Review: Manhattan Water Flash Lipgloss

Hey everyone,

I just recently found a new limited edition by Manhattan at my drugstore. It's called "wet shot" and it contains nail polishes and a new line of lipglosses that are called Water Flash Lipglosses. I think that it will move into the permanent line but I'm not sure about it. I saw them at the durgstore and I immedately decided which one I wanted to get. I swatched all of them and I chose the most vibrant and colorful one. There are 6 colors avaiable, colorful ones as well as neutral ones. Since they claim to contain a lot of water, I thought that they'll be very sheer, but they aren't! I bought the most pigmented one, the others are a bit sheerer but in a way that you can still see the color on the lips. The one I bought is called 46D. They cost around 4 Euros, depending on where you buy them.

I'm going to list all the good and bad aspects of this lipgloss here. Please note that I just got one, so it can be totally different with the other lipglosses. I'm going to get a neutral one soon, when they're on sale at my drugstore, so I can compare it to this one. The review will come soon.

What it claims to do:

* light consistency

* wet look-effect

* intensely moisturizing due to the high water content

* not sticky

What I think about it:

++POSITIVES++

+ nice pigmentation

+ available in 6 different colors from neutral to colorful

+ price

+ nice melon scent that isn't too strong

+ nice shine

+ stays for a few hours

+ not sticky

+ cute and convenient packaging

+ you can layer it and achieve the coverage you like

+ nice to apply with the applicator

+ the color stays even when the shine goes away

+ doesn't dry out the lips

--NEGATIVES--

- doesn't stay when you eat or drink something

- it's really hard to remove when you get it on your hand or something, water and soap won't be enough

- it get's on you teeth easily when you apply it

These promises does it keep:

* light consistency --> YES

* wet look-effect --> YES

* intensely moisturizing due to the high water content --> PARTLY: it doesn't dry out the lips and it moisturizes lightly, but not intensely

* not sticky --> YES

BOTTOM LINE: I really like this lipgloss. It's obviously not an every day color, but it's very nice for a summer party or something like this. It's a really good drugstore lipgloss and defininately worth its money. I really recommend it!

Have you tried out any of these water flash lipglosses? Do you like them? Do you like this one?

I hope y'all had a nice day and I'll blog to you later!

NOTD July 6th: OPI - We'll Always Have Paris - Suede

Hey everyone,

how are you? I'm fine.

Today I'm going to show you guys my NOTD! I'm wearing OPI's We'll Always Have Paris in the Suede version. It's a dark purple with silver glitter and it's matte. It just has the typical Suede finish. I really love it! Of course I know that Suede nail polishes don't last very long, and you shouldn't apply a topcoat because then the Suede finish is gone. That's the reason why I already removed it today. I wore it for three days, the whole Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. It already showed some tipwear on the evening of Sunday and it started to chip off on Monday. I don't really think that's such a big problem, because the color is so pretty and most drugstore nail polishes don't last any longer, either. I used two thin coats for the perfect coverage and I also wore a base coat. When I removed it, I noticed something: when you go over the nail with a cotton pad soaked with nail polish remover without trying to remove it completely, just the purple gets removed and you nail stays painted with a silver Suede! I think that that is really cool :)

So, that's it for today, I hope you enjoyed it!

My thoughts on the current Essence limited editions

Hey guys, this month Essence released two new limited editions and I already found them at my local drugstore a week ago. I had enough time to try them out, so I'm going to show you what I got and tell you what I think about them!

Essence RETURN TO PARADISE Collection:

These products are available: 2 baked eyeshadow trios, 3 eyeliner pens, 3 lipglosses, 1 shimmer powder, 5 nail polishes, blotting tissues

What I bought: the shimmer powder in 01 the famous flamingo

My thoughts:

-The eyeshadow trios are available in orange/yellow-puple-brown and gold-teal-brown. They're really colorful and nicely pigmented.

-The eyeliner pens are available in brown, petrol and lilac. They have a felt tip applicator. Only the lilac is a bit light, the other are nicely pigmented.

-The lipglosses contain a ton of glitter and they don't look really pigmented. Unfortunately, there weren't any ligloss testers. They are available in brown, lilac and orange.

-The shimmer powder is a shimmery, light pink color and nicely pigmented. It gives a nice glow and lighter skin-toned people could even use this as a blush.

-The nail polishes are very colorful, too. They're available in petrol, orange, yellow, brown and purple. I already have colors like that so I didn't buy one.

Bottom line: This collection is really nice and colorful. Definitely check it out!

Essence THE TWILIGHT SAGA ECLIPSE Collection:

These products are available: 3 baked eyeshadow duos, 2 glitter eye pencils, 1 shimmer powder, 4 lipglosses, 5 nail polishes

What I bought: 2 lipglosses: 01 lunch at cullens and 03 ready to be bitten, nail polish in 02 thirsty!

My thoughts:

-The baked eyeshadow duos are all really pigmented and glittery. You can get them in silver-black, purple-lilac and blue-silver

-The glitter eye pencils look as if they were just glitter and they will scratch your skin. They're available in silver and black.

-The shimmer powder is just loose glitter.

-The lipglosses are available in dark red, pink-purple, clear and black. All of them contain glitter. I bought the dark red and the clear one and they're really pigmented! Just the way you want your lipglosses to be. The red is really dark on the lips, so it's nothing for everyday, but the clear one is really nice, especially in the sunlight, because then you can see the multicolor glitter. Without eating or drinking, they last pretty long. The red one isn't gone after eating/drinking.

-The nail polishes are all really pretty. You can get a jelly bloody red one, a black one with magenta glitter, a shimmery silver one, a jelly magenta one and a pearly shimmer color. I bought the bloody red one and the application was great for a drugstore product. I wore it on my toenails for over a week and it almost didn't chip off. I wore two coats, because with them, it's perfectly opaque. I really like it.

Edit: I got the black glitter nail polish a while after I wrote this post. I didn't get a chance to wear it yet, but the swatches look nice, the color is almost opaque with two coats and the glitter comes out, especially in the sunlight.

Bottom line: This is a really nice collection! I would recommend all the products I got and if you like them, you should give them a try!

you can see swatches of both of this collections at www.fragdiegurus.de

I hope you enjoyed this post and I'll see you guys later!

Review: Yves Rocher Les Plaisirs Nature Cherry Set

I just recently got the new set by Yves Rocher, the Bigarreau Cherry Line. A shower gel, a lipgloss and a perfume are available and they're all supposed to smell like cherry. If you don't know what Yves Rocher is, you should check out their online store. It's basically a beauty store from France that sells natural cosmetics with mostly botancial-based ingredients.

I'm gonna tell you what I think of the products!

First, the shower gel. It contains 13.5 fl oz and if you buy it separately, you'll pay 4,95 Euros.

++POSITIVE++

+ contains botanical-based ingredients

+ lathers very well

+ scent stays on your body for something around 2 hours

+ the price is OK

+ nice, gel-like formula

--NEGATIVE--

- scent is a bit unnatural

- it's hard to get out the right amount because the cap is so huge

I think it's a nice product and if you like the scent, get it. But there are other alternatives available.

Second, the perfume. It contains 0.67 fl oz and if you buy it separately, you'll pay 3,50 Euros.

++POSITIVE++

+the scent is the perfect cherry scent in my opinion. It's not too sweet and not too heavy, it's just really good

+ the price is OK

+ botanical-based ingredients

+ the bottle is really cute (I'm a sucker for cute packaging)

--NEGATIVE--

- the scent doesn't stay so long, just for something around three hours

I really like this perfume and I've been using it regularly now.

Last, the lipgloss. It contains 0.34 fl oz and if you buy it separately, you'll pay 2.95 Euros. It's in a tube.

++POSITIVE++

+ the color is a nice red without shimmer/glitter

+ easy application because of the tube form

+ nice, gel-like formula

+ stays for something around two hours when you don't eat or drink anything

+ botanical-based ingredients

+ the price is OK

--NEGATIVE--

- the scent/taste is a mix between cherry and soap water, I don't like that

It's a nice lipgolss in my opinion, and if you don't mind a weird taste, it's definitely worth to look at.

BOTTOM LINE: I think this collection is nice with a few little negative points. When you are at a Yves Rocher store, definitely look at it and smell it. My favorite out of this collection is the perfume. I got it in a kit by my friends and I don't know the price of the kit and I can't find it at the website.

I hope you all enjoyed this review and I hope I helped you out!

NOTD July 2nd: Essie Tart Deco

Hey dear readers,

I'm weraing Essie's Tart Deco for a few days now and I wanted to tell you what I think about it. When I first applied it to my nail wheel, I thought it was perfet. Super smooth, not streaky at all and perfect coverage with two coats. It is described as a "dreamy creamy coral" by Essie and I thought that was perfectly right. But when I applied it to my nails, it was streaky with the first coat and I didn't like the color at all. It's definately darker that it appears in the bottle. Now, after looking at it for three days, I'm beginning to like it. I expected it to be a nice coral, but this color looks different in any light! It looks coral, then peach, then neon orange and then pink. That's so weird and the main reason why I didn't like it at first. I took a few pictures for you to show you the different colors it can look like, I hope you're able to see some differences ;) . After three days it started to show some tip wear and it even chipped off on one nail.

Have you tried out Tart Deco? Do you like it? If you don't have it, would you buy it because of the color?

I hope you enjoyed this post and I'll see you soon!

Bye, Misch
