NEW!!! Tarte Tartiest Lippie Paint! Fomo & Manbun

Image
Tarte Cosmetics recently released NEW Tartiest Lip Paint earlier this week on Tarte website and Sephora (online only). I decided to get a couple to test out the formula. Formula for this product is unlike the usual liquid lipsticks. Its very creamy to apply with a minty scent to it. Formula is comparable to Stila Everlasting Liquid lipsticks. It has a Satin - Matte finish. It doesn't crease or settle into the fine lines of lips. These are perfect for winter. Downside to this is that it is transferable and not very long lasting if you are eating or drinking. And the wand itself is weird so it can be a bit messy to apply or create that smooth clean line. Fomo: Its an exclusive to sephora limited edition mauvey pink color. It sold out so fast. I'm glad I got mine the day it was released. Color is comparable to Sephora collection Marvelous Mauve (13) and Stila Patina, in case you missed it. Fomo :  Tarte : Tartiest Lip Paint Man Bun: It a very dark berry deep re...

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lips Fall 2015

Image
We all know about Anastasia Beverly Hills and how amazing her products are. She recently came out with her fall collection of liquid lips  and an eyeshadow palette . They all looked so beautiful but for now I HAD to pick up atleast 3 of the liquid lips. I must say that shipping is really expensive to Canada ($18 USD) via UPS and I had to pay around $21 duties for 3 lipsticks! I am in love with their products but from now on I would rather wait and buy them in person than order online. The colors I chose to pickup are Veronica, Trust Issues and Sepia Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lips Here are some lip swatches.. For skin tone purposes I am Mac's NC37-40.. Anastasia Beverly Hills Veronica Liquid Lips Trust Issues Liquid Lips - Anastasia Beverly Hills Sepia Liquid Lips - Anastasia Beverly Hills I cant wait to get hands on Dusty Rose and Sarafine. But I will have to wait until January when I plan to go to IMATS LA and hopefully get to m...

LimeCrime Velvetines!

Image
One of the most talked about makeup brand out there is Lime Crime . I do think their liquid lipsticks are great, has  a smell of vanilla and feels like you are putting cupcake on your lips. On my first order I decided to get some classic velvetine colors such as Red velvet, Wicked, Salem, Utopia and Riot. Lime Crime Velvetine (Utopia, Red Velvet, Wicked, Riot, Salem) In June 2015, I was lucky enough to flew out to LA to attend Phamexpo where Lime Crime had a huge booth. I decided to pick up 2 more velvetines in the color Faded and Bleached. Lime Crime Velvetine (Bleached, Faded)  and 2 of their  liquid eyeliners  is Lazuli and Orchidaceous. Such a pretty color. Lime Crime Liquid Eyeliner (Lazuli, Orchidaceous) .

Coloured Raine Cosmetics!

Image
One of my favorite instagramer Amrezy always uses Vanity Raine matte lip paint and it looks amazing on her. So I decided to get that along with most talked about Mars , Marshmallow and 24Seven . When I received my lipsticks I was very surprised with the quality. They are so lightweight, opaque, goes on very smooth and is very long lasting. They don't feel heavy on lips at all. They do start fading in the middle of the lips after long wearing and specially after eating (greasy) food. Coloured Raine (Vanity Raine, 24Seven, Marshmallow, Mars) My favorite out of them is definitely Mars, and Vanity Raine. Such a beautiful color that will look good on all skin tone.  Here's me wearing Mars  Mars by Coloured Raine

Morphe Brushes 35B Palette!!!

Image
MorpheBrushes 35B Eyeshadow Palatte  I have heard so many good things about Morphe Brushes through YouTube and Instagram. So decided to go ahead and get a few things from them to try them out.  Got 2 palettes from them. 35B and 35T.  35B palette is a multi color glam palette mixed with both matte and satin finish eyeshadows. They are very pigmented and easy to work with however I found few of the Green shades to be very chalky, specially the matte one. Here's some swatches... 1st Row (35B) 1st Row Swatch (35B) 2nd Row (35B) 2nd Row (35B) 3rd Row (35B) 3rd Row Swatch (35B) 4th Row (35B) 4th Row Swatch (35B) 5th Row (35B) 5th Row Swatch (35B) Really like the quality of these for the price its being offered. I also got some brushes from their gunmetal and various different collection, and a few gel liners. I will post swatches later.

Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks!!!

Image
Kat Von D released few new shades this summer and I was lucky enough to grab 5 on the day it was released at Sephora Canada website . The colors I decided to get are Mother, Susperia, Double Dare, LoveSick and Bow n Arrow. They go for $24 CAD. Kat Von D offers the best formula, it's so lightweight that it doesn't feel like you are wearing lipsticks at all! Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick Bow N Arrow | Double Dare | Lovesick | Mother | Susperia Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick I also love all the new dark shades as well. Such as Nosferatu, Exorcism and Damned, but I am going to wait until fall to grab those colors.

Makeup Geek!

I have been thinking about purchasing Makeup Geek eye shadows for a long time. Everyone on YouTube, Instagram always raves about how pigmented they were and how much better it is than Mac eye shadows. So recently when I saw that they had the Ultimate Palette finally in stock I decided to go ahead and splurge a little. I also decided to pick up most of the neutral singles and 2 pigments in Utopia and Insomnia.  Makeup Geek ( HERE ) Ultimate Palette ( Here ) Pigments ( Here ) I'm absolutely in LOVE with the quality. They are extremely pigmented, buttery soft and so easy to blend. I highliy recommend them and I can't wait to get more! Recently, They released 10 New! shades of their famous FOILED SHADOWS . Cant wait to get my hands on these. Go check them out here .
