GIORGIO ARMANI- Luminous Silk Foundation















Giorgio Armani's Luminous Silk Foundation sells for U.S. $62.00 for 1 FL. oz of product (typical amount of product for a foundation). This foundation is good on normal to combination skin types. On Sephora's website it states how this foundation is a light-weight liquid that achieves a radiant, silky finish. For the heavy price tag I don't think this product is worth splurging on, there are so many other options of foundation that works even better but this foundation does give you an effortless coverage no matter how many layers you put on you will not look cakey. Also on Sephora's website this foundation does come in a travel size (above shown is the full size product that retails for $62.00 in shade 7.5), the travel size retails for U.S. $42.00 for 0.06 oz of product... The travel size is an exclusive to Sephora and can be bought online only. This foundation does offer a variety of different skin tones with several different undertones. I give this product a 6/10, in my opinion it's not worth splurging on, there are better foundations with a more gorgeous coverage but it's a nice foundation in general. If you're going to purchase this make sure you go to the store to see what your shade is, online I thought I was in shade 6 but turns out to be I'm actually 7.5, best of luck!

MORPHE- 35O Palette



Morphe's best selling eyeshadow palette the 35O Nature Glow Palatte features 35 eyeshadows with a mixture of matte, satin and metallic finishes! This palette retails for U.S. $22.99. On the right are swatches of different shades from the palatte, Morphe mentions how the colors from their 35 eyeshadow pan palates are are different than their individual eyeshadows even though some colors may be close matches... This palette is perfect for the upcoming fall season! The colors are highly pigmented and so easy to blend on the eye and last throughout the day. The price point and the quality of these eyeshadows are unbelievable. Due to the amazing feedback of the launching of this palette Morphe has come out with 2 more palattes relating to all the shades from this one, they've created an all matte 35OM (MORPHE 35OM Palatte Link ) and an all shimmer palette 35OS (MORPHE- 35OS Palatte Link) both retail for the same price or you can purchase the bundle of both 35OM and 35OS for U.S. $43.99 (MORPHE- 35OM & 35OS Bundle Link)!

ESSENCE- Liquid Lipstick


Essence's Liquid Lipstick retails for U.S. $3.49 for 0.13 oz of product! On Ulta's websites it says, "This Essence Liquid Lipstick combines the best of both lipstick and lip gloss. Get the impact and coverage of a lipstick with the moisturizing shine of a gloss. Not tested on animals." This product is crazy!!! I don't wear glosses but this Liquid Lipstick is so highly pigmented for such a low price and sits on the lips beautifully. I wear this whenever I have a dewy look on, this product makes your lips so plumped and glossy. Left to right are the Liquid Lipstick in shades 02 beauty secret and 06 make a statement. The packaging of these glosses are so cute as well. This Liquid Lipstick applies thick on the lips but can be spread out for an even application. 10/10 would recommend, definitely worth the price!

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS- Glow Kit: Sweets

Anastasia Beverly Hill's Glow Kit in Sweets is the most pigmented Glow Kit they've released till this day! These Glow Kits retail for U.S. $40.00, left to right (swatches) are Marshmallow (intense pearl with gold reflect), Sassy Grape (lavender with blue reflect), Butterscotch (gold with white reflect) and Taffy (a fusion of peach, pink, and gold reflect). Each powders have 7.4g/0.26 oz worth of product which amazing for the price point, a single full-sized BECCA highlighter is worth U.S. $38.00 which only comes with 0.19 oz of product... On ABH's website it mentions how these 4 powders are metallic highlighters (which they totally are), they also mention how it's ideal to use their highlighting brush #23 which retails for U.S. $25.00 (ABH: Highlighting Brush #23 Link) I would 10/10 recommend this product out of all of the 4 Glow Kits I own from Anastasia Beverly Hills, this is the most pigmented one. The shade in Butterscotch has chunky glitter but if that bothers you that shade is not meant for you but overall these shades are universal and help create a one of a kind look!

COLOURPOP- Lippe Stix



ColourPop lippie stix's retail for U.S. $5.00, this collection from ColourPop which is cruelty free comes in various finishes: Pearlized, Matte, Créme, Matte X, Satin Luxe, Sheer, Satin and Glossy. Left to right are the Lippie Stix shades' in Lady, Dalia, Creature and Ellarie (collaboration with Feral Creature) all in matte finishes. Each Lippie Stix contains 1.0g/0.352oz worth of product. These Lippie Stixs are very comfy to wear on the lips and highly pigmented for the price tag. I give this product a 8/10 only because since all of my lippe stix are in a matte finish they leave a satin appearance once applied to my lips which a no for me but other than that the formula of these is exceptional!

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS- Liquid Lipstick













Anastasia Beverly Hill's liquid lipstick retails for U.S. $20.00 on their website it states that these liquid lipsticks are full coverage with opaque color, they have non drying whipped formulas available in 21 shades. Left to right are the liquid lipsticks shades in Sad Girl, Ashton and Kathryn. Ashton and Kathryn both dry down to matte finishes except Sad Girl which doesn't try down only because this liquid lipstick is infused to with tiny glitters to show off a metallic appearance. Each liquid lipstick has 3.2g/0.11oz worth of product inside. Note that if you apply multiple coats at once on the lips with this product you lips will dry out and the lipstick will start to crack and peel off in patches, you only need one thin coat of this for your lips! 10/10 would recommend, even though it's pricey the lipstick does go a long way and is budge proof!

COLOURPOP- Super Shock Shadows



ColourPop retails their Super Shock Shadows for U.S. $5.00, the shadows shown above are (left to right) Flower Shop, Flutes, KAEPOP Crenshaw (collaboration with Karrueche) and Nillionaire. Top left picture is with flash the right one is without. Super Shock Shadow's in Flutes and Crenshaw is both matte finishes, Nillionaire is a metallic finish and Flower Shop is in a pearlized finish. These shadows are best applies with fingertips, you get more color pay off that way. If you're going to "invest" into buying these shadows I recommend purchasing the Super Shock Shadows in Satin, Pearlized or Metallic finish, they're more easier to work with. With the matte shadows' they're harder to blend on the eye and takes more effort to apply in the crease since you're using your fingertips. Each Super Shock Shadow has 2.1g/0.07oz worth of product which is a lot for a single shadow that's worth only $5.00 compared to a single Makeup Geek shadow which sells for U.S. $6.00 you're getting only 1.8g of product. 10/10 would recommend, these Super Shock Shadows are highly pigmented and wear for a long period of time! Plus, the formula of these shadows are like no other!!! If you subscribe to ColourPop's email you get $5 off your purchase.
