Jeffree Star Cosmetics Liquid Lipsticks– Swatches

I have to say Jeffree stars liquid lipstick formula is pretty incredible. It doesn’t feel cakey and doesn’t come off when you press your lips together like others. It also isn’t as drying as I expected. His lipsticks are $18 each and are currently sold out but they should return in March or April I believe.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Contour Kits–Swatches

These contour kits retail for $40 each and are only available online for now at www.anastasiabeverlyhills.com (they are temporarily off her website since she is working on getting another server) but they are also available at www.macys.com. They will be available at Macy’s impulse stores at the end of March.

They currently only come in 3 shade kits, light, medium, and deep. A ‘fair’ kit is currently in the works and will be available soon!

I was surprised at how pigmented these creams are, they give a lot of coverage but at the same time they blend easily so you won’t be left with harsh lines. The creams also do not leave the skin feeling oily like others I’ve tried and don’t have a “slip” to them either, so they don’t just slide around on the skin.

Here are swatches of each of the kits:

Gerard Cosmetics Lipsticks

So everyone has been raving about these lipsticks from Gerard Cosmetics, I already have 1995 but they are currently having a sale that I could not pass up so I decided to go ahead and get the rest of them.
I really like the formula, they’re matte but not drying on my lips. The lipsticks sell individual for $19 but they are having a sale the 5 pack of all of their lipsticks for $45 (which normally goes for $95) with the code GCdeal45, I believe the deal lasts till the end of October. I couldn’t resist since I had been wanting their other lipsticks but wasn’t willing to pay $80+ for the other 4 haha

Here are swatches of all of the lipsticks

Ipsy May 2013 Glam Bag

 

My Glam Bag finally arrived today! This month they had so many different possible products and this bag is definitely worth more than $10.

Products:

St. Tropez Instant Glow Body Lotion- I’m so glad I got this! My legs definitely need some color and it leaves a nice golden color to the skin.

Nume Finishing Serum- At first I was a little bummed I got this since I only style my hair with heat tools like twice a year but after reading the bottle I’m looking forward to using it! It tames flyaways and frizz, preserves hair color by sealing your cuticle, and reduces blow dry time and speed up styling time, and since I have frizz I’m definitely in need of a good serum.

Zoya Nail Laquer in Neely- I was ecstatic when I saw I got the green shade, I have been into pastel green nail polishes lately so I can’t wait to wear it.

Yabi Concealer in Buff-  When I saw we were getting a concealer in this months bag I was a little nervous because I didn’t want to get one that was too dark (even though I figured I could use it has a contour or a highlight if it was too light) I wanted one that I could actually use as a concealer and Buff is the perfect shade for me!

Juicy Beauty Lipgloss in Pink- I was disappointed when I saw that I got a lip gloss since I don’t wear lip gloss…at all but thankfully its not sticky or thick at all. The smell is fruity, a little bit too strong at first but fades after a little while.

MAC RiRi Woo Swatches and Comparisons

OK GUYS! I finally got my RiRi Woo yesterday!! I was soo excited! The first thing I did today was go to Nordstrom to get swatches of Russian Red and Ruby Woo to compare them for you all, because I lost my Ruby Woo and I don’t own Russian Red.

RiRi Woo (RRW) and Ruby Woo (RW) are very and I mean VERY similar, except RRW is a little more intense and a bit deeper. Its really hard to tell the difference in photographs but they are pretty much the same color. I would have been a little disappointed had I not lost RW since they’re really close in color. The main difference is the formula, RRW is smoother and less drying than RW but other than that theres not really a difference. So those of you that own Ruby Woo don’t be too disappointed! I also swatched it with Russian Red and RR is deeper and has a smoother formula.

RiRi Woo will be available again in June, so those of you who didn’t get your hands on it you still have a chance!

So now what you’re really here for, the pictures! (Excuse my messy vanity I’m in the process of re-organizing it)

You can BARELY tell that RRW is a little more vibrant that RW in the photo but its a little more noticeable in person. It’s kind of like if Russian Red and Ruby Woo had a baby.

Mary Kay: True Dimension Lipsticks

Mary Kay is one of my favorite brands, it was the first makeup brand I started using (since my mom used to sell it when I was little) I remember I used to go into her makeup and practice putting on eyeliner, eyeshadow, lipstick, you name it so that way when I got older and I was allowed to wear makeup I’d know how haha

Anyway! back to the post! I recently bought a lot of different products from Mary Kay and instead of doing a huge collective post I’m going to do several different posts by category on the products I got. This one is going to be on lipsticks. I’ve recently been into the whole “its a balm and a lipstick” type of lip products as opposed to standard lipsticks, so I figured I’d try these.

They come in silver tubes, and you push them from the top and the lipstick bullet pops out on the bottom, its pretty cool!

 

I bought 4 of their True Dimension lipsticks which Mary Kay describes as “Intensely moisturizing. Exquisitely smoothing. It’s like a color-infused fountain of youth for your lips.” and they are, I love them! They really are moisturizing and don’t feel sticky or waxy which of course is great!

New Lip Colors

Color Whisper in A Plum Prospect- I’ve said how amazing these are in my last post about color whispers and I’ll say it again. I love to buy corresponding colors to lipsticks that I own and apply them over my lipstick during the day when my lips start drying out and it hydrates them and keeps the color vibrant. I love all the ones that I have but A Plum Prospect is my new favorite color whisper at the moment! Its a gorgeous berry color with subtle shimmer that actually looks very pretty for summer. 

Khroma Joystick in Shocking Pink- This is my current favorite fuchsia lip color, It’s so bright and the formula is hydrating. I love that they are pencil type lipsticks because they allow you to be precise when applying them.

L’Oreal Versailles Romance Polishes

I have been wanting these polishes since January and I finally saw them went I went to target the other day! I had originally wanted to purchases all of them but only bought 4 of the 6 since I have several purples that are similar to the one in the collection and shimmery peachy colors aren’t really my favorite so I decided to skip those.

The formula is pretty nice, but Creme Puffs and Pistachio Dream were a little streaky but evened out pretty well on the second coat, other than that the colors are beautiful! I consider these to be the perfect pastel shades. They’re not chalky look where they wash out your skin tone. Although I love all of them, I’d have to say Pistachio Dream is my favorite.

Creme Puffs It’s an iridescent/shimmery yellow but I like that once its dried you can barely see the shimmer. It’s perfect for spring and summer!

Macaroon Me Madly It’s a gorgeous pastel pink with no shimmer.

Pistachio Dream It also looks iridescent in the bottle but once it dries you can barely tell, which I like.

 

Royally Yours It’s a really pretty baby blue with no shimmer. One of my favorites.

Swatches: Two Faced Glamour Dust in Glampire

I purchased one of the Glamour Dust Glitter Pigments by Two Faced in the color Glampire, has a purple-y/brown base with blue shimmer, its described as a “peacock brown.”  I also bought the their Shadow Insurance Glitter Glue to use as a base when I apply this or other glitters that I have.

(click image to enlarge)

 left swatch is Glampire alone, right swatch is glampire over the glitter glue.

 

Of course like any shadow it looks better with a base under it. I really love this glitter its such a pretty color! You can also wear it on top of other eyeshadows to give them a different look and the glitter glue can also be used on top of eyeshadows to keep the glitter in place.

In the photo above I swatched a dark brown metallic shadow to the left, a gold metallic shadow in the middle and a purple metallic shadow on the right, dabbed some glitter glue on top of them and applied Glampire over them. It gives a nice iridescent glittery finish to them. I’ll definitely try some different looks with this and pair it with other colors.

Victoria’s Secret Lip Gloss

Okay, anyone who knows me knows that I absolutely can not stand lipgloss. I have no idea why, I’m just a lipstick girl. BUT I figured if I’m going to have a blog I need to be well rounded, plus I’ve been wanting to try wearing lip gloss for spring. I’ve been looking up lip glosses because there is nothing I hate more than a sticky lipgloss and many people said Victoria’s Secret had nice lip glosses. So I headed to Victoria’s Secret and decided to pick up two of their lip glosses.

I just realized they only have the name printed on the plastic seal not on the actual lip gloss! So I’m not too sure on the colors…how annoying. I believe the two colors I bought are Kiss Of Pink and Enchanted

(left: Enchanted, Right: Kiss Of Pink)

(left: Kiss Of Pink, right: Enchanted)

The formula is actually really nice, not sticky or thick at all which I appreciate. Kiss of pink has a really pretty pink shimmer while Enchanted is more of a pearly-shimmer. They come with doe foot applicators (I wish they had brushes instead) They smell kind of like strawberry or something…not too bad, I like the way they smell. The only thing I don’t like is that they don’t have the name printed on the tube! How are people supposed to be sure which one they bought?!
