First Impressions: Essence Crystal Eyeliner

Leave a Comment
Hi again :) it's the last day of 2014 yaaay :)

I decided I'll do new kind of posts - so here it is, my first impressions post and it's about Essence Crystal Eyeliner in 01 Twinkly Starlight.


It's basically just a liquid glitter eyeliner, I think it's very nice for this time of year :) I tried it on it's own and then over the black eyeliner. I don't like how it looks on it's own, I would like more glitter in it, however over the black eyeliner it looks georgeous :)


I just tried it today & the staying power is nice. I've been wearing it for 4 hours now & it still looks the same.


Essence has  4 other colours also and I think I'll  try a gold one too.. Looks amazing!


I hope you like these kind of posts :) Have a nice day!

Kiko Cream Eyeshadow - Gold

2 comments
Hi cuties :)

Today I'll talk about a Kiko cream eyeshadow that I bought in November :)

 & I'm sorry I don't post a lot, I just don't find the time.. I'll try to post at least once a week from now on & I've been thinking I want to start new posts - First impressions (let me know if you want to see those kinds of posts :))

So, let's start!

This beauty is a Kiko Cream Eye Shadow.  For anyone that doesn't know, Kiko is an Italian professional cosmetics brand that features a range of cutting-edge makeup, face and body treatments. I love their nail polishes, they last on me very long so it was time to try their make up also ;)

I love the packaging of this - so cute :) and the colour is georgeous too, a shimmery gold. It contains 3 grams, not bad for a single eyeshadow.



However, I had my doubts when I ordered this because it is creamy and usually cream eyeshadows and my oily lids don't go very well together :)


It wasn't any different with this one. I used a primer that I normally use but it just didn't last.. I think it lasted about half an hour on my lids... Such a disappointment, because I'm in love with colour. But really consider that I have oily lids!


PROS:
           - beautiful colour
           - packaging
           - very wearable

CONS:
           - creamy
  
When I got this eyeshadow I also got a regular black one, but I didn't try it yet & if you want me to I'll do a first impression post on it. 
 
And my new year's gift to one of my Slovenian followers: if any of you would like to try this, tell me & I'll send it to you! (it's been used with a brush ;))

Katja

Christmas TAG

2 comments
Hi guys!

I have another TAG for you & it's about christmassss :) I was tagged by Manca - Invisibly Perfect




1. What is your favourite thing about Christmas?
My favourite thing about Christmas must be that feeling and excitement you feel leading up to Christmas day :)

2. Giving or receiving presents?
Both. I really like receiving presents that I know are picked carefully and made with love. But I also love to give presents :)

3. Real or fake tree?
We have a fake tree now, but when I was little we always had real ones. Me & my boyfriend are gonna probably get the real one next year, I hope. :) I love the smell of the real one.

4. If you could only buy one person a present this year, who would it be?
Omg.. I would rather not buy any presents at all. I wouldn't be able to choose only one person.

5. Do you open your presents in the morning or evening?
Always in the morning.

6. Handmade or bought Christmas cards?
Neither. We don't send any cards, so yeah... :)

7. Do you like to stay in your PJ’s, or dress up for Christmas?
Dress up :)

8. What is your favourite Christmas film?
It has to be Home Alone :D

9. Have you ever made a snowman?
I did, but quite a long time ago.


I TAG: Tanita from Smile Everyday

I hope you enjoyed this and there's probably gonna be some more christmas themed posts comming soon ;)

xoxo,
Katja

November Favorites

Hello again :P

I'm a little bit late with this post, but anyway it's here ;)


LIPS

Even though this lipstick is in my latest post (November new in) I've actually purchased it in the start of November so I had quite a lot of time to try it. And I must say, I've been loving it. It's really not a "me" colour but it's amazing. This is Avon Colortrend lipstick called Gerbera. It's a very dark colour, on my lips actually turns out like a dark violet. I love it!


FACE

This past month I've been using this blush from Elf like everyday. It's a beautiful rose colour & it gives you a very natural look. It's called Natural Radiance Blusher & I'm sorry but I don't know the shade of this one because it erased from the packaging (cuz it's well loved as you can see :P)


NAILS

Well, I bought this nail polish remover in October & I've been using it since than. This guys is a time saver for sure! :D It's Ebelin Professional Express Nagellackentferner. I can't even express how much I'm happy with this product. Does the job quick, easy & you don't need pads or anything else. You just put your finger in this pot that contains nail polish remover of course & turn around a few times & THAT'S IT. Pretty easy, isn't it? I'm sure I'm not going back to the regular remover.


& the last thing is this Nail Polish from Avon Colortrend called Silver Plated. I enjoy this one a lot. It's actually a clear nail polish that contains silver glitter. Perfect for this time of year;)

You can see a manicure with it quite a lot in my NOTD's posts - for example HERE

Well, we've come to the end of this post and I hope you enjoyed it ;)

xoxo,
Katja
