Girls, let's talk about... #Makeup: NYX butter gloss BLG05 Creme Brulee


So far I've tried some very expensive brands and also ones we can find in a drugstores. 
I have not yet found a lip gloss I was totally thrilled with.

I read a lot of recommendations for NYX butter lip glosses
I decided to try it myself.
I like neutrals, flesh-colored glosses, so the choice fell to BLG05Creme Brulee.
Another one I would like to try is BLG07 Tiramisu.








First impresion:

The bottle is small enough to be nicely packed in a cosmetic bag.
The applicator is spongy, provides a nice applying gloss on the lips, the drawback is that we get very little product on applicator.

Color: light, pale pink shade.

Smell: the sweet smell of sugar and cake.

Shine is thick enough and it does not run and does not leak when applying on the lips. 

The feeling on the lips: not too sticky, it is pleasant, the lips are soft, drawback is that it is not too durable and fast disappearing (but this is a disadvantage of all others shine I've tried, even those very expensive ones).


 
 
 just applied to lips
After 2h (without drinking or eating)
  


I would say this is nice everyday lip gloss.
Affordable, moisturizing, pleasant fragrance.
Without great expectations, this neutral glow will satisfy you.
 

Girls, let's talk about... #Makeup: MAC Sheertone Shimmer - Springsheen

MAC Cosmetics products are one of the most desired pieces in the makeup collection of every woman / girl.  
I do not know whether the reason for that is a good campaign and advertisements or really high quality of products.
    
Prices are quite high and MAC cosmetics is not available for every budget.
As someone who does not wear makeup every day, but certainly keep up a good appearance, following the trends and novelties, I think, some pieces are simply indispensable in the cosmetic bag of every girl. 
Will it be a good mascara, lipstick / gloss or something else, it depends on the personality and style. 

For me, blush gives a special dimension to the look. 
It is great tool in the hands of skilled women, completely refreshes the face and ennobling it, making you more romantic or seductive.  

I chose a blush which proved to be very universal. Day or night, summer or winter, in combination with various outfits - this blush is perfect match!
Here is review of my favorite blush. 





MAC Sheertone Shimmer - Springsheen  

 For this type of blushes, MAC says:

"Baked minerals refined into a powder blush formula to provide exceptionally sheer and lightweight application. Colour builds lightly, layer after layer, without heavy coverage. Veils and enhances the cheekbones with a luminous, pearlized shimmer. New mirrored compact."





Springsheen is a gorgeous, warm toned, beautiful pinky-peachy coral color with the golden shimmer, gives the face a freshness, healthy and refines appearance. 
Does not accentuate any imperfections or pores which is very important.
Easy to apply and blend. 
You don't need bronzers or highlighters after using this beauty.
It lasts all day, and stability is a very important quality for the blush.

I have it for a long time and I'm very satisfied with the results.
My ten is pale pink and I do not like that, so I
correcting it with powder that is in sandy shades.

Although it is heavily pigmented, you can dosing how much blush you like on your cheeks. More or less color, with sparkling minerals.
I warmly recommend this shade as obligatory piece of makeup.
Compensation for the high cost is quality and also the amount of blush in a container that lasts a long time.

Girls, let's talk about... #Nails: Nailpolishes Catrice and P2

      
               The color of nail polish that I always gladly use is "taupe".

  A few years ago this shade did not exist on the market.  
I used to make alone this shade by mixing various nail polishes and pigments. Today almost all manufacturers have this shade in the palette.
I like it because it looks good on short and on longer nails.
Goes with various fashion trends, both, sports and elegant ones.
 It is always trendy, you can wear it in any season or part of the day.


            

                     #Catrice Nail Lacquer Nr 220 (Lost in Mud) and 
                              #P2 Color Victim nail polish  Nr 208 (rish&royal)
(these are drugstore products, the price is affordable and, quality is quite good)
