COLOUR POP- Ultra Matte Lip

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip (left to right) Tulle, Instigator and More Better are one of the most pigmented liquid lipsticks out there but one of the most drying formulas I've used... These liquid lipsticks retail for U.S. $6.00 which is an amazing price point for such beautiful colors (they have the most nicest colors on the market!) These lipsticks are insanely matte but unfortunately these liquid lipsticks for me dry up and crack on my lips and More Better (on the right) leaves a heavy stain on the lips after removal, I don't recommend this... I gave it a 4/10. ColourPop has Ultra Satin Lip (COLOURPOP- Ultra Satin Lip Link)products, definitely give them a try instead!

KIKO MILANO- Supergloss

Kiko Milano's supergloss retails for $7.00 but some colors are now reduced down to $3.90 in stores and on their websites. On Kiko Milano's website it states how these lip glosses are moisturizing and comfortable to wear on the lips. Above shown are super glosses in the shades (left to right) 118, 128, 117 and 118 again. The packaging of these glosses are "okay" for the price but the cap does get wonky and attracts fingerprints easily. I give this gloss 7/10 because it really doesn't last that long on the lip and the gloss is pigmented but has specs of holographic glitter, depends if you like that in a gloss or not.

TOO FACED- Sweethearts Bronzer

Too Faced Cosmetics latest Sweethearts Bronzer in Sweet Tea sells for $30.00, you can purchase this bronzer from Too Faced's website itself or other stores such as Ulta. In the swatch above you can see the left side and right side of the baked bronzer and the middle of the swatch both of them combined. On Ulta's website it says how, "the baking process and multiple colors create dimensional color to provide the look of brighter, healthier skin." They also mention the benefits of this baked bronzer, "with two perfect swatches you can just swirl the colors together and apply, or use more of one shade for a custom glow or highlight and you can blend both swatches together for one universal shade or use each swatch individually for custom color." This is one of my favorite bronzers so I definitely recommend it if you love bronzers or a sun kissed effect! Easy to apply and a little goes a long way! 10/10 worth the splurge!

MORPHE- 12S Palatte

Morphe's "PICK ME UP" collection they introduced their new 12S (Soul of Summer) palette which features 12 shimmer/metallic shades that retails for $14.99 there are no mattes in this palette. 

All shades are buttery and creamy and applies evenly on the eyelid. Each shade's formula is comparable to the metallic shades found in Morphe's 35 eyeshadow palettes which sell for U.S. $22.99. I rate this product a 8/10 because you're getting 12 shades for $14.99 but if you pay just $8.00 more for a 35 count eyeshadow palette from Morphe you'd get 23 more shadows but the shades from this palette are unique, just depends on your style, this palette is definitely perfect for on the go. To get 10% off this palatte you can use affiliate code, "ADOPTLOVE" where that 10% goes to a fundraising program to raise money for animals in need!

WET N WILD- Color Icon Blushes

Color Icon blushes with a new formula from Wet n Wild (left to right swatches are: Apri-Cot in the Middle, Mellow Wine, Pearlescent Pink) these blushes retail for U.S. $2.99, the other colors from this collection is Fantastic Plastic Pink and Rosé Champagne. From Wet nWild's website it mentions "this silky smooth powder strikes the perfect balance between a bendable transparent sheen and radiant pop maximum color." Also says how these blushes are light weight and long lasting. I strongly rate this product 10/10, its affordable and pigmented but not too pigmented where you can go easily heavy handed, Pearlescent Pink is a dupe for Nars's blush in Orgasm which is U.S. $30.00. Besides from Wet n Wild's website it can easily be found in many drugstores around you.

NARS- Hardwired Eyeshadow

Nar's hardwired eyeshadow in Outer Limits, each eyeshadow from the collection retails for $25.00 for 0.07 oz of product. This shadow Outer Limits was previously a limited edition shade when Nars collaborated with Christopher Kane (April 2015). On Sephora's website it states, "Get high-pigment color payoff with metallic shine. These long-wearing, crease-resistant shades glide on evenly, smoothly, and blend effortlessly. Just apply a single, sheer layer for a luminous effect or wear them layered for dramatic shine." In my opinion I don't think this shadow is worth even splurging on when applied to the eyelid there is no color what so ever, just glitter to create a "chunky sheen". The way I use this shadow is over lay it on top of a matte shadow to add a subtle luminosity. I rate this product a 3/10, even though I don't think this eyeshadow is worth the hype is does sell out quickly.
