Polishes -OPI - Conquistadorable Color
plawusha 9/10/2011 10:03:00 PM
I really like this raspberry red color. In daylight it's more of a raspberry color, and in artificial light it becomes red cream color. I wear it when I don't feel like wearing classic red colors, like Vodka&Caviar. Very opaque with two coats and it doesn't chip easily. Application was a breeze. I would definitely buy this nail polish again.

Polishes -OPI - Miami Beet
plawusha 9/17/2010 9:21:00 PM
I had my pedicure with Miami beet and the last picture here represents it well. Very dark shade, almost burgundy, with hints of violet and red. Doesn't turn into brownish, which is a plus. Gets really opaque with two coats, nice cream color, but I won't buy it for now.

Polishes -OPI - Bastille My Heart
plawusha 5/14/2010 12:24:00 AM
What a wonderful color. Rich dark red, like red wine color, with just enough shimmer to make it interesting. It is brighter than Malaga Wine and Manicurist of Seville, and my favorite. Very classy, elegant and sexy. Application was a breeze, and it stays for more than 4 days on nails without chipping. Will definitively repurchase.

Lip Gloss -Pupa - Lip perfection ultra reflex 04
plawusha 5/13/2010 7:11:00 PM
I have this in 05 shade, fuchsia pink color with lot of sparkles. It's a nice lip gloss, slightly less pigmented than in the bottle. Staying power is average, it is somewhat sticky, like all the glosses. It has some kind of citrus smell, but I don't mind it. Shade that I get using this lipgloss over Pupa Lipstick New Chic 17 is amazingly pigmented fuchia color, that I can't get with high end lip glosses. Overall, I prefer texture and colors of Revlon Superlustrous and Bourjois lipglosses, and this lipgloss is more expensive, so I'm not sure I will buy it again.

Mascara -Pupa - Diva's Lashes
plawusha 5/13/2010 7:01:00 PM
Great mascara! It gives more length than any other mascara I've tried. Really intensive black color on lashes, some volume, thickening and curling really give false lashes look. But for that kind of dramatic look I have to apply 2 or 3 coats, but since it doesn't clump or smudge, after some time, I had enough practice. Brush is really large, maybe like the brush in Diorshow mascara. For an everyday look, I put 1 coat, and it looks really good, like 2000 calories mascara by MF in older days. Great product, and it costs 14 euros, here in Serbia.

Liquid -Revlon - ColorStay Makeup
plawusha 4/26/2010 12:12:00 AM
I have this in oily/combination skin. This is the best foundation from drugstore brands. It covers well, camouflage my redness, so I don't have to use concealer and my face doesn't look oily, or shiny for a good period of time. Also Sand Beige matches my skin tone perfectly. Great product. My only con is the package, I'd prefer if it had a pump.

Fragrances -Christian Dior - j'adore
plawusha 2/13/2010 12:42:00 AM
I didn't like this fragrance the first time I got it as a birthday gift. But after a while I got tons of compliments, and I wore it through this winter in the office, when going out, on a date... It's appropriate in many occasions. It's very feminine, soft, somehow unique floral fragrance with good staying power on my skin. I will maybe repurchase.

Fragrances -Thierry Mugler - Angel
plawusha 2/13/2010 12:33:00 AM
I'm very lucky because my body chemistry works great with this perfume. Staying power is amazing! Very sweet, gourmand type of fragrance. But be careful not to put a lot of this, it is very strong, people who dislike it will smell it miles away. Great winter fragrance, but I can't imagine wearing it in the summer.

Foundations -Max Factor - Colour Adapt
plawusha 12/30/2009 10:11:00 PM
I have to say that I'm disappointed in this foundation. It causes my face to break, and after a few hours my skin looks really oily, but then again I have really oily skin. It's a shame because shade 75, Golden, is so beautiful even on my very pale skin, it blends well and doesn't look heavy, there is no masc effect I had with some other foundations. Package is great, with a pump. I hope MF will do something for us with oily skin.

Polishes -OPI - Not So Bora Bora-ing Pink
plawusha 12/2/2009 9:44:00 AM
My HG pink/rose nailpolish, looks very nice on my pale skin. Very safe colour to wear anytime, not girlish pink. Nice creamy rose nailpolish with a hint of metallic on the nails. It gets totally opaque in two coats. Good staying power, and very easy to apply with its pro-wide brush. Will defintly buy again. I hope it won't be discontinued any time soon.

Liquid -Max Factor - Second Skin
plawusha 11/25/2009 9:47:00 PM
I tried a sample of Second Skin in 75, Golden, and 70, Natural. These shades are definitively darker than in Colour Adapt, but it blends well, and my skin looks less oily than with Colour Adapt. It can camouflage small imperfections, but pores are still visible. After a few hours I had dark patches, and my skin is somehow rough when touched. I also suspect it blotched my pores. I guess Second Skin is not great product for me, I still prefer Colour Adapt to this.

Tinted Moisturizer -Nivea - Tinted Moisturizer
plawusha 10/3/2009 10:26:00 PM
I use this crème in lighter shade. I have pale skin, and for daily activities it gives me natural look, so my face doesn’t look too pale and white to wear lip gloss and mascara. My face color is more vivid with this. It doesn’t clodge my pores and it can camouflage some black spots and pimples. Bad side is that my face starts to shine really bad after an hour or two with this creme.

Polishes -OPI - Kinky in Helsinki
plawusha 9/10/2009 7:19:00 PM
I'm not a big fan of purple colors, they look either cheap or girlish. I prefer red and burgundy nail polishes, but when I saw this in Coloroscopia collection, I decided to give it a try and I don't regret it because this nail polish is something special. It's very adult, serious kind of dark purple that goes a little plum. Shimmer in this is great. I have to put 3 coats to get this color opaque, (although it is ok with 2 coats) so I have to be carefull not to get bubbles and to wait for it to dry out. But all in all this is worthwhile for this cheerful color.

Mascara -Max Factor - 2000 Calorie Mascara
plawusha 8/31/2009 8:43:00 PM
I have to say that I prefer more dramatic mascaras, more intensive black colour, like carbon black mascaras. MF 2000 calorie doesn't give that dramatic look, but it never smudges or makes spider eyes look. I can wear it all day long and it stays the same. With two coats I get really nice volume and curl. I'm on my second tube, and will definitively repurchase.

Nivea Milk & Vitamins is simply gorgeous shower product. It smells wonderful, and softens skin, very gentle yet cleans well. You can use it every day and it won't dry your skin. Great product for affordable price!
