ESSENCE LONG LASTING LIPGLOSS-MATT EFFECT

Hello!
Today I have a review for you on essence matt effect long lasting lipglosses aka liquid lipsticks.I found out about these a long time ago,decided to buy one to try it out and instantly fell in love.Essence has recently released some new colors,so I picked up another one and now I'm doing a review.So let's start!


Essence XXXL longlasting lipglosses with matt effect come in this nice,simple packaging.On the back it says: longlasting,silky lipcream for a soft matt finish.I am not a huge lover of lipglosses,which is good because these are not lip glosses at all.

These are basically liquid lipsticks with a soft,creamy,velvety finish.When I think of matt lipsticks,a lot of them are very drying and get stuck in those lines on your lips and don't feel comfortable.These ones are not like that at all.

My favorite thing about them is their amazing formula that you get for a really low price.There are a lot of  brands such as Bourjois that make matt,liquid lipsticks just as nice but for a lot more money.Similar to these are also NYX butter glosses.

These lipsticks do last quite a long time,not all day but just enough for me:)

As I said before,I picked out two shades:

This is the one that I first bought,that is why the name is gone so I had to write it myself,haha.(I know my writing isn't the nicest).So this is in the shade 06 SOFT NUDE.I love using this for more natural looks or the ones when I have a crazy eye makeup so I need a natural lip.
The color is very nice nude pink,kind of like that Kylie Jenner lip:)

The next one is a little bit more fun,which is why I picked it up now that it's summer!
  This one is in the color 15 CORAL MOUSSE and it's a really pretty pinky coral.I love this one so much and it's such a fun way to brighten up your look for the summer.


Both of these colors are really pretty and I would definitely recommend trying them out,you won't regret it.

Here is side by side swatch,so you can see the colors compared.

I hope you really liked this post.I've been working all day on my blog and a lot of new and fun posts that you will hopefully like.Maybe you noticed that I have changed it up a bit and I've been trying to upload every day and I really like my blog now!Don't forget to let me know what do you think of these if you try them out and if you have any recommendations on what I should try next!

WHAT'S IN MY BAG?-SUMMER EDITION

Hello!
This post is going to be all about what I keep in my bag.So let's start!

   ABOUT MY BAG:
This is my bag.I got it from h&m on sale for $15 about a year ago.As you can see,it's black with a little bit of gold details.It has a long strap so you can wear it across your body,on your shoulder or in your hand.It is such a perfect bag for me because it's not too big or too small.You can fit a lot of stuff in it and it's perfect for travelling too.

WHAT'S INSIDE:

Fist thing is my wallet.It's black with gold details to match my bag and I got it for Christmas so I don't know where it's from:(

Next,I always keep this cute little notebook and a pen.I use it to plan my blog posts,to make what to buy lists and things like that.I also really like this pen.On one end it's highlighter,on the other end you twist it and change colors(there is red and blue) or turn it into a pencil.

This is something I ALWAYS keep in my bag especially now that is summer.My new water bottle from IKEA.It tends to be really hot outside and it's important to keep yourself hydrated.

(sorry for the bad photo with flash)
Now that it's summer I keep my sunglasses with me all the time as well.These ones are from the store called Mango.I also keep these little wipes,so I can clean them.

I always like to have a small pack of makeup wipes with me as well as some tissues.

If you have braces,you know the struggle of every food getting stuck in your teeth.That is why I always keep these Interdental sticks to remove it.As you can tell there is only one more left,I need to buy new ones:(



I also have this little makeup bag that my sister got me from Rome.It's so pretty and perfect to keep my necessities in:

  
Hand sanitizer and l'occitane hand cream

Some lip products:

1.The body shop lip butter
2.Essence lipstick in 07 natural beauty
3.Essence lipstick in 04 on the catwalk!
4.KIKO smart lip pencil in 712

This cute little hair brush with a mirror and a hair clip

And that is it!Sometimes I will carry a book with me,but usually not everyday.If you're interested,I'm currently reading Paper Towns by John Green,the movie is coming out at the end of July and I am beyond excited!I hope you enjoyed reading this post and don't forget to let me know what is your bag essential below!

MINI IKEA HAUL!

Hello!
Few days ago,my mum,my sister and I went to IKEA and I picked up a few really cute things that I decided to show you today!Soo,lets start!



The first thing that I really needed is a nice table mirror.I have a huge vanity mirror,but that one is too big and far for doing my makeup up close,plus,that one I can't take with me if I'm doing my makeup in another room.The thing that I like about it is that it has two sides.One side is REALLY up close(I don't look good that close up!!),which I use when putting on mascara,and the other side is just a normal mirror:)


The next thing that I got is pretty simple..a water bottle.I mean,you can put anything you want in it,but I use it for water.I need this in summer time because it's way too hot here and I am always thirsty,so I carry it everywhere.It's just a really nice water bottle that isn't expensive and it doesn't spill in your purse(!!).
I am warning you now I am soo late with this one!I feel like the whole world has these little white pots from IKEA that they hold their makeup brushes in,so of course I had to get one myself!I don't have a ton of makeup brushes yet,but I think this little holder is so adorable so I did get just one!:)


You can use them for whatever you want.For flowers,for pencils,for nail polish,or makeup brushes like me!


And lastly,I had to get some candles.I adore IKEA candles!I have always struggled with making my room smell nice with a candle because my room is pretty big and all of the candles that I got weren't strong enough.But these ones really do make my room smell amazing!I never liked spending a ton of money on candles,for example yankee candles are really expensive here(we don't have bath and body works where I live),but these ones are not pricey and just perfect for me!


The red one is strawberry which smells soo good!I burned it already a little bit and my room smells yummy!And the other one is a nice flowery fresh scent,perfect for summer!

So that's all for my MINI IKEA haul,I hope you enjoyed this!What is your favourite candle?Leave me a comment;)
