Review and swatches: Catrice Coolibri LEOpis in ocena: Catrice Coolibri LE

Yay – Catrice Coolibri LE is finally here! I can not believe I was so lucky to find the full stand and could actually chose which products I wished to buy. In the end I decided to get 3 nail polishes and 2 eyeshadow pens. :love:

Catrice Coolibri LE

If I didn’t have mile long wish list for this month, I would have bought all the nail polishes and eyeshadow pens in this LE. But as I had to be rational (hate that word :silly: ), I got blue and green nail polish and decided to go with the pink one over yellow and orange shade. Eyeshadow pens were easier as I already have green and blue one from Kiko. :angel:

Catrice Coolibri Birds Flying High nail polish is my new baby. I adore this muted blue shade with some kind of grayish undertone and possibly hint of green(?). Is comes in creme finish and easy to work with formula. And the biggest plus – no staining. :happy: 2 coats + top coat.

Catrice Coolibri Virgin Forest is playful medium green filled with green shimmer. The only downside to this shade is slightly frosty formula. I used Essence 24/7 base coat and had no staining. 2 coats + top coat. Comparison with Catrice King Of Greens is in the below video review.

Catrice Coolibri LE Abloom is another creme shade with color that borders between pink and red … but is still more pink on me. If you don’t mind VNL, you can possibly even use only one coat. 2 coats + top coat.

I tested both eyeshadows sticks and as I suspected shimmery Precious Nectar has better staying power and more “stickiness”. There was some fallout when I applied eyeshadow over Precious Nectar, but nothing major. With no base and fixated with eyeshadow I got 5+ hours without creasing. Because of the shimmery base, eyeshadows looked like they had metallic finish.
Exotica on the other hand gives eyeshadows more matte/satin look, they don’t last as long as on Precious Nectar and lack the “grip”. But with Too Faced Shadow Insurance it should have whole day staying power and I love the fact that it warms up cooler toned eyeshadows.
I can’t use these kind of products alone, but those with normal to dry eyelids could probably get away with it. As far as I could see, the’re easily removed with makeup removers or soap, but they seem to defy water.
I made comparison with Kiko Long Lasting Stick Eyeshadow no. 10 and 11. Catrice Coolibri swatches were more than 4 hours “old” when this photo was taken.

Video review:

What is your favorite from Catrice Coolibri limited edition?Jupi – končno sem dočakala Catrice Coolibri LE na naših policah! Sem kar obstala sredi Mullerja, ko sem zagledala nedotaknjeno stojalo. :biggrin: Še kar ne morem verjetni, da sem celo dobila priložnost izbirati med vsemi izdelki. Na koncu sem se odločila za 3 lake in 2 senčili v stiku/svinčniku. :love:

Če ne bi imela za ta mesec že kilometerskega seznama, bi si zagotovo omislila vse lake in senčila. Ampak včasih je treba biti racionalne (ugh, kako grozna beseda :silly: ), tako da sem kupila moder in zelen lak, ter se med roza, rumenim in oranžnim, odločila za roza odtenek. Pri senčilih je bila izbira lažja, ker imam že podoben Kiko zelen in moder svinčnik. :angel:

Catrice Coolibri Birds Flying High je takoj prišel med top 10 modrih lakov. Pridušen moder odtenek, ki občasno pokaže tudi nekakšno zeleno(?) noto se mi je prav usedel v srce. Finiš je krem, formula enostavna za nanos in kot piko na i – ni mi zabarval nohtov. :happy: 2 plasti + nadlak.

Catrice Coolibri Virgin Forest je igrivo zelen odtenek z veliko drobnega zelenega šimra. Slabost je zame predvsem rahlo frosti finiš. Tudi ta odtenek ni povzročil zabarvanja, za bazo pa sem uporabila Essence 24/7 podlak.
2 plasti + nadlak. Primerjavo z Catrice King Of Greens si lahko pogledate v video posnetku na koncu prispevka.

Catrice Coolibri LE Abloom je še eden krem lak v kolekciji z barvo, ki meji na rozo in rdečo … a je na meni še vedno bolj roza kot rdeč. Če vas ne moti, da se še vedno nazirajo konice, vam bo mogoče zadostovala že ena plast. 2 plasti + nadlak.

Obe kremni senčili v stiku/svinčniku sem nanesla direktno na veke in ju fiksirala z Inglot senčko. Precious Nectar se je res izkazala za bolj obstojno senčko z boljšo oprijemljivostjo za senčila v kamnu. Senčilo se je začelo nabirati v gubi po nekaj več kot 5ih urah, zanimiv pa je bil tudi kovinski finiš, ki je nastal kot kombinacija šimraste baze in satenastega senčila.
Exotica ima bolj mat/stenast finiš ter slabšo obstojnost in oprijemljivost drugih senčil kot Precious Nectar. Vendar bi s Too Faced Shadow Insurance bazo morala sekundarna baza svoje delo opraviti čez ves dan. Pri Exotici mi je najbolj všeč, da ustvari toplo bazo, tako da so tudi hladnejši toni, ki jih nanesem čez njo, zame bolj “nosljivi”.
Jaz takšnih izdelkov ne morem uporabljati samostojno – tisti z normalnimi do suhimi vekami bi verjetno imeli boljše rezultate. Ali so senčila vodoodporna? Ne bi vedela, vendar se na roki samo z vodo niso odstranila, tako da je tudi to mogoče.
Primerjala sem tudi Kiko Long Lasting Stick Eyeshadow št. 10 in 11 s Catrice Coolibri modrim in zelenim senčilom (Catrice swatch je bil takrat že nekaj ur na roki).

  1. Kolekcije v trgovinah nisem videla. Od predstavljenih izdelkov me k sreči nič ne pritegne zelo. Od lakov je moder lušten, rdečkasto-malinast nič kaj posebnega, zelen pa ima vidne proge od čopiča. Senčil v stiku skoraj ne uporabljam in me zaradi tega ne pritegnejo zelo.
    Hvala za (ponovno) lepo predstavitev kolekcije. ;)

  2. I’ll probably be getting the 24/7 Essence basecoat when I finish what I have. I sometimes fnd that polishes stain my nails as I’m taking them off. Using nail polish remover can sometimes be a bit tricky, as they make the colour to bleed and that’s what stains my nails most times.

    • Yeah – bleeding formulas are a pain to remove. I sometimes go for the foil removing technique if I suspect the removing will be troublesome.

  3. I’m waiting for the collection to arrive here, I was really interested in the polishes, but now that I see swatches I think I can reconsider needing green and red one!
