Yves Saint Laurent ROUGE PUR COUTURE glossy stain #6 Camel Croisiere

I've been walking around that lip stain for more than a year and yet something was stopping me from buying it. But my self-control was broken by a 40% sale... oh well I can't help myself, big sales make me go crazy and my brain just stops working... 😳
My favorite color for lips is everything in orange/apricot pallete, I believe it suits me the best. So i got a nude orangy shade called Camel Croisiere.

The stain is packed in beautiful black and gold tube with a small window where you can see the actual color:

And on me:

A close-up. 

I've been using it since summer.

The pros:

• Once applied it "freezes up" and the color stays normally for ~4 hours, it is kissproof (I've checked! LOL);
• Has a shiny glossy finish;
• Doesn't smudge;
• Has a large variety of colors;
• Doesn't stick in crevices;
• Non-sticky texture

The cons:

there is only one, but very serious con for me.

• It dries out the lips really bad if you use it non-stop for a long time (I noticed serious dryness after 4 months of a non-stop usage and still trying to get my lips back to normal condition!)

I am really disappointed with my lips condition now. I love the color so much, but the fact that it dried out my lips makes me stay away from using it for a while. But all in all it is a lovely product, but in my case not for everyday use. And the most funnt thing is that I didn't notice that my lips are getting dry! The texture is so comfy, even feels like moisturizing like some lip gloss. But one day i woke up with terribly dry lips. But that made me buy a lot of stuff for lip care and soon I will make a review on what helped me.

and here is a poser photo with this lipstain lol

The price is 35 $.

Nature Republic Cushion CC SPF50+/PA+++ in 21

Well, let me continue showing you my beauty purchases from my Korean trip ^^
There are tons of different cc-creams nowadays and it seems that every asian beauty brand has launched its own cc-cushion. I wanted to buy one from Etude House, but this one was on sale, so I grabbed it~


The primery function of this cc-cushion is to protect your skin from the sun and  it also helps to correct a skin tone and keeps your skin moisturized.

Here it is

The cream is inside a sponge, I think it is very useful, I don't need any additional tools to apply it on my face.

There are 2 tones available, I picked the lightest one, the number is 21.

When the cc-cream is finished there are refills available for purchase which i find really nice.

Okay, so let's have a look

My face with only a moisturizing cream and a toc-toc toning base on, I am wearing princess mimi sesame grey lenses if you are wondering

And with cc cream on and fully made up

a close-up

My skin type is combination and even dry in winter, so this cc-cushion feels awesome and lasts all day providing me with enough moisture. I think it won't be good for oily skin.

The cc cushion by Nature Republic has a very glowy finish, if you are a matt skin lover, this product is definately not for you.

Kisses,

Matt Lipstick 03 Gorgeous Red by SEATREE

 Hello kittens,

Couldn't wait to show you this awesome red lipstick from my korean trip!

Seatree has absolutely fantastic idea to let their customers not only to choose the color and texture of the lipstick, but also a cap!!! It is so awesome! They have about 10 adorable caps to choose from, I picked the cute elephant print :)

The construction reminded me of chanel rouge allure series because it can be opened by pushing the bottom just like chanel ones.

The texture is velvety matt, very rich in color!
I only had one red matt lipstick before, it was diorific in 037 which to my surprise turned out to be not really comfortable. The Seatree matt lipstick is so much more comfortable and cheaper.

Here is a comparison swatches, Seatree is on the left and Dior is on the right

And here it is on me ;)

I can't help sharing more korean beauty products with you guys!!!

When I tried this base in a shop it was love at first sight touch!You literally feel the toning effect!! it is so refreshing and makes the foundation or a bb-cream or whatever you use slide and stay longer. The pores are less visible, the base is absorbed in blink of an eye :3 no greasy felling at all! I guess this nice feeling is because it has laminaria in it ^^ 

What they promise :

-High concentration moisture gel with Multi pearl capsules immediately brightens skin for greater definition of facial contours

-Pure Crystal powder effectively conceals pores and wrinkles maximizing makeup’s effects

-Fermented Yeast Extract provides the benefits of soothing, smoothing & moisturizing to improve skin tone, firming and diminishing the appearance of wrinkles while protecting skin

Let's have a look! 

Here is the pretty glass bottle.

It has white and pink capsules in it which blend when you apply it on the face.
