Some Mail Love #8

How I missed this kind of posts! Today I came home to find a little package from Keautystore (formerly Liliesshop.net). I received an Etude House Dear My Essence Lips Talk in EBE101, a Lioele L'cret Miracle lipstick in #04 Neat Yellow and one in #03 Fresh Green. As a lipstick junkie as I am, I was so happy to get to try these new products! I've just only tried them once and I've been absolutely impressed with them, as with every product from Etude House and Lioele. You will soon read more in-depth review about these, of course!

Nature Republic Eco Crayon Lip Rouge #2

I definitely have a thing for chubby pencil-shaped eye and lip products, and I'm always happy to try new one. I got this Nature Republic Eco Crayon from KollectionK, an online store which focuses on Korean beauty and fashion brands. I had never tried Nature Republic so I was excited to test this product out!

I probably have shown my appreciation towards packaging like this a million times, so I'll just skip this part of the review! I just like the fact that it's so practical and easy to apply!
The lip crayon that I got is in the shade #2, a quite natural berry red. As for the texture and finish, it's almost impossible to compare to the Clinique Chubby Sticks, Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains and similar; those are like lipbalms, the Nature Republic one is more like a creamy lipstick. It's quite pigmented but still feels moisturizing, and it kind of reminds me of MAC Cremesheens. It also doesn't have any glitter in it, which is definitely a plus for me. :) 
As for the staying power, it will stay on the lips for an hour or two, then it'll start to fade, but nothing major.

I really, really like this product and I'm happy I got the chance to try it. It's only $7,80 at KollectionK, also.

What do you think about Nature Republic? Have you tried anything from them?

Today I want... #9



...Etude House Know Your Body scrub. I know the name sounds a bit creepy, but I think this scrub looks so cute! From the swatch, the consistency looks really interesting, too. I'll probably never try it because there are so many others I can try that are more accessible to me, but still!

PS: here's a coupon code to Keautystore.com if you're interested in Korean make-up and fashion: blog115

Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo in Pink Gold

The Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoos were -and still are- very hyped up between bloggers and youtubers,  so when the new Maybelline Fall collection was released I couldn't help but buy one of those. The Maybelline Color Tattoos are cream eyeshadows which come in tons of different colours (if you're lucky enough to live in the US or UK). In Italy they're priced at about €7,00, which is fairly inexpensive for a good quality eyeshadow. The packaging looks a lot like MAC Paint Pot's, it's made of glass and feels sturdy. The newest Maybelline collection included Metallic Pomegranate and Pink Gold, which is the one I chose. It's a light pink with lots of golden sparkles, a very natural colour which is perfect to brighten up the eye area. It's great when used as a base for powder eyeshadow, or simply worn alone. It definitely doesn't last 24 hours (who would wear eyeshadow for 24 hours straight?), but it does last a lot.

I'm going to Rome for the weekend and I'm planning to bring it with me! I hope to do some shopping there. Have you tried the Maybelline Color Tattoos? What do you think about them?
