L.O.V nailpolish in 200 Beautiful Berry

There is a new makeup brand on the market and you can also find it in Slovenia. Cosnova launched a new brand, that is targeting a more mature consumer, so the packaging is more elegant and classic and the prices are in the range of Bourjois for example.

The packaging is indeed beautiful and the minute I saw the pictures of nail polishes I knew that if I would buy just one thing from the brand it would be a nail polish. The colour selection is classic, no crazy colours there, but nonetheless the choice wasn't easy, so I chose I colour that I don't have in my stash.

The colour is a dusty darker pink or vintage pink and on the nails is darker than what it looks like in the bottle. On the nails is indeed a berry (although light) shade. Just right for autumn.

The application is easy, the brush is perfect dor my nails and the cute lid is removable so the application is even easier. I have nothing bad to say about this nail polish really. Well there is the price, for 11 ml you pay 5,99 €, so not the cheapest, but that is to be expected due to the target consumer of the brand L.O.V.

Have a great day :)

What I'm reading + NOTD pt. 44

The novel by Jan van Mersbergen Zadnji pobeg (original title De laatste ontsnapping) is not translated in English. If I translate the title for you it would be something like The last escape.

"You are my father" the voice on the phone says. It belongs to a ten year old boy Deedee and he is speaking to his father Ivan for the first time. At this moment Ivan’s world begins to change. This is how starts a sensitive story about the relationship between a father and a son, the story about parental love and the price of freedom.

The nail polish is Kiko Quick Dry line, with a fascinating name 858. It has a foil finish, but you have to be careful how you apply it, if you don't want visible brush strokes. The colour in the bottle is silver and pink, but on the nails it leans towards pink. The application is not problematic.

Have a great day :)

Catrice Matt Lip Artist in 050 Fashion REDitorial

Here I'm with another review of a red lipstick. You could see the lipstick in my post Recent beauty purchases and now you will see it on my lips.

On the Catrice site it says that "the Matt 6hr Lip Artist covers the lips in intensively rich colour without smudging. At the same time, the non-drying formula feels pleasantly light and velvety-soft on the lips. Additionally, the handy retractable stylo pen allows an accurate application and perfect definition."

It's true, the application is very easy, no tugging of the lips and doesn't feel dry. And it's also true that the pen allows an accurate application, at least I had no problems with it. In my previous post I said that I find the finish velvet matte and not true matt. Now I would say that it has a matte finish (not the extremely dry and matte finish that liquid lipsticks usually have, but regular matte finish). 

I have problems when it comes to describing the longevity of lipsticks. I don't know, it's just when I eat, no lipstick stays nice on me and I always feel like I have to reapply it. Yes, some stay better than others, but all disappear sooner or later when I eat. At this moment I ate an ice cream and this one is still nice on the lips, no need to reapply it, it looks completely presentable, but when I was wearing it to a party it was gone after a while (yes, the unwanted lip liner was there) and I was just drinking. I feel like I can't be comfortable while wearing a red lip and I'm always looking at the mirrors, checking if the lipstick is still there (and this is not just with red lipstick, but with all darker shades).

And I also changed my mind about the colour of this one. I said before that I wanted it to be brighter, looking it now on my lips I think is quite bright, brighter and warmer than my Rimmel one but it's true that the difference is minimal.

But in conclusion I have to say I like this lipstick.

Have a great day :)

What I'm reading + NOTD pt.43

Five month after I made a reservation in the library I got the book. But I don't mind the waiting, especially if it is a good book. I wouldn't say that (original title La verite sur l'affaire Harry Quebert) is the best book I ever read, not even in the crime genre, but it is a nice book nonetheless. In my opinion it has a little bit too much of everything, I wouldn't explain it further what I exactly mean, so that I don't tell you some spoilers.

In the summer of 1975 fifteen year old Nola disappeared. Thirty-three years later, her body is dug up from Harry Quebert, along with a manuscript copy of the novel that made him a household name. Quebert is the only suspect. Marcus Goldman - Quebert's most gifted protégé - throws off his writer's block to clear his mentor's name. Solving the case and penning a new bestseller soon merge into one. As his book begins to take on a life of its own, the nation is gripped by the mystery of 'The Girl Who Touched the Heart of America'. But with Nola, in death as in life, nothing is ever as it seems.

The nail polish is from O.P.I and I think is from a limited edition. The name of the polish is Thanks a Windmillion. And I had no problems with it. Easy application, great brush, two coats for full opacity. The colour is not as vibrant as the previous three; it's just like the weather these days, a little bit muted.

Have a nice day :)
