AVON COLORDISIAC LIPSTICK

When it comes to picking out lip products I usually pick out everything that is nude, beige or light pink. I was pretty daring when I ordered this Avon's Colordisiac Lipstick in shade Can't Resist Coral. The reason that urged me to do that is that I have been craving after red lipsticks for a while now. But when it was time to do something about it, I thought that I would pick out something more subtle than deep true red... so I decided to get a coral red lipstick that would suit also perfectly into the daytime as well as nighttime. With minimum eye makeup I have been wearing this lipstick and couldn't be more happy about it.


It comes out more subtle than in tube by giving very smooth, creamy satin finish. Staying power isn't as good as some matte lipstick would have, but it is very great for sating lipstick. It smells wonderful, doesn't try my lips out and adds so much to the whole look when I feel like having a little colour in my life.


It has just the right amount of red in it without being too dramatic. In my opinion it the shade that anyone can wear easily without a doubt.

MINT CHOCOLATE CHIPS ON EYES

Today when organizing my makeup I found the most perfect eye pigment for Christmas and winter time. It is brown colour that can be layered for more dramatic result than neutral eye. Its fine and smooth glimmer in it adds so much when achieving perfect holiday eye.
Green particles in it don't show up very extreme as in the jar. It catches the light in different angle and stays very subtle yet festive if needed.

It is Mint Chocolate Chip by Lumiere Cosmetics and I have a sample size of it which is available option if you don't feel like buying a full size. There is plenty of product in the jar.

I didn't get a lot of fall out as I was trying to be careful with it. Shadow being very pigmented you don't need much of it and so the result will be cleaner and more neat. If you do get fall out, it is very easy to remove it by just wiping it off afterwards. It doesn't stain rest of the makeup. I was very pleased with that as some pigments can ruin under eye area with seconds.


You can use this pigment wet or dry. I opted for dry and still got pretty good coverage with it. For an evening eye or wanting more dramatic look I think that using it with liquid will be great!

After writing this post I think I am craving an actual mint chocolate now.

PERFECT DUPE FOR PANDORA BRACELETS

I am sure a lot of you ladies crave after famous but expensive Pandora bracelets that are unique as you can put your own bracelets together with beads you personally like. If you don't want to spend so much on a bracelet, you can choose Charm Factory. Everything on their site is super beautiful, inexpensive and good quality. When it comes to keeping your bracelet unique there are some many options and variations you can pick out yourself for ten times cheaper.

I have my February Amethyst Bracelet that was already put together, I picked out after my birthday. Charm Factor has bracelets dedicated to all twelve months and different colours beads that will suit your birth month. It comes in neat packaging which makes it super easy to buy as a gift to someone special.



As you can see bracelet has seven beads. Mine is 8", because I like my bracelets loose. As long as material goes it is silver plated brass, lead free pewter and glass beads. One end of the bracelet screws off, so you can add more or take some off.
It catches light beautifully, beads are darker or lighter depending on the light. The colour of the bracelet doesn't wear off even if I wear it daily. As I said, I am impressed by the quality even though it costs very little.



I like to wear it with my watches. On this you see it with the plain cheap white watch, but bracelet adds so much more to it. For $10.99 it think it is literally a steal!

I just love when someone asks "Oh, you have a Pandora bracelet?".
