Review

I love this color and the formula. It did stay put 8 plus hours with eating and drinking, I only had to reapply at the corners and the inside of the lips afterwards. Did not fade or flake. Excellent coverage. This color is a deep purple, that would look vampy and amazing on all skin tones. Use makeup remover wipes to remove this product from the lips.

LASplash Smitten LipTint Mousse: Raven Claw

From LASplash Cosmetics Website:

Bathe your lips in intense color! The Smitten LipTint Mousse seals color on the lips for a waterproof, smudge-proof result that will not transfer or fade. Its innovative weightless formula glides on effortlessly over lips, laying down bold vibrant color with exceptional longevity and feels feather-light over the lips. When applied, the initial liquid texture immediately dries to a velvet matte, lightweight tint. The angled, dense sponge applicator makes applying the lipstick fast and easy, and precise application.

 Review

I love the color and the formula is thicker and dries faster than other brands. As far as long lasting it is long lasting however expect some flaking over time and reapplications after eating and even drinking from a straw. It is advertised as waterproof and indeed it is as I swatched it on my hand and it stayed throughout the next day until I removed it with a makeup wipe.  I recommend a oil based makeup remover to remove this lip product. Be quick and as accurate with your application as possible because this formula dries quick. I'd say up to a minute after application. No taste or smell to complain of. And I enjoy the packaging. This particular color is a pigmented beauty deep berry color, which would look great on all skin tones.  $11.98USD

M.A.C FLICKER PRESSED PIGMENT

 M.A.C Flicker Pressed Pigment

 This pressed pigment is a little on the pricey side at $21.00 USD but well worth it, it is a wonderful highlight for the brows and the cheeks, and can be applied wet or dry. I recommend using M.A.C's Fix + for wet coverage on the eyes. It is a beautiful shimmer sparkle pigment with yellow reflects which shows beautiful on brown skin. Use sparingly a little goes a long way.

Kleancolor Opaque Matte Nail Lacquer Oh So Hot

 

I'm in love with this neon red polish, the brush is wide but I understand why, the challenge is to get full coverage of the entire nail in one stroke, otherwise when the lacquer dries it will be streaky, forcing you to have to go over it again and again.  This matte lacquer holds it's disposition 5 days with showering, hand washing, etc before it just wears down to a dull shine, the color will have a buffed look to it if that makes sense.  I wish the color would stay matte longer, but results are understandably temporary. 

Pros:

fast drying

beautiful color

wide brush for greater coverage

affordable

Cons:

lacquer clumps easily

uneven coverage

temporary results

Review

Although I understand what L.A. Colors is trying to convey with these lip paints the execution is off. They are not long lasting on the lips. The color smears on everything. And I feel the 5 dollar price is too steep for a lipgloss of this quality. But then again L.A. Girls products have never been up to par compared to the competition.  This is a great gloss for makeup beginners who are just starting out in the makeup trot or those who just want a wash of color on the lips. This product feels nice on the lips but beware if eating or drinking it will smear terribly. So reapplication is inevitable.

 408 (Red) 420 (Lavender) 419 (Mauve) 412 (Plum)

 These lipsticks are super matte, long lasting and have great coverage. However they can be super drying on the lips, and there is some tugging during application. 419 and 412 are my favorites, because the colors have day to night potential with the right neutral or smokey eye. 408 is not as pigmented as I'd like my red to be. Three applications needed for opaque coverage. 420 is a gorgeous retro pinky lavender, great for fair to tan skin tones, but to light for mine. Photo shown below are colors in daylight.

M.A.C By Request! M.A.C Glam Lipstick (Review & Swatches)

 I love this color. It is more cherry than Ruby Woo, it is a matte however it feels and looks more like a satin on the lips. Not a retro matte, which are my favorites. This lipstick is opaque and the coverage is amazing. This is a limited edition color. Purchased M.A.C By Request online. Lasted 6+ hours without eating. $16.00USD
