NYX Soft Mat Lip Creams

After being very impressed by Manhattan's Soft Mat Creams, I had to try the NYX version to. These are almost identical to Manhattan's, literally everything from the packaging to the vanilla ice cream scent is almost the same. The difference is in the range of shades, NYX offers 11 while Manhattan a mere 6. I got shade named Tokyo (a gorgeous light peachy pink, a bit bright, but still fantastic shade, loove it), Istanbul (another beautiful shade, a light dusty pink, slightly lighter than Manhattan's 56K but still very similar) and Addis Ababa (a bright fuchsia, in some lights it looks almost neon it's that bright. A fun colour but it's only for the bravest). As I said these are almost identical as Manhattan's, they are light creams, very pigmented, incredibly long lasting and don't move after they set. They are about 6$ which is cheaper than Manhattan's version which is (at least here in Slovenia) 6,95�. These are cruelty free and hypoallergenic. I love the names (Tokyo, Istanbul, Milan, Amsterdam,...), unlike Manhattan's which have the most boring names (56K, 45H,...).

Po tem ko sem bila neizmerno zadovoljna z Manhattanovimi Soft Mat Lip Cream �minkami/glosi, sem morala preizkusiti �e NYX-ovo verzijo. Ti so skoraj identicni Manhattanovim, vse od embala�e do vonja po vanilijem sladoledu je enako. Razlika je v �tevilu odtenkov, ki jih ponujajo, NYX jih ima 11, Manhattan pa le 6. Sama ima odtenke Tokyo (cudovita, svetlo, malo breskova pink, v �ivo je malo bolj �iv kot na sliki, meni je neizmerno v�ec), Istanbul (�e en cudovit odtenek, svetlo roza zelo podoben Manhattanovemu 56K le rahlo svetlej�i) in Addis Ababa (�iv fuksijast odtenek, zelo �iv skoraj neon v nekaterih svetlobah, je le za najbolj pogumne. Upala sem da bo malenkost manj �iv in bolj nosljiv, ampak to dobi� ce naroca� po spletu). Enako kot Mahattanovi, so nekak�ne lahke kreme, zelo pigmentirani, neverjetno obstojni in se ne premaknejo nikamor potem ko se posu�ijo. Stanejo okrog 6$, kar je ceneje kot Manhattanovi, ki so 6,95� (vsaj pri nas, baje da so v Nemciji 3,5�, lol). So cruelty free in hipoalergenski. Imena se mi zelo dopadejo, imenovani so po mestih (Tokyo, Istanbul, Milan, Amsterdam), v nasprotju z Manhattanovimi, ki imajo najbolj dolgocasna imena (56K, 45H). In �e en kup slik:

 Istanbul:

 Addis Ababa:

 

And here is a comparison between Istanbul (lower lip) and Manhattan's 56K (top lip). Istanbul is slightly lighter, but only slightly.

�e primerjava Istanbula (spodnja ustnica) in 56K od Manhattan-a (zgornja ustnica). Istanbul je malenkost svetlej�i.

How do you like these? / In kako so vam kaj v�ec?

Haul - Manhattan and Alverde

Manhattan Soft Mat Cream in 54L

I couldn't resist buying another one of Manhattan's Soft Mat Creams. I just adore them (I previously raved about them here and here). So here are swatches of 54L, which is a dusty rose colour. Isn't it gorgeous?

Nisem se mogla upreti, da ne bi kupila �e enega izmed Manhattan Soft Mat Cream-ov. Obo�ujem jih, o njih sem pisala �e tukaj in tukaj. Evo �e slike odtenka 54L, ki je temno roza. A ni lep?

Alverde Gel-Eyeliner 046  Mareike

Alverde recently released LE called My Best Friend which includes several gel eyeliners, lipsticks, eyeliner brush and eyeshadow palettes. I bought eyeliner brush (second one, I like this brush a lot) and eyeliner in the shade 046 Mareike, which is a petrol blue. Consistency is really weird, hair gel like. I hard to apply it nice. I thought the staying power will be an issue, but it drys fast and it stays on reasonably well. The colour is so pretty, but if I knew what the consistency's like, I probably wouldn't buy it.

Alverde je pred kratkim postavil na police novo omejeno kolekcijo imenovano My Best Friend, ki vsebuje gel eyelinerje, �minke, paletke s sencili in copic za eyeliner. Kupila sem �e drugi copic (meni je zelo v�ec) in gel eyeliner v odtenku 046 Mareike, ki je petrolno modre barve. Je pa zelo cudne konsistence, nekako tak kot gel za lase. Ravno zato sem sumila, da ne bo obstojen, pa se zacuda hitro posu�i in tam tudi ostane. Vseeno je te�ko naredi lepo crto. Barva je lepa, vseeno pa ga verjetno ne bi kupila, ce bi vedela kak�en je. 

Manhattan Soft Mat Lipcreams

I already raved about these lipcreams, which are amazing. They feel like liquid lipsticks, are very pigmented, and dry mat. I recently purchased shade called 53M, which is peachy-pink. Swatches of 45H and 56K can be found here. Today I swatched all 6 colours available together and I think I'll also buy 54L. They are about 6-7� and are quite heavily scented, the smell like vanilla ice cream.

V eni izmed prej�njih objav sem �e govorila kako obo�ujem Manhattanove Soft Mat Lipcream-e (slike odtenkov 56K in 45H so tukaj). So kot tekoce �minke, zelo pigmentirane in prekrivne, posu�ijo se mat. Nazadnje sem kupila �e odtenek 53K, ki breskove barve. Na voljo je 6 odtenkov (spodnja slika), mislim da bo kupila �e odtenek 54L. Stanejo nekaj cez 6�. So zelo odi�avljeni, meni di�ijo po vanilijem sladoledu.

Haul Deborah and Manhattan

Deborah Kohl Kajal

It's a part of a new Deborah collection, the name of which eluded me. It's very pigmented, easy to smudge and it never needs sharpening. However it was about 10 �, which is very expensive, considering that Sleek makeup sells the same thing for �3.99.

Kohl je del nove kolekcije od Deborah, katere ime se ne spomnim (lol). Je prvi eyeliner take oblike pri nas, vsaj kolikor sem jaz na tekocem. Je zelo pigmentiran, se ga lahko zabri�e in ga ni potrebno �iliti. Bil je 10 �, Sleek (britanska znamka) ima enak eyeliner za 4 funte.

Manhattan Tender Touch

Manhattan Tender Touch swatches

I bought 2 of the Mat Lipcreams named 56K and 45H (95G is a beige-brown colour, which is soo not my colour):

These are GORGEOUS. They are supposed to be lip glosses, however, they feel more like liquid lipsticks. They provide a full-coverage, mat colour with amazing lasting power. They have a very strong sweet scent, which reminds me of banana yoghurt  Give them a try if you have a chance, because they are amazing. They were about 7� each.

Ti glosi so CUDOVITI. So bolj kot tekoce �minke, polnoprekrivni in majo mat fini�, ter so izjemno obstojni. Imajo zelo mocen sladek vonj, ki me �e najbolj spominja na bananin jogurt. Ce imate mo�nost in jih definitivno preizkusite, so vredne tistih 6-7 �.
