The sister brands have collaborated with one another many times, understandably so. Their big Disney collabs are very popular, I myself own a little something from almost every one of their Disney collections. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">While this summer marks the 4th year anniversary of my low buy / no buy era, the "low buy" part in it refers to limited editions that I would regret not having. If I lay my eyes on something that I find unique, and it still lives in my mind a month later, I will most likely buy it or request it as a gift if a holiday is around that time. The Essence animal-themed Disney collection was one of the three LEs that grabbed my attention this year, I picked up two eyeshadow palettes and this Bambi blushlighter.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKQK_juhE3emfUxqO8rH9e64kmIeVS8egwp5NPLux6qWQ-KphqLHC-lhPlfiOoZa5h8SX9E6VIpf1BJmByG4D1Jm-iXofI6A_6h-jooqA-QetVq2V8_25mkiLYApLXuu0wtCq5Tah2CKSB5-m703mTaT460oGSaAWe4Xi9Kk3OKtLXfoSNS_f8KCJh/s2098/Essence%20Bambi%20blush%20highlighter%20ingredients.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="essence bambi highlighter ingredients" border="0" data-original-height="1453" data-original-width="2098" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKQK_juhE3emfUxqO8rH9e64kmIeVS8egwp5NPLux6qWQ-KphqLHC-lhPlfiOoZa5h8SX9E6VIpf1BJmByG4D1Jm-iXofI6A_6h-jooqA-QetVq2V8_25mkiLYApLXuu0wtCq5Tah2CKSB5-m703mTaT460oGSaAWe4Xi9Kk3OKtLXfoSNS_f8KCJh/s16000/Essence%20Bambi%20blush%20highlighter%20ingredients.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b><u>Packaging:</u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">The strength of the collection must lie in the sweet packaging. Familiar faces of your beloved childhood cartoon characters will look back at you if you hold these products in your hand. The artwork is beautiful, done in the <b>classic Disney style</b> the cartoons themselves were illustrated in. No new art style, very simple and familiar. I welcome the idea of focusing on animals this time, instead of Disney princesses. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Now, one thing I don't like about the packaging, is the fact that it feels like <b>sandpaper</b>. You wouldn't guess it just by looking at it, but the entire casing feels odd. I have a feeling the tiny <b>sparkles</b> are to blame, because the entire packaging is covered in shimmer. It's the type of shimmer that doesn't come off, luckily.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD_4oSQnAqzwnDre4_wf0KIFvHQ9Oi347VQV5fOIG3VWGmhvAnxT1ESOI3p_DbyAxMaNeLlqe4vGxg5clJNR0Seo4LTrER3sfJs-r1vz4Z5rRRs1d6ekfiHtXpVX7G2-eiyjQ0TRrhmgyQduaYtqXE64Kw6FGqEUBZvdsKZrRow2uepVbskMdnMER1/s2230/Essence%20Bambi%20maxi%20blush%20highlighter%20pattern%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="essence bambi blush highlighter opened casing" border="0" data-original-height="1574" data-original-width="2230" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD_4oSQnAqzwnDre4_wf0KIFvHQ9Oi347VQV5fOIG3VWGmhvAnxT1ESOI3p_DbyAxMaNeLlqe4vGxg5clJNR0Seo4LTrER3sfJs-r1vz4Z5rRRs1d6ekfiHtXpVX7G2-eiyjQ0TRrhmgyQduaYtqXE64Kw6FGqEUBZvdsKZrRow2uepVbskMdnMER1/s16000/Essence%20Bambi%20maxi%20blush%20highlighter%20pattern%202.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Essence Bambi maxi blush highligher - 01 Nature<br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Both the eyeshadow palettes and the blushlighters come with large <b>mirrors</b>, which are handy on the go.

Seems like they abandoned that particular product name, because these hybrids are now called maxi blush highlighters, in this collection at least. As the name suggests, these products are essentially <b>shimmery blushes</b>. As blush, they are very unforgiving on most skin types because they enhance every little skin imperfection. I don't particularly understand while the brand is pushing these products, but hey, they must have a reason. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">The Bambi maxi blush highlighter (<b>01 Nature</b>) however, is one of the best picks if you really would like to try one of these hybrid products, because it is light enough to be a highlighter on light skin tones, but can be used as a blush topper too. This shade is essentially a <b>peach shimmery blush / highlighter</b>, even though it looks like a bronzer in the pan. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Before I made my purchase online, I tried to look up swatches of the 3 blushlighters of the collection. I have found one singular video that was useful at the time (in April), and I was surprised to see that even though the Bambi one looks the darkest in the pan, it is <b>the lightest of the 3</b> on the skin. Very rarely do I come across products like that.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">As you can see, the product consists of <b>2 tones</b>, a light shimmery peach that looks like the spots on deer, and a darker bronze color. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">You can see a variety of swatch photos below, but to simply put it: it's a <b>peachy shimmery shade</b>. The swatches below show the product <b>swirled together</b>, but if you <b>only use the light peachy shade</b> with a small brush, you essentially get a perfect <b>dupe for MAC Jest</b>. It's a beautiful inner corner highlight!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZDwF8GWiJjKX5Ba6AODTAMCHnW8abh8GOBirKrBqamG_3bKgdMbClbtBbQdMhiOpclfCFKtmI9MMC-Oz63QRQXGCGnAcpg36XeMDHeKzV_y57VCq-Eqp3c7-hp7WpKIxvNNlCjyOeEDWA4BcCGWHlSamUthhXam2AdU3mmKVyy3AvBjC4_4FjoejK/s2161/Essence%20Bambi%20highlighter%20swatch%203.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="essence bambi blush highlighter swatch" border="0" data-original-height="1532" data-original-width="2161" height="454" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZDwF8GWiJjKX5Ba6AODTAMCHnW8abh8GOBirKrBqamG_3bKgdMbClbtBbQdMhiOpclfCFKtmI9MMC-Oz63QRQXGCGnAcpg36XeMDHeKzV_y57VCq-Eqp3c7-hp7WpKIxvNNlCjyOeEDWA4BcCGWHlSamUthhXam2AdU3mmKVyy3AvBjC4_4FjoejK/w640-h454/Essence%20Bambi%20highlighter%20swatch%203.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Essence Bambi blush highlighter swatch - 01 Nature</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI8I9bExRwaGLQZ8HUzFrSmjZMibq9Lqr8wCsSeWyPNP3sZ-7KjrGZVd--B6F0EewCaHig8QlVD3O3fSFLDsByjwsOpwpXt4r9IJN6f0zG-73g3JmwXi7AMHt_KQJwWjyilhKoVKYSp5aPbCxV46dtI4zU-CMdSdIVhF5Az8FQQRrSa0x0pJoHTrrK/s2221/Essence%20Bambi%20highlighter%20swatch%204.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1588" data-original-width="2221" height="458" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI8I9bExRwaGLQZ8HUzFrSmjZMibq9Lqr8wCsSeWyPNP3sZ-7KjrGZVd--B6F0EewCaHig8QlVD3O3fSFLDsByjwsOpwpXt4r9IJN6f0zG-73g3JmwXi7AMHt_KQJwWjyilhKoVKYSp5aPbCxV46dtI4zU-CMdSdIVhF5Az8FQQRrSa0x0pJoHTrrK/w640-h458/Essence%20Bambi%20highlighter%20swatch%204.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><u>Important to note:</u> if you have <b>skin color similar to mine, or lighter</b>, you will <b>need to use a blush</b> with this product to use as a highlighter.

Heat not only makes me want to commit livn't, but also hinders me from wearing makeup, that's why the number is only 14.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIOKZotqyp5K9srG1vCRnRzPQFbB7UFqwtlvKCpE5CwWUk8hwyJ1xxGQq64FI8m3te7qjlKMloRmsrooKFara7cdft0FDshrxATNqS86Y3jURn-t3oT4RCkeVb1UQcXXmedOKHntvsWaSZIMBbcdfpvrw1O0gapxRMUkS7HCJj6HxN6gwSrKxeAzhx/s1674/blush_eyeshadow_1st.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="essence cream blush and eyeshadow hit pan" border="0" data-original-height="1241" data-original-width="1674" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIOKZotqyp5K9srG1vCRnRzPQFbB7UFqwtlvKCpE5CwWUk8hwyJ1xxGQq64FI8m3te7qjlKMloRmsrooKFara7cdft0FDshrxATNqS86Y3jURn-t3oT4RCkeVb1UQcXXmedOKHntvsWaSZIMBbcdfpvrw1O0gapxRMUkS7HCJj6HxN6gwSrKxeAzhx/s16000/blush_eyeshadow_1st.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Both the cream blush and the eyeshadow are favourites of mine, so I enjoy using them.

Unfortunately I am realizing that powders just make my skin look really heavy. I never thought I'd get to this point, but I'd rather have an oil slick of a face that I would blot every two hours, instead of wearing powder. Can you relate?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">The <b>Essence Blossoms Etc. powder</b>, on the other hand, is going really slow, despite using it a lot. I use a lot of it too each time, both as finishing powder, under-eye setting powder or highlighter. It's pressed really hard in the pan, so you probably can't see much progress on the photos. I have worn off the flower pattern in the middle, and there is a slight dip in the product as well. Even so, I am not sure I'll hit my goal of a medium pan by the end of October.

I made a surprisingly low amount of progress on it, the reason being: I need to dilute it with a tinted moisturiser because it thickened up over the years. This made it a full coverage product too, and it can look a bit heavy during the summer, especially on textured skin. The progress therefore only goes half as fast. I have a feeling the Catrice Allround BB won't be finished by the end of October.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6wTjC3CDAjNVBZMn4PoqbkTPWadu5M_bTZpj02FU8ZzlrdFqZXRpc3ABbgPL5LZLh782YPvCJFFrgXCuvzIVIpmeTB084iJK4-aea4tjmeVWsZfDKSuB8ocyb-K6eollPLF8ZC2jiQNNKmp27tWDmJSQ5ftj8Bnh2m9HEn0j9DkJKFgiyqyEaY1Fu/s1271/project_pan_swatches.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="graveyard project pan swatches" border="0" data-original-height="885" data-original-width="1271" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6wTjC3CDAjNVBZMn4PoqbkTPWadu5M_bTZpj02FU8ZzlrdFqZXRpc3ABbgPL5LZLh782YPvCJFFrgXCuvzIVIpmeTB084iJK4-aea4tjmeVWsZfDKSuB8ocyb-K6eollPLF8ZC2jiQNNKmp27tWDmJSQ5ftj8Bnh2m9HEn0j9DkJKFgiyqyEaY1Fu/s16000/project_pan_swatches.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Are you doing panning projects?

I am here with the first project pan for the year: I swore to myself that in 2022, I will document my panning on the blog too. Before that, I was mainly doing it offline, for myself since 2013. I have only one project documented (from 2014), and that needs to change, so here we go.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">The videos and community in the panning sphere have been a huge inspiration for me in the past 9 years, and it feels satisfying to see other people actually use up their makeup products entirely, rather than just tossing them in the trash and calling it a day. I have been watching several people on youtube who are on top of the panning game, some of my favourites are <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/PrettyPistol86">PrettyPistol86</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/BeautyNBaseballJessicaLee">Jessica Lee</a>. I highly recommend you check out their videos if you have interest in the topic.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Hopefully by documenting my progress online, I will also motivate some of you to join in on projects and to pan with me. It will also push me to wear makeup more often, which has been on the decline ever since the plague started, I think some of you can relate.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Why pan your makeup collection? It teaches you about your products, and how long they take to use up, slowing down your purchases. It also helps you to rotate through your collection. It also can be a great challenge, especially if done in a community. This is mainly relevant for people who have a large collection of beauty products, of course. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I dislike that one particular type of decluttering is all over youtube, and this type is the one which encourages throwing out half of your stuff every six months, only to buy the same amount of new things 2 weeks later, only to be thrown out again. It doesn't teach the viewers much, other than being incredibly wasteful. There are better ways to handle things. Frankly, it makes my blood boil when I see people throw out things that are practically brand new, and products that other people would cherish and enjoy (after disinfecting them of course). That's why I'm happy to see people donating their makeup rather than junking it. Or giving it to friends and family, or doing blog sales. And that is why exactly I adore the panning community, because people there focus on using up products completely.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Another topic that has been bothering me for years is the expiry dates situation, how people handle them, and how companies are pushing you for new purchases with them. It breaks my heart when people junk products that are still in perfect condition, just because the little best before date is due. Always go by the <b>smell, texture, color </b>and in case of lip products,<b> taste of a product rather than the "best before" date</b> that is <b>only put on there so companies don't get sued in case of an allergic reaction</b>. The ingredients don't magically drop dead the second the clock strikes midnight. There are, of course, special cases; but most of the time, if you follow <b>good hygiene,</b> have a<b> sanitary environment</b> and keep your makeup products in a <b>cool place</b> so the oils in them don't go rancid, there will be no issue with most products even well after the expiry date. Sanitize those bad boys with alcohol every once in a while. Keep them clean, the packaging and casing too. This is, of course, focuses on people who are not professional artists, but use products only on themselves in a personal setting. If you are a pro makeup artist, definitely be strict with everything. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">If you are wondering if I still have a product you saw in a post in 2011, the answer is most likely yes. I don't throw out anything unless it's unsavable, and even then, I can use pigments in paint or crafts, and so on.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I have also been on a <b>no buy / low buy</b> for almost <b>4 years</b> now, I only recently allowed myself a haul, so panning posts fit well with that. The "low buy" refers to limited products that I don't wanna pass up, or if a favourite product gets discontinued. Other than that, I haven't bought new makeup in almost 4 years. After all, I am following my own rules, so I think once I hit the official anniversary of the 4th year, I will be less strict with myself. I also have many, really old haul posts on my laptop too, from way before 2018, so I can post those any time just for eye candy. I would not want to waste the pretty photos either, I put time and effort into taking them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirak2gF4svNDkUC11kuFcmjA0ts4QGsDtZqTYeJYmzUr_CBhR2lSOhK69RyAlT8-4vK2fgbSpET681u5etmEyWFc79YuoECIcEMbsjlcqsuo4nubIR02Yj_F6X6mNaLKcHdBq5Q0RbkBuB3V1Y88umYz3eh2AfSG-AAYwAotxI8ke3EPkYzuAaGMnF/s1267/makeup_hit_pan.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="graveyard project pan" border="0" data-original-height="1267" data-original-width="1235" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirak2gF4svNDkUC11kuFcmjA0ts4QGsDtZqTYeJYmzUr_CBhR2lSOhK69RyAlT8-4vK2fgbSpET681u5etmEyWFc79YuoECIcEMbsjlcqsuo4nubIR02Yj_F6X6mNaLKcHdBq5Q0RbkBuB3V1Y88umYz3eh2AfSG-AAYwAotxI8ke3EPkYzuAaGMnF/w624-h640/makeup_hit_pan.jpg" width="624" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">#GraveyardProjectPan Intro 2022</span></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Now let's talk about the <b>graveyard project pan</b>. This project starts on the <b>30th of April</b> and ends on the <b>31st of October</b>, right on Halloween, to go with the name. You can add <b>5-10 products</b> (rolling), and there are 2 categories for said products: <b>resurrection</b> (products that weren't finished in previous panning projects) and <b>collecting cobwebs</b> (products neglected in your collection tha thave been just sitting there). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I realize I am 10 days late posting this, however, I took the photos on the 30th of April, so the progress on them starts right on time, luckily. I chose 6 products, for the 6 months this project lasts for. I state my goal on each of them below.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLQNpxaMvC-qOD4ba3igkY716MtmoEiVve_gXiAmvftYd_7A69pDyWoCf6imXz5ZFmhZyagSmbtnKebRF6zF-ZsbpDINVGYv7eF4ndUqoPAQFhbZ-vVocB1wvcsqkXRh3cDPlNDlfBwmFtqi2IMOh-i9DmcGxd23uJnJZ0OfIhS4iAf_ojMkq7D7lB/s1968/graveyard_project_pan_2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="essence catrice powder hit pan" border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1968" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLQNpxaMvC-qOD4ba3igkY716MtmoEiVve_gXiAmvftYd_7A69pDyWoCf6imXz5ZFmhZyagSmbtnKebRF6zF-ZsbpDINVGYv7eF4ndUqoPAQFhbZ-vVocB1wvcsqkXRh3cDPlNDlfBwmFtqi2IMOh-i9DmcGxd23uJnJZ0OfIhS4iAf_ojMkq7D7lB/s16000/graveyard_project_pan_2.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><u><b>Catrice Prime And Fine waterproof mattifying powder</b> - 9 gr</u></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><u>Category:</u> resurrection</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><u>Goal:</u> to use it up</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><u><b><br /></b></u></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">This is a product that has been re-pressed after hitting pan on it once, and since then I hit pan on it again. It's a great <b>waterproof</b> powder, a staple in the summer. I think I bought it around 2014, but am not sure. Can't find any photos and posts either. This version has been discontinued and renamed several times, it's still available under a different name. I used up 2 tubs of its loose powder version as well.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><u><b>Essence Blossoms Etc. multi-color powder (01 Flower Power)</b> - 10 gr</u></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><u>Category:</u> collecting cobwebs</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><u>Goal:</u> to hit medium-sized pan</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><u><br /></u></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">A sentimental piece, this multi-color highlighter powder was part of a beautiful spring collection called <b>Blossoms Etc.</b> from 2011. It's my favourite spring collection up to this day, my <a href="https://evinde.blogspot.com/2011/03/essence-blossoms-etc-powder-review.html">review can be read here</a>. I decided to pan it because for one, I was saving it but want to enjoy it too, and for two, because I have a backup of it. The <b>flower embossing</b> on it was a big reason for me to save it for years too, I attached a photo of it below when it was new. It is a subtle highlighter that gives a lovely sheen, however, I plan on using it as a <b>finishing powder</b> to merge everything together on the face (think of the Guerlain Meteorites or the Hourglass Ambient Lighting powders). It smells slightly sweet, even after all these years. I wish Essence would release this collection again.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpBDCPNGubT1DLp1sa7CXIsvrcskH6-hXOqVa1lncqK5GLbYncn-9944v08WPiAsIfshNJ75xzytPEa8s2B23GqaIIqhxukve52ntAUPvO5YW4CVpBls1X9r1CY1XWlVoGRdgAE6S1fjm7/s1048/DSCF4570.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="essence blossoms etc powder" border="0" data-original-height="817" data-original-width="1048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpBDCPNGubT1DLp1sa7CXIsvrcskH6-hXOqVa1lncqK5GLbYncn-9944v08WPiAsIfshNJ75xzytPEa8s2B23GqaIIqhxukve52ntAUPvO5YW4CVpBls1X9r1CY1XWlVoGRdgAE6S1fjm7/s16000/DSCF4570.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Essence Blossoms Etc. powder when it was new</span></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNIsk0F8iEahTeotjqFmGKs3tqPZcI8vEx458AP8N89IIEtPmk3aEj5gKxFRJ0IRj_YnSI2QLQP8hcLosGZJWbPM8oHI2G0aOhJFtkxUmrSWoIwkuW1Wfkz-NCadhbJauz4sb-OfJXZAxoih9JFfPOHYq-2cs1zs-UUoVFub_jSkAH4If08C61sw1Z/s1718/graveyard_project_pan_3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="essence cream blush and eyeshadow project pan" border="0" data-original-height="1206" data-original-width="1718" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNIsk0F8iEahTeotjqFmGKs3tqPZcI8vEx458AP8N89IIEtPmk3aEj5gKxFRJ0IRj_YnSI2QLQP8hcLosGZJWbPM8oHI2G0aOhJFtkxUmrSWoIwkuW1Wfkz-NCadhbJauz4sb-OfJXZAxoih9JFfPOHYq-2cs1zs-UUoVFub_jSkAH4If08C61sw1Z/s16000/graveyard_project_pan_3.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><u><b>Essence Ready For Boarding lip & cheek cream blush (02 Beauty On Tour) </b>- 2.5 gr</u></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><u>Category:</u> collecting cobwebs</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><u>Goal:</u> to hit medium-sized pan</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">The <b>Beauty On Tour</b> cream blush is from the 2012 <b>Ready For Boarding</b> trend edition, it turns 10 years old this year, that's unreal to me. But hey, I am 10 years older now as well. I truly hate the passing of time. Anyway... this cream blush is one of those products I kept saving for special occasions throughout the years. It smells and tastes delicious and fruity, has a pleasant creamy texture that is easy to work with both on the cheeks and lips, and I intend to use it on both. It is heavily pigmented, so I imagine it will take a while to even just hit pan on it. It is getting old and I am afraid it will lose its scent or taste, and it also will be the perfect coral colour for the summer. I have a <a href="https://evinde.blogspot.com/2012/07/essence-ready-for-boarding-lip-and.html">review about it here</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><u><b>Essence Pure Beauty duo eyeshadow (01 Honey Bun)</b> - 2.5 gr</u></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><u>Category:</u> resurrection</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><u>Goal:</u> to use it up</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">This eyeshadow is a nostalgic piece for me from the 2009 <b>Pure Beauty</b> trend edition, and it throws me back to a very specific time, place and memory. It was my second Essence product I've ever bought and I purchased several pieces of the Pure Beauty collection that day. It is a magnificent matte brown shade for the crease that came with a matte light pink shade too. I have hit pan on it in the past, re-pressed it and hit pan once again. I have mentioned and showed this eyeshadow in many posts over the 12 years, you can check them here: <a href="https://evinde.blogspot.com/2011/06/katy-perry-et-inspired-look.html">1</a> <a href="https://evinde.blogspot.com/2014/11/soft-daytime-smokey-eyes-essence-how-to.html">2</a> <a href="https://evinde.blogspot.com/2011/03/tag-11-most-reached-for-products.html">3</a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp75k-3p38qioxFKL5sNlz_s11P1iR69uESpw3dmquyfZO7hlKjdxcBDaO2W4H5l34owNikJqBrhSeK7APAS3eu0fKBnHtI-4zJFlLDfypwqzbw6Ys08qCrRZRMlZDRCuTbtzUGqvkGPUNCFWrb4VRHGD83LMfx4N9oJloUrWKuKixkNgJXvUS6QNX/s460/essence_purebeauty.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="452" data-original-width="460" height="393" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp75k-3p38qioxFKL5sNlz_s11P1iR69uESpw3dmquyfZO7hlKjdxcBDaO2W4H5l34owNikJqBrhSeK7APAS3eu0fKBnHtI-4zJFlLDfypwqzbw6Ys08qCrRZRMlZDRCuTbtzUGqvkGPUNCFWrb4VRHGD83LMfx4N9oJloUrWKuKixkNgJXvUS6QNX/w400-h393/essence_purebeauty.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Essence Pure Beauty Honey Bun eyeshadow - how it originally looked</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLb-Hfi0RaA0xeDxTDakos9nFlkeV7SkgZM68RrHpkZHdVrIlzwcAAHcKngAaPha9fhSpZiThwTnN8lgchx81JLpS57cndteGxSAnPzsP7iryrNrlJHCA-uq6bkTJkQvrXH8bq5ERGcU96CKMYyVfw2k7kAnEzgvVr63U9BQ1mKqgFuj4R9KqY4KZL/s1644/projectpan_bbcream.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="catrice bb cream and essence hand cream" border="0" data-original-height="1213" data-original-width="1644" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLb-Hfi0RaA0xeDxTDakos9nFlkeV7SkgZM68RrHpkZHdVrIlzwcAAHcKngAaPha9fhSpZiThwTnN8lgchx81JLpS57cndteGxSAnPzsP7iryrNrlJHCA-uq6bkTJkQvrXH8bq5ERGcU96CKMYyVfw2k7kAnEzgvVr63U9BQ1mKqgFuj4R9KqY4KZL/s16000/projectpan_bbcream.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><u><b>Catrice BB Allround Foundation SPF 30 (010 Light Beige)</b> - 30 ml</u></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><u>Category:</u> resurrection</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><u>Goal:</u> use it up</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">My beloved Catrice Allround BB cream is nearing its end, and I would like to use it up entirely, as I have a <b>backup</b> of it ready to go. I have a <a href="https://evinde.blogspot.com/2014/07/catrice-bb-6in1-allround-foundation.html">detailed review of it here</a>, it's an almost full-coverage Western BB cream. It was bought and discontinued in 2014. It has lovely ingredients too, no alcohol, unlike the notorious Garnier BB cream that was the IT-piece around that time (which I also own). The Catrice one is an unsung hero, if you will. It looks too dark on the hand swatch, even though I own the lightest shade, but only because I accidentally squeezed out too much. It matches me well on the face. I marked where I am on the packaging, and I will also cut it open towards the very end.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEwFAM_N_PcqDTwkok2XjQ_pTbg-K0mvpy6wtnrcaya0rOxWMiYDYT7CfzPqCMQOWl2zViHogcY16i_uWx09DCJkDePUSCxVm24A6Taf2a07I6PVxbvEHLRND3rIErbupNVHCzQrZs9mMS/s1109/2+IMG_7698.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="catrice allround bb cream" border="0" data-original-height="809" data-original-width="1109" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEwFAM_N_PcqDTwkok2XjQ_pTbg-K0mvpy6wtnrcaya0rOxWMiYDYT7CfzPqCMQOWl2zViHogcY16i_uWx09DCJkDePUSCxVm24A6Taf2a07I6PVxbvEHLRND3rIErbupNVHCzQrZs9mMS/s16000/2+IMG_7698.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Catrice Allround BB cream when it was new</span></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><u><b>Essence 24h Hand Protection Balm (Raspberry Chocolate Cookie)</b> - 75 ml</u></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><u>Category:</u><b> </b>resurrection</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><u>Goal:</u> use it up</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">These oldschool Essence 24h winter limited edition handcreams are my favourite handcream formula ever, I am so sad this exact packaging and formula was discontinued circa 2014.

I can't really smell the white currant or mandarin, but the middle white florals are definitely there and unfortunately my head can totally feel it if I'm too generous spraying it. My salvation is in the amber, sandalwood and champagne notes, as they ground the scent. I'd recommend <b>spraying once or twice only</b>, as it is the intense version of the fragrance.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW2sGzFmh-vhgRAgJhiHMKAtZMJbXt2nigpHbY7osF9KLRDwEaj0yCYIySlwGM486ttbc5SwwOXe-kZkz1NzoE0a5POXOK1GP2j1jESSknI-UFuC8uNEpg8ZNHwmNG3UuY7qFubwq2iPs/s1281/avon-lucky-me-intense.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="avon lucky me perfume for her" border="0" data-original-height="854" data-original-width="1281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW2sGzFmh-vhgRAgJhiHMKAtZMJbXt2nigpHbY7osF9KLRDwEaj0yCYIySlwGM486ttbc5SwwOXe-kZkz1NzoE0a5POXOK1GP2j1jESSknI-UFuC8uNEpg8ZNHwmNG3UuY7qFubwq2iPs/s16000/avon-lucky-me-intense.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Speaking of spraying little, this guy is both a <b>sillage and longevity beast</b>, it is up there with Dior Hypnotic Poison. People will know of your presence if you are wearing this. For the exact same reason, please don't spray more than once in an office setting or a closed environment, otherwise you will kill people. When the perfume arrived, I sprayed twice on my clothes just chilling at home, and I kid you not, I had to change my clothes and open the windows, it was so strong. I also had to put my shirt in the washer, so no-no for 2 sprays while indoors.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">If you are sensitive to white florals, especially jasmine, please don't even think of blind buying Avon Lucky Me, as it's really prominent. Definitely try a tester first. However, if you are in the market for a strong fragrance (or you want a gift for a loved one), you will like it. I would go out on a limb and say that if you like (again) Dior Hypnotic Poison or Poison Girl type longevity and sillage, look no more.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ73Fl2VJBCa60w3vZxpSl3PH-gyAuHtjlr_mG4e92I1JjsLB8_vjc5Ng1Ua6_Cey4eyvfTp0ypE97x3qC_saqqHnTAJ1MlEu6EuRR5xTGPgNhiUHvR9ziCN2_N9hHYuWyHkjYPpdQNLg/s1158/avon-lucky-me-fragrance.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="avon lucky me intense edp" border="0" data-original-height="831" data-original-width="1158" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ73Fl2VJBCa60w3vZxpSl3PH-gyAuHtjlr_mG4e92I1JjsLB8_vjc5Ng1Ua6_Cey4eyvfTp0ypE97x3qC_saqqHnTAJ1MlEu6EuRR5xTGPgNhiUHvR9ziCN2_N9hHYuWyHkjYPpdQNLg/s16000/avon-lucky-me-fragrance.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I quite like how the glass bottle of the perfume is ombre magenta and purple, it is very much so on the aesthetically pleasing side of perfume bottles.

It is not my favourite MUR eyeshadow formula when it comes to some of the shimmers, they are so saturated with silicones that picking them up with a brush takes time, so I'd advise using your fingers. Hard pan can form on this formula too (due to overly silicony formula, the top layer of the eyeshadow hardens and you have to scrape it off). I prefer eyeshadows that apply easily both with a brush and fingers, like 3 generations of their early palettes - <a href="https://evinde.blogspot.com/2015/05/makeup-revolution-haul-lips-eyes-2015.html">the Salvation palettes</a>, the<a href="https://evinde.blogspot.com/2015/05/makeup-revolution-sticks-stones-palette.html"> Awesome brow and eye palettes</a> and the <a href="https://evinde.blogspot.com/2014/12/makeup-revolution-haul-salvation.html">Redemption palettes</a> .

It looks like as if you crushed up the autumn foliage and put it in a bottle, and I already mentioned <a href="https://evinde.blogspot.com/2013/11/autumn-in-bottle-barry-m-copper-osz-az.html">in this review</a> how much I adore such nail polishes. To put the shade in perspective even more, it is the love child of OPI Warm and Fozzie and <a href="https://evinde.blogspot.com/2013/11/autumnal-nails-with-opi-flormar-ket.html">OPI A Woman's Prague-ative</a>, so basically <a href="https://evinde.blogspot.com/2015/02/opi-nail-polish-haul-february-2015.html">OPI Sprung</a> but more copper. (I own all of them, would you like a comparison?)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">The formula is a beginner-friendly delight, no issues with it at all. It covered fully in 2 coats on my short nails. It dries quickly and shiny, so no top coat is really needed, I don't wear any on the photos. It doesn't stain when removed.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtme6twgqfSnxErlqBtCKsH2HyO_yGHbw7Qy4JvtICK30nXtcNOjG82mDIl75az0ss5ps167LhPo4oDwf7Xwkz1ODFeO_jUiF463CAMY-_NG8p1WT11l00SOBbThEw7pv4OWCaTejClDw/s1093/cuccio-higher-grounds-2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="cuccio higher grounds nail polish" border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="1093" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtme6twgqfSnxErlqBtCKsH2HyO_yGHbw7Qy4JvtICK30nXtcNOjG82mDIl75az0ss5ps167LhPo4oDwf7Xwkz1ODFeO_jUiF463CAMY-_NG8p1WT11l00SOBbThEw7pv4OWCaTejClDw/s16000/cuccio-higher-grounds-2.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Which is your favourite shade to wear during autumn?

Even the search results didn't return anything well-known in this fragrance group, and I can only recall one by <a href="https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Bath-and-Body-Works/Golden-Sunflower-62573.html">Bath & Body Works</a> which was released a couple of weeks ago, way after Incandessence Enjoy. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">When it comes to floral perfumes, I am always on a lookout for more unique scents because the most common group - the white florals - give me headache and nausea. You have to know that Avon is notorious for white floral fragrances too, they have a million that smell alike, but every once in a while they release a special, amazing fragrance that is not a white floral. Reading about the newest addition to the classic Incandessence family, I instanty thought it might be such a scent.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDDqDajAnAuDRUrIhiHm14GAGg0W9lM0Kcoke3kwXkMBegyO8GTL8JlZQ9vSWV9GrB83am9t8briH_4mw9i-cOfSjrN4kO2Gu1yY56_8WzXcxYQmjX1Zr6Kd-bIINA5ft-CbX6U0D4r-U/s1287/avon-incandessence-enjoy-2.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="avon incandessence enjoy perfume" border="0" data-original-height="858" data-original-width="1287" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDDqDajAnAuDRUrIhiHm14GAGg0W9lM0Kcoke3kwXkMBegyO8GTL8JlZQ9vSWV9GrB83am9t8briH_4mw9i-cOfSjrN4kO2Gu1yY56_8WzXcxYQmjX1Zr6Kd-bIINA5ft-CbX6U0D4r-U/s16000/avon-incandessence-enjoy-2.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b><u>What Avon says about Incandessence Enjoy:</u></b></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666;"><i></i></span></div><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666;"><i>"Discover a new, radiant perfume from your beloved Incandessence collection! </i></span><span style="color: #666666;"><i>Fill each day with joy thanks to the new fragrance - INCANDESSENCE ENJOY with a </i></span><span style="color: #666666;"><i>unique sunflower accord hidden in the heart of the fragrance.

Thankfully, Avon balanced it out with mandarin, and you can indeed smell both the sunflower and mandarin in unison upon spraying it. The creamy citrus calms down the summery floral, and the musk only comes into play towards the drydown, since it is a base note. Incandessence Enjoy is definitely one of the more unique fragrances by Avon, and I am really happy that I own it. If you are looking for eccentric, well-balanced florals, or if you dislike white florals, I recommend this ball of fragrance. It is definitely <b><u>not for everyone</u></b>, and I would advise you <b><u>not to blindbuy</u></b> it. <b><u>Try a tester</u></b> before purchasing, unless you know that you like sunflower scents.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBMCozk1CHUPfI9JIRzJlYneSC5QEGxeWm0Kw2YbxYhyphenhypheni8qCsqQQvKzlWbR1_sYI0J03vWovug-SyDYJEcxObIrk3u9S0c3Q9oP7al8gged1OG7MQLIbrPQ1PXvuKIZ41_zjbpnDNSI28/s1209/avon-incandessence-enjoy-edp.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="incandessence enjoy" border="0" data-original-height="854" data-original-width="1209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBMCozk1CHUPfI9JIRzJlYneSC5QEGxeWm0Kw2YbxYhyphenhypheni8qCsqQQvKzlWbR1_sYI0J03vWovug-SyDYJEcxObIrk3u9S0c3Q9oP7al8gged1OG7MQLIbrPQ1PXvuKIZ41_zjbpnDNSI28/s16000/avon-incandessence-enjoy-edp.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><u><b>Avon Incandessence Enjoy EDP details:</b></u></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><u>Composition:</u> <b>citrus-floral-woody</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><u>Category:</u> <b>warm, radiant</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><u>Notes:</u> <b>mandarin, sunflower accord, musk</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><u>Sillage:</u> <b>moderate</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><u>Longevity:</u> <b>moderate, 4 hours on skin and more than a day on clothes</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><u>Season:</u> <b>summer, late spring, early autumn</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><u>Time of day:</u> <b>during the day</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuWR4rzUOwQHb9Hwam_9n1vY1OT1GfDo1ANFoiH16DGyBQykmCPdgoi5C_AiMaqTtJwNr50q3SNjoGEL6wyOiXGZOW27u6VvieyPsQ6vA_gFvdGNbU6n878D0AiA2HViD9byS9fIeXHRU/s1232/avon-incandessence-enjoy-fragrance.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="avon incandessence enjoy fragrance" border="0" data-original-height="851" data-original-width="1232" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuWR4rzUOwQHb9Hwam_9n1vY1OT1GfDo1ANFoiH16DGyBQykmCPdgoi5C_AiMaqTtJwNr50q3SNjoGEL6wyOiXGZOW27u6VvieyPsQ6vA_gFvdGNbU6n878D0AiA2HViD9byS9fIeXHRU/s16000/avon-incandessence-enjoy-fragrance.JPG" /></a></div><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><u><b>Comparison:</b></u></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I own 2 other Incandessence perfumes, the <b>original</b> one and <b>Lotus</b>.

I stumbled upon the new <b>That's Bananas</b> Cien collection in Lidl the other day. The packaging drew me in for sure, and I decided to buy a couple of things because of the interesting mousse texture.</div>

It is a water and glycerin based hand cream, which also includes a lot of <b>grapeseed oil, shea butter and banana extract</b>. It also has a bit of <b>silicone</b> in it, hence the silky feeling. There is also <b>citric acid</b>, which is usually there to reguate the pH level. I have no problem with <b>fragrance</b> in cosmetics (as of now), however, if you are sensitive to them, this hand cream also includes <b>3 kinds</b> of them. Other than that, it is indeed a friendly INCI list. </div>

While it is not a 100% mousse (think shaving mousse), it is definitely a fluffier formula of hand cream. It sinks in quickly and leaves a plump feeling on the skin, though it is not that different from a regular hand cream. Both the hand and lip mousse smell like artificial banana, though it is not as fake smelling as some other banana scented products on the market.</div>

The Cien That's Bananas lip mousse is not really an actual mousse texture either, it feels like a rich overnight lip mask. Thankfully it is not the slippery kind thanks to the beeswax in it, so it stays on for longer and feels nourishing. More on that when I talk about the ingredients.</div>

It is a <b>castor oil</b> based lip balm, so you need to avoid hella heat with this guy, as castor oil starts to smell dreadful if it goes off due to heat. It also has 2 kinds of <b>beeswax</b> in it, so the texture is lovely and will not slide right off. <b>Coconut oil</b> and skin conditioning ingredients also follow lead, along with <b>panthenol, vitamin E and banana extract</b>. There is also some <b>aroma</b> in it for the taste, and <b>mica</b> for the shimmer. A really nice, friendly INCI list too (unlike Carmex).</div>

It has subtle gold shimmer in it and shines like a lipgloss. The formula of the lip mousse is not sticky at all, and provides care for a good chunk of the day, I didn't feel the need to reapply it.

I introduce a new series on the blog, in which I do a throwback to the Catrice liquid metal eyeshadows. These posts entail a mixture of reviews and shop-my-stash posts in one. Come, walk down memory lane with me!</div>

The concept of throwback posts is not new, nor is it my unique idea. However, I will explain what it means <i>to me </i>and how I will incorporate it into my posts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I have hundreds of folders on my laptop with photos for unwritten reviews. I have spent hours photographing and editing them. So far, so good. The problem is most of these products are discontinued now (looking at you, Essence and Catrice). Now, obviously I would still like to show you the photos I took, and considering how the beauty world nowadays is fixated on buying more and more new stuff, it would be useful if we focused on products we already own, but probably forgot about them. Hopefully, it will inspire fellow makeup lovers to go through their drawers and pull out forgotten but well-loved cosmetics.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
To sum it up, my throwback posts will be reviews of discontinued products to motivate others to give love to products that aren't new and to get more use out of their collection. In the case of makeup that came out years ago but is still available on the market, I will just write regular review posts. I hope that makes sense, I tend to over-explain things.</div>

Now, moving on to the stars of the show today, the <b>Catrice liquid metal 3D eyeshadows</b>. Do you remember them? I believe they came out in <b>2013</b> but I took these photos in 2014, so these pics are 6 years old. I'm going to hit you with my blog motto: better late than never. I know many people bought these eyeshadows, they were very popular, so why not pull them out again?</div>

When these came out, I thought they were the permanent version of the limited edition <a href="https://evinde.blogspot.com/2012/12/catrice-spectaculart-3d-eyeshadows.html"><b>SpectaculART baked gelée eyeshadows</b></a>. Not quite, unfortunately. They don't state it on the back what kind of shadows they are, but they feel like regular eyeshadows. These guys are definitely not as smooth as the classic baked gelée (think MAC Extra Dimension) products. The texture of these 3D eyeshadows is very soft, therefore the top layer with the oval patterns easily crumbles, so pat them in when applying. They are also greatly pigmented, plus you can use them both <b>wet and dry, </b>at least I have used them as such.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Besides the many little oval shapes on the surface, these Catrice liquid metal eyeshadows also have a big <b>3D wave pattern</b> on them, similar to what Kiko did a while back. I do love 3D products, so that is already a good thing in my eye. </div>

Later I got the purple one, you can see a <a href="https://evinde.blogspot.com/2015/01/makeup-for-light-eyes-smink-vilagos.html"><b>makeup look with it here</b></a>, it is one of my favourite posts.

Cut crease makeup has been all the rage in the past 5 years, so I decided to do one again. I also wanted to try some mono eyeshadows in my custom palette, and see how it would turn out. Let's see if it's a mess or not.<br />

It's been ages since I created a <a href="https://evinde.blogspot.com/2012/10/fotn-red-lips-cut-crease-esti-smink.html">cut crease eye look</a>, way back in 2012. It was so long ago that the concealer method wasn't even popular, and I did it the oldschool way, carefully blending around. Good times!<br />
<br />
Nowadays, it seems like people do cut crease looks only, and every other way of doing eye makeup is non-existent (instagram, am I right). While it is a fun way to do makeup, it does not suit every eye shape, so don't feel bad if you are not a fan of it. The classic way of painting your eyes is still in, don't you worry a second. I wish I could jump back to early blogging days, circa 2011. Such nostalgia!<br />

<br />
Anyway, the reason I'm not a big fan of cut crease makeup is mainly that I have uneven eyelids. I sleep on my side, so half of my face is a bit droopy, meaning that one of my eyes is more hooded than the other, and one of my brows is straight and sits differently than the other. Unless posing for photos, the cut crease look gets lost and the glitter liner tends to move away because of the hood of my lid smushes it. Fun times! Hopefully one day, I will get a brow lift done. One day.<br />

Now onto the makeup. I have been on a no buy / low buy in the past 2 years, but I bought a beautiful periwinkle eyeshadow back in 2018, and I wanted to foil it on the eyelid. I also wanted to use my custom Coastal Scents and Colourpop palette, so I blended a couple of berry shades in the crease, thinking that the contrast of the shades would be great for a cut crease. Later on, I added the handy-dandy glitter liner to mask the line of the lid shade. It turned out to be a fun, colorful makeup look for spring and summer.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Product list:</u></b><br />
<br />
- Essence Match 2 Cover cream concealer<br />
- Essence I Love Colour Intensifying eyeshadow base<br />
- Miss Sporty Happy Brow Styling Gel - 001 Blonde<br />
- Trend It Up metallic baked eyeshadow - 040 (periwinkle on lid)<br />
- Coastal Scents hot pots - Fool's Gold; Fine Wine; Wild Raisin<br />
- Mac Phloof! eyeshadow (inner corner)<br />
- Essence Crystal glitter liner - 10 Beach Party (oldie from like 2011, love it)<br />
- Mistine Maxi Black brush tip eyeliner<br />
<br />
What do you think of the cut crease craze? Do you like to wear it? Or not your cup of tea?<br />

(Kind of interesting that Essence spelled "multi-colour" differently on both blushes, and none of them are correct. Oh boy.)</div>

Instagram shadowbanned me for tagging #valentinesday, apparently it is a banned tag, so I am making a blogpost instead. The more you know... it's sad to see the worse and worse changes on IG compared to 2013-15 IG.</div>

The products I am writing about are new on the blog, I haven't shown them in any post yet, even though I've had them for years. The reddish lippies and the square blush are from the same collection by Essence, it's called <b>We Are... </b>. I bought them for a dollar on clearance a while ago. The entire collection was all cutesy-themed with hearts on everything. If I remember correctly, it came out around Valentine's day too. The lippies are velvet matte and very highly pigmented; the blush is silky and a beautiful colour in general.</div>

I also own a Holika Holika Heartful glossy lipstick in Humming Pink, and while the formula is very hydrating, creamy and delicious, the colour doesn't suit me that well. I have to tap it on lightly. To my excuse, the online swatches of this shade told me it was a lovely beige nude. Oh well, I can still make it work.</div>

The round blush is also from an Essence limited collection called <b>Happy Girls Are Pretty</b>, I believe it is from 2015. I remember watching Crimson Peak at the movies, and buying it after the film ended. It was a great afternoon! I haven't touched it yet because it is way too gorgeous.</div>

I probably have even more makeup products that are heart-shaped but I can't remember them right now. I really like unique products like that.<br />
<br />
I haven't blogged in months and I feel like my English writing skills are like a 5 year old kid's, so bear with me please. If you are following me on IG, you know why I haven't posted in January at all. Losing not one, but two beloved pets while the other 2 are sick is very straining on the mind and emotions.<br />

How is your 2020 going so far? Do you like unique makeup products? Let me know.<br />

Burnt orange is one of my favourite colours to wear during autumn. It matches the colourful leaves perfectly and puts me in a cozy mood. Today, I am here with a review about probably the most famous burnt orange nail polish - Essie Playing Koi.</div>

When it came out, Playing Koi caught the hearts of many people. I managed to hunt it down on eBay last year (you can't get Essie here), and I am very happy with my little bottle of goodness. </div>

It is truly a beautiful burnt orange cream nail polish that can be easily a one-coater, though I used 2. I also can stamp with it if I want to, but I usually don't waste it on that.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Essie Playing Koi has a great formula that goes on without issues. It does not stain the nails either and dries quickly and very shiny. I didn't use a base or top coat, and it lasted 4 days without chipping, doing the dishes and all that jazz.</div>

Also, where did my favourite season go? I can't believe it is the last day of November. I wish summer didn't stole 6 weeks of it. It is theoretically autumn up until the 21st of December, so there is that. </div>

Now, in the last years, a ton of trees were cut down in my hometown, probably 70% of them, I'm not even joking - purely because of politics. They were really gorgeous, mostly old trees, or more like ents. It is obviously devastating to the bird population here, and it also angers me greatly to see the trees that were part of my childhood and life disappear. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I thought it would be great to imagine a spirit that protects these trees, hence the idea was born. The cut across the face represents a cut on a tree, and I could also try scar wax for the first time.</div>

Originally I wanted a really dark messy look, but decided to add a yellowish green at the last minute. It also matches the color of the turning willow leaves, even though as you can see on my head, trees are still green here. I guess due to the sadly warm weather. By warm, I mean over 30°C we have been dealing with most of September and October. A shame, really. </div>

I also decided I prefer liquid latex to scar wax, shame my expensive Ben Nye latex died on me and I only used it once. Now I have a cheaper one I really like, but the scar wax is not for me. It was fun to try regardless, even though you probably can't tell it's a fully made scar and not just drawn on. </div>

I haven't done a Halloween look since 2015, mostly due to bad working hours and other crap, so I am super happy I did it this year. I had more fun than with any review post I made in the last 4 years. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<u><b><br /></b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Random late-night thoughts. It is quite sad how blogs and the blogosphere are declining, 2 Hungarian blogpost collector websites disappeared in the last 2 years, the last one only months ago (magyarblogok.hu) and I kid you not, I used to get 1200 views on a post with the help of them and now I only get like 8. <i>EIGHT</i>. Not 800, only 8. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Can you imagine working on something for days for only 8 people to see it? What is the point besides me liking what I do? Not much else. The blog turned <b>9 years old</b> this year, and it is so heartbreaking to see how things have changed for the worse. I won't even start on the new IG algorithm that is just as bad as facebook now, so only 5% of followers are seeing my posts, or even less. Such a shame that FB bought IG. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Anyway, those are the things I have on my mind as of late. What about you?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
If you are in a country that celebrates Halloween, be safe and know that I am incredibly jealous of you. It is Halloween night as I'm writing this, and there is not a single scary movie on TV. How dare they. Even worse, I saw the first Christmas commercial 20 minutes ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
All in all, have a lovely day / night and don't forget to be spooky. Here's to another autumn month!</div>

The Makeup Revolution Rainbow shadow palette is a magnificent colorful palette, and goes great with its sister Haunted House palette. HH was warm neutral, while the Rainbow palette - you guessed - is rainbow themed. Surprisingly, it has a lot of colours that are new to my collection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

Matte shades are domintaing the palette but they also included a handful of metallic and duochrome eyeshadows. Being either neons or pastels, the shadows have good pigmentation, but you might need to build up the yellow shades. They layer nicely, especially being yellow. They also apply better on the eyes than swatch on the hand.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Similarly to their Haunted House palette, the shadow formula is the same with almost wet metallic colours that pick up best with fingers. The brush doesn't pick them up as nicely as your fingertips would, or even a sponge tip applicator is great for the job. You are welcome to wet your brush too when applying the metallics. </div>

Just like <a href="https://evinde.blogspot.com/2019/10/revolution-haunted-house-palette.html">here</a>, the backside of the Makeup Revolution Rainbow palette has all the info you need. You get 18 x 1.1 grams of products for 10 GBP. It is cruelty-free and vegan. Lift the sticker on the back for even more info.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Some colours are marked as pressed pigments not intended for the eye area. It's a safety notice, certain pigments can stain the eye area, therefore they legally can't be marketed as eyeshadows. Don't be too afraid of them, unless you know that your eyes can't take certain pigments.</div>

Again, apply these to a primer that you <b>DON'T SET</b> for the best performance and pigmentation, like you should with powder shadows. I have talked about this topic <a href="https://evinde.blogspot.com/2019/10/revolution-haunted-house-palette.html">in this review</a>.</div>

All in all, I adore the colour picks for this fun palette, they even managed to make some shades I didn't own. If you like colours, definitely give this a try, and it also would be a great choice if you are a neutral lover but would like to experiment with fun shades. It is also possible to create nude looks using this palette, so it's the best of both worlds.<br />

October is Libra season, so it is only fitting to review such a nail colour. In today's review, I write about Kaleidoscope Libra, which is part of their zodiac-themed Night Dreams collection. Since it is hight time for fall nail art manicures, I also stamped it to match the season even more. </div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Last year, I was browsing </span><a href="https://en.elcorazon-shop.com/" style="text-align: justify;">El Corazon's website</a><span style="text-align: justify;">, which is a webshop that sells indie nail polish (and is kind of hard to navigate).

As you can guess, each zodiac sign has their own shade, and one that stood out to me was Libra.</span><br />

<a href="https://en.elcorazon-shop.com/catalog/nochnye_grezy_/kaleidoscope_lak_dlya_nogtey_nochnye_grezy_d_07_15_ml/">Kaleidoscope Libra</a> is an antique gold (= greenish gold) glass fleck nail polish that covers fully in 2 coats. There could be speculations whether it is a dense shimmer or glass fleck, but glass fleck <i>is </i>essentially a type of shimmer in my mind. It has a lovely finish that is not streaky at all; most glass flecks aren't. </div>

Libra just glows both in the bottle and on the nails, and can drastically change in different lights, even though it is not a duochrome. On the photos above it almost looks bronze, while below, it is a true antique gold. </div>

Being an indie polish, Kaleidoscope is madly cheap, only around 3 bucks for a large bottle, and in the world of indie brands, that is amazing. They are also <b>5-free</b> and come in a 15 ml bottle. The shipping is very affordable, too, even though the customer service lacks sometimes. </div>

I also bought a couple of <b>Pinpai stamping polishes</b> on Aliexpress, and figured I'd try them too. I am a big fan of the white, but their burnt orange is not pigmented enough to use them on their own, so I had to stamp over the white shade. As it was only an experiment, please consider that I would not necessarily use old gold and orange together in a manicure like this, but it do be like that sometimes.</div>

The must-have of the Revolution Halloween 2019 collection is definitely the Haunted House palette. Just look at it, it's everyting my black little heart ever wished for, without spending heaps of money. I about went into cardiac arrest when I randomly stumbled upon it on the website. They haven't officially announced it then, so it hit me like werewolf kicks. (<span style="font-size: x-small;">Let me tell you, it's hard to find Halloween-related rhymes for bricks, so don't be too mad about it.)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">The packaging is made out of tin, and I am praying that it won't get rustly like my Urband Decay 2 did. Everything rusts in my house. The outer picture is absolutely stunning and it stole my heart the second I laid eyes upon it. </span></div>

The back of the Haunted House palette states all the info you need. The reddish colours are marked as pressed pigments not intended for the eye area, but if you've been in the beauty community for any length of time, you are familiar with this. It's a safety notice, since reddish eyeshadows can stain the eye area, therefore they legally can't be marketed as eyeshadows. Basically, they might stain, but don't be too afraid of them, unless you know that your eyes can't take certain pigments.</div>

You get 18 x 1.1 grams of products for 10 GBP. It is cruelty-free and vegan. Lift the sticker on the back for even more info.</div>

Haunted House is a warm eyeshadow palette that focuses on orange, red, wine and warm browns, sprinkled with a couple of duochromes and a bright pink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Warm palettes are everywhere these days, and I normally don't get excited about them anymore, but the beautiful packaging on this one grabbed my attention. I wish they included murky greens and dark blues as well, but overall it is a nice colour scheme that matches the season and the theme of the palette.</div>

The shimmers feel almost like cream eyeshadows, so you will have to work your brush in them a lot to pick them up. Overly creamy powder shadows work best with fingers or sponge tip applicators. You can wet them too, but there is a chance you will create hard pan that way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Both the shimmers and mattes are beautifully pigmented, you just have to know which applictaion is the best for the formula. The mattes blend out easily and don't leave a lot of fallout. They pack a punch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">It is important to mention that eyeshadows perform best when applied to a <u>sticky primer</u> or an eyeshadow base that you <u>do not set</u>. Not just these eyeshadows, but any and every brand of powder eyeshadow. <u>Setting the primer defeats the purpose</u> and will <u>decrease the pigmentation</u> by eons. You only need to set it if you are using concealer as eye primer which tends to crease. It's interesting how suddenly everyone forgot how to blend on a sticky primer, it is not rocket science. Don't be afraid of it.</span></b></div>

The first month of autumn is almost gone, I can hardly believe it. It is high time I reached for my precious B&BW hand creams, and I am also here to share a review with you. Not to be too dramatic, but I would die for these fall scents, even though I will start with a rant. Let's see!</div>

<b><u>Where to get them in Europe:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In Hungary, it is incredibly hard to get your hands on anything from Bath & Body Works, so I highly treasure these products. There are only 2 places I know of that sell B&BW: <a href="https://www.notino.hu/bath-body-works/">Notino</a> and <a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.sk/hu">B&BW.sk</a> (formerly <i><b>elf-kozmetika</b></i>), both of them have a really small selection that sells out quickly, and you can wait forever for a restock, if they restock at all. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The stuff they usually have is not recent (I don't mind that), and they cost around 3x the usual price with shipping. I bought B&BW products in both stores, but these hand creams in particular were sold at the <i>elf-kozmetika</i> store. Mind you these are $5 in the US, and I bought each around $13 + shipping, and that was a sale price, even. It's really sad, I wish B&BW would install stores everywhere in Europe, I think many people agree with me on that.</div>

<b><u>Old vs. new packaging:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Today, I am writing the review about the <b>old</b> packaging because I own those ones, but firstly I will rant a bit about the new one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><u>New:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
B&BW changed their packaging for the worse on their hand creams and hand sanitizers, you can see the new packaging above. Unfortunately, they give you<b> half the amount</b> (<b>30 ml</b>) of what it used to be for the same price (<b>$5</b>), and they switched to the same pharmaceutical, <b>annoying screw-on cap</b> every single other brand already has (The Body Shop, L'Occitane, K-Beauty brands, and even Essence now). Mind you, if you have ever used this kind of cap, you know it takes a while to screw it on correctly, compared to their previous cap you just popped open, as these caps particularly like to screw themself on a bit crooked. They are also sharp and unpleasant to touch and tighten. <b>In short, they suck major ass.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
However, I am the saddest about the presentation of the new packaging, or the lack of it thereof: B&BW is known for their beautiful pictures on their products, you will see it on the hand creams in this post. The Bath & Body Works hand creams in the new packaging have patterns only, they ditched the beautiful photography which, in my opinion, is just sad. Thankfully they kept the nice photos on their body lotions, but as someone who isn't located in the US, considering how expensive and hard-to-get this brand is for us, the most worthwhile products to get are hand sanitizers and hand creams. The reason people love the brand is the selection of scents and the gorgeous, unique packaging, and I feel like they shot themselves in the leg with the change. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
As I said, I have the hand creams in the old packaging, which has a pop-open cap that is very pleasant to use. It is my favourite type of opening on any hand cream. After you applied the cream, you just close it with one click. Unlike with the new cap, you don't have to fumble around with slippery hands, trying to get that goddamned pharmaceutical screw-cap on.</div>

Above, you can see a lovely group picture of my little Bath & Body Works hand creams, I purchased them all at the same time back in 2016. Two of them are autumn scents accompanied with a single winter one. They were blind buys, so I didn't know what they will smell like besides reading their description. The selection was hella small when I bought them, but I am still happy I could get my hands on them, as I've been keeping them on my wishlist since early youtube days.</div>

Crisp Morning Air has been on my wishlist for such a long time and it is a delightfully unique scent. Regardless of the official scent description, it smells like the mixture of damp soil, green apples and cold morning air, it is so interesting how they managed to capture it. It's a little tube of miracle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<u>Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin:</u> <i><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">"A sweet autumn blend of pumpkin, vanilla cream and spicy cinnamon sticks."</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Another soul-warming scent that is sweet, but not the stereotypical spoiled teenager kind of sweet. It smells like punch (the hot beverage) flavoured ice cream with a hint of pumpkin, I associate it with sunny autumn days. I can't smell cinnamon. It is a beautiful scent that tends to return every year.</div>

Bath & Body Works hand creams are moisturising but without the greasy feeling, making the skin super silky. They are quite similar in formula to oldschool Essence, L'Occitane or The Body Shop. The main difference between other brands and B&BW is the strength of the scent, you will feel it for hours, I'd advise to wear matching or harmonizing perfume with them, or no perfume at all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
If you are from a country where B&BW is hard to get, and somehow find this older kind of packaging (they swithed to new ones like less than a year ago), definitely pick it up! Don't hesitate. Hear me?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The new, smaller ones are not worth the hunt and amped up price, unless you are in the US or Canada and can buy them for their regular $5 price.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Please, if you are in Central or Eastern Europe, and know about a webshop that sells the brand and I haven't mentioned it, let me know. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Are you intrigued by the selection of the brand? Do you wish you lived in the US, so you could raid B&BW? I must not be the only one, right?</div>

Avon released these gems back in <b>2016</b> I think, and that's exactly when I made these photos, but then the entire thing got postponed because I couldn't update the blog the way I wanted. Regardless, you can still buy these as far as I know. I usually go to an actual walk-in Avon store, and the lady there says that even if something is not in the catalogue, you can still buy it just by asking for it. So there's a piece of info for you about that.<br />

The Avon Shine Burst lipsticks come in a <b>metallic plastic tube</b> that is quite pleasing to the eye. The outer packaging is <b>colour-coordinated</b> in shade groups, so the<b> nudes </b>will have rose gold packaging, the <b>pink</b> ones pink packaging, <b>reddish and coral</b> shades will come in red packaging and the<b> purples </b>and plums in purple. They are very <b>slim</b>, therefore easy to apply even without a mirror. Each holds <b>1.8 grams</b> of product and the price is around <b>$3-5</b>, depending if they are on sale or not. I bought mine for around $4.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In the official description, Avon says they are <b>glossy, creamy, hydrating</b> and <b>smell like fruit</b> while having pigmentation to effortlessly cover the lips. I agree with these claims, I am writing this review after 3 years of use after all. There is some use of being late as hell with stuff, it seems.</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">I am a big fan of creamy lipsticks, and these Shine Burst gloss sticks feel like the upgraded version of the </span><b style="text-align: center;">Revlon lip butters</b><span style="text-align: center;">. I adore the fruity smell of these guys! They still smell the same after 3 years of using them, and considering we have disgustingly hot summers that can kill lip products with ease, it's a great thing.</span><br />

The formula is incredibly creamy, comfortable and <b>moisturizing</b>. According to Avon, they contain papaya, pomegranate and coconut oil. They have <b>medium-buildable</b> pigmentation and two finishes: <b>creamy and shimmery</b>. Their color range contains <b>15 shades</b>, most of them being pinks. Even if one is in the red category package-wise, it's still pink. </div>

<span style="text-align: center;">Being creamy lip products, they will </span><b style="text-align: center;">break off</b><span style="text-align: center;"> if you roll them up too high, so don't do that. Two of mine did that unfortunately. The lipstick iself also tends to </span><b style="text-align: center;">spin in the tube</b><span style="text-align: center;"> as you roll up and down, so the slanted tip might face a different direction compared to what it faced originally.

They will <b>wear off if you eat</b>, so you have to reapply them after. They also <b>transfer</b>, so make sure you don't overapply them, or they might end up on your teeth. Remember, they are pigmented enough to show up on teeth!I prefer it to longlasting lip products though, as these always look juicy while their longlasting sisters (let's say matte liquid lippies) can look crusty as hell at the end of the day.<br />

I actually have 6 of them, even though you only see 5 in this post. I bought the shade <b>Grapefruit</b> after I photographed my first 5 shades. I received 2 of these as PR-samples, and bought 3 of them (+1 later) myself. That is kind of telling how I love them.</div>

<b><u>Pros:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- creamy, comfortable</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- extra glossy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- hydrating</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- delicious smell</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- can be applied without a mirror</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- affordable</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- slim format = precise application</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Cons:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- too many pink shades</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- breaks off when rolled up too far</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- lipstick itself tends to spin in tube, changing the direction of the slanted tip</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So yes, I do recommend these, a creamy and comfy lipstick comes handy in any makeup bag.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Do you like creamy lip products or are you partial to matte, longlasting ones?</div>

Rival de Loop Young has been present in the country for a good 4-5 years now, and thank the gods this product is not discontinued yet. If you don't know, most German brands are notorious for discontinuing everything within months, and then bringing them back with a new name and (often) worse formula, acting like it's a brand new product (ahem, Essence). By the time I test and get to know such an item, it's unecessary to write a review because it's discontinued. I wish Essence and Catrice would relize that. I am tired of it, that's why I give huge brownie points to Rival de Loop Young, they keep their products around for longer time periods.</div>

The Rival de Loop Young face powder comes in a hard acrylic case, I personally think these type of robust transparent cases look really pleasing to the eye. I prefer them to the more rounded ones.</div>

<b style="text-align: justify;"><u>Texture, lasting power, scent, price:</u></b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br />This product right here is <b>creamier and finer</b> than all the other drugstore powders I've tried, mostly Essence and Catrice. It looks way more <b>natural </b>and uniform on the skin than the well-known Rimmel Stay Matte powder, the latter one looked awfully obvious on the skin, especially if you have rough skin texture. This one doesn't, it looks great. The soft powder formula must be the reason.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It lasts just as well as mattifying powders these days, while taking away shine and still looking like skin. It sets the base make-up beautifully. It's important to mention that the price is better than any of the competitors' prices, you get <b>10 grams of product for 750 HUF</b> (less than $3), which is an amazing deal. Back when the brand came to the country, I remember buying it for 400 HUF (less than $2). They amped up their prices, but it's still pretty awesome.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The best thing besides how natural it looks on the skin is the <b>scent</b>. It has a delicious <b>toasted coconut </b>scent, Essence used to make powders like that. Even Rival de Loop Young blushes have that exact smell, I love it. It doesn't irritate my skin, nor do I smell it for more than a couple of minutes.</div>

Important to mention that it <b>does not darken up</b> when it hits emolient surface, such as foundation or concealer. I compare it to the <i>Catrice matte powder</i> on the photo, because the Catrice one looks very similar in colour, but it darkens up badly on the skin and turns orange. Most powders do darken up when setting a foundation with them, the RDLY powder doesn't.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It has a bit of a coverage to it, but goes on the skin mostly translucent.</div>

It's May, which means it's Colourpop's birthday month. Usually, they offer terrific deals throughout the month, I hope that will be the case this year too. I thought I would write about their pressed powder shadows in case you want to buy some. </div>

Out of all my Colourpop products, the mono eyeshaows are the easiest to show here because I own the least amount of them. It's easier to fit them all in one photo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The Colourpop pressed powder shadows have nice quality in general, though they can be hit or miss. They are very similar to Coastal Scents hot pots, be it texture, pigmentation, lasting power or colour selection. I am rather surprised nobody references Coastal Scents when talking about Colourpop pressed eyeshadows.</div>

<br />Some of them have excellent pigmentation while others don't. Blendability is average to good, also depends on what kind of base you use beneath them. The colour selection is huge, though I wish they would make more duochromes. I am still longing for their now discontinued 2017 birthday iridescent shadows.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://colourpop.com/products/paper-tiger"><b>Paper Tiger</b></a> is a mustard yellow matte. It is one of their best sellers, and I bought it because I like unconventional colours, mostly for autumn. Nicely pigmented. Turns very warm on my neutral skin and loses a lot of its mustard quality unfortunately. Still a unique colour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://colourpop.com/products/night-show"><b>Night Show</b></a> is a medium bronze with strong yellow undertones, a gorgeous colour for autumn. It is smooth and creamy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://colourpop.com/products/snake-eyes"><b>Snake Eyes</b></a> is a mixture of a rose gold and a pink. Their official description says it's a pink taupe but I don't really see taupe in it. Reminded me of a darker version of Urban Decay Sin, that's why I bought it. Very smooth, creamy and pigmented; can be chunky at times.</div>

<b><a href="https://colourpop.com/products/tea-garden">Tea Garden</a></b> is a beautiful duochrome. The base colour is a coppery brown and the shift is an antique type of green. It is comparable to Coastal Scents Cherry Moss hot pot, but this one's on steroids. I love duochromes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://colourpop.com/products/glass-bull"><b>Glass Bull</b></a>, aka the shade everyone went nuts over. It is one of the more unique duochromes out there. The base colour is a medium pinkish brown that has a teal-to-blue shift. Unfortunately the pigmentation and texture lacked, it is very flaky to the point where it has hella fallout, and also very sheer, almost translucent on the eye. I would recommend using it as a topper, or over a very sticky primer with a wet brush or fingers. It's such a beautiful colour yet such a bust of a formula, I'm really disappointed. Regardless, I would still recommend to pick it up because it is such a unique shade. It was my first CP mono shadow.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://colourpop.com/products/fault-line"><b>Fault Line</b></a> is a medium purple with a blue shift. This one also lacks pigmentation unfortunately, you will need at least 2 coats, a sticky base or a coloured base to make it vibrant. </div>

All in all, I would just buy the pre-made Colourpop palettes (way more affordable), or buy monos when they're having a BYOP deal, or just buy a couple of unique shades. I still think that CS hot pots would be a way better option to build a palette, but I do like my CP mono shadows. CP and Coastal Scents monos combine great together by the way, I have them all in one palette. Issa family.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;">To sum it up, I don't think you necessarily need the Colourpop pressed powder shadows, I would absolutely just go for the Coastal Scents hot pots when they are having a $1 sale. Their duochromes kinda put these to shame, and are the better option particularly if you're from Hungary (or Europe). Colourpop packages can get expensive at customs if you're not paying attention. </span></div>

<br />I remember that people were really excited when Colourpop announced the <a href="https://colourpop.com/collections/disney-designer">Disney Designer collection</a> last autumn. It is quite wholesome that such an affordable brand created a Disney-themed collection, I gotta appreciate that. Years ago when MAC released a Disney collection, many people couldn't afford it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
There are 6 princesses included in the collection, you can check them out <a href="https://colourpop.com/collections/disney-designer">on the CP website</a>. I was a bit disappointed that Pocahontas, Esmeralda or Mulan were not included, and even more sad that my all-time-fave, the Lion King was never included in any Disney collection ever, as far as I know. That's just a personal problem though.</div>

<br />Besides the Lion King, I also really loved the Beauty and the Beast as a kid, so buying Belle's lipstick wasn't really a question. It is a pinkish mauve colour that practically every single brand has, but I have to admit that Belle's lips do look like that exact colour.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Snow White wasn't my favourite movie at all, I remember that my mom wanted me to watch it whenever I wanted to watch the Lion King instead, LOL. Such big problems as a kid, am I right? Anyway, I have been on a search for the perfect Snow White red for years, kinda since 2013 when NYX appeared in Asia Center and they had an awesome red lippie that reminded me of Snow White's lips. I didn't buy it but I knew for sure that I'd buy the Colourpop one.<br />

As you can see way above, each of the lipstick boxes have a matching Disney princess drawn on them. I really like the artwork, it's gorgeous. The lipstick tube itself is pale gold metal-covered plastic, it's quite heavy as well. You can find the signatures of the princesses on each of the tubes, which is a nice touch.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
If you have tried any lipstick from any German brand (Essence, Catrice, P2, Trend It Up, RDLY), the formula of these Disney Colourpop lipsticks will be familiar, they are nothing new or groundbreaking. The texture is creamy to a point where they keep the lips moist, yet don't slip around. Being classic creamy lipsticks, they obviously transfer and wear off after eating. They have a very faint vanilla scent and stain the lips, especially the red one.</div>

<br />The Disney Designer lipsticks are part of the Colourpop LUX lipsticks, so the texture itself is very airy and lightweight, and has kick-ass pigmentation in just one coat. I am showcasing that towards the end of the review. They have a nice healthy shine to them, but nowhere near a glossy finish. Just blot them if you want a more matte effect on the lips. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
They sure do glide on very easily, it's simple to get carried away if you don't have a prominent lip line. For mutuals with a weak-ass lipline like I have, I'd recommend either a lip brush, lip liner or a steady hand for applying the darker or brighter colours. </div>

<a href="https://colourpop.com/products/belle"></a><a href="https://colourpop.com/products/belle">Belle</a> is described as a rosy berry on Colourpop's website. I would say that it's a pinkish mauve. Gorgeous colour, regardless. Most people can wear a colour like this, it is an easy, everyday shade of muted pink.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://colourpop.com/products/snow-white">Snow White</a> is described as a candy apple red. In my book, it is a vibrant, yet classy cool-toned red that looks a bit brighter on the lips than in the tube. It is the perfect red lipstick, not too loud or too dark.<br />

To sum it up, I think Colourpop did great with the lipsticks (unlike with the palette), and I do believe that most people will find a shade they like. If you have a lot of make-up and are not particularly into Disney movies, you can skip it. I would not have picked up these colours if they were just regular lipsticks in the main LUX line, but marketing them as matching shades with certain Disney princesses did its magic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I have heaps of pinkish mauve and red lipsticks, so I needed new ones like I would need a third nipple, but a Belle and a Snow White lipstick?! It's a completely different story. The collector in me was itching to pick them up, so did little girl me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
They cost 7 USD each, which is about the same as most German drugstore lippies nowadays, so nothing to be shameful about, even if you like to hoard lip products.</div>

Avon is a brand that goes under the radar of many people, yet it has a bunch of great products that are worth trying. Today I will write about a group of products that I've repurchased and really like. Please do pay attention to Avon.</div>

This year I am on a low buy, so this haul is not from 2019, however, these products are still available if I'm correct, with some slight packaging changes here and there. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/evinde/">I asked on instagram</a> if you'd be interested in older hauls still, and you voted yes, so here we go.</div>

The Advance Techniques Dry Ends serum was mentioned on many platforms as a miracle worker years ago, circa 2013. I don't quite agree since the second ingredient in this product is a bad kind of alcohol that can dry out the hair, but other than that, it's really nice. It gives a nice shine and smells amazing, that's why I bought it mainly - for nostalgia. I will repurpose the pump bottle once I'm finished with it, and I recommend the same. Less waste in the long run.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have a ton of hair that is very thick, so even if I damage it by colouring, it still doesn't affect it, so the alcohol in this product does not really bother me. Avon repackaged this product if I'm correct.<br />

The cherry blossom hand cream is one of my favourite products when it comes to scent. I love cherry blossom scented anything. This boi on the photo is my second tube of this particular cream, it moisturizes the skin effectively, and takes a while to completely dry. It is more suitable as a night-time cream rather than a quick-dry, on-the-go one. Give it a whiff if you can, you won't be disappointed.<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">These chubby Color Trend eye pencils are probably not for everyone since they don't set. I love to use them as a cream base on the lid, lower lashline or inner corner. The one on the photo is a light, champagne coloured one, I usually use it on my inner corner. I don't feel like I need to set it under the eyes or on the inner corner, but I'd advise you to set it on the lid, otherwise it will crease. It is a lovely highlight colour that reminds me of my beloved Urban Decay Sin eyeshadow. It's very affordable, too.</span><div>

<span style="text-align: justify;"><br />The </span><b style="text-align: justify;">Planet Spa Volcanic Iceland</b><span style="text-align: justify;"> product family is the best smelling one out of all the Planet Spa (or other) products, I go nuts for that scent, kinda reminds me of a hug. It is my second bottle that I bought, you probably have seen </span><a href="https://evinde.blogspot.com/2016/07/avon-beauty-haul-makeup-fragrance-and.html" style="text-align: justify;">the first one in this haul</a><span style="text-align: justify;"> a while back. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I use it mainly as a perfume oil on my wrist. It is too valuable to me to use it as a body oil, especially since I usually have to hunt for the entire Volcanic Iceland line. Please Avon, don't discontinue it!<br />

As someone who has combo textured skin with hella dry flakes on my nose, I can really appreciate if I find products that are affordable, effective and don't have crappy kind of alcohols or witch hazel in them. I'm fine using alcohol on my hair sometimes, but I'd never use it on my face. </div>

The Avon white tea gel cleanser is one of my faves from the brand besides their cucumber product family. The bottle on the photo is my 3rd repurchase. I usually use more than one cleansers that I constantly rotate through, so one bottle of this guy is enough for a long time. Give it a try if you also have a skin type similar to mine, or if you have oily skin.<br />

The heel softening cream is the black sheep of the bunch, since it is not a repurchase. It is my first time trying it, I think they even repackaged and renamed it since I bought mine. It contains lactic acid that should help with renewing the skin.<br />
<br />
I have to get in the habit of putting lotion on my heels since I don't really do that, so this product is my motivation. I'm failing so far, whoops.<br />

<a href="https://www.lens.me/">Solotica</a> is the contact lens brand to go to if you want to drastically change your eye colour while still wanting to look natural - aka changing a (mostly) dark eye to a light one without the doll-like enlarging effect. They provide an incredibly great coverage for dark eyes, just do a quick Google search to find them. It will be hard to come across a review of the brand's lenses that are shown on light eyes, but hey, that's why I am here for.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, fret not, my friends. Even though I have naturally blue eyes, I wanted lenses that are as light as possible without them being straight up white. I think I succeeded, but by the end of the post, you will be able to tell as well. </div>

I got my Solotica lenses through <a href="https://www.lens.me/">LENS.ME</a>. They offer a great selection of <a href="https://www.lens.me/colour-contact-lenses">coloured contact lenses</a>. Beforehand, they contacted me if I wanted to try Solotica lenses, and since it is a brand I've never tried before, I said yes, of course. The delivery was very quick, my package arrived just within a couple of days from Dubai, United Arab Emirates.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They sent out the nicest package with 2 additional contact lens solutions, separate cases for both pairs of lenses, an on-the-go lens case with a lens applicator and tweezers (shown above) and Oreo cookies. They also attached a handwritten note. I really appreciate when companies pay attention to details, and they certainly do that. </div>

<b><u>Before the actual review of the lenses: </u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Please always visit an optometrist before purchasing your first pair of contact lenses. They will tell you if your eyes are suitable for lenses or not; if the curve of your eyes is different from the average and which types of lenses are suitable for it. The eyesight is incredibly important and not worth risking it.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As mentioned above, looking through the <a href="https://www.lens.me/colour-contact-lenses/solotica-contact-lens">entire Solotica selection</a>, I picked the lightest lenses possible: Ice and Cristal. Both of them are from the <a href="https://www.lens.me/colour-contact-lenses/solotica-contact-lens/solotica-hidrocor">Hidrocor family</a>, the main difference being the actual colour. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hidrocor Ice is a very pale, almost white-ish blue, while Hidrocor Cristal is a pale green. They look rather similar in the lens case, but you can see the difference when they are on the eyes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Both of them look very natural in terms of mimicking the actual iris of a human. They don't have a limbal ring, and they have a slight starburst effect to them - aka the darker lines you see pointing towards the pupil hole.</div>

Even though I have blue eyes, they still change them drastically, almost to the point of looking like a vampire from up North, where there is a lot of ice and snow. The would pop even more on darker skintones and dark natural eyes. </div>

<b><u>Comfort and performance:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
As far as comfort goes, they perform great. Having a diameter of 14.2 mm, they are not the enlarging kind, making it a lot easier to insert them (for me, anyway). Unlike with some lenses upon first use, I didn't feel any discomfort. They maintain their moisture level up to 6-7 hours without my eyes being dry or itchy. </div>

Hidrocor Cristal performed the same way as Ice did, the only difference being the colour. Cristal is a very pale icy green.<br />

<b><u>Different opacity and colour per year?</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
An interesting factor I found out while looking for swatches is the following: a good handful of Solotica lenses have changed throughout the years when it comes to colour and lightness, even though there is no official statement regarding it. Based on other reviews, Hidrocor Ice used to be darker than Cristal, and now it is a lot lighter. Please do keep that in mind when looking up photos of them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I directly asked my LENS.ME contact about this, and according to the answer, my lenses shown here were made in the last 6-12 months, and they are the most recent ones the brand makes. In other words, mine are up to date and were made in 2018. 😇 There is no 2019 opacity for them.</div>

<b><u>Overall:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Try Solotica lenses if you are looking for coloured contacts that mimic the human eye perfectly or if you want to drastically change your eye while still showcasing a natural colour. They are comfortable, so everyday wear would not be a problem. The only drawback I can think of is the price, they easily cost around 90-100 USD per pair.</div>

<b><u>Where to buy?</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As for the <a href="https://www.lens.me/">LENS.ME</a> website, I had a great experience with them. The package arrived within 2-3 days in a pristine state, they pay attention to details, the website is simple to look through and my contact is super nice and easy to talk to. Absolutely recommended based on my personal experience. </div>

<b><u>Musings:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I was in the process of picking out the lenses to test, it took me a hot minute to look up photos and videos of them. There aren't that many besides the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/solotica_oficial/" target="_blank">official instagram of Solotica</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lensdotme/">LENS.ME</a>. Therefore, an honorable mention goes to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/FonzEviL/videos">FonzEvil</a>, who has great videos of Solotica lenses and made it really easy for me to decide which lenses I wanted to try. He has dark eyes, so if you're curious how effectively these lenses work on such eyes, definitely check out his videos. </div>

<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: x-small;">I received the lenses as PR products to test and review. This is not a sponsored review, nor did I buy them with my own money. All opinions are based on my own experience, as always.</span></div>
