With the Internet becoming more widely accessible so do the new on line thriving make up brands. Especially being based in the UK it proves to be very handy to be able to try those cosmetics, which are not available locally. I have many cosmetics brands on my list which I can buy only online. What also is a bit thrilling as I can brag about to my friends :) One of them is Glamorous Cosmetics Greece based gem. I am reviewing today a couple of their products kindly provided by the company. They have opened their doors first in 2005 in Greece Athens and have been expanding, conquering new continents and hearts. I have a couple of products from their main lines I wanted to share my opinion about them  with you. So what I have here are  – foundation, lip stick, mascara, nail polish and lip/eye pencil.

I shall start with my favourite product – which honestly quite surprised me – G by Glamorous Fluid Foundation. It is very light foundation, which surprisingly very hard to detect! on the skin. The result very even skin tone and even in a close up I can guarantee no one will be able to spot it! Due to its texture and very light coverage I think it will be a perfect foundation for a day time look. It contains talk so good moisturising regime is advisable. Packaging is very bag friendly :) being only 20ml, smaller than usual 30ml…very pretty and accurate not heavy at all, product’s live from opening is 18 months. For those who are madly scrutinising the ingredients list, well it contains conservants methylparaben and propylparaben, but what doesn’t nowadays…

Glamorous Cosmetics Lip Stick

Again very good ratings for lipstick. Creamy easy to apply and very long-lasting and you can control how vivid you want it to be. Many of the lip products available on the market are not long lasting enough or very sticky and last till the next bite…or other end of the stick they are so chemically enhanced that you can’t get rid of it … well with this one I can apply it in the morning and it will wear off at the end of the day. Impressed! I had very vivid dark red very in fashion now. Also I have checked the website and they carry quite a nice choice with very nice beige colours – m y favourits. Only draw back was that I was not entirely happy with the packaging I think the quality is very good and it should be reflected in a more sophisticated presentation….

I found that the mascara had quite a good performance, but I can’t elevate it above the other products found on the market. It  did not stick my eye lashes together, which is a big plus!! Very simple straight forward brush with dense bristles, which distributes the product evenly and reached out to every lash._____________________________________________________________

Nail Polish by Glamourous Cosmetics

I guess the hardest to review is the nail polish. In general it’s combination of colour, how easy it’s applied and how long it’s lasting.  It did not chip off my nails for reasonably long time, the texture is very glossy and you can feel that it will hold for quite some time, no second coat is necessary unless you like that heavy look. However I was struggling with application… Very thin brush made it very difficult to apply the product evenly and I ended up with a streaky lines and uneven distribution :(  I have checked and on the website the company offers a wide range of fashionable colours though, which is a plus.

With eye and lip liners I find that it’s always down to the colour and softness of the product. The product must be soft but not sticky or clumpy. I think the product I have is very good for lip lining, but a bit too hard to be an eye liner, however really worked for my eye brows. Very handy packaging with the cute cap and sharpener in one.

Over all was very impressed with the foundation and lipstick and would recommend without any hesitation.
