Bobbi Brown Highlighting Powder Pink Glow, Blush Duo Sand Pink/Pale Pink & Nourishing Lip Color #15 Berry, Review, Swatch & FOTD

Wish you a wonderful weekend. Next week I will have a half week thanks to a public holiday on Thursday so I am gliding through the weekend more or less, delaying everything I have to do until Wednesday, human nature. It also started getting warmer in Germany. Last week it snowed! 

I acquired some products from Bobbi Brown recently which I would like to share with you today. The brand released a number of collections and new formulas. From Beach Nudes Collection Highlighting Powder Pink Glow caught my eye with its unique two shaded appearance. Shortly after Malibu Nudes Collection hit the stores with very chic Nude Finishing Powders and Blush Duos. I got to test the Blush Duo in Sand Pink/Pale Pink from that collection which I would like to share with you today. For the lips there is a new formula called Nourishing Lip Color Oil-Infused Shine. I have #15 Berry to show you today.

Chanel Le Vernis Long Wear Nail Colour Reds, Review, Swatch & Comparison

Happy Friday! Between the dying flowers and some free work days I managed to put together some posts. The biggest challenge had been the flowers really. How come some of them die the next day before I can snap a few photos *shakes head*

Chanel reformulated their nail polishes and as usual these were released in the States like months ago. You can tell that I am slightly frustrated to keep up with the new releases in Germany, especially from Chanel. Most of the other brands are keeping up their dates rather close across the globe. These are made in France so I can't help but wonder why our neighbours keep sending it across the ocean instead of letting us have some of that *frowns*.

There are ten new shades as well as some of the classical shades being rereleased in the new long wearing formula. I have purchased the new shades. I would like to share the first five of them with you today. These are Chanel Le Vernis Long Wear Nail Color #500 Rouge Essentiel, #506 Camélia, #508 Shantung, #510 Gitane and #512 Mythique. I am working on the comparison swatches of the other five which I will soon report about. I am glad that I could also give three of these a long week's test. My thoughts are after the jump...

Clarins Multi-Active Jour/Nuit Skincare, Review & Mother's Day Giveaway

I hope you had a great start to the week. I was a bit sleep deprived during the weekend so I was like in a dream all day. And it is so cold right now in Germany, you wouldn't believe when I say it snowed? I don't know what is wrong with weather really. I am also concerned about the birds who are back. I hope it gets better soon.

I have been testing new skin care launches from Clarins, two of which I would like to share with you today, Clarins Multi-Active Jour and Multi-Active Nuit. In case you are located in Germany or Austria, there is also a give-away at the end of this post which you may like to enter.

Sisley Paris Phyto Lip Twists #10, #11, #14, #15 & Eye Twists #10, #11, Review, Swatch & FOTD

Happy weekend everyone. Thanks so much for showing love yesterday. I was a little shy to post after so many days of silence, to the point although I had some posts ready, I was delaying not to see the reaction *closes eyes*.

In the end of February when I was having a break *dreamy sigh* I got to visit Sisley in Munich to play with new shades of Sisley Paris Phyto Lip Twists and Phyto Eye Twists and met Melanie and Melanie *giggle*. Do you also wish for something between two people who have the same name? I did and got some of the products to try, which I would like to share with you today, right after the jump.

Dior Polka Dots Colour & Dots Manicure Kits, Swatch & Review

Surprise, it is me! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend and still hanging around after a week's silence. I am so sorry for that. I might be on and off until the end of June, that is two more months but I promise to become extra active after that to make up for the things and hoping to see you all and read your comment especially during this very busy period when I try extra hard to get the reviews up. I worked hard yesterday for the blog, swatched tens of nail polishes and took lots of photos so hoping to be able to post more often this week and the week after that. Fingers crossed.

Dior's Summer 2016 Collection makes me sing "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini". I love the theme of the collection, Polka Dots but honestly I had a very hard time finding something to purchase. I ended up with three of the nail polish sets including a doting tool and two small sized (7 ml instead of 10ml) nail polishes. Other than that? Unfortunately eye shadow formula is not calling me and lip products are not very exciting either. I was thinking about getting one of the bronzers, one with pinks in it but those are permanent so can wait a little. Have you picked up anything? Any suggestions? My thoughts and swatches of Manicure kits are right after the jump.

Suqqu Blend Color Eyeshadows Ex-30, Ex-31, Creamy Glow Lipstick Ex-20, Ex-21 for UK Exclusive Summer Color Collection, Review, Swatch & FOTD

Wish you all a wonderful week! I am super busy but there are very exciting new collections from Suqqu, which I simply can't wait to show you. I would like to start with UK Exclusive Summer Collection inspired by Japanese playful color combinations called Kasaneiro and Aweseiro. A quick research revealed different colors to be layered, for example worn by woman as kimonos over each other. 

There are two Blend Color Eyeshadow Palettes (Ex-30 Hekikai, Ex-31 Gyoukou) and two Creamy Glow Lipstick Moist (Ex-20 Hyaku Daidai, Ex-21 Sen Ka) in this collection together with an Extra Volume Mascara with waterproof formula. Today I would like to share my thoughts on the eye shadow palettes and lipsticks.

RMK UV Liquid Foundation, Color Correcting Base & Long Lasting UV, Review, Swatch & FOTD

Wishing you all a beautiful Sunday. Since I started teaching on Mondays, for me Sunday ended to be a working day. My weekend starts earlier though since I don't have classes on Fridays. I don't know which is better because it is hard to work on a Friday if you know what I mean so I end up delaying all the work to Sunday.

I have been testing RMK's latest liquid foundation, UV Liquid Foundation which comes with a whooping SPF 50+, PA +++. The base collection also includes a Long Lasting UV with SPF 45, PA ++++ (bring it on!) and four shades of Basic Color Control bases. The latest color correcting madness was almost going past me so I am happy to catch the trend by this post. Without further ado, my thoughts are after the jump.

Clarins Joli Rouge Brilliant 07 Raspberry, 03 Guava, Joli Baume Lip Balm and Eclat Minute Lip Perfecting Base, Review, Swatch & FOTD

I hope you had a lovely and productive week. I am badly lacking behind the posts and for the first time in three years, I haven't posted over a week. I hope you will be patient with me from April to the end of June. This semester I have many courses to teach, some of them I am teaching for the first time. Moreover I happened to get involved in many projects at once, some of these are due to sheer luck so I couldn't plan accordingly but I didn't want to miss the opportunity.

When I was away last week, I also happened to miss the 3rd blog anniversary. It was the 1st of April. I can't believe that I am doing this for so long. Back in 2013, after six months of home stay due to health issues, I got into make-up to distract my mind. I always liked make-up even back in high school but I was never that much obsessed with it, read the amount of make-up I had could be used up in a year or two. During the last three years, I learned so many new things from how to judge a formula of an eye shadow or lipstick to how to take product photos. I am still in learning process though and this is one of the reasons why I keep doing it. Being the editor-in-chief, the photographer, PR contact and social media expert of such a tiny project called Color Me Loud still excites me today. I would like to thank all the readers for keeping up with me and making it such a pleasant experience as the humble blog which I started three years ago is expected to reach 5 million page views in a few months.

I have been testing some new lip products from Clarins last week. The brand released a new sheer glossy lipstick Joli Rouge Brilliant after the revamped their Joli Rouge packaging and formula last Fall (review of Rose Berry is here). Together with this release they also introduced a Lip Perfecting Base to Eclat Minute line. My thoughts and some swatches are after the jump.

Tom Ford Eye Color Quad #04 Honeymoon, Review, Swatch, Comparison & FOTD

Hoping that you all had a wonderful weekend. Yesterday night we met with some old friends and went for a cocktail. The weather started to get nice and warm here so after that we took a walk at night at the city center. It was a nice evening, it reminded me that there is a life outside the house *cough cough*

I know that Tom Ford Summer started to arrive blogosphere and it can even be purchased right now in the States. Here in Europe though, we are getting Tom Ford with lots of delay. Tom Ford Spring arrived at the stores just two weeks ago. It gives the feeling of living in an island in the middle of Pacific which no on can locate on a map. Thanks for loving us Europeans Tom!

Long story short, you might know that I have a Blog Series about Tom Ford Quads so I am trying to review all of them. I have reviewed two of the new Quads: Last Dance (here) and Disco Dust (here). I will try to get the remaining two quads soon as well. From five of the new releases, Honeymoon was the only one with wet&dry formula, similar to Enchanted, Emerald Lust and Nude Dip (reviewed here). This formula is praised and it certainly deserves it. Here are my thoughts, some looks and swatches.
