Mac & MNY Haul (Eyeshadows & Blush)

And here's the rest of my haul. 

MNY Blush 101- It's nice and pigmented when I swatched it with my finger, however no matter what brush I use it doesn't pick up any colour. So I just apply it with my fingers, it a lovely very natural looking blush with shimmer. In a way it gives that glow from within (providing you apply it with fingers), it combines a blush with a highlighter, but someone how's not as pale as me will probably use it just as a highlighter.

MNY 125 & 806A eye shadows - 806A is a part of a limited edition collection called I am a Material Girl, it a similar shade as 245 by Artdeco, a dark metallic green/gold. 125 is a part of their standard line and it's a shimmery beige shade. These are very pigmented and soft (but not as soft as the Artdeco ones) and they blend very nice. I tested 806A yesterday. I applied it a 7 AM (with just some foundation underneath) and by noon it only faded a little. When I checked again at 5 PM it has creased a little, but the colour was still intense enough. I have to say I'm impressed, it's really good for a drugstore eyeshadow, especially if I compare it to the Essence ones (they cost about the same).

Mac Mulch is a dark brown with gold shimmer velvet finish. I had tried it yet on my lids but it looks as a perfect colour for a dark brown smoky eye.

L'Oreal Perfect Clean - Doesn't it look like a completely gimmicky product? Buy I decided to give it a go and it's really not that bad. The formula is nice and thick, it removes all the make-up (apart from my black eyeliner) and that rubbery cleaning pad it actually very nice. It doesn't leave my skin tight, but the scent is a bit disappointing, it's just like regular soap.

Max Factor Smoky Eye Effect

Yesterday I had the chance to swatch all 6 shades of the Smoky Eye Effect eyeshadows. Now I know these swatches are a bit lousy, but the weather has been really gloomy for weeks here, so I had to take the pictures under the artificial light. Well most of them are accurate except the second colour from the Purple dust duo, the colour is similar to Artdeco's # 245 eyeshadow (really lovely colour). I can't say much about the quality, but they're really pigmented and creamy, but they smudge easily, so I have doubts about their staying power. I suppose they're nice if you're a beginner or often in a hurry. These might not work well for people with oilier lids. Some of the colour combinations are a bit off (Citrus thunder, seriously) and some are really nice (Bronze haze, silver storm).

Vceraj sem poslikala Smokey eye effect sencila, ki so pri�la ta mesec v na�e drogerije. Kolikor mi je uspelo videti M�ller (Copova) ponuja le 4 barve, DM (Citypark) pa ima vseh 6. Slike so slabe, sonca ni od nikoder, zato sem slikala pod umetno svetlobo. Saj so kar natancni, mogoce je le pri Purple dust druga barva malo nenatancna, namrec je zelo podobna Artdecovi # 245 sencki. 

Glede kvalitete ne morem kaj dosti reci, so precej pigmentirane in kremne. Pomoje so ok za zacetnike ali pa ce se ti zelo mudi. Verjetno niso ravno najbolj�e za tiste z bolj mastnimi vekami, predvidevam da hitro zlezejo v gubo. Mogoce bi bile ok kot podlaga za navadna sencila. Osebno se mi zdijo nekatere kombinacije povsem zgre�ene (Citrus thunder naprimer je lol), druge so kar lepe (Bronze Haze, Silver Storm). Stanejo nekaj nad 10 evrov. Cover Girl ima podobna sencila (itak je Max Factor in CG ista firma) in baje se te palicke hitro zlomijo (sodec po ocenah na MUA).

Manhattan, Lush, L'Occitane

Manhattan Magic Duo eyeshadow in Chrystal Plum is a part of LE called Diamonds are a Girls... I love, love, love the darker colour (darkened plum) and they are both really pigmented, but staying power is incredibly poor (no matter what I use underneath). It starts fading so fast, what a pity. The plum eyeshadow is matte, the lighter pinkish eyeshadow has some sparkles.

Sencilo je del Manhattanove omejene kolekcije imenovane Diamonds are a Girls... Temnej�a, slivova sencka mi je izjemno v�ec, vendar pa kljub temu da sta precej pigmentirani, sta zelo neobstojni in hitro zbledita, pa ni va�no kaj uporabim pod sencko. �koda. Temnej�a sencka je mat, svetlej�a ima nekaj ble�cic.

I went to Lush a couple of week ago, because I really wanted one of their bubble bars. I chose the one from their Christmas collection. It's called Candy Cane in it smell exactly as the Snow Fairy shower gel and Cream Candy bubble bar (smells something like a bubble gum). I wanted to make the most of it, so I cut it in 4 pieces. I used one when I took my bath and it turned out that was simply to little, there was almost no foam. I guess you can't really can't be stingy with this one.
Nekaj tednov nazaj sem obiskala Lush, ker sem si res za�elela eno izmed njihovih penecih kopeli. Vzela sem Candy Cane iz bo�icne kolekcije in di�i enako kot snow Fair tu� gel ali Cream Candy peneca kopel (nekako po cugimijih). Hotela sem jo imeti za cim veckrat, zato sem jo narezala na 4 dele, pa se je izkazalo da cetrtina ni dovolj. Pene je bilo zelo malo, drugic bom uporabila vec. �koda, ker je precej draga, ce jo ima� lahko samo za 2x.

L'Occitane Almond Shower oil is one of my favourite products of all time. The scent is absolutely gorgeous, I can't help myself not sniffing it all the time. Oh, if only there was a fragrance with such scent. Too bad it's so expensive (16,50 �), but it's worth every cent. It's an oil that when applied on wet skin, transforms into a thick foam. The scent lingers on the skin for quite some time, I do still smell it in the morning.

L'Occitanovo mandljevo olje za tu�iranje je eden izmed mojih najljub�ih izdelkov ever. Di�i absolutno bo�ansko, ne morem ga nekah ovohavat. �koda, da je tako drag (16,50�), ampak je vreden vsaj zaradi vonja. Olje se spremeni v gosto peno, ko ga nasemo na mokro ko�o. Vonj se obdr�i kar nekaj casa.

Alverde Eyeshadows in Magic Sage and Rose Garden

Zauberwald LE finally reach our DMs too. I only bought one eyeshadow in the shade 311 Magic Sage, which is a silvery taupe with a bit of golden shimmer, still it's more of a satin finish. It's such a beautiful shade (I suspect it might be similar to Mac's Smoke & Diamonds) . It really pigmented and soft, I'm not really sure about staying power. Btw a shade from the same collection called 313 Magic Spirit is a good dupe for Artdeco 245 (my favourite eyeshadow ever! Swatches are here). 

Zauberwald LE je koncno prispela v na�e DM-e. Kupila sem samo eno sencilo in sicer odtenek 311 Magic Sage, ki je srebrne taupe barve z mikro zlatim �imrom, ima satenast fini�. Res cudovit odtenek (mogoce malenkost podoben Macovi Smoke & Diamonds?). Sencka je precej pigmentirana in mehka, glede obstojnosti �e ne moram porocati. �e en odtenek iz te kolekcije je pritegnil mojo pozornost in sicer �tevilka 313 Magic Spirit, namrec je izjemno podoben moji najljub�i sencki, ki je Artdecova 245 (slike tukaj).

Another eyeshadow from one of the previous LE called Rose Garden (both the eyeshadow and the collection). It's a bright teal, very pigmented and soft. Staying power is sadly poor. A good dupe is NYX's Ocean eyeshadow. 

�e ena sencka iz prej�nje LE kolekcije Rose Garden. Je turkizne barve, zelo pigmentirana in mehka. Obstojnost je na �alost slaba. Dober pribli�ek te barve je NYX-ova sencka v odtenku Ocean.

Haul - Urban Decay Naked Palette and Mac Viva Gaga Lipglass + Swatches

I finally have them! Yay! Both parcels came on Monday and I was only able to come home on Friday (It's been a long week, believe me). 

Urban Decay Naked Palette

It contains 12 full size eyeshadows. Most are shimmery, a couple are mat and some have a satin finish. A double sided eyeliner is also included, the colours are Zero (black) and Whiskey (brown). You also receive a small Primer potion. All colours are very pigmented, shimmery colours seem to be a bit softer. Eyeliners are fantastic, creamy, very pigmented, with amazing staying power. UD eyeliners are my favourites, I think I have 4 other colours (Stash is my absolute favourite eyeliner).

Paletka vsebuje 12 sencil, vecina ima ble�cice, nekaj jih je mat in nekaj satinastih. Zraven je prilo�en �e dvojni eyeliner in mali Primer Potion. Vse barve so zelo pigmentirane, �imraste sencke se mi zdijo bolj mehke od ostalih. Eyelinerja sta super, Urban Decay-evi eyelinerji so moji najljub�i, imam �e 4 druge, Stash je moj najljub�i.

Mac Viva Gaga Lipglass

I already had Gaga lipstick (swatched here), so naturally I had to get a matching lipglass too. Lipglass is a bit more lilac than the lipstick. As all lipglasses it's very pigmented, thick and sticky.

Od prej imam �e Gaga �minko (slike tukaj), za�elela sem si pa �e lipgloss. Je malo bolj vijola kot �minka. Kot vsi Maco-vi lipglassi je zelo pigmentiran, gost in lepljiv.

Artdeco eyeshadows

I think I already wrote something about my love for these eyeshadows. Shade 245 is my favourite eyeshadow in my collection. I love how pigmented they are, their staying power (I currently use liquid foundation as a base and these eyeshadows last all day) and of course the incredible colour range Artdeco offers. However, the pans are so small and the amount of eyeshadow you get for a bit over 5 � is very little, plus they are so soft that a pan doesn't last you long. The pans are magnetized and Artdeco sells magnetic boxes in different sizes (mine is the largest size) to put in your eyeshadows. Eyeshadows come in these finishes: pearly, duocrome, matt, glamour (glitter) and frostly.

Mislim, da sem �e nekaj pisala o tem kako v�ec so mi ta sencila. Odtenek 245 je moja najljub�a sencka. So zelo pigmentirane in dolgoobstojne (trenutno imam za bazo kar tekoci puder in sencke ostanejo na mojih vekah cel dan). Izbira barv je ogromna in so na voljo v naslednjih fini�ih: perlaste, duocrome, mat, ble�cicaste in frosty. Sencila so zelo majhna, ter zato ker so zelo mehka ne trajajo dolgo, kar pa za nekaj cez 5 � ni njihova najbolj�a lastnost. Imajo magnetke in Artdeco ponuja magnetirane �katlice za sencila v razlicnih velikostih (moja je najvecja na voljo se mi zdi).

My collection consist of / Moja zbirka sestoji iz naslednjih odtenkov:

• 03 pearly granite grey
• 16 pearly light brown
• 22 pearly golden caramel
• 28 pearly porcelain
• 34 pearly rose skin
• 49 pearly moss green
• 82 pearly smokey blue violet
• 98 pearly antique lilac
• 245 dark golden green (the most gorgeous eyeshadow ever, looks like UD 24/7 eyeliner in Stash)
• 272 dark blue
• 551 matt natural touch (great blending shade)
• Blush is B08 an apricot shade.

Je temno rozast s zlatimi ble�cicami. Bil je del omejene izdaje imenovane Rose Garden od Alverde.

Alverde LE Rose Garden Rouge Stick #604 Rose Love

A blush stick in a dark rose colour. It's very hard to apply both on the lips as on the cheek. Staying power on the cheeks is poor, however on the lips it's decent, it leaves a lovely stain.
Rdecilo za lica v stiku v temno ro�nati barvi. Je zelo trd in ga je te�ko nanesti tako na ustnice kot na lica. Na licih je obstojnost slaba, na ustnicah je v redu, pusti lep stain efekt.

Essence Twilight LE Lipgloss in Lunch at Cullen's

A dark berry red, very pigmented. It smells divine, candy like. I love wearing it as a stain.
Temno malinasto rdece barve zelo pigmentiran. Di�i bo�ansko, sladko. Najraje ga nosim kot stain (zgornja slika).

Essence LE Denim Wanted Duo Eyeshadow # 02 My Boyfriend's Jeans

Consist of two colours: a light silver and dark violet. Both a quite pigmented, however staying power is really poor, especially the violet one disappears quickly.
Barvi v tem dvojcki sta srebra in temno vijolicna. Obe sta kar pigmentirani, vendar zelo neobstojni, �e posebej violicna.
