Dose of Colors Kiss of Fire


Dose of Colors Kiss of Fire matte lipstick is fast drying and transfer proof. However the coverage is patchy and uneven and it takes about a minute or two for the pigmentation to set. But once it does, watch out! Despite its short comings I really like this color and the formula, which reminds me of a stain, because it has a light weight consistency and feel on the lips. Dose of colors liquid lipsticks advertise as vegan, cruelty free, gluten free, and paraben free, which is always a plus. I get at least 8 hour wear without eating or drinking. $18.00USD
Pros 
Bright True Matte Red
Lightweight

Cons
Not a lot of product in the tube
Price too high for amount of product given
Patchy application

Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip Succulent $6.00USD

Juvia's Place The Saharan Blush Vol. 1

 This palette features six full size blushers, 4 matte and 2 frost. These blushers are the same size as the eye shadows in their most popular palettes. The pigmentation of the matte blushes are very lackluster, and lack longevity. The packaging is cute and sturdy but does not feature a mirror. Suitable for all skin tones  $18.00USD

Anastasia Beverly Hills x Nicole Guerriero Glow Kit (Limited Edition)


Review
This Anastasia Glow Kit palette features six full size sparkly highlighters. The longevity and pigmentation of these shadows depend on your application, the colors are not impressive and if you collect highlighters you may have these colors in your collection already. But don't get discouraged these highlighters are unique in their own way and pack plenty of sparkle. But not more sparkle than the ABH Ultimate Glow Kit released last fall.  Wether you are makeup collector or just a Nicole Guerriero (YouTube Makeup Blogger) fan you will not be disappointed, there are absolutely no regrets on this purchase. Suitable for all skin tones. Limited Edition. Paid $32.95USD

Pros
Lots of shimmer
Lower price point compared to other Glow Kits

Cons 
Chunky glitter particles tend to make application uneven or patchy

Red Lip Diaries: Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick Underage Red


Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Underage Red, is a beautiful opaque quick drying true matte red. I love it. Kat Von D's liquid lipstick formula is by far the best in terms of pigmentation and longevity. Reapplication is only needed after eating and drinking. Otherwise you will get 8 hour wear out of these lipsticks. The coverage is smooth and not patchy and it dries down very quickly. All products are vegan and cruelty free. $20.00USD

Swatch Out! Anastasia Beverly Hills Ultimate Glow Kit

This Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit features six metallic powder highlighters for intense luminosity. Each highlighter pan 4.5grams of product. And the palette has a nice size mirror. Personally I feel like these highlighters are a bit chalky and have a lot of fall out. But the colors are beautiful. Use wet if your using a brush for better application as it is hard to get product on your brush from the pan, because the pigments are pressed so tightly together. Also these highlighters contain a lot of glitter. Paid $45.00USD
Pros 
Lots of sparkle and glitter
Cons
A lot of fall out
Hard to blend
Patchy application

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Skin Frost (Dark Horse)

This is the third Jeffree Star Cosmetics Skin Frost that I have purchased. I love them because they offer a lot of product for what you pay and also the skin frost can be used literally anywhere, face and body. I initially passed on this color, because I have similar looking highlighters from Colourpop Cosmetics. But there was a Black Friday sale and I could not resist. The large pink compact is sturdy and features a large mirror. The color is a beautiful golden bronze, suitable for tan to dark skin tones. A little goes a long way so use a light hand when applying. $29.00USD

Lena Lashes Liquid Matte Lipsticks Slayage and Michael

Review
 Baby matte liquid lipstick in Slayage (deep burgundy) and more matte than matte liquid lipstick in Michael (sienna). Slayage does try down fast and matte but it does transfer and rub off when touched, so it is not kiss proof. Michael however takes forever to dry at least 8 minutes, but does not transfer once dry. But colors suitable for all skin tones. $6.99

Colourpop Super Cheek Shock Do Not Disturb (Pearlized)

This super cheek shock looks familiar but unlike Colourpop's Avalon  
it is a true golden bronze, where Avalon is more of a copper bronze. This highlighter formula is a cream that dries down and does not budge. I use my finger tips to apply because it's easier and a brush damages the product and leaves a patchy application on the skin. Perfect for tan to deep skin tones. $8.00 +Colourpop Fun

Colourpop Super Shock Cheek Highlighter: Over The Moon

 This duocrome highlighter is super cute and pretty. Sorry pictures do it no justice. 
It packs a lot of pink and violet sparkles and I'm sure would be blinding in certain lighting. Take caution when applying this cream to powder to the cheeks with your fingers because it will transfer and does not budge once applied. Great glitter pay off and longevity for face, eyes, and body. $8.00USD.

Urban Decay Naked Smoky

 This palette gives me everything except smokey when I look at the colors. It gives me a neutral vibe and so with that being said. I struggle to find a occasion to wear any of these colors. The colors in this palette are not uniform or cohesive with each other to bring a eye look together. The formulas in this palette are satin, metallic and matte, which is confusing on it's own because sometimes a metallic matte eye look can be difficult to pull off especially if you are new to makeup or not an expert on proper application. But don't fret! Urban Decay included a look book and a double ended eye shadow brush! Yay! So that settles that issue. So now on to the details, you get 12 eye shadows that are 1.3grams, 0.05 oz. The palette itself has a magnetic closure and is made of a sturdy plastic with a nice sized mirror. I like this palette over all, and the pigmentation and longevity of these shadows don't disappoint. $54.00 +Urban Decay Cosmetics 

 Recommendations: For deeper skin tones, apply a light color eye shadow base to eyelids instead of an eyelid primer for more color pay off.
