SS15 Sheer Lipsticks: Givenchy, Lancome, Urban Decay and Bare Minerals
New season – new lipstick, right? Here are some of the variants which you can consider. I have already posted about a lot of new lipsticks (browse here), and here are even more. This time it’s all abut the sheer, glossy, balmy textures. And, yes, there will be a separate feature about different ones.
First of all, here is a preview of Givenchy’s Rouge A Porter which comes in a chic thin leather tube and is a glossy sister of my favourite Le Rouge. Available for £25 from Harrods.
Please excuse the bad quality of the photos, they were made with a phone camera + a bad light in store. But, hopefully, it will give you an idea of what to expect.
Lancome brought out a
Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas: Lush, Illamasqua and Bare Minerals
It doesn’t really matter if you celebrate Valentine’s Day or not, any reason to get a lill’ treat for yourself or someone else would work, right?
So here are just a few ideas of what you could get! By the way, I plan to make my own beauty wish list this weekend, so will definitely share next week.
Illamasqua brought out a set with wicked reds called I am the One which retails for £50 and includes four products: two of them are new actually – Intense Lip Gloss in Touch, Lip Colouring in Feisty, and two best-sellers – Nail Varnish in Throb and Lipstick in Maneater.
I personally love myself some Lush for VDay, in fact,
Spring 2014 Colour: Radiant Orchid
So… the official Pantone colour for SS14 is Radiant Orchid. And you can actually see cool toned pink/lavender/orchid beauty products in several Spring 2014 makeup collections.
I am personally a big fan of sheer lip products of such shades, and wouldn’t mind something for nails and eyes, too.
Luckily Sephora has a huge selection of the makeup in this trendy shade, and I have chosen five that I personally wouldn’t mind having in my own makeup bag:
- Givenchy Gelée D’Interdit Smoothing Gloss
New Lip Laquers: ArteDeco Lip Laquers And Bare Minerals Pretty Amazing Lip Colors
If you are not a huge fan of the sheer textures in lipsticks you are gonna love these new products by ArtDeco and Bare Minerals.
Both products are promised to be vibrant and smooth with a glossy and opaque coverage and a long-lasting effect.
I haven’t tried them myself yet but I am really looking forward to as these look and sound amazing. And after seeing swatches I want pretty much all the shades of these gorgeous lip laquers.

Buxom, Armani,Too Faced and Deborah Lippmann Values Sets
This week I was browsing some US websites as I’ve ordered some things for myself ( my friend kindly agreed to help) and I came across some interesting sets which I personally think are worth the attention.
So if you are from the US, you may find this interesting. I could have included so many sets but I’ve limited them to four only.
All the sets are relatively new and I would personally get all of them for myself.
Buxom Fashion Show…& Tell™ , $29
A collection of seven ready-to-wear Big & Healthy Lip Polishes.
This set contains:
0.05 oz x 7 Mini Big & Healthy Lip Polish in
- Sugar (rose glow),
- Katie (princess pink),
- Mia (fuchsia shimmer),
- Alison (vibrant pink shimmer),
- Sasha (champagne shimmer),
- Linda (sheer plum wine),
- Kesha (sheer pink rose)
My opinion: I think it’s an amazing value for 7 glosses and a great chance to get a lot of shades for less than $30.
