I've recently hoarded a nice little beauty loot and I wanted to show what I'll be reviewing in the next few days and weeks. Some things I've already tried out whilst others are quite new to me and we have some familiar products in exciting shades. Let's kick things off with new things from Manhattan Cosmetics. Maybe you remember the review of the Manhattan Powder Rouge Tender Touch Blush in shade Eelgant Violet, I posted awhile ago (back in February)? Well, it's one of the best drugstore blushes I own, both in texture and longevity all whilst the shade is pretty universal. Now I own Manhattan Powder Rouge Tender Touch Blush in Secret Lovers which seems to be one of those pinky/peachy shades – again, quite universal and flattering on most skin tones. I cannot wait to dig in and give it a go because I think it would look very pretty with a tan. Something completely new to me from the brand are their eyeshadow palettes. I had owned Manhattan mono eye shadows years back and I remember they were pretty pigmented. Cannot remember what my thoughts were on the longevity and creasing but my impressions are about to be refreshed by the help of a gorgeous earthy-toned Manhattan Eyemazing Effect Eyeshadow in Brownie Break. Love the way it looks and love the name! It's one of those natural, brown/nude palettes which I adore and I'll make sure to report back as soon as possible. While we're mentioning eye shadows, I know I'm a bit late to the party with this one but still – I cannot contain my excitement. Bourjois Cream To Powder Eyeshadow in Petale de Glace is soo gorgeous! If the formulation leaves a positive impression, I'll be getting more shades!
Nedavno sam shvatila kako sam okupila lijepu kesicu kozmetickih noviteta i ideja je sinula da sa vama podijelim sta je to novo kod mene a i da znate kakve recenzije mozete uskoro ocekivati na blogu. Neke stvari sam vec isprobala, druge su mi potpuna nepoznanica dok su pojedini proizvodi od ranije mi poznati pa ih sada imam u novim nijansama. Zapocnimo sa novitetima Manhattan Cosmetics brenda. Mozda se sjecate recenzije Manhattan Powder Rouge Tender Touch rumenila u nijansi Eelgant Violet, koju sam objavila nekada u mjesecu februaru? Jos uvijek sam misljenja da je to rumenilo jedno od boljih koje sam isprobala a da je iz drogerijskog ranga. Tekstura i trajnost su me dojmili dok se i tadasnja nijansa stvarno ispostavila kao jako nosiva. Sada posjedujem Manhattan Powder Rouge Tender Touch rumenilo u nijansi Secret Lovers koja spada u kategoriju breskvasto/ruzicastih rumenila – takodjer ocekujem da ce se pokazati zahvalnom na razlicitinim tonovima koze. Nestrpljivo cekam da je isprobam posto mislim da ce izgledati jako lijepo na malo tamnijem tenu (uhvatila sam malo bojice), Nesto meni potpuno novo i intrigantno od ovog brenda su njihove palete sjena za oci koje ranije nisam koristila. Ono cega se sjecam jeste da sam prije dosta godina kupovala Manhattan mono sjene i, koliko me pamcenje sluzi, bila sam zadovoljna pigmentacijom dok se ne sjecam utisaka glede trajnosti. U svakom slucaju radujem se isprobavanju Manhattan Eyemazing Effect palete sjena za oci u nijansi Brownie Break koja mi se dopada na prvi pogled. Inace sam ljubiteljica zemljanih tonova kada su sjene u pitanju. Dopada mi se i naziv a uskoro se javljam sa impresijama. Kada smo vec kod teme sjena za oci, mozda malo kasnim po pitanju ovog primjerka ali sam i dalje jako uzbudjena po pitanju njegovog testiranja! Bourjois Cream To Powder mono kremasta sjena u nijansi Petale de Glace izgleda tako lijepo, tako carobno! Ukoliko mi se dopadne formulacija, nabaviti cu jos nijansi!
Bourjois Aqua Velvet in Fuchsia Perche (apart from shade Viens Si Tu Roses) was the only shade that caught my attention besides Rose On The Rocks, which I have reviewed earlier in May. I know that the Aqua Velvets received mixed reviews but I'm really using the pinky shade fast and I'm really fond of the cooling effect. We'll see how the bold shade turns out to be. And the rest of the loot belongs to nails and nails only. I was really intrigued by the latest Essence Nauti Girl summery collection but it was pretty sold out and I had to settle with Essence Nauti Girl Nail Stickers. They look right up my street as I'm a big fan of nautical nails. And we have eleven (eleven!) China Glaze nail polishes. I mean, this is literally heaven for me. I'll list all the shades and most are from the Road Trip collection which is amazing. You can see lots of creamy pastels but one particular shade stands out to me. It was the last remaining shade I lacked to fully complete the 2010. Poolside Collection which I'm a big fan of. China Glaze Sun Worshiper is as stunning as I hoped for it to be! I cannot wait to show it to you in action but I don't want to overshadow the remaining ten shades; Up All Night, Coconut Kiss, Boho Blues, For Audrey, Re-Fresh Mint, Dashboard Dreamer, Trip Of A Lime Time, Light As Air, More To Explore and Fairy Dust. I already have a manicure featuring one of them in the works + I do have three Ardell lash designs in my stash as well so you can expect some make-up looks appearing here at the blog. What do you think of all the novelties? Anything in particular that caught your eye?
Bourjois Aqua Velvet tecni ruz u nijansi Fuchsia Perche (osim nijanse Viens Si Tu Roses) je jedina nijansa iz ove linije ruzeva koja mi je zapala za oko uz Rose On The Rocks, koji sam recenzirala u maju. Znam da su Aqua Velvetsi dobili mjesovit prijem i recenzije ali ja moram reci kako mi iz torbe i nesesera ne izlazi moj ruzicasti ljubimac. Njega trosim cesto i brzo, jako mi odgovara hladeci efekat koji ovi ruzevi imaju i jako me zanima kako ce mi se dopasti ova nesto upadnija boja uz sjajni efekat. Ostatak mog kozmetickog ulova se sacinjava od krasotica za nail art. Po dolasku, prilicno me zaintrigirala ljetna Essence Nauti Girl kolekcije, no kada sam isla u kupovinu dosta lijepih komada se rasprodalo pa sam zelje umirila kupovinom Essence Nauti Girl naljepnica za nokte. Inace volim nauticke detalje na noktima pa se veselim isprobavanju. I ostaje nam jedanaest (cak jedanaest!) China Glaze lakova za nokte. Sam spomen kolicine ovih ljepotana mi predstavlja kozmeticki raj. Dosta lakova je iz ljetne Road Trip kolekcije koja mi se jako, jako dopada. Vidjeti cete da je tu dosta krasnih, kremastih pastelnih boja ali jedan poseban lak se istice u mojim ocima posto sam za njim dugo ceznula. Radi se o posljednjoj, jedno vrijeme neuhvatljivoj nijansi iz Poolside kolekcije lakova iz 2010. godine koja mi je nedostajala da upotpunim kolekciju. Jasno da sam velika ljubiteljica neonaca ako od ranije imam sve Poolside lakove osim tog jednog specijalnog neonca koji me ocarao. China Glaze Sun Worshiper je upravo onakav kakvim sam ga zamisljala! Tesko je opisati radost kada je napokon bio u mojim rukama i srce mi zaigra kada pomislim da ce napokon biti gost na mom blogu. No ne bih zeljela zapostaviti preostale lakove koji su dopunili moju, sada vec pozamasnu, lakoholicarsku kolekciju i radi se o; Up All Night, Coconut Kiss, Boho Blues, For Audrey, Re-Fresh Mint, Dashboard Dreamer, Trip Of A Lime Time, Light As Air, More To Explore i Fairy Dust. Vec sam pripremila manikir sa jednim od ovih ljepotana + u zalihama imam tri modela Ardell trepavica tako da mozete ocekivati i neke make-up lookove u skorije vrijeme. Kako vam se cine moji noviteti? Da li vam je nesto posebno privuklo paznju?
*Some of these products have been sent to me as birthday presents. As always, my impressions are and always will be honest and straightforward. For more information, see my disclaimer.
