P2 Sunset Boulevard - Review & Swatches

Hello guys!

I hope you are doing well!

Today I want to review a lipstick that I own for a very long time, but never really appreciated it. It is the P2 Pure Color Lipstick - Sunset Boulevard which is a cheap German drugstore brand as this lipstick only costs 1,95€. Anna Saccone mentioned this lipstick in one of her latest favourite videos and I remembered that I own this lipstick too. So I pulled it out of my drawer, started using it properly for the first time and I really liked this lipstick. I can'r really understand why I haven't used it that often.

is originally lighter 

The pure color lipstick provides for intensive colour. Despite its very light formulation, the lipstick is long-lasting and offers an intensive colour-payoff. The optimal acutance prevents the lipstick from creasing on wrinkles at the lips. Hyaluronic acid provides for intensive care.

*Side note: Translated by me. I have no idea what they mean with acutance.*

Swatch - natural light

Swatch - artificial light

• creamy consistency
• beautiful pale pink colour; can be worn with and without heavy eye make up
• don't have to worry about applying
• price

• creamy consistency
• packaging
• creases on the inner side of the lips

★★★☆☆ Stars

As much as I love the colour and really enjoyed wearing this lipstick with a lot of blush on my cheeks and only mascara on my eyes, the formulation is not the best. I don't mind the creamy consistency, but you have to check yourself in the mirror as the lipstick creases on the inner side of your lips and that looks really disgusting. So, I would prefer a stickier version of this lipstick, however, if you like the colour and don't mind checking yourself a bit more often in the mirror, then you can buy it.

Have you been in Germany and tested one of the P2 products?

Wish you a wonderful day! 

Love,

DM Make-up Haul, Swatches & Little Reviews

Hey guys!

How are you?

It has actually been a really long time since I have been taking photos, editing them, writing and posting a blogpost right away. I have been learning for my final exams during the last weeks and today I forced myself to take a break and do something that I really enjoy which is blogging. So I thought you might be interested in knowing which products I purchased yesterday in my local drug store. These are actually the products that I am going to use for my everyday make-up routine.

I have never had an everyday make-up routine, but recently, because of the stress, I crapped for almost the same products every day, so that finally, I am ready to show you my everyday make-up routine in my future posts ;)

The Haul 

 

I bought the new Catrice Longlasting Eye Pencil in 050 Brown Town Girl from the new product range which claims to be waterproof. The pencil includes a sharper at the end.

Catrice Eye Pencil - Swatch

Because of the small pencil, one can draw a really thin, precise and subtile line along the lash line. It is a really dark brown colour that stayed on really well even after my professional rubbing test. 

 

Another Catrice product is the cream lip and cheek colour from the current Neo Geisha LE available from January to March 2013. The shade is the lightest one in 01 Discreet Artist.

Swatch in different lights

It is a soft, pale pink colour that would look great on pale skin. The colour pay-off is not comparable with the Maybelline cream blushes, however, this would be perfect for make-up beginners who are still afraid of blush and struggle with handling the colour pay-off.The colour looks like a pale pink on the lips, but I think you can do that with every cream blush.

L'oréal lipstick (colour on photo is not true to original) 

I think the L'oréal Lipstick Rouge Caresse in 120 Mauve Cherie is also new in their product range and because L'oréal is so expensive here, this purchase was definitely made by this luxury packaging. 

 

I would have never purchased the P2 Heavenly lip mousse if a youtube hadn't recommended it to me because the packaging wasn't that attractive to me. I chose the shade 050 sweet time pleasure.

The L'oréal lipstick is really smooth and even though it has a sheer texture, it lasts on the lips for several hours. It is a beautiful mauve pink colour which is great for every day, however, surprisingly, the lipststick dried out my lips a tiny bit during the really old winter days.

The P2 lip mousse has, as the name says, a mousse texture, but that doesn't make it uncomfortable on the lips. The colour is a bit lighter than the L'oréal lipstick, but still a beautiful dusty pink colour which looks really flattering and great with nearly every eye make-up. The lasting is really great! I applied it in the morning and the colour was still visible around lunch time even after drinking.

So this was my latest haul. I hope you liked this really up-to-date post with the little reviews and all the swatches as much as I enjoyed writing it for you! Let me know what you bought the last couple of weeks and what do you think about the new products in the make-up brands?

Wish you a wonderful sunday! Love,

Nude Nails - P2 Elegant

Obwohl es Frühling ist, wollte ich ein wenige Nute tragen. Ich hatte mir den P2 Nagellack Elegant vor ungefähr 3 Monaten gekauft und war nach dem ersten Auftragen mit der Farbe überhaupt nicht zufrieden. Ich weiß nicht genau, was ich mir damals von der Farbe erwartetet habe, doch nun nach 3 Monaten Pause finde ich die Farbe einfach nur wunderbar, zeitlos und wie der Name sagt elegant!

Vielleicht ist jetzt meine Haut schon ein wenig gebräunt, daher wirkt die Farbe nun besser. Dennoch ist es wirklich eine richtige Nude-Farbe, die mit der Hautfarbe übergehen.

Der einzige Nachtteil an dem Nagellack ist, dass er trotz Base- und Topcoat sehr schnell vorne abplatzt, dennoch kann man gegen einen Preis von 1,55€ schlecht etwas sagen.

Ich wünsche Euch noch einen wunderschönen Feiertag!

Alles Liebe,

Nail Of The Day: P2 Poetic

Da so langsam auch bei uns der Frühling auftaucht und die Temperaturen langsam aber sicher sich der 20°C Grenze nähern, dachte ich, dass ich diese Frühlingsgefühle doch auch auf meinen Nägel zeige ;)

Es ist der wunderschöne Nagellack von P2 in der Farbe "Poetic" für 1,55€.

Ein wunderschöner, dunkler Fliederton, der meines Erachtens nach perfekt in den Frühling passt.

Unglücklicherweise splittert dieser Nagellack sehr schnell von meinen Nägel, aber dennoch liebe ich diese Farbe!

Kennt ihr schon diese Farbe von P2?

Massive DM + MAC Haul!

I know that I have way to much make up and that I have to stop buying new stuff and just using the things that I own. However, every single time I go to the drugstore I can not resist going to the make up counters. And unfortunately, I always find something that I definitely want to have.

Last week I was in the super drug quiet often, so here is my massive haul where are definitely invested to much money in make up again.

Alverde shine shampoo with lemon blossom and apricot for 1,95€. This is a natural shampoo without any chemicals or silicons. I use it now in order to find out if silicon-free shampoos are different shampoos which contain silicons.

Alverde hair mask with lemon blossom and apricot for 3,30€. This is the matching mask and I am also excited about the results.

Two nail polishes from P2 for 1,55€. The left one is a neon pink colour called 630 passion, the left one is  a bright green called 620 artful.
Catrice 840 Genius in a Bottle is the nail polish in the middle and costs 2,49. This is a dupe to the Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour 531 Peridot.

Balea MED pH adjusted soap-free washing lotion for about 1€. This washing lotion is amazing because you get 400 ml for 1€! I haven't used it yet but I will definitely review this products because I think this price is absolutely amazing!

Balea MED pH adjusted hand cream for 2€. I have to use it a bi longer in order to give you a detailed opinion.

Catrice Wet And Dry Eyeshadow in the colour 030 Vanilla Sky Ride for 3,79. This is the perfect highlighting colour I have ever seen in the drugstore, I have to write a blog post about this.

Catrice Ultimate Colour Lipstick 190 The Nuder The Better for 3,99. An absolute gorgeous nude which I have searched for ages.
Manhattan Soft Mat Lipcream in 54L for 3,95. This is a mixture of a lipgloss and a matt lipstick. I love this product because of this unique consistency.

My new treasures

MAC lipliner in the shade Subculture for 12€. A nice nude, my lips but just better lipliner which I would even wear without a lipstick on top.

MAC lipstick in Blankety for 18€. This lipstick suits to the lipliner. Even though I find this lipstick a bit to ashy, I really love MY FIRST MAC LIPSTICK!

Let me know if you want to have a review from a specific product!

Did you buy anything the last weeks?
