Lolita Lempicka perfume is the product I am most excited to talk about! I remember having given it a sniff back in March during my little trip to a mall nearby and got obsessed ever since! My purpose actually was to try on the Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noire but I must say I was disappointed. However, this one is one of the most beautiful perfume I ever try, and surprisingly it immediately makes me think of my mother's green tea :) Long story short: I adore this so much even though my go-to note is rose. Warm, sensual and exotic.

Sleek Vintage Romance i-Divine palette ($11.99 for 12x1.1g/ 12x0.03oz) came out last September just in time for the wintertime that features vintage gold and purple hues. Mine came in the standard black outer packaging instead of the beautiful golden vintage-looking one even though on their website it still shows that latter. I am not sure why, maybe it was just available for a limited time? However it displeases me quite a lot.

Create stunning eye makeup with 12 shades of super pigmented eye shadow. i-Divine palettes are suitable for all skin tones adding a touch of stylish sophistication to take you from day to night. Each palette includes a matte dark colour, ideal for definition or perfecting that classic smoky effect.

You have no idea how happy I was to receive my little (well, not really) package from MUA which I ordered almost a month ago but was only delivered now. The Makeup Academy MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquer (£3.00, I cannot find this piece of information either on the tube or on the packaging but on their website it states 6ml) is their exciting new launch that was the main reason why I placed my order. The line consists of five shades: Criminal (bright pink), Funk (bright pink with a little strawberry twist), Reckless (red), Atomic (neon orange) and Kooky (deep purple). They were launched around the end of last year but have been almost always sold out. Today I have two of the shades to show you.

Spring, what spring? I am not particularly into specific colors for specific season (even though I very much enjoy red and green for Christmas) so I can reach for my burgundies and plums and even black whenever my mood persuades me to. Illamasqua Pristine (£18.50 for 4g / 0.14oz) is a pure black with a matte finish as described on their website that speaks volume: Not your average anthropomorphous hologram! (alright, I know I am quite hyper today).

Let your lips speak volumes. Indulge in colour-intense lipstick with a highly pigmented formula, available in a choice of flawless finishes, from creamy matt to iridescent finishes. Illamasqua Lipstick glides on smoothly and doesn't give up without a fight for the perfect all-night pout. A must have for professional make-up artists, and those who want to make a statement.

Yes you heard that right! If you live in the US (or have a friend to order for you), you can get the set of Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette & Full Size Shadow Insurance for only $29.00 (retail price $49 for the palette and $20 for the primer) on HSN.

Currently it is sold at $49, but they have the offer of $20 off your very first order of $40 or more with code 148145, so you basically can get $40 off the normal retail price which is simply too great to believe.

Be quick as you know, this deal is too great it will be sold out in a second!

Sleek Blush By 3 in Pumpkin ($14.99 for 20g/ 0.68oz) is one of the permanent shades in the blush range. Just like the other Blush By 3 palettes, each contains 3 shades with normally 3 different finishes (except for Pink Sprint which has all mattes). The packaging is the usual standard Sleek products which houses a pretty full size mirror inside. The palette feels sturdy and a bit heavy, and in all seriousness it appears much more high-end for the price tag.

Sleek Pout Paint in Minx ($7.49 for 8ml/ 0.27fl.oz) is long dubbed a dupe (oh hey I'm sorry! :D) for the OCC Lip Tars. The range consists of 11 permanent shades that are meant to be either worn alone or mixed to create more unique colors, which is exactly the purpose of the Lip Tars. I do not have any OCC ones to compare so I will only focus on how this product works rather than how similar it is to the other. It comes in a squeeze transparent tube packaging style that allows you to distinguish the shade with a matte black cap, quite nice to look at and is extremely tiny: it measures around 6cm in length (what is this, a lip product for ants?)

Pout Paint is a lip stain like no other! Providing lips with intense colour and a long-lasting finish, it’s the perfect product when you demand more colour. Pout Paint is made to be mixed, so the possibilities are endless.

• Provides full coverage that is light weight
• Non-sticky and extremely buildable

Are you happy to meet me too, Matt(e)? Cuz I am.

theBalm Meet Matt(e) Nude Palette ($42.00 for 25.5g - 0.9oz on theBalm) is the descendant of the well know original Meet Matt(e) palette which, as the name suggests, includes all matte shades but in a variety of color. This palette, however, is filled with nude shadows that can fulfill any neutral lover's desire.

Another Flormar Mono Eyeshadow post, I know. I wrote one 2 months ago about three of their matte eyeshadows here, but today three out of four are shimmery / metallic shades. I know Flormar is not the most easily accessible brand but I am just obsessed with these lovely little shadow pots. I have these in M13, 02, 010 and 020 for you today.

Illamasqua Cream Pigment in Androgen - I do wonder why they chose such name, it sounds utterly irrelevant! (£17.50 for 8g) is describe as a coral. I specifically enjoy their detailed description where you can find almost all necessary information and usage recommendation regarding their products.

This intensely colour-rich, matt and crease-resistant formula has been designed for use on the face, eyes, lips and body. Apply with an Illamasqua brush or simply use your fingers for a buildable, water-resistant, highly pigmented finish.

This advanced formulation provides additional adhesion and colour-intensification when applied before Powder Eye Shadow and Pure Pigment. The product can be used sheer or built to full coverage. Apply with a longer bristle brush to achieve a sheer colour and texture payoff whereas selecting a flat brush will deposit more colour density and texture payoff. 

So I was shopping yesterday and as soon as I saw this quad I knew I had to get it. Maybelline Eyestudio Eyeshadow Quads' formulation is one of my favorites since it is pigmented, smooth and easy to blend. I have them in Sunset Seduction, Irresistibly Ivy and Mad For Mauve, so why wouldn't an addition be welcomed?

This one has quite a funky name - Spirited Seas (?!), which inevitably makes me thinks of mermaids, but we don't have the beautiful unicorn-tears colors (think about all those glistening greens and blues and pearls!). It is unfortunately a discontinued product but you can still snatch one on Amazon for 2.5g/ 0.09oz (roughly the weight of a standard-sized eyeshadow) The product comes in an absolute flimsy plastic small compact yet can be even smaller since I think the space for such rubbish sponge tip applicator is a waste.

Do you like my new photography style? Say that you do!

Just kidding! I am bringing you another product from Makeup Academy MUA - a UK-based company which I fell in love with over a year ago and have been enjoying their offerings ever since. They are well known for lovely yet affordable makeup products, nail accessories and recently brushes. I got these during their 50% sitewide plus free international shipping last February, I think. I in fact am not willing to recall that period since the shopping experience was a nightmare, which was expected since the deal was so great in conjunction with their already low price points.

Today I have the Makeup Academy MUA Out There Plumping Lipgloss (£2.00 but currently on sale for only £1.00  on their website) in Peach Shimmer and Sienna to present to you, and later on Buff and Pink Sugar since I just placed yet another other last week.

Brace yourself since Illamasqua's Summer 2014 collection is out!

It consists of completely new formulation and color offerings from Illamasqua:
