Flower Beauty Lip Suede Velvet Lip Chubby - Coral Floral VC5

Hello Blogger and Internet readers! In this post, I want to talk about one of the colors I got from the new Flower Beauty Lip Suede in Coral Floral. This Lip Suedes retail for $7.98 USD and you can find them at Walmart stores and Walmart.com. Let's take a close look after the jump!

The Lip Suedes are definitely Flower Beauty's version of the ever so popular twist up crayon lip pencils EXCEPT these are matte finish. The only other brand I have seen do this thus far is Revlon and this Lip Suede is definitely a good competitor!

 

If compared to Revlon's Matte Balm, the Flower Lip Suede for me, did not go on as creamy and I definitely had to go over a few times to get an opaque color on my lips. It's not balmy, so use a lip balm before applying the Lip Suede. It gives a LOVELY matte finish without being TOO drying, but a lip balm underneath is HIGHLY recommended as it accentuates dry patches on your lips as you will see in the photo below.

 

If not eating or drinking much, this product will last all day, but let's be real. Doesn't matter if you have something on your lips, girls gotta EAT! It does STAIN the lips so that there still will be color there even after eating and drinking.



Overall, if you love lip crayons and love a MATTE finish. I would recommend trying out Flower Beauty Lip Suede Velvet lips chubbies!

Flower Beauty Perfect Canvas Creme Foundation - CF4

 

 

Hello again Blogger and Internet friends! After many weeks, now I have a new post to share! I hope it will be the first of a good bit more to come. In this post I want to write about Flower Beauty by Drew Barrymore. For Spring 2014, she came out with some new products, the first I will write about is her Crème Foundation. Let's take a look!

 

Flower Crème Foundation retails for $12.98 at Walmart stores and gives 0.32oz of product. There are four shades available and I purchased the darkest shade.

As far as packaging goes, just like the Pressed Powder, there is NO mirror in this compact. It's just the product on one side and a sponge on the other that was too firm to pick up hardly ANY product. I used a foundation brush, or ANY brush to get this product on your face.

For performance, it did VERY well for a cream foundation. I do not go for foundation formulas like this because they tend to be TOO moisturizing for my oily skin. I was pleasantly surprised at how LITTLE oil was on my face after about 7 hours of wear with NO primer. Using a powder on top, helped to eliminate oil during future uses. It gave me pretty much full coverage without have to build the product with too many layers. For me, one good layer with another JUST on problems areas was enough.

Do I recommend this product? Yes and No. No, because I think that since the sponge was not useful, you are going to have to find a different makeup tool to apply this product. It not like a squeeze tube that you can easily get product from packaging to the face. Yes, because if you like cream foundation without the heavy/ cakey feeling, then give Flower Beauty a chance. It's accessible at most Walmart stores and Walmart.com.

If you are interested to see me apply this foundation as well as ALL the other Flower Beauty Spring 2014 items I purchased then click the video below!

Rimmel ScandalEyes Eyeshadow Paints: Rich Russet, Peachy Apricot, Manganese Purple, Pomegranate, Velvet Black

 

Hello everyone! I have some new product to share with you from Rimmel London!

They are the ScandalEyes Shadow Paints ($4.97 USD), and I found mine at Walmart. It's pretty much Rimmel's liquid/cream eyeshadow line. I bought 5 colors, Rich Russet, Peachy Apricot, Manganese Purple, Pomegranate, and Velvet Black. Here's what Rimmel had to say on their website:

 

Long wearing metallic eyeshadow paint for an intense bold look
Scandalous colour impact!
It’s the end of dull, subtle colour with this multi-dimensional cream shadow formula
Spatula applicator delivers high intensity coverage in one simple stroke
Waterproof & crease-proof with 8-hour wear

Top to Bottom: Rich Russet, Manganese Purple, Velvet Black, Pomegranate, Peachy Apricot

I really do not know how I feel about the packaging. It looks like a lipgloss. It's a clear tube so that you can see the color and see how much product you have used up. I really did not like the applicator. It could just be my awkwardness, but the applicator made it hard to control the amount of product that ended up on the lids. I could scrap off the sides, but still get a LOAD of color on my eyes. I would just say BE CAREFUL during application.

After I got the amount of product that I wanted on my eyes, you HAVE to work quickly and decided whether you need to blend out the color, or leave it be. After this stuff sets, it is not going ANYWHERE unless you are going to add makeup remover to the mix. So, it holds true to the claim of not budging or smudging UNLESS you do not use a primer and have oily lids. At the end of the day, I still got creasing unless I used a primer beforehand.



L to R: Rich Russet, Manganese Purple, Velvet Black, Pomegranate, Peachy Apricot

 As far as the colors so, they all performed equally well with the staying power but varied in ease in application and build ability. They all have SOME sort of micro shimmer in them and are very metallic.

The two colors that really were hard to work with were Manganese Purple and Peachy Apricot. The purple took about 3 LAYERS to get an opaque look on the eyes. The bad thing about that is as you build these colors on themselves, they FEEL very heavy and thick on the lids. I do not like FEELING my eyeshadow everytime I blink especially since I have hooded eyelids. The other color I did not really enjoy was Peachy Apricot. No matter WHAT I did, I could NOT get this color to be even on my lids. I tried waiting longer before opening my eyes, different primers, it just creased A LOT and would bunch up on my lids. NOT CUTE! All the other colors were wonderful, and I definitely recommend them.

If you use these products for nothing else, they make a nice base for other eyeshadows! I would just say BEWARE of increase fallout as you press your powder shadows on these!

 

 

So have you tried these Shadow Paints by Rimmel? Loved them? Or hated them? Let me know!

 

Thank always for reading and I hope you found this helpful!

Maybelline Master Glaze by FaceStudio - Make a Mauve

 

 

Hello internet beauties! I have a new product from a NEW line from Maybelline cosmetics. The line is FaceStudio and the product is their Master Glaze a cream stick blush. At my CVS it was $8.99.

 

Here's what Maybelline had to say:

 

Cheeks go dewy and gently glazed with this portable, creamy blush stick.

Glazed pearls + a shea butter glide provide blendable, natural color and smooth, even application.

Fragrance Free. Non-comedogenic. Suitable for all skin types.

Ok, I did not love this product. More and anything I was upset with the price and the amount of that is product given. I measured this sucker and it was HALF AN INCH for pretty much 9 BUCKS! SMH Maybelline. I felt a little cheated, and after trying out the product it didn't even last the whole day on my cheeks with foundation or not! I barely got 4 hours of wear before it faded and there nothing but shimmer, glitter left. No ma'am and sir! It wasn't for me!

 

 

I do, however, agree with the claims made by Maybelline. It does give a dewy look to the skin but oily skin people BEWARE it can make your cheeks look like a disco ball! It was VERY creamy and blended effortlessly. One could definitely control the intensity of the color on the cheek since it was BUILDABLE as well.

 

 

 

This Master Glaze by Maybelline wasn't for me, but if you tried it and loved it, let me know! I would love to read about your experiences with this product.

Drink up, beauties!

 

Covergirl TruBlend Fix Stick Concealer - Deep D5-6-7

 

Hello all! I have a new product to share with you all! It's the new Covergirl TruBlend FixStick Concealer ($6-7). I have to admit, that I am not a fan of Covergirl and when they have new products, I don't even look their way. It was my obsession with concealers that compelled me to buy this. Along with new concealers, Covergirl has new TruBlend foundation to go along with them. There are SIX shades available of this concealer and I got the darkest: Deep D5-7.

 

 



This concealer is the typical crayon that you can twist up and down from a point at the bottom. This was VERY creamy and easy to blend on the skin. I definitely say it was BETTER at blending than the L'Oreal True Match Concealer which I review side by side HERE. This was a good match for my skin tone is reference to DEEPNESS, but it was the WRONG UNDERTONE. I am more yellow toned and this was more NEUTRAL. Actually, this whole new Covergirl line is catered more to neutral skin tones.

 

Overall, I thought this was a good concealer on how well it blended, lasted on the skin, and the it gives good medium coverage, BUT I did return it. I could not use it how I wanted to because of the mix-match undertone. On me, it make my under eye area look TIRED and in natural light you could DEFINITELY pick up on ALL the little areas on my cheeks I tried to cover using it.

L'Oreal Infallible Silkissime Eyeliners in Black, Plum, & Highlighter

 

The Infallible Silkissime liner ($7.99-$9.99 USD), it's the new eyeliner from L'Oreal. For me in the past, L'Oreal was my go to brand for all things eyeliner. Recently, it's mostly misses and money wasted on broken promises BUT these Silkissime is definitely a game changer!

 

Claims from L'Oreal website:

• Glides like silk.
• Soft like silk.
• Up to 16 Hour Wear

Indulge your eyes in silk. Glide on smooth intensity with our first silk inspired liquid pencil. Introducing Silkissime by Infallible for 16-hours of intense color from dusk until dawn.

 

 

 

There are four available colors and I purchases 3: black, plum, and highlighter. Are these eyeliner silky and creamy? YES! I'm was very impressed how EASY they went on the eyes. Even though they are VERY creamy; they are nearly budge-proof on the TOP eyelid. On the WATERLINE, all three vary very differently! 16hour wear? Phptt! Not a chance, but nice try L'Oreal! The Black eyeliner I got 6 1/2 hours of wear before MAJOR smudging on the top and fading of the waterline. The Plum lasted about 4 hours on the waterline, and Highlighter shade was the shortest at about 1-2 hours before it COMPLETELY disappeared! If I had to recommend a shade, GO FOR BLACK! I compared it to the Urban Decay 24/7 Pencil in Perversion and they were nearly the SAME on staying power and intensity!





Highlighter, Plum, & Black

Overall, I do love these eyeliners! They may vary in the waterline, but if you are looking for some new eyeliners, I definitely recommend checking these guys out.

Tried the L'Oreal Infallible Silkissimes already? Loved it or hated it? Let me know!

L'Oreal Color Riche Extraordinaire Liquid Lipsticks - Molto Mauve, Caramel Solo, Scarlet Concerto, & Plum Adagio

L to R: Caramel Solo, Molto Mauve, Scarlet Concerto, & Plum Adagio

 

Hello people of the Internet! If you may or may not know, there is a new lip product from L'Oreal called (deep breath) the Color Riche Extraordinaire Liquid Lipsticks. I may be the only one, but I hate when L'Oreal gives their products these LONG names that people are NOT going to remember! Oh well, it's their product, and I have 4 shades I have swatched and want to talk to you all about, Molto Mauve 500, Caramel Solo 703, Scarlet Concerto 306, and Plum Adagio 502.

 

 

The L'Oreal Extraordinaire Liquid Lipsticks (~$9.99) is a product that L'Oreal claims has "rich color", "shines", and "smoothes" and I am here to give my two scents about what I have experienced with this product. Here are some other claims from the L'Oreal website.

 

'Transform lips from ordinary to extraordinary. Color is richer, lip surface is smoother and shine is magnified. Formulated with precious micro-oils and rich color pigments, Extraordinaire provides the ideal balance of color and care for perfect lips. The unique soft-touch applicator allows for a silky-smooth, gliding application'

 

So from all of this, I understand that this should be like a nutrient rich glossy lipstick, but from what I experienced with these shades is that this product is A LOT like the L'Oreal Colour Caresse Wet Shine Stains. They look the same on my lips, act the same, even SMELL the same, but for me, the Liquid Lipsticks were WAY better!

 

The Liquid Lipsticks WERE very hydrating and nourishing on my lips. I did not have to apply a lipbalm before application like with the Shine Stains. I got more uniform color payoff between the shades I chose and they are buildable. I just found that the Liquid Lipsticks took LONGER to set in between layers when building up the color.

 

Three of the four colors were VERY intense and gave good color opacity in one to two go around. Scarlet Concerto, the red, took about 3-4 layers for me to get the color that I was looking for. All the colors have tiny glitter particles in them. But I didn't notice them until I looked for me because after a few days of wearing these, my lips got a little sensitive. My lips ALWAYS seem to know when there is glitter of SOME kind because they will get IRRITATED =[

 

As far as durability on the lips, Caramel Solo did the best through a regular day of eating and drinking. I could still see the other 3 colors, but they faded quite a bit and mostly there was shimmer left. I also felt that these products get STICKY as the day goes on and they dry down a bit even though they were not DRYING on the lips.

Overall, I really like these! Good color selection and good color payoff. Have you seen these lip products in stores yet? Tried them? What are your thoughts? Let me know!
