once you love make up, you'll love love love to get another and another items for your collection. And beauty brands, knowing how crazy you're with their product, also love to launch new new new product to fulfill your obssesion.

I've just seeing muse's post about new blush set from tarte, and i'm moved to sephora.com to see some new collection they might have, and i'm so surprised! they have a looooots of new collection .. i  also already put some of them on my never-ending-beauty-wishlist ..

here they're ..

Laura Mercier The Flawless Face Book - usd 59 at Sephora.com

i loveeee sets! it's like i wanna try them all! this set contains of : Tinted Moisturizer Crème Compact Broad Spectrum SPF 20 Sunscreen, Secret Concealer, 

Secret Camouflage 2, Mineral Pressed Powder, Travel-size Secret Camouflage brush and a Double-sided sponge .

Tinted moisturizer is one of LM's best seller product, and they've made it in compact form. It's doesn't as popular as the creme form type, but here it is. LM's secret camouflage and concealer are highly raved by many beauty bloggers, but too bad it's in expensive side. But now it's in a value set, so we can give it a try.

Too Faced Shadow Bon Bons Set - usd 42 on sephora.com

Too faced's packaging are always soo vintage, classic and tempting ｡◕‿◕｡

A lil bit different with another TF's palette which adopting human in their design, this one is quite calm, with only TF's logo and palette's name in front of packaging. I'm not complaining, it's still cute.

SBBS contains of 12 eye shadows, shadow insurance in candle light, and lash gasm mascara. I'm not so interested with eye shadows palette since i do have too much eye shadows, the most tempting part is the mascara. I've so curious about Lash gasm, i've reads some good reviews about it but i'm waiting to get it in set since it would be cheaper.

i can't find this collection in toofaced.com, but sephora tagged it as limited edition. There's no "sephora exclusive" tag there.

Glamour To Go Spun Sugar Edition - usd 22 on sephora.com

this one also from Too Faced, and i can't find it in toofaced.com either. I guess it's new glamour to go palette for 2012. The shades are in neutral side, which is good if you need neutral palette to travel with.

Lorac Eye Candy Full Face Collection - usd 59 on sephora.com

Lorac is an unusual brand for me, but this one catch my attention .. really, it's sooo pretty and would be a perfect gift for christmas or birthday! it's seems like a box of chocolate .. and the insider are like a bunch of chocolate ❤ 

this collection contains of 4 eye shadow palette, 1 cream eye liner palette and 1 lip and cheek tint palette. Since they could be separate, it's easier to bring them alone without carrying the whole set.

This set is seems to be This Year's trial set. It's also contains of 10 mini size of benefit's products, it's also contains of 2 mini size of box-o-powder-blush, travel size of that gal and porefessional.

Stowaways is amazing set if you want to try benefit's product. But sadly, i have most of them, except That Gal, it's potent eye cream, oh la la lift, cha cha tint and sun beam which i dont really need. I dont think i'd get this set, but of course i love it.

and the last one isn't from sephora.com .. it's still only available in their own website :

The Balm Jovi Palette - usd 39.5 on thebalm.com

it's a pretty, awesome palette. They even separate the lip section so you dont have to worry that the powders will fly and reach the cream product  ❤ 

I'm not interested with this Jovi palette before, but when i noticed it's get mary lou manizer and frat boy blush, with 2 pretty lip colors there, i've changed my mind. Let's see if the balm offer us special discount on black friday ..

Well, they're all pretty of course, but we dont have to get them all, do we?

Sleek Rose Gold, review & swatches :)

how was your day?

i was finding out i got allergic again, and sadly, i dont know what kind of food allergy i got today. I didn't eat anything weird or unusual, but i found some allergic reaction on my left and right hand :(

last year, i used to have allergic reaction to eggs, any food which contains of eggs made my legs got some itchiness, but i was healed and everything going fine again.. until today T____T

i wish i could be better soon ..

and today, i will write some review and swatch of sleek Rose Gold.

some say it's a dupe of the famous Nars O.

i've read many many reviews and swatch about their comparison, and i thought Rose Gold is a good choice since it's more pigmented, and cheaper.

here's the packaging, sleek and sturdy black case, but there's no shade name in front of packaging. They wrote it behind packaging.

and there's no box for sleek blushes, it's only covered with a clear plastic that fit the packaging.

there's the shade name, along with the ingredients and company's information.

It's contains 8g or 0.27 oz of product which is a very very good value for the price.

I think it's only usd 5.99 usd in sleekmakeup

But if you want to get it from indonesian online store, it's cost about 110.000 idr.

sleek doesn't provided it with any brush.

I'm not complaining since brushes that provided are mostly unable to use, and it helps to make the packaging smaller and thinner.

the shade is seems peachy and no duo chrome effect could detected from it.

Rose Gold also doesn't contains of any fragrances and the ingredients also doesn't makes any fragrance (like Suede).

and here's some swatches ..

using indoor light

Once it's blended, it's a little bit harder to detect the duo chrome effect, the heavily swiped swatch provide better effect.

but who want to wear blush that heavy in their cheeks? LOL

and here's i'm using natural, outdoor light.

It's quite harder to see the golden sheen since it's transform into glitter under the sunlight. You can always tap the brush before swipe it on your cheeks if you want less shimmer.

It's such a pretty shade in my opinion, but sadly, it's doesn't match my skintone. Seems like i have no luck to peachy pink shade, i'm seems better using plummy pink shade or coral shade.

i never wear it more than 4 hours so i don't really know how long it would stay on cheeks, but as far as i know, sleek blushes has long staying power (probably 8-9 hours and still there).

pro's :

sleek, sturdy packaging

travel friendly

cheap price

good value of money

pretty shade

no fragrance detected

cons :

it's not easy to get it in Indonesia

no brush provided (i'm not complaining, just saying)

Overall, i like it.. but i've just found my self rarely use it, so maybe i'll put it in my blogsale section :)

thanks for reading anyway ..
