Mascara

Mascara is so hard to find a really good one . I have tried over 9! Today I am showing you 4 drugstore ones . I am going to try Mac Plush Lash though wish me luck ! Today in this review I am going to talk about Maybelline's One by One , L'Oreal Voluminous , Revlon Lash Fantasy Total Definition Water Proof , Elf Waterproof Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara .


The Review 


Well lets do what they have in common and not in common first !

In common

  • Flake 
  • smear
  • clump
  • nice brush  
Not in common
  • the brush type
  • the outcome
  • the look
  • the type of style it gives
So they are pretty much in common but I hate when it says waterproof and it still flakes ! The prettiest case is the L'Oreal Voluminous mascara that's about it the others are ugly LOL! The only one different is the Revlon . It has a primer and the mascara but to be honest ... the primer makes no difference it sucks! Maybelline's case is red and a light blue . It is nice but , the brush is too easy to bend . The Elf one  is plain and dose not do much ... I have it in dark brown well ha ha it is just as worse as the Revlon ! The ones with the most similar brush would be the Revlon and the L'Oreal although they apply different the L'Oreal one is a little bit more thicker . I have noticed that most of the mascara's in the Maybelline or Revlon lines apply the same though try it ! 

Elf Liquid Liner

So here is Elf's Liquid liner ... its cool not amazing . I got a set from when it was December ,Silver , Black ,Copper . The black is a bit to liquidy  for me.. oh well!

The swatches are pretty though , I'm not sure if you can get them anymore they were a dollar!

  • More pigmented 
  • Stays on longer
  • Wide range of color
  • Easy to work with
  • Color is easy to build off of

I am going to swatch for you my darker colors . Carbon , Wedge , Copperplate 



Wedge and Copperplate are not dark but on my eye when built up are are dark 
  • Carbon is a matte black 
  • Wedge is a matte light brown
  • Copperplate is a Matte 2 formula and is a creamy almost. It is a brown too
My favorite one is Carbon  . It is bendable and very intense too !

Elf Conditioning Lip Balm SPF 15

Today I am going to review Elf Conditioning lip Balm with SPF 15! I have them in Nice & Natural and Peaceful Pink . 


Review 
A lip balm .. sure . They are almost like lipstick but they wear off after 20 minutes than turn into a nice tint . They both have nice pigment ! The smell is like sunscreen . The jar is bigger than my hand but , their cream shadow jar's are bigger so who cares ! Peaceful Pink is a bright subtle pink . Nice and natural is a brown with pink undertones almost . Look at my picture i'sent that just to cool?

Peaceful Pink , Nice & Natural

Nyx Mega Shine Swatch Review

Today I am going to Swatch and Review Nyx Mega Shine gloss's . I have 3 .

Review
They are pigmented no doubt . The mega shines I have is in Pink frost ( I don't like on my lips to light ) French Kiss , Beige ( Is not beige more pink ) .So they're not my favorite lip gloss.... my least favorite is Pink Frost it is to light and frosted . Below are the swatches , my lips hurt from all day of swatching so they look the same on my hand as they do on my lips , just pink frost is more frosty -.-

pink frost , french kiss, beige

Look how nice :P!


Maybelline color Sensational Review Swatch

So I picked up Maybellines Color Sensational lipsticks . I bought 140 Fuchsia Fever ,805 Pink Freeze .
They are so pretty but 140 is wow .. its so bright and not so wearable :P!

Review 


Both are wildly different .  140 is a bright pink but almost old lady .... but it is daring ! 805 Pink Freeze is more me a light pink with shimmer. One thing I like about these is the case they come in . The Fuchsia Fever case is pink but is like the color of the stick (I like that ) .805's case is silver with rainbow reflex so pretty! I love both though ! I think it is worth going to the drug store and buying , the pigment is nice and so is the smell on 140 LOL!

140 , 805
805 ,140's cases so cute

Mac Lipstick Review Swatch

Today I am going to swatch two of my mac lipsticks . First they are so great !


The Review
Today I am going to review and swatch two nude lipsticks by mac in Shy Girl and Angle . Shy Girl is more nude with some orange coral tones . Angle is a light pink nude .Shy Girl is a cremesheen , Angle is a Frost . Both have such nice pigment and are true to the color shown on the stick! I would said they both are in the range of pink or coral . Shy Girl is a bit more creamy but more matte than Angle as being more shiny .

Mac Lipglass and Cremesheen Glass Review Swatch

Today I am going to swatch my two Lip gloss's by Mac . Lets start with the review ! 


The review 
They are so smooth and they smell great . They smell like real sugar like perfume almost! I have Florabundance , it is a milky light pink . I also have a Cremesheen Glass in Richer,Lusher , it is a pink coral color. Mac has a wide range of color's . I think they are pigmented compared to the low end colors . They are almost like lipstick in a creamery glossy form! Florabundance can be paired with any look by the way so can Richer,Lusher . They Cremesheen has a bigger tube than the lipglass although they have the same amount of pigment .

So today i am going to be showing you some swatches and a review of my Mac products ! First off I compared them to Nyx and they to "me" are better for several reasons , they are listed below .

  • More pigmented 
  • Stays on longer
  • Wide range of color
  • Easy to work with
  • Color is easy to build off of

Tomorrow is going to be the vibrant colors , by the way this will be updated because on Wednesday I'm making an order on Mac , and part  3 will be dark colors!
Part One Review
All of the highlighter or lighter colors work great and are mostly shimmer colors . One of my favorite colors would have to be Rice Paper , although I thought it would be a little lighter than it was . Rice Paper has a really nice texture . Rice paper or Naked Lunch could be worn on the lid or brow bone or tear duct . Another color that would work great on purple shadows for a highlighter or in the inner corner would be Seedy Pearl . This is so pretty! This is a frost too . I am before I show you swatches going to list textures of what I am going to swatch okay ? Okay :D



  • Seedy Pearl - Frost  , it has and pinkish purple tint but is light
  • Naked Lunch- Frost , It is a light pink with nude undertones
  • Rice Paper- Frost , It is a nude color with very light shimmer 
  • Gesso - Matte , It may not be "light light " but it is a matte vivid white
  • Forgery- Lustre , it is a sparkle white with not a lot of color just sparkles !
( swatch is shown on base which is mac paint pot in painterly )

L'Oreal Project Runway Limited Edition Pallet

So I have a L'Oreal Project Runway Limited Edition Pallet . I bought this in Charming Cockatoo's Gaze (415) It is part of their Studio Secrets professional line . They are all pressed shadows!

The pigment is a ten out of a ten ! Even the shimmer glitter color is gorgeous!

The case it comes in is so cute and it has enough space for my mac 239 to pick up color !



The swatches are over Neutrogena concealer stick in corrective yellow


Nyx Eye shadow Trios

Hey guys ! So It's time to do new swatches ! Right ? So I'm going to start with Nyx! I know many of you love Nyx so why not swatch some of them and give you my honest opinion! Currently they are $ 8.00 at
nyxcosmetics.com

Well first off pigmentation is - 8/10
Eight out of ten because some of the shades are hard to build up and feel odd .

Color range is - 9/10
Nine out of ten because they have a lot of shades for the trios!

Lets start with Honeycomb , it has one shimmery nude , one dark gold brown , and one gold !

( swatches shown on mac paint pot in painterly ! )

Shimmer nude color , Dark brown gold shimmer , Gold


Another natural trio is Nude/Taupe/Dark Brown  . It is what the title is nude a taupe and a dark brown matte!


( swatches shown on mac paint pot in painterly ! )

Nude , Taupe, Dark brown


Another natural ..almost pallet trio is Anti Diva . It has a shimmer white with purple pearl , teal and a gold


( swatches with no base ! )

Shimmer white pearl purple , teal , gold

This pallet ( Anti Diva ) show the best pigment I think by the way !

Next Hippie-Chic . It has one off white shimmer , one teal green , and one lilac !


Pigment was bad with these I really don't love this pallet what so ever!

Off white shimmer , teal green , lilac


Next is another least favorite .... Tropical/Yellow/Lime Green  . the red is so ugly and the yellow has no pigment !



Tropical , Yellow , Lime green

Here are the pallet's i have and some were a disappointment and some were fantastic ! The best one's were the nude undertones ones .. sorry !
