These expert last lipsticks are moisturizing, comfortable and long wearing to last up to 6 hours. These lipsticks are meant to have a velvety and glamorous finish that doesn't feather or bleed. These lipsticks cost around $2 a piece. I do have 11 shades out of a possible 20 shades from the collection. From the picture on the left it does have a simple plastic packaging. And the picture on the right is a swatch of all 11 lipsticks. From top to bottom there is (402) Red Flame, (415) Brandy Sparkle, (417) Flirty, (418) Sugar Plum, (437) Modern Love, (438) Candy Rush, (439) L❤ve My Latte, (440) Creamy Caramel, (440) Coralista, (446) Smooch and (447) Forever Fuchsia.  I feel like my swatch quality started deteriorating the further down I went. All the lipsticks have a very nice and pleasant scent plus they watch very nicely as you can see from the picture above, I find that each lipstick shade is unique in a sense but that some are in the same color family. Of course those ...

I truly recommend in giving them a try I've gotten products from such amazing companies and I cannot get enough of it. Check them out  here.   This liquid liner is long-lasting and waterproof which is perfect to use anywhere on the face and the body. It contain's a fine tip that allows for a defined application. It also allows you to create intricate sharp lines and the waterproof formula makes it stay on until you wish otherwise. This liquid eye liner costs around $37. For more info on this product check out Illamasqua's website  here. *****Cruelty Free 👍***** On the first try of using this liner I definitely messed up my liner, not so badly though! But it did take some getting used to because I usually use a regular eyeliner brush instead of a fine tip. The brush does pick up a good amount of product, however, you do nee...

These lip liners are meant to be soft and a smooth texture that slides over the lips like silk while also providing a natural finish with perfect definition. They are hypo-allergenic and cost around $6 a piece. You can check out  +AnnabelleCosmetics  website for more information  here. ****Annabelle Cosmetics is Cruelty-free 👍***** Fuchsia (140): If your lips are not moisturized then this lip liner will tug on your lips and it will be slightly painful. This colour does leave a nice and pigmented fuchsia colour. I especially like the way it sits on the lips. It sits comfortably without the feeling annoying. I will say that if you keep re-applying it, it will dry out your lips. Otherwise, I really love how this colour compliments and pairs well with my skin tone.  Modeste (405): I don't know where Annabelle thought that these lip liners were like silk on the lips because that is far from the truth. To apply this lip liner and others from Annabell...

This limited edition eyeshadow palette contains 32 shadows that include everyday neutrals, smoky, highlighting shades and bright pops of colour, This palette is essential for beginners and makeup artists alike. The center shades are perfect for everyday use while the surrounding shades are great for smoky looks and pops of colour. This palette costs $32 but is valued at $180. Below you can see all 32 shades from the palette swatched. I will say that some of the more neutral and lighter shades are harder to see on my skin but I did try to pack up the colour for it to be noticeable. If there are some that you cannot see you can check further down this post to see a picture of the palette itself. ****I'm not sure if this palette is cruelty free or not because Sephora took down the information for the palette before I could write down the information. If I'm not mistaken a good chunk of the Sephora collection is cruelty free (at least all the items I've purchased so far). ...

This diamond shine is a combination of base and top coat with brilliant shine and extended wear. The base coat is meant to strengthen and smooth nails while also gripping the nail polish colour. The top coat is meant to dry fast to keep the nail polish colour looking fresh and bright. Essentially, this is meant to give a high-gloss, beautiful manicure that lasts and gain noticeably harder, stronger nails. Apparently, there are real diamond particles that are 'known' to add durability and brilliant, lustrous shine. This retails for around $8.  How to Use: Apply one coat to bare nails, brush 1-2 coats of nail polish colour then finish it with 1 coat. Pretty simple.  *****Cruelty-free. This brand doesn't test on animals 👍****** I don't know what the heck has been going on but I have been having trouble with my manicures. They would barely last a day and I was quite hopeful with this product. It's extremely annoying for me to have my nails chip within ...

Description: This foundation is meant to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. While also, enhancing skin-tone. It is medium to full coverage and leaves a soft matte finish to the face. I can't seem to find this foundation on L'Oréal's website but they are still being sold in stores such as Wal-mart, pharmacies etc. This foundation retails for about $16 but I got it on sale for $1.90. I have the colour 105 nude beige. Strangely, this foundation smells like sunscreen.  ***Not cruelty free 👎*** Not surprisingly, Nude Beige is slightly too dark for my skin tone but using a light concealer in the areas I want to highlight helps me make this foundation work for me. Almost like reverse-contouring. Instead of using a contour colour over a foundation that matches my skin tone, I simply skipped a step and put a small amount of foundation all over my face. With my concealer I highlight my under eyes, middle of my forehead, chin, top of cheekbones and above my...

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...
