June Glossybox: Summer Looks Edition

This month Glossybox is all about getting you ready for the summer! And I think they did really well!! I will be definitely using all of the products in my box, I have to say there is nothing really special in it, but everything they send me it's a must have for me :)

Here is what I've got:

Helen E Cosmetics- Lip Crayon in Red Carpet (full size £8)

Figs & Rouge- Lip Balm in Cherry Blossom (full size £5)

MEMEME Cosmetics Eye Inspare Mono Eyeshadow in Steel (full size £4.99)

Monu Professional Skincare Hidratating Moisturiser SPF15 (sample size 30ml £18)

Total value of my glossybox: £39.14

Rimmel Lipstick Kate Moss Review: 02,06 & 13

First time trying out this Lippies and i have to say i'm really impressed!! 

The colors that i got are:

02: Bright Fucshia

06: Raspberry hot pink

13: Coral Pink

First of all the packaging is quite nice for a drugstore lipstick, black with the Kate Moss Signature in red. Texture  is very smooth and creamy, it applies really well, the pigmentation is great too almost opaque with one coat. The best of it it lasts about 4 to 5 hours!! :) And finally another extra point for the lovely fruity smell, some sort of watermelon. The color range is pretty good so i think i'll be getting more of this lovelies ;). One thing i don't like is the fact they don't have names just numbers :( Also i got mine from www.fragrancedirect.co.uk for only £1.99 each!! Great buy after all! 

What colors should i try next?

L'Occitane: La Collection de Grasse

La Collection De Grasse is the new collection of fragrances from L’Occitane. It's been develop by L’OCCITANE’s private perfumer, Karine Dubreil. And Grasse is not only where the perfumer in this case is from but also it's considered the world's capital of perfume. There are 4 different scents to choose from:

Jasmin & Bergamote: a sensual and luminous union between jazmín from Grasse and bergamot from Italy.

Magnolia & Mûre: a mysterious and charming union between magnolia from the Far East and blackberry from the South of France.

Vanille & Narcisse: a radiant and voluptuous embrace between vanilla from Madagascar and narcissus from France.

Thé Vert & Bigarade: a refreshing union between the aromatic green tea and the zesty bitter orange(unisex).

You can get them separately as full size perfum bottles or you can get this handy sampler set that contains the four of them in minituare bottles, perfect for traveling and to try and test the 4 different ones in case you're not sure wich one to pick! I think is also perfect for gifting! (I actually got this set as a gift for my birthday last week and I was very happy to get it! :) I love L'Occitane products I've always used their hand cream, shower gels.. But have never try any of their perfums, so this was my perfect starter pack! ;) My favourites from this collection Jazmín & Bergamote and Vanille & Narcisse. I think this set is around £28.

L'Occitane: La Colección de Grasse

La Collection De Grasse es la nueva colección de fragrancias de L’Occitane’s. Esta colección ha sido desarrollada por la perfumista exclusiva de L’OCCITANE, Karine Dubreil. Y Grasse en este caso no es sólo donde se crio sino que también está consideradon la capital del mundo del perfume. Hay 4 esencias diferentes para elegir:

Jasmin & Bergamote (Jazmín y Bergamota): union sensual y luminosa entre jazmín de Grasse y bergamota (especie de lima muy aromática) de Italia.

Magnolia & Mûre (Magnolia y Mora): notas de magnolia, realizadas con aceite esencial del lejano oriente, combinadas con mora silvestre, lo cual le da un perfil amaderado y tierno.  

Vanille & Narcisse (Vainilla y Narciso): unión radiante entre vanilla de Madagascar y narcisos de Francia.

Thé Vert & Bigarade (té verde y Bidarade): refrescante unión unión entre el aromático té verde y la naranja amarga del Mediterraneo (unisex).

Estos perfumes se pueden comprar individualmente por separado o también puedes comprar este set tipo de viaje, que contiene miniaturas de los 4 perfumes. Perfecto para viajar y para probar los 4 en caso que no sepas con cual quedarte! Y me parece ideal ambién para regalar! (De hecho este set me lo regalaron la semana pasada por mi cumpleaños, y estoy encantada! :) Me encantan los productos de L'Occitane, siempre había usado sus creams de manos, gel de ducha..., pero nunca había probado ninguno de sus perfumes, así que ha sido una manera perfecta de empezar a conocerlos! ;). Mis favoritos en ésta colección son: Jazmín & Bergamote y Vanille & Narciso. Creo que este set cuesta unos £28.

Paul & Joe Vintage Inspired Lipstick Case

This is another pretty lipstick case from Paul & Joe. This one is made from plastic not like the other 3 that i have that are made with paper. It's pink and cream with some details in gold like the P & J logo on the top of the lid. It's really nice and classy looking and it also has a really nice vintage feeling. I bought mine from Beautybay.com for £6. Once you have your case all you need is to pick a pretty shade of lipstick refill to go in. The one i've picked for my case is shade 305 La Vie en Rose, a beautiful fucshia :)
Do you have any Paul & Joe Lipstick cases?

New Primark Makeup: Baked Eyeshadows

Today I have some pictures and swatches from the new makeup line from Primark. I was showing you yesterday the two new blushes they have and today I have the eyeshadows. They are called Baked Eyeshadows, they are duos and at the moment you can only get them in a silver/ black or beige/ brown color. They are €1.50 each, and again the packaging and the look of this eyeshadows are much better than they used to... thinking MAC again...

Hoy tengo algunas fotos y swatches de la nueva linea de maquillaje de Primark. Ayer os enseñé sus dos coloretes nuevos y hoy tengo las sombras de ojos para enseñaros. Se llaman Baked Eyeshadows, son duos y por el momento sólo se pueden conseguir en dos tonos plata/ negro y beige/ marrón. Valen €1.50 cada uno, y como con los coloretes el packaging y el look general de estas sombras está muchísimo mejor que antes... Pensando en MAC otra vez...

New Primark Makeup: Blushers

I was in Penneys today and saw they had pimped out all their makeup collection, with a lot nicer packaging (similar to MAC...), still not much choice regarding to shades, i wonder will they be adding more colors to the collection. Today in the store i was, they only had 2 different color blushes (with no name on them, i really hate when thinks don't have name!) and 2 different eyeshadows. Today i'm gonna show you some Pictures and swatches of the blushes, one is a lovely Barbie pink and the other one is some sort of coppery bronze. I was very impressed with the pigmentation on both, for the price you pay €3, it's a really good value. So if you are looking for some new blushes but don't want to spend a fortune i'd give them a try! ;)
What do you think?

Nuevo Maquillaje de Primark: Coloretes

Hoy he ido a un Primark y he visto que tenian una nueva colección de productos de maquillaje, con una imagen nueva y mucho más atractiva que la anterior (le da un aire parecido al packaging de MAC...), pero la gama de tonos a elegir sigue siendo super pequeña, me pregunto si irán añadiendo más colores a esta colección nueva. De momento, en la tienda que he estado hoy sólo tiene dos colores diferentes de colorete (no tienen ningún nombre para diferenciarlos, no me gusta nada cuando las cosas no tienen nombre!), y otros dos de sombras de ojos. Hoy os voy a enseñar algunas fotos y swatches de los coloretes, uno es un rosa Barbie muy chulo y el otro es un tono bronce. La verdad, me ha impresionado mucho la pigmentación de estos coloretes, para el precio que tienen €3 son una buena ganga. Así que si quieres probar o buscas unos coloretes nuevos pero no quieres gastarte una fortuna, yo les daría una oportunidad y los probaría! ;)

Swatches & Pictures

OPI Euro Centrale: Euro Minis

I was so excited waiting for this lovely to arrive! It's the Euro Minis, from the new collection Euro Centrale by OPI. I ordered this last weekend from ASOS when they had a 10% off promo, think it was £12.50.  The Euro Centrale collection consist of 12 new polishes for spring/summer 2013.
The ones you get with this mini collection are:

Can't Find my Czechbook: bright aqua blue, nice and opaque with 2 coats
Suzi's Hungary AGAIN!: very summery watermelon pink, loving the shade but not the formula, super streaky! My swatch is with 4 coats! :(
You're Such a BudaPest: very pretty lavender blue/ purple, a bit streaky again, you'll need 3 coats for full opacity
OY-Another Polish Joke!: Yellow Gold shimmer, think it will be very nice for summer! :) my swatch is with 3 coats. Also it could be use as a top coat ;)

Overall I like this collection, the colors are very nice, the only dissapointing part is some of the formulas, since they are so streaky you need loads of coats to get a nice finish.
