Shiseido is a Japanese brand I love and featured on the blog already some times (here). I think in Europe it is mainly know as a skincare brand but the brand also offers a wide range of makeup items. I particularly love their Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Foundation for example!

Today is all about lips and new lip products from the brand Shiseido!

About one month ago I had the chance to attend an event held by Sephora for the launch of Givenchy Beauty in Switzerland! The event was great and we were lucky enough to try some of Givenchy's iconic products, namely their "Le Rouge" lipsticks and their loose powder. I had already heard a lot of good things about their lipsticks, being particularly comfortable for the lips, but I discovered that their loose powder is apparently one of the best powders on the market.

 

 

 

I hope your weekend was beautiful and peaceful and I wish you all the best for the upcoming week. It's already October but surprisingly the weather is still so warm that my brain can't process the information that fall is here, my thoughts are still in a summer vibe!

 

Anyway, today I wanted to show you some new lip products from Dior.

 

 

Fenty Beauty is now available in Switzerland at Manor/Sephora, in store and on-line! What amazing news!

 

 

Hi everyone!

 

How's July started for you? For me, much work and also with the heat hitting Switzerland at the moment, I couldn't find much time to come over here and blog...nyaaaa~ sorry, but I promise, I'm doing my best :D

 

Today I have some news from Bourjois. Bourjois is a brand I've used a lot in the past, because it's a very nice drugstore brand in my opinion, but for some reasons I didn't reached for it in the past years so I'm actually quite happy to be able to try the brand again and rediscover it!

 

 

 

 

Hi everyone! I can't believe mid June is already there! Time flies~~ that's crazy!

 

Anyway here I am today to show you some of Estée Lauder new lippies, the Pure Color Envy Paint-On Liquid Lip Colors!

I've already quickly shown them in my previous post about Estée's news for Spring/Summer here.

 

Glossy lips seem to make a huge come back this spring/summer and this makes me happy because although I love matte lips, there is always something beautiful about juicy and luscious lips, isn't it? The only thing I don't like about glossy lip products: they tend to last only 1-2 hours and then you have to reapply. When you're working all day, touch-ups are not always possible and that's mainly why I've been loving matte lipsticks or lip tints, they last from morning to lunch and from lunch until the end of the afternoon and you don't have to worry about your lipstick.

Today I have lots of new Estée Lauder products to share with you and be ready because there are some serious gems!

 

 

Hi everyone!
This week has been long and tough so I'm happy to finally be on weekend and have some time to rest! How has your week?

 

Today I have some Shiseido products to show you! 2 matte lippies, a brown mascara, an eyeliner and a new cream! Let's have a look together, shall we?

 

Hi everyone!

Long time no see! I know...I'm quite busy at the moment and haven't been able to do much blog work during the week but ...here I am and with lots of cool products!

I actually received some products from Wet'n'Wild last fall and last winter and I've been using some of them ever since. Because I really like some of them and considering their price and quality, I had to talk about them in more details here!

Hi guys,

I hope everything is fine for you and that you had a great weekend!

Today I have some Nars products to show you. These were released this fall and there are some gems in there :D

Estée Lauder and Victoria Beckham did it again!

Last year, the ultra chic and elegant Victoria Beckham collaborated with Estée Lauder to create a sumptuous makeup collection. It goes without saying that the collection was a roaring success and that's also probably why they decided to launch a new collection this year. This collection contains some hit items from last year plus brand new products.

Hi everyone,

If you love makeup, you've probably heard it: Kat von D is now available in Switzerland in all Sephora (Sephora is present in some Manor). How cool is that?

I'm really happy about this because I love the brand. I had the chance to get some of her products when the brand launched in France at the beginning of the year plus I've bought and received some additional products now that the brand is easily available in our country! So I'll show you what I have :D

A new Dior collection and it's all about metallic, deep shades and colors perfect for fall! :D Fall are always my favorite collections so I was super happy to discover this one by Dior!

I bought some products of the collection and I can't wait to show you these babies. Are you ready for this review?

In fact, in addition to the Metallics collection, Dior launched new lipsticks and nail polishes, but I decided to regroup everything under this same post.

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all spending a nice summer and that you have some free time to relax and recharge your batteries! 

In Switzerland, it's crazy hot at the moment so the perfect time of the year to unleash your inner Bronze Goddess :D

Hi everyone!

Today I have a very special blog post about the new Estée Lauder Pure Color Love lipsticks!

You know I'm a lipstick junkie and I love Estée Lauder lipsticks (see a breakdown of all EL Pure Color Envy lipsticks here) so you can imagine how excited I was when I received the complete collection of this new line! :D 

According to Estée Lauder, you can easily mix and match the different colors to create unique looks. 

Also according to my PR info, Naugthy-Nice, Strapless, Hi Voltage, Sky High, Sly Wink, Flash Chill, Rebel Glam, Moon Rock, Nova Noir, and Pocket Venus are limited edition, the other ones are permanent.

The Shimmer Peals are sheer/semi-sheer lipsticks with a high shine finish. Haute & Cold is more pigmented than the others. I wore 360 Flash Chill (it was the first one of the 30 lipsticks I wore to go to work) and 460 Ripped Raisin a couple of times and was rather impressed with their staying power. They lasted about 4-5 hours on my lips. They are super comfortable to wear  because they have a balm-like conistency. I think this finish is a perfect summer finish, it looks fresh and summery! 

I first thought that the ultra matte finish would be my favorite but I must say that I really really like these shimmery shades! 

The Edgy Creams are semi-opaque to opaque colors. You need 2 layers to get full coverage. They are creamy and therefore really comfortable. Again I was rather impressed with their staying power, 4-5 hours on me.

My favorites are 130 Strapless, 330 Wild Poppy, 340 Hot Rumor, and 450 Orchid Infinity. I've also enjoyed wearing 440 Hi-Voltage as gradient lips :D

The Ultra Mattes are seriously gorgeous. They have a velvety matte finish that looks super sophisticated. I just love them!

Among the nudes, my favorite is 110 Raw Sugar, it's the more brown of the 3 (110 Blasé Buff is more peach and 200 Proven Innocent is more pink). My other favorites are 320 Burning Love, 230 Juiced Up, 310 Bar Red (the most perfect matte red ever!), 120 Rose Excess, and 410 Love Object. 420 Up Beet (the darkest shade) looks a bit dry on me but it was the 16th lipstick I swatched so yes my lips were getting really dry. I've tried it in normal conditions and it looks fine.

Although they're matte, they are not drying. They are more creamy than Mac retro mattes for example. They last typically 6+hours on me, the nudes last less, something like 4-5h.

And finally the Cool Chromes are sheer colors packed with tiny glitters. The glitters are so small you can't feel them on the lips, they don't feel gritty at all and are therefore comfortable. 

370 Pocket Venus and 480 Nova Noir are wearable on their own. I particularly love Pocket Venus and it looks also awesome over a matte red (perfect xmas lips!) ;) I'm less convinced by 470 Moon Rock, I don't really like it on its own nor layered, but that's actually the only one on 30 lipsticks I wouldn't wear so not bad :D

So overall I really love these new Pure Color Love lipsticks. I think the 4 finishes are super comfortable and I love the range of colors available. There are many nudes in both the cream and matte formula. I also really like the shimmery shades, they're perfect for summer in my opinion. I'm also very happy with the darker shades in the matte finish!

The shape of the bullet is also very unique and I actually like it, it's easier to use than what I first thought! 

So I hope you enjoyed this post! Tell me if you have already bought some of them or which one is your favorite!

Estée Lauder products can be purchased from autorized retailers (Nordstrom, Selfridges, Marionnaud, Douglas, Manor, Globus). For Switzerland, you can now buy online at EstéeLauder.ch.
