Collective Makeup Haul: Lips, nails & brushes



Hey! Long time no haul!

I've been collecting a few things for a month now that I've been meaning to share in here and I have't for whatever reason so, now that October is over (rhyme!), I'm going to do it.
Some things were gifts and I bought others. I'm sure there are a few things missing because I've been using them but, because of that I can give you a small review or at least an impression on them.

Let's get started!

💚 NAILS:

These 3 babies are from Essence, which has become one of my favorite nail polish brands since I discovered them back in Spain and I finally found a place to get them here so, expect more Essence in the future, hehe.
All of them are from The Gel Nail Polish line.
Ok, two of them are glitter nail polishes: "Crashed the party" (101) which is a silver color that I already have but my mom got me another one because I really liked it. And "Rainbow with Sprinkles" (111) which is a beautiful pale pink. Both are very long lasting. I usually feel like glitter nail polishes are little more long lasting than creamy or metallic ones. Maybe it's just me.





The other one is called "Rockablue" (115). It looks like a pastel blue/gray shate to me. It has a subtle pearly finish and... the packaging is really cute.



💚 BLUSH:

I loved the Mosaic Blush I got from Essence almost a year ago, I always get so many nice comments when I'm wearing it so I decided to buy another shade, "Natural Beauty" (35). This one is a mix of pinks and peachy colors, one of the pink colors has a glowy finish which gives your skin a very nice and fresh look.
I believe they have one more shade for this Mosaic Blush line... maybe I'll get it next time!!



The next one is from Karuku. It is a brand I recently discovered and I gotta say, I've been liking it so far. They had a huge variety of colors and they were having a 2x1 sale so I got one for me and one for my mom. It doesn't have a special name, and the color is number 3, which is a pink color with a matte finish.
I really like the color but, I also want to mention a few things I appreciate about the packaging: It comes with a back mirror (a decent one, not one of those super magnifying mirrors), a small brush and the flower details on the product make it look really cute even tho the packaging is pretty simple and clean. Not to mention the price was pretty good. I feel like some more expensive products don't have these little details sometimes so yeah, that was a nice "extra".




💚 LIPS:

First we have the Miniso So Chic Korean Style Lip Tint in number 05 "Sakura Pink". Wanna guess why I got it? Yup, Sakura.
I thought the color would be a lot lighter but it is actually a bright pink, it is very pigmented and watery. It smells delicious! Reminds me of aloe water. (doesn't taste like it tho)
Application wise is great but I feel like it sets on the line of my lips once it dries so I have to apply lip gloss or something on top to make it look more hydrated.
Packaging is pretty! Pink, white and a hint of gold.



I quickly mentioned the next one in my latest favorites post. My Colors Lip Gloss in number 08. It looks pretty similar to the Sakura pink but, it is slightly darker and this one has a matte finish. Which is funny considering it says it has a "shine effect"
It is super duper long lasting and it doesn't make my lips feel sticky like most matte liquid lippies do. The packaging reminds me to the TonyMoly Cats Wink line.



Lastly, we have a mini liquid lipstick from The Balm. This was a gift from my friend Ceci. The color is called "Dedicated" and even tho it is a hot pink color, it has a red undertone.
Durability is great too! And it smells like choco-mint so...the yummiest!



💚 EYES:

I also got this loose Shimmering Eyeshadow from Bissú when I went to the store with my firend Ceci a while ago. The color is super pretty and pigmented but, I gotta be honest, I haven't used it much.
The color is number 27 and it's a champagne  pink shade.


💚 BROWS:

Also from Bissú, is this brow pencil in "Lechero". They had a huge variety of colors and they all had coffee related names. It comes with a brush on one end and the pencil on the other.



💚 BRUSHES:


The eyeshadow brush is from Essence and it says "Afraid of nothing" I believe it was from a collection but I honestly don't know more about it.
The other two were a part of a Fairy inspired brush set from Spain. They are really cute and soft.

And, that is it from my collective makeup haul! See you next time!
