Sephora, Long-lasting eyeliner in Fancy Blue 13

Hello everyone,
It's me again. I'm busy with uni, gym, nail polishes, blogging and planning the summer...drawing has to wait (I've got a feeling that it's going to be a very refreshing break). Today I've got a lovely eyeliner to show you. Everyone who knows me can tell that I'm addicted to black eyeliner (apart from lipsticks)... but a few days ago  I realised that black is somewhat too heavy for the summer (I'm going to be out a lot, so I should resemble a human being, otherwise I wouldn't bother). Since it is a crazy colour, I decided to get something on a budget (just in case). I'm really happy with my choice though. It's very intense, dries quickly, stays and doesn't shift for the whole day (I use it over eyeshadow base, I'll try to wear it without any base soon and will probably update this entry). I'm in love with this shade. I'm also in love with another blue eyeliner by Make Up Forever, which is like sky blue and has a bit of shimmer...I think I can't live without, so I'll wait for -20% in Sephora. Yay!








See ya xx

NYX lipsticks II

Hi all,
Whoa, I've been off for a month. Not sure if anyone noticed? I wanted to write about some things, but I didn't feel like writing at all...well, there's no point in forcing onself, right? A proper break is always refreshing. I have some new make up stuff (Mac mineralize blushes, Inglot eyeshadows) ... I think I'll post swatches soon (I'm postponing drawing and painting till summer, my studies are annoying and I'm usually too moody to draw...). Anyway, the lipsticks! I got another batch just after Easter and I'm all in love.

They look a bit the same indeed and I got scared a little, but on the lips - it's a whole new story.
Fig, Doll, Off the beaten path, India, Berry
Fig is a lovely coral shade, it's rather light but at the same time it's pretty bold in real life, so I guess it's not for everyone.

Doll - it's like a dusty dark pink, reddish...reminds me of wine colour a little, but less deep. I find it a bit dark, heavy to use daily and don't really know what kind of make up matches it, so it's my least favourite of the bunch. Still, it's a lovely shade.



Off the beaten path (Black label) - it's a soft reddish colour, very fresh, somewhere between pink and orange. This is more of a doll colour, I'd say!


India (Black label) - I can't really swatch it. Pale lipsticks, with a lot of white, are clearly not for me. It looks lovely mixed with a clear lip gloss...will take photos soon.


Berry (Black label) - another lovely shade. It's a soft red again, on a cool side...but it's very subtle, not like those classic red shades. I can't really tell what it is that makes it so wearable. Maybe there is a hint of white to it or something like that?
