VELVET MATTES

SPRING LIPS

Hello lovelies,

I know I promised you this blog post ages ago but I was really busy so I just could not find some free time to take pictures of each lipstick shade and then edit them and so on. You get it.

But I did manage to take some pictures of the shade that is perfect for spring.

So, these new lipsticks from Avon are called True Supreme Nourishing Lipsticks.

To be honest, the best products from Avon are lipsticks (in my humble opinion).

These ones were love at first sight because of the rose gold details, and you know how much I love rose gold, so yeah. The range of shades is really nice. There are 15 shades, that vary from pinks, reds, purples and some nudes. The lipstick inside the bullet looks like marble, as it is the combination of lipstick pigment and nourishing balm. They are very shiny and nourishing. The texture is really creamy and buttery. If you are one of those who likes sheer and light lipsticks these are just made for you. I am more into the matte lipsticks but these ones would be really nice for summer.

Sariayu (Martha Tilaar)

If you haven't heard of Martha Tilaar, you should definitely check her out. I wrote about other make up brand named PAC  that Martha Tilaar owns. She is the director and owner of Sariayu cosmetics as well. I will introduce you to some of the products from Sariayu range.

First of all, for those who do not know who Martha Tilaar is, here are some interesting facts:

• She is Indonesian president and owner of Martha Tilaar Group, that manufactures and distributes makeup and cosmetics. Her cosmetics have been produced in four different factories, employing over 5000 employees, sold mainly in Indonesia, but also in Europe, Africa and North America.

• Sariayu make up is commited to totally natural beauty care. It offers wide range of products, that are perfect for tropical climate, and they are all made out of natural ingredients, processed by modern technology. 
• It is suitable for warmer climate because of Indonesian women and the place they live in. As they are also modern women, that like make up and take care of their face and body, Sariayu tried to assist those women the best it can. 

Although I do not live in that kind of environment, and I do not have the same skin tone as Indonesian women, I find the natural ingredients perfect for my sensitive skin, and all the colors could be used in some way, no matter how pale I am. I could always use the darker colors for some diverse and vibrant make up looks. Make up should be also playful and fun, right? :)

p.s. I haven't tried the products yet, so stay tuned for some make up looks and reviews in the future, using some of my favourites from the collection.

Avon Matte Lipsticks

Hello lovelies,
I have recently posted picture on my Instagram of new matte lipsticks from Avon, and I promised to make swatches and review about them, so here you go.

I have tried them on only while doing shoot and swatches, so I can not guarantee that they will last a long time on your lips. I will have to wear them outside for a couple of hours to tell about their lasting performance :)

First of all, full name of these brand new lipsticks by Avon is True Color Perfectly Matte Lipsticks. There are fifteen shades in total, so everyone can find the perfect shade.

Packaging is really nice, unlike any other lipstick that I own from Avon. The tube is similar in shape to any other Avon lipstick packaging, but the tube comes in black matte finish, which is really nice.

I really like the shades I got. I think if I were to choose the shades from the whole collection, that I would choose these 4 exactly.

My general opinion about these lipsticks is that they are really creamy for a matte lipstick. When you apply them, they do not have that strange matte feeling. I would say that these are semi mat rather that matte. Except one shade. So, I think that not every shade has the same texture. The dark ones I tried were so creamy, and really hydrating, whereas the nude one was almost patchy. As you could see from the picture, it made my lips look a little bit dry, although, my lips underneath were super hydrated. It is about the finish. This neutral shade has the patchy dry finish, and it is not the one I liked the most.

Unlike some of the matte lipsticks I own, these lipsticks are really easy to remove. They also smell really nice.

Avon newbies

Hello lovelies,
here are a couple of products from Avon, that I recently received. There are some really nice stuff such as lipsticks. I'm always keen on a good lipstick. If you ask a woman about her must have make up product, most of them answer mascara, concealer or foundation. Mine is lipstick. Although I'm not wearing the lipstick all the time, I'll always choose some nice shade of lipstick, if I decide to put some make up, and I already feel done :D

So here they are. Not fully tested but there are a couple of my faves, although I haven't wore them outside, except from swatching on my hands.

Drugstore lipsticks

Hello lovelies,
as a huge fan of lipsticks, I thought to share with you my drugstore collection. I'm not a huge fan of lipgloss, even though I use it from time to time, mostly during spring and summer. But for me, lipstick is crucial beauty product. When a woman is asked about her ultimate must have beauty product, most of them answer-concealer, mascara and foundation. My answer is lipstick. I can go out for days without any make up on, but I would always have a lipstick with me. Lipstick can be worn on its own in a beautiful way, but it can be perfect touch to a full face make up.

Nowadays, wide range of lipsticks is growing so fast, that you just can not decide which one to choose. There are too many great shades from different brands. There are too many great formulas. No more drying lipsticks. We can see that many brands work on the moisturizing ones, but still pigmented enough to be different than lip balm. I'm just crazy about lipsticks, and can not decide if I prefer lipstains, velvet matte or moisturizing ones. Drugstore lipsticks are inexpensive and amazing!
My must have shade is, of course, Red. But I love every shade. You can not expect anything else from make up junkie. From trendy brights, classic nudes, vampy dark purple and burgundy shades, to black ones. I love them all. Now my favourite drugstore lipsticks are by Rimmel, Bourjois and L'oreal. Rimmel ones are so affordable and amazing.

Here is my collection ;)
