*ESSENCE Colour Boost Mad About Matte Liquid Lipstick 05 Dangerously Yours Unexpectedly I really love this. When these launched I didn't devote them a second of attention because I thought it's going to be some lame not-really-matte formula like L'Oreal's Lip Paint Matte s, but this is properly matte in a minute or two, it applies fully opaque and the colour is gorgeous. It's the shade I wanted Maybelline's Lover to be, as it's a similar mauve shade, but much pinker and warmer. It's on my lips in the picture with the Essence highlighter. 2.99 € *MILANI Gilded Desires Eye & Face Palette Review in Slovene (I'll have an English version here too) Contains 12 matte & shimmering metallics eyeshadows, plus two highlighters. This is a crazy pigmented palette and there are not many eyeshadows I've tried that would have such an intense colour pay-off so quickly. Formula is very soft and when I pushed a bit too hard with a brush when I was swatchin...

I remember these pearls from way back when I just started getting into makeup, though I'm not sure if they are still exactly the same thing, as I never owned any. I picked a blush shade called Natural Pink, but the box states these are a bronzer (with this name of the shade on the box) and I think a separate bronzer exists too as it was marketed separately in the catalogue - it's kind of confusing, but if you get this shade, this is what you get and two more blush shades exist. Texture: These have a strong pigmentation, which I did not expect at all and I was sure I'll need my densest brush because I won't be able to pick up much, but these were a big surprise. I need to use very little or I get a strong streak of colour. Formula of these applies smoothly and even that overly applied streak was blended away easily. They don't apply patchy and the colour is evenly mixed. Finish as you can see from the swatch is satin with no shimmer.  Shade: I have the shade Natura...

One of the newly released Giordani Gold products is a range of MasterCreation lipsticks which are available in ten shades. This formula promises an anti-ageing effect, it contains a moisturising biometric peptide and has a SPF 20. It's a standard lipstick, so not my usual preferred matte finish, but I liked this straight away. Texture: Formula reminds me of Kiko's Romantic Rebel lipsticks which was a LE, but it's one of the best non-mattes I tried. It's neither overly creamy like most non-matte formulas tend to be and it's not too waxy like old-school lipsticks, so it just glides on the lips with ease, but you get a very controlled application that looks neat enough at the edges. It's a very light formula on the lips and not drying, though it's not a very moisturising formula, so not a substitute for a lip balm like some very creamy-shiny lipsticks. Finish is satin with some shine. Shade: Delicate Pink is a light-medium peachy pink, just a simple and wear...

Giordani Gold is Oriflame's luxurious line of products, mostly targeted at more mature skin types and I got to pick my share of their products to try at their relaunch in November's campaign. MasterCreation foundation promises an anti-aging effect and a natural finish, it contains no alcohol or oils and it comes in seven shades - the lightest one is luckily very pale. Oriflame was one of the first beauty/makeup brands that I've tried and I still remember my first dips into the beauty world fondly, even though I had to idea how to even apply anything properly (no Youtube tutorials back then. Kids, you're so lucky nowadays). Texture: This is a creamy, yet light foundation that reminds me of some tinted moisturisers or BB creams, but with more coverage. It's quite a moisturising formula that'll perform especially well on dry skin. It blends nicely, but I find it's best to use a sponge as other methods (fingers or a brush) need extra time. It feels light on the...

MAKEUP *ORIFLAME Giordani Gold MasterCreation Foundation SPF 18 Rose Porcelain Cool Oriflame launched a few new Giordani Gold products and this foundation is their newest formula. The only Oriflame base I had was a tinted moisturiser about 10-15 years ago (it was my very first such product) and I remember it being very orange, so I was a bit concerned Oriflame's shade ranges run dark. Good news: they actually have shades for us Snow Whites. I was very happy to discover that and I believe this is the first PR foundation whose shade actually fits me. This formula is promises an anti-aging effect and a natural finish, it contains no alcohol. It feels light on the skin and it provides about light-medium coverage that can be built up. Finish is dewy-glowy, as you might expect for a foundation meant for mature skin and it's indeed as promised natural looking, so it's one of those foundations that it's hard to tell you're wearing anything, but your skin looks better. It...
