Review & Swatches : NYX Lipliner pencil & Ultra Pearl Mania Eyeshadow



Pozdravljeni! :) Leto je naokoli in zopet je čas da napišem še kakšno oceno izdelkov :) Danes vam bom predstavila dva NYX izdelka, ki sem ju prejela od MojaDrogerija.si :) Prvi izdelek je črtalo za ustnice, NYX Lipliner pencil v odtenku 810 Natural. Drugi izdelek je senčilo za veke, Ultra Pearl Mania, v odtenku 23 Walnut Pearl :) Kot že zgornja slika kaže in kot lahko sklepate iz imen izdelkov, sem izbrala nežne in naravne odtenke za testiranje. Naj omenim da sta to moja prva NYX izdelka sploh :) Seveda je zelo fajn tudi podatek, da so NYX izdelki CRUELTY FREE ;)

Najprej o črtalu za ustnice. Klasična barvica s črnim pokrovčkom, na dnu ima barvo oznako, da lahko že takoj vidite odtenek. Šiljenje barvice poteka brez problemov, samo črtalo ni premehko in se ne lomi ali kruši. Odtenek ki sem ga izbrala je nežen, nude in svetel. Spominja me na "dusty rose" odtenek, ne vem kako bi to ime prevedla, tako da upam da si lahko predstavljate. Če ne pa poglejte swatche ;) Mazljivost je dobra, sama nisem imela nobenih težav. Odtenek sem si enostavno in lepo namazala na ustnice, barva je brez problemov lepa in enotna. Edino kar smatram za minus tega izdelka je, da ne ostane dolgo na ustnicah. Barvico sem nanesla na pripravljene ustnice, brez kakšne premastne podlage in brez kakega balzama počez, ker sem se bala da bo premastno in da se bo samo stopilo dol. No to se je zgodilo v vsakem primeru, barva je izginila iz mojih ustnic že po 2 urah, brez da bi vmes jedla ali pila. Torej barvica sama po sebi na meni res ne zdrži, kar je res škoda, ker mi zelo lepo nežno poudari ustnice. V kombinaciji z šminko v podobnem odtenku je rezultat definitvno boljši, 4 ure brez problemov, potem pa se že pozna da barva začne kar izginevati... Nisem preizkusila nobenih drugih odtenkov, da bi lahko primerjala, tako da če bom, bom definitvno tudi na blogu sporočila svoje vtise. :)








In sedaj še o senčilu :)  V majhnem okroglem valju dobite 6 ml senčila. Odpiranje je enostavno, posodica in pokrov na navoj. Odtenek se imenuje 23 Walnut Pearl in kot že ime predlaga je odtenek res zelo perlast in svetleč. Naj se najprej vrnem nazaj k embalaži. Rada imam majhne in praktične embalaže, vendar tale meni ne ustreza. Namreč ne uspe mi, da bi lahko odprla posodico brez da bi se mi vsaj malo pigmenta streslo okoli. Nima nobene zaščite, kot na primer Essence pigmenti, tako da se vse takoj vsuje. Še preden odvijem, se pigment že nabira po celem pokrovčku in potem vse razstresem :S Res škoda da embalaža ni malo bolj praktična za nerodne uporabnike ;) Odtenek je orehasto- bakrene barve, z zlatim pridihom in precej svetleč. Na vekah izgleda zelo svetel in precej bolj bakreno-zlatkast, kot pa rjav. Imela sem velike težave z slikanjem tega odtenka, in niti ena slika ni res uspela pokazati odtenka takega kot je. Od blizu je res zelo močna topla barva, od daleč in na slikah deluje bolj svetleče bronasto in sploh ne tako toplo rjavkasto... kar se tiče pigmentiranosti je super, močna in se nanaša brez problemov. Ker je pigment v prahu je seveda treba biti pazljiv pri nanosu, da se vam ne vsuje pod očmi. Obstojnost senčila je tudi dobra, imela sem ga v službi cel dan brez problemov, ni zbledelo stran ali kaj podobnega. :)






Povzetek mojih izkušenj - oba izdelka sta sicer dobra ampak imata tudi oba kakšno pomankljivost, ki me odvrne od nadaljnjega nakupa ravno zato, ker imam toliko drugih izdelkov, ki se obnesejo precej bolje. Vsaj na meni :) Nismo vsi enaki in vse ne ustreza vsem, tako da tile mene res niso zelo impresionirali. Vseeno bi še kdaj poskusila kak drug odtenek črtala za ustnice, medtem ko za senčila se bom vedno raje vračala k Sleek paletkam ;)

Ste tudi vi poskusili NYX izdelke? Imate morda kakšno priporočilo kaj bi bilo fajn stestirati?

Upam da vam ocena pride prav in najlepša hvala za pozornost ;)

Love, UniqaPoly

And now more photos :)



I got the OPI nail polish second hand, and it was practically new, almost never used. I love it, such a perfect shade and very good coverage with just one coat! I bought Essie in DM store, I had a 50% discount :P Haven't tried it yet, I hope it will be ok. The nail stickers I got when I traded some of my stuff I didn't use anymore.



Revlon Crush is the first one I have from the Just Bitten Kissable balm stains, I haven't tried any other shade yet. This one was also second hand, since I think they are a bit too expensive here, almost 11euros.. and frankly, I don't like the other shades much, this one was the best from the range.. The perfume was also second hand, but it was barely open, so I had no objections and bought it. I love this collection, I love the scent of roses, so I thought this was a good deal :) Neutrogena lip balm I got at DM store, also on discount 50%, because I donated 50 of my DM points to their cherity cause. :) Haven't opened it yet, but a friend recommended this is a really good balm that actually does what it promises :)



I bought these three on Click2Chic web store, I had 30% discount :P I always wanted to try the Skinlights, so I was tempted and decided to buy this one :) I have been using it every day since I got it, along with my Revlon Nearly Naked foundation and I have been quite satisfied with this one :) Gives a really nice base :) Also I decided to try some lipglosses by Revlon, because in the previous two months I bought a lot of their Lip Butters. I chose the darkest two shades, Fatal Apple and Berry Allure. I watched swatches from Temptalia and I fell in love. These two are quite sheer and gentle, not at all like they seem in the bottle. Since I expected it I was not dissapointed. I love to use both, I find them very suitable for work :)




I know this one shouldn't be on this lits, I don't need it at all... but look at the cute packaging!!! I simply fell in love with this one and had to try it :) I decided to buy the Dakar shade, not the London one ( that one had more purply shades in it). Deborah is one of my favourite brands for eyeshadows, also for lip glosses, so I expected this to be a good product. I only swatched it so far, never tried it yet, but it looks very promising. I bought it at DM store, another 50% off discount, otherwise these costs almost 20e, which is way too much for me... You get 3 eyeshadows in it, two lippies, two cream shadows, 1 multipurpose powder, 1 blusher, 1 bronzer and 1 applicator, also a small mirror :)




Next is by Essence, it's shimmer powder from their latest Ice Ice Baby limited edition, which you can still get in DM stores in Slovenia, Muller already had it. I got the powder as a winner of a giveaway on Facebook, from Revija Eva :) I only tested it so far, but honestly this does not impress me at all.. I loved the snowflake design, but that was all.. I had an obssession with snowflakes for like a month, so I was ready to buy something from this collection, but seeing it in store.. it really didn't impress me enough, so I didn't get myself anything else.




This is my first The Body Shop product, I never had anything from them before. I actually got this through a friend, second hand, but it was completely new and originaly packaged :P I have already opened it and smelled it and tried it :) It is great, sweet chocolate! A real bargain for all chocoholics :P So far I've been loving this, but I mainly use it at home, since it's in a pot and I can wash my hands at home more regularly :)




Another chocolate lip balm, this one is by Oriflame. I love this one too, it actually helps my lips, but the scent here is too strong and I like the one from TBS more. But this one has a prettier packaging :P Also got this from second hand, but it was again completely new and originaly packaged.. so in my opinion, these two were a really good deal!




Another  Christmas gift to me from the company where I work :) I got something else too, but I gave that away and used it as a gift, since I really don't need so many L'Occitane products :P I still have an untouched shower gel from last Christmas, so I really should be using that first... So I got the new La Collection de Grasse, Fleur d'Or & Acacia body milk which smells amazing! I love the scent so much I am actually thinking of getting myself the small perfume from the collection, the 7,5ml one... this is really an amazing smell, go check it out if you haven't already :P Also I got this one minute hand scrub which I never had before, but I was told this is amazing and makes your hands really soft and smooth! Can't wait to try it :P




Onto my big Essence haul.. I got this on a special web site, with coupons, discounts and such.. so I decided to buy it. I will use a lof ot these in my future giveaway, which will be announced for my birthday, but it will be only Facebook giveaway :) Stay tuned, keep reading my blog and my Fb page in January :P




Another Christmas gift to me from a friend,  the amazingly smelling AVON body mist and Essence foundation. Will see how the second one works for me, but I love the body mist, a really nice smell. On me it's strong enough to be used just so, as a perfume. :)




I got these two products by NYX from MojaDrogerija to test them and review them. :) I haven't gotten around yet to write the post, but I have already used this and I like the shade of the pigment very much, but the lip liner doesn't suit me well... more proper review coming soon :)




Another L'Occitane product that I got as a gift for Saint Nicolas :) I haven't tried it yet, but again I was told by others who already had it that this is a great product, good as a hand wash or body wash, whatever you prefer to use it for :) The hand cream I bought myself, DM store but of course :) It isn't expensive, something like 2,25 euros... It doesn't have a specific or strong scent, but it really nourishes the hands. However, I find it too greasy to use it at work, so I have it at home on my desk and use it there :)




The last product I got the past year was this lip lacquer by ArtDeco, in shade 30. The shade is a perfect red, with full coverage, well pigmented and with a glossy finish. I love the shade, it suits me a lot but it is quite strong, a statement lippie. :) Another product that I got second hand, but it was totally worth it! I never had before any of the ArtDeco lip products and I really like this one. :) Now I know for the future, I will definitely try some more of these :)




I didn't include all of my gifts from December because they were too many... I got a book, voucher for whatever I want to buy in Qlandia, scented candles, some warm socks and some more comfy socks.. a lot of sweets, a board game to play together with my bf& friends, make up related stuff I posted here,  and some more stuff :) It was all in all a great month, that slipped by me very fast since I was at work a lot... so I am kinda happy December 2013 is over and I can finally move on with my own plans :) Thank you all for the lovely gifts and surprises :) I hope you also had a nice month, nice holidays and lots of lovely gifts :)

Thanks for reading!

A pure desire for life – that’s CATRICE. The brand is heading into the Spring/Summer 2014 season with this feeling in mind and inspired by the catwalks of the fashion capitals of the world! Available from February 2014.

Available in matt, shimmering, pearl or holographic and a total of 24 fabulous colours. 

Absolute Eye Colour Quattro - Colour Quartet. The Absolute Eye Colour Quattro is presented with a brand new concept. From now on, it focuses on four perfectly aligned shades from one family of colours. This results in subtle colour gradients and fine hues that can be blended together for a natural look. Starting with combinations in understated antique pink, trendy purple and fashionable petrol. 



Absolute Bright Eyeshadow Palette NEW - Pretty in Pastel. The latest trend, captured in one palette. Six wearable pastel shades and a practical duo-applicator offer accumulated know-how: soft textures with a high colour-dispersion, long durability and various effects ranging from slightly shimmering to extremely pearly. Pastel is making a statement! 



Kohl Kajal - Shining Eyes. The wooden pencil’s velvety soft mine gently glides across your eyelids to give your eyes a beautiful bright look. Now the popular Kohl Kajal is also available in fashionable blue-violet and refreshing mint. Two shades that each shine individually and can be combined for a fantastic, fresh look, too. Available in a total of shades. 

Long Lasting Eye Pencil Waterproof - Spring Essential. Highly pigmented and colour intense, the Long Lasting Eye Pencil Waterproof is sure to make your eyes stand out from the crowd. Its smooth texture is waterproof and long-lasting as well as particularly simple and accurate to apply. The pencil has a twist mechanism for the mine and a practical, integrated sharpener. Available in a total of eight colours and now – to go with your summer tan – in an iridescent petrol and a pearly nude shade.

Eyeliner Pen Waterproof NEW - Blue Water. Eyeliners have to meet high demands: the colour must be intense, the texture fast-drying, long-lasting and – especially in the summer when humidity is high – waterproof. The new Eyeliner Pen Waterproof fulfils these requirements and additionally offers a fine felt tip for accurate application. Available in striking black.

Eyebrow Stylist - A Feast for the Eyes. The Eyebrow Stylist comes in a practical pen-shape and convinces with its simple yet accurate application. It helps create a beautiful frame for your eyes and shapes your brows by integrating the powdery texture into the brow with the brush for a natural finish as well as a perfect arch. Now available in a cool, dark blonde and a total of three shades. 

Eyebrow Lifter NEW - Open Eyes. Applied directly underneath the eyebrows, the light rosé pencil with light-reflecting pigments optically lifts your brows for a radiant, wide-awake look. The creamy, ultra-soft texture is easy to apply and blend. The jumbo pen looks great too thanks to its floral, feminine design. Make-up expertise with a fascinating play of light.






Ultimate Lash Multimizer Volume Mascara NEW - Multimizer with Multitalent. Large elastomer brushes are the trend as they capture more mascara and professionally separate your lashes, too. The result: an accurate application for spectacular volume with a multiplying factor. No clumping. The large, conic packaging in an elegant matt black with an eye-catching colour print reveals that there are two versions of this wonderful mascara coming on the market: Black and Ultra Black.

Glamour Doll Curl & Volume Mascara NEW - Curvy. There’s a new addition to the successful Glamour Doll family with the Curl & Volume Mascara. With its curvy fibre brush and deep black texture, this new mascara provides expressive volume as well as a long-lasting curl. The fibre brush reaches every single lash and covers it in texture to create the popular doll eye effect.

Lash Couture – False Lashes NEW - More is More. False lashes are absolutely essential for perfect eye make-up styles this season. That’s why CATRICE is offering two versions for incomparably long, thick and voluminous lashes: individual lashes for a natural look and an eyelash band for a truly glamorous feeling. The false lashes include a mini glue. The XXL lash look is quickly becoming a must-have. 







Made To Stay Smoothing Lip Polish NEW - Highclass Hybrid. Three benefits in one product: the colour of a lipstick, the durability of a lip stain and the shine of a gloss. A new, innovative premium product is joining the range with the Made To Stay Smoothing Lip Polish. Six shades including soft rosé, poppy pink, classic red and trendy berry tones guarantee a burst of colour. Thanks to the soft flock applicator, an accurate application is quick and easy.

Ultimate Colour Lip Colour - On Everyone’s Lips. The highly pigmented Ultimate Colours bathe your lips in a pool of intensive colour. The ultra-smooth and long-lasting texture pampers your lips and offers a creamy finish with high coverage. There are now five colour updates including fashionable berry shades, soft pink, fire red and hibiscus. Available in a total of 16 colours.



Ultimate Shine Lip Colour - Made for Kissing. The Ultimate Shine lipsticks make a great impression with their creamy, soft texture. Sometimes plain, sometimes shimmering, they caress your lips and provide intensive moisture with a medium coverage. The results: silky lips. Available in a total of eight colours and now, inspired by the current catwalk trends, in three natural shades – berry, nude and toffee.





Longlasting Lip Pencil - Longlasting Limits! The Longlasting Lip Pencil sets colour limits, prevents lipstick from streaking and guarantees intensive colour results. The long-lasting, waterproof texture is smooth yet allows an accurate application. Practical: the wooden pencils fit comfortably in your hand and can be sharpened effortlessly when needed. Now available in a new red and a berry shade and in a total of 12 perfectly aligned colours to go with the current Lip Colour range.



Prime And Fine Pore Refining And Anti-Shine Base NEW - Next Level: High Performance. The Pore Refining And Anti-Shine Base works like a light base to minimise shine and visibly refine the pores. For a complexion that is smooth and silky-matt, but in no way dull. Applied underneath foundation, this whitish, ultra-light base improves its durability. A true beauty perfectionist. Dermatologically tested. 

Prime And Fine Anti-Red Base NEW - On a Mission for Beauty. The complementary colour green neutralises unwanted redness like small blood vessels or impurities of the skin. The results are a smooth-looking complexion and a delicate skin structure with visibly refined small lines and pores. The slightly green texture also contains tiny shimmer pigments to offer a long-lasting base with a subtle glow. Dermatologically tested. 




Prime And Fine Mattifying Powder Waterproof NEW - Full of Function. When this innovative powder comes into contact with water, the drops simply roll off the surface. Once applied on your skin, it can withstand the damp and mattifies for hours. The delicate formula with a soft filter effect ensures a visibly flawless and refined complexion. In addition, there are vitamin A and E ingredients to pamper your skin. The transparent colour adapts to every skin tone. Also practical: the integrated mirror. This powder is a true must-have when you’re on-the-go. 

Sun Glow Shimmering Bronzing Powder NEW - Sun Dance. The new Bronzing Powder creates a perfect summer tan. The velvety soft pressed powder with fine shimmer pigments ensures a fresh and radiant complexion. The 3D embossment and two perfectly aligned bronzing colours don’t just look fabulous, the two shades also blend perfectly. That’s what summer looks like! 



Multi Colour Blush - Colour Addition. This ideal combination of four blush shades skilfully accentuates your cheekbones. The result: a radiant and naturally beautiful finish. Appearing in a new colour version, the Multi Colour Blush now comes with a bright peach colour strip as an eye-catcher. Available in a total of two versions.

Defining Blush - Rosewood Cheeks. With the highly pigmented powder texture of the Defining Blush, you can emphasise your cheekbones and model the contours of your face for a fresh look. The ultra-delicate blush powder with vitamin E ingredients is easy to blend for a naturally rosy complexion. Available in a rosewood brown and a total of six colours. 




Crushed Crystals NEW - Endless Nail Dimensions. 3D effects set new limits and are the ultimate trend. The new Crushed Crystals offer a brilliant and sandy finish. You have a huge choice of fashionable shades with high coverage ranging from taupe and rosé gold to classic red, pink and coral. The fine crystals cover your nails like diamond dust to create an incomparable structure as well as an exclusive and wearable nail design. Available in a total of six shades.



Ultimate Nail Lacquer - Colour meets Technology: an innovative reservoir brush and Gloss Booster technology for an ultimate gel-like effect. Unique features for sensational results. Thirteen new colours are joining the range in the Spring/Summer Season with an unparalleled shine – thanks to the “Gloss Booster” technology specially developed for CATRICE. With the innovative reservoir brush and its optimal circular cut, you can now paint your nails with just one stroke. The intelligent fibres absorb the ideal amount of nail polish required to paint one nail. No dripping, no unnecessary mess – the reservoir brush with rounded bristles saves the colour and ensures an accurate, controlled application. Now also available with various trend effects like the iridescent Holographic Flakes, the cosmic Mono or Duo Chromes and the Metallics. No matter whether you go for nudes or bright highlights – these nail polishes are sure to make a statement. Available in a total of 40 colours. 10 ml. 




My Opinion - damn they have so many new shiny stuff!! I will probably try the new mascara, Glamour Doll Curl & Volume, I like this one best. I have always wanted to try the previous two, but never got to them. So maybe I'll just go straight to this one :) Crushed Crystals look interesting, maybe I'll try a shade or two. The mattifying waterproof powder seems very interesting, also the pore refining base :) I will defenitely get my hands on the lip products, I hope we get them here in all the shades available :)

And you? Want to try some of the newbies?

Preview: Catrice - Creme Fresh LE


Hey there again! Another preview for you, again by Catrice :) This time it's called Creme Fresh and it will be out in February and March 2013 :)


Wash-off pastels and 60’s flavour. The designers are heading into the Spring/Summer Season 2014 with sorbet shades and feminine retro silhouettes. Shift dresses, A-line skirts, blouses with round collars, cat-eye sunglasses, curved eyeliner and backcombed, up-do hairstyles à la Audrey Hepburn determine the look. Tone in tone, mint green, apricot and pink prefer to stay amongst themselves to create a delicate, sensual image. The new Limited Edition “Crème Fresh” by CATRICE presents the latest trend colours with a retro style from February to March 2014. The highlights include the Gradation Blush with gorgeous colour gradients in raspberry pink as well as the creamy Lip Balms with a semi-transparent texture. Meet the 60’s – by CATRICE. 

Gradation blush - This blush with a soft texture is a true highlight in bright raspberry pink. The fashionable colour gradation picks up on the ombré trend and – applied with a brush - it ensures a rosy, fresh look on your cheeks as well as subtly modelling the contours of your face. Available in C01 Waterloo Sunrise.

Lip Balms - The limited Lip Balms by Crème Fresh have an especially creamy texture to ensure soft and supple lips. The semi-transparent bulk has a futuristic look, while the packaging with its graphic design has the retro charm of the 60’s. The almost see-through finish comes in pink, apricot and mint green. Available in C01 Another Pink Panther, C02 Evergreen 60s and C03 The Peach Boys. 


Powdery eyeshadow - The powdery eyeshadow with a soft texture creates a subtle eye make-up with a spring-like pastel look. Four colours including elegant cream, fresh mint green, soft candy pink and intensive chocolate brown make your eyes shine as bright as the stars with a silvery pearl effect. For wide-open eyes à la Jackie O. Available in C01 Jame’s Brown, C02 Another Pink Panther, C03 Evergreen 60s and C04 So Jackie O.



Ultimate Nail Lacquer - Candy colours with ultimate coverage and ultimate shine. Perfectly aligned with this Limited Edition, four soft pastel shades as well as a bright colour highlight are storming the market with their 60’s packaging design.

The extra-broad, reservoir brush ensures an accurate application. Available in C01 The Peach Boys, C02 Make Fast At Tiffany’s, C03 Evergreen 60s, C04 Another Pink Panther and C05 Light Your Fire.




My Opinion - Mehh.. I like the Une, Deux, Trois limited edition better.. here the only thing that really appeals to me is the gradation blush and that's it. This is way to pastel for me, actually it  reminds me a lot of Candy Shock edition... not my favorite... and you?  Do you already have a big stash of pastel shades? or do you see something interesting to buy?

Thanks for reading!

Preview: Catrice . Une, deux, trois LE


Hello there! Let's start a new year with a couple of preiews :) Here's one by Catrice :)

Paris. The city of love. Culture and fashion hotspot. Highlight of the international fashion shows. Large, traditional houses and young in-labels show their designs here. For the spring season 2014: romantic fashion far from the usual clichés. Sophisticated cuts, lingerie elements and flowing fabrics with elaborate blossom applications. The designs are all bursting with confidence and couture appeal. Rosewood and smoke grey are the colours of the season. A poetic interaction of fashion trends and beauty is presented with the Limited Edition “Une, deux, trois” by CATRICE, which will be available in stores in February 2014 just in time for Valentine’s Day. The focus is on a trio of colours here: a matching blush and a lipstick in the same shade complement each nail polish. A further highlight that’s sure to make friends with every blush is the limited Mini Kabuki Brush.

Defining duo blush - The fine powder blush in two perfectly aligned shades provides a fresh touch and goes on extremely smoothly with the Mini Kabuki Brush. Five different combinations - from sophisticated nude to sensual rosewood - in perfect harmony with the lipstick and nail polish in this Limited Edition are sure to offer the right colour for every skin type. Available in C01 Meet Cherry, C02 Meet Berry, C03 Meet Pinky, C04 Meet Rosy and C05 Meet Nudy.


Mini Kabuki Brush - The premium blush kabuki has fine, dense bristles to guarantee a beautiful, even application. It captures just the right amount of blush for perfectly emphasised cheekbones. Thanks to the practical pouch packaging, you can store the little kabuki brush in your handbag quickly and easily. A practical must-have – even when you’re on the go.


Ultimate Nail Lacquer - Ultimate colour, ultimate coverage and ultimate shine. The Ultimate Nail Lacquers bring Parisian style to your nails. Five colours in line with the lipstick and blush perfect the beauty trio. Thanks to the extra-broad professional brush, the polish is quick and easy to apply. Nude shades, pink, rosé and berry – this Spring, it’s time to say “Paris-à-Porter”. Available in C01 Meet Cherry, C02 Meet Berry, C03 Meet Pinky, C04 Meet Rosy and C05 Meet Nudy.


Velvet Lip Colour - The creamy texture and velvety-matt finish of this lipstick guarantees a look that’s feminine and elegant. The colour spectrum ranges from subtle nude to poppy pink and is always perfectly aligned with a matching nail polish and blush. Très bien! Available in C01 Meet Cherry, C02 Meet Berry, C03 Meet Pinky, C04 Meet Rosy and C05 Meet Nudy.





My Opinion - I like this one! It's rosy, pinky, gentle, spring like. Smells of new beginnings... but maybe the shades will be too pastel for me. I'll try to get my hands on some of the blushes, maybe something will suit me :) The nudy nail lacquers also look promising, but I have a filling they will actually be quite similar to what I already have. Normally I would go straight for the lippies, but this time the shades don't convince me... these here won't suit my face at all... what about you? See anything you like?

Thanks for reading!
