FLOWER BEAUTY – Petal Pout Lipstick in “Naked Blush”

This is my first lipstick purchase from Flower Beauty!

At $7.99, it’s quite affordable (and even better if you grab it on sale).

Here’s my swatch:

Flower Beauty Petal Pout Naked Blush swatch

This shade is a very pretty pinky nude in a matte finish. It’s definitely a little more of a spiced looking pink shade in person than it looked online.

It’s a comfortable kind of matte, which also means it will rub off more easily.
The lipstick I got keeps coming loose from the tube, and I have to be careful when applying so the whole thing won’t break off.
As time goes by it seems to get more dry and might be more draggy during application than it previoysly was.

✔️Overall: I think this is a nice affordable lipstick in a really pretty colour and is worth trying out, however, the tube/mechanism needs improvement, and the formula could also be improved.

Have you used any of their lipsticks? What do you think of their formula?

Colourpop – Baby Got Peach Swatches & Review

Colourpop – Baby Got Peach Swatches & Review

This is a very pretty and intriguing palette if you love peach tones. Here are my swatches:

And here is a closeup of the beautiful glitter, “Hungry Ghost”:

After using it for a while, these are my thoughts:

The formula doesn’t seem any different from the other CP palettes. Blends easily.
The glitter sticks easily wherever you place it, with minimal fallout.
However, there’s a very limited amount of looks you can make with this palette. Even using different shades will result in similar eye looks.
A lot of colours translate differently on skin VS the pan.
The glitter is beautiful and multi coloured, but is very chunky.

✔️Overall: For $12, this is a cute addition for any peach lover – However you might find yourself bored and uninspired after a few uses. Although the shades are different from their Sweet Talk palette, I think you could create similar & more varied looks with that one.

Do you have this one? If so, do you agree? HAPPY FRIDAY!

R+Co Curl Shampoo & Primer review

R+Co Curl Shampoo & Primer review

Sooo I have wavy/curly hair, but I’ve been fighting it most of my life.

A year ago I decided I was tired of fighting so hard every time I wash my hair. So I started using a different brand of curly/wavy hair products and letting my hair do its thing.

At first I was really happy, but after a few months I noticed my hair was thinning and found out it was from the products I was using. This is when these R+Co products came to my rescue.

When they offered me to try these for free, at first I rejected the idea (I don’t mention it much, but I reject a lot of PR if it doesn’t fit my taste/vibe. Recently I even rejected a $400 skincare device). But after realizing my previous hair routine was giving me problems, I decided to accept this opportunity, not knowing what to expect, since my hair was in bad shape already.

R+Co Curl primer

The Casette Curl Shampoo cleans and hydrates my dry waves SO WELL with its Superseed Oil Complex.
I use my conditioner afterwards and scrunch my hair with a microfiber towel when I’m out of the shower.
Then I use their Twister Curl Primer and scrunch some more, letting it air dry.
✔️The results are really well defined waves and curls with no crunch. Not all curl creams can do this without leaving a waxy or sticky residue. This one does!

I’m already halfway through these and will be repurchasing.

Question of the day: Do you have naturally straight hair, or wavy/curly? And if so, do you straighten it like I used to?

SKINCARE REVIEW – Erno Laszlo Hydra-Therapy line

SKINCARE REVIEW – Erno Laszlo Hydra-Therapy line

I have dry skin. That’s a fact I can’t change. Actually, I have dry everything – My hair and my eyes are kinda dry too…

So I smother myself with hydrating products. Every. Day.
Enter this luxurious skincare line from Erno Laszlo.

I honestly had no previous experience with this brand. I just knew Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Kennedy used it and liked it. They were so cool and sent it to me just in exchange for an honest review. They are the most laid back, cool PR I have ever received.
I’ve been using it for a couple of months now and overall I really enjoy it.

1️⃣The Serum is my fave. Not only is it gorgeous but it seriously quenches my skin with its micro droplets of oil (made with Papyrus sap, Sea Fennel & Babassu Seed Oil)
2️⃣The Sleep Mask (center): It’s super cool and has a very light texture. When you put it on, it feels like a super thin refreshing layer, but it ACTUALLY locks in my moisture all night.
3️⃣The Foaming Cleanser (left): I really like how it really cleans my skin but doesn’t make it feel dry afterwards. However when it gets in my eyes, it stings like I wanna punch somebody. So I only use this one when I’m not trying to wash makeup off.

Erno Laszlo Hydra Therapy serum

Overall, I love this line and it’s very effective at hydrating my skin. However, it is pricey. I’d repurchase the serum and the night mask, but only during a promotion/sale.

What’s an expensive skincare item you can’t go without? I feel like most people have one!
