….

I love a colored lip for every day of the year and on some days I stay at home and have nowhere to go so a gloss is totally enough. I have loved and used the NYX Butter Glosses for years and recently discovered the Soft Matte Lip Creme. It is a little different than a gloss, more like a stain but not at all permanent.

So let´s have a closer look.

There are several things I cherish in a lip gloss I am looking for and I have to admit I have found a lot of what I liked.

Butter Gloss

Pigmentation – It is a pretty sheer gloss but that´s what I like about cause I often times wear it over a lipstick.

Durability – I would say it does not last very good. The lighter colors are gone pretty quick if you are eating and drinking but I do not mind re-applying it a few times during the day.

Feel – It is a little sticky at first but settles very quick. I am super happy about that cause I can´t for life stand a sticky gloss.

Price – 6, 99 Euro

For the price it is totally fine and there are so many shades available. It works amazing as finish over a lipstick and also alone if you like to have a shimmer with a hint of color on your lips. 

Soft Matte Lip Creme

Pigmentation – The pigmentation is way higher than the gloss. The Lip Creme is very soft to apply and leaves a velvety feel on your lips. It dries up matte very quick without drying out the lips. 

Durability – For the price and also the fact that it is a lip creme it holds up quite great.

Feel – It is super soft on the lips and also very lightweight. You will not feel it at all after applying.

Price – 7,45 Euro

In conclusion I really love all of my NYX glosses (and also lipsticks) and probably going to grow my collection. The Butter Glosses are the perfect toned down everyday glosses and the Soft Matte Lip Cremes will work great on ocassions where you need more color.

How about waking up Valentine´s Day morning to a pile of delicious white chocolate waffles to dig through – or any other morning. Yes, it would be amazing. This is an awesome easy sweet treat to make for yourself or gift to others. 

The chocolate and sprinkles is just the icing on the cake. Literally !!! This is the recipe I have used. It is from Martha Stewart and I love it every damn time.

While the waffles are getting crisp and delicious in the waffle maker I like to melt the white chocolate on the stove. This has to be a slow process so you might wanna set that up at the beginning. I have choosen red sprinkles for Valentine´s Day but you could use whatever you like.

You may have noticed from my Instagram page that I am doing a 14 days of pink challenge which basically means I am wearing pink everyday until the 14th of February.

It has worked out great so far and it also didn´t get boring wearing the same color everyday. I might do this with another color every month.

How adorable is this pink ruffle shirt. It works so great with lots of other pieces and the color surprisingly works so well with many more.

This whole look is super cool but also elevated enough to work out at an office or even to go out for a date night.

So this might be a little inspo for Valentine´s Day already. Are you going out or staying in? We actually have planned to go out.
