Review | Rouge Bunny Rouge Original Skin Blush – Gracilis

03/03/17

 photo rouge-bunny-rouge-blush-gracilis00_zpsnty4rwkb.jpg

One of my favourite products lately is my first blush from Rouge Bunny Rouge in shade Gracilis, lovely medium rose shade with a hint of mauve. According to Rouge Bunny Rouge, this shade is best suited for pale, cool complexions. I’m not pale, more like light to medium, but I do have cool undertones and this shade is definitely suitable for my complexion.

This is how they describes their blushes:

“Original Skin Blush blends with a sheer, melting touch for a naturally luminous silky glow. (…) Innovative powders entwine with your skin to preserve perfection all day long. Result is ‘your skin but better’ effect; you’ll wonder how you blushed before.”

As all other Rouge Bunny Rouge products I’ve tried so far, even this product has this nice and soft formula that blends on its own. Additionally, ‘your skin but better’ description is completely appropriate since this blush really is just that.  My skin tends to look quite dull and tired, especially lately, but a bit of CC cream in combination with this blush does wonders for me. And not only is this blush looking lovely, it is long lasting, too! Rouge Bunny Rouge claims this blush lasts all day long, and, well, it does! I usually apply it early in the morning and by the time I get home – 12 hours later – it is still there! This blush comes in a simple black packaging with a mirror on the inside. It contains 5.5 grams of product and it costs €31. Another thing that impressed me, along with the quality, is the lovely pattern on the blush itself. I almost felt bad for “destroying” it, but it would be a shame not to use such a lovely shade. ♥

Rouge Bunny Rouge blush comes in five shades and that might seem a bit odd, especially today when brands offer so many shades and different types of products (blush in a stick, cream blushes, and so on). On one hand, I wished there were a few more shades, but then again, I’m glad that Rouge Bunny Rouge isn’t one of those brands that comes out with many collections/products/shades each year and who basically push you into buying more and more products (especially if it’s limited edition and you feel like you might miss something if you don’t buy it right away). Not sure if that was their intention from the beginning, but I really like how they are sustainable and how they take their time to launch new shades/products. :)

Here is my swatch, but I’ll be taking a photo of the blush on my cheeks this weekend; I finally have a bit of time for that.

Mini Review | Rouge Bunny Rouge Raw Garden Eye Shadow Palette – Caliche

01/18/17

 photo rouge-bunny-rouge-caliche01_zpsrc4twib7.jpg

Last month I got my hands on a few products from Rouge Bunny Rouge, and one of them was this lovely eye shadow palette called Caliche. At the moment, Rouge Bunny Rouge has only two different palettes, but I do hope they will come out with more shades in the future. In the meantime, I’ll share my thoughts on Caliche which I’ve used a few times.

Let me start by saying how RBR eye shadows have one of the best formulas out there. Well, at least that’s my opinion. They are so silky and buttery. They basically blend without any additional effort – you don’t need to try hard to blend the shades because they do that for you. All you need is a brush. Caliche has the same formula, but I have the feeling like the formula is somehow even better. Not sure how is that even possible, but it really is – extremely soft and gentle formula with a bit of discreet shine that you don’t see until it’s applied on the eyelids. If I had to use an adjective to describe these eye shadows, for some reason fragile / delicate comes to my mind. Since the formula is a bit specific, the pigmentation is different as well – it’s much softer and not so much “in your face”. Caliche isn’t for those who prefer strong pigment, it’s rather for those who want certain colours in a softer form. I prefer to wear these colours on those days when I want to quickly define my eyes and get that soft, misted look. Another thing that I love about these shades is that they are cool toned, which makes me especially happy since lately I’ve been seeing mostly warm toned eye shadow palettes.

The packaging is definitely exquisite. Unfortunately, I have no photos of it, even though I tried to take some, but it’s impossible to show you how interesting it is. I think I’ll make a short video where you’ll be able to see how it looks like. When it comes to the packaging of the palette itself, I love how there is some sort of magnetic mechanism which makes it a lot easier to open the lid (hate it when I basically have to break my nails in order to open a product, LOL). Additionally, there is a mirror in the size of the lid which might be useful on the go. The only thing I don’t like, is the fact that eye shadows aren’t separated – they don’t come in their own pans. For now, that’s not an issue, but it might be in the future once I hit the pan and try to scoop the very last bit of a certain shade.

The price of this product is on the higher end – it costs €59 / $63 / 560 SEK. It contains 7 grams of product in total, which is 1,75 grams per eye shadow, and that’s €14.75 / $15,75 / 140 SEK per eye shadow. Personally, I am a fan of their eye shadows and I think they’re totally worth the price.

All in all, I’m satisfied with my purchase, but to be honest, I didn’t think it would be any different. I just know that I always get the best quality with Rouge Bunny Rouge products and I always know what to expect from them. So far, I’ve never been disappointed and I hope our mutual love will last…
As I mentioned above, the formula is one of the best out there, they apply like a dream and they last for many hours on my eyelids without any primer.

Favourites | Neutral Eyeshadows

06/19/16

 photo favourites-neutral-eyeshadows01_zpswnql3vvy.jpg

In my upcoming posts I’ll be sharing some of my all time favourite beauty products, and my first post is about my favourite neutral eyeshadows. ♥

As you can see, it’s only four of them and their names are:

  • Inglot 467DS – perfect shade to apply to inner corners or as brow bone highlighter, contains teeny tiny particles
  • Inglot 390M – the perfect all-over-the-eyelid base shade which I always use as my first shade to cover my eyelids so I could have that nice, even base (matte)
  • Inglot 360M – my favourite shade to apply to the crease, perfect for those who would like to wear eye makeup but not something too visible (matte)
  • Rouge Bunny Rouge Blackpepper Jay – my first matte eyeshadow from RBR and by far my favourite one ♥ I often use only this eyeshadow for everything I can think of since it’s highly blendable and it can be used as the perfect smokey eyeshadow, but as well as a base eyeshadow, too. 

Once I swatched these eyeshadows I noticed how much they remind me of Urban Decay Naked2 Basics so I posted swatches of that palette below so you can compare them. :)

Rouge Bunny Rouge eye shadows are one of my favorite ones, and shade Blackpepper Jay is my go-to shade, whether I’m using it as a slight crease shade or as a true smokey shade, so no wonder I ordered a few additional shades. Their highlighting liquid is something new for me, haven’t tried it before, but read so many good reviews that I was kinda “pushed” to order it. Read further to see my detailed list of products and in the end of this posted I swatched everything. :)

Swatches were taken in natural daylight but I don’t think these really show the true beauty of these products.
