NARS I Want You Lipgloss Set

hello ladies!!

today ill be sharing my thoughts about the
NARS I Want You Lipgloss Set




i bought it in sephora for $45, it may sound expensive
but for me its a good buy cause it has 5 mini glosses that are not so mini at all :) LOL
and all of the colors are pretty!!

let's start with the size
 here's a picture to compare it with a mac lipglass


mac lipglass is 0.17oz while the nars mini gloss is 0.14oz
so its pretty close :)



the shades are turkish delight, dolce vita,
striptease, greek holiday, and orgasm


i love that the glosses have superb lasting power
but i think its quite sticky too. not as sticky as mac glosses but its still sticky
and it has a vintage lipstick-y scent LOL *but i don't mind the scent* :)

here's a closer look for each shade

orgasm is a  peachy pink shade with gold shimmers


this shade is pretty with my NC42 skin
but i think it has too much shimmers



striptease is a pearlized beige sheen shade




its a creamy pale beige shade, pretty nude gloss
but i think i can't pull this off alone LOL. i think i would 
use this as a topping for a lipstick 


greek holiday is a sparkling pink sand shade


this is a nice shimmery nude shade, it adds a nice pop on my lips :)
the shimmers are subtle by the way. this would be great for night outs :)


turkish delight is a pink sorbet shade


its a milky pale pink color for me
like striptease, i dont think i can wear this alone.
but its really a nice topping for pink lippies :)


dolce vita is a dusty rose shade


now this one is my favorite!
it has a full pigment pay off
its a rose-mauve shade with no shimmers :)
its love! heehee




here's a picture of my lips with dolce vita




and a picture of my lips with mac chatterbox topped with turkish delight





there goes my thoughts for this set :)
i know that these glosses will be very useful for different looks!!

and wow its December already!!

December is my favorite month of the year cause its my birthday month and
the holiday spirit makes me very happy!
i hope this December will be fantabolous for all of us :)

Nyx Round Lipstick in B52

hello!

today i'll share my thoughts about
Nyx Roundlipstick in B52



well i actually bought 2 nyx lippies, but the other shade circe does not suit me at all
*sniff* i just posted it for swap so that maybe it could find a new home :)


back to B52,
its a nice dark rose-mauvey shade
very pigmented, its almost matte but also satin-y. :p
it smoothly glides on my lips :)




its creamy but for me that's a bit of a con cause i easily
overdo the application :( oh well i just need more practice on applying this heehee
and also the staying power is quite low.



even with the cons, i still like this lippy because the color is nice
plus its very affordable too! :)


 here's a swatch on my wrist




and swatches on my lips






that's it! heehee
i would love to try more shades from nyx :)

have a nice start of December pretty!!

NARS Blush in Amour is Love :)

hello!!

today ill share my thoughts about
NARS blush in Amour



Amour is a peachy pink shade

i think this is like orgasm without shimmer?? 
because the description of orgasm if peachy pink with shimmer heehee
*im not sure because i don't have the orgasm blush 
and i haven't tried it yet*





I LOVE LOVE THIS BLUSH!!!
heehee i love the shade of amour
its very subtle yet it gives me a healthy flush
it stays true to its description of peachy pink :)




this blush is also matte like dolce vita,
i love it even without the shimmer heehee
and because its matte, it gives a more natural glow
and it makes me look happy! :)

i would love to use this everyday LOL


here's a closer look on the pan







a swatch on my wrist





swatch on my cheeks






im really in love with amour heehee
im glad i got this blush :)
i think its HG material!!



have a nice week end ladies!!

NARS Blush in Dolce Vita

hello pretty!! :)

today ill share my thoughts about 
NARS blush in Dolce Vita



dolce vita is a dusty rose shade,
its a matte blush so no pretty shimmers this time heehee



AFAIK i don't own any matte blush, thats why im really excited
to try some matte blushes 
*the other NARS blush that im gonna review next is also matte :)*



*the pan have scratches cause i accidentaly scratched it with my nail :c*

soo back to dolce vita, 
the dusty rose-brick red shade is pretty!
i can apply it very light and i get a sheer rosy look and i can also build up
the application for a more dramatic look :)
*but too much of this blush can look very muddy*

the shade gives me a sophistacated/femine look 
i think it gives a more natural flush cause it does not have any shimmers :)


*closer look on the pan*


and of course it stays on my cheeks forever!!
superb staying power :)


a swatch on my wrist



at first i thought that dolce vita would be the same shade of outlaw 
but without the shimmers 
*the color of outlaw is rose w/ shimmers*
when i swatched it, outlaw is more on the pink side heehee :)






so here's dolce vita on my cheeks






another nice blush from NARS!!
i think i need to stop nars blushes for now, maybe i'll just add more nars next year LOL


thanks for visiting!!

NARS Velvet Matte Lip Color in Dolce Vita

hi!

today ill share my thoughts about
NARS Matte Lip Velvet Lip Color in Dolce Vita




this lip color is a *chubby* pencil type lipsticks
the texture is creamy and non drying
i love how it glides easily on my lips :)


the dolce vita shade on the other hand is a very nice
dusty rose color and its a perfect MLBB shade!!
it looks very pretty and natural

the shade provides a full pigment :)
and just like my NARS blushes, it also has a good staying power!

though i need to buy a sharpener for this chubby pencil heehee

here's a swatch on my wrist


a swatch on my lips



overall i love the idea of lipstick in pencil form heehee
and this shade of dolce vita is also love :)

i would love to have more of this velvet matte lip color
but i find it too expensive for $24/Php1350 each
*photo from nyxcosmetics.com
but then i saw that NYX cosmetics have jumbo lip colors as well!!
now that i want to try soon! :)
