Essie Beyond Cozy & Leading Lady

Hello everyone ! =) Exciting news today, exciting news ! I found these two limited edition Essie nail polish colours Beyond Cozy & Leading Lady. And I must say I loooooove them ! I've never have nail polishes that dried so quickly before -especially beyond cozy- which is really important for me as I never really get enough time to let my nails dry properly. 

Beyond Cozy stayed on my nail perfectly for 7 freaking days with nothing but a chip on the night of the 6th day but that is it ! Amazing I'm telling you ! I love the colour too; this glittery silver colour is really easy to wear and super gorgeous.

Leading Lady is also very quick drying - although it might take 2 more minutes but I'm telling you they dry super duper fast ! The colour looks a little more purply burgundy like in real life than it does in the bottle (in which it looks really red) but it's still gorgeous with plenty of glitter. And it last very well as well as I'm on my 5th day now and you know my nails still look pretty perfect !

What are your favourite colours from the Essie nail polish collection ? Do you like them ?

Ps: Sorry the pictures aren't the best quality as I took them with my phone but I couldn't wait to get proper pictures; I really wanted to post this !

Maybelline Color Tattoo 24HR Cream Gel Eye Shadows

Hello guys, in my last post I haven't been really nice to one of the maybelline products so I thought I'd balance it and talk about a maybelline product I really love. It is the Maybelline Color Tattoo 24HR cream gel eye shadows.

I picked 3 colours : Eternal Gold, On and On Bronz and one that I couldn't find online that's called Pink Gold. They're not super bold colours (unlike Turquoise Forever which is a wonderful bright turquoise) but I like to stay more neutral with eye shadows. (But that turquoise is eyeing me I can't guarantee that I will not end up buying it ;))

They are easy to apply with a brush or with your fingers whether you want it quite light and natural or super bright (as they are easily buildable). The small glitters in it make them look even better.

I love the look you get with these eyeshadow and they really last all day ! I don't know about the 24 hours as I never leave my make-up on that long but the longest I tried (6am - 11pm (17 hours for those too tired to do the math ;)) they lasted perfectly well even though my lids tend to be a little oily.
The one thing that is a little bit annoying and that may be just me is that they tend to dry rather quickly when you put it on your eyes and once they're dry it's impossible to blend or move it; it just stays.

This is what I'm wearing today: eternal gold on the inner corner and on and on bronze 

on the outer corner both applied very lightly for a daytime look.

All in all it is an amazing product ! All the colours are lovely (I think that the colour range is different depending on where you live and the names may vary but they seem to all be amazing nonetheless) and the staying power is amazing (try and get rid of the swatches you did on your hand/arms ... ^^,)

What do you think of these cream gel eye shadows ? What's your favourite colour ?

Lancôme Hypnôse Doll Eyes Mascara

Hello again guys ! Today I'm gonna talk to you about a mascara I've only gotten the chance to try now; it's the Lancôme Hypnôse Doll Eyes.

The packaging is super lovely which is a great start even if the mascara where to be horrible (which it is far from being !) it'd look good in your make-up collection !

I really like the shape of the wand; it is really good to reach the lashes on your inner and outer corners. The result is as shown on the following picture. I have quite short lashes but that mascara does a good job in lengthening them as much as possible and it gives them volume.

I must say I have tried drugstore mascara that would achieve pretty much the same result (for instance the maybelline One by One Volum' Epxress mascara); it is therefore not necessary  to spend the extra amount of money on that specific one. BUT what was really better with that one is its staying power. It is amazing ! My lashes are blond-blond almost invisible when I don't wear mascara and I often need to top up my mascara throughout the day (just on the ends of my lashes) but not with that one. It stays on my lashes all day long, does not smudge and is easy to take off in the evening.

So a good mascara overall but if you don't have a problem with your mascara disappearing throughout the day I don't think it would be worth spending the extra amount of money. But it is a good treat for yourself or as a gift for a loved one.

What do you think of that mascara ? Ever tried it ?

Welcome & YSL Volupté Sheer Candy

Hello guys ! My name is Macha and I'm from Switzerland. I've read tons and tons of beauty related blogs and have wanted to start my own for quite some time now so here it is ! I'm a bit cray-cray about make-up and I try as many things as my bank account will allow me. So why not share my experience with you all so that you don't end up buying something horrible or finally find that super duper amazing thing you've been looking for for so long.

Let's start right away with my first review ever ! It is the YSL Volupté Sheer Candy Glossy Balm Crystal Color in n°4 Succulent Pomegranate.

Doesn't it look so yummy ? This was a present from my cousin for my 21st birthday and when I first saw it I must admit I was a little scared as I'm not used to wearing bright lipstick but this is simply amazing ! It is actually quite sheer so if you're looking for a more opaque colour this is not for you.

This is what it looks like on my lips. It makes them slightly pink (the result is a bit more noticeable in real life, a bit darker) and shiny. I absolutely adore this look ! What's more is that it is slightly moisturising which is a real plus for me as I tend to get quite dry lips AND it is not sticky !

For me this is an amazing product as it combines the advantages of a gloss and a lip balm (which it actually is) without the disadvantages. It is non-sticky, quite sheer yet colourful and moisturising. The one downside would be the price as it is over the 20£ mark but christmas is coming so why not put it on your christmas list.

Have you ever tried these YSL glossy balms ? What do you think of them ?
