My Alverde lip gloss collection

It's no secret that I'm obsessed with two things: Hand cream and lip gloss/care. (*/////∇/////*) Today I want to talk about the latter.

I've included all lip glosses that I own from the brand Alverde, even the ones from limited editions or discontinued shades. This is not a review, it should be treated as a sort of overview instead, hence I won't give details such as comfort, stickiness, lasting power, flavor/scent, price, ingredients etc.

First of all I feel like starting with the tube glosses. I already reviewed two of them some time ago (1,2) and don't worry they're permanent.

Under normal circumstances I don't like to take photos with flash light on but these came out suprisingly well!

The third tube you see right above is the 'strawberry' flavored gloss which smells very strawberry-like and it is a red pink shimmery shade. I like the color very much too bad it's discontinued. The good thing is that I have a spare one that I want to either give away/keep it for myself/swapping or whatver. I still haven't made up my mind, though.

Next I want to talk a little bit about the glosses that have an applicator/wand. They are from different limited editions but don't worry my all-time favorite shade is from the permanent range and I hope it stays for a very long time!! (*´ε｀ *) I'm going to post swatches of these five:

Shiny Terra

Creamy Mauve

Shiny Terra is my super duper all-time favorite!! It's my your lips but better color and I'd always go back to this! I'll probably do a more detailed post later on (maybe with a lip swatch?) because I'm so in love with this color! Creamy Mauve is a shade that I picked up later on but I find that it's a bit too dark and mauve-ish for me, though. Looks weird one me! Both shades are permanent so you can get these easily at DM.

Nude Diamond

Rose Lovely



Stylish Rose

I did a short review on Stylish Rose while talking about the Hippie Deluxe LE and I'm extremely bitter about this particular item. Seriously. It is such a pretty color but its scent is just so very bad that I want to toss it out of the window! The reason why I still keep this is for swatching purposes only! I sincerely hope that Alverde will release a similar color in the future!! ((=ﾟДﾟ=)) Now that I did my swatch it's time to bid farewell, though!

Now please don't say I'm a lazy person because it wasn't easy to swatch these. I spent my Sunday forenoon on taking these photos - the entire day was sunny with cloudy intervals so I immediately grabbed my camera whenever the sky opened up !!! lol (≧∀≦)
