<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today I have my last review of these "all about" palettes. It's the "all about chocolates" palette. I have also reviewed the <a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/05/essence-all-about-nude.html">"all about nude"</a> <a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/07/essence-all-about-romance.html">"all about romance"</a> <a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/07/essence-all-about-sunrise.html">"all about sunrise"</a> and the <a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/05/essence-like-first-day-in-spring-gift.html">"all about spring"</a> palettes. These palettes are being discontinued, and replaced with new 8 pan versions. I'm sad to see these leave, but also very excited to try the new ones.</div>
<br />
<strong>Price:</strong> £3,45 or about $3,77 at <a href="http://kosmetik4less.de/" sl-processed="1"><span style="color: #a64d79;">Kosmetik4less.de</span></a><br /><strong></strong><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Packaging: </strong>I love it! the clear plastic packaging looks really nice, and it feels really sturdy. You get a lot of eyeshadow, and there is no waisted Space, no applicators either! You do not get a mirror either, but seriously, how many products with mirrors do you need? you probably have enough of those anyways. You get 8,5 grams of shadow divided between 6 shadows.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At a first glance, this palette looks quite cool toned. But upon swatching it, I found it to look a Little warmer Against my skin. Applied to the lids, the colors are quite neutral, leaning on cool. You get 1 matte pale cream color and 1 satin/shimmery champagne and the rest are somewhere in between satin and metallic. These are all very subtle neutrals and once Applied to my eyes most of the darker colors look pretty much the same.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I really really like the matte pale cream color, but I wish that the darker colors were a little more different from eachother. I would have liked to see a matte dark chocolate shade or a warm cocoa shade. No matter what colors I use, I find that the eye looks turn up, pretty much identical. So I would say, that this palette isn't all that versatile. With that being said, I do actually really like the finished result it gives. I think this is a great little everyday palette, for beginners as well as the more experienced users.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I still prefer my "all about sunrise" as I'm much more into the warm neutrals. But I definately recommend this if you are into more cool toned neutrals and if you want something affordable that's still great quality. It's a great little palette for throwing in your weekend bag, and it won't take up much space.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm super super pleased with all the "nude" products Essence has been lauunching this past year. So I thought I would try one of the nude glosses. I do have to say, that I'm more into the medium nude Shades, rather than the super light beigey nudes. And Essence do have a lot of those super light Shades in this Collection, so I would love to see some darker versions as well. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Price:</strong> €1,95 or about $2,14</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Packaging:</strong> The packaging is the same as their lonlasting glosses (so sad that those are discontinued) I really like the packaging. The doe foot applicator is great, and I don't think this looks like a cheap lip gloss at all. Very pleased with the packaging. You get 5ml. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is the darkest color from the XXXL nude gloss Collection, 06 Soft almond. It's a sheer, creamy browny nude color. It's not too warm toned and not too cool either. On my skin it looks quite dark, but once Applied it looks a bit lighter. It has just the right amount of pigmentation for me. I don't want my glosses to be too sheer and I don't want them to be crazy opaque either. This is sheer, yet pigmented enough to get the color I want. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgknQP3OtQ4ytfcmySfJXtrdduhQS6Cto9FC19Ti2tUEbrk5UyMc1qDWQbDPGAWFXzRrWkMirRHfNnjQZo_5QTheuX2zwD4eQj-qU7PwXU18QJIoVedTW_jz4yoYZGPNcmDB8LHg6-XSR6E/s1600/Esssence_xxxl_lipgloss_nude.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgknQP3OtQ4ytfcmySfJXtrdduhQS6Cto9FC19Ti2tUEbrk5UyMc1qDWQbDPGAWFXzRrWkMirRHfNnjQZo_5QTheuX2zwD4eQj-qU7PwXU18QJIoVedTW_jz4yoYZGPNcmDB8LHg6-XSR6E/s640/Esssence_xxxl_lipgloss_nude.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was expecting this gloss, to be the same formula as the longlasting glosses, but it's not. The formula is the same as their original XXXL glosses, wich is a lot less sticky, but also wears off a lot quicker. It's a much more comfortable gloss, than the longlasting ones, but the staying power is not that great. I don't mind it too much, as I really really like the color and I like how comfortable it is to wear. I just have to reapply it quite often.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I haven't noticed much of a scent with this one, maybe just the slightest sweet scent, but it's not noticable once Applied. Wich is good if you hate scented lip products. And this does not have a taste to it either. I really really hate when lip products taste of perfume or even just have a sweet taste, so very pleased with that.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I definately recommend these glosses, to anyone looking for a comfortable, affordable everyday gloss. I will be getting a lot of use out of this one. I'm not sure if I would try any of the other Shades though, they look quite pale, but if Essence came out with something similar to this shade, I would definately pick it up. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
These palettes will be discontinued, when the Essence fall Collection launches. So I thought I'd better get the reviews out, while there's still time to purchase them. I have already reviewed the "<a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/05/essence-all-about-nude.html">all about nude</a>" and <a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/07/essence-all-about-sunrise.html">"all about sunrise"</a> and the limited edtion <a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/05/essence-like-first-day-in-spring-gift.html">"all about spring</a>" palettes. And I still have the "all about chocolates" to review as well.</div>
<br />
<strong>Price:</strong> £3,45 or about $3,77 at <a href="http://kosmetik4less.de/"><span style="color: #a64d79;">Kosmetik4less.de</span></a><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This palette is a Little hit and miss for me. The quality is really nice and the texture is soft and smooth, but the light Shades look too similar once Applied. I really really enjoy the champagne shade and the dark plummy shade. But I wish the mint shade was even more minty and I would have liked something else instead of the white. But this is just personal preference.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I did enjoy using this palette, and I did come up with 2 looks that weren't too similar, but I feel that this palette needs a little more diversity. I really really wanted to like this palette. But it's not going to be a must have palette for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you like these types of colors, you will love this little palette. But for me, it's just not that special, and I'm probably not going to reach for it all that often.</div>

I can't wait to see the new 8 pan palettes that Essence are launching this fall. I feel like there might be more looks to accomplish with the extra 2 shadows added. Hopefully the texture and quality will be the same, or better.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But this palette is a miss for me. If you want to try one of these palettes, I really really recommend the <a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/07/essence-all-about-sunrise.html">"all about sunrise"</a> palette. It has amazing pigmentation and beautiful sunny colors.</div>
<br />
Have you tried any of these palettes? will you be trying the new 8 pan palettes when they launch?<br />

Summer is finally upon us! We have been waiting for the summer weather in Denmark for a long time now, and it's finally here! I go through powder like crazy during the summer months. So I thought I would share my newest powder purchase with you. The Essence pure nude powder.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This comes in 4 Shades and I chose the lightest (pure Ivory) and it's a perfect match. But because the powder is so sheer, I think I could get away with the second lightest also.</div>

<strong>Packaging:</strong> Typical plastic packaging. Normally Essence like to make all clear packaging. But I think they have made the back og this compact black, to hide the terracotta plate, that this powder is baked on. I had to glue my plate back in, as it fell out of the compact. I'm not sure if this was just mine, or they all are a like that. But it was no big deal, and fortunately the powder did not break.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This powder definately lives up to it's name, it does not make me look overly matte and does not make my face look cakey or powdery at all. It does mattify, but it's a healthy satin matte and not a flat matte. It's really hard to overdo this powder, wich I appreciate. It does not lend any additional coverage to your makeup, but it sets your Foundation nicely and gives a natural finish. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I really enjoy using this powder, and I find it controls my oils quite well, even though I don't think it's supposed to. This is a great powder for pretty much all skin types. It does not accentuate dry patches and it held up pretty well on my more oily days. And paired with my favorite setting spray from Makeup Revolution, you have a powerhouse of a combo!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have to admit, that I actually prefer this over my MAC mineralized skin finish. Yup you heard me. The MAC one has better coverage, but it's also a lot more obvious on my skin. It just doesn't look as nice on me as this powder does. So if you are in the market for a great baked powder, with a natural finish, that wears well on most skin types, and does not make you look cakey or powdery, I would totally recommend this one! It's pretty awesome, and it's pretty much the only powder I reach for at the moment.</div>

So definately check this powder out! I can't believe it's less than 4 bucks. I'm never buying a MAC mineralized skin finish powder Again, that's for sure.<br />

I just can't get enough of Essence products at the moment, and I can't wait for their full fall/Winter 2015 Collection to be revealed. I got this palette a Little while back, along with most of the other palettes, and now it's time for this "all about sunrise" to be reviewed. I have also reviewed the <strong><a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/05/essence-all-about-nude.html">"all about nude"</a></strong> and the <strong><a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/05/essence-like-first-day-in-spring-gift.html">"all about spring"</a></strong> palettes.<br />
<br />
<strong>Price:</strong> £3,45 or about $3,77 at <a href="http://kosmetik4less.de/">kosmetik4less.de</a><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Packaging: </strong>I love it! the clear plastic packaging looks really nice, and it feels really sturdy. You get a lot of eyeshadow, and there is no waisted Space, no applicators either! You do not get a mirror either, but seriously, how many products with mirrors do you need? you probably have enough of those anyways. You get 8,5 grams of shadow divided between 6 shadows.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is such a stunning little palette. The pigmentation is great with every single color and I think all the colors complement eachother very well. I would have liked to see a matte shadow though. The darkest color has a satin finish and although it's a very very nice shadow, I would have prefered it to be a little darker. The orange shade does contain glitter, wich I'm normally not a fan of, but it's not obnoxious or chunky, so I don't mind as much.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's definately better in texture, quality and color selection than the <strong><a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/05/essence-all-about-nude.html">"all about nude"</a></strong> palette. I have enjoyed using this palette a lot these past few weeks, and I will definately continue to use it. I think it's a great little palette for summer.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
These are all very easy to apply and I have no problem getting them to the intensity that I want. I find these to stay on quite well throughout the day. I do always use a primer, because I have oily lids. These do fade slightly after a full days wear, but it's nothing too much and they do not crease on me.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I cannot recomment this little palette enough, I think it's beautiful, affordable and travel friendly. If you already have a tonne of these shades in your Collection, then you don't need this. But if you are looking for affordable, good quality eyeshadows, then these are definately something you may want to check out. I'm glad I did. </div>

Ever since Makeup Revolution launched these Protection palettes, I have been intriqued by them. Wouldn't it be nice to have almost all your face makeup packed into one palette? I mean all you need is a little Foundation and you are good to go! So I finally caved in, and got the "light" palette. There i also a "light/medium" "medium" and "medium/dark" palette, so there should be one for most skin tones. <br />
<br />
<strong>Price:</strong> £6 or about $9 at <a href="http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/index.php/palettes/protection-palette.html">Makeup Revolutions webpage</a>.<br />
<br />
<strong>Packaging:</strong> Sleek, black plastic palette. It seems sturdy and I'm definately pleased with the quality. Definately travel friendly as well.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj41s_LF451kY_aL9UEFHzUFY8Tz12Y0uqiektJ1dV5-el39yv0HwTwqJwOoWFl-WJoKzyWgtOi85gDbo0vtE159OVABqvu6sYEBlLVZPHvy2N2S3VIvraL3ndCyoc62c19DUH5CqpO7ez_/s1600/Makeup_Revolution_protection_palette.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj41s_LF451kY_aL9UEFHzUFY8Tz12Y0uqiektJ1dV5-el39yv0HwTwqJwOoWFl-WJoKzyWgtOi85gDbo0vtE159OVABqvu6sYEBlLVZPHvy2N2S3VIvraL3ndCyoc62c19DUH5CqpO7ez_/s1600/Makeup_Revolution_protection_palette.JPG" /></a></div>
You get 3 concealers, 1 face powder, 1 matte bronzer, 1 matte blush and 1 highlighting powder. So all you need is a little Foundation and some eye makeup, and maybe a lipstick and you have yourself some travel friendly makeup!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are very pale like me, you will be surprised to find that these concealers are super light. The lightest one is almost too light for me, just almost. The texture is super creamy, almost a little slippery, without feeling too greasy. They blend nicely into the skin, and does not leave me feeling oily. I really enjoy using these concealers, but if you have dry patches under the eyes, you may not enjoy these as much. They do tend to cling to any dryness, accentuating it quite a bit. But if you have normal to oily skin, these are great. I do recommend setting them, so they don't crease too much. They are not full coverage, but a good medium coverage, wich I prefer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The face powder is not bad, but it's nothing ground breaking either. It sets my makeup nicely, it doesn't look too obvious, but it does not controll my oils or anything. But it's nice to have, I sometimes use it to blend my bronzer out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The bronzer is matte, a little on the dark side for me and warm toned. This is definately not the ideal contouring powder, but I have contoured with it and it turned out nice enough to where I would do it Again. But it's definately better used, to warm up your complexion and add a little "faux tan" effect. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The matte blush is a nice neutral everyday pink. It blends easily and the pigmentation is just right. It could have been a little lighter, but that's just the personal opinion of a ghostly pale gal. I think this blush would suit everyone and I like that it's matte. It's easy to work with, and I really like it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The highlighter is a great everyday highlighter. It's not extremely shimery or intense. It's quite subtle, yet gives me just the right amount of sheen without any shimmer or sparkle. Very beautiful pinky "lit from within" type of highlighter. </div>

I'm very very pleased with this palette. I did not expect to like every single product in this kit. And although they are not worthy of Holy grail status, I am pleased with everything. All the products work for me, there is none of the Shades or textures that I can't use, and there is not a bad product in this kit. Ofcourse I have better setting powders, and other favorite concealers. But if I look at this palette as a whole, I definately think it's got a place in my collection, and in my travel purse. </div>

I find myself constantly reaching for this palette, it's just so convenient to have everything in the same place, and I definately recommend this!

Today I'm showing you my latest lipstick obsession, wich is MLBB (My lips but better) shades and mauvey nudes. I'm just obsessed with this type of shade. I can't wear the true nudes or peachy nudes because I'm very pale and cool toned, it just clashes with my coloring (or lack thereof) So I thought I would list all the different lipsticks I have found in this MLBB shade. So now you have a few options to choose from, if you are looking for this type of shade. There should be one for everyone as these are not completely identical, but variations of the same shade. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These have different finishes and formulations, so there should be one for everyone. Gosh sweetheart is very creamy, but not very long lasting, Gerard Buttercup, is a little dryer, but still a creme finish, Essence Glastonberry and Come naturally is somewhere in between the first 2 when it comes to texture. Bourjois Beige trench is also very creamy, although not as creamy as GOSH, and not very long lasting, Nars Anita, is a little drier, yet still creamy and very light weight, I would say it's satin matte. ELF Tea rose is a creamy comfortable matte, and quite long lasting, Gosh forever lip shine goes on creamy and sets to a satin finish that wears really well. NYC Riverside rose is a sheer balmy lippie and the ebay liquid lipstick sets matte and lasts really well. None of these contain shimmer, they are all creamy colors. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm totally obsessed with this type of shade, it just goes with everything and I'm always looking for more lipsticks in this shade. If you have any recommendations for this type of color, please leave them in the comments, so I can check them out.</div>

*<a href="http://www.yves-rocher.dk/control/category/~category_id=1506l?numPerPage=48">Yves Rocher</a> sent this to me, for review purposes. I am not paid to talk about these and all opinions and thoughts about these are my own, honest opinions*</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Coming in at $5,90 a pop, I think these are very reasonably priced. The Gel top coat does cost $8,92 wich is pushing it a bit in my opinion. But $5,90 is very very reasonable. Keep in mind, that prices may vary from country to country, and Denmark tends to be a bit pricey compared to the US for example.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I got these in the mail last saturday and wanted to do a bit of a first impression/review of these. Some of these are really good and some are not as good. But none of them are horrible. So I just wanted to go through the colors that I got, and what I think of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have 2 different Collections: the <a href="http://www.yves-rocher.dk/control/category/~category_id=1506l?numPerPage=48">Botanical color nail polishes</a> and the Gel effect lacquers. Each Collection has their own top coat as well. I've seen on Yves Rocher's website that there are about 40 colors to choose from in the "botanical" line, and about 10 colors in the "Gel effects" line. There's also different base coats and top coats and other nail care products within the line. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now I have to admit, that I'm very picky when it comes to nail polish colors, and I'm probably not going to get a lot of use out of most of these colors, but that's just me. There's definately going to be a shade for everyone. And I see a lot of "on trend" colors in these new Collections.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let me start with the top coats, you don't need both. The glossy top coat, is quite thin but honestly not very glossy, at least not compared to the Gel effects top coat. That one is a lot thicker and gives a more flawless glossy finish to the nails. So I would say, pick the gel effects top coat for sure. But they both last just as well on the nails</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Left: glossy top coat. Right: gel effect top coat</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When it comes to the colors, I found that all the reds, pinks and corals where on the sheer side and definately needed at least 3 coats to look somewhat opaque, but they won't go fully opaque no matter how much you put on, you may like that but I prefer creamy opaque colors any day. I'm not sure if this is the case with all their reds and pinks, I hope not.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The blue, green, yellow and gray Shades were all very opaque, they go on a little darker than they look in the bottle, wich I wasn't all that pleased with. But they are definately opaque and colorful. And I can see a lot of people loving these fun colors. My favorite will definately have to be the light blue color, I can see myself wearing that a lot this summer.</div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have worn all Shades for 3 days now, and for some reason, the grey is chipping way worse than the others. The others looked decent for about a day and a half. Next time I wear them, I will definately be using my essence gel base and top coat with them. I have to say, that I think they take a long time to dry properly. You definately want to apply very thin coats and let them fully dry between applications. I didn't do that at first, and I had to do them all over Again. Most nail polishes chip on me within 24 hours, I have brittle nails and nothing seem to last on me, so these lasted a little above average for me, and I bet that with the right base coat (Essence gel base) they will last me a lot better. I like how opaque most of these are. But I prefer nudes and purples, wich they also have in their collection, I may have to pick up a few of the purples.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you fall in love with a particular color, I say go for it! They are affordable and not bad at all. I'm going to see if I can get a little creative with all these new colors.</div>

I am super excited about this! With this trend edition, Essence is giving us a sneak peak at what's to come in their fall/Winter launch. These are all products that will become permanent with the fall/Winter launch. So if you can't get it in august when this is released, you will be able to get these products later this year. It seems that the "all about" palettes have been revamped, with not only new packaging but more Shades in each palette. I'm super excited to try the liquid lipsticks, they look quite similar to the Maybelline elixirs, and I love those, so fingers crossed these will be as good. Also the new sheer shine lipsticks look amazing, and I can't wait to try those matte blushes. What do you think about this Collection?</div>

I hope you are enjoying lipstick month so far, and don't forget to enter my lipstick <a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/05/lipstick-month-giveaway.html.">giveaway.</a> Today is not about lipstick, it's about a beautiful eyeshadow palette, that I have been really hesitant to review. Not because it's not good. But I knew, that as soon as the review goes live, I will have to start using a new palette in preparation for the next review. And I kinda want to just keep using this one! I'm talking about the <a href="http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/index.php/palettes/i-makeup-chocolate-palette/naked-chocolate.html">I ♡ Makeup Naked Chocolate palette.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Price:</strong> £7,99 or about $12 <a href="http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/index.php/palettes/i-makeup-chocolate-palette/naked-chocolate.html">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Packaging: </strong>Identical to my <a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/01/i-makeup-i-heart-chocolate-palette.html">I Heart chocolate palette</a>, but with off-White/cream colored packaging. It seriously makes me crave white chocolate just looking at it. I really like the look and feel of the palette, but as I have said before, I absolutely dread the plastic inlays. It comes with a good mirror and a decent sponge tip applicator. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ok let me just say it straigh away! I freaking love this palette. Actually, it's the best palette I ♡ Makeup/ Makeup Revolution has ever made. At least of the ones I have tried, and I have tried quite a few. The quality seems to be improved and there is not a single bad shadow in this palette. They are all beautiful colors and I am so pleased with the amount of mattes in this one. They are a dream to work with and I don't want to ever stop using this palette.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am especially obsessed with "smoothly" "divine" "choc-fest" and "milky" I love the mixture of cool toned and warm toned shadows in this palette. It's just a beautiful palette! I don't know if they have improved the formula of these, but they sure feel better than my original I Heart chocolate palette. My original one is great, but the shadows seem to form a crust when you use your fingers with them. These don't seem to do that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEievRM_oFiVYoHYOncpRF5t3bVI_pvRMmPVdWJ2B2sRvn7PG0yFVNIpFmiez79FepvzJGy1xdEqqUTvNNO_u7aoiR1NKCO9YaWggi-ceUiziCsEQzycxEqcdQo2pakJcKWgbqzK8QH8uj8l/s1600/blogger7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEievRM_oFiVYoHYOncpRF5t3bVI_pvRMmPVdWJ2B2sRvn7PG0yFVNIpFmiez79FepvzJGy1xdEqqUTvNNO_u7aoiR1NKCO9YaWggi-ceUiziCsEQzycxEqcdQo2pakJcKWgbqzK8QH8uj8l/s1600/blogger7.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm honestly blown away by this palette, and I have nothing bad to say about it. Staying power is decent, and with a good primer you will have no issues with these shadows. Don't beat me up for saying this, but I actually prefer this to any of my Urban Decay naked palettes. The color selection in this palette just seems like it was made for me. And if I could only keep one neutral palette out of my entire Collection, it would be this one. So I totally recommend it, if you like warm neutrals, and you want a palette that can give you an all matte eye look as well as some pretty metallic looks. I'm sold!</div>

Today is not going to be about lipstick, but if you need your daily lipstick fix, check out my review of the <a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/03/i-makeup-lip-lava-review.html">I ♡ MAKEUP Lip Lavas</a> . Also Don't forget to enter my <a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/05/lipstick-month-giveaway.html">giveaway</a>. Today I want to talk to you about my latest eyeshadow obsessions. It's the Urban Decay Moondust shadow in "Solstice" I bet you have all seen this type of Duochrome before, Wet n Wild had a similar color, in their Color Icon "comfort zone" palette. And Coastal Scents has a similar shadow in their 252 palette. So what makes this one so special? I'll tell you in a bit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Color:</strong> A warm reddish Brown base, with blue and teal duochrome.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Price: </strong>About $20 on <a href="http://www.urbandecay.com/moondust-eyeshadow-by-urban-decay/370.html">Urban Decays website</a>. I got mine from <a href="http://feelunique.com/">Feelunique.com</a> for $22.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Packaging:</strong> I love the packaging on Urban Decays individual eyeshadows, it's just so pretty, and kinda reminds me of a little coin or token. And I like the idea, that these fit into Urban Decays own custom palettes. You get 1,5 grams of eyeshadow.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is the shiniest, sparkliest and prettiest duo chrome eyeshadow I have ever seen! On it's own it can look a little sheer, but worn with a cream shadow base or foiled, it really pops! It's one of those shadows you can wear all over the lid, with no other shadows, and it will still look like you spent a lot of time on your look.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This does have a tiny bit of fallout, but not much considering how sparkly this is, probably because it's very finely milled. If you make sure to put it on top of a good tacky base, you can prevent most of the fallout. This shadow catches the light in the prettiest way and it pairs really well with the naked 3 palette. I have even used it wet as a liner, and although it did fade a little throughout the day, when worn that way, it looked amazing.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I absolutely adore this eyeshadow, and I use it all the time. It's just such a pretty color and it just looks amazing on the eyes. I'm wearing it in the Picture below. It's hard to take a decent Picture of it though, my swatches do not do it Justice. I totally recommend this, if you like duochrome shadows and you are not afraid of a little sparkle. It's amazing!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So today is not going to be about lipstick, but if you need your lipstick fix for the day, go check out my post about my "<a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/04/my-top-10-neutral-lippies.html?spref=tw">top 10 neutral lippies</a>"<br />
<br />
Being really pale, with cool toned blonde hair and invisible eyebrows has made it hard for me to find the perfect brow product. Most brands don't make my color, they all seem to be too dark, too warm or even too green. I just want a pale, cool toned brow please. But it's not easy to come by. So I was a Little hesitant when I decided to purchase this Makeup Revolution Ultra brow palette. Especially because it's called "fair to medium" and I need "ghostly to paper white" hehe. But I descided to give it a shot. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Price: </strong>£7,99 or $11,97 on <a href="http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/index.php/eyes/brow.html"><span style="color: #a64d79;">Makeup Revolutions website</span></a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Packaging:</strong> Very comparable to the other palettes from Makeup Revolution, especially the protection palette. Fortunately it does say " bulletproof" on the front of the palette so I don't have to open it, to see what it is. Mine has a bit of an issue with closing properly, wich I actually think is caused by the brow pen. The problem goes away when I remove the brow pen from the palette. But the closing of the palette is still a little off. That's the first MUR palette of this kind I have had any troubles with though. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are 3 different color options available, "fair to medium", "medium to dark" and "extra dark to Black" I don't really see an option for redheads, and I think their color options could be a little better.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You are getting quite the complete brow kit in this palette. 2 brow pomades, 4 brow powders, 1 highlighting concealer, 1 highlight powder, 1 brow pencil, 2 small brushes and a tweezer. All I really feel is lacking is a spooley brush to comb through the brows, I can't do my brows without one. But ofcourse I already have one, so it's not a major issue, it would have just been nice if it was included in the kit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
None of these shades, are an exact color match for me so I do have to mix and match a little bit, to get the righ shade for my brows. But the shade I end up with, is closer to perfect than any other brow product I have tried. So for me it's worth the extra steps. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I start by lining the brows with the pencil, then I color correct with the pomades. Mixing a tiny bit of the Brown into the blonde shade. Then I set it with the most cool toned powder and sometimes even go over it with the concealer to lighten it up. That seems to work and the result lasts all day without melting off or smearing. I don't find it to be as budge proof as my Benefit Gimme brow, but it still stays on all day without smudging. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm really pleased with this little kit. I have had no issues with the quality of any of these brow products. Even the little tweezer is nice, it's not the best tweezer ever, but it works. I really like the pomades, they are not waxy at all, but they still manage to keep my brows in place. So overall I'm very happy with this brow kit, and I would totally recommend it! You get a lot of different tones to mix and match with, but I do wish, that they would make a more cool toned version of this, as the end result does lean a little warmer, than I would like, but it's still the closest match I have been able to find so far. So yeah definately recommend, that you check this kit out. I know I will get a lot of use out of mine. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Happy lipstick month! If you haven't already entered my lipstick giveaway, make sure to <a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/05/lipstick-month-giveaway.html">check it out here</a>- Let's get on with todays post. Lipstick formulas. I have picked out 6 very different formulas for you today, so there should be some for everyone. Lipstick formulas are very important to me, it determines how the lipstick feels on the lips, longivity and overall texture. I will link to the full reviews, when one is available. But some of these are fairly new to me, and haven't yet been reviewed. Sooo let's get started.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Nars audacious lipstick $32:</strong> This has a very creamy formula, yet it's not creamy to the point where it becomes so emollient that it comes right off. It sorta clings to the lips a bit, yet feels very light weight. Probably one of the most comfortable lipsticks I own. These have no scent to them at all. Making them the perfect lipstick for anyone who hates the feeling of wearing lipstick, and can't stand scents.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2014/12/gosh-velvet-touch-lipstick-review.html">Gosh velvet touch lipsticks $14:</a></strong> these are creamy, emollient and buttery. They are not super long lasting. But they are very comfortable on the lips. They remind me of a very pigmented lip butter. So these are great if you have dry lips. I love these for an everyday lipstick. They have a slight Vanilla scent, but it's very subtle.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>YSL rouge volupte shine $36:</strong> Is a sheer, hydrating yet light weight formula. They are very comfortable to wear and give a subtle shine to the lips. Although they are on the sheer side, the color does show up nicely on the lips. Sheer colorful formulas are more forgiving than opaque colorful formulas. So this is great if you want a pop of color but won't commit to full on bright lips. This has a sophisticated fruity scent, it's not overly sweet, it's more of a fresh fruity scent.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/01/bourjois-rouge-edition-velvet-review.html">Bourjois rouge edition velvet $14:</a></strong> This is a liquid lipstick, that goes on creamy and dries Down semi matte. Yet it manages to not feel drying on my lips. It does not flake off or ball up on my lips. It's one of the most long wearing and comfortable liquid lipsticks I own. It does have a slight plastic scent to it, that goes away once it has dried.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2014/11/favorite-lip-color.html">ELF studio matte lipcolor $3:</a></strong> One of my favorite matte lipstick formulas. It feels almost like wearing a balm. It's not the most matte lipstick of all time, but it's matte enough for me. It doesn't really smell like much, but has a slightly sweet taste to it. Definately a great matte lipstick formula.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>GOSH forever lipshine $13:</strong> This has a super interesting formula. It goes on creamy, like a really creamy lip butter, only more pigmented. Then it start drying down on your lips. It doesn't go matte or completely dry. But it does ensure that the color stays on your lips for hours, all while feeling comfortable and light weight. It's a very interesting formula, and I haven't tried anything quite like it before. It has a strong but pleasant Vanilla scent to it, that I really like. </div>

So that was a look at some of my favorite lipstick formulas, I tried to include both high end and budget friendly products, so there should be something that will fit your budget as well.. I have always been a sucker for creamy, emollient lipsticks. But lately I have been obsessed with anything that dries down and becomes budge proof and kiss proof. I hope you liked this post. What are some of your favorite lipstick formulas? Let me know in the comments section.</div>

<strong>Wet brush: </strong>This is the most expensive hair brush I have ever owned. I normally just buy the 5-10$ ones but this one is $22. But they are very well spent. This is the best hair brush I have ever tried! I have long wavy hair and I often have a hard time brushing it. But this is just amazing, no tangles, no tugging. I use it both on wet or dry hair and it's just amazing. Seriously if you haven't tried it, you are missing out!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/05/stila-field-of-florals-convertible.html">Stila field of florals convertible palette:</a></strong> I have been enjoying this palette so much this month! I've pretty much used it every single day, for either cheeks or lips, or both. It lasts so well on the cheeks and still manages to work really well on the lips. Amazing palette!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/search?q=makeup+revolution+liner">MUR Hypocrisy and lip liners:</a></strong> I'm not too fond of using the Hypocrisy liners on the eyes, but on the lips, they are awesome. I have pretty much been rocking these liners, ever since<em> </em>I got them. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/05/essence-longlasting-lipstick-updated.html">Essence long lasting lipsticks in glastonberry and come naturally:</a> </strong>My favorite lipstick shades at the moment. They go well with any lip liner and I just love these cool toned greige lippies!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/06/urban-decay-moondust-shadow-solstice.html">Urban Decay moondust shadow in solstice:</a> </strong>This has the most amazing duochrome finish. It's sparkly and pretty. It's one of those shadows, that are so multi-dimensional, that you can get away with just using that one shadow, and it will look like you spent ages on your eye look.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/05/essence-gel-nail-polish-base-and-top.html">Essence the gel base and top coat:</a> </strong>The best base ond top coat I have tried! It makes my nail polish last for about a week. After a week or so, it will start looking a little worn. But it's the best results I have ever had with any base and top coat. Although these are called "gel" polishes, they do not need to be cured with a lamp.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/05/essence-gel-nail-polish-base-and-top.html">Essence love & sound, glastonberry nail polish:</a> </strong>This is purely because of the color! I want this color in everything! blush, eyeshadow, lipstick... everything please! I just can't get enough of this color. And I've worn it for at least 2 weeks this month. And I'm not tired of it yet.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Dyna: </strong>I have pretty much watched her since she started her youtube journey. She uploads regularly and her channel is all about drugstore beauty and affordable makeup. This girl has the most awesome and charming personality! You have to watch her to understand what I mean. I consider her a friend, even though I have never met her and she takes a lot of time and effort, to comment back. Plus she is all about loving yourself and eachother, her channel is a bully-free zone! I just love this girl so much!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Hollie (Hollie eats lipstick):</strong> This beautiful girl is more laid-back and chill. She has such a cool personality and she uploads regularly. I love to watch her videos, because she talks about all the makeup products that I'm interested in mysel. She does lip balm hauls every now and then, and as a lip balm addict, I can't stop watching. She is such a Classic beauty and I just instantly felt "at home" on her channel. Plus she has really pale skin, like me, so I know if she can wear something, I can too.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>Tati (Glamlife guru)</strong> I have been watching her videos for years. I think it was her videos about Physicians formula that got me hooked. She talks about drugstore and high end makeup. She uploads regularly and she is just a joy to watch. I especially like watching her "hot or not" videos. And seriously, look at her! she is stunning!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<strong>Emily (beauty broadcast):</strong> Emily was probably one of the first youtubers I ever watched. She is very articulate and easy to listen to. I love her sense of humor and I have been watching her so much, that I feel like I know her. Whenever she mentions her ELF small stipple brush (if you follow her you will know what I mean) I can't help but laugh a Little. She uploads frequently, although not as much as she used to, she has a litlle baby girl, so it's very understandable. Yet another honest youtuber with similar opinions (on products at least) to me. And come on! look at those amazing eyes! She is such a stunner.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<strong>Dani (coffee break with Dani):</strong> A more recent obsession of mine. Dani has a bubbly personality and she has the ability to make you feel, like she is talking directly to you. Like 2 girlfriends just chatting about makeup. And I find myself answering her and talking back to the screen hehe. I love her positivity and her energy. She talks about drugstore as well as high end. She uploads regularly, even though she has a toddler and a newborn. You go girl!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Melissa (Melissa Autrey):</strong> Now this is one sassy lady! I love her Southern charm and her bubbly personality. She talks about drugstore and high end and is not afraid to give you her 2 scents. I especially like her "Friday favorites and a possible poo" posts and I have recently just started following her on her lifestyle channel. She is just an amazing lady with an amazing story. She uploads regularly on both channels. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love Essence products. So I don't even know, why I haven't bought any of their little palettes sooner. Well I went a little cray cray, and bought almost all of the small essence palettes on <a href="http://kosmetik4less.de/">Kosmetik4less.de</a>. I have already reviewed the <strong><span style="color: #a64d79;">"</span></strong><a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/05/essence-like-first-day-in-spring-gift.html"><strong><span style="color: #a64d79;">all about spring</span></strong></a><strong><span style="color: #a64d79;">"</span></strong> palette that came in a limited edition gift set. And now it's time to review this "all about nude" palette. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Price:</strong> £3,45 or about $3,77 at <a href="http://www.kosmetik4less.de/de/essence-lidschatten-palette-all-about-01-nude.html">Kosmetik4less</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Packaging: </strong>I love it! the clear plastic packaging looks really nice, and it feels really sturdy. You get a lot of eyeshadow, and there is no waisted Space, no applicators either! You do not get a mirror either, but seriously, how many products with mirrors do you need? you probably have enough of those anyways. You get 8,5 grams of shadow divided between 6 shadows.</div>

<br />
I have mixed feelings about this particular palette. I know it's a nude eyeshadow palette, but I would have liked a little more pigmentation, plus I feel like some of the Shades are too similar to be able to differentiate between them once applied. These are not horrible by any Means, and I did find them to get better as I dug around in them a little. They are nice and smooth and easy to blend. But they aren't very vibrant or dimensional in finish. I did come up with about 2-3 different looks that I liked, and I will definately be getting some use out of this little palette. But it's not my favorite and I probably won't be reaching for it on a daily basis. </div>

When it comes to staying power, I always always wear a primer, and I did find them to fade a bit throughout the day, as my lids tend to get a little oily. With a waterproof shadow base, this should not be an issue, and it really depends on how oily your lids are. But I would say staying power is about average. If you really like these type of colors, I say go for it! you definately get quite the bang for your buck, but after swatching all the different "all about" palettes, I can say that this is one of the weaker ones. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It seems that Makeup Revolution always have a new palette launching. And honestly, I was getting a Little bored with all the neutral palettes so when I saw this colorful palette, I knew I had to have it. I have been playing around with it for a while now, and tried to do a look for each color scheme in the palette, just to get a feel for it. So here we go.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Price: </strong>£8 or about $11,99 on <a href="http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/index.php/ultra-32-shade-eyeshadow-palette-mermaids-forever.html"><span style="color: #a64d79;"><strong>Makeup Revolutions website</strong></span></a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Packaging:</strong> Just like all the other 32 shade palettes from MUR, sturdy, good quality with a great big mirror. I still get annoyed by the plastic inlay with the names on it. If I did not blog, it would have been tossed as soon as I first opened the palette. </div>

Compared to the other 32 palettes I have (<a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/01/makeup-revolution-ultra-eyeshadow.html"><strong><span style="color: #a64d79;">Flawless</span></strong></a>, <a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/04/makeup-revolution-ultra-flawless-matte.html"><strong><span style="color: #a64d79;">flawless matte</span></strong></a>) this is not as great - quality wise. The colors are pretty, but some of them don't perform very well. The highlight Shades are not very good and the purples are really not very pigmented, even some of the blues are not up to the regular MUR standard. It seems that there is too much binder in the shadows, wich make them quite hard to swatch and to pick up with my brushes, it may just be my palette though, as I have seen some beautiful swatches in other bloggers reviews.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I do really like the peachy/orange row, the pinky/rusty row, the greens and the Browns and even the last row with the dark Shades. So it's pretty much just the highlights, the purples and the blues that do not perform very well. But I also feel that this palette needs some mattes. I don't wear straight up metallic or pearly eyeshadows all over the lid, I like to mix it up with some mattes. And while I do have the "flawless matte" palette, It would have been nice to see some colorful mattes.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although I feel, that some of these Shades don't perform very well, I still really like the palette. It definately inspires me, to go out of my comfort zone, and try new eyeshadow looks. But it's definately more of an addition to your Collection, than a complete palette, as I would still need some mattes and a decent highlight shade to work with this palette.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You definately want to use a primer, or even a shadow base with these, to ensure that they stay vibrant for as long as possible. This has nothing to do with the MUR quality, I just find that vibrant colorful Shades, tend to fade more noticably than your neutrals. Especially reds.</div>

So even though I had some negative Things to say, I really do still like this palette, and I have really enjoyed some of the looks I have done with it. I just want to be honest, and tell you about what I like and dislike, so you can make up your own mind about it. I do not regret buying it, and I will get a lot of use out of it, I really realy have been enjoying it, but I would enjoy it even more, if those purples and those highlight Shades werent pressed so hard in the pan, that nothing shows up on the brush. </div>

My favorite row, has to be the corals and oranges and the rusty reds and pinks. I used colors from those 2 rows to create the look above. I got away with this look without needing to add eyeshadows from other palettes. But in the look below, I did have to add highlights and a matte crease color + somme gold, to add contrast. But those bright green shadows are banging! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

So what do you think of this palette? have you tried it? will you be picking it up? what's your favorite colorful eyeshadow colors? let me know in the comments section. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
*I was sent this by Lancome as I was a part of a test panel in Denmark, they do not know about my blog. And I am not required to talk about it, but I thought I might as well review it, now that I have tried it out for 5 weeks.*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have been on the lookout for a good serum to try, for the longest time. It's a a product I want to add to my daily skincare routine, but I didn't get around to doing so, until I was sent this to try out. It's been 5 weeks and I have finally reported back to Lancome and I thought that I would share my thoughts on this with you.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First off, it's expensive! I know that there are more expensive serums out there, but for me, this is a Little more than I'm comfortable with spending. Unless ofcourse I know it will Work Wonders for me. I believe it's about $78 for 1 ounce/30 ml. Wich will probably get you through close to 2 months if you use it morning, and night.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I do have to say that the packaging is amazing. I love how it looks and I love how it feels. You dispense the product, using the Little eye dropper, wich automatically fills up when you open and close it. So you only have to push the top of the lid to get the product out. I do Wonder how much product will be left in the bottom, that I won't be able to reach with the dropper? I haven't gotten there yet though.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ok, on to the important part... Did this acutally Work? Yes it did. I started noticing smoother skin after just a few days of use and my pores seemed to have decreased in size. But after about 2 weeks the effects pretty much stopped. Not that my skin went back to normal, it just did not get any better after 2 weeks. I did find that I had a lot less breakouts in the time that I used this, and that is probably what this has done best for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Was the effects big enough for me to repurchase? no. Considering the price, and the fact that I use this up really quick, I think I'm better off, finding another serum, perhaps something with more active ingredients. I don't have the ingredients list of this anymore, but it didn't seem to really contain anything groundbreakingly awesome. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If this was drugstore priced, I would definately run out and buy it Again, but I just can't spend this kind of Money every other month on one product. So I'm sorry Lancome, we just wasn't meant to be.</div>

I have previously given the Maybelline a lukewarm review, (<a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2014/04/maybelline-nany-lips-review.html"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">check it out here</span></a>) I thought they were allright, but nothing special. I also did a follow up, wich was a little more to the negative side. So why I had to get one of the new Crystal ones, is beyond me. But honestly... I'm glad I did.... Yup I kinda like it!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It smells like smarties (not the chocolate candy, the sugary one) or candy necklaces. And I really like that! It doesn't have a whole lot of color to it, but it looks nice on the lips, and it feels good as well.</div>

Because I liked this so much, I decided to dig out my old Baby lips, and apparently my taste in lippies have changed, because I actually really enjoy them now. It's not that I thought they were horrible before, I just didn't understand why they were so popular, and I still think there are better balms out there. But I really enjoy using these at the moment. My lips are not very dry at the moment, so that may be one of the reasons why, these are good enough for everyday hydration for me.</div>

The crystal baby lips, do contain shimmer, but it's not obnoxious or gritty at all. It's quite subtle and you can hardly feel it on the lips. Once the balm has worn off, you will be left with some noticable shimmer, but it's not hard to remove with a wipe, so it's not really a problem for me. I actually really like the way it looks on my lips. And I definately want to get one more color option, but I don't think you need all of them, as some of them looks quite similar once they are Applied.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I thought it would be fun to share my GOSH cosmetics Collection with you, and maybe give you a few reccomendations along the way. Now before you judge my huge Collection.... I actually won a lot of the products in a GOSH competition last year, I did buy the palette, the mineral Foundation, the nail polishes, the lash serum, one of the eyeshadows pens and some of the lip products myself. I also have some skincare, bodycare and hair care products, but I'm focusing on the makeup products in this post. If I have reviewed the product I mention, I will have it linked to the review so you can go read it if you want to.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are wondering what GOSH is, it's a Danish drugstore brand. It's sold in many countries, including UK and US. To us Danes, this is the same price range as L'Oreal and Maybelline, to the Americans it will be slightly more expensive than other drugstore products. This is because US drugstore brands in Denmark are slightly more expensive than they are in the US. Denmark does not allow animal testing, or the use of ingredients that has been tested on animals, and GOSH makes their products in Denmark, not in a factory in China like some brands do. So that's another plus.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So as you can see I have a lot of GOSH products, I have only tried a few products that I really did not like at all, the click n conceal and their <a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2014/11/gosh-bb-skin-perfecting-kit-review.html"><span style="color: #a64d79;"><strong>BB concealer kit</strong></span></a>, I gave away the concealer kit and I'm still trying to make the click n conceal work for me. I'm also not that into their eyeshadow formula, although I really like their <a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2014/12/gosh-9-shade-palette-review.html"><strong><span style="color: #a64d79;">9 shade palettes</span></strong></a>, GOSH eyeshadows just have a different formula from what I'm used to. I'm also a Little indifferent to their regular lip gloss line, they are not bad, just a little boring.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Here are my favorite GOSH products</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What GOSH does really well, is lipsticks, Foundations, powders, nail polishes and cheek products. I love their <a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2014/12/gosh-velvet-touch-lipstick-review.html"><strong><span style="color: #a64d79;">Velvet touch lipsticks </span></strong></a>, Their <a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2014/10/gosh-bb-cream-review.html"><strong><span style="color: #a64d79;">BB</span></strong></a> and CC creams, their <a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2014/10/follow-up-gosh-x-ceptional-wear.html"><strong><span style="color: #a64d79;">X-ceptional Wear Foundation</span></strong></a>, their <a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2014/11/gosh-bb-powder-review.html"><strong><span style="color: #a64d79;">BB powder</span></strong></a><strong><span style="color: #a64d79;">,</span></strong> the <a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/03/gosh-mineral-powder-review.html"><strong><span style="color: #a64d79;">Mineral Foundation</span></strong></a>, the <a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2014/12/gosh-multicolour-blush-review.html"><strong><span style="color: #a64d79;">blush quad</span></strong></a>, the <a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/01/gosh-bronzing-shimmer-powder-review.html"><strong><span style="color: #a64d79;">bronzer</span></strong></a>, the <a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2015/04/my-top-10-neutral-lippies.html"><strong><span style="color: #a64d79;">forever lipshine pen</span></strong></a><strong><span style="color: #a64d79;">,</span></strong> the <a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2014/12/gosh-9-shade-palette-review.html"><strong><span style="color: #a64d79;">9 shade palette</span></strong></a> and their <a href="http://loevensmakeuprambles.blogspot.dk/2014/09/gosh-lip-lacquer-review.html"><strong><span style="color: #a64d79;">lip lacquers</span></strong></a>. These are all great quality products that I enjoy using regularly. I can also really recommend their liquid liners, I have a new one, that I still need to review. But I have tried them before and they are super long wearing and do not smudge. They also have waterproof eyeliner pencils, that are smooth and sets to a budge proof long wearing finish, I used to use them a lot back when I wore Black on my waterline daily. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Considering how many Things I have tried from the brand, I have to say that they are quite consistent in quality. Out of the more than 30 different products (not counting multiple Shades of the same product) I have tried throughout my makeup-wearing life, I can honestly say that I maybe did not like 3-4 of them, and that their eyeshadows are not my favorite formula, but the quality is still on point. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also I have to talk about their packaging. I think they make amazing quality packaging. It looks high end and it feels high end. Their packaging design is very consistent throughout their entire range and they frequently update it, so it never looks dated. Their formulas are on point, and I have simply not come across a product that lacked pigmentation or a color that did not perform as well as the other colors in the same range. So that is pretty impressive to me. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How GOSH keeps their prices at drugstore level and still churn out so many high quality products, is beyond me. I mean, their products are even made in Denmark, and not China like a lot of brands are, to save on costs. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you can probably tell, I really really like GOSH, I'm not sponsored by them, they probably have no idea who I am, although I wouldn't mind being sponsored by them hehe. I totally recommend that you check out my favorites, and go read the reviews. And let me know in the comments, what GOSH products you have tried, what you liked, and what you disliked.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wasn't originally going to review this palette. As I thought this was still a limited edition palette. Turns out it's available on <a href="http://www.stilacosmetics.com/product/field+of+florals+convertible+color+dual+lip+%26+cheek+palette.do?sortby=ourPicks"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Stila's website</span></a>, so I guess it's not limited edition afterall. After that quick realization, I thought that this palette definately need a review! If you are not familiar with Stila's converrtible lip and cheek colors, let me tell you. They are amazing Little pots of Dewey, creamy goodness. They are also $25 each!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This palette is "only" $49 and you get 12 grams of product, compared to the 4,5 grams you get in one regular convertible pot. So the palette is definately a great deal. The packaging is pretty cool too. It's very sturdy, and I could easily throw it in my purse for touch ups, it's not too big and bulky, it has a great big mirror and a good magnetic closure. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
You get 12 different colors, where 8 of them are from their permanent line and the last 4 are exclusive to this palette. So if you were to fall in love with one of the permanent Shades, you could just go buy the full size. So this is a great way to try out some different colors from the range. And believe me, they are going to last you a long time even though they are less than 1/4 of a full convertible color each</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm sooo pleased with this palette. I originally just bought it, to use on the lips, and it really does perform well on the lips. But they are amazing on the cheeks. They stay on all day and some of the Shades leave a Little bit of a stain behind. I love that you get some very neutral/natural options, some pinks, a coral, a peach, some deeper Shades and an amazing bright fuschia. The lighter colors, seem more opaque and the darker brighter colors are more sheer, wich makes it more wearable on the cheeks. You definately don't need to worry about pigmentation with these, they are very buildable.</div>

I use a stipple brush to apply these to my cheeks, and my finger or a lip brush to apply them to my lips. I really recommend these, and I have nothing bad to say about them at all. If you are a lip or cheek makeup junkie, you will love this versatile bad boy of a palette!<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I couldn't help myself. When I saw Makeup Revolution had launched lipliners and some new eye-and-lip liners I knew I had to get them all. There are also some regular eyeliners in the line, that I did not get, except from a basic brown. But I got all the lip liners and all the Hypocrisy liners as well. I believe that these are £1 a piece, but I bought them in the bundle packs on Makeup revolutions <a href="http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/index.php/eyes/eyeliner.html"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">website</span></a> wich saved me about £3. So I only payed about £10 for all these liners STEAL! Now my intention is to use all of them as lip liners, I will be testing the Hypocrisy liners out as eyeliners as well, but I bought them to use on the lips. </div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Swatches L-R: Depraved, Crime, Vice, Baddest blue, Tipx.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I can already tell, that I am not a fan of these, as eye-liners. I prefer to use them as lip-liners. I am wearing Baddest blue on my lips right now. And if you are not afraid of a Little color, you will love this. You can get away with using these on the waterline though, but they are not super pigmented or long lasting in the waterline. As lipliners, they have full on color and last quite well. I could have used a Black liner with this formulation though, I've been hooked on Black lips lately and I tohught it would have been an obvious color to have in this collection, as these are both eye-liners and lip-liners in one. </div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Swatches L-R: Vamp,rebel, cherry red, bold pink, soft pink, baby pink, the one, nearly naked.</span></div>
I have only played around with 3 of the colors as of now, and I can say that they are nice and pigmented. They are not overly creamy, but they are not extremely dry either. I would have preferred a Little more creaminess but for £1 each they are perfect! You can use them alone or paired with a lipstick, either way they last really well on the lips. In the Picture below I paired Rebel with the one and added a nude lipstick on top. I really like how it turned out. I feel that the Collection is missing a true red liner and maybe a mauve as well, but I hope Makeup Revolution come out with more shades some time in the future.<br />

So that's my first impression of these new liners from Makeup Revolution. Overall I like them, and I feel like I got what I expected from a £1 liner. I probably won't use them on my eyes but as lip liners they are all FAB! So definately check both these Collections out if you are looking for a new lip color.</div>

I purchased some Makeup Revolution goodies last week, and I was so excited when I got them this morning. I got a lot of new goodies, like the Hypocrisy liners and the lip liners, the Mermaid forever palette, Ultra brow palette, protection palette, naked chocolate palette and a few othe things. I can't wait to try everything out. I am actually already putting the liners to the test, and have spent several hours photographing and swatching. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I knew I wanted to try the Essence lip candies, as soon as I saw they were being released for spring/summer 2015. I own one of the nail candies, nail polishes and love the scent and sheer wash of pastelle color. So I wanted to see how the lip candies would compare. I behaved myself and just got 1 to start with, although I really wanted to buy them all. I believe there is 6 colors in this Collection, I got "candy crush"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Price:</strong> €1,95 or about $2,20</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Packaging:</strong> I really really like the white and clear plastic packaging. I think it looks really cute and makes it easy to see the actual color of the product, wich is especially good, if you have more than one. Quality wise, I think the doe foot applicator is great. I have had no issues with Wear and tear and I think this looks and feels better than I thought it would, considering the price. You get 4ml of product.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I really like this gloss! It's marketed as a "caring gloss" with aloe vera, and I normally can't use aloe products, but this one has not bothered me at all. I would say it does feel a lot like a liquid balm, it's very hydrating and balmy. It's slightly sticky, but not thick or goopy. When I say it's a little sticky I mean that it's not one of those oily/watery formulas that will come off as soon as you take a sip of coffee, it's not going to make you lips stick together of give you that unattractive gloopy string of gloss when you open and close your lips. So I would say it's very comfortable.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This does have a bit of a sweet fruity/raspberry scent to it, but not as strong as I thought. So It's not crazy offensive. The scent reminds me of some of the other Essence glosses, so if you like the XXXL gloss scent, you will like this. I'm very happy to say, that this gloss does not taste of perfume, yay! </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love how this gloss applies, even though it's a milky pastel color, it does not apply streaky and it does not accentuate my lip lines. And this nude shade has the right amount of sheerness, to just tone Down my natural lip color without making me look like a ghost. I believe these are all somewhat sheer, but you still get the milky/pastel color on your lips.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I really like these lip candies and I definately want to try some of the other colors. I think this is a great balmy gloss, with just the right amount of pigmentation for me. Definately a great bargain buy. Have you tried these lip candies? what do you think of them? or would you be interested in trying these?</div>
