Revlon is one of those brands that always does great quality lip products. Ultra HD Vinyl Lip Polish is one of their latest range of liquid lipsticks. As soon as I saw the finish of these, I knew I would love them. Mine is in a wearable mauve nude shade called Date Night.

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. 

L.O.V. was once in our Müller stores and back then I didn't pay much attention to this brand. But then they started to came out with very interesting products, once they were already gone from Slovenia, so I usually checked their stand in Austria. I got this blush there, when it was half off, because Austrian DM also discontinued L.O.V. 

Bourjois is one of those drugstore brands that seems to have quality products. I still use their Healthy Mix Foundation, because it looks so natural on the skin and I absolutely adore Rouge Velvet The Lipsticks which have the best matte finish ever. Obviously, I was excited to try some more from them and than these Bourjois Satin Edition 24h Eyeshadows landed in my mail. 

I've just realized that Colourpop discontinued this palette, what a shame. It was a collaboration between Colourpop and Karrueche Tran called Fem Rosa. Colourpop often times do these sort of collaborations and some of these are limited edition offers, so I don't know, if they'll bring it back. But it's possible. In case they do or you find it on Ebay, you can help to decided, if you need it based on my review.

Packaging

It comes in a mauve colored box. The design of the actual palette is really pretty with red and purple roses. The writing has metallic gold details. Shade names are on the back of the palette.

In it is 12 x 0.85 gram of product (total of 10.20 grams) and the price was 16$ (but I got it cheaper on sale).

Colors

This palette has a mauve pink vibe. In it is total of 12 shades. 8 of them are metallic or satin and 4 of them are matte. 

Swatches

Ladylike - metallic pale yellow champagne (wet, great pigmentation)

Babe - satin pale pink (drier, descent pigmentation)

Dainty - metallic light mauve pink (wet, great pigmentation)

Chick - metallic light yellow gold with rose gold duo-chrome (drier, good pigmentation)

Mademoiselle - metallic light red toned mauve (wet - almost creamy, amazing pigmentation)

Gal - metallic medium copper base with pink chunky glitter (wet, the sheerest shade)

Empress - metallic medium purple mauve (drier, good pigmentation)

Filly - metallic medium rusty copper orange (drier, good pigmentation)

Dear - matte medium muddy pink (drier, amazing pigmentation)

Missy - matte dark raspberry red (drier, amazing pigmentation)

Damsel - matte dark eggplant violet (drier, good pigmentation)

Duchess - matte medium brick peach (wetter, amazing pigmentation)

My absolute favorite shades are Ladylike (for inner corners), Chick (for all over the lid), Mademoiselle (on the lid), Dear, Missy and Duchess (all for crease work or all over the lid). 

Formula

Formula depends from shade to shade. Mostly they have a wet formula and some even feel creamy. Some are slightly on the direr side, but still not dry by no means. 

In general I was surprised by the pigmentation of these. They are all on the very pigmented side with some exceptions. Babe and Chick are a bit less pigmented than most shimmery shades. Gal swatches the sheerest out of all of them and you mostly just pick up a lot of glittery chunks. Filly is also one of those slightly less pigmented shades, but still a bit more pigmented than Babe and Chick.

Some shades like Mademoiselle have such a creamy formula that it almost feels like a cream and has amazing pigmentation. The same goes for all matte shades. Matte shades actually feel more dense in pigment than shimmery shades. Damsel is the only shade out of mattes that feels just a bit sheerer and slightly harder to blend. 

They feel packed with pigment, especially matte shades which have a lot of kick-up. They are probably the most pigmented matte shades I have ever tried. As long as you tap the brush before you apply eyeshadow on the lid, you shouldn't experience any noticeable fallout. Shimmery shades may have some shimmery fallout, but it all depends on how much you put on the brush. Most of these only need small dip in the pan and you get great payoff. 

Performance

Eyeshadows apply in one swipe and they all blend out easily. I don't have problems with transitions either. They don't just all blend together in one shade. Formula is very long lasting. They stay on my lid for the whole day (with eyeshadow primer), they don't crease and don't seem to noticeably fade either. 

Now let's go onto some eye looks that I created with these eyeshadows. I'm sorry for different color temperature in photos. I took these on different days under different weather conditions. I don't want to over retouch them, so that you can see how the shadows actually look like on my skin tone.

I am impressed with this eyeshadow palette. I've already bought single Colourpop shadows, so I expected nothing but the best and it definitely is. Pigmentation is insane, especially with matte shades. They all seem to blend really well, have in general a wetter formula and the shade selection is perfect for a mauve toned lover. This is a lovely addition to my eyeshadow collection and I'm so sad, they've discontinued it. I have seen it on Ebay, so if you really like it, I'd say get it there. It's definitely worth the price. 

I didn't plan on buying Catrice's new ICONails Gel Lacquers. Usually, their nail polish formula chipped on my nails really fast and it just wasn't worth the price. But when I saw sets of two in the store, I couldn't resist. I also found the prettiest duo that had the perfect nude shade with a mauve brown shade. I'm trying to buy unique shades for my collection, so I wanted to try it out and see for myself if their claims are true. 

The sets were designed as a manicure and pedicure shades, but I use them all on both anyway. Apparently the formula is infused with acai oil and has GLOSS SEAL'R technology for a luminous color with a gel shine finish. It should last up to 7 days without top coat. 

Glass bottle is designed in a square shape. It has that fancy plastic top that you take off and reveal the applicator underneath it. I guess this is a fancy system that high end brands use. I don't really care for it. In fact, some may think that the nail polish is broken - those that don't "get" the system. 

In each is 10.5 ml of product. I believe the price for one is 2.95€ (I bought it in Austria, but I think in Slovenia it's the same price). These sets cost 2.95€ for two shades. 

The brush is wider than normal and rounded. I love these rounded brushes, because it makes it so easy to apply nail polish perfectly around the cuticles. I usually just do three swipes with these kind of brushes. My only critic is that one of these brushes was already a bit frayed and it didn't perform as well as it should. 

Formula of both is creamy and easy to apply. With lighter shade you need two coats, but with darker shade you could apply just one. Pigmentation is actually really nice. 

They dry fairly fast and you don't need any top coat. I find that they have a nice shine (not as good as if you apply Seche Vite over it) and they actually last a long time. As I've said many times, I have weak nails and both of these lasted on my nails for about 4 days. Which is a lot for my nails. It's actually categorized as an extraordinary category of nail polishes in terms of long lasting power on my nails. I tried one shade with a Seche Vite top coat over it and it chipped on the second day. So I'm assuming that these perform best without the top coat. 

Catrice ICONails 10 Rosywood Hills

I got this set because of this shade. It's nothing like I already own and it looked like a perfect mix of warm brown an mauve. Depending on what skin tone you have, it might look more purple mauve based or more warm brown based. Because I have a warm skin tone, it looks more brownish on me. This is essentially a perfect every day shade for the fall.

You can apply only one thicker coat and it covers the nail entirely. 

Catrice ICONails 38 Honeymoon Is Coming Soon

Lately, I've been loving nude nail polish shades. Especially those that are lighter than my skin tone and have white base to it. This is a true beige nude shade. It has white base, but is warm beige toned. It would probably look amazing on many skin tones. On me it also looks a bit warmer, but I like the fact that it's still very light. 

Two coats will cover the nail completely and give you an opaque look. 

I am in love with both shades. Nude is one of those flattering nude shades for light skin tones. It would also look nice against tanned skin. Browny mauve shade is the perfect combination of colors for the fall, if you wan't something a bit different, but still very wearable.

The formula is nicely pigmented, applies evenly, dries fairly fast and has a good amount of shine. I absolutely love the fact that it's in fact long lasting. Those of you that have strong and healthy nails could easily wear it for 7 days without chipping. I can safely say that I am positively surprised by Catrice. If other shades perform as well as these two, they have a drugstore winner at an affordable price.

You can see the swatches of all the shades on Innen Aussen.

I love the neutral brownish mauve look that Ariana Grande usually wears and it seems to be her staple. When I saw her video for Everyday (which is probably the most low budget video ever), I couldn't help but watch her makeup. Mauve is usually more reserved for fall time and to me it looks cool toned, but I still wanted to make an inspired look by that video. Turns out mauve is quite a neutral shade that works on cooler and warmer skin tones. It's a very natural look with that mauve haze to it.

I started my eye makeup with eyeshadow primer and I set it with beige matte color. For the crease I first used a very light matte warm brown. Then I used slightly darker and cooler matte brown. On the lid I used a mixture of light mauve and an even lighter lavender shade. This eye look is all about matte shades that give you that subtle mauve haze.
