Catrice Pure Shine colour lipbalm

You guys know I'm crazy about lipproducts. I recently got a new lipproduct: the Pure Shine Colour lip balm by Catrice. This is kind of like a big lip pencil (well I don't know the right name for it, I hear so many names all the time).

 

I think the packaging of this product looks good. The silver is a bit risky because it could end up looking cheap, I've always prefered black, but it's actually pretty.

The colour that I got is "My Cherry Berry". I think that's such a cute name, I love it! 

This is what it looks like. It's actually a little darker than my lips but it still looks natural. I wear this on the days that I don't want to wear lipstick. I mean, it's still a nice colour, it's just not that obvious and it doesn't get on your teeth.

Swatch! As you can see, the lipbalm is a bit sheer, which I don't mind because I expect lip pencils/lipbalms to be that way. Of course you can build up the intensity of the colour.

And this is how the product looks on my lips. Pretty, huh?

I'm totally excited and really amazed by this product. I think it's awesome; it looks good and it's not expensive. A big "yay" to Catrice, I will for sure collect more of these.

Thanks for reading!

H&M (huge) makeup palette review

I love H&M. It's my favourite place to get trendy yet inexpensive items. The H&M close to my home probably only exists because I shop there so regularly. Okay, no, now I'm overreacting. But do you understand how much I love H&M now?

 

The only problem is that the H&M that we have here, never has the palettes, coloured eyeliners or makeup key chains that the big ones do have, so when I go to a big city, I always check there first. I've told you before that I went to Brussels last week and there they had a H&M. With makeup!

I got this huge, 24 colours palette. I saw it last year when I went to Paris but I didn't get it back then, and ever since, I've been thinking about it.

Like I said, this palette holds 24 colours, which is quite a lot! Browns, purples, blues, greens, greys, it's all in there. This palette can come in very handy! Not only at home, when you're starting out with makeup, I also think I would take this with me if I was going on a holiday. Enough choice for a different look everyday and the only thing you have to bring is this palette.

It also comes with two sponge applicators.

The colours up close:

The pigmentation of this palette isn't really outstanding. It's not like you can compare it to MAC quality, unfortunately. The darker colours are very well pigmented but the lightest colours could have used a little bit more pigmentation.

The good news is that the colours are very buildable and if you just take some time to apply them, you can get a very beautiful look! Be careful for the fall out though!
