Wet & Wild Mega Last Matte Lipsticks Swatches & Review

Hello beauties!

Ελπίζω να είστε όλες καλά και ανανεωμένες αυτή την υπέροχη, ηλιόλουστη Κυριακή που μας θύμισε λίγο το ξαφνικά αναχωρηθέν καλοκαίρι μας....

Αλλά όπως και να έχει, μια νέα εποχή μπήκε, το αγαπημένο Φθινόπωρο και είμαι σίγουρη ότι θα είναι hot!

Πριν λίγο καιρό, δύο φίλες beauty bloggers, ξέρετε ποιες είστε, με "παρέσυραν" σε μια online αγορά ομορφιάς...! Μπορείτε να φανταστείτε....

Ένα από τα προϊόντα που ήρθαν στη πόρτα μου ήταν τα διάσημα, πολυπόθητα κι πολυσυζητημένα 

Wet & Wild Mega Last Matte Lipsticks 

Πριν καταλήξω ποιες αποχρώσεις θα μπουν στο καλάθι μου, έκανα τεράστια έρευνα στο internet. 
Έψαχνα άλλα blogs, έβλεπα swatches...

Κατέληξα σε τρία που βλέπετε. RoseBud, Wine Room & Mauve outa Here.

Όπως καταλαβαίνετε ήθελα να πάρω παραπάνω από τα τρία που βλέπετε αλλά είπα να συγκρατηθώ μέχρι να δω την υφή τους, τη διάρκειά τους και την αίσθηση στα χείλη.

Well, ήρθαν. Τα είδα. Τα δοκίμασα. Ξετρελάθηκα.

Είναι υπέροχα κραγιόν με semi-matte τελείωμα που γράφουν αμέσως και έντονα.

Από αριστερά:  904Β RoseBud, 906D Wine Room, 907C Mauve outa Here

Από επάνω:  904Β RoseBud, 906D Wine Room, 907C Mauve outa Here

Όπως μπορείτε να δείτε το τελείωμα τους δεν είναι τόσο matte όσο έχουμε συνηθίσει αλλά η διάρκειά τους είναι αρκετά ικανοποιητική, περίπου 3-4 ώρες.

Από τα τρία, το αγαπημένο μου σε χρώμα είναι το 906D Wine Room, σε υφή και διάρκειά το 904Β RoseBud και το 907C Mauve outa Here απλά το αγαπώ γιατί μου θυμίζει το αγαπημένο MAC Up The Amp (το Mauve outa here έχει πιο πολύ ροζ μέσα από το Up The Amp)

Μια μικρή συμβουλή από εμένα για εσάς, είναι να χρησιμοποιήσετε πρώτα μολύβι χειλιών για το περίγραμμά σας και μετά να περάσετε τα χείλη σας με το κραγιόν. Είναι αρκετά μαλακά και πάντα πασαλείφομαι και περνάω τα όρια των χειλιών μου! Το διορθώνω μετά όμως, να ξέρετε!

Τα Wet & Wild Mega Last Matte Lipsticks μου στοίχισαν 2.75$ aka 2.03 euro/each από το αμερικανικό site Beauty Joint όπου το καλύτερο που μπορείτε να κάνετε είναι να κάνετε μαζική παραγγελία με φίλες ώστε να μοιράσετε τα έξοδα αποστολής τα οποία φτάνουν και τα 20$..... 


Λοιπόν, τι λέτε; Πως σας φαίνονται τα Wet & Wild Mega Last Matte Lipsticks; 

Μπορούν να κερδίσουν μια θέση ανάμεσα στα υπόλοιπα αγαπημένα σας κραγιόν;

Ή ακόμη και να αντικαταστήσουν κάποια άλλα;

Περιμένω με αγωνία τη γνώμη σας και τις σκέψεις σας!

Όπως πάντα,

stay healthy & beautiful

The Body Shop HoneyMania & Color Crush Lipstick Review

Hello beauties!

How are you?

I am not even going to comment the sudden cold weather.....I am not ready for this....

A while ago I was invited to a beauty bloggers event by The Body Shop where they presented us the new brand range named HoneyMania!

As you can imagine is a whole range of products whose main ingredient is the precious and multi beneficial honey.

Soap, Lip Balm, Eau de Toilette, Shower Gel, Bath Scrub, Body Butter

Rich Bodycare Range. Made by fair trade honey made from the nectar of thousands wildflowers.

They have a sweet smell because of the honey but at the same time they feel very earthly and floral.
You have to smell it youself to understand what I mean!
It is almost a familiar fall scent..

I was always intrigued by all the smells and ranges that The Body Shop came up from time to time. 
And this time was no exception. They have a nostalgic feel to me.

The other thing we were introduced were som new shades of the Color Crush Lipsticks.

A rich moisturising lipstick that has a good payout on the lips with high pigmentation.
It is ideal for everyday morning use and for having in your handbag for a quick pop of colour!

As you can see the presentation was adorable and girlie! 

I met with some dear fellow beauty bloggers, drank fabulous pink evening coctails and ate candy!

Leaving this event we were given as a gift to try on of their each launches.

HoneyMania Body Butter *

Rich, moisturising, beloved, familiar. (I have already used it as you can tell..... :-)

We all have used one of these body butters at least once.
They are a classic.

And also,

Color Crush Lipstick* in 230 Rush of Pink

Moisturising, high pigmented, easy to apply and blend, stays on your lips for about 2-3 hours. 

Well, that' s all about the new things from The Body Shop!

How do you like them? Have you tried them before? 

Which is your favourite Body Butter? 

As always,

stay healthy & beautiful

Inglot Haul, Swatches & Review

Hello my beauties!

I am here with a haul made quite some time ago.....! 

Those of you that follow me on Instagram you must know by now my love for Inglot Cosmetics.

I love the colours, the packaging, the quality, the prices, the variety but most of all I love its guts for competing equally a well known cosmetics company without overexposing themselves. 
They don't need to. 

Well, some time ago I went to their store in Chalandri, Athens, and did some shopping. 

Since then, I went back, of course, for more, but you have to wait the next haul post!

So this is what I bought.

Swatches from left:

matte # 340
matte # 388
# 325
# 320
# 459
# 457
# 460
# 361
# 356

And Lip Pencil # 24

The eyeshadows are so pigmented and have very good staying power!

So vibrant, easy blending and double the size of the usual eyeshadows out in the market.

I haven' t noticed any fall down which is awesome!

As for the Lip Pencil.....the words are not enough.
It is not waterproof nor drying.
It stays on your lips for hours with a slight touch up after 3-4 hours depending what you do! ;-)

It has a perfect nude pink colour, more to the pink, that suits well on a daytime makeup as well with a smokier one.

I am so very impressed & in love with Inglot Cosmetics that I dream working there!

The eyeshadows retail at around 5,50 euro and the lip pencil at 10 euro but with so many Sales they have you can stock like a maniac!

Crazy right?

Follow them on Inglot Greece Official facebook page to stay updated.

So have you tried them? 
Do you like them as much as I do?

As always 
stay healthy &  beautiful

Golden Rose Cosmetics Review

Hello my beautiful summer ladies!

I am in a summer mode and that is because this time as I write to you I am packing my bags off to a beautiful Greek island to spend my Easter holidays, have my first swims and with a little luck my first tan!

How about you? Where are you spending your holidays?
Do send me photos!

So, let's get down to business! To Beauty Business!

Not long ago I was introduced to a worldwide brand since 1983 in Istanbul, now found in more than 80 countries in the world.

Golden Rose Cosmetics

They are high quality products with really low prices prices.

Really pigmented , long lasting and many many colors.

I was sent some to try and I will show below what they look like.

Terracota Sparkle Trio Eyeshadow in # 410*

It is a trio eye shadow as you can see at the photo that feels like baked. 
It is super shiny and glittery which is why I can't talk much about longevity. 
Especially the medium color, the gold one, is very sparkly and flies everywhere! 
You have to be careful as they tend to have a little falldown.

price: 8,90 euro


Mettalic Style EyeLiner in # 11*

It is a very good eyeliner that sets very quickly and stays on really well!
The color is perfect, summery and glittery. I wear it as an winged eyeliner for a modern pin up look or on the waterline and lower lashes for a beach summer one. 

price: 3,80 euro


Long Lasting Lipstick 2000 in # 104*

When I first saw this lipstick, I knew we would get along just fine!

I am always on the hunt for the perfect nude-pink lipstick and this is getting real close.
It applies smoothly, it is very hydrating and has a medium staying power as you would expect from a moisturizing lipstick.

I love it!

price: 2,50 euro

Rich Color Nail Polish One Step in # 17*

It is a very vivid summery color that I have loved! It applies perfectly with its different wider brush, dries in 5 minutes and stays on for at least 4 - 5 days.

price: 2,00 euro

The prices are unbelievable and the quality similar to known brands.
I should definitely recommend that you give it a try!

Until they finish building their own site, you can order
                                                              Golden Cosmetics online at Beauty-Town


Well that's it from me!

Have you tried any Golden Rose Cosmetics?
Do you feel like you discovered a hidden little treasure?

Have fun on your Easter Holidays and get some tan!

As always
stay healthy & beautiful

Clinique Chubby Stick Intense Review

Hello everyone!

How are you? I hope you are enjoying the good days and the rise of the temperature!

Summer is on the way, which means sun, glow and color!

When I think of summer my mind goes to bronzed skin and bright lips! I am that kind of girl!

So today I will show you a better version of a product that I loved last summer.

Clinique Chubby Stick Intense*

I am sure you all know the famous Chubby Stick Lip Colors, see post here, and whoever of you tried them, I know liked them very much and in many cases became a staple of your everyday makeup.

They only thing I did not quite much like was the not long wearing fact. Because they are very moisturizing, the color did not stay for long on your lips.

So when I heard that a new version, more intense & colorful version, of Chubby Sticks came out I was thrilled and impatient to try!

I tried the shade 04 heftiest hibiscus which is a bright coral red color that goes very intense on the lips.

It is a great summer color that has a quite satisfying duration for its very conditioning formula.

I woud love to try the other shades too!

It comes in 8 bright shades and as usual they are allergy tested and fragrance free.

Release date on March 2013 and its price is € 21.90

If you have tried the first Chubby Stick I would suggest you give this one a go.

Stay healthy & beautiful

Sleek mini Haul

Hello my beauties!

I hope you are well, tanned and relaxed. I was meaning to show you some new stuff I got from Sleek MakeUp but summer got in the way! I am back now and ready to roll again!

So, as many of you, I can never have too many eye shadows. I will always need more, even though many of them are almost identical..

That is why I ordered another Sleek eyeshadow palette, ( previous Sleek haul post HERE) a bright lipstick and two multi-usage waterproof pencils. 

But don't let me talk anymore and show you the stuff!

Sleek i-Divine Oh So Special, True Colour Lipstick in Heartbreaker, Eau la la liner in Dragon Fruit & Bullion

Let me show them to you one at a time.

Oh So Special Palette

And some swatches

from left: Bow, Organza, Ribbon, Gift Basket, Glitz, Celebrate

From this row, all colours pay off really nice, well pigmented, as expected, and long lasting.

from left: Pamper, Gateau, The Mail, Boxed, Wrapped Up, Noir

This second row is not as well as I expected. The colours as you see for yourself are not well pigmented and they do not show up, except maybe for Pamper, Gateau and Noir.

Moving on to the famous Eau La La Liners.

Eau La La liners in Dragon Fruit & Bullion

Dragon Fruit is a beauuuutiful hot cherry pink colour that looks amazing on the lips! It is so pigmented and let me tell you this. It lasts forever! Maybe more than forever! I love this colour!

Bullion is a bright gold colour with many uses. It is most likely to be used on the eyes, as a thick line or a thin line above your black eyeliner. I sometimes use it to my waterline for a slightly different look. And do not forget the lips for the bold ones out there!

Eau La La Liners are waterproof and smudgeproof and I highly recommend them!

End last but not least True Colour Lipstick

True Colour Lipstick in Heartbreaker

It is a matte hot pink fuchsia colour that is very well pigmented but very matte. I would not recommend this to those with very dry, cracked lips unless you put a lip balm underneath. I do not have dry lips and still looks a little bit dry.
But I cannot help my feelings! I love this lipstick. The colour is so vibrant, fresh and sexy girlie!


Overall, I love Sleek Make Up and I will continue to buy more & more.

So, how about you? Do you like Sleek Make Up? Which are your favourites?

Stay healthy & beautiful
