XX Revolution.

 

Beautybay selger merket XX Revolution som er søstermerke til Revolution makeup, et kjent drugstore brand til billige priser. XX Revolution er etter min erfaring mere high end, men med  svært god produktdesign og kvalitet. Prisen er veldig bra så dette er noe de fleste kan teste.

 

 Jeg har en highlight, en blush, en foundation og en eyeshadow palette.

Det jeg liker best er designet, de kommer i svært solid metall og oppleves med både en retro feel og samtidig veldig moderne. Jeg får følelsen av å bruke super high end brand pga innpakningen. 

Digger innpakningen.

 

 Selve produktene er superbra, La oss ta Highlight først.

Jeg har Echo (...echo..echo echo...) en blek rose gold, du får mye for pengene 15 gram for 121,-

Jeg bruker min daglig, og den gir en subtil shine som er perfekt for kinnben, neserygg, øyekroken og overleppe. Veldig begeistret for denne.

 

Sjå! 

Påføring med finger gir mere nedtonet effekt, med kost kan du bygge den opp til å bli real glitzy.

XX Revolution har 12 shades så her er en hightlight for alle om du er mørk eller lys.

 

Foundation, her har de også en rekke toner... over 50, og ulike typer for ulik hud. Glassflaske gir igjen denne high end-følelses av å bruke noe dyrt. Praktisk pumpe som pumper ut nok med en til to pumps. Jeg har Glow skin fauxxdation foundation i fx 0.2, den er faktisk litt for lys for meg, og oppleves noe tørr noe som er litt  rart:

"illuminating pearl particles to give skin a perfect glowing finish. The lightweight foundation is infused with hyaluronic acid to keep skin hydrated, while added collagen and peptides to help keep the skin looking firm and plump."

Oksiderer noe når den tørker men ikke mye.

 

Jeg bruker den en god del, men min hud liker best foundations for veldig tørr hud. Bruker alltid en fet krem under samt en glow creme. Kan tenke meg denne er bedre for meg om sommeren når huden min ikke er like tørr som et mumifisert kadaver. Koster 152,-  for 27 ml.

 

Next up, Eyeshadow quad. Jeg har "Xxtortion" i stunning grønne toner, jeg har lite grønt i kolleksjonen så det var et lett valg. Disse kommer i 16 ulike farger, 4 pans som passer godt sammen til en eyelook. I XXtortion er det også ulike teksturer, fra shimmer, foil, matte og satin. Det liker jeg meget godt. 

 

Herrefred.

 

Ingenting negativt å si om disse, anbefales! Koster 101,- for 4 pan quad.

I blush har jeg "Cynic" (because hello, me)

Elsker denne, i en blodrød tone med veldig kult mønster, denne gir vinterrøde kinn og du kan bygge den opp eller ha subtil rød flush. Digger den og bruker denne daglig nå som det er vinter. Og det ser ut som du har på deg the blood of your enemies. Passer perfekt til lys hud, blush kommer i 16 farger og ulike teksturer så her er noe for alle. Anbefales veldig. 3.2 gram for 81,-

More red in RL

Jeg kommer til å kjøpe flere produkter i denne serien, mye jeg har lyst å teste så plutselig kommer det mere på min Instagram eller her på bloggen. Følg meg på Insta, som de unge sier. (Eller sier de det? Jeg er så out of the loop, man)

Maybelline - Lash sensational sky high mascara

Well this is new, a drug store mascara that's sold out everywhere after going viral on TikTok.  

Maybelline sky high mascara is all the rave (do ppl still say that?) and even Norwegian papers write about it being sold out from every store. 

So what's the big deal?

I mean long lashes is something everyone wants, right? And for 150 NOK? Bring it on.

The packaging is sleek with raised lettering, in a muted metallic pink, it looks really cool actually so well done on the design aspect of this product. 

 

The wand is slimmer than what I would expect from a lengthening mascara, and it's super bendy and soft so that threw me off at first thinking it wouldn't coat the lashes well. But it does. 

It goes on super smooth and instantly makes the lashes longer and thicker, one coat is enough for everyday use, if you want more drama go 2, 3 coats. Boom. Lashes for days!

It doesn't crumble, I do not end up looking like a racoon at the end of the day and it comes off easy with a makeup remover wipe. 

The only downside I can find is for me, at 44, my eyes are more hooded and I am used to a mascara that dries stiff to keep my lashes curled, but it's not a major issue. I just have to get used to the feeling of not having rock solid lashes. I've been reaching for this mascara over the Stila one since I got it so I do really like it. Google pics of ppl trying it and see for your self. It's really good.

My camera refuses to zoom so this is the best I can do.

I got mine off Beautybay. If it's sold out just go on the notification list to be told when its back in stock.

Go get it!

Terra Moon Cosmetics - Light year eyeshadow.

When I got this eyeshadow I swatched it and immediately tried to find an eyeshadow in my collection that's similar. No can do. I tried shadows I own that kinda look the same, I tried to layer shadows to see if I could make a dupe. Nope. Not even remotely close. 

This is truly unique and well worth the wait. I found out about Latina owned Terra Moon Cosmetics via Instagram, I saw the eyeshadow "Light year" and knew I had to own it. 

 

I had to pre-order and wait I'd say a good month or so before it arrived today. This is what I would call a multi chrome shadow, shifting from green, gold, pink to blue. Their web site lists it as: 

"Iridescent chameleons are color shifting shadows that change their appearance depending on the lighting. They appear white in the pan however they have many different colors to them." 

I just wish my camera would pick up the crazy shift this shadow has, it's truly amazing. I guess I just have to refer you to the site to see their swatches there. 

Below are my attempts at swatches and an eyelook I made using the Light year eyeshadow. I do see my self using this as a topper more than an eyeshadow on its own as I can see that getting a regular look to the next level. 

I did test the eyeshadow with both the glitz glue and the mixing medium from Sample beauty (I wrote about them here) and the liquid made it the most foil like. 

 "Light year" costs $17, shipping was $14 so this is not a cheap shadow at all, but something I really do think everyone should have at least one of in their collection because of its versatility. I can't wait to test this over a dark purple shadow or a black.

 The only downside to these single pan shadows are that they have to go in a palette or they will get ruined.

Highly recommended!
