My Pencil Liner Collection Part #1: more wearable shades

Hey there!
Since I've done a lot of collection posts for all kinda categories already, I thought it was time to show you my pencil liners, too! I split it into 2 parts, and this time I'll do more wearable shades, whereas next time I'll show you the colorful ones :) I also included Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencils and stuff like that.

1 Essence Kajal Pencil in 05 white - this is your standard white eyeliner, nothing special. I like this one, but I don't use it too often anymore. It's a little on the harder side.

2 Essence Into The Wild LE Jumbo Eye Pencil in 01 Beat The Heat - a chunky gold glitter eyeshadow pencil in a gold color.

3 NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Yogurt - it's a really hard to describe color, a frosty pinkish silver I think. I like this one for natural looks.

4 NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Bronze - this shimmery bronze color is very red-toned, and that makes it a little hard to wear.

5 Essence Longlasting eye pencil in 03 Let's Dance - I really like this warm, medium toned brown with shimmer, it's great for every day. You have to unscrew it, and it's unfortunately discontinued. Unfortunately you can't tell this one on the waterline.

6 Essence Secrets Of The Past LE kajal designer in ?? - this shimmery brown eyeliner is a tad darker than number 5, and not as soft. It has a sponge at the other end so you can smoke out the line.
7 p2 Perfect Look Kajal in 02 brown - I like this eyeliner a lot, because it's so soft and really glides on. You have to twist this one, too, to get it out. It also has a sharpener at the other end, and it's visible on the waterline.

8 Essence Black Mania black glossy eye pencil - This is like the best black eye pencil I ever tried! It's so soft and glides on easily, and it's also great on the waterline! Really good one, recommend it highly!
Swatches:

As you might be able to tell, I have a lot of my eyeliners from Essence. That's also because some of these are already a little older from when I bought most stuff at Essence.
Do you have any of these, too?
See ya!

My Eyeshadow Collection #5: Blues and Greens

Hey guys,
today I have the last post of my eyeshadow collection in terms of monos and duos - I think at least. So don't be surprised if there'll be another post coming up ;) Here are my blues + greens!

Essence - 29 C'est la vie
This eyeshadow's been discontinued for quite some time, but I still like it. It's a shimmery medium green, not too pigmented but still nice. I used to wear this a lot last year!

Essence - 25 Last Call
Here we have another discontinued eyeshadow, a very light blue/turquoise. I bought this when I was really young, it was one of my first eyeshadows, because I read in a magazine that this color would flatter my eye color :D It's just shimmery and not really pigmented. 

Catrice Oceana LE - C03 Sea Of Green
This eyeshadow is a vibrant matte green, really pretty for summer. I used it in an EOTD last year *click*. It was unfortunately limited.

MNY - 301A
This is a shimmery military kinda color, a khaki olive shade. It was part of some LE, but I don't remember the name, sorry :/ Pigmentation is good with this one. 

Alverde Baked Eyeshadow - 06 Intensive Turquoise 
Here we have a baked and unfortunately discontinued eyeshadow. It's a shimmery metallic and vibrant turquoise, but it looks better when applied wet.

RdLY Quattro - 02 Blue Lagoon
This is a quad, but I'm mentioning it here because it has the packaging of a normal mono eyeshadow. It's a light blue, two medium shades, all shimmery, and a black with blue glitter particles. This one's still available, I think. Pigmentation is okay.

Swatches:
these are just from the RdLY quad
All swatches were done without a base.

So guys, that's it for my greens and blues! Hope you liked this series!
Until next time,
xoxo, Misch

My Eyeshadow Collection #4: Pinks, Purples and Silvers

Hey everyone,
while you read this I'm away on a competition with my dancing crew, so cross your fingers for us :D
Here's the next part of my eyeshadow collection, and this one's not really one color category, I basically put all of the colors that weren't enough for a full category in one ;) So here are pinks, purples, reds and silvers ;)

Rival de Loop Duo - 05 light violet
This duo is a really pretty one if you want to wear some color. It has a light lilac part that has a bit of shimmer in it. The other part of this duo is a really pretty matte plum color, especially pretty for fall. Pigmentation is fine with both :)

Catrice Caramé LE - C03 Spiced Red

This eyeshadow is supposed to be a really close dupe to Cranberry by MAC. And that's really the perfect way to describe this color: cranberry. It's definitely red, but with some pink undertones, and it has some shimmer. Mine unfortunately broke when it fell down in by bathroom, so it looks a little messed up ;) But it's still fine, and pigmentation is excellent with this one.

Manhattan MyBox - 51N
I haven't mentioned my other MyBox eyeshadows so far, but that only because I forgot about them ;) This one was luckily in my stash when I took the pictures, so I can show it to you know :) In the packaging it's a really pretty glittery light pink. But it's hard and scratchy and lacks pigmentation when you apply it :/ Not so good.

Essence Into The Wild LE - 01 Mumbamumba

I already showed you the dark part of this duo in this previous post *click*, and here's the pink part now. It's a matte bright pink, and the texture & pigmentation is fine. You could also use this as a blush if you went for a Barbie kinda look ;)

Essence Moonlight LE - 01 Live Forever

This is a silver eyeshadow, and it's really shimmery. It's not too much pigmented, but I really like the design on the product itself ;)

Swatches:
And that's it for this part :) The next part of my collection will come next week :)
Do you own any of these eyeshadows?

My Eyeshadow Collection #3: Darker Browns

Hey guys!
Today I have the 3rd part of my eyeshadow collection for you, my darker browns :) Hope you enjoy it!

Essence Soft Matt - 03 Silky Smooth
This is a unfortunately discontinued matte chocolate brown that is pretty warm-toned. It has a nice texture and is quite pigmented, but not too much, so you always get the right amount of product.

MNY 602A
This eyeshadow was part of an LE, but I don't remember which, sorry. It's a cool-toned brown with some silver shimmer/frost. It's not too pigmented, but still nice for nude looks. It was even once named to be a dupe for Satin Taupe from MAC, but I don't know if that's true. 

Alverde Zauberwald LE - Magic Spirit
Magic Spirit is a greenish brown shimmer color, and quite pigmented. It was part of Alverde's Zauberwald LE, and I like it a lot, especially in fall.

Catrice Velvet Matt - 050 Sweet Mauve
Another discontinued color. It's purpley brown shade, and matte. It's nice to apply, but you have to be careful that it doesn't get patchy.

Rival de Loop Duo - Mocca Beige
I already showed you the lighter part of this duo here *click*, and now here is the darker side. It's a shimmery neutral-toned brown, not too pigmented but still nice.

Essence Into The Wild LE Duo - 01 Mumbamumba
Today I'm showing you the brown part of this duo. It's a frosted cool-toned brown with some silver hints in it. It's okay to apply, not perfect, but not bad either.

Swatches:
Well, that's it about this part of my collection :)
Until next time,
xoxo, Misch

My Eyeshadow Collection #2: Lighter Browns

Hi guys!
I already showed you the first part of my eyeshadow collection here *click*, and now I'm gonna show you the second part, my lighter browns and bronzes. Hope you'll enjoy it :)

Rival de Loop - 02 Sun
This is a really pretty champagne gold shade. It's packed with shimmer and can cause some fall-out due to the rather chalky texture. It's especially nice for highlighting.


Catrice - 070 Mr. Copper's Fields

This gorgeous copper shade has a very velvety feeling to it, and it has a nice shimmer that looks kinda metallic.


Catrice Caramé LE - C04 Spiced Bronze

This awesome shimmer color is part of last year's Caramé collection, and it's even supposed to be a dupe for Amberlights by MAC. It's a bronze gold-toned shade with so much metallic shimmer, and it applies really nice. It's very vibrant and best to make some accents in an eye make-up.


Rival de Loop Duo - Mocca Beige 

For this category of the collection I'll only show you the light side of this duo, because the dark side belongs to another category. This light color is a yellow-toned goldish champagne color. It's not too pigmented and a little chalky. It comes with a mini-mini sponge-tip applicator.

Swatches:
Do you own any of these eyeshadows? What do you think of them?
I'll see you soon!

My Lipgloss Collection #3: Pinks and Purples

Hey there! 
I am gonna show you here the last part of my lipgloss collection, my pinks and purples, basically the cool-toned shades. 
Let's get started!
Essence Blossoms etc. Le Lipgloss - 01 Flowerkissed 
I already showed you this lipgloss here, in a review *click*. It's a cool-toned pink with a slight slight shimmer.

Essence Sun Club LE Bronzing Lipbalm - 01 It's sunny honey
This lipgloss has two sides: a berry pink one and a bronze one. It's very shimmery and sticky and has a sweet scent.

Essence Glossy Lipbalm 05 Berry Sorbet
This is a tube gloss, a berry shimmery pink. It has a yummy candy taste, but it doesn't last too long.

NYX Round Lipgloss 14 Queen of Africa
This is a crazy purple color with a blue shimmer. It has this typical NYX soap taste and you can layer it so it doesn't look too crazy. I already showed you this one in this LOTD post *click*.
Manhattan Water Flash Lipgloss 46D
I really love this bright, vibrant pink color for summer. It has the best light moisturizing feeling on the lips and tastes lightly like watermelon. Here *click* I already reviewed it and here *click* I mentioned it in a LOTD post.
Manhattan Soft Mat Lipcream 56K
This cool-toned pink dries matte and feels light on the lips. Here *click* I did a review about it.
Maybelline Watershine Elixir Lipstick Vibrant Violet
This called a lipstick, but it's really a gloss. It comes in a tube where you have to twist the bottom so it comes out on the top. It's a berry purpley color with some cool-toned shimmer. It tastes like watermelon.
Yves Rocher Luminelle Gloss Brillantissime 53 Rose Idylle
This gloss is really sheer and I don't like the weird taste at all, but the shimmer's just so so gorgeous. It's bright pink, and I wasn't able to picture that in the photos unfortunately :P

Yves Rocher Coleurs Nature Plumping Sheer Gloss 01 Framboise
This mini gloss has a brush and a very very sticky texture. Due to that is lasts very long. It's a nice raspberry shade, but still wearable with the tiniest hint of shimmer in it.

This was the last part of my lipgloss collection :)
*click* here for part one, and *click* here for part two.
Until next time,
