Petits Bourjois

Recently, I've been absolutely OBSESSED with "Petits Bourjois" !!

About a week ago, I ordered some of their newer and also some of their older products online - and today the package finally arrived! I am very excited about trying all of these goodies, but let me swatch them for you first:
Let's start out with the "Color Boosts". I have to admit that I got all of the avaiable colors - and now that I've tried them on, I'm really glad I did!

 

Let's start out with "Fuschia Libre". It's a very bright and strong pink-ish color.

"Orange Punch" is a beautiful and fun tangerine color.

"Peach on the beach" is my favorite of the Color Boosts. It's a discrete salmon color. However, unfortunately, the camera doesn't pick it up very well and it always looks orangy on the pictures... sorry 'bout that!

And finally: "Red sunrise": A very pigmented, classic red tone. Suprisingly this one has somewhat of an almost matt finish to it!

The next thing I picked up are three of their "Effet Smokey" eyeliners. I chose the colors "New wave blue", "Sparkling Navy" and "Sparkling granite".
So what I like about these liners, is that they already come with a smudge brush: You got the pencil on one end and then, on the other end, they attached a little brush. This is very convenient for "on the go" situations.

The "new wave blue" is a greyish, matt blue - simple, decent and chique.

The "sparkling granite" is a deep black with silver sparkles - the camera doesn't pick up the sparkles very well, though - sorry again!

The "sparkling navy" is a grey liner with lilac sparkles - or rather accents. Again, the camera doesn't pick that up very well either :(. Very intriguing and mysterious nighttime color, though!

And to end this wonderful day I finally got myself a little sweet-treat on the way home: 

Two small bars of organic drinking chocolate from Germany!

Mango Lassi and White Vanilla -- yum!

For tonight I decided to go with the Mango Lassi. Right now I am patiently waiting for the milk to heat up, but I couldn't help myself from taking a little bite already ;) It's delicious!

On that note: Have a good night :D

Lipstick Mania

So, I went shopping today and thought that I would share! 

First thing I got was the L'Oreal Paris "Caresse" lipstick in (301) "Dating Coral".

.....this is a very subtile, shimmery coral/rosy color. 

I just love how it feels so creamy and soft when you put it on! 

It's not as glossy and pigmented as I expected it to be, however it is very hydrating and feels almost like a light lipbalm.

This should be perfect for a simple and decent everyday look!

 

I also got one of the "Sweet Kiss Shine"-lipsticks in (74) "Juicy tangerine" by "Petits Bourjois".
It is a very bold pink-orangy color that will probably be perfect for a flashy, colorful summer-outfit! The finish is very glossy.

At the Mac Counter I got a very mat nude color - it's a "cremesheen" lipstick in "Modesty". It's described as a "muted neutral pink" -- Personally, I would rather describe it as a "vintage rose" color.
I really love the texture and how hydrating it is, even though it has kind of a mat finish to it! This is definately going to be one of my new fav's!

 

And last but not least - a "Make up forever" lipstick in "Rouge Artist Natural".
The main reason why I bought it, is that it is soooo moisturizing (my lips tend to dry out really easily).
The finish is very very glossy and also very sparkely. This is most definitely the perfect lipstick for an enchanting evening look.
