Colourpop Haul from an European point of view

Hey cutie pies!

I have a haul for you today. A ColourPop haul!!! Anyone excited?! I mean from Europe, cuz we have had the chance to buy these for a short period of time!

Ok, I didn't buy a lot of stuff (I was a little short on money) but when I heard that they were doing a 4 dollar Europe shipping campaign, I had to open my wallet and scrap out every cent.

So let's start with the crappy part that we all know (Europeans) the duties that customs make us pay...Colourpop got the package to Portugal in 4 days! I kid you not!

Now duties...they took 20-freaking-days! Yes, I live in Portugal and it is actually the end of the world still...Oh and they didn't even contact me! I had to e-mail them and they ask me for a photocopy of my ID card and of the receipt with the description of all the products I bough and how much I had paid for each of them. Mind that I only bought 7 items that came up to 34 Euros (with shipping).

Yeah...after 20 days of waiting and back and forth e-mailing, the package finally got to me...and they made me pay 20 Euros to get it...So all in all, it came up to 54 something Euros.

Please bear in mind that I am not upset with Colourpop! They were amazing, extremely fast shipping and great products. I just really don't like Customs....


Now for the good part ^^ Colourpop goodies!!! You can see the colours on the lips on my youtube channel Newances by Ema.

As I've mentioned before, I didn't buy a whole lot but I got some great products!

Let's talk packaging...look at it...just look...

The inside of the box. It came with the products, a thank you card and a booklet with the current collection. 

Everything came perfectly packaged, with a type of foam around it and the inside of the box was so pretty with flowers and all.

Tootsie (left to right): lippie pencil and lippie stix on top, lippie stix, lippie pencil. 

Bichette (left to right): lippie pencil and lippie stix on top, lippie stix, lippie pencil. 

Marshmallow lippie pencil 

Gel liner in "Best O"

From left to right: Lippie pencil in "Marshmallow" and Gel line in "Best O"

Lippie stix: What can I say? Both of them are matter but they are extremely buttery and non-drying on your lips.

 - Tootsie is that perfect greije colour we have all been looking for since Limecrime invented "Cashmere".

 - Bichette is a very classy red,with a blue undertone, unlike its lippie pencil. The mix of the two creates a beautiful and perfect red, especially for very light skin like mine. 

Lippie pencil: The pencils are a bit more matte, like it's normal. I do advise esfoliating and moisturizing a few minutes prior to applying them because you will be able to see any skin that you have on your dry lips. 

 - Tootsie is a bit lighter and more of a brick colour than the Lippi stix, but still has that grey undertone. 

 - Bichette is a little more cherry toned than I thought, specially on the lips alone. I don't really like that kind of tone but many do and you may be able to pull using it totally alone. 

- Marshmallow was the little exra I had to buy. I love they grey purple colour on the lips. Maybe it's my Pastel goth side but still, I love it! Besides it's perfect to use with the Inglot's 436 I bought in 2016.

As for the Gel line "Best O", I have to say it's one of the best eyeliner's I have ever used. First  thought it was going to dry super fast because it looked dry already but I was pleasantly surprise. 

The liner glides beautifully and is so pigmented that you barely need any product! It will dry a bit fast on the brush (I use an angled brush, as you may see on the video) but it gives you the perfect winged liner easily.

There are some fall outs but they do not smudge, you can just swept them away with your finger or a fan brush if you want. 

The liner does last all day (and this coming from someone who occasionally rubs her eyes 'cuz she forgets she has eyeliner), without smudge or transferring!

So overall rating!!!

Lippie Styx: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lippie Pencils: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Gel Liner: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Overall Colourpop has done an amazing job and whenever I get past my Customs trauma (and they have free shipping xD) I'm buying some more!!

Hope you have enjoyed this review and haul! Please subscribe to my youtube channel and leave any comments, advise or products you would like me to review, let me know!

Have a wonderful 2017!

See you next time,

XOXO

Naked Chocolate - I ❤ Makeup

Hey Cuties!

Olá amores!

Yes, I got another Chocolate palete! I've been bad and been spending money on makeup...oops hehe but it's a little different from the other since this one is all about "nude colors" ( and it cost 10 euros so my wallet is happy too).

Sim, comprei outra palete Chocolate! Tenho andado a ser má e a gastar dinheiro em makeup...woops hehe mas esta é um pouco diferente da anterior pois é só constituída por cores "nude" (e custos 10 euros por isso a minha carteira também está feliz ^^).

 As you may have noticed already the packaging is a dupe for the Too Faced Chocolate palettes. And it's no surprised that these are called Chocolate too (this one even has a hint of chocolate smell, yummmmms). The I ❤ Makeup have several of these and I have already reviewed one of them here,

Como já devem ter reparado a embalagem é mais uma vez uma imitação das paletes Chocolate da Too Faced. E não é surpresa nenhuma que também se chamem Chocolate (esta até tem um cheirinho a chocolate yummmmm). A marca I ❤ Makeup tem várias paletes dentro desta linha e já fiz uma review de uma delas aqui.

I liked the quality of the Death by Chocolate palette so much that I had to get the Naked Chocolate. Also I love my nudes as you may have noticed already! But you can never go wrong with a nude, can you?! I don't think so!

Eu gostei tanto da qualidade da Death by Chocolate que tive que comprar a Naked Chocolate. Também tenho um amor por nudes, como já devem ter reparado! Mas podemos sempre confiar nos nudes, certo? 

I've read this is a dupe to one of the Lorac palettes. Since I don't own any of those I'll take their word for it.

Eu li que esta palete é um dupe de uma das paletes da Lorac. Honestamente, como não tenho nada da Lorac não vos posso dizer se é verdade.

Truth is, I really like this palette, there are good matte colors that can work as transition colors or as an all over the lid color and the shimmers look beautiful on the eyes! This is the kind of palete that you bring when you travel and don't want to pack too much. Here are a couple of looks I've made using only this palette

A verdade, é que eu adoro esta palete, os mattes são bons e funcionam tanto como cores de transição como para a pálpebra inteira e os shimmers ficam lindos nos olhos! Acho que é a paleta perfeita quando vamos para fora e não queremos levar muita coisa. Aqui estão alguns looks apenas com as cores desta palete 

As you can see the colors show beautifully and you can do a lot with these! Even cut crease!

Como podem ver as cores têm uma intensidade linda e dá para fazer vários looks! Até cut crease!

Hope you liked this review, please leave me any comments or suggestions of products you would like me to review :)

Espero que tenham gostado desta review, por favor deixem comentários ou sugestões de productos que gostassem de ver :)

Love you all and have a great week!

Adoro-vos a todos e tenham uma optima semana! 

XOXO
