Just as I was trying to get the energy to make a blog post, my mail came and with it came my first order from Alog Cosmetics. I placed my order on August 21 and it was marked as shipped by the next morning. I recieved it today, on Septemeber 2nd. Seeing as how Alog Cosmetics is based in Iceland, I must say I am pretty impressed with the shipping speed.

I ordered three lipstick samples: Teatime, Sea Sorbet, and Nebula. Here are are my reviews for each.

Bare lips for reference:

Teatime: Teatime is a peachy nude color on me with a golden shimmer and a hint of violet. Its warm and shimmery and absoultely stunning. I imagine this entering my lipstick rotation very easily. The formula was creamy with no staining.

My next color to try was Sea Sorbet, a metallic light and bright blue. I also want to note that this color is extremely hard to capture in photo. After running all over my house checking out natural sunlight, artificial sunlight, white balance, doing handstands, etc. this is the closest I came up with. The picture on Alog Cosmetic’s etsy page is very true to color. I did have minor staining afterwards.

Last up was Nebula. Nebula was described as a violet lipstick with a golden sheen. However, I found that it really is a violet-gold lipstick. As someone who loves purple and gold lipsticks, this was pretty much heaven for me. This is a very frosted lipstick. It does leave a stain.

Overall, I was very impressed with Alog Cosmetics. The fast delivery time, the hydrating formula of each lipstick, and the colors were all a hit with me. However, the staining may be a problem with some people.
