Review: Catrice Spring/Summer 2021 Products
18 Jun 2021
Catrice has again revamped their stand in the start of spring, but I just came around testing all of these products properly. Here are my thoughts on which products are worth a try, if you're considering getting any. I love Catrice as a brand in general, some of their products are my favorites that I keep rebuying while others are a fail. But you really can't go wrong at that price range.
Review: Catrice LE Kaviar Gauche 2020 - Pressed Pigment Palette, Highlighter and Multipurpose Brush
8 Jan 2021
I am a little late with this review, but our local drugstore still sells this November through January limited edition by Catrice called Kaviar Gauche. Kaviar Gauche is German bridal couture brand that Catrice collaborated with already and I feel they'll do more together in the future. These collection always have the prettiest design and very wearable shades.
Catrice Autumn Winter 2020/2021 Products
16 Dec 2020
I have had these products for quite a while now, but I just couldn't come around to write the actual review. Then I realized I accidently deleted my previous notes on these and their comparisons, but I managed to save most of my thought and write them all down. It's all about the new products for autumn and winter 2020/2021 that have been added to Catrice range. Catrice is one of my favorite drugstore brands so I am always looking forward to trying new products.
Review: Catrice Brow Definer Brush Pen (040 Ash Brown) vs. Essence Tiny Tip Precise Brow Pen (02 medium brown)
18 Nov 2020
I think you might have noticed by now that I love to try out brow products. It's one of those fields that I'm never quite satisfied with when it comes to doing my own makeup. If you have sparse brows like I do, you need all the help you can get. I was so excited when two of my favorite drugstore brands - Essence and Catrice came out with their brow pen versions that I had to try them both. Here's comparison of them.
Review: Catrice LE Sungasm Summer Glow Make-Up Setting Mist
4 Jun 2020
Catrice has new limited edition called Sungasm that is already available in stores. I have tried out their Summer Glow Make-Up Setting Mist and it's a great one for getting moisturized and dewy look back to your skin after applying powder makeup or just to refresh your makeup.
Review: Catrice LE Glow In Bloom Highlighters (All Shades) and Blush (C02 Rose Duet)
22 May 2020
Catrice's latest limited edition called Glow In Bloom is all about glowy skin with floral inspiration. It's available in April and May at most Catrice retailers. I have to say their highlighters are just amazing. Blush is also nice.
Review: Catrice Professional Brow Palette - 010 Light to Medium
2 Apr 2020
Catrice came out with two brow palettes that are now in their regular range. It's a part of spring/summer 2020 revamp. I was most excited about this product when I first saw PR photos. It seemed like something that I would actually use a lot.
Review: Catrice Brush Ink Tattoo Liner Waterproof - 010 Black Waterproof
27 Feb 2020
I almost never get excited about drugstore eyeliners, because I in general dislike felt tip and regular liquid formulas. So when I saw Catrice was coming out with a brush tip, I knew I had to try it out. I am always trying to find European version of my beloved Clio Kill Black Liner, because it's a hassle to get it from Asia. I think this one might be a good enough replacement.
Review: Catrice Eyeconista Mascara - Regular And Waterproof
5 Sept 2019
As soon as I saw Catrice came out with their regular version of Eyeconista Lash Millionizer Volume Mascara, it immediately reminded me of Maybelline Lash Sensational - because of the packaging as well as the wand. I heard people raving about it, but I was skeptical, until I finally gave in and bought it. Since then I also received waterproof version, so here is comparison of the two.
Review: Catrice Crystallized Amethyst Eyeshadow Palette 010 Raise Up Your Voice
19 Aug 2019
Catrice has launched a bunch of new products in their standard line. It's part of revamp that they do twice a year. They've added some new eyeshadow palettes and two of those are inspired by crystals. Apparently this is the new "it" thing in beauty world right now. I have been testing out their Crystallized Amethyst Eyeshadow Palette in shade 010 Raise Up Your Voice.
Review: Catrice Blush Box Glowing + Multicolour - 020 It's wine o'clock
5 Aug 2019
Continuing with Catrice new launches, here is another new at their stand, their Blush Box Glowing + Multicolour glowing powder blush. I have to say I haven't had many of Catrice blushes before, but they seem to be a favorite and it's because of great formula. This one is no exception.
Review: Catrice Luminice Highlight & Bronze Glow Palette - 020 Feel Gold
21 Jul 2019
Catrice is again renewing their standard stand with some new products. They do these revamps about two times a year. I had the chance to try some of the new products out. Part of their newest products range are also two Luminice Highlight & Bronze Glow Palettes. I have the more golden one named 020 Feel Gold.
Review: Catrice One Drop Coverage Weightless Concealer (003 Porcelain, 050 Bronze Beige)
10 May 2019
Catrice came out with One Drop Coverage Weightless Concealer to match their Catrice HD Liquid Coverage Foundation which I really like. I was intrigued by the pigmentation claims and dropper packaging. It's very hygienic and I see these concealers as covering drops for any part of makeup application.
Review: Catrice HD Liquid Coverage Foundation - 036 Hazelnut Beige
25 Apr 2019
If you have warm olive skin tone and trouble finding olive toned shades in drugstore foundations, I have a product for you. I have already spoken about Catrice HD Liquid Coverage Foundation, because it is out since 2016 and I love the formula. Catrice recently expanded their shade range ,which must be due to the good sells, and I can understand why. This is one of my favorite foundations from the drugstore.
Review: Catrice #peeloff Glam Effect Nail Polish - 03 When In Doubt, Just Add Glitter
11 Apr 2019
I received this nail polish, because Catrice representatives from Slovenia saw this on my wishlist. What a lovely surprise it was and I knew immediately I will like it, because I already had Essence Glitter On Glitter Off Nail Polish 02 Razzle Dazzle which is pretty much the same formula as this one, but with smaller glitter and I love that formula, because it's so easy to remove.
Review: Catrice Brow Colorist Brow Mascara (020 Medium) and Dewy-ful Lips (020 Let's DEW This!)
27 Aug 2018
Catrice and Essence revamp their product range in the spring and fall. These two products are newly added members to their standard range for the fall/winter season of 2018. I decided to pick up only those products that really stood out to me and that I know I will use. For now. I'm sure, I'll get some more, after I read reviews from my fellow bloggers. But so far, I'm loving both, Catrice Brow Colorist Semi-permanent Brow Mascara and Catrice Dewy-ful Lips Conditioning Lip Butter.
Review: Catrice Prisma Lip Glaze - 010 Enchanted Gold
27 Mar 2018
I knew I wanted to try out Catrice Prisma Lip Glaze as soon as I saw it on promo photos. In the store it looked even prettier. Lip gloss is making a comeback and I am glad. As much as I love a good matte lip in the winter, I also love sparkly glosses in the summer time. They look so effortless and juicy.
Review: Catrice LE Genderless Peel-Off Brow Tint - C01 Mudstone
25 Feb 2018
I've spoken about sheet mask from Essence Genderless LE and Catrice also has the same concept for their latest limited edition called Genderless. Products that are universal and can be used by men and women. In the range was also a peel-off brow tint and I immediately got curious about it. I was hoping for a waterproof or at least very long lasting tint, but this is more of a one day effect.
Review: Catrice LE Blush Flush Ombre Blush Palette - C02 Vibrant Pink
27 Jan 2018
Newest Catrice Limited Edition is called Blush Flush and it's all about the blush, which will be one of the most popular products this year. You might have heard about draping. It's a technique in which you use blush to sculpt out your cheeks. Basically, think of the 80s when my mom didn't know what bronzer or contour is and she used blush to contour with. It's the same principal with this year's hottest trend. Catrice jumped on the trend wagon and got a whole limited edition of blush products to help you out. I got their Ombre Blush Palette in shade C02 Vibrant Pink to test out.
Packaging
The palette comes in a black plastic packaging with this fun design that interacts with you depending on how you tilt the palette. It reminds me of those small cards that you got in candy in the 90s. I tried to capture different looks that change among the angle when you turn the packaging. Design looks like a cool slow motion explosion of pink and orange powders. Really pretty and unique.
It also has a mirror on the top which is actually very practical. I did my whole eye makeup look in it when I wasn't as home. It's also great for touch ups or to travel with.
In it is 17.6 grams of product and it costs 5.69€.
Colors
You can choose among two different color schemes. C01 Blurred Orange is a more orange ombre and C01 Vibrant Pink is a pink ombre. Catrice says to choose the palette based on your skin's undertone. So you would use Vibrant Pink, if you have cool undertone and Blurred Orange, if you have warm under tone. I say go for which you like. There are no rules in makeup. But I have to say I am considering buying the other version, because I like this one so much. Blurred Orange has more of my preferred warm tones in it.
You can get almost unlimited amount of shades out of this one ombre palette, because you can mix and match which ever shades you like. I swatched about 5 different shades going from left to right in the palette.
From left to right:
1 - pale cool shimmery baby pink. It has silver sheen to it and can be used as a highlighter or as a highlighting topper for the cheeks.
2 - light cool pink. This is that classic cool pink that gives you that flush, like you've been out in the cold for too long.
3 - medium warm fuchsia pink. This is a darker version of shade 2 and it's already leaning on a warmer side. It's a fairly strong pop of color, great for when you really want your cheeks to pop out.
4 - medium warm brick pink. This is probably the closest to my taste, because it has that brownish brick muddy base to it, but it's still pink. It's slightly darker than shade 3 and is one of those shades that you can use for draping as they call it now - sculpting the cheeks with blush, because it's not too bright.
5 - darker medium warm brown. Now this can actually be used as a bronzer, if you have warm skin tone. It's warm and leans slightly peachy, but it's also a great shade to contour your cheeks with - not contour in a grey shade kind of way, but to rather sculpt them out, if you don't want to use a separate bronzer.
Shade 1 is the only shade that has the most intense cool sheen to it and can be used as a highlighter. Shade 2 is also slightly more glowy with a nice sheen. Shade 3 is the most matte out of all of these and therefore can look a bit chalky, so you have to bend it well. Shade 4 has again a bit of satin sheen to it, but just barely there, it just looks a bit more wearable and not too flat. Shade 5 also has a bit of that healthy sheen to it, but no visible shimmer.
It's a very versatile palette, because you get so many blush, bronzer and even highlighting shades in just one palette.
I wanted to show you how I would use this palette to sculpt out the cheeks. I've even documented all the steps. First photo from the left is me with only foundation and powder. Then I used shade 5 or the bronzing shade to sculpt out under my cheek bone and use it almost as a contour. I used shade 3 as the pop of color on apples of my cheek. At the end I used shade 1 as a highlighter on the highest point of the cheek and a bit closer to my nose to make the cheeks stand out even more.
Formula
It has a slightly wetter formula. Shades have really good pigmentation. For my personal taste, they are event too pigmented, because I like a subtle blush. It means you have to use fluffy brush with it in order to not overdo it. It really is very pigmented. I had a bit of problem with blending out shade 3 which is the most matte and chalky looking, but just build it up slowly. Other shades blend well. Just keep in mind, you barely have to touch the palette to get the color.
Performance
These shades stay on my cheeks for the whole day and I don't even see them loosing intensity. It's a very long lasting formula and you definitely don't need any touch-ups with it. But then again, I never have problems with blush fading too much.
I have to point out that my camera makes it look like I have no blush on, or that it's really subtle, but it's actually very pigmented and bright in person.

I think this is a very versatile palette. You get at least 5 different shades of blush in one palette which you can mix and match. You can also use it to bronze and highlight with. Mirror is a plus. Formula is fairly buttery and it mostly blends out well - the matte shades can be a bit tricky. Pigmentation is crazy and almost too much for my personal taste, but you can play it down by using a light hand and fluffy brush. I think this is well worth the price. Quality is amazing, you get a lot of shades and it lasts well on the skin. I am already regretting not getting shade C01 Blurred Orange. I'm hoping I'll still catch it in one of the stores.
In Slovenia you can buy this LE in Tuš drogerija, DM, Müller, Mercator hipermarket, Interspar Citypark Ljubljana, drogerija Ilirika and Leclerc Maribor. It is on their stand from 24th of January 2018.
