E.L.F Essential Lip Sticks

Previously I posted that I had ordered from www.eyeslipsface.com when they were having a sale on their mineral eyeshadows. If I purchased $25.00 or more I got 10 free eyeshadows. Well since I have a ton of their products already, I was just buying cheap fillers...

I decided to try their Essential Lip Sticks that cost $1.00 a piece. I bought 4 of them.

LEFT TO RIGHT: Nostalgic, Classy, Captivating and Flirtacious.

LEFT TO RIGHT: Nostalgic, Classy, Captivating and Flirtacious.

The tube itself is very light, probably the equivalent to two nail files.

They have a fruity smell to them.

They go on very smooth and are soft.

Only thing I had happen is when I did the swatches, 3 of the lip sticks broke on me. Now I don't know if it has anything to do with the heat and humidity we have in Eastern PA right now, but it made me sad. OR maybe it's because they were $1.00 each.

The Swatches:

Overall I give the lip stick 3 "stars"

Based on price and color.

I most likely won't purchase anymore.

I do love the mineral eyeshadows from e.l.f and pretty much

everything else I've boughten from them. Can't have everything!

Lime Crime Lipstick Review!

A few posts ago I did a review on my Lime Crime order. I did buy a lip stick and I loved it. So of course, I had to purchase some more. This time I went with the pinks, because pink and I are BEST FRIENDS!

The Packaging!

Contessa Fluorescent - Great Pink Planet - Centrifuchsia

The texture is so smooth! And as I have mentioned before, the smell actually resembles MAC lip sticks. A very subtle, pretty smell.

Here are the swatches....

January Favorites!

Hey my lovely Vixxens! I decided to narrow down a list of 5 TOP products that I have been loving this past month! Let me tell you, it is a hard task when you love soooo much stuff :) I hope you enjoy and feel free to check out the products too!

 Product # 1

Britney Spears' Perfume in Midnight Fantasy!
I LOVE this smell. I have been wearing it almost everyday. It doesn't have a real strong smell, but it is subtle and pretty. I'm not a chemist, so I can't pick out the exact smells, but it is awesome! I bought mine from Claire's in my near-by mall. Try Ebay or Kohls!

Product # 2

Samy Fat Hair "0" Calories Hair Spray

This hair spray is amazing. It holds my hair styles all day long. It is a tad hard, but I like my hair spray to do that. It has a unique smell to it, but it is a good one. Just one I haven't smelt before with hair spray. It was about $7.99 at a Walgreens I went to, but just check any drugstore for it!

Product # 3

MAC Fix+
This product does wonders! When I went to buy my MAC Foundation, the sales rep asked me if I used this product and I said no and that it doesn't seem necessary. WELL, until she put it on for me and showed me the difference, it was added to my shopping cart! I am not saying that there is a drastic change, but it is worth the $18.00 I spent on it. It makes your powder adhere to your skin and it lasts all day long. I feel that it also gives a more smooth complexion.

Product # 4

Klorane Gentle Shampoo
This is a waterless shampoo. It sprays out like a can of hair spray. This product smells really good and does a wonderful job at soaking up and oil on the scalp and also adding volume. I didn't believe it when I read reviews on waterless shampoo, but I wanted to try one. I bought this from Sephora for $18.00. I was my hair every other day, and this does the same job, but leaves my hair healthier!

Product # 5

Korres Natural Mango Butter Lip Stick
So I received this lipstick in a Valentines lip gloss kit that I bought from Sephora. (Look at my previous post for it) Now I am not one for wearing lip stick, I guess because I am kind of shy, and I feel it draws attention, BUT this lip stick is great! I goes on super smooth and is a tad shiny. It left my lips feeling moisturized and the color lasted for mos of the day. The one I have it Pink 14. Singly they go for $18.00, but If you find it in a kit, go for it! Well worth it!

MAC Cream Cup & MAC Dazzleglass Rags to Riches

I was watching a video by filthygorgeousmakeup (who is beyond stunning by the way) and became  obsessed with the color she was wearing on her lips. ( Link to the video with the glosses ) I of course ran out and got both of the products she used in that video which were the MAC Cream Cup lipstick and MAC Dazzleglass in Rags to Riches. I do have to say they looked way better on her but over all I am pretty pleased with them. I think they look great worn alone and also great a beautiful combo when worn together.

MAC Cream Cup lipstick

I really am loving the Cream Cup lipstick. It's such a beautiful, light, feminine pink. It's a very light "barbie" pink color with blue undertones.It's more cool toned and I usually like warm tones but it's so pretty that I'm willing over look that minor detail.  It's very wearable and so creamy in texture. I've heard people compare this to MAC Angel but with a tiny bit of shimmer. Perfect.

MAC Dazzleglass in Rags to Riches

This was my first time trying a Dazzleglass... I always stayed away from them because everyone said that they are so sticky...which they are but they aren't as sticky as I predicted. I've felt worse. I honestly really like this gloss. Worn alone it's quite sheer with a hint of pinkish lilac and a whole lot of silver, gold and purple tiny sparkles. I personally don't think it's too over board in the sparkle dept but it may not be everyones cup of tea. The texture is nice, smooth but yes sticky. I think this color looks amazing paired with a lipstick and specifically the MAC Cream Cup lipstick.

So, over all I am so pleased with this combo however I don't think this is really a winter combo... I think it will look better in the summer and preferably with tan. I think I can pull this color combo off but barely.... it cames close to washing me out and making me look like an old lady who wore the baby pink lipstick but I haven't crossed that line yet and I think I can pull it off.... at least I think I can. Doesn't matter... I like it.... and that's all that matters. If the shoe fits wear it....
