Nyx ( Heather and Frappucino) and Essence (all about cupcake) lipstick swatches.

Well well well.....

I would like to thank all of my followers, who little by little are growing in numbers :) Thank you very much! ♥

So.. Yesterday I went to Hondos Center (kind of Greek version of Sephora - more popular in Greece than Sephora- ) to buy a nail polish of my fave brand seventeen.

Something caught my eye, and was a cosmetics stand of the German brand ''essence''. Essence is super cheap, with okay quality. I first saw it 3 years ago to a (business)  trip I had to Germany. It had some football matches so colleauges were watching football and I decided to go shopping instead. I bought some nail polishes and lipglosses back then. I remember loving the polishes :)

So, I got my self an eyeshadow base, a lipstick (around 2.5€) , a nail polish and a dry-fast nail drops (yes, it IS useless but anyway)....

Together with Nyx's Heather and Frappucino, I am going to swatch essence's no #53 ''All about cupcake''.

This time my photos are very -very crappy, my camera is old, and probably in its last days,too... Its only 6mP . I have it for like .. 5 years !!!



Here are the lipsticks in natural light

   

Here is Nyx's Frappucino:

 

Frappucino is an orangy-pink-brown-nude whatever color... Its a best seller, but its not MY color.

Its not that is bad, with certain make-up will actually look better, but its not that its my favorite either. Its not because of the color itself, but because of MY colors.

I am very pale myself (NC20) and very ''deadly-white'', too. You know, my cheeks are never naturally blushed, my undertones are yellow,etc....

Here is Nyx's Heather :



This color is very-very creamy. Its so much creamy that seems like shimmering while it is not.

I was kinda dissapointed on Heather to be honest . I thought it was a natural color , on the purple side (which it is ), and it looks great in the photos but ...

.....Its not that  flattering in reality.

It seems ''fake'' in lips (do I make sense?) , and makes teeth look more yellow. Maybe its not flattering to me though, I don't know..

And here is Essence's All about cupcake. (last photo is my bare lips)

    

Its sheer.Very sheer. It gives you that pinky-natural color, but its almost like wearing a lip balm. Compared to my bare lips, it gives just a pinky glimpse of color.

It has a nice smell which I can't really tell what it is, but a bit ''cheap-quality'' packaging, though its a modern-looking packaging...

Bottom line?... Hm, I don't know. I can't really tell about ''All about cupcake'' since It gives only a little color. No negative thoughts for sure.. But I.. don't know..

What do you think about the lipsticks and the shades? You liked any? Do you have any of those? Who looks better one me ?

Thank you once again
