Manhattan Soft Mat Lip Creams - Review & Swatches!

Hello hello! Today I have a lip products review from you, it's about a cosmetics category I've been seriously loving the last half year, liquid lipsticks! My absolutely favourites are the Sephora Cream Lip Stains ( you can see my review here ) but I can never say no to other brands as well, especially when I spotted those on fragrancedirect for only 1 pound each!

There are 7 shades of the Manhattan soft mat lip creams of which I got 6 because two of them were looking almost the same.

So, there we go!
----------------------------------
Γεια σας, γεια σας! Σήμερα σας έχω μια κριτική για προϊόντα για χείλη, από μία κατηγορία προϊόντων που έχω αγαπήσει ιδιαίτερα τον τελευταίο μισό χρόνο, κραγιόν σε υγρή μορφή! Τα αγαπημένα μου είναι τα Sephora Cream Lip Stains ( μπορείτε να δείτε την κριτική μου εδώ ) αλλά ποτέ δε λέω όχι και σε άλλες εταιρείες, ειδικά όταν τα εντόπισα στο fragrancedirect με μία λίρα μόνο το καθένα δεν γινόταν να μην τα πάρω!

Υπάρχουν 7 αποχρώσεις εκ των οποίων πήρα τις 6 γιατί οι 2 ήταν σχεδόν πανομοιότυπες.

Οπότε, ας τα δούμε!



I really like their packagings although they're nothing special and they come with a lovely applicator as well.
----------------------------------
Μου αρέσουν πολύ οι συσκευασίες τους παρ'όλο που δεν είναι κάτι ιδιαίτερο και έχουν ένα πολύ βολικό απλικατέρ επίσης.


From left to right we have shades 31S,56K,53M,54L,45H,95M. The only one I'm missing is 95G which looks almost the same as 95 M with only difference that 95M leans more towards a pinky brown while 95G has pure brown undertones instead of pink.
Let's see them one by one...
----------------------------------
Από αριστέρα προς δεξιά έχουμε τις αποχρώσεις 31S,56K,53M,54L,45H,95M. Το μόνο που δεν έχω είναι το 95G που είναι σχεδόν πανομοιότυπο με το 95M με την μόνη διαφορά ότι το 95M έχει ελαφρώς ροζ υποτόνους ενώ το 95G περισσότερο καφέ παρά ροζ.
Ας τα δούμε ένα ένα...
----------------------------------
31S



31 S is a very light peachy pink , it has the worst pigmentation out of  all and you need quite a few swipes to fully cover your lips in color, once it dries though it stays fine as the other shades.
----------------------------------
To 31 S είναι ένα πολύ απαλό ροδακινί ροζ, έχει την χειρότερη απόδοση χρώματος από όλα και χρειάζεται να το περάσεις αρκετές φορές για να έχεις πλήρη απόδοση χρώματος στα χείλη, αλλά αφότου στεγνώσει μένει μια χαρά όπως και τα υπόλοιπα.

56 Κ



56 Κ is a dusty pink and it is my favourite! Such a beautiful color !
----------------------------------
Το 56 Κ είναι ένα ροζ μουντό κάπως, υπέροχο για καθημερινή χρήση και είναι το αγαπημένο μου απ'όλα!



53M



53M is a medium peachy pink, I love this as well.
----------------------------------
Το 53Μ είναι ένα μεσαίο ροδακινί-ροζ, το αγαπώ επίσης.

54L




54 L is a lovely rose color.
----------------------------------
To 54L είναι ένα πανέμορφο τριανταφυλλί.

45H



45H is a beautiful deep red, it's said to be a dupe for MAC's Russian Red as well.
----------------------------------
Το 45Η είναι ένα όμορφο, βαθύ κόκκινο και θεωρείται dupe για το Russian Red της MAC.

95M



95M is a nude beige-brown with slightly pink undertones.
----------------------------------
To 95M είναι ένα μπεζοκαφέ με ελαφρώς ροζ υποτόνους.

Manhattan Soft Mat Lip Creams, like every liquid lipstick have the packaging-appearance of a lipgloss but while they're glossy when applied on the lips, after a while they dry completely matte. All shades except 31S have a really good pigmentation. They go on smoothly and apply easily. They last quite well, at least 4 hours I'd say but not as much as the Sephora cream lip stains. They may be matte but they don't feel drying on the lips (they're not hydrating either of course) and they feel quite comfortable. Each lip cream contains 6,5 ml of product and you can get those at fragrancedirect for 1 pound each. I really like them and I recommend them (all except shade 31 S because it lacks pigmentation, but then again it only costs 1 pound and it's such a pretty color)

Have you tried those? Would you? Are you a fan of liquid lipsticks or prefer the regular ones? Let me know what you think, kisses!

----------------------------------
Tα Manhattan Soft Mat Lip Creams όπως κάθε υγρό κραγιόν έχουν την συσκευασία-εμφάνιση ενός lipgloss αλλά παρ'ότι γυαλίζουν μόλις εφαρμοστούν στα χείλη μετά από λίγο στεγνώνουν τελείως ματ. Όλες οι αποχρώσεις εκτός από την 31S έχουν πολύ καλή χρωματική απόδοση. Έχουν πολύ απαλή υφή, απλώνονται και εφαρμόζονται εύκολα. Έχουν αρκετά καλή διάρκεια, τουλάχιστον κανένα 4ωρο θα έλεγα αλλά όχι τόσο καλή όσο τα Sephora cream lip stains. Αν και ματ δεν ξηραίνουν τα χείλη (ούτε και είναι ενυδατικά βέβαια) και τα νιώθω άνετα στα χείλη μου. Το κάθε ένα περιέχει 6,5 ml προϊόντος και μπορείτε να τα βρείτε με 1 λίρα το καθένα στο fragrancedirect ή στα Hondos με 7-8 ευρώ, the choice is yours :p Μου αρέσουν πολύ και τα συστήνω (εκτός ίσως από την απόχρωση 31S λόγω έλλειψης χρωματικής απόδοσης, αλλά απ'την άλλη η απόδοση του χτίζεται και είναι πολύ όμορφη απόχρωση, ειδικά για 1 λίρα)

Τα έχετε δοκιμάσει? Θα τα δοκιμάζατε? Είστε φαν των υγρών κραγιόν ή προτιμάτε τα κανονικά? Θα χαρώ να ακούσω τις απόψεις σας, φιλιά!

June Favourites ,2 miraculous products & 2 giveaways!

Hello beauties! In this post I will show you my June favourites!
Let's see them!


1.L'oreal Ideal Soft  Micelaire*


This is a cleansing water. It removes perfectly and gently make up and leaves my face soft, I love to combine it with a gel or foam cleanser as well, using the gel or foam cleanser to remove my make up and then just take a cotton pad with this cleansing water and wipe off any make up excess that wasn't removed. I love it and it's really cheap as well.

2.Red water face gel cleanser


This is a travel size gel cleanser by a Greek brand called Red Water. I liked it because it removes perfectly make up and leaves my face fresh and soft.

3.L'oreal Glam Bronze 01 Blond Sun*


This is a lovely matte bronzer ideal for pale skin I think, I've been using it non stop for more than a month now.

4.Lovie Terracotta Bronzer no101


I've used this as a blusher-highlighter, it gives the perfect sunkissed glow and it's by a greek company called Lovie.

5.Essence 100%Splash-proof eyeliner pen


It's intense, long-lasting, waterproof, cheap and has an amazing applicator. What else can one ask for?

6.Manhattan Eye Liner LongLasting-1 Petrol


I've been using it non-stop since I got it, it's the perfect teal eyeliner!

7.Manhattan Soft Mat Lip Cream 45H


I wore red lips quite often in June and this one was my favourite red for June.

8.MUA Power Pout-Broken Hearted *


It's hydrating, gives a beautiful fuchsia color and stains the lips as well. I love it!

9.MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer NW20


This has to be the only concealer I wore in June. It worked perfectly for my under eye area as well as in my whole face and it didn't crease neither did it need setting with powder. A great product!

10.La Roche Posay Anthelios XL 50+ *


This is the sunscreen I used the most, I love it because it leaves my face perfectly matte and can be used as a base before make up as well.

11.Bioten Cellufight


This is the anti-cellulite product I'm currently using, it's by a greek brand named Bioten and I love its smell and gel consistency. I've already finished another Bioten anti-cellulite product and loved it ,too.

My next and last two favourite products saved my life!
Ok, no joke, they really helped me very, very much!
Let's see them.

13.Tommy G Keratin Base Coat


My nails used to be really weak and broke all the time. This was until dear Vaso (http://princesagr.blogspot.gr) suggested me to try out this keratin base coat. My nails have gotten long and strong and haven't broken for a really long time now. If you have weak nails just go get any keratin  nail base, it should work!

14.Foltene Eyelash and Eyebrow Treatment*


This is an eyebrow and eyelash serum, I've used it day and night for one and a half months now and I've really seen a difference! My eyebrows have grown a little thicker and my eyelashes are a bit more voluminous and the curl has been improved as well! Of course I will continue using it and  I definitely recommend it!

Fragrancedirect cosmetics haul &swatches!

Ηello beauties! It's not been long since I made an order on www.fragrancedirect.co.uk and today I'll show you what I got!


Dainty Doll Blushers


Shades from left to right : Money talks, You are my sunshine.
I got those for two pounds each and my first impressions are really good. They are pigmented, soft, apply and blend easily and last well.

Calvin Klein Delicious Luxury Creme Lipsticks


Shades from left to right : Henna, Sinful
I got those for two pounds each. I love how soft and creamy they are and they stay on really well and they're very pigmented, too. I dislike their packagings though, they feel really cheap.

Manhattan Gel eyeliners-Long-lasting

Shades from left to right : 1.Petrol, 2.Purple
I got those for 1,50 pounds each. They are very pigmented and last really well without smudging over eye primer. My only complaint is the purple one came a little dried out but I fixed it with a few drops of glycerin.

Manhattan Lips2Last


Shades from left to right : 95P,35S,46T,57S.
I got those for one pound each. They're actually liquid lipsticks , glossy when applied, dry matte after a while and they come with transparent lipgloss. Those are extremely pigmented and stay on forever, and when I say forever I mean it! You can eat, drink, smoke, they won't move! Only downside I can think of is they're kinda sticky.

Manhattan Soft Mat Lipcreams


Shades from left to right : 95M,31S,53M,56K,54L,45H
I got those for one pound each. Those are liquid lipsticks that dry matte, like the Sephora cream lip stains I've shown you here or the Guerlain Terracotta Gloss Cashmere I've shown you here. They look pretty much like the NYX matte lip creams as well. They are very pigmented, have an amazing vanilla scent and last really well without being extremely dry.

Just Desserts body creams


From left to right : Vanilla Ice Cream, Strawberry Cheesecake, Chocolate Souffle. I got those for one pound each and they smell like heaven!!! My favourite of all three is the strawberry scented one, but I really love all of them and they're quite hydrating as well.

The shipping cost was 5,50 pounds and I got them in almost two weeks. I was really pleased with everything I got and the prices were more than amazing. The only thing I disliked was the way my box came. Everything was thrown in a box and when I opened it I was terrified, thinking my blushes would be broken, but thanks God everything was just fine.

Have you ever ordered from this site? Did you like the things I got? Do you own any of these? I'll be glad to read your comments!
