Sassy - shimmery cool white. I don't really care for this one, because I very rarely use white for inner corners. I like them to e a bit warmer. It's a good inner corner highlighter for neutral or cool toned looks. 

Stubborn - shimmery warm dirty pink. Not my typical shade and a bit too light for my taste. Good for those who like softer pink looks. 

Selfish - shimmery cool taupe brown. It's too cool for my personal taste, but I know this will be favorite for many of you who like taupe shades. 

Sophisticated - shimmery medium cool brown (has bigger and a bit more sparse gold shimmer). This one is kind of a blah shade for me. I don't find it interesting enough plus it's also cool toned - not my usual choice. 

Sexy - matte purple burgundy. One of those unique and really good quality burgundies. I really like this shade for all over the lid or to warm up the crease. 

Serious - matte black. Must have for any eye shadow palette. I love using matte black shades as an eyeliner. It gives a softer look than liquid eyeliners. 

Snobby - shimmery warm light yellow gold. I really like this one for the inner corners or to put on top of other shades to give a bit of warmth.

Stand-offish - shimmery peachy pink. This is my favorite for the inner corners. It's such a nice mix of pink and warm peach. 

Sultry - matte warm caramel brown (yellow toned). This is one of my favorites from this palette. It's just the right shade of light and dark and amazing for the crease for warm skin tones. 

Seductive - shimmery warm gold brown (yellow toned). This is by far my favorite shade of this whole palette. I adore it. It's also very unique in my collection.  I especially love the yellow tint to it.

Silly - shimmery warm dark chocolate brown (has bigger gold chunks of shimmer). This one is a total miss. It looks very pretty chocolate brown in the pan, but the shimmer doesn't transfer on the lid. It's also really hard to work with. 

Sleek - matte cool very dark brown. This one is also one of those must haves for most. It's a bit too dark for my personal taste, but still nice for deepening crease. 

Stand-offish, Selfish and Seductive have the most creamy wet formula with crazy good pigmentation. They are shimmery and apply very intensely.  

Snobby is on the sheer side. Sophisticated is also a bit sheerer than Stand-offish, Selfish and Seductive and a bit harder in texture, still very good. Sassy and Stubborn are both nicely pigmented and apply fairly opaque for lighter shades. 

All the matte shades Sultry, Sexy, Serious and Sleek are very pigmented. As with most matte formulas, these are a bit more powdery, but easy to blend and have an amazing pigmentation for matte shades. 

Silly is the most disappointing from the whole range. It has hard dry formula and applies sheerer. It also has the biggest chunks of shimmer which don't really do much or add to the actual shade. This shade is a total miss in my opinion. 

In general these eye shadows are of really good quality. Shimmery shades are pigmented, some really creamy and the palette in general has good pigmentation. Mattes are the most powdery and dry, but are also one of the most pigmented matte shades I own. 

As per usual I took photos of some of the eye makeup that I created with the combination of these eye shadows. This way you'll get an idea as to how they look like on my skin tone.

Eye shadows last well on the lids, but for some reason they don't stay on my lids the whole day. I think it might be the fact that I started testing them, when my skin got a bit oilier. It's warmer and therefore my skin produces more oils then in colder months. If your lids are oily, they won't stay on the lid the whole day. Nonetheless, they stay perfect for around 8 hours on me with Avon eye primer underneath. After that they get a bit in the crease and also fade a bit. 

If I compare them with Zoeva Cocoa Blend, I will say that the formula of eye shadows is very similar. Both shimmery shades are very wet. Mattes in Nude'tude are a bit drier to the Zoeva mattes, but both have amazing pigmentation. They also both last about the same time on my skin. I will say that Zoeva eye shadows are about 2 hours more long lasting on me. 

In case of the actual shades, I personally prefer Zoeva, because there are more warmer shades and warmer shades look better with my skin tone. I do miss matte black and matte neutral medium brown shade in this palette though. Nude'tude seems more appropriate for those with neutral skin tone and those that like darker shades. It has a lot of dark shades and a mix of cool and warm shades.

In terms of price, Zoeva is more affordable, but don't get used to it. They've recently changed the price of their palettes, of course they're more expensive now. I have already stated my disgust to the brands that take their prices up for no reason (or maybe because of the popularity of their products?!), so I am not sure when they'll decide to make them even more expensive. Now they cost around 22€ and in the palette you get 15 grams of product. Nude'tude costs around 38€ and in it you get 11.08 grams of product. With Zoeva you get 10 shades and Nude'tude gives you 12 shades. It's up to you to decide which shade selection you like better and how much you wanna spend on your palette. 

Without a doubt Nude'tude palette has amazing quality eye shadows (expect for Silly). Eye shadows are creamy, blend nicely and are fairly long lasting. Shade range includes some cool and some warm tones. It goes from lighter to darker shades. I do miss a bit of medium shades in the palette. I am in general impressed, but would go for a different color selection for my personal taste. 

Mateja also did an amazing review of the Nude'tude palette. 

I already reviewed some other theBalm products. 

On my wish list is still Nude Dude palette (I think it has more of the warmer my kind of shades) and Bahama Mama Bronzer (I'm curious, because it's very hyped up). Ever since Mateja said to me that their Meet Matt(e) Hughes Long-lasting Liquid Lipsticks would probably be nice for someone with drier lips, I also have my eye on these (her review of Adoring). All the shades look pretty and it's kind of hard to decided. I think I like best Commited and Sincere.

This looks a lot more orange in the pan than it does on the skin. If you take a glance at it, you would think another orange blush, but it's much more dimensional on the actual skin. 

The base of it it's pretty pink, but golden sheen on top of it makes it look coral. It's such a unique shade and the golden sheen on it is everything. 

Mary-Lou Manizer is my favorite highlighter of all time and it's a light golden champagne shade. Hot Mama has a darker and more yellow golden sheen on top of it, but the formula of gold sheen seems very similar to Mary. It's finely milled and it gives a beautiful sheen rather than glittery look.

Texture is a tiny bit wet, which means it stays on like crazy. It's one of the most long lasting blushes that I own. I can wear this the whole day and at the end it still looks exactly the same. 

It's also crazy pigmented so be careful when applying it. You need the tiniest amount on the brush. Sometimes I struggle to apply just a light flush, because I almost always overdue it. 

It gives the cheeks a very natural healthy flush of color and makes them stand out a bit more, because of the gold sheen. You could probably skip highlighter with this blush, if you don't like it to be too glowy. The glowy sheen makes it look very fresh and dewy looking which I really like.

Obviously you can also wear this on your eyes and it works great there too, but I always use it as a blush. 

I usually go for peach blushes and I very rarely use pink. Hot Mama is the perfect coral addition to my collection. I have nothing that's the same color. The one that comes closest to it, it's blush shade from Makeup Revolution Ultra Sculpt and Contour Kit in Ultra Fair C01. In the pan they look exactly the same, but once swatched, this one is even more gold, peachier and lighter. Hot Mama is a lot more pigmented and the gold sheen is not as obvious. Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso has the most similar finish, except that Hot Mama has a bit more sheen to it and more glow. 

I absolutely love the finish of this blush. Gold sheen is everything to me. If the base would be a bit peachier, I would probably wear it all the time. But because it's pink based, I like to pair it with more brighter lip colors and not so much with my very neutral makeup looks. It's crazily pigmented and stays on my skin the whole day. I think the price is good for the amount you get, but is on a bit more expensive side. If you love coral shades and adore highlighting blushes with golden sheen, you'll definitely love this.

Innisfree Smart Foundation Perfect Cover - 13 Light Beige

This is in my favorites purely because of the shade. It's very light, actually the lightest foundation shade that I own and since I'm even paler now than I am in summer, this almost matches me perfectly. I always use too dark foundations and have to blend them down my neck, because non of them in the drugstores are light enough. This one is actually light enough, although I am not crazy about the coverage. I expected it to be full coverage, but it's very light medium. It's also a bit obvious on the skin. I'll talk more about it in a separate review.

theBalm Nude'tude Nude Eyeshadow Palette

I've been testing this and I already have my favorite shades. Review of this will be up soon, but until then I'll tell you that my absolute favorite shade is Seductive - very warm almost yellow toned light brown. I also really like Sultry - perfect warm matte brown for the crease and Sexy - matte purple burgundy shade. Eye shadows are really pigmented and they blend with ease. I'm not sure that they are as long lasting as Zoeva Cocoa Blend shades, but I'll have to test it a bit more to make up my mind completely. It's not my usual shade selection, because there is a lot of cooler shades, but the ones that I like are really pretty. 

Ebelin Precision Eye Brush

This is a very dense pointed brush with great precision. I use this around my lower lash line to darken it a bit. I like that I can apply it very closely to the lash line and no where else. It's also perfect for blending out pencils.

Essence Smokey Eye Brush

Another great brush for smoking out the eye shadow or pencils. It's a lot winder but almost shaped like a ball. It creates a soft haze around the lower lash line and I like that it pulls it a bit down. I've been really enjoying this.

Avon Supershock Gel Eyeliner - Black

I don't believe I've mentioned this before, but this is my favorite liner in a pencil form. It's super soft and it almost melts onto the skin, that's why it's called gel eyeliner. I love to use this when I want a softer line. I apply it straight from the pen and then just blend it with the brush. It's very easy to blend and once it sets it doesn't move. If you have very oily lids, you'll need to set it with an eye shadow. 

Essence Make Me Brow Eyebrow Gel Mascara - 01 blondy brows

My brows have been getting bald spots, which they always do in spring and fall for some reason. So I need all the help I can get. I started using this brow gel mascara to make them look fuller. I use this first, then apply brow pencil and then go back in with this to shape them and set them. It's a great base, because it makes pencil stick on better. I also like the super mini brush, although it does have too much product on, so I always wipe it off a bit.

Essence Eyeshadow 15 hazle me not!

While I was browsing through new Essence products I also got a look at their matte eye shadows in hope of finding another great contouring shade. I've been loving this 15 hazle me not! to contour my face with. It's a lot lighter than Essence I Heart Nude in 05 My Favorite Tauping. This is for someone very fair and I am pretty fair in this time of year. It means I don't have to think about it, I can just apply it and really can't overdue it. It's a great grey based shade, although it has a tiny bit of sheen to it. I've been loving this, since I went lighter with my foundation. It gives me the most natural unnoticeable contour. I'll have a separate review. 

H&M Pure Radiance Powder Blusher - Brown Sugar

I can't say how much I love this blush. It's the most neutral matte blush that I own. It's brownish peach and I've been pairing it with my usual neutral brownish makeup. I love this, because it's not flat out matte, but still has some sheen. 

theBalm Hot Mama Blush/Shadow

Since I've been experimenting with bold bright lipsticks this month, I've also been loving this blush. It's coral, has a pink base with a very gold sheen and looks so pretty bright paired with bright lipsticks. It's my go to for glowy cheeks and  colorful lips. I'll post a review of it soon. 

Avon True Colour Perfectly Matte Lipsticks (Marvelous Mocha and Ideal Lilac)

Whole matte range by Avon is just amazing. I've finally tested it a bit more since my lips have been in better shape this month. I've already mentioned my favorite shades in my review, but the two shades that have been outstanding this month are Marvelous Mocha, which is a lovely warm medium brown and Ideal Lilac, which is a crazy bright fuchsia shade. One is for my neutral looks and one for when I want something bold and colorful. 

Maybelline Color Show The Blushed Nudes - 447 Dusty Rose

Boy am I in love with this shade. Every time I paint my nails, I want to use this one. It's just such a pretty pastel lavender pink shade and perfect for the spring. It also lasts on me well. I have a review here. 

L'Occitane Folie Florale Petal-Soft Body Milk

I've already reviewed this. It's a lightly moisturizing body milk with a unique sweet fruity floral scent. I love the gentle spring scent of it and shea butter moisturizing layer that it creates on the skin. This is definitely a spring treat and I'm actually saving it for some warmer days so that I can smell it on me while wearing t-shirts. 

Avon Mesmerize Eau de Toilette

My absolute favorite scent of this month. It hasn't been as warm as I would have liked it, so I think I was gravitating more towards sweet fruity scents like this one. I adore the peach scent of it and later long lasting effect of sandalwood. It's the perfect sweet spring scent. I also love the bottle, because it's so easy to carry around. You'll find a review of it here. 

It comes in cute retro paper box. The concealer is in transparent plastic pot and with it you get small white sponge. I'm not sure if it's just for the "transport" purposes, but I assume it can be used on the go as well, for touch ups. I never do that anyway, so I can't comment on that. The packaging is not really hygienic, since you have to dip your fingers in when you use it, but most cream concealers come in those kind of pots.

You get 7.5 grams of product, which is pretty huge amount. I think it costs around 16€ in our country. The prices are different elsewhere. For example on Feelunique it costs around 20€. 

The ingredients list.

I also compared it to my other cream concealers. As far as texture goes, it is most similar to MAC Studio Finish. They both have the same buttery feeling, but MAC's is thicker, because it's more pigmented. Catrice Camouflage Cream concealers are a bit lighter to the touch.

As far as the shade goes, theBalm is the only one with obvious peach undertone and it's definitely on the dark side among these. Catrice Camouflage in 010 Ivory has a very light yellow undertone and it's lighter than theBalm. Catrice Camouflage Cream in 020 Light Beige has the most obvious yellow undertone and it's also the darkest. MAC Studio Finish in NC 15 is the lightest of them all and also has a light yellow warm undertone.

Now it's time for me to demonstrate how it looks like under my eyes and on my face. Here are photos of no concealer and with, from left to right.  

And the finished look with my everyday makeup. As you can see it still worked for me here, but as I'm getting paler, I'll just have to reserve it for spring and summer. 

This concealer has an average cream concealer texture and an average packaging. I wasn't blown away by the coverage, because I like full coverage or at least medium coverage concealers. I think this is an average good concealer for those that don't really need a lot to cover. It is long lasting, which is a plus. I guess it did not impress me as I thought it would.
