Givenchy Prisme Again Blush in 01 Timid Rose Review and Swatches
I used to own a Givenchy blush years ago, I loved it so I got a new one. The packaging is divine! It has a mirror and a cute brush which is very soft and big enough to actually use it. I just hate when a product comes with an applicator and you can't use it and when it takes so much space in the compact.
It has 4 shades that are all matte and they all look very chalky except the pink one. They look rather chalky when applied too. I'm not a fan of the shade but definitely a fan of the brand and the compact. This shade could only work if you have really pale complexion.

Blue Eyeliners Comparison, Review and Swatches
Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Liner in Binge: Very creamy and glides on very well, this shade is a very pretty midnight blue and it has a slight sheen to it. But one thing I noticed is that you can't get the full color with just one stroke unlike other UD 24/7 pencils. 17USD (0,04oz./1,2g)
Givenchy Magic Khol in Indigo Blue: Givenchy has very high quality products but unfortunately they are not widely available, but you can find most of their products at Sephora. So this eye liner is the most flattering on my eyes but it is the hardest to apply, it's very dry, doesn't glide smoothly. 21,5USD (0,03oz./0,9g) So you get less with more money but it's Givenchy.
Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Liner in Deviant: Again, very creamy glides on very well, softer then Binge, but has great pigmentation. This shade is lighter blue with tiny silver shimmers. 17USD (0,04./1,2g)
The Body Shop Metallic Eye Definer in Brilliant Blue: This product is a total waste of money it applies smoothly but goes everywhere throughout the day. The shade is very pretty though, shimmering blue. 11USD (0,04oz./1,25g)
MAC Pearlglide Eye Liner in Fly-By-Blu: First of, MAC is yet to make better eye liner than pearlglides. They have a buttery feeling, have great pigmentation and stays put. They should make them permanent and they should come in more variety of shades. This was a limited edition shade, mid tone blue with birght blue shimmers. 14,50USD (0,04oz./1,2g)
MAC Pearlglide Eye Liner in Petrol Blue: This is also a limited edition shade from MAC. It is again the perfect eye liner. This particular shade is dark blue with silver/blue shimmers. 14,50USD (0,04oz./1,2g)
MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Prussian: Dark metallic blue, has slightly purple undertones. The shade itself is gorgeous but powerpoints from MAC are very dry and very hard to put on. 14,50USD (0,04oz./1,2g)
Sephora Liner Electro in Electro Night: Midbight blue with blue shimmers, glides on smoothly but doesn't stay put, it goes all over the place. 8USD (0,0335oz./1g)
Prestige Cosmetics Liquid Eye Liner in Azure: This is a very inexpensive but fairly good quality liner. Doesn't burn my eyes like Too Faced or Sephora ones. It is, of course, not smudgable, stays put, but fades after around 8 hours. The color gets a bit lighter after it's dried. Has a hint of shimmer. Available at Ulta. (0,1floz/3ml)

Givenchy Gloss Interdit Ultra-Shiny Color #1 Capricious Pink Review and Swatches
This product is sold exclusively at Sephora for 25,50 USD (6ml/0,21oz.) I bought it almost a month ago and I’m truly happy with my purchase and want to try out the other shades. But this particular shade is adorable, it’s a yellow based medium pink with silver micro shimmers. Packaging looks great but as you can see in the picture, silver part of the tube peeled off but it’s not a big deal for me. This gloss is very creamy, moisturizing, lightweight and has a good coverage. It has a nice scent to it, not overwhelming at all. I think Givenchy is underrated I haven't seen many people using it, I love their products and especially this particular one.
