Give me the Liberty of London Lipstick Swatches!

So this is part 2 of my haul! I bought 3 lipsticks from the "Give me the Liberty of London" LE which will come out in Germany around April 1st! Unfortunately it will be store exclusive here =( so I ordered these 3 babies together with my Colour 3 Quad in the U.S.

I've been so fixed on by those 3 lipsticks when I saw swatches, so I needed to get em!

Blooming Lovely, Ever Hip, Petals & Peacocks

The design is so cute... and I even love the birdy side (yes Zerin, I do! haha)

Petals & Peacocks (Amplified): I never mentioned wearing this kind of shade but now I wanted to try it out and wow, I think it looks good on me! hehe. It is described as a bright fuchsia pink, and I don't have any shades to compare with. Many say it is comparable to Show Orchid or Gladiola (LE).


Ever Hip (Cremesheen): I love Cremesheen lipsticks and I love peaches and corals (maybe I'll go for Peachstock l/s later) so I had to get this! It is buildable in colour like every cremesheen and a little more darker and coral than Shy Girl

(from left to right) Ever Hip, Shy Girl, Colour me Coral (LE)

Blooming Lovely (Amplified) is like a more toned down version of Lavender Whip (LE). Since it is an amplified, it is more pigmented. Lavender whip is a bit more pink, while blooming lovely has a mauvey grey undertone, but there is no big difference at all. So if you missed Lavender Whip, you should give this a try!

So what do you guys think about this LE???

Colour 3 Quad

Some new Maccies arrived today and of course I want to show you what I got =) I decided to split it into 2 postings so that they wouldn't be too long and heavy... lol
So let's begin with the Colour 3 Quad from the Spring Colour Forecast LE!

At first I decided to skip this quad because I have so much purples in my palette and it seemed to be very similar to the In the Gallery Quad from the Makeup Art LE last year which I own. Then... when I saw swatches I changed and wanted to have this, because the colours are unique... and it was sold out everywhere =( But I had the chance to order it from the U.S. and so I didn' hesitate, lol

Top row: Mink Pink, Bruised Plum
Bottom row: Black Tulip, Jungle Moon (I LOVE the names... did you ever buy something just because of it's name? lol)

Mink Pink (Veluxe) is a light yoghurt pink shade. The finish feels like matte but a little bit creamy. I never had an eyeshadow with this finish before.

Bruised Plum (Veluxe Pearl) is like a more pink toned version of shale.

Black Tulip (Frost) is like a mix between Satellite Dreams and Nocturnelle from the permanent line. I don't know why it's called Frost because it doesn't feel like a frost, more like a Veluxe Pearl.

Jungle Moon (matte) is a dark eggplant colour. It is much more pigmented than the darkest colour of the In the Gallery Quad.

So the quads have a new design... I love it, it looks more sophisticated, doesn't it? This is the Colour 3 Quad (left) compared to In the Gallery Quad (right) which has the old design

You see the colours are very different. Colour 3 is much more pigmented while In the Gallery is more on the pastel side.

So if you have the chance.. go and grab this quad! =)

News in my beautycase!

I got a few new things in january/february and now I found the time to take some pictures =)

MAC Eyeshadows: Paradisco, Swish, Hepcat (top row), Electra, Silver Ring (middle row), Cork, Woodwinked (bottom row)

Paradisco is such a gorgeous colour but very sheer on my complexion. I need to grub in the pan to get a visible amount of colour :(

Swish is a nice, blue-based poppy pink. It goes very well with brown eyes and has a little metalic shimmer in it.

Hepcat is a darker purple pink. It looks great paired with Swish!

Electra is the classic silver eyeshadow with a hint of blue, but not as much as Silverthorn e/s.

Silver Ring is a shimmery steel grey with a hint of blue, too, it's like a darker version of Electra.

Cork is a matte, mid-toned brown every palette needs. I was looking for Saddle e/s but it was sold out everywhere. So I got Cork as an alternative and it works great.

Woodwinked looks like a mix of antique gold and bronze. You should try it with Quite Natural Paint Pot as a base, it looks faboulous because it brings out the opulent, golden shimmer.

MAC Lipsticks: Ruby Woo (left) and Velvet Teddy

MAC Ruby Woo is a classic, blue-based red. It's the first choice for girls of my complexion if they look for a classic and bold red. It's a matte finish, on the picture I wear it with a small amount of clear gloss on top.


MAC Velvet Teddy is a matte, dark beige. It looks like my lips, just a few darker. So for pigmented lips it's a typical MLBB (my lips but better) shade. I love to wear it in everyday looks.

I finally purchased my very first Benefit products. They were in sale, 7.99€ each. I bought "Her Glossiness A-list" lipgloss in"didn't hear it from me" (what a name for a lipgloss! lol) and "The Gloss" lipgloss in "rave reviews". I love the packaging, it reminds me of the 50ies.

Rave Reviews looks like a dark red in the tube, but on my lips it is sheer. It makes my lips look a little bit more red and healthier.

Didn't hear it from me is a cute peachy pink shade in the tube, but on my pigmented lips it is invisible, so I didn't bother doing any lip swatches. But it looks great on top of peach or peachy pink lipsticks like MAC Shy Girl.

Thanks for reading and commenting!

MAC All Ages, All Races, All Sexes Haul and Swatches!

Heyho!
I grabbed some things from the All Ages, All Races, All Sexes Collection which came out in Germany around the last weekend. The idea of this collection is to present colours, which should be wearable for everyone now matter how old, how dark or light or whatever ;-) I didn't plan to buy as much but those babies cried "Buy me!" lol I know I'm insane.

That's my little haul (clockwise from the top): Mink Brow Set, Glamour for All Lipglass, Spirit & Soul Lipglass, Showstopper Eyeshadow, Empowered Lipstick.

I bought Mink Brow Set because I like Brow Sets to keep my brows in shape and make them appear fuller. I own Show Off but this is too warm and red. Mink ist the perfect colour, it's like Showstopper as a brow set, so I bought this and will give Show Off away.


Showstopper is a dark, cool brown. It's like Satin Taupe in a much darker and matte version (although I think the finish is Satin... or Velvet? I'll have a look at it). It's close to Night Manoeuvres from the Style Warrior LE. Night Manoeuvres is just a little lighter and has a tiny different undertone.

This is Glamour for all Lipglass. I've been looking out for a milky pink and opaque lipglass and now I found it. It is not as sheer as the most ligplasses from the past collections (in the last time... don't you think MAC made their lipglasses sheerer and sheerer? There have been tons of lipglasses, which looked nice in the tube but invisible on my lips!)

This is Spirit & Soul Lipglass. I bought this to have a "partner" for my brown lipsticks. This is a coconutty colour with some frost.

Empowered Lipstick (Satin) -I know this swatch looks very untidy, I have dried out lips and forgot to wear a lipliner. When I began doing makeup I only wore brown lipsticks. Later I began to hate them because they looked "old fashioned"... well, it's a question of taste and it depends on the brown you're using. Empowered is a timeless classic brown shade and I'm looking forward to wear it with golden eye makeups.

Empowered Lipstick paired with Spirit & Soul Lipglass.

Big hug,
Sisa ♥♥♥

MAC Warm & Cozy Haul and Swatches!

Hey guys!

So I've been waiting for this collection for such a long time, it felt like years, lol... it's really my kind of colours but surprisingly I skipped all of the eyeshadows. At first I wanted to get Modelette and Mulled Cider, but Mulled Cider seemed be to close to Swiss Chocolate from the permanent line so I didn't need that one. And Modelette... well, I think I own enough of these beige-brown shades.

Click to enlarge!

So that's my haul. You may laugh, but this is the most expensive MAC LE I've ever had, lol... I got both MSFs, By Candlelight and Comfort, both of the Tinted Lip Conditioners (Feelin' Good and Close for Comfort) and the Nailpolish Blissed Out.

I know many find the MSFs boring because there have been so much similar shades in previous LEs, but I love them and since I'm not the biggest MSF collector, I didn't own that kind of shades yet.

I expected the Tinted Lip Conditioners to be a little bit more pigmented, because the Pink Fish TLC from the Hello Kitty LE was quite pigmented. But they just add a hint of colour on my lips (and taste like vanilla pudding with tons of sugar and a little perfume, lol). I like the feeling they leave on my lips. It's moisturizing and creamy, but not sticky.

Feelin' Good Tinted Lip Conditioner


Close for Comfort Tinted Lip Conditioner

Blissed Out Nailpolish. Nice colour but I needed 3 coats to get it really opaque.



Have a nice Weekend!

Love Lace Swatches

Today I want to show you my mini haul from the new MAC Love Lace Limited Edition.

I bought Love Lace and Suave Intentions e/s which are really pretty colours. Suave Intentions is very similar to Tilt e/s form the permanent line, but it has a more silvery undertone.

I also got Light Affair Nail Lacquer (cream finish) since I find it an unique and opaque colour.

The rest of the LE didn't seem so interesting to me. I know everyone raves about Feline Eye Khol, but I have enough good eye khols in my beautycase so I didn't need another one.

I know it's super messy and untidy... I just wanted to give you an idea of the colour.

MAC Christmas Haul

This is my MAC Christmas Haul (part 1 maybe, lol). On wednesday I had the chance to went to a MAC Counter, as we went to Dresden. I Back2MACed another lipstick (Snob... so cute!) and bought some other things as well. Besides I ordered 2 Refills and a new Eyeshadow Palette from another MAC Counter in Munich, which arrived yesterday.

My little haul from Dresden. I bought Select Cover-Up Concealer to give my undereye circles a little more coverage in winter, since they appear darker in this season :-(

2 new refills. I wanted Parfait Amour for a long time and finally I got it. The other brown eyeshadows I got because I'm on the brown trip right now, lol


Mocha, isn't it gorgeous? This colour is kinda neutral (not warm or cold either) and will fit to nearly every eye makeup.

MAC Snob with some transparent lipgloss on top (since it is a satin, it may appear to dry on your lips when you wear it alone). Such a cute Bubblegum Pink.

Magic, Mirth and some other Mischief!

I got mail today! 3 packages with cute things within, lol. I needed a new coat for winter, because I got TO FAT for my old ones! OMG! That makes me so sick, lol... but I'm so frustrated and start eating everytime I can. But the new coat fits nice and has a gorgeous purple colour ♥

Anyway, I want to show you my new little haul. Finally we've got a MAC Online Store in Germany. YAY! I ordered just a few things, because they still don't have eyeshadow refills. They will be available in about 2 weeks.

I decided to try out the Brush Cleanser. It impresses me how fast the bristles get dry after cleansing. Wow it's way better than my self mixed cleanser, though this was good too.

Those 5 mini lipglasses are from the Mischief Makers Lipglass Set "Models Misbehaving". Aren't they cute? I'll do some lip swatches soon.

This is my first full size Paint Pot! To date I just got samples from some friends. This colour comes out like coffee with milk. It's so cute and works great underneath brown and neutral eyeshadows. I think this will be neutral base for darker skinned women, too.

Some new Maccies ♥

Hey guys! Some new Maccies found their new home in my palettes, lol.

Peachykeen Blush: This is a Sheertone Shimmer Blush. I looked for a peachy blush, at first I wanted to have Melba, but since it is a matte (and I'm not so into matte blushes) I decided for Peachykeen. So cute and gives a very warm glow.

Beauty Marked Eyeshadow: I wanted a kinda darker version of Sketch to darken my crease more but don't use black, especially on purple or brown Eye Make Up. Beauty Marked is a Velvet finished eyeshadow, like a black-brown with bordeaux red glitter.

Tilt Eyeshadow: I'm not kidding, this is the very first lighter blue eyeshadow I bought in my whole life. I've always been afraid of light blue eyeshadows, because there have been so much cruel make ups with that kind of shade in the past, lol, and much people think of prostitutes with light blue eyeshadow and red lips. Well, I don't want to wear it that way. I think in combination with Prussian, Deep Truth or Contrast it will look pretty. Its finish is Frost.

Swimming Eyeshadow: Since I am into greens, I had to get this. It's a little bit more blueish and intense than Juxt. It is a Lustre... I know many people don't like Lustres because they find it too glittery, but I like this finish and with a good base on they last as long as any other finish.

I will try out some of them tomorrow. Maybe I'll do a new FOTD.

Yours,

Sisa ♥♥♥

I couldn't resist... ;-)

I bought these babies, lol... just 1€ for one pair. I love this kind of earrings.

Some new Haul Pictures

Hey guys!

In the past few weeks I got some new MACCIES and I'll show it to you today.

In the Gallery Quad: This is from the Make Up Art Cosmetics LE, designed by Richard Philips, like the Photo Realism Quad, too.
Some say that colours are chalky and don't have much payoff, but this is not true.
You should never judge an Eyeshadow by handswatches. On my hands, swatches are always sheer and not very impressing. But on lid, with a base, these colours look definately NOT chalky! They are really beautiful and I must confess, surprisingly I prefer this quad to Photo Realism. Those colours are perfect and so gorgeous especially for dark brown or green eyes. Believe me! lol. This Quad shouldn't be put down so much.

I'll do a look with this quad to show you, how gorgeous the colours really are.

Nymphette Lipglass: I wanted to have this since I saw it on a counter in August. Finally I got it! I like this, it is a rose but also lil bit peachy colour with golden shimmer in it. I couldn't catch this effect on my pictures, sorry :-(

Here are some swatches:

Sorry, you can see all my discolorations around my mouth area. I didn't have any make up on.

Goldmine Eyeshadow: I thought about getting this when I saw a few tutorials by lovely Zerin. This is a Desi Colour which fits nice to nearly everything, especially browns, reds/pinks and greens.

Prussian Eyeshadow: I'm not the biggest fan of blue Eyeshadows, but this is the sort of blue I really love. It's a Matte² Finish and very pigmented.

Because yesterday (September 25) was my 23th birthday, I got some money and of course I bought some new MAC items, lol.

Breezy Blush: Breezy is a rose-berry coloured sheertone blush. Berry colours are very popular this fall. I didn't try it out on my cheeks yet (I will do this afternoon) but in the pan and on my hand it looks so gorgeous.

Girlie Eyeshadow: This is the old rose shade I looked for a long time. Yippie! lol

Omega Eyeshadow: I wanted a neutral beige which comes close to my natural lid colour (or a little bit darker). This will be perfect for any neutral look.

Ok, that's all for today!

Yours,

Sisa ♥
