Lindex Lipstick Matt, shade PLUM (photos, swatches)

12/02/16

I know there has been a hype surrounding matte liquid lipsticks, but I just can’t get on that wagon, I still prefer classic lipstick over liquid one. That’s why I purchased another matte lipstick today, but this time it’s my first lipstick (and product) from Lindex, well known Swedish brand. I wasn’t aware they had a make up range until I moved to Sweden, and the best thing is – their make up range is cruelty free with many vegan options, too!

Anyway, I don’t know if Lipstick Matt range is something new, but the samples I came across today were brand new so I suppose it might be (?). This range has only a few shades, I think it’s 7 of them, and I picked the darkest shade – PLUM.  I tried it on quickly today and I like it in general – highly pigmented, not patchy, applies easily and smoothly, gorgeous deep shade and it is matte but not super matte which means it won’t be drying (probably, but I’ll see about that in a few days). The only thing I definitely don’t like is the strong scent it has. I dislike scents in general, unless they are really gentle, but this one is that typical old lipstick scent, if you know what I mean. I guess it’s safe to say that this is a classic lipstick after all. :D

Anyway, here’s a quick swatch on my skin and lips.

Make Up Store has some really great deals at the moment so I picked a few products – a lipstick and three eye products! Their current deals are: 100 SEK for a lipstick (regular price: 185 SEK) / products in the old packaging: 50 SEK/each or three for 100 SEK.

Products I got:

  • Lipstick: China Red
  • Cyber Shadow: Sapphire
  • Eyedust: Hectic & Wisteria

All four products have a lovely texture and pigmentation but my favorite product is, of course, China Red lipstick! No surprises there! ;) Here are my photos and swatches!

Sneak Peek: Make Up Store Lipstick, shade Amaranth

Make Up Store Lipstick, shade Amaranth

It’s been a few months since I noticed this shade for the first time and I just couldn’t get it out of my head. Okay, not like I had it on my mind all the time, but every time I approached Make Up Store counters, I reached for Amaranth. It’s fair to say it was destiny and that I had no other choice but to buy it. :D Fast forward to today when I actually DID buy it and here I am, posting a quick sneak peek with my swatch!

Amaranth is a creamy red shade, a bit lighter than other red shades I own, but that’s the reason I like it so much – it’s really eye-catching and I think it will be perfect for summer. ♥

I’ll be creating some makeup looks over the next few days with some products I purchased recently so stay tuned!

Sneak Peek: Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani Rock Steady Lipstick

03/20/16

Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani collection was released a while ago and it contains some really nice products. Since I’m in a ‘lipstick phase’ for a while now, I decided to get only one lipstick and I chose the shade called Rock Steady. This shade looks quite boring in the packaging but it is indeed gorgeous once it’s applied. Unlike many lipsticks this season, shade Rock Steady is not matte, it’s has in fact cream finish. Here’s my sneak peek since I haven’t tested it properly, but I will get back to you with my review. I’m not sure where can you get it if you live outside Sweden, but here it’s available in selected KICKS store or online. Price: 190 SEK.
