castor oil:
The only eyelash conditioning stuff I have tried before was castor oil, which works alright. It gives you more lashes rather than length. My problem with castor oil is that after a while, my lashes start to grow above my lashline, on my actual eye lid, really close to the lashline. It was barely noticeable, but the little lashes were in the way of where you would apply your eyeliner. Same applied to my hair growth: baby hair started to grow on my forehead, close to my hairline. 

If I had to compare the two, the Realash serum gives you length in a shorter time frame, while castor oil gives you more lashes of the same length, and the result needs more time to show up. 

realash.hu

Even though the packaging is different now, I received mine in a lovely bright lime and pink coloured box. The serum itself comes in a little gray box, and it looks like your average liquid eyeliner with a skinny eyeliner brush.

realash eyelash enhancer
Realash eyelash serum
There is 3ml product in the tube, which doesn't seem a lot, however, I've done 3 full treatments so far and 1/3 of the product is still left. That's surprising, isn't it?

realash serum

I started my first treatment session in 2014, so that's why I've done it 3 times so far. They say that the results show up after 14 days, but the serum needs 30 days to work for full results. Even though you're supposed to, I didn't apply mine every night at the beginning. It took me a good 6 to 8 weeks to see full results, but again, I often forgot to apply it every night.

realash serum
Realash eyelash enhancer brush
The skinny brush is very easy to use and it gives just the right amount of product so you don't soak the lashline. You apply it like regular liquid liner, to the base of your lashes. You can read about it on the photo below.

realash application
Realash application

The Realash lash enhancer has rather nice ingredients. Since I've become such an ingredient freak, I am very pleased about it.

realash ingredients
Realash ingredients
About my natural lashes:
I have rather curvy and average lashes (dare I say, they are on the longer side of average). The base of them is dark blonde, and the lash tips are white blonde, so you have to be up in my face to see the length of my actual lashes. The white blonde colour makes them look really short. The first 2 photos below are my lashes before the treatment, that's how they look naturally.


See the blonde ends?

eyelashes before realash
natural lashes before Realash treatment 
As you can see below, the product gave my lashes quite a lot of length, I was genuinely surprised by that. It also curled my lashes, and I feel like the colour darkened as well.

Don't be afraid when a couple of your lashes fall out at the beginning, that's how lash serums work. New ones will be growing in their place, and those new ones will be the longer ones, actually. Once you finish the treatment and stop using the product, you will lose a couple of lashes again, and the curliness of them will eventually decrease.

eyelashes after realash
eyelashes after Realash treatment
I took the photo above after I finished the treatment, in other words, after using the product for 2 months. The resulst lasts for a couple of weeks before the lashes go back to their previous self. You can either continue to use it, or wait a little and do further sessions like I did. I started my 4th treatment session a couple of days ago. I started to use the Realash serum in 2014, so if you do the math, you can figure out that I do 2 sessions a year. I am very pleased with the look of my lashes this way.


Two things you need to be aware of are the following:
The product stings if it gets in the eye. Crying is not recommended while wearing it, and I'm guessing that's why you need to apply it before you go to sleep. I happened to cry in the evening, so it sure does sting when that happens.

The second thing worth mentioning is that the skin gets slightly darker in a thin line where you apply the product. I'm not sure if everyone's skin gets darker, but mine did. I remember that LiLash did the same thing to other people, so I guess this is another eyelash serum thing. The darkness goes away after a while.

If you are interested, you can read more about Realash on their official website, and they have a Hungarian website as well. (The links are NOT affiliate links!)

Catrice Zensibility Nail Polish - Sheer Silence | Opaque Pale Pink!

catrice zensibility sheer silence nail polish

Today, I am going to show you an opaque pale pink nail polish from the recent Catrice Zensibility limited edition. Opaque pale pink nail polishes are hard to come by, so this post is for you if you are looking for one.

Catrice Zensibility Sheer Silence nail polish
I purchased this beauty almost 2 weeks ago (!), so basically they put it on display a lot earlier than it was expected. (In Hungary, it is supposed to be available from the middle of May). The entire Zensibility collection is stunning, but unfortunately I could only afford one single item from the entire collection. I hope I will be able to buy more things next month because I just looove the eye palette.

Catrice Zensibility display at Müller

The nail polishes of the collection are rather large, you get 15ml of product instead of the usual 10ml, and it is slightly more expensive as well (around 1100 HUF).


Don't let the shade name fool you, it is not a sheer nail polish. 

catrice zensibility sheer silence nail polish cap
Catrice Zensibility Sheer Silence
The cap of the Zensibility nail polishes is very long, it reminds me of the Louboutin nail polishes. Since the Zensibility collection is Asian themed, I think that the nail polish bottle was supposed to look like the calligraphy ink bottles. Nobody seems to mention that in reviews, so I do now beause I love the idea.

Unique calligraphy pen-like cap:
The cap comes apart, which was quite the surprise for me. The long brush is easy to manage, and the brush is nice and wide, ensuring a simple application. The only downside of the cap is that it doesn't close entirely, so the polish inside is quite thick. I had to use nail polish thinner to make it apply smoothly. 

By the way, don't use nail polish remover to thin out nail polishes! Never ever do that. You can buy legit thinners for very cheap, you don't want to mess up your polishes with remover.

Opacity and tone:
Sheer Silence is an opaque pale pink nail polish with just a teeny bit of peach tone to it, making it perfect for people with warm skintones who are looking for pale pinks. Don't get me wrong, it would still work on any skintone, but sometimes really cool pinks can look odd on warm skin. 

There is a straight up peach shade in the collection (called Zensible Rose), so this one is dominantly pink compared to its peach sister. It covers in 2 easy coats (once you thin it out). Bet it would be a one-coater if used without nail polish thinner.

Pale pink nail polish comparison:
Since I've been on a hunt for 2-coater pale pink nail polishes myself, I decided to compare my tiny collection of opaque pale pinks. Catrice Sheer Silence is the slightly peach-toned pale pink in the group.

Another new opaque pale pink is Happy Nails by Essence, this one is considerably cooler toned, with lavender tones to it. OPI Don't Bossa Nova Me Around is a dusty pale pink with grey tones (also, it's my favourite OPI nail polish), while OPI My Very First Knockwurst is a muted pale pink with less grey tones compared to DBNMA.

All of them are fully opaque in 2 coats.

Have you purchased anything from the Zensibility collection? Do you like pale pink nail polishes? 

You know that I am not the biggest fan of pink, but I firmly think that a pale pink nail polish is a basic item in any nail polish stash.

essence lights of orient collection review

Essence did a beautiful job on the Lights of Orient collection, everyone went crazy for it. This beautiful limited edition finally showed up in my country as well, I found an intact display 2 weeks ago. I will show the eyeshadow palette and the blush in today's review, including lots of photos.


essence lights of orient collection review
Essence Lights of Orient collection

My store must have put it out early because it wasn't supposed to be at stores 'til the middle of May. Again, I bought mine at the beginning of the month. This LE is only available at Müller, which is quite a bummer. It would have been nice to see it at Rossmann as well, so more people have access to it.

Essence Lights of Orient display (with prices / árak)

There are no testers for most of the products on the display, so I have the sad feeling that by the time I get to a Müller again, the display will be destroyed. I could only afford 4 products on the first go, but I still have my eyes on the rest of the collection. 

People like to swatch non-tester products a lot, ruining embossed products in the process. Not only do we have a limited amount, but also the ones that stay on the display will be ruined by finger swatches. It's quite sad, yet happens many times. I remember there was a snowflake highlighter in an Essence LE a while back, and all 5 of the products on the display were ruined by finger swatches. ALL of them. Not just one, but ALL of them. I would usually just still buy it and disinfect it, but if it's a product with an overspray or embossment that got completely ruined, there isn't much to do. 

essence lights of orient face powders
Essence Lights of Orient blush and bronzers

There are three absolutely beautiful face powders in the collection: one blush and two bronzers. These gems are the best part of the collection in my opinion, the embossment on the surface of the powder is unique and gorgeous. This is why I'm concerned about people swatching the non-testers, they will completely ruin the powder. 

I will review the bronzers in a separate blogpost.

Another wonderful piece of the Lights of Orient collection is the eyeshadow palette. Look at that gold and black case! There is a tester for it on the display, thank goodness.

It is an amazing palette, especially for Autumn and Winter. It includes lots of rosy tones, golds, browns and a cranberry colour as well. I went to the store with my mom, and she also said that the entire collection is basically a Fall / Winter collection, and I have to agree.

The eyeshadows have a different formula from the current smooth and silicone-packed Essence shadow formula. This palette has "oldschool" Essence eyeshadow formula if you will, kinda like the Lovely Cosmetics nude palettes. The eyeshadows are very pigmented and easy to work with. There is one matte shade only, the rest are shimmery.

I could pass the palette as a summer one if I didn't use the cranberry rosy shades, and that's what I'm gonna do probably. If you want a separate makeup look using the products, let me know.

The Essence Lights of Orient blush has a beautiful pattern on it as well. The blush itself consists of two shades: a rosy pink in the middle and a darker mauve shade around it. It has tiny shimmers to it, but it's not super noticeable on the face.

The typo kinda bugs me in the shade name, it should have been Jasmine's. What can you do. You get 7g of product, which is more than the average blush amount. You can also check the ingredients on the photo above.

The blush blends out nicely and stays put all day if applied correctly. Make sure you use a light hand because the darker shade is very pigmented.

I have to say that I haven't been this excited about an Essence collection in years, they did an absolutely amazing job with this one. I wish they made the products permanent. Everyone went hog wild for this collection, why not make it permanent, Essence? Pretty please.

I will be back with a review about the bronzers. I wanted to include them in this post, but I have way too many photos to smush them in one single review post.

Have you picked up anything from the Lights of Orient collection? Do you have your eyes on something in the LE?

I am here with the second part of my Essence Lights of Orient reviews, and today I will focus on the bronzers. I have boths shades, so I will show you a lot of photos and swatches. 



essence lights of orient bronzers

Originally, I wanted to include these bronzing powders in my first review, but I happened to take way too many photos for one single post. 

Essence Lights of Orient bronzers

The embossment on the Lights of Orient bronzers is just as gorgeous as it is on the blush. The collector is really strong in me when I stumble across such beautiful makeup items with a unique pattern on them, so I decided to get both shades, even though I was limited to 4 items from the entire collection. Did not regret this decision. 

Essence Lights of Orient bronzers - ingredients and weight 

Essence Lights of Orient bronzer
Essence Lights of Orient bronzer - 01 Sunkissed Beauty and 02 Oriental Beauty

There are two shades in the collection, both of them are neutral toned bronzers - not too orange, which is good. If you want to pick just one of them, go with the darker one. The lighter shade called Sunkissed Beauty is really light, even on my skin.  Don't get me wrong, the lighter one is still beautiful and faint on the skin, giving a natural look to the face. I just feel like that you can get more use out of the darker one, because it is buildable and even though it's not grey toned, you can do contouring with it too. The light shade is more for warming up the skin.


If you have very pale skin and you'd only use the product for a little colour, then go with the light bronzing powder. 

Honestly, if you can afford them and you're a collector, why not buy both. They are unique, and bronzer can be used in many ways.


Another feature worth mentioning is that the Sunkissed Beauty is very similar to the NYC Sunny bronzer, I know a lot of you own that one. The Essence bronzer is a little less orange than Sunny. 

Essence Lights of Orient bronzers
Essence Lights of Orient bronzers - Sunkissed Beauty and Oriental Beauty

The powder texture is very smooth and finelly milled, you will need to use a synthetic brush with it so it doesn't scratch the surface. The angled brush that comes in the collection is there for a reason.

They both blend out very nicely and are buildable in coverage, making it useful for beginners and hardcore makeup fans as well.

(in shade)

The bronzing part is matte, while the light beige dot in the middle is shimmery. Basically you get a tiny highlighter as well. I use them separately, but you can mix them together to give a subtle shine to the face. The highlighters look almost identical, so I only swatched one of them. They show up pretty well on light skin as well.

I am here with another older haul today. I want to get this out of the way, so I try to be quick with the explanations. I have a lot of eye candy for you if you like these type of hauls.



drugstore makeup haul

I purchased these products during last autumn and winter, so I did not buy them at once. Many of them were part of the Catrice and Essence clearance sale (as usual).


I bought three Essence blushes that were discontinued, and I also picked up the starry highlighter for my collection, I believe it was part of the Christmas LE. (If you didn't know, I collect unique highlighters and face powders).

Essence Sheer & Shine lipstick - 12 Candy Love
Essence longlasting lipstick - 03 Come Naturally; 01 Coral Calling; 05 Cool Nude
Lovely Cosmetics Extra Lasting matte lip cream - Nr. 1

I also picked up a handful of lipsticks, four of them were wishlist items. I've found the Catrice lippie at a clearance basket, I believe it was discontinued about 2 years ago. It has my favourite Catrice lipstick formula, so I was glad to find it.

Dexe lipbalm - Honey Peach
Catrice Rock-o-co kabuki brush
Essence Big Bright Eyes Nude eye pencil
Essence All About Matt! concealer - 20 Matt Nude (x2)

I picked up the EOS-like lipbalm at Rossmann last October, it's by the brand Dexe. The ball shaped container is rather cute, and I'm fine with a cheaper alternative. EOS balms are rather expensive here in Hungary and they are not worth that price. 

The other items are backups of my favourite products (eyeliner & concealer), so I had to buy some before they discontinued them as well. I found the brush at my local Rossmann for 50% off, we still have the entire collection right now, a year after it came out. It's nice to have a Rossmann in a small town where nobody cares about makeup, so I get to buy the fun items.

I also added eyeshadows and palettes to my collection, even though some of these were gifts by my family. Love the Lovely Naked 3 dupe and the Essence grey palette.

Moda I-shine eyeshadows
Moda I-Shine eyeshadows - Nr. 314 (iridescent pink); Nr. 325 (iridescent purple)

Picked up two more Moda eyeshadows too, I love the texture of them. They feel exactly like the L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadows, for 1/3 of the price. I believe I already talked about this in my Moda review. 

Look, I accidentally dropped one of them. I've never shattered an eyeshadow like this in my entire life, this was a first. I am always careful when handling makeup, so you bet I was furious when it slipped from my hand. I repressed it since then, it's okay now. At least it swatched beautifully. Both of them are iridescent eyeshadows.

Eveline gentle facial wash cream gel

The products on the photo above were purchased in January, I was happy to fins the blushes from the Fun Fair LE from last year (again, we still have the entire display in my store, it's incredible). The Isana lipbalm is awesome, I bought the Rose one because the Intensiv kind was sold out. The Eveline face wash is very decent as well, it smells delicious.

Catrice Lumination blush - C01 Flushed Fiction

The poor blush above was part of a Catrice Fall collection, I used the hell out of it during last autumn. I almost made the embossment disappear completely. I'm bad! I usually save my embossed products. It is a gorgeous nude blush that looks like Tarte Exposed.



I also managed to get my hands on two items from the Happy Girls Are Pretty LE from last fall, and since both of them are embossed, I haven't used them yet (maybe I never will). I wanted to review them back in October, but I changed my mind, so I am just casually putting a lot of photos of them in this post.

How To Contour Different Face Shapes | Face Chart Tutorial by Catrice

Skilfully making the most of light and shadows. Hiding small flaws and consciously altering the shape of the face – the possibilities are seemingly endless with the make-up trend “contouring”. Depending on the shape of the face, there are various tips & tricks to achieve the best results. 


Carefully applied foundation in the correct colour provides the perfect basis. To contour, use a darker shade than the skin tone to create an illusion of shadows. Lighter shades than the skin tone are ideal for setting highlights. Powdery products like the Sculpting Powder Palette achieve a natural daytime look while the Contouring Cream Palette creates stronger effects. The Highlighting Stick allows targeted, shimmering highlights and the Strobing Duo Highlighter convinces with a light, silky finish. 

The contouring guides for the different face shapes are geared towards the products from the Limited Edition “Contourious” by CATRICE, which will be available in stores from August to September 2016.

Avon Beauty Haul | Makeup, Fragrance and Skin Care

avon makeup haul

I have been ordering quite a bit from Avon lately, and the main reason is that I finally managed to find an Avon representative in my area.  Today's haul will include eyeshadow palettes, lipstick, fragrance and skin care - in other words, eye candy for fellow makeup loving gals like myself.


avon attraction perfume
Avon Attraction for Her perfume

The goodness in today's haul was purchased during last autumn, so it is a collective haul. 

I am starting the haul with the item I received from my mom for Christmas (well, I dropped hints about it) - the Attraction for Her perfume. Let me just tell you that the ad for this perfume line was hilarious, and it totally made me curious. Turns out that the scent is delicious. It's not too heavy, could be worn all year and it easily can be a fragrance for anyone. I would categorise it as a "smells like home" type scent that mixes elegance and warmth in a subtle way.

Avon Ultra Colour lipstick - Romance (Modern Romance collection)
Avon Little Black Dress roll-on perfume

I bought an Ultra Colour lipstick as well, since I've never had any regular Avon lipsticks before. The shade is a lovely everyday nude pink.

Finally, I decided to buy the infamous Little Black Dress scent in the mini roll-on version. Mind you, I had no idea about a scent, I purchased it blindly. Unfortunately, it smells heavily like white flowers, and that scent category gives me a headache. 

Many Avon perfumes smell like this particular scent, for example the entire Today Tomorrow Always scent family (I own 2 of those as well). What did I learn? Avon has a ton of white floral perfumes, and when people talk about "generic Avon perfumes", they mean these type of scents. I never understood this statement before because I always managed to buy the unique Avon scents that are absolutely incredible (such as the Lacroix Absynthe or the Milla Jovovich City Rush - now both are discontinued). 

I wish Avon could stop discontinuing truly unique scents, and cut back on the white floral ones instead. Do you see my problem?


avon true colour eyeshadow quads
Avon True Colour eyeshadow quads and 8-in-1 eye palette:
1 - Go Natural; 2 - Not So Neutral; 3 - Purple Haze; 4 - Vintage Amnesia; 5 - Smoky Plums

I purchased a bunch of Avon eyeshadow quads / palettes as well, particularly in September and October. For some reason, those two months are always filled with playing horror games and buying Avon eyeshadows - like a yearly ritual. The Avon eyeshadow formula is still one of my favourites, I have mentioned this many times before.

Avon Planet Spa Volcanic Iceland warming face mask

Another interesting product I've had my eyes on is the warming face mask from the Planet Spa Volcanic Iceland family. It really does warm up on the skin, it's quite amazing and nothing I've tried before. The scent of it is addictive, it smells like fancy massage oils in a spa (or like an elegant man in a suit - you know me, that's my favourite scent ever). 

I liked this skin care family so much that I purchased the Planet Spa Volcanic Iceland body oil as well, you will see it in the next Avon haul.

You can consider this as the first part of my Avon madness; I already photographed and edited my spring and summer Avon haul as well.

Have you bought anything recently? Let me know!

I purchased the products myself and/or were given to me as personal gifts.

Moyra Sizouze | Angel Collection

It's wedding season, so today's review will focus on a nail polish that would be a gorgeous choice for weddings - be the bride, bridesmaid or a guest. You will see many photos of Moyra Sizouze in this review; I didn't want to delete the photos just for the sake of narrowing them down.



moyra sizouze

Based on the online swatch photos on Moyra's website, I wasn't intertested in the Moyra Angel collection at all, they didn't seem any special. I happened to see them in person as well at a beauty supply store, and I was amazed. They are beautiful!

Moyra Sizouze nail polish - Angel collection


As you can see, the nail polishes of the Moyra Angel collection were inspired by different angels. All of the polishes are dainty, off-white pastel colours with the most subtle pixie dust-like gold and silver shimmer.

Moyra Sizouze - 3 coats

Thanks to the combination of the subtle sparkles and the off-white base colour, the nails look ethereal and feminine. Any of the Angel nail polishes would be suitable for weddings, they are absolutely beautiful.

Moyra Sizouze nail polish

Moyra Sizouze is a very light pastel pink colour with gold and silver microshimmer. Imagine a white base that only has 2 drops of pink in it - that's Sizouze.  


Just by examining the bottle in the store, the formula seemed opaque, that was one of the reasons I decided to buy it. Unfortunately the formula of Sizouze is underwhelming, 3 coats are needed for full opacity, you might even need a 4th coat if you have really long nails. It is very patchy in 2 coats.

Moyra Sizouze - 3 coats 


The longevity was average / nice, my apocalypse-proof top coat makes sure polishes don't chip on me quickly.

I prefer colour over formula, so the fact that I needed 3 coats didn't bother me much. 

Do you like feminine, fairy-like nail polishes?

I bought the product myself.
