Blogmas #7 | Benefit Ultra Plush Lipgloss in Dandelion

I got this lipgloss in the Benefit Luv It Up! Gift Set and it is sample sized. It is the first lip product I have tried from Benefit and I am not actually keen on lipgloss in the first place.
I have the sample size so the packaging is the same as the full sized ones, just smaller. It is a pink plastic squeeze tube with the Dandelion graphic and typography on the front. It has a silver cap and when you twist it off, it reveals a slanted applicator with a small hole to allow the gloss to dispense when squeezed. Because the applicator is slightly slanted, it should make it easier to apply. The formula looks quite thick when first dispensed, but when it has been blended it looks very thin and feels smooth. It also has a slight floral scent. You get 6.5ml in the sample size, but full size is 15ml. Dandelion is a soft pearly pink shade and it is inspired by Dandelion the boxed powder (blush).
This product is mean’t to glide onto your lips really smooth and feel silky and luxurious. And the soft-squeeze tubes should enable easier and more even application.

It is not a bad lipgloss! The shade is really nice and natural and the formula is silky smooth and glossy. It glides onto your lips really well and it makes them feel luxurious. It is also very easy to dispense and the slanted applicator does allow for a more even application. It is not sticky at all and it can last up to two hours on your lips without refreshments. The only thing that I’m not keen on is the lack of pigmentation, but the blush version is a light shade anyway and a couple of the other shades I’ve seen (Coralista) look amazing when swatched. If I got a brighter colour, the pigmentation would have been more.

Overall it is a great lipgloss and more like the type of lipgloss that would interest me. I am still not convinced over liquid lipgloss, but this is a step in the right direction. I would not purchase it myself because I don’t think I would get much use out of it. But now I have it, I am likely to use it a bit because it is great.

Colourpop Limoncello Palette

I first saw the tease of this palette on Trendmood’s Instagram and it instantly attracted me. I love the packaging and colour story, it just reminds me of summer. The design on the palette would also make a lovely and classy wallpaper pattern. This palette is part of the Limoncello Collection. THE PACKAGING The packaging is made out of cardboard, which is wrapped with a white, blue and yellow flowery and lemon design. The palette name and branding is printed in gold and the shade names are printed on the back of the palette. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. The circle eyeshadow pans are arranged on a pale yellow, lemon skin textured base with the shade names printed above them at an angle in blue font. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid. The mirror is inside a yellow cardboard base and it has a corner flower and lemon design on it. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get twelve 1g eyeshadows in Matte (M) and Metallic (ME) f...

Blogmas #2 | Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains

When I first heard of these I knew they would be perfect for me. I played it safe with the first shade I bought and knew I would eventually and gradually work my way through the colours to try to be more comfortable with brighter colours with a more understated and low maintenance finish. The packaging is a chubby crayon with a plastic barrel and each barrel is a different colour, which corresponds to the product shade. It has a silver band around the base of the barrel, which you have to turn to dispense the crayon and the plastic cap of the crayon matches the colour of each barrel. When you twist the band to dispense the product, you can see 3.3cm of the actual crayon, but there could be more hiding in the tube and you would just have to use up what you can see to find out for sure. The formula is light and glossy and it has a slight minty scent. I have two shades called, Honey (001) , which is a warm dusty rose with shine and Cherish (015) , which is a bright pale pin...

Jeffree Star Cosmetics: Summer Chrome Collection 2017

I have decided to do a sort of swatch post today, but I have included a little more information than I usually would for a simple swatch post. Jeffree Star Cosmetics recently came out with a new Summer Chrome Collection of products and I decided I wanted to purchase something, but wasn’t quite sure what at first. The whole collection includes; 8 Velour Liquid Lipsticks, 3 Velour Lip Scrubs, 5 Lip Ammunitions™, 2 Skin Frosts™ and various lip gift sets. I decided to pick up two items from the collection, both are lip products. I got a Velour Liquid Lipstick in Calabasas , which was £16.00 for 5.4ml. I also got a Lip Ammunition™ in Birthday Suit , which was £16.00 for 3.4g. CALABASAS - matte rosy red BIRTHDAY SUIT - satin soft rose nude I wasn’t too sure if the liquid lipstick would suit me, but it actually looks lovely. I love the colour and it is perfect after one application (the wand tickles my lips a little). It dries down and it is long wearing, but wi...
