Lumene Raspberry Miracle Lip Sorbet

Long and strange name for a very simple product. Most of you have probably heard of Clinique's chubby sticks? No? Well, the chubby sticks are very moisturizing, sheer lipstick that looks like a big chubby pencil; hence the name. And Lumene's Raspberry Miracle Lip Sorbet is just the same. It is supposed to work as a lip pencil, lipstick, lipgloss and lip balm in the same time, which, I guess, is great if you like to make things simple for yourself.

Is this product as cool as it sounds then? In a way yes. It does give your lips some color, some shine and definitely moisturizes them better than any regular lipstick/gloss does. The major drawback is that it does not last as long as a lipstick. It definitely last a lot longer than a lipgloss though!
Another thing that I don't like is that it only comes in pretty feeble shades.

This is one of the most vibrant shades in which this product exists. Bright, raspberry red that I would consider a red lipstick for beginners, since it's very easy to pull off. Definitely a great shade for summer!

Well, what are your thoughts on all-in-one lip products like this one? Is it something you use? Why or why not?

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Lumene CC Cream

I usually hate low-budget foundations. Most of them are only available in shades too dark for my snow white skin and when applied they just look and feel awful. I just hate them. When Lumene launched their CC cream, however, I got very curious.

I guess the CC creams are a sequel to the BB creams. Whereas the BB is just a tinted day cream, the CC cream provides with more coverage without taking away any of its ancestor's skin caring abilities.

My regular work makeup look.

The CC creams by Lumene are available in three shades; Light, Medium and Deep, which are all indeed very light (Yay, good for me!).
To be honest I was actually surprised when I tried this foundation on and it "melted" into the skin, resulting in a flawless finish that looks like - well - skin, rather than a crappy drugstore foundation.

The main drawback is probably that you will have that "glow" on your skin which you might not appreciate too much if you've got oily/combination skin.

Looks like skin: 4/5
Feels like skin: 4/5
Longevity: 5/5
Price: 139 SEK (≈ $21)
Suitable for: Someone who don't want to spend a fortune on a decent foundation.

Honestly, this foundation is great so if you have the chance to try it out then do so!

Thank you for reading! :)

Review: Lumene True Natural Mascara

Sorry for my absence this week! I've had some things to do this week so blogging has been far too neglected. I promise that next week will be better though; this weekend will be spent doing preparing some blogposts for you guys. :)

At work we've had a super-duper campaign on the True Natural mascara from Lumene. It's 50% off so I decided to try it out, since I'm growing pretty fond of Lumenes skin care products.

If someone asked me to describe this mascara the first word popping up among the tangled webs of my thoughts is "Everyday". It is definitely an everyday mascara. Nothing special. Just a regular mascara, so to speak. I guess you could build some volume with it if you are not scared of clumpy lashes. If you are, however, trying to build volume is definitely to press your luck.

Yes, I have the worlds shortest and most boring eyelashes... -___-

What is good with this mascara then? Well, first of all the fact that it contains over 80% natural ingredients which is great if you have sensitive eyes (like I do...). It doesn't irritate my eyes at all. I usually never have any problems with the mascara falling down under my eyes or smudging during the day and this mascara is no exception. Although it feels rather sticky during the application it stays put when it has embraced your lashes!

The brush is a little bit clumsy, though, and attracts a little too much excess mascara for my taste but scraping off the excess on the tube or on a piece of tissue solves the problem.

Price: 119 SEK /9ml
Buy again? Maybe I will, I'm not sure...

Have you tried this mascara? Or any other of Lumenes mascaras/products?

Thank you for reading and hope you found this post interesting! :)
