Catrice Baroque Glamour Review

Hey you beautiful rays of sunshine out there today im reviewing a few items i got from the Catrice Baroque Glamour section which unfortunately is Limited Edition so if you see something you like quickly try and get your hands on them as they are not around for long.

I will start of with the All Over Powder in "07 Baroque Shine": 

Oh Dont start me on this fabulous creation haha....Im amazed by its beauty just look at the shades on this All Over Powder........
The lighter shade is a beautiful light creamy/gold shade 
The medium shade is a lovely coppery shade with a gold undertone to it 
The darker shade is a more darker browny/gold shade.
You can use these seperate the lighter shade as a highlight and the medium and darker shade as eyeshadows.  To me this is too goldy and shimmery for an all over powder but is perfect for a highlight or a fabulous summer bronzer the glow you get from this product is fabulous i love it !!!!!!!! if you can get this believe me you will love it.  This is so soft to apply and it feels incredible on my face......Its a real pity its a Limited Edition im hoping they bring it out again if they do i will be stocking up!!!!!!!! 

Swatches are the 3 shades separate and the big swatch is of all 3 together this was taken in the sunlight

In Normal Light 

Catrice Baroque Glamour Eye shadows 

Starting from the top Left "Beige Velvet, Purple Silk, Opulent Brown & Luscious Green"

There are only four of these shade available in the collection and im delighted to say i have all four.....Starting with the 1st:

Beige Velvet:  This is a beautiful light beige/nude shade eyeshadow that almost has a shimmer of gold in the sun this is perfect for a highlight or combining with other shades its gives a frosty finish 

Purple Silk:  Oh my this shade is definitely my favourite perhaps its because i love my purples but this is unique........ This a a beautiful deep purple with a goldy shimmer........This is so highly pigmented even without a base or primer........i love this shade it even looks great on its own for a night out look......

Opulent Brown:  I was pleasantly surprised by this shade :) in the pan it looks a bit confusing of what colour it is but when swatched it is a medium brown with a purple undertone and a slight golden shimmer to it girls this looks fantastic on the eye,  i would actually where this on a night out.....but looks fantastic even combined with purple silk  i love it 

Luscious Green:  This is a mossy green with gold shimmer.....I wasnt really pushed about this at first but when i swatched and wore this on my eyes it turned out to be fantastic especially with my eyes been hazel it really made my eye colour pop 

All Swatches were taken in normal light 

Over all these were so cheap €2.99 each and for the quality you are getting for that price its pretty amazing :)  These eyeshadows feel so silky and smooth im amazed by them........and the pigmentation is out of this world i mean one tiny swipe and you have enough to do the whole eye.....If i was to find a fault with them i would say that they are quite powdery you have to be careful or you will have some fallout while applying ........in all these are fantastic and perfect for the autumn

Catrice Baroque Glamour Lipstick 

In Shade "C06 Golden Brown" 

Swatch in Normal Light 

This is a beautiful lipstick if you are not one who likes wearing heavy lipsticks this is suitable for you..........It looks darker on the stick than it actually is....you are just getting a plain black tube but the the lipstick itself and a beautiful swirly designs printed on it.   There are 3 shade in the Baroque Glamour collection and this one is in "Golden Brown".  This is truly the shade that it is named a Lightish more reddish brown with a slight golden undertone....I was quite surprised by the pigmentation from this, its not as pigmented as i thought actually to me this would be more of a tinted gloss than a lipstick......I dont know what the other 2 are like but i have heard they are alot more pigmented...... I still like this lipstick its perfect for everyday wear...

I glides on so smoothly and easily and feels soft and moisturising......It doesnt dry out at all and lasts about 3 hours before you have to top it up.....

Swatched on the lips 

So thats it form my Baroque Glamour Collection i am very happy with my purchases and i want to get my hands on the nail polishes in this collection too and of course knowing me i will get them so keep an eye out for them soon :) 

Well thats it from me for now 

I hope this was helpful to you all and im sorry to the ones who cant get their hands on these....Hopeful Catrice Cosmetics Will soon expand their products to other countries soon......

Until Next Time 

Lots of Irish hugs and Kisses

e.l.f Mineral Moisturising Lip Tint Review

e.l.f says:  Nourish, pamper and treat lips with this super emollient, lip quenching color. Shea butter, Jojoba oil, Coconut Oil and Vitamin E impart serious moisture while SPF 8 protects lips from harmful UVA/UVB rays. This just-bitten tint of color provides immediate soothing relief to irritated chapped lips while also diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the lip area. Like all our mineral makeup this item is 100% mineral based with No Parabens, No Preservatives and No Chemical Dyes.

I am reviewing yet another new item on the US Site (click here to view them on the US Site) .  They have just arrived in the UK site today 11/01/2012.  (click here to view them on the UK site)
On the US & UK site there are 7 shades available in the Mineral Moisturising Lip Tints and they cost $3/£3.50/€4 each

The Packaging

As you can see they all come the same in a nice sleek handy black tube with the name clearly printed on the tube......also apart from some of the e.l.f regular line lip products where unless you have the package it came from you find it hard to make out what shade is on the little stickers its written on .....these have a fair nice sized sticker on the bottom with big enough writing of the shade on each one.  The lid of these tubes are great too.  When you place the lid back on the tube you get a "Click" sound which means you are guaranteed the lid is not going to fall off in your handbag i love that.......These are nice and small to even fit into your purse so handy if you are on the go.....

The Shades 

Now at the moment im actually suffering with sore lips and very chapped lips i think its either from too many lip swatches lol or the change of the weather.....Normally i dont suffer from sore lips as i have a little obsession of taking good care of them......so i have put these to the test as in keeping my poor dry lips hydrated and moist and of course if this SPF8 really works :) :) i will let you guys be the judge on how my lips look in the photos :) :) 

"Cherry"

Cherry:   I was thinking this was going to be more of a "Cherry" shade but it wasnt....Im not complaining tough it still gives my lips a nice natural tint it comes out more of a reddish brown shade but its nice and gives me that MLBB look :) 

"Guava"

Guava:  This give a beautiful frost pinkish shade to your lips......If you have pale lips it will appear more pigmented

"Cinnamon"

Cinnamon:  This is alot more pigmented :).......It is a brown with a slight peachy pink undertone to it.....it really makes your lips stand out this is definitely one of my favourites 

"Natural"

Natural:  Now this one definitely lives to its name......This literally evens out my lip colour....Its so close to my lip colour its not even that noticeable on my lips....but again if you have pale or dark lips this would be worth buying :) 

"Rose"

 Rose:  This is a beautiful natural pink shade as you can see by the photo it really brightens up your lips making them irresistible.........Another of my favourites  

"Pink" 

Pink:  This is a very light frost pink shade its nice but i prefer something a little more noticeable than this one again with this and "Natural" if you looking for any sort of pigmentation from these two you are not going to get that 

"Blush"

Blush:  This is perfect for anyone with fair skin its a beautiful natural pink shade again brightens up your lips making them more healthier looking.....this goes well over any pink lippie :) 

The Swatches 

"Cherry, Guava, Cinnamon, Natural, Rose, Pink & Blush" taken with flash of camera 

"Cherry, Guava, Cinnamon, Natural, Rose, Pink & Blush" in natural light

My Overall Opinion

Well i have to say i got a surprise when i received these believe me i was surprised they were as pigmented as they are....i wasn't expecting that actually i was expecting them all to be the same or disappointing as i seen a video on YouTube a while back of someone reviewing these and they stated they were in no way pigmented but as you can see yourself apart from a couple of shades(and keep in mind i'm missing one more which is "Berry") they were noticeable on my lips.

The formula on these lip tints are really creamy and so easy to apply.  They are moisturising but i did find in a way they were also drying i dont know if its because my lips were sore and chapped but it does say that these are made especially for people who have sore and chapped lips.....to be honest i wouldnt rely on these in the winter months if thats the case as thats the time you would need a really good moisturising lip balm.....i will surely be reaching for my e.l.f Studio Lip Conditioning lip balms instead as i find them more moisturising.

These are very suitable for the summer because of their wee tint of colour but to be honest if i were to choose between these and the Studio Lip Conditioning Balms i wouldnt choose these.......But if you have a teenage daughter, niece, cousin etc....these would be perfect for them starting off with lipsticks :) 

In all i would give these 6/10 they are lovely and im glad i have them in my collection but as far as purchasing them again i wouldnt think i will but as i have siad before thats just my opinion :) 

Ok Girlies thats my review on these i hope it was helpful

Bye for now

e.l.f Studio Blush Review Part 2

e.l.f says:  The soft sheer texture blends into the skin for a silky finish. Designed to be worn alone or layered for more depth. Highlight your complexion with a subtle healthy glow!

Well Hello again everyone :) :) today im reviewing the final 4 Studio Blushes to complete my collection.....I was going to put them on my Part 1 Review  but i thought it might be a bit over-whelming seeing so many different shades of blushes especially with the amount of picture i have of them.....so this is part two and also a little surprise at the end ok ok i will tell you 2 additional shades i was lucky to get my hands on from the US Site.....they are as of yet not available to the UK Site but you never know they could be soon ........

The Blushes 

Click on the Picture for a closer look 

Now there is no point in me talking about the packaging again as i have already done that in Part 1 so basically im just going to show pictures and swatches and talk about the shades in this one .........
So I shall Start with : 

"Gotta Glow" 

Gotta Glow:  This is a Fantastic Highlight blush.....It a pearl white blush with a goldy shimmer....once swatched it looks very pigmented but when blended it out gives you the most fabulous glow....i use this also on my brow bone and down the bridge of my nose :) this should be in everyones collection without a doubt..........When applies it gives a beautiful goldy shimmery glow the only downfall i would find with this is the glitter can tend to be a bit chunky but i dont mind that at all 

"Berry Merry"

Berry Merry:  This is a beautiful berry-rose blush with slightly chunky gold shimmer to it.....Its said to be compared to the Nars Sin blush.....now i dont own a Nars Sin blush so i cant tell you if its true or not but alot of e.l.f studio blushes are compared quite alot to Nars blushes........anyway this blush in particular is very pigmented and in no doubt will last you a long time......anyone with pale skin could actually use this to contour their cheek bones.......There is quite a bit of fallout using this but im not complaining as the price is incredible 

"Mellow Mauve"

Mellow Mauve:  This is a beautiful berry rose shade.....This is fantastic over a bronzer and perfect in the summer.......This a perfect blush to give me that shy blushing cheeks look i love it.....its so natural which actually surprised me alot it also gives as good as a matte finish even tough you can see shimmer in the pan.............This is one i would wear both day and night as its build-able and FAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Fushia Fusion"

Fushia Fusion:  This is a bright baby pink blush with shimmer.........This is a WOWZER blush haha its soooooo pink but i love it :) this is so so perfect for the winter imagine a christmas wonderland look with bright pink cheeks :) :) beautiful !!!!!! and with its beautiful  sparkle bits its what every woman needs in their kit dont be afraid a little goes a long way but make sure you only use a little or your will be employed by the circus crew lol ..... Quite a few people have stated its too glittery but the glitter falls off once you go over your make-up with a setting powder anyway which means your left with a matte finish 

Now for the 2 you have been waiting for :)

The NEW Studio Blushin Shades "Twinkle Pink & Giddy Gold"

I managed to get these from my good friend Muff_top10.  Ive mentioned her before she has a booming EBAY store in which she sells alot of products mostly e.l.f products and alot of e.l.f products from the US site......She is 100% honest, helpful, friendly and kind.....now i know you might pay a little extra but buy in bulks and she will do you a deal on postage not only that there has been a few time ive asked her whenever she was ordering again off the US Site would she get me this and that and she is always happy to try.........

The Blushes :) :) 

"Twinkle Pink & Giddy Gold"

Twinkle Pink

Twinkle Pink:  I know what you are thinking "Twinkle Pink------Tickled Pink" roughly the same name???? well they are different dont worry......This shade does look like it near the same but the difference is this is more of a peachy-pink shade with alot more goldy shimmer......its a little more powdery too but it look fantastic when applied....definately a summer blush and gives you a beautiful pinky glow :) i love it but the old fault i find is that you can loose alot more product than the rest of the studio blushes because of it been more powdery but hey again for the price im not complaining 

"Giddy Gold" 

Giddy Gold:  Now i presume e.l.f was aiming for this to be a high-light blush well to me it is anyway.........this is in now doubt a pure gold blush with gold shimmer......again the glitter in this is biggish but can be removed yet again with setting powder :)  Its quite exciting actually as this would be the first gold highlight blush i have got and it does actually work......The actual payoff is a peachy-gold its fantastic over your bronzer ......I do find you are either going to have a love hate relationship with this blush/highlight......me??? Love :)

e.l.f Bronzed Mineral Glow Kit Review

e.l.f says:  Our Mineral Glow Starter Kits will help you on your way to healithier glowing skin. Whether you want to create a  subtle healthy glow or summer tan with our 'Bronzed Mineral Glow' or illuminated and shimmering skin with our soft pink 'Shimmer Mineral Glow', these sheer, natural powders will leave your skin looking and feeling healthy and radiant.

After following this beauty regime you will noticeably feel and see the pure difference e.l.f. Natural Mineral Makeup can do! All of our mineral glow powders are 100% mineral based with no parabens, no preservatives and no chemical dyes. 

This kit includes:

Mineral Glow  (0.35oz (9.92g))
Large Kabuki Brush
Canvas Case

i got this kit on the e.l.f uk site   during their 50% sale its original price is £10/€11.50 and i was getting it for half price so i couldnt turn it away i had to see what it was like :) :) the one thing i have to say is that i havent really heard much reviews about this one....I dont know if its because its one of the dearest on the site or what but it looks like many people havent bought it....so this made me even more curious :) Oh the excitement when i got this was crrrraaaazzzzzyyyyy!!!!

The Packaging !!

Ok ill start with the Canvas Bag this is a lovely black spongy type bag its perfect for travelling even with the mineral glow and brush in it, there is plenty of room for other make-up products i love it.  It would kind of be the same size as the Wristlet Bag you can get for £5 on its own ......The Kabuki brush is ok dont get me wrong its a good big sized brush.  Its the Body Kabuki brush  which on its own costs £5.  I just find its a wee bit on the Rough side and shed a little even before i used it also shed a wee bit after i washed it but what big brush doesnt....i will use this but wouldnt be my favourite I think my next aim is to try the Studio Kabuki Brush :) it looks so so soft.......The Bronzed Mineral Glow  Powder would cost you £5/$8 on its own you get  (0.35oz (9.92g)) size pot which is a great sized pot.......

The Product :)

When i opened this and seen the size of the package i thought "Wow this is gonna last me a while" and sure it will!!!!!! :)  I have tried alot of bronzers in the past and alot of them to suit my skin tone this is definately on i wouldnt get away with wearing unless i wore a full coverage darker than my skin tone foundation......i mean dont get me wrong this bronzer is fantastic but it is quite dark!!!!! It would be great if e.l.f made a light, medium and then dark Bronzed Mineral Glow Kit as alot of people wouldnt like this if they are extremely fair..........This is definately new going out the a nightclub bronzer for sure as i wouldnt wear this during the day.....The powder itself is sooooo smooth and silky it feels incredible against my skin.......applying it is unreal but you literally only need the tiniest amount to do the areas you want bronzed, the pigmentation is unreal as you will see by my pictures below.......It doesnt give you that fake orangey look some bronzers give you .......in fact it gives you a beautiful glow with the smallest amount of shimmer......i love the idea that this is doing nothing but good to your face just take a look at the ingredients to see:  

Ingredients: Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Boron Nitride, Caprylyl Glycol, Tocopheryl Acetate.  May Contain: Bismuth Oxychloride (CI 77163),  Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI77499), Maganese Violet (CI77742), Ultramarines (CI77707). Titanium Dioxide is a key ingredient because of its ability to provide sun protection to the skin. The Mica imparts a soft focus effect that creates a natural, healthy, and youthful glow that instantly fills facial lines to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. These powders are absorbed into the skin and help control the effects of oily skin, for a shine-free, matte glow that visibly smoothes the skin and refines its texture. Swatches  This picture was taken in normal light and i have to add all i done was a slight finger swatch a rubbed it into the inside of my arm  Taken with Flash of camera as you can see there is only the slightest shimmer in it  My over all opinion  I like this and glad i bought it.....i can be fair skinned in the winter so this would only do me when i go out as i said above it is quite dark....but in the summer when i have a tan its great without foundation on and gives you the perfect sunkissed glow......Its definitely worth buying the kit as if you were to buy this all separate it would cost your £15 whereas the kit costs £10 so your saving a good bit :) :) well that's it from me  until next time  Cya Soon  Nina Carry  xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Catrice Photo Finish Liquid Foundation 18hr Review

Catrice state:  For a perfect, retouched complexion: the Photo Finish Liquid Foundation 18h with a “Soft Focus Effect”. Thanks to light-reflecting pigments, it makes your complexion look smooth and radiant for up to 18 hours! The oil-free formula feels pleasantly light on your skin.
Available in five shades with a medium coverage, it comes in a high-quality, frosted glass bottle with a practical pump dispenser.

Before i bought this foundation i have to admit i never heard of Catrice Cosmetics before even tough i heard afterwards it has been out for quite some time.....but it only arrived in my local drugstore a few weeks ago and when our local makeup artist Sarah Butcher informed me it had arrived i just had to have a look.......I purchased this foundation for only €6.49 so you can imagine i was sceptic about it because of it been so cheap!!!!!!

The Packaging

First of all you are getting 30mls for your money which is a great amount of product......You are getting a round frosted glass bottle with a clear cap and a nice easy to use pump....I find it most hygienic when foundations comes in a pump and much prefer it that way....When you see this bottle there is in no way you can tell that you have only paid €6.49 for it, as it looks more expensive than even the top brand foundations out there.. one other great thing about Catrice foundation packaging is that you get a different type bottle for their different type foundations so you wont be confused or pick up the wrong one.....also the writing on the packaging doesn't look cheap either its the type of writing that wont wear off after a while i love that

The Product  

I got this in the lightest shades which is "Sand Beige".  This is a neutral shade with slight yellow undertone to it.  Now let me warn you quite alot of product comes out of the pump so be careful you dont use too much as i have to say a little goes a long long way......this comes out of the pump fairly light (as you will see in picture 1 above) and as you blend it in it gets a little darker (picture 2) and finally when you have it completely blended out it gives you that nice tanned shade.....now i have to say for this been the lightest shade available i would say anyone who is very very fair might find this a little dark for everyday wear but for me this is a perfect shade for me for everyday.......

This has a nice thick creamy constancy not too thick but as i said a little will go a long way......i do find a weird light per fumy scent to it while applying it....its doesn't really appeal to me but it is light and some how disappears after a while.  The most weirdest thing about this foundation well i wouldnt call it weird i would call it genius but after applying this foundation to your face you will notice that after about 10 minutes it looks darker than when you applied it not much but a little ( its like it is working on your skin tone) my sister has the same shade and she is alot paler than me but the same thing happens and yet both finishes are a different shade it works for her and it works for me.....I hope that makes sense lol im just excited about this.....

This is a before and after picture of me after using Catrice photo finish foundation .....i have no concealer or powder over it :) 

In the photo above i only used a very small amount to my face....i applied this with my fingers i like to warm up the product before applying as it applies better for me but if i was using it on someone i would use a blending sponge.....The finish is a beautiful radiant flawless looking.....It definitely give medium coverage...oh the feel of this on your skin is fantastic girls it feels like silk against your skin......i mean it doesn't feel like a foundation in fact you feel like your not wearing anything at all on your face......my face feels moisturised and smooth and also hides away my enlarged pores.....

I put this foundation to a humidity, sweat test as i wore this on a very hot clammy day and i have to say it never budged one little bit....when i dabbed my forehead with a tissue due to heat no foundation was visible on the tissue.....I cant say it will last 18 hours but i does last up to 8 hours before it starts to fade away a little....but while it starts faded it doesnt blotch....

This foundation is definitely 100% my top foundation for now im super impressed and amazed by how good this is i love it and highly recommended it to you all to try.....

ok you guys that it on this fantastic new love of my life :) 

if you have any question please ask

take care 

lots of Irish hugs and Kisses

e.l.f Luscious Lipstick Full collection Review

e.l.f says:   Lip therapy is here! Intensive hydrating agents along with natural pigments leave lips with long-lasting color and moisture. This luscious liquid lipstick creates wearable color that flatters a multitude of skin tones and looks.


Hey all you gorgeous people out there here is yet another review on my complete collection of e.l.f's Luscious Lipsticks available from eyeslipsface.co.uk/eyeslipsface.com for £1.50/$1/€1.70 each.......Now some of you are probably thinking when you see these and see the e.l.f Hypershine Lipglosses  that it doesnt look like there is much difference between the two but let me tell you there is please read on to learn more about them.....

In this photo im missing one which i found shortly after taking the picture you will see the shade further down the page :)

ok i bought these in the 50% off deal eyeslipsface.co.uk was having a while back so getting them for .75p was for nothing:

The packaging

As you can see the Luscious Lipsticks are not a whole lot different to the Hypershine Lipglosses.  Its has the same clear tube that you can see the shades.  It also has the same twist click pen that you again have to twist about 10-15 time before you get any product out.  The only difference with this packaging is the sponge tip in which i much prefer as it makes it so much easier to apply the lipstick and there is no mess job whatsoever.  I know there is still the issue with hygiene but once you are the only person using it who needs to worry plus you can alway spritz it with a bit of sanitizer.  

Swatches in normal light 

Swatches with Flash 

The Shades 

Brownie Points:  This is a beautiful reddish brown with a golden undertone.....in the tube and swatch it looks darker than when applied on the lips but it still gives a lovely neutral payoff to your lips

Cherry Tart:  This is a beautiful cherry-red not too strong but looks fantastic on the lips 

Pink Lemonade:  This is a rosy pink with goldy shimmer....it adds beauty to your lips its fantastic on a nude lip or over e.l.fs mineral lipstick "Natural Nymph".....i love it 

Bark:  This is a sheer nude gloss more than a lippie even tho its more of a gloss it gives your lips the MLBB look :) 

Strawberry:  This is one of the newer shades available.....This is a lovely sheer rosy/red shade.....you have to layer it before you get a nice swatch on your lips...this again is the type of shade for one who are trying to get used to wearing red lippies :) its pretty i like it 

Candy Caramel:  I have to say when i seen this on the site and in the tube i thought oh no not going to be a colour for me now im thinking why didnt i get this sooner...This is a nice beige nude shade with a nice bit of shimmer......this looks caramely on the lips .....i love this shade its perfect to wear with a smokey eye look.

Maple Sugar:   This is a lovely neutral shade with a pinky undertone to it this is also pretty with a smokey eye look or just on its own or even over a nice lippie :)

Baby lips:  This is a pretty baby pink lippie is more of a sheer gloss......This is almost transparent....makes the lips look really pretty and plumper :) i love this one :)

Perfect Pink:   This one isnt highly pigmented at all in fact you would mistake this on as a gloss not a lipstick,  it gives you a very sheer very light pink payoff .....it is lovely over your favourite pink lippie 

Raspberry:  This ones another new one to the pack....:) your getting a sheer berry pink and nicely pigmented and noticeable on the lip i love this shade its so pretty on its own and has a slight shimmer to it 

Ruby Slipper:  This is a fabulous dark reddish pinky shade with a little shimmer thats not OTT.....its highly pigmented so a little goes a long long way this even looks beautiful with a dark smokey eye look.....and would definately suit all skintones :) 

My overall opinion 

To be honest i much prefer these to the Hypershine lipglosses.  At first i was thinking they were going to be near enough the same.....But they are by far completely different....the pigmentation from these are more......i love the sponge tip applicator it allows you to get the lippie on so even......I love love love them.....For the price you really are getting what you paid for and more.....But in my opinion these are more of a very pigmented gloss than a lipstick....they apply like a gloss, they look like a gloss, they feel like a gloss and they wear like a gloss......most of the shades are sheer but some have a bit of shimmer to them.....

They have a scent and taste of spearmint and give a cooling sensation to the lip....not too much tough and the taste wears off after about 10 minutes.....i really love these and will surely purchase them again no doubt 

Well thats it on these creations 

until next time 

lots of Irish hugs and kisses
