Testing new make up things: Essence, P2, Alverde & Catrice

Hello everyone,

I try to get back to normal, but off course that´s not so easy. I managed to do a little make up today with some new things that I did not use yet and here is a review. I even tried to smile for you once.




Catrice Prime anf Fine  Smoothing Refiner: Usually I use the Perfect Face make up base by P2 and I was allways pleased with it, but I figured it can´t hurt to try another one. I really LOVE the Catrice one and really feel it keeps up to it´s promise on the packing ("for invisible pores and lines"). Future will tell whether it can keep up with a work day. What I don´t like it that you have to stick your finger into the jar which is notvery hygenic. Apart from this it´s great!


P2 Cosmic Dream eye shadow "dreamy venus": No Iam not impressed. The highlighter is full of clunky glitter and the highlighter and medium colour are not very pigmented. The dark color is better, but this doesn´t help it. Sorry, thumbs down for this!!!

P2 Pure color lipstick "Walk of fame": I love the pure color lipsticks and this is no exception! I hope for many more to come. P2, please never stop this range!

Essence Liquid ink eyeliner: Love it! Great brush applicator, great color pay off and easy to put on. Will buy again. I did not really test the water proof aspect because even with non water proof ones I rarely have problems.

Alverde Modern Art Blush "New Red": Love it. Great for photoshootings. Very good pay off. I hope there will be more great blushes like this in their regular line!

Swatches & Review New P2 Eye Shadows & Nail polish

Hello everyone,

John went to the mall with me today to buy more X-Box Games. Meanwhile I stopped by the local DM and realized... They have the new P2 eye shadows and nailpolishes!!! I took along a few and here are some swatches!


P2 Brilliant Shine Eye Cream Cheeky Copper, P2 Brilliant Shine Eye Cream  Bombastic Blue, P2 Cosmic Dream Eye Shadow Dreamy Venus (picture below from left to right)

Brilliant Shine Eye Cream: Don´t let the name fool you. it is not that creamy at all (thank goodness! No smearing and getting to places it is not supposed to go.). It is very smudgeproof, intensive colors and water resistant. I already want MORE!

Cosmic Dream Eye Shadow: The colors are not as intense as the eye cream, but Iam confident in them.Will have to test them with an eyemake up. The colours are pretty, a glittery highlighter and a mauve and complimenting choclatish color. Can´t wait to play with it.


P2 Last Forever Nail Polish Secret Charm: Not too impressed. I needed to put maaaany layers on my nails to make it less stripe-y. Originally I considered it as nail-polish to use for shootings when Iam not doing something pin up-y because for pin up off course red polish is a must. With the 10.000.000 layers on it it looks far from natural though and I do not like this one.
