Red Lips, didn't think I would but I like it

Hi! 

This is just a Look of the Day post, I hope you'll like it!
Ce post est juste un Look du Jour, j'èspère que vous allez aimer!

On my lips I just applied some Aloe Vera transparent Lip balm and then applied the red colour pencil from this post over it.

Sur mes lèvres, jai juste mis du baume à lèvres transparent à l'Aloe vera (de chez Réserve Naturelle) puis j'ai mis le crayon rouge par dessus.

  Here's the pencil on it's own swatched on the left and smudged on the right.
Voici un swatch du crayon tout seul à gauche et estompé à droite.

 Natural light (daylight through the window).
A la lumière du jour (qui entre par la fenêtre).

 With flash, it looks a bit washed out and pink.
Avec le flash ça l'air un peu rose/rose foncé.

I will update this post with the products used asap so keep an eye out for that. Until then, take care.
Voici une photo plus rapprochée de mes yeux, j'ai utilisé la technique des faux cils coupés en deux dont je vous explique tous les détails dans mon post précédent. Prenez soin de vous et à bientôt.

See you! Bye!

Chubby sticks, swatches and review

Hi!

Let's get right into it,

the first three are from Kiko Milano cosmetics that you know I really love already and from Clinique which is a bit more high end.

The two from Kiko are 01 Peach coral and 06 Nude Rose and the Clinique one is 14 Curvy Candy.

The Clinique Chubby stick is a moisturizing lip colour balm. It comes in 16 colours that include 8 new colours.

Claims from Clinique Website: Super-nourishing balm is loaded with mango and shea butters. Just what dry, delicate lips need to feel comfortably soft and smooth. Sixteen natural-looking lip tints in all, each with a subtle sheen.

How to use:Apply directly to lips. For subtle definition outline lips first, then fill in with natural-looking colour. Never needs sharpening: simply swivel up to reveal more lip colour balm.

The Kiko Milano cosmetics one is a Lavish Lips Creamy Lipgloss and comes in 6 different colours.

Claims from Kiko Cosmetics Milano Website:Wet look lip gloss pencil of the  "Lavish Oriental" limited edition collection.Pure concentrated shine in a soft, smooth lead to make up your lips in a few gestures, with an ultra-glossy result as simple as it is effective.Its soft gel consistency glides on your lips like a crayon giving a sensation of moisturizing smoothness and never-ending comfort.

How to use:Thanks to its innovative packaging, Lavish Lips Creamy Lipgloss is always ready to use: just rotate the pencil base to bring up the lead, no sharpening required.

Available in 6 trendy shades.

Hypoallergenic product = formulated to ensure minimum instance of allergic reactions.

I obviously used this one much more than the two others, it actually stays in whatever purse I'm carrying, the packaging is really handy for quick touch ups wherever you are.

Here are the swatches of all three on my wrist:

From left to right: 06 Nude Rose, 01 Peach Coral and 14 Curvy Candy. I swiped them in a sort of oval shape. They were applied on my bare skin without any primer or anything.

Here is a closeup of all three colours in the same order as above.

What I like about all three of them:

I think that the finish that it gives on the lips is the same as when you apply lipstick with some clear gloss on top, minus the effort of course, what's not to like? =)

They are very portable and easy to use even without a mirror there's little to no chance of messing up. They are very moisturizing and not sticky at all. All three have the exact same consistency and last as long (on me, about 3 to 4 hours if I don't eat). To intensify the colour and also to make it last even longer I use a lip pencil in the same colour or a shade darker all over my lips and then apply this.

What I don't like:

if applied heavily they will make your lips look greasy and sticky, and the only other drawback would be pricewise for the Clinique one. The Clinique Chubby Stick retails at 19€ at Sephora and the Kiko Lipgloss is at 6.90€ in stores and on the Kiko website. I could get two of the Kiko one for less than what I paid for the Clinique one.I guess sometimes you do pay for the brand...

Would I be repurchasing or not and why:

I really love these chubby sticks and will deffinitely be repurchasing some from the Kiko brand as I find them identical to the Clinique one. There's more colour choice for the Clinique one but I'm not much of a lip product user anyway so I guess I'd rather splurge on an eyeshadow palette or something like that.

Do any of you own any of these? Or any chubby sticks from other brands? I can't wait to try the one from Revlon too.

I hope this review was helpful and that it answered any questions that you may have had about these products.Thanks for reading.

See you all soon for another product review and what I'm wearing on my nails. Until then, take care!

See you! Bye!

"Me Now Generation II" Eye and Lip liner pencils look and review

Hello! 

So today I'm gonna do a product review,as promised earlier, it's about those pencils I got as a gift from an ebay seller with one of my purchases.

This is as usual, my true and honest opinion about the product.

I would say that my overall first impression of the product was slightly bad because there was a kind of "plastic" smell when I opened the pack.

I think it's because of the wrapper used because now it doesn't have any smell whatsoever, which is more than fine by me.

The pigmentation is very good on the skin, you can get a good amount of colour with just one light swipe. It's also very easy to blend and to apply.

On the top is one swipe of the black pencil, on the bottom is a light swipe that I just run my finger over to see if it was easy to smudge.

Did the same with the red one too.

I decided to do a look after swatching them.

Update:

Swatches of all the colours on my wrist, no primer applied.

 These colours are matte and don't have any shimmer except for the purple one.

 These are the colours that have a bit of shimmer to them.

 The matte liners, swatched on paper.

The shimmer liners, swatched on paper.

All in all I would give it a 8/10 because it's not waterproof, otherwise I really like them.

Thanks for reading and see you soon, 

Until then, Take care, 

Bye!
