Posietint Review

Hello Blogettes,

Its review time! I know I keep talking about Springtime, but I am just so happy that it is finally here. I had the worst case of winter blues this year so spring is wonderful when it comes.

Review:

Claims:"This kiss of see-through poppy-pink tint brightens cheeks and lips. A Liqui-gel formula blends to just-picked perfection on all complexions and lasts for hours."-Benefit.com Texture: Liquid and smooth for the most part, a little sticky.

Blendibilty: This product has to be blended-out fast or else it will stain in the dot where it was placed. Can be blended out with a finger.

Smell: Chemically.

Lasting power: I usually wear this on my face for 8-10 hours with running and it stays on pretty well. Alone I would say more of 8 hours, and with a setting powder or blush over top it will stay on a good 10 hours.

Other comments: This product is my favorite two-in-one product. It looks stunning on lips and cheeks. On lips it can be a tad drying but something some good lip balm won't solve. My only real disadvantage is that it dries and stains so fast. I would recommend blending on one cheek before applying to the other.

Overall repurchase:Yes

Overall Rating:3/5

New Hard Candy Products

Hey Blogettes!

This past weekend I traveled to Walmart and found that Hard Candy had some realyl nice looking new products out. The first thing that really cuaght my eye was Fox In A Box. They remind me alot of Benefits boxed blushes. None of the colors off hand looked like they could be a Benefit dupe, but I am really curious to try them out. The box's vary from being duos to quads of blush and bronzers. Currently thier are 5 Fox In A Box combinations.

The next new products I found were Sheer Envy Primers. These primers are the things I am most excited to try out. Hard Candy was 3 differant primers-A basic primer, a illuminating primer, and a skin perfecting primer. Anthor face products they Hard Candy added is Undercover Agent. Undercover Agent,which I love the name of, is described as aundereye brightner and concealer duo. I have read a couple of reviews on this sa far and it seems to have gotten mixed rates. But like most products it it really up to that person. The last new products featured at my Walmart were Sequin Saturated Shine Lip Gloss. These look gorgous! They feature 8 differant color lipglosses in the Sequin Saturated Shine line. The color Lush is my favorite from thier line.

After my project pan I plan on picking up a couple of these products to try and and I will deffiently do reviews and comparisons on them. After visting HardCandy.com I found they have a couple other new products released. Hard Candy is deffiently a brand to check out it is avaviable by you.

N.Y.C. Lipstick Review

Hello Blogettes,
I have been meaning to review these lipsticks for awhile now. Two years ago the color "Chiffon" was really popular by the brand New York Color. I really love this brand for their prices and the quality of their products. Here is my review on their lipsticks.

Review:

Claims: Ultra Moist Lipstick:Kissable shine with Vitamin E conditioning. Make your lips stand out with New York Color Ultra Moist Lip Wear. A moisturizing lipstick in the trendiest high-shine colors that nourish and soothe your lips.-New York Color
Ultra Last Lipstick:Super-charged color. Glide-on, stay-on lipstick! New York Color Ultra Last Lip Wear gives you incredible color with real staying power. Beautiful high-fashion shades give you the most luscious, kissable lips ever. -New York Color
Texture: A tad drying, perfect with a lip balm base. Goes on a little tacky.

Blendabilty: It is hard to blend out this lipstick. Possibly due to texture.
Smell:Plastic.
Lasting Power:The ultra moist lipsticks stay on up to an hour while the ultra last lipsticks stay on up to 3. This is however without food or drink. I would cut back about 30minutes on the ultra moist with food and drink, and a hour on the ultra last.
Other comments: The colors are very build able and stay on good for their price. I believe that the moistness varies throughout. Out of the ones I have retro red is the most dry but it is also the only matte one I have from it does chip and break easily. The color selection is great. You can deffiently find the colors you want and try them out to findif they are the right shade for you.
Overall: I really do enjoy the products that N.Y.C. produces. Even though these lipsticks are not as creamy or moisturizing as other lipsticks I would recommend them especially
for people just starting out with makeup.
Repurchase?:Yes

Fire&Ice

Hey Blogettes,

Today is Super Bowl Sunday!! I am actually not a big football person, but my whole family loves the Steelers so why not attempt to get into the game. While shopping over Christmas break, I found Revlon's Vintage collection at Target. Everything was pretty much in the permanent line but The Revlon Fire and Ice Lipstick really caught my attention, Mostly because of the stunning packaging. It honestly reminds me of something my grandma had when I was 2.

I actually have a old Revlon makeup book and found the old 1952 ad for it. The lipstick was brought back for Revlon's 75th anniversary. The packaging is limited edition but the color has been re added as a Super Lustrous Lipsticks. Besides the lovely packaging the color caught me too. The color shows up a red with orange undertone. It looks absolutely stunning and goes on extremely smooth. I have a couple other Revlon lipsticks but this one is hands down my favorite. Revlon also added 3 others shades including Siren, Temprress, and Demure. Demure is next on my list to get.

Stila Topez Liner Review

Hello Blogettes,

After my last trip to Sephora I picked up something that was on my wish list list for quite some time, but never could manage to buy... and that item is Stila Kajal Liner in Topez. I have seen so many swatches and reviews on it and I had to try it out because it looked so much more natural then white liner for widening the eyes.

Review:
Claims:"Kajal eye liners are formulated to mimic the ultra-soft texture of the indian eye darkener of the same name.
The luscious formula is silky smooth and glides on perfectly, without dragging across the most fragile skin around the eye area. Delivers bold, clear, true color that blends easily and beautifies. "-Stila.com
Texture: Extremely creamy, almost to fault. Glides on very easy with no tugs.

Blendabilty: Can easily be blended just by the swipe of a pinkie.

Smell: Slight crayon scent.

Lasting Power: This is were I was disappointed. The longest the true color stayed on was up to 3 hours max when applied to waterline. After 3 hours it faded alot. I used a peachy pink shadow to set and it stayed on up to 4 hours on my waterline with the true color. After 4hours the same fading happened but it more noticeable. The shadow actually stayed on longer then the pencil.

Other comments: I plan on trying out a brown for my upper lash line and hope that it will work better because as said it is such a lovely and creamy liner. The packaging on them is very cute with its floral-ish/paisley pattern. The true color is a described as a "nude-peach" which is accurate. Depending on skin tone and the redness of and around eyes are big factors when deciding to buy.
Overall: The product really worked with my skin tone and made my eyes brighter with less notice-abilty of a white liner. It is one of the creamiest eyeliners I have ever used. However the staying power is just not there. For $18 I would prefer to my NYX white liner.

Repurchase?: Maybe.

E.L.F. Brightening Eye Colors Review.

Hello all you lovely readers!
Today I have a review on the E.l.F. Brightening Eye Shadow pallets. These are the ones that are only$1. The easiest place to purchase them would definitely have to be their website. However in the states they are are available at some Kmart's and Dollar stores. At this point in time they have 18 different pallets. I have 3 of them in Butternut, Silver Lining, and Nouveau Neutrals(not pictured). The last pallet I have not opened yet. If you wish to see swacthed of that one to, just request it and Ill have it up. Now on with it.

Review:
Claims: "Luxuriously smooth, corn silk formula provides eyes with a neutral base and an awakened brightness. The formula blends into skin for a long lasting, beautiful effect. The 4 color quad allows for both natural and dramatic looks. Mirror in compact included."-eyeslipsface.com Texture: Smooth and Silky.
Blendabilty: Very easy to blend. However the texture of it does cause it to fad sometime in the blending process. Blending will most likely cause fallout.
Smell: Unscented
Lasting Power: I tend to get different results depending on what kind of base I use and what other shadows I use along with them. Without a base/primer or with a cheaper base/primer they tend to fade after about four hours. The color is still somewhat noticeable but mostly faded. With a good base/primer they have lasted me up to nine to ten hours with just little to no fading.
Other comments: The colors per palette are made to work with each other, making it easy to create your whole eyeshadow look with just one little palette. The small size of it makes it easy to travel with but does however make it somewhat hard to get all of the product out. Each pallet comes with a little mini brush which again is helpful for travel, and it nice for touch ups. It does come with a very small mini mirror where the brush sits, although it is small you can see both your eyes in it for when applying the eye shadows.
Overall: I would recommend this product. For only $1 it is defiantly a drugstore steal. It comes a such a variety of shades that makes it so easy for people to find which pallet will suit them best.
Repurchase?: YES!

Top:Silver Lining Bottom: Butternut-Both without a Base.

St.Ives Review

Hello Lovies, So today I thought I would do my review on the two St. Ives products that I own. St. Ives is
discussed alot in the You-tube beauty community. It seems like it is either a hit oo miss for most people.St.Ives is a brand that specializes in skin care. I purchased two of their products, one of which always has a extreme hype about it.The first product is the St.Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub. If you refer to My Skin post, you would know that I have combination to dry skin. My skin is also pretty tough/thick,
and not very sensitive.
Texture: Quite gritty.
Claims:Exfoliates to reveal smooth,radiant skin
Feels: A tad rough not irritating on my skin however.
Smell:Apricot
Overall:It does live up to its claim. My skin feels very refreshed and smooth after. I use this scrub with a exfoliator brush and rotate it in a circular motion.
I know quite a few people dislike this product because it irritates their skin, but on mine it works very
well. I love using it after a long run or a hot day.
Repurchase?:Yes


The second product that I purchased was the St. Ives Naturally Clear Green Tea Scrub.
Texture: Gritty yet smooth.
Claims:Clears breakouts and reduces redness Salicylic Acid Acne Medication With 100% Natural Green Tea
Feels: Smooth and refreshing.
Smell:Green tea
Overall: The product is very nice and refreshing. I used this product by messaging it into my skin in a circular motion. It did reduce redness but I did not notice a change in my breakouts. My breakouts still seemed to stay around theaverage amount of time.
Repurchase?: Maybe


Hope you enjoy!
