Hi girls! Here are swatches of Sephora's beauty items for today's post:
Rouge Shine lipstick no. 29 Latin Lover is a lovelytangerine shade that has creamy texture. It goes on smoothly and doesn't dry my lips. The only downside is that it's not long lasting.
Nano lip liner no. 02 Cute Caramel is a wonderful lip liner and I love this more than MAC Subculture that I used to use. The shade is so subtle, giving the perfect natural pigmented nude lips for my complexion (medium skintone). The pencil itself is quite short, so it runs out so quickly, especially because I use it often (it becomes my fave shade and most of the time I don't layer another lipstick/gloss on top of it).
Sephora Expert Manicure no. 12 The Red is simply a true red, quite generic shade that you can find in most nail polishes. It has beautiful opaque glossy finish and dries out quickly.
So what do you think of Sephora make-up products? What are your fave lipsticks / nail polishes?

Hi girls! Here's another beauty on a budget post. Last weekend I picked 3 items from NYC New York Color at the local drugstore: Expert Last Lipstick in shade 441 Traffic Jam (€2,99), kohl kajal eyeliner pencil in 002 Chocolate Brown (€1,99), and liquid eyeliner in black (€2,49). I haven't tried all of them yet for my makeup look, but the lipstick is fabulous! ^_^
Expert Last Lipstick, what it claims: wears up to 6 hours, long-lasting shine, amplified color, velvety and glamorous finish, perfectly outlines lips, doesn't feather or bleed.
What I think: I'm afraid that I can't write the review about this lipstick cause the claims already speak for itself. It is indeed moisturizing and longwearing. It has gentle smell as well. The shade is matte vibrant red, perfect for glamorous or pin-up inspired makeup. Overall it's a great lipstick, but unfortunately the red shade is too bright (and too red) to my liking. I guess I'd try to layer it over other shade and see how it turns out...
(note: the above swatch is true to the real shade. The first pic swatch is taken using my phone camera app, that's why it doesn't look as red as the second pic).
Have you tried any of NYC New York Color lipsticks yet and what do you think about it?
Love, Indira
Hi everyone! Thought that I'd share something related to 'look of the day' and 'face of the day'. I didn't have time to set up my camera so I took the photos using my phone (so sorry for the photo quality ^_^). Last saturday night we had family dinner party and my outfit is pretty simple, Mango dress & belt, Love Moschino bag, and nude pumps. For the eye makeup, I used Sleek Matte Palette in v2 Darks, and my nail polish is Kiko Milano nail lacquer in no. 294 Indigo.
Wish you wonderful days and stay fabulous! ^_^
