Review: Labello lip balms (Repair & Beauty, Fruity Shine Cherry, Lip Butter Coconut)

Hey Beauties!

I am a lip balm addict and I know many of you are too. I use lip balms all year around, multiple times a day. But that's just me. My lips tend to get dry really quickly and there's nothing worse then your lips peeling off. Today I'll share three Labello lip balms and what do I think of them. You've probably all had some Labello product already. I know when I was a little, these were the first tinted lip products that I used and venture into the world of colored lips :).


Labello Repair & Beauty

This one is for those who need a bit more help than just your average moisturization. It has a dual system. The inner white part is suppose to help repair the lip surface. That's why it's meant for those who have chapped and dry lips. The outer pink part its suppose to add a little hint of rose color to the lips. It has a very interesting smell, which has a hint of mint to it. I also noticed that this lip balm tingles my lips. I'm almost certain there some sort of mint in the formulation, which I personally don't like. All in all, I think it's a good lip balm, but don't expect any major repairing. It's good if you're lips are slightly dry, but once chapped, I didn't find this helped all that much. It's almost better as a prevention method.

The packaging is a classic lip balm tube and there's 4.8 grams of product in it. It costs around 3.31€.




Labello Fruity Shine Cherry

This one impressed me the least. It's a tinted moisturizing lip balm. The scent is amazing, I won't deny that. It smells like those chewy cherry sweets - oh my god! Seriously amazing smell. It leaves light red color on the lips that also has some small silver shimmer in it. It's nothing disturbing. I find this formula the least moisturizing of all three. I prefer to use this over some drying red lipstick to add a bit of shine and moisture.

The packaging is a classic plastic lip balm tube. It's shiny and there's 4.8 grams of lip balm it it. It costs around 1.88€.




Labello Lip Butter Coconut

It may come as no surprise, that I like this one the best. Why? Well, it's coconut - need I say more?! I am obsessed with coconut smells and this lip balm doesn't disappoint. The coconut smell is really natural and nothing artificial. It's not overpowering and it just takes you onto tropical islands. I love love the smell. The formula is also not bad. If you put too much of it on, the lips start to look too white. That's probably due to the fact that it's a butter formula, which means it's a lot more heavy and moisturizing. I find that it does a nice job of mosturizing, although I only use it at home. The packaging is not the most appropriate to carry around and dip your dirty fingers in. 

The packaging is metal can and there's 16.7 grams of lip butter in it. It costs around 2.50€.




The lip balms were send to me and I sure loved trying some Labello products, because I haven't been using them since I was, well, a lot younger. If you've tried any of these let me know how you like them. My favorite has to be coconut lip butter :). What's your favorite?

Review: NYX Matte Lipstick in MLS07 Alabama

Hey Beauties!

Today I'm sharing this beautiful fall lip shade, that I found among NYX range and fell in love. You already saw it in this post. So many of you said that it looks good on me and I'm happy that I finally found deeper red lipstick that suits my skin tone.


The packaging is not the most sturdy. It's plastic and feels a bit wobbly. In the middle it has transparent plastic, which makes it easy to see the shade of the lipstick. It contains 4.5 grams of lipstick and I bought it for 7.45€. I'm sure it's a lot cheaper in some countries. 




The shade is called MLS07 Alabama and it's dark red with definite brick orange undertone. I think the orange tone to it gives it nice warmness. Don't expect it to be as matte as some of the matte liquid lipsticks, but it's definitely not shiny. I actually like this finish, because it means it's not gonna be drying. I find that it doesn't dry out my lips at all, but you definitely feel that you have something on your lips. I only find Mac lipsticks very lightweight that I don't even feel like I have anything on. It's also pretty long wearing and it does stain the lips, which is normal for such dark shade.




It has quickly became one of my favorite lipstick for this season. Even my boyfriend said it looks really nice on me, so you know - it must be true ;). It's not the most cheap lipstick, but I have no complaint over the formula, so it was still worth it. If you're looking for something similar, definitely try this one, if you have a chance.

Review: Catrice Liquid Liner in 010 Dating Joe Black

Hey Beauties!

If there's one staple look in my makeup routine, it has to be winged liner. Since I have discovered the power of a little wing and how it can make my eyes appear longer and up lifted, I have been using the trick on daily basis. I have had a lot of eyeliners and I wasn't looking for another one. But I saw Nicki Tutorials on Youtube rave about Catrice eyeliner and how precise and matte it is. I tried it and it definitely is one of the good ones :).


It costs 3.79 € and it contains 1.7 ml of product. The packaging is plastic black. The shade is called 010 Dating Joe Black. Did you see the movie Joe Black with Brad Pitt? Clever name, may I say and the movie was amazing :).


The applicator seems to be a very thin and defined sponge felt tip. It's extremely precise, which is one of the things why I really love liquid liners. Other eyeliners are never as precise as liquid ones. 

The formula is very liquid once you apply it and that may be a problem for some. But the eyeliner dries really quickly. It dries to a complete matte finish, which I adore. Once it dries it doesn't move. At all! It's extremely long lasting, just don't put any water near it, because it's not waterproof.


The shade is black, but for some reason it has a very slight blue hue. At least I think so. It's barely noticeable. 


The only problem I have with this eyeliner, despite the liquid that sometimes seem to penetrate between my lashes, is the fact that it's a mess to clean off. I always clean my eyes with micellar water and the eyeliner seem to be smudging all over my eyes and face. I haven't tried it with any waterproof remover, so I don't know if that would be the solution. However, if I want a perfect matte precise finish to my eyeliner, this is the product. I can forgive the messy removing routine :).


Here is how it looks like on the eyes. 



I find matte finish liquid eyeliner are rare. Although, I know most of Essence and Catrice liners do have that finish. It's definitely a great eyeliner and if you look for something precise, with matte finish and very long lasting power - go for it. It's maybe not for those, who have watery eyes or find liquid liners harder to work with. 

Dark red lips for fall

Hey Beauties!

If I mention fall makeup, what is the first thing that pops into your mind? For me, it's dark red lipstick. It's the perfect color for fall and it makes any makeup look so much more polished and done. Since I have finally found the right dark red shade for me, I decided to treat it with a little simple makeup tutorial. The detailed review of the lipstick will come in a separate post.


The star of this makeup is dark red matte lipstick with orange undertone. It's NYX Matte lipstick in the shade Alabama.


I paired my lipstick with the most simple eye makeup, consisting only of two shades. One matte taupe shade in the outer corner of the eye and going inward into the crease. Then I added shimmery copper shade to blend with the orange warmness of the lipstick.


Of course I added a little winged liner and mascara.



I also added a brick red blush and a little golden highlight to lift up the whole look.



What is your favorite lip shade for the fall?
