If you have watched my 'November Beauty Favorites' video, you probably already know how this review will go down. But if you haven't, well, I'm just gonna say it. This Catrice 'Rockby' Lip Balm Tint is flippin' amazing! I've been wearing it tons in the past few months and I don't see myself breaking up with it any time soon. 

The shade is totally right up my alley, and the quality is equally amazing. I don't know if you've noticed, but there are two names describing this product - lip balm and tint. In my experience, these two formulas usually can't be found in the same product, because lip balms tend to be on the sheer and shiny side, while tints scream for matte, bold and long lasting. But when it comes to this product, the description makes total sense.

Catrice 'Rockby' Lip Balm Tint feels very creamy and moisturizing on my lips, but it also has a very strong colour payoff and lasts for ages on my lips. If I haven't convinced you yet to pick up this miracle in a pencil yourself, let me just tell you that this is the first bold lip product I actually wore outside my house and wasn't freaking out about it drying out my lips or getting smudged all over my face. I just love it! Unfortunatelly, I don't think it is still avaliable in the stores, because it was a part of the Matchpoint Limited Edition, but you can still get it online here.  

A few weeks ago, I shared my everyday fall makeup look with you, which looks very natural, but today I'm here to show you the bolder version that ends up on my face whenever I'm feeling a bit 'braver'. The truth is, I LOVE bold lipsticks, but I never tend to wear them outside my house. I'm always worried that they will smudge all over my face and I don't want to be one of those girls who need to correct their lipstick every five minutes. So, the only time I opt for a bolder version is when I go to some sort of a fancier party. Which doesn't happen very often. Oh, and when  have like two hours to do my makeup. You wouldn't believe how much time it takes to get those kind of lipsticks smudge proof, transfer free, and precise! Please tell me I'm not the only one having such problems... XD

Today I'll be reviewing another product that I got from mojadrogerija.si - the NYX Girls 'Doll Pink' Round Lip Gloss. Just like the nail polish, it pleasantly surprised me.

Danes imam za vas oceno še enega izdelka, ki sem ga prejela od spletne trgovine mojadrogerija.si - NYX Girls Round Lip Gloss v odtenku 'Doll Pink'. Tako kot lak za nohte, ki sem ga ocenila tukaj, me je tudi lip gloss prijetno presenetil. 

To me, its strongest point is that it is not sticky. As you may already know, I hate sticky lip glosses, which is the reason why I usually don't wear them. The only non-sticky lip gloss I've found so far besides the one I'm reviewing today is this one.

Zame najmočnejša točka tega lip glossa je ta, da na ustnicah ni lepljiv, saj preprosto ne prenesem lepljivega občutka. To je tudi razlog zakaj se ponavadi izogibam kupovanju kakršnih koli lip glossov. NYX Girls lip gloss, ki ga ocenjujem danes, in tale lip gloss sta edina nelepljiva glosa za ustnice, ki sem jih našla do sedaj. Če poznate še kakšnega, mi prosim povejte. :D

Another thing that I love about this lip gloss is the colour. I mean, look at the swatch! Is this not the prettiest pink shade ever?! It is not completely opaque and as bright as it looks in the bottle, but I think it still looks amazing. It has a slight blueish purple undertone and doesn't have any shimmers, which makes me like it even more.

Druga stvar, ki me je pritegnila pa je prečudovita roza barva z modro vijoličastim podtonom. Lip gloss na ustnicah ne zgleda tako živo kot v embalaži, poleg tega pa tudi nima nobenih bleščic, kar ga meni osebno naredi še bolj všečnega. 

The lip gloss feels very smooth on my lips and it also applies smoothly, but I think you have to be quite careful with your application. There's a lot of excess lip gloss on the sponge applicator when you take it out of the tube, so you definitely need to wipe off all the excess lip gloss from the sponge applicator. Otherwise the application can get uneven and the lip gloss gathers around your lips, which can get messy. Another annoying thing I've noticed with this lip gloss or the packaging is that when you close the product, the lip gloss leaks where the tube closes, so you have to wipe that excess off every single time.

Formula lip glosa  ne izsušuje ustnic ter je zelo gladka in kremasta, kljub temu pa je pri nanašanju potrebna previdnost. Ko ga potegneš iz tubice se namreč na aplikatorju nabere precej odvečnega glosa, ki ga je treba pred nanašanjem obrisati. V nasprotnem primeru se glos nanaša neenakomerno in se nabira okrog ustnic. Še ena nadležna stvar povezana s samo embalažo pa je uhajanje lip glosa skozi embalažo. To se zgodi takoj ko zapreš tubico, zato je potrebno uhajajoči glos vedno obrisati preden izdelek pospraviš. 

The lip gloss is not the most long lasting - it stays on my lips for an hour - and has no taste, but it has kind of a strange artificial citrusy scent. It doesn't really bother me personally, and it disappears a few minutes after you put it on your lips anyways.

Lip gloss ni najbolj obstojen, saj na mojih ustnicah zdrži kakšno urico, ter nima okusa. Ima pa malce umeten vonj po citrusih, ki sicer izgine po kakšnih petih minutah nošenja.

So, this brings me to the end of my review. All in all, I really love the colour and the formula of this lip gloss, but I do wish the packaging would be a little bit better. I would love to know if any of you ladies out there are fans of NYX lip glosses and if there are any shades you would recommend to me, as I'm planning to get some more in the future. If you live in Slovenia, you can buy this lip gloss here for 3,12€ on mojadrogerija.si, and the rest of you can get it here. :)

Za konec lahko povem oziroma povzamem, da sta mi barva in formula tega glosa zelo všeč, sama embalaža pa bi lahko bila malo boljša. Če je katera izmed vas ljubiteljica telih lip glossov in ima kakšna priporočila glede odtenkov se priporočam, ker bi z veseljem povečala svojo majno zbirko lip glossov. Mimogrede, 'Doll Pink' lahko dobite tukaj na mojadrogerija.si za 3,12€. 

A few weeks ago I received this MUD Lip Glaze to write a review for a Slovenian site called Click2Chic, and because I was so impressed with the product, I decided to write something about it on my blog as well. 

Girls, I think I've found a dupe for the amazing Clinique Chubby Sticks (review here)! It's Bourjois' Color Boost Glossy Finish Lipstick. After being pretty disappointed with another supposed dupe - Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain (review here) - I didn't want to get my hopes up too high when I decided to give this lipSTICK a try, but it pleasantly surprised me. 

It is just as moisturizing and buttery as the Clinique Chubby Sticks, it is not sticky, and it gives you a pretty glossy-like finish. The only difference is that this product is not as sheer. It's quite pigmented. It also has an SPF 15 and is supposed to be waterproof, which makes it perfect for summer. 

The waterproof statement came as quite a surprise to me, because I'm not used to lip products being labeled as waterproof. You usually only see this when it comes to mascaras. Of course I had to test it out right away, so I put the lip product on and put my face under a tap. The things I do for reviews... Lol! Just kidding. No, but I really did put my head in the sink and poured water all over my face. So, how did my little experiment go? The lipstick really did stay on, but it felt quite waxy after and also didn't look too pretty. It was very patchy and just ewww.

The shade that I own is 'Peach on the Beach', and even though I'm totally in love with the formulation, I don't think I'll be able to wear it during the summer. It looked great on me a month or so ago, but now that I'm getting more tanned, it doesn't really suit me anymore. I wish I was able to swatch all the shades before I ended up purchasing this one, because I would probably go for something less orangey pink. I got it in France and they didn't have one single tester! You couldn't even see how the colours looked like in person, because every single product had its own cardboard/plastic packaging. Quite annoying to be honest. Are makeup products sold like that where you live as well? We just have them on stands and there are usually always testers, so you can swatch you life away!

Today I'll be talking about one of the products I picked up in France - L'Oreal Colour Caresse Wet Shine Stain in the shade 'Romy'. I've heard these products being compared to the YSL Glossy Stains, but I've never tried the YSL ones, so I can't really comment on that. What I can comment on, though, is the apparent dupe you can see in the photo. 

Let's first start with the packaging. I LOVE it! It is very sleek and sturdy, it looks somewhat luxurious and I also like that you can clearly see the colour of the stain. I also like the applicator. It is flexible and has a lovely shape, which helps you to be precise with your application. 

Now on to the actual product. If you've watched my little haul that I did in my Val Thorens Day 2 Vlog, you already know what my first impression was. I did not love it, not at all. When I first put it on it looked like nothing, so I was really disappointed. It blended in with my actual lip colour and I was not impressed. Luckily, my friend Lucia, also known as the GirlyFrame on youtube, who also owns this product, advised me to try to apply it differently. She told me to apply one layer, let it dry, and then apply another one. All I can say is, THANK YOU LU! Because of her tip, this product has become one of my current favourite lip products. 

As I have said, 'Romy' is unfortunatelly not the most pigmented shade - the darker ones seem to be much better when it comes to that - but you can definitely build it up by using the just mentioned method. I do have one more thing to say about the colour, though. It oxidizes! It becomes darker after a couple of minutes on my lips. I still like it, but this is something that you definitely need to take into consideration when you're buying the product. As far as the texture goes, it is quite different from what I'm used to. It is very wet when you first apply it, but it gets creamy after a while. It is not sticky (THANK GOD!), doesn't dry out your lips, stays on for quite some time, and has a very nice, sweet smell. 

Overall, I am a big fan of this lip product. I love how it gives my lips a glossy shine and makes them look a bit plumper without having to put up with annoyingly sticky or tingly lip glosses. I'll probably be buying a few extra shades! Have you maybe tried out this product? Do you also love it as much as I do?

I recently ran out out of my Lush Mint Julips Lip Scrub, and since I didn't have time to go pick up another jar, I finally decided to make my own one. Scrub, not jar. In case you want to know how I've made it, you can check out the video below! The process is really easy and you can probably find all the ingredients you need in your kitchen. 

Ohh, just to let you know, this scrub turned out quite liquidy at first, so I later added a bit more sugar, which made it much better. If you'll end up making it yourself, I would advise you to put in less honey and more sugar.

Now I only have one question for you. Would you maybe be interested in seeing more (beauty) DIYs here on my blog?

I'm officially insane. Why, you ask? Because I now apparently buy make-up products just because of their cute packaging. But who could say no to this adorable little face, right?! Speaking about the packaging, I almost couldn't open this cutie pie! I'd been trying to pull the cap off for almost an hour and it just didn't want to cooperate with me. I honestly started to think that it was glued to the rest of the product, but then my dad finally managed to take it off. 

Initially, I didn't really know what to expect from this Tony Moly Petite Bunny Gloss Bar. I haven't tried any Asian products before and I haven't read much reviews on them, so it was a bit of a risk getting it. But as it turned out, it's actually quite lovely. As expected, it is very lip balmy - sheer, moisturizing and a little bit glossy. It's one of those easy-to-work-with lip products I've been obsessing over lately. The only downside is its staying power. On my lips, it doesn't even last for an hour, but this is something that I find with every lip balm kind of product. By the way, I got this product in the shade #3 Juicy Apple here for a little over 4€ including shipping. 

Have you tried this product or any other Asian products before? I would love to get some more in the future, so any recommendations are more then welcome. :)

A few weeks ago, my sister went to The Czech Republic for a basketball tournament and brought me back  'Glinda the Good' lip balm from Essence's 'Oz the Great & Powerful' collection. It is supposed to be colour changing, but I haven't really noticed that. It always looks the same on me. Having said that, I still really like it. It has a slight pink tint and looks great when you want to achieve no make-up make-up look. Being a lip balm, it is sheer but also very moisturising, which is always a plus. The only thing that bothers me a little bit is the smell. It reminds me of a syrup medicine I had to drink when I was little. :D

A few weeks ago, I showed you the 'Berry Smoothie' lip butter I like to wear on a day-to-day basis for school (review+swatch here), but I've just remembered that I still have to show you the two I picked up in London.

Like all the lip butters, they too are moisturizing and glide on your lips. The staying power is not that strong, but you can't expect too much from a lip balm-ish product anyway. The pigmentation, however, is pretty amazing! You can see the swatches below. The first one is 'Candy Apple', which is by the way my favourite lip butter out of the bunch', and the second one is 'Raspberry Pie'.

'Berry Smoothie' Lip Butter has lately been my go-to lip product. The shade is very similar to my actual lip color, just a bit darker, so it's perfect for my casual school look. And because it's so similar to my lips, I also don't have to worry about any lines left around my lips when the color wears off and about reapplying it all the time.

Revlon Lip Butters are one of those product that really do deserve all the hype they're getting. They are buttery - go figure - and therefore easy-peasy fuss-free to apply, they are quite moisturizing, and the color selection is pretty great as well.  Having said that, they do have one tiny negative feature - the staying power. They tend to wear off after an hour or so. 

This is the swatch of this shade. If you want to see how it looks like on my lips, you can check out my 'Cosmopolitan Blend Perfection Sponge Review' post. 

P.S. The lip butters are now finally avaliable in Slovenia, yay! I keep buying more and more of them, so you can expect a few more 'Revlon Lip Butter' posts. :D

I know that every beauty blogger is currently raving about the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stains, but let me introduce you to their older cousins - Clinique Chubby Sticks. I bought these babies on an airplane ride back from Dubai a few months ago, and I am so glad I did!

They are described as moisturizing lip colour balms, which I think is a perfect wording for these products. They go on smoothy and moisturize your lips just like nourishing lip balms and are therefore perfect for dry lips as well. What I love about them is that they don't dry out your lips even when the product rubs off, which I've experienced with the L'Oreal Rouge Caresse Lipsticks. 

I got them in three colors: Mega Melon, Woppin' Watermelon and Super Strawberry. I love all of them, but my favorite has to be the Woopin' Watermelon. It's my favorite summer lip product and I'm definitely repurchasing it when I run out of it. 

As you can see, these products are not very pigmented, but you can definitely build the color up. I know that some of you won't like the lack of pigmentation, but I think they are amazing if you want to go for a natural, effortless look. I also love the subtle sheen they give!
