U N B O X I N G!

Hello Ladies :)

HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY!!!!

This post should have been up already last weekend but something went wrong, thank you Blogger for being a pain in the ass again.

I showed you already on my Instagram (@Irsada_lxbg) some days ago everything that was in the box I received from a dear friend from the USA and now I'll give you a closer look on everything. Just look at this package. It was HUGE and I still can't believe that my friend Kelly put all of this stuff in their. It really felt like birthday and Christmas on the same day. No, wait like 3x birthdays and Christmas! Lucky me for having such a great friend ^^

 

Just look at this! OMG It's not just a lot, it's a LOT! It also was kind of difficult to take a picture of everything together.

LORAC Eye Candy full face collection

 

They look like mini chocolate bars, very cute and great idea. The packaging is just beyond amazing. And when you open the box it smells AMAZING.

 

There are 6 little palettes, 4 eyeshadow palettes, 1 cream eye liner palette and 1 cheek & lip tint palette:

Ooh la la vanilla - nude eye shadow palette

Tantalizing cocoa - bronze eye shadow palette

Caramel love affair - golden eye shadow palette

Blackberry truffle seduction - smokey eye shadow palette

Mesmerizing dark chocolate - cream eye liner palette

Indulge in berry kisses - cheek & lip tint palette

 

While swatching them on the back of my hand, I noticed that there are 2-3 that almost don't show up, 2-3 that are intensily pigmented and the rest is quite ok.

TOO FACED Pretty Rebel

 

"Badass beauty eye shadow palette

Even pretty girls can break the rules. Be as rebel as you want to be with 10 powerful after-hours approved (and all new) shadows in the deepest jewel tones, the most vadass metallics and one scene-stealing pink" 

That's exactly what I thought when I opened it. all eyeshadows have a great pigmentation, I can't decide which color I love the most, they are all quite stunning. Girly, Jailbird, Miss Sparkles take my breath away... and I only swatched them once. This is such a great palette. And the name of it says it already, BADASS approved!!! 

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS Tamanna palette

:D yeahhhhh another Anastasia eye shadow palette I can call my own.

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS Maya Mia palette

 

And this baby is very welcome too. I love how my ABH collection is getting bigger and bigger. 

LORAC The Stylist

First impression, neutral colors. 

"Lorac introduces The Stylist palette, featuring a gorgeous, velvety-smooth array of 10 eye shadows plus 2 extra-large hightlighter shades. Satisfy your inner fashionista and savvy sensibility with this trendy houndstooth palette, perfect for everyday wear at an incredible value. Become your own beauty stylist with Lorac!"

SIGMA Créme de Couture

Macaron-inspired eye shadows and 3 of their blushes; blackberry essence, cherry apple & strawberry ambrosia

I think when it comes to color, there's never been a palette like this one! Ohh my... let me see what I can do with it. I swatched 3-4, they all seem to perform matte.

STILA smudge stick waterproof eye liner set

Smudge stick waterproof eye liner set/collection baguette maculage eye-liner indélébile in the colors stingray, lionfish, aubergine, navy, emerald.

TOO FACED Bonjour Soleil

"Limited edition summer bronzing wardrobe

Say bonjour to a gorgeous, golden tan with this collection of bronzing best-sellers including the matte, cocoa-powder infused cocolate soleil, the original too faced bronzer sun bunny and the luminous bronzer snow bunny."

This palette came at the right time. Spring started and summer is only around the corner :)

URBAN DECAY Face Case

Perfect for travelling or for a touch up on the run! 5 eyeshadows with UD quality, 2 blushes, 1 highlighter, 1 black eye pencil & 1 high gloss lip pencil.

Interesting, let's see...

URBAN DECAY Vice 2

 

This was already on my wishlist over a year ago but my friend told me the whole time not to buy it cuz she already did that, I just had to wait a bit more so that she could add a few more things to the box. :)

Picture turned out a bit blurry :( Sorry!

TOO FACED Chocolate Bar palette

 

And this is also one of the palettes that I couldn't wait to get my fingers on. Smells like a dream come true. Colors, never seen such colors before. Just stunning. STUNNING.

"Indulge your craving for chocolate with these 16 antioxidant-rich cocoa powder infused matte and shimmer shades, inspired by our best-selling cocoa powder based Chocolate Soleit Bronzer."

UD 24/7 glide-on double-ended eye pencil, SUGARPILL loose eyeshadow in "LUMI", THE BALM Mary-Lou manizer highlighter & NARS single eyeshadow in Persia

 

The Balm highlighter and the UD eye pencil were a surprise but the Lumi and Persia eyeshadows were a personal request of mine because I can't get them here at all and I've seen really great Youtube videos in which they were used.

Tried both already once out, they truely are great but I need to find out with wich other colors they work the best and then I'll let you know to which conclusion I came ;)

BTW I also got an Essie polish I always wanted but they never sold it here I guess... forgot to put it with the other stuff lol It's called Toggle to the top.

AND SOME MORE CHOCOLATE... REAL CHOCOLATE!

 

I'd never say no to chocolate! Chocolate is always a good idea and you can't do anything wrong when you gift it to someone.

Then I also got a cute chain with a cat pendatif on it and a rose gold handcuffs chain that looks pretty cool on.

WHAT A PACKAGE!!! I think I spend one hour or more unboxing, trying and swatching everything :D

I'm so happy over everything and I would have been as happy if I only got half of the stuff but of course I wouldn't miss a thing now that I have all this amazing stuff. It really left me spechless at the end and there are so many new eyeshadows to test but I only have 2 eyes xD hahaaaaa

It's going to be hard to beat this box! I hope this year will bring lots of new stuff on the market that I can send to my dear friend in exchange.

Next post coming in 2 days, pictures have been already taken! Stay tunned for more.

Have a nice week and enjoy the lovely weather ;)

LORAC PRO palette + swatches!

Hiiiii everyone,

First of all, excuse me if you were expecting a post the last 2 weeks. Funny story! The day I was planning on writing a new post (actually this one) the charger of my macbook died and it took me one week until I got my new one delievered and then I didn't find any time the last 3-4 days on doing this post but today I'm pretty motivated and I took some time to finally get this done ^^

I wanted to show you my LORAC PRO eyeshadow palette and swatched it for you guys ;)

My wonderful friend Kelly send me this amazing palette from the USA, unfortunately the mirror was smashed when I opened the box but luckily all the colors were save.

LORAC PRO PALETTE:

The Lorac Pro palette has 16, yes SIXTEEN eyeshadows! Half of the shades (upper line) are matte and the other half  (lower line) are shimmery. It comes with a little Behind the Scenes Eye Primer tube. The eyeshadows have a very nice pigmentation and you can wear them wet or dry. The palette has soft and smooth textures, and the colors are quite neutral. ($42.00 for 16 x 0.02 oz.; 1 x 0.19 oz.) 

Descriebed by Lorac: "Go PRO with the LORAC PRO Palette! Created by celebrity makeup artist Carol Shaw, this PRO artistry palette is packed with 8 Shimmer and 8 Matte Eye Shadows in all the shades you need to create the hottest looks straight from the Red Carpet. LORAC’S velvety-smooth shadows are infused with soothing botanicals and are ultra-pigmented to perform wet or dry so you can shade, shadow, line and define your eyes, just like a PRO."

SWATCHES:

 

White (= crisp, powdery texture, great as highlighter)

Cream (= pale beige)

Taupe (= warm toned, medium dark brown)

Light Pink (= well light pink lol, powder texture)

Mauve (= pink-plum, a bit powdery)

Sable (= dark taupe)

Espresso (= very dark brown)

Black (= medium dark black)

Nude (= shimmery pale beige, close to Champage)

Champagne (= rose tinted, close to Nude)

Gold (= rich metallic medium dark copper, not exactly gold)

Light Bronze (= warm toned peach)

Pewter (= medium dark shimmery brown)

Garnet (= redish-brown copper)

Deep Purple (= blackened warm purple)

Slate (= charcoal gray with flecks of teal micro-shimmer)

My favorite colors from this palette are Taupe, Light Pink, Mauve, Espresso, Champagne, Gold, Light Bronze, Garnet and Deep Purple. LOL I know that are half the colors but I would have also got it if it only contained those 8 ^^

The price is very raisonable for the 16 eyeshadows you get. I would say they are as equal as my Urban Decay shades. The case is so easy to carry and you can do almost any look you want. 8 shimmers and 8 Mattes is such a great idea. This is a great palette for the price and I am excited to try more looks and do some posts for you ;)

IF YOU CAN GET IT, GET IT!!!

Nice to be back in the blogger world

NEW IN: Gifts!

Hi guys,

In my today's post I'm showing you what my dear friend and sister Kelly sent me from the USA ^^

And no, it's not my birthday and neither Christmas yet. We just send us packages with cool and pretty stuff :D Actually I got all that stuff last Tuesday but wasn't able to write a post yet.

I got this cute little black ring with a pink stone.

The LORAC PRO palette (which I've been dreaming of for months)

 

The LORAC GLOW GETTER palette, which looks perfect for the summer. I actually could have created my last inpired celebrity look (Demi Lovato) with this palette. Scroll down to see the post, it's the the one before this post.

The Urban Decay Ammo palette. It has a few colors that I wanted to buy for a very long time as single eyeshadows, like SIN, SMOG, MAUI WOWIE :)

The Urban Decay supercurl curling mascara and the all nighter long lasting makeup setting spray. These two are the only one that I could also buy here and I was thinking about buying the all nighter but for some reason I didn't do it (don't know why) and now I have both. :)

The Maybelline eyeshadow quad in Olive Martini

2 Maybelline color tattoos in the colors #35 Cool Crush and #40 Seashore Frosts

A NYX blush in the color MOCCA

And last but not least the spotlight falls an this wonderful Essie polish in the color "DJ play that song" and which I love a lot.

So I wanted to thank Kelly A LOT for these amazing products that I can't get here (except 2) and I'm also buying stuff for her as well at the moment ;)

I'll keep you updated for new stuff coming in! And I'll try to post some swatches soon. Sorry that I wasn't able to write much last week, it was pretty stressful and I need to start studying soon since my last exams are next month.

Read you soon!

Much love,

Irsada

P.S.: Since a few days I got my internet connection fixed and now it's working perfectly ;)
