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

L.A.Girl Glazed Lip Paint (Coy)


L.A. Girl lip paint (Coy)

Pigmentation 3
Packaging 5
Longevity 2
Price 2 (5.00usd)

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.

Obsession! Inglot Matte Lipsticks! (Review and Swatches)

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

Limited Edition: bareMinerals Cheek Tint (Flirt)

This mineral cheek tint is not as scary as it looks ladies, especially on my skin tone. It is a nice build able color, same method is used for the tint as with the foundations, tap, swirl and buff. Long lasting and very pretty. This is a matte tint so keep in mind there is no shimmer or shine. This is a straight up and down hot pink in the container. But on the cheeks not so hot, which is fine if you are someone that does not like bold cheek colors.
