Perfect for the upcoming holidays and beyond. Or if you are like me and like to rock bold red lips all year round. This is a classy classic red. $6.00

Swatch Out! Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip (Notion)
Notion is a deep plum color. That is not too dark which I love. Perfect for fall.
This color dries down a little slower than the other ultra matte lips and also tends to transfer a little bit, but it may be the color formula, because I have the same issue with their ultra matte lip More Better. Perfect for all skin tones. $6.00USD

Swatch Out! Tartelette Tease Clay Palette
I bought this palette because I did not like all the colors in the Tartlette In Bloom palette, but what I did like was the buttery formula of the shadows. So after agonizing over whether or not I wanted to spend money on another palette where I would only use a few colors. I settled on this little baby. Because of the $21.00 price point I figured it would be a win anyway. The palette itself has a nice sized mirror and sturdy packaging, and features 6 eye shadows at 0.03oz each. 2 shimmer eye shadows and 4 mattes. My favorite colors are Heartbreaker (Brown) , Bff (Plum) and Crush (Taupe). This palette is great for everyday super neutral eye looks. If you are new to makeup it is a great palette to start off with, because there are some great brow bone and eye lid colors in this palette, Whisper and Wink are great brow bone colors and of course First Kiss looks awesome on the lid by itself. I personally love to use Crush, Heartbreaker and Bff on my lids. If you are artfully skilled you can use Heartbreaker or Bff as a contour or transitional color. I experienced very little fall out with these shadows and the longevity is excellent with a primer of course. These are clay shadows so I recommend using a cream shadow base or any concealer you may have instead of a regular primer, so that the colors can really pop, plus I find my eye shadows stay on longer when using a concealer or cream base instead, but that's just me. If you were on the fence about purchasing this little palette I hope this review helps you with your decision. _XoXo, Madison

Review
This matte blush is described as a rich warm chocolate, perfect for contouring the face on deep and dark skin tones. I use this daily to contour under my cheekbones and I love it. The color is long lasting and easy to blend.

Swatch Out! L.A.Girl Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss: Tulle, Frisky, Backstage
(from top to bottom)
Tulle
Backstage
Frisky
L.A. Girl
Blurring the lines between lipstick and lip gloss, Matte Pigment Gloss has already become a favorite of makeup artists, blogger and fans. These 16 bold shades provide rich, intense color in a flat finish for all day wear. The long wearing formula goes on as a high pigmented liquid and dries to a flat matte finish. Leaving lips colored in gorgeous velvety perfection that last and lasts. Cruelty Free. Never Tested On Animals. Net Wt. 0.17 OZ. $5.00
Review
I'll start with the positives, which is the price and amount of product you get for under $10.00. The longevity of this product is fair, as it will wear for a long while as long as you don't eat or drink anything between that time. The colors are bold and dry down to a matte finish pretty quickly. Careful when applying, some colors may go on patchy or uneven. I found this to be the case with Backstage, (see dry swatch below). I did not have this issue with Frisky or Tulle. The packaging is that of a large lip gloss and it comes with a flat sponge tip applicator for easy application. Once applied to the lips it does not get sticky or tacky before drying like some of the more pricey liquid lipsticks that are on the market. Since I am a fan of "Red" liquid lipsticks. Frisky is a dupe for Lime Crime's "Red Velvet" Velvetine and Jeffree "Star's Red Rum" Velour Liquid Lipstick.
