My Stila Crush - Countless Color Pigments in Encore

Hello Everyone,

Today I just thought of sharing the color pigment that I've been reaching for the most this week.

Yes, Im talking about the Stila Countless Color Pigments in the shade 'Encore'.

To me, this little compact really stood out from the entire collection. I completely fell in love with it at first sight and had to grab it. Besides, these are the combination of colours that I usually gravitate towards in any palette and having this trio in one single and little compact was a life-saver. It offers you so many possibilities, contains a lot of product, is easy to grab on the go, very travel friendly, well as you can probably tell, ticks all the right boxes.

Whenever I am using only this palette, the Rosy colour is just goes as a base all over the eye. The darker purple-ly/ mauvy can be used to intensify the crease or just the outer edge of the eye and create a smokey look for a night out.

And the lighter shade is just the gorgeous highlighter I've ever seen, that sometimes I wish I had it separately in an entire pan.  I like to pop it in the inner corners of the eye, or simply just dabbing it on the center of the eye, just to create a light-reflecting/ 3D effect to your eyelook or even under the brow bone (but be careful, can look a bit outdated since it's not matte but can work great if applied properly) .

What I love about this palette is that there're just really 'countless' ways you can play with it. Either combining two colours to create a different shade or just swirling your brush around also create a nice colour and if done well, this can also be used as a blush. However, this little compact can also be used in conjunction with other palettes and you can create amazing looks. But, I truly believe this palette is sufficient to go from day to night look and I always have to have it in my regular makeup bag, because you never know when a fancy date night can crop up.

Anyway,

I just hope that all of it made some sense to you,

 I'd be glad to hear your views on the colour pigments or any other Stila product that you think I should try.

See you soon.

Bourjois Paris Rouge Edition Lipsticks

Hi Guys,

I'm on board with another lipstick review, which are the Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipsticks. They have been in my collection for a while and I was thinking they deserve a little bit more of my attention and decided that they should finally make their way here.

I really wanted to see how they apply and I got four of them in total as I did not want to start with a lot in case I'd end up not liking them. And I must say that I'm quite glad I got them because these shades are so beautiful. I always look to buy them online on Asos when there's a really good deal going on. I believe they retail for around £5 to £7.

Packaging wise, they look really adorable and the bottom part really matches with how the lipstick would look like in real life. ;)

These lipsticks go by names and numbers, which I think is cool for identification

  Shade 07 - Fuchsia graffiti

Shade 18 - Violine strass

Shade 04 - Rose Tweed

Shade 13- Rouge jet set

Shade 07, by the name is a fuchsia pink which I love but I am really not a bright-lip-colour kind-a-girl. What I often do is quickly dab it on my lips for an everyday-wear-summery-pink.

Shade 18 is more on plummy/ berry side. There are days (many days) where I'd rather use it as a stain when I'm in the mood for a berry-red lip. Besides, this is the lipstick I go for the most, among these four.

Shade 04 is a nice pale pink and would only work for me depending the type of makeup I am going for. With my skin tone (NW40), it would look rather like a barbie pink than a more preferred nude pink.

Shade 13 is a very lovely red. It's definitely one of those colour any girl would like to wear to go clubbing. I find it quite similar to the Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick 111 in swatches, not texture.

Also, they do have little shinny particles and are not matte lipsticks. They glide on very smoothly on the lips and do have a glossy finish. These lipsticks are very soft and do feel very comfortable. Plus, they carry a quite pleasant smell and also have long lasting powers.

These are the kind of lipsticks you definitely should keep in your make-up collection. If you do already, what do you think of them and which shade should I get from this range? Or are there other lipsticks I should try out from Bourjois? (because Im definitely in the market for that). I'd be more than glad to hear from you.
