Makeup Look | Glossy Eyelids + Dark Wine Lips

11/18/17

Last weekend a friend of mine was celebrating her birthday and I decided to wear something that I usually don’t wear: glossy eyelids. It’s a look that you can often see in magazines, but I haven’t tried it on myself for some reason. I know it’s not necessarily a good combination when you’re wearing eyeshadow under the gloss because it can crease a lot, but on bare skin? It’s basically perfect!

The lipgloss I was using on my eyelids is really affordable and it is so long lasting! It lasted for almost 9 hours (until I removed it). It is a tiny bit sticky, but I didn’t have a sticky feeling once it was on my eyelids, I just think that the application itself is a bit sticky.

All in all – a simple yet effective look!

Mulberry On My Lips ♥

09/19/16

Here’s a funny thing: when I was a kid, my grandparents had this huge, old mulberry tree near their house and I loved to climb on it and pick mulberries (well, and eat them, obviously!). That’s actually my favourite fruit so when I saw that IsaDora launched a new collection which includes 10 lipsticks with matching lip liners (7 shades are totally new) and that one of them was called ‘mulberry’, I just knew it would be a great shade and that I had no choice but to purchase it! Fast forward a few days – here are my (lip)swatches and first impressions!

  • IsaDora Sculpting Lipliner Waterproof 66 Mulberry (0.3 g / 89 SEK / €9.30) is a matte red wine-ish shade with a slight brown undertone. It goes on easily but it is definitely drying and I would recommend exfoliation before applying it since it does emphasize any imperfection. Another thing is that it can’t be worn alone – way too dry for that (and I like drier lipsticks and lip liners, LOL).
  • IsaDora Lip Desire Sculpting Lipstick 66 Mulberry (3.3 g / 139 SEK / €14.50) is a darker creamy wine colour with purple undertone. Goes on easily and looks great with matching lip liner (though not really matching since these shades are slightly different, but that’s not really an issue once the products are applied). Once it’s applied on top of the lip liner, I definitely have no issues with dryness.

Here are my photos and swatches!

natural daylight (it looks a bit brownish, but it definitely has a more purple undertone on my lips; it is a bit hard to capture it)

Do you like mulberry (fruit / lip products)? :)
