LaurEss lipglosses in Sassy & Harmony

I've searching for natural lipgloss like MAC boy bait, which I love (the color) and hate (the ingredients). So the gloss needs to be light, natural and without shimmer, I thougt LaurEss lipglosses in Harmony and Sassy might be quite close. I ordered 11/25, got shipping mail 12/1 and received my order 12/8. International shipping is very cheap in LaurEss and I especially love their Elemental foundation!

Olen etsinyt MACin Boy Baitin tapaista kiiltoa mineraalipujuista, toisaalta pidän kovasti Boy Baitista (koostumus ja väri) ja toisaalta inhoan (inci :P). Kiillon pitäisi olla siis hyvin vaalea ja luonnollinen sekä ilman hohtoa. Kuvien perusteella epäilin LaurEssin Sassyn ja Harmonyn olevan aika lähellä oikeaa... Tilasin 25.11., lähestysmeili tuli 1.12. ja tuotteet saapuivat 8.12. Kansainväliset postikulut ovat todella halvat ja pidän erityisesti firman Elemental-pohjasta!

Unfortunately I didn't swatch Boy Bait (you can see Karla Sugar's swatch here) this time but these were not even close, unfortunately... Both Sassy and Harmony are natural colors but I wanted even lighter shade. The quality is not my favorite either: quite thin, not very glossy (not sticky either), disappears quickly and doesn't feel moisturizing enough for my dry lips. I would call these "lip glosses" anyway, these are more like "lip colors". I'll use these but I like Beutiful Girl Minerals lip glosses and Fyrinnae Lip Lustres more :) And my favorite is still Aromaleigh but I wanted to find liquid gloss this time. I ordered full sizes this time, I just don't like those mini size samples (tiny lipgloss tubes) because I noticed that I always lost those. LOL But it's of course very good that samples are available! I think these are ok and maybe you are going to like these more than I do.

Valitettavasti en muistanut swatchata Boy Baitia (yllä linkki KarlaSugarin swatchiin) mutta eivät olleet sitten lähelläkään, valitettavasti... Sekä Sassy että Harmony ovat kyllä ihan luonnollisia mutta etsin omia huuliani vaaleampaa tällä kertaa. Laatukaan ei ollut ihan mieleiseni: ohut, ei kovin kiiltävä, häviää nopeasti ja ei tunnu tarpeeksi kosteuttavalta kuiville huulilleni. Kutsuisin myös ennemminkin huuliväriksi kuin huulikiilloksi. Käytän näitä kyllä mutta pidän enemmän esim. Fyrinnaen Lip Lustreista tai Beautiful girl mineralsin kiilloista. Otin nämä täysikokoisina, sillä en välitä minikokoisista näytteistä juurikaan... Mutta toki hyvä, että sampleja on saatavilla :) Ihan ok nämä ovat ja ehkäpä pidät näistä enemmän kuin minä.





Harmony: "Creamy and matte, light muted peach"
Sassy: "Creamy and matte neutral nude"

Have you tried these? Do you like them? Have you find lipgloss in light natural color and without shimmer?

  2. Hi Marcey! I don't have any SN liquid glosses YET, but I really like the solid ones. So maybe I need to test those too :D

  3. Do the samples of Lauress lipglosses come in jars? I think I'll try beautiful girl minerals' lipppies :) I recently got 2 from the all natural face and i like how the colors look very natural on me but don't moisturizing enough on my dry lips either.

  4. LaurEss samples come in tiny little lipgloss tubes :) BG minerals and Fyrinnae lip lustres are bit more moisturinzing but I still like Aromaleigh lippies most, those are like lipbalms :D Maybe these work better in warmer climate, the wearther in here is now freezing and dry (my lips are so DRY).

  5. Loveley colors!

    I'm also a big fan of LaurEss, especially their blushes. Serendipity is absolutely gorgous! I wanted to order a bunch of samples again this week, but the price for int. shipping (I'm in the Netherlands) has gotten insane! It used to be around USD $4,-, but is now almost USD $17,-!!

    1. Same problem with Alima too :( Unfortunately I won't buy anything with shipping that high (we also have to pay taxes if the order with shipping is higher than about 40€).

  6. Yes, Alima raised their prices as well (they raised their regular prices with USD $1,50 last week), just like EDM, although their shipping is still pretty reasonable (around USD $7,-).
    I also stopped buying from U.S. companies since we have to pay taxes and clearing charges on everything over €22,-. I buy a lot of my MMU from Lily Lolo these days, a UK based company that still has reasonable prices. Since it's in the EU I don't have to worry about taxes either.

Silk Naturals mini-review, lip gloss swatches & EOTD with Charmed

I've been a customer of Silk Naturals nearly two years and the cs has always been excellent. The owner of the company is Karen and she always nice & helpful. My favorites from this company are lip glosses! Silk Naturals has both sheer and more opaque ones, my favorites are very natural ones like: Olen ollut Silk Naturals in asiakas jo lähes 2 vuotta ja asiakaspalvelu firmassa pelaa erittäin hyvin. Firman omistaa Karen, jonka mies on muuten suomalainen ;) Karen on aina vastaillut nopeasti kyselyihini. Omat suosikkini firmalta ovat huulikiillot. Näitä löytyy sekä läpikuultavia että peittävämpiä, suosikkini ovat luonnolliset sävyt kuten: 1. Foreplay (shimmery golden pink) 2. Berry Crush (golden berry, MAC Viva glam V clone) 3. Divine. Oh, my favorite and I couldn't find it from SN website :-O Eek! 4. Darling (peachie pink) These glosses are in slim tubes, I'll try lip gloss wands asap ;) I also liked solid frangrances a lot (Raspberry gingerale & Sexy Vanilla) but may...

shopping in Germany: Alverde & Alterra

Ok, I was in Germany like... in April ;) Well, I bought a lot of Alverde products from DM, the quality is excellent and the prices are VERY affordable! Just a few words about the products and a question. I LOVE Alverde shampoos & conditioners. Most of these products haven't been eco certiified before but I noticed that the Avocado series is now Natrue certified :-O Unfortunately it's not as good as it used to be... Not terrible but not great either, definitely not the product I expected it to be. Yes I know, it's certified now ;) Do you know if Alverde is planning to reformulate all of the shampoos and conditioners? If so, my suitcase will be much lighter in the future. Alverde body butter is THE BEST :D I also like the body lotions. Cranberry hand cream smells SO good... This time I tested some Alterra products from Rossmann too, I must say that I also like these a lot! I tested shampoos, hair conditioner, body lotion, hand cream etc. Just the eye makeup remov...

Mineralissima mineral makeup review

I got some products from Minerallisima for review purpose and for a giveaway :D I have so much mineral makeup that I REALLY can't buy anything anymore so it was great to test a new brand! Mineralissima's website is pleasant to browse and everything seemed very professional. Prices are affordable and so is the shipping. You can also get customer service in Finnish in this company :D And in many other lanquages as well. LOL Tästä postauksesta olisi tullut erittäin sekava kahdella kielellä, joten tällä kertaa vain englanniksi. Hyvä uutinen on se, että Mineralissiman sivut ovat myös suomeksi (ja ei todellakaan google translatella käännetyt ;D). Myös asiakaspalvelua saa Suomeksi! Sivut ovat mukavat selailla ja tuotteet myös todella laadukkaan oloiset. Voin suositella ja tilaan myöhemmin täältä lisääkin testattavaa/ täysikokoisia tuotteita :) Mineralissima foundation 1.2 gives medium (to heavy) coverage on my skin. The color is light (peachy) neutral. I love this foundation...
