Essence Lavender Blossom and Lady bird review and swatches

Hello!

Yesterday my mom brought home a gift set from Essence with an ''eau de toilette'' and two nail polishes (it says on the box that they are limited). The fregnance is called ''Like a first day of spring'' but I won't be talking about that today because it's my mothers.

She didn't like the polishes much and therefore they are mine now :)) One of them is a base coat and the other one is a top coat. Here are the swatches:

Lavender blossom (with Lady bird on index finger) on sunlight

Lavender blossom (with Lady bird on index finger) with flash

As you can see Lavender blossom is a nice purple/lavand pastel color and the Lady bird is a top coat with purple glitter and shimmer in it (I don't know why do they look silver on the picture with flash).

I like them both, i think they are perfect for spring!

Oh, let me just tell you that you will need 2 coats of Lavander blossom to make it look nice. But it does dry quickly so it's not a big deal.
Btw, I find it really interesting that the brush on these polishes is quite large and floppy, but it is easy to work with once you get the hang of it .

That's it for today, have fun (I am because the sun has finally decided to show up here) !

H&M Lip gloss review (Pink and Beige)

Hello!

Today I will be doing a review of two lip glosses from H&M, so if you are interested in finding more keep on reading :)

I bought the two shades that are avalible in stores called Pink and Beige.

As you can see the packaging is cute, they are quite small but I like that because I never use my lip gloss 'till the end anyways. Her is the picture of the wand:

The wand is small as well and I don't like that because it's harder to apply lip gloss on your lips but it's not a major problem.
So here are the swatches on my hand:

Beige on the left and Pink on the right. You can see that they are both pretty much sheer, Pink has a little bit more color. And you can see that the Pink shade has some small glitter in it and Beige is all shimmery (is this a even a word? :P ).

And here they are on my lips:

Beige

Pink

You can see some difference on the pictures.

Texture? I don't like sticky lip glosses so I am not a big fan of these from that point of view. On the other hand they might stay on yor lips longer then those non-sticky ones.

Smell? OMG I love the smell of these. I am bad at describing smells but I guess the Beige has more sweet smell and the Pink is more fresh. They both smell awesome and it's not too much :)

Price? Woohoo ;) I told you this before they are 0,95€ (1,25$) each.

All in all they are not perfect and I wouldn't say they are my favourites but I think that they are worth the price and good for every day :)

That's it for today, have fun!

Mini haul (New Yorker, H&M, Tally Weijl)

Hello!

So yesterday I went shopping and found some great deals and I want to share them with you.

I am sooo happy when I go shopping and find something that I love and when I look at the price tag and the item is on sale...well it's a happy day :))

So first I went to New Yorker (they always have things on sale there) and bought some new pants (or jeans or whatever) in a nice floral pattern. Besides that I bought a black sweater (it's a really interesting model because it's shorter in the front and longer in the back and it has really interesting sleeves (kinda like those bat wing sweaters)). I like those items a lot, and who knows I might even do an OOTD.
Here is the picture:

And the prices? Awesome! Pants were originally 39,95 € (52,77$) but they were on sale and were only 4,95 € (6,53$). And the sweater was originally 19,95 € (26,35$) but was on sale for 2,95 € (3,9$).

After that I went to H&M and bought some lip glosses (one in orange-coral color and the other one in pink). I haven't tried them out yet but I will keep you posted on how they turn out. They were only 0.95 € (1,25$) each. And lastly I went to Tally Weijl and found a wonderful wallet (it's big and I love that because I never have enough room for my cards and stuff) for 9,95€ (13,14$).

That's it for today, have fun guys!

Essence 3D eyeshadow (04 irresistible caramel cream) review

Hello!

I've been thinking about this blog for quite some time now and because I went to the drugstore today and bought some new products I decided to just start bloging.

So as I said I bought some new products and I will be reviewing them in the next couple of days. All products are from Essence (I really like this brand in general because they are afordable and good quality).

    
Eseence came out with some new 3D eyeshadows so I decided to test one out. I picked the shade 04 irresistible caramel cream.
 ''3D-duo-eyeshadow, irresistible effects & long-lasting texture, apply wet for an even more intense effect.'' is what it says on the package.
It costs 3,09 € (4,13$).

The eyeshadow looks like this:

The eyeshadow has two sides one is a pearl(with a hint of pink) color and the other one is brown. They are both shimmer eyeshadows (if I see corectly the brown one has some gold shimmer in as well).
I can't say anything about this 3D thing, I think it's just a normal eyeshadow :)

And now on to swatches:

On the left I applied it dry. And then i decided to try and see how does it look if you apply it wet (on the right) and something strange happened. The pearl one wasn't so pigmented anymore (which is the opposite of what I was expecting) and the brown one remained the same.

All in all it's a nice product and I like the colors, I just really don't recomend you to apply it wet. ;)

Have fun!
