Some mail love #3

I was so pleased to receive the swap I did with a lovely girl from South Korea. Here's what I got from her!

All the items are brand new because I had the chance to choose them for myself. I've been wanting these items forever, but before discovering the existence of swaps I basically had no access to them!

The item I craved for the most was the Skinfood BB cream, which I can't wait to use. The Lioele lipstick I wanted to try as well. It turned up it's a bit too orangey for my skintone, but it doesnt matter, I'll find a way to use it.

Skinfood Good Afternoon BB Cream Peach Green Tea

Lioele Real Vivid Matte Lipstick #3 Peach

Tonymoly: Petite Bunny Gloss Bar #06 Orange

Probably the item I was expecting the less is the TonyMoly lipgloss - I chose it only because it looked so kawaii, but I found out it's probably the product I like the most out of the whole box. It gives a really pretty natural colour on the lips and I find it perfect for daily use. I've been looking for a product like this for ages! I'm really curious to find the other products from the same line.

Skinfood Royal Honey Hydro cream sample, Missha The Style Nail Polish (CR003), Lioele Pure White Skin and Pure White Emulsion samples, Baviphat lip tint

The girl I swapped with was so nice to throw in some extras, like some Lioele and Skinfood samples, a Missha nail polish (it's already on my nails!!) and a Baviphat liptint. The samples I'll have to google because the words on them are in Korean LOL

I really like the Missha nail polish, such a pretty colour. The bottle has a strange shape and the applicator brush is so large that you need to wipe it only once on your nail to fully cover it O: it can be comfortable but you have to be very, very precise. Anyway you'll see it in the review I'll do soon (:

I've never tried liptints so I was happy to get one. I tried it once and I quite liked the result. I definitely have to expand my knowledge on this subject!

BottegaVerde Lipstick Rosso Velluto

BottegaVerde is an Italian brand that sells natural products and cosmetics. I was buying some Christmas presents in my local shop and the shopping assistant told me that if I bought one more product, it would get a 40% discount on it. I went through the lipstick rack but I was a bit in a hurry, so I ended up picking a deep red lipstick instead of the pink toned one I wanted. I noticed the mistake when I got back home, so there was nothing I could do. Not that I don't like the lipstick I got in the end, but it's not the one that I intended to buy and I already had a similar one.

Anyway it's a good product so I don't regret buying it. 

The BottegaVerde Longlast lipstick comes in a very elegant black tube. The outside of it reminds me of the consistency of the matte lipstick that's inside. The shade of this product is a very deep, sensual red (it's called 'Rosso Velluto', which means 'Red Velvet' for a reason). Applying it is very easy, it glides on smoothly even if it's a matte. I wouldn't wear it for the daytime because it's such a loud colour! I think it'd be perfect for an evening date or something like that, because it draws the attention on your mouth.

It has a long staying power and it contains Argan oil and Hyaluronic oil so it's supposed to protect and keep your lips moisturized. I'm definitely going to try the other lipsticks from the same line. I love the natural effect the matte lipsticks give. Next time I'll pay more attention Ito the shade I pick though!

I'm currently in love with golden and glitter.. does it show? :)

Some mail love #2

Yesterday I was so happy to receive the giveaway prize I won over at Moondancerjen's blog - 6 nail polishes from the China Glaze Let it Snow collection! I got Blue Years Eve, Ring in the Red, Twinkle Lights, Glittering Garland, Snow Globe and Tinsel Town. I've been wanting to try a China Glaze nail polish since forever because I don't think they sell them here in Italy (or at least not where I live), so I was glad to get these beauties!

The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was the size of the bottles - they're huge! They contain 14ml, while the nail polishes I generally use contain only 11ml. The second thing I noticed was that you get a nice grip of the applicator because its surface is not completely smooth.

I was a bit sad to receive these just after the end of the Christmas holidays because I think I would've used them a lot! Anyways, except for Twinkle Lights which is just too christmassy I don't think I'll have problems wearing the other shades throughout the year.

Ring in the Red, Glittering Garland, Blue Years Eve

Tinsel Town, Snow Globe, Twinkle Lights

The one I like the best is definitely Snow Globe. I absolutely love it and I can't wait to try it! You can't really see it in the picture, but it has red, blue and green sparkles as well as the regular 'white' ones.
