OFRA | Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Ipsy Unzipped (Review)

Product Summary:
Know how some matte colors can dry out your lips? Not this one. The creamy formula is made with nourishing vitamin E to help keep your lips hydrated, comfy, and soft. It's lightweight, long lasting and stays put for hours. Unwind and unzip into this universally flattering nude-berry shade. Ofra's liquid lipsticks cost $20. 

I ended up receiving this item in a Ipsy glam bag which is a monthly beauty subscription service where you get 5 items from sample to full size for around 20$ Canadian. Click here to check them out.

***Cruelty free ❤***

Liquid lipsticks are a little tricky if you don't know how to take care of your lips. That is why lip scrubs are so essential when it comes to liquid lipsticks. It removes any dead skin and it prepares the lips before applying the liquid lipstick. While this liquid lipstick is super creamy, you still need to use a lip scrub or else you will get clumps throughout the day. 

This product is comfortable to wear on the lips. It's not heavy nor does it dry out your lips. It does, unfortunately, wear off throughout the day. Especially, if you are eating and drinking since the oils break down the lipstick. Even if it wears off, I'm still able to re-apply it without any clumping. It's easy enough to apply if you have a steady hand but you can use a angled/pointed brush with some concealer to clean up the edges for sharp lines. 

I'm not a fan of having to re-apply this liquid lipstick multiple times a day. It's tiring and annoying to do and there are other liquid lipsticks with better staying power. Even if I line my lips with a lipliner, I still have feathering that occurs and I have to constantly make sure the lipstick is not all over the place. 

Unzipped is an amazing color for fall/winter and it works really well with my complexion and newly done dark hair. I'm just not overly thrilled with the packaging. The cap of the lipstick got unglued so now I have to be careful when I twist it open or else the cap just comes off. Poor packaging choice on that.

Rating:
I am going to give this lipstick 2 stars on 5. I wasn't overly impressed with this product. It's a nice color and it is creamy but you have to re-apply constantly, there's feathering that happens often and the fact that the packaging didn't hold up with the cap just doesn't do it for me. The color is amazing and looks fantastic on me but it doesn't last long which just adds more stress to my day.

Neutrogena: Healthy Skin Instant Tone Corrector (Review)

Image
***Not Cruelty Free 👎*** This silky, lightweight formula is meant to smooth the skin and correct complexion in seconds. This formula contains essential soy which is "proven" to correct and brighten skin tone while also reducing the look of dark spots, pores and wrinkles. It also helps make-up to be applied smoothly and last longer. The SPF in the tone corrector helps the skin looking healthy. It can be worn alone or with makeup. It contains SPF 15 and is for all skin types. This product costs around $20 but I got it for a $1! You can checkout Neutrogena's website  here.   Essentially, this is a tone corrector and it can be used as a primer after moisturizer. When I read the description on the box I was praying to God that this would work because as I've previously stated in the past few blog posts I've written; this summer my skin has been freaking out with pimples and in consequence I have dark spots all over my chin area where I previously had pimples...

True Blood: Season 1 Episode 6 Cold Ground (Episode Review)

Image
((((((This review contains spoilers.)))))) Adele Stackhouse is dead and of course Sookie is in shock but damn everyone keeps on bugging her. Can everyone just let the poor girl grieve? Of course Sam and Bill have to seize each other up. My question is why does Bill think he knows Sookie so well? Dude, you've known her maybe a week tops. Or has he known her for a week as he would like everyone to believe? I don't understand how Sookie was able to clean up the kitchen after her grandmother was murdered in it. It's a shame that Adele died she was such a gentle spirit.  Jason is just slowly deteriorating beyond belief. Addicted to vampire blood, suspected of several murders and now hitting his own sister. Thank God for Tara and Lafayette because they are amazing friends. They are funny and caring I wish they were my friends.  Sookie yelling and cursing at everyone during the funeral just made me laugh so much. I would react the same way if not worse had I been abl...

Ouija: Origin Of Evil (Movie Review)

Image
(((((Please be warned there are spoilers))))) Movie Summary: In 1960's California, a fake medium's daughter tries to communicate with her late father through a Ouija board, but unleashes a demon instead. This movie is the prequel of the movie Ouija which I have already reviewed. The review for the movie Ouija is here. In the movie we are introduced to the Zander family. The widowed mother Alice and her two daughters Paulina and Doris. Due to losing her husband, Alice becomes the sole provider for her family and to earn some sort of income she performs séances to help her clients get closure from their passed loved ones. She makes money off of scamming people and she uses both her daughters to do it. Personally, I think it's really fucked up to exploit someone's pain and grief to make a few quick bucks. But using her own logic, through deceit she is able to provide some sort of comfort and closure. It does not take too long for Alice to incorporate the po...
