Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink Lipsticks

I tried these lipsticks a while ago and I did recently de-clutter them all (April). I thought I would still share the swatches with you for reference. I only de-cluttered them because I didn’t use them, not because I didn’t like them.
Poet (60) - soft beige pink
Seductress (65) - dusty beige rose
Amazonian (70) - rich caramel brown
Fighter (75) - rich gingerbread brown
Self-Starter (130) - muted smoky peach
Ground-Breaker (117) - dark orange red
Lover (15) - dusty rose
Ruler (80) - marsala red
Voyager (50) - cool toned wine red
Heroine (25) - bright scarlet red
Creator (35) - bright violet
Believer (40) - dark eggplant purple

These matte liquid lipsticks are mean’t to be long lasting and stay on for twelve hours. They should also have intense colour pay-off and be non-drying to the lips. The arrow shaped applicator is mean’t to make it easy and more precise to apply the product to your lips. You can purchase them for £9.99 each from Boots, Superdrug, FeelUnique.com, Target and Ulta.
My First Impressions
They are kind of sticky/tacky when you first apply them, but they do dry down, apart from in the corners of your mouth. It does seem to take a while for them to dry down though. The dark colours are longer lasting than the lighter shades. They do last for hours, longer if you do not eat or drink anything, but I didn’t get to test them for a straight twelve hours. The arrow applicator does make it easy to apply and I find that one dip of product is enough to do your whole lips; you may want to dip in again for the darker shades. I always prepare my lips with lip scrub and then apply lip balm before lipstick anyway, so that they provide a nice smooth canvas for the lipstick to glide on to. I also use lip scrub and lip balm again after I have removed liquid lipstick, I find this helps prevent my lips from feeling dry. A liquid lipstick can claim not to dry out your lips, but I find my lips always feel dry after removing liquid lipstick regardless (hence double scrub & balm - prevention is better than a cure!). Overall, they are the best drugstore liquid lipsticks I have tried so far, but they do not beat my current favourite higher end ones (Jeffree Star Cosmetics).

Lauren Luke Set of 8 Essential Brushes

I have had this brush set for close to two years now and I can’t believe that it has taken me so long to review it. This brush set is by Lauren Luke and she wanted to create brushes that she would use herself and be well made, but not too expensive. When I bought my set the shipping cost was £1.99 (UK), but it may have changed. Large Powder Brush – £6.50 This brush is supposed to be brilliant for applying foundation, bronzer, blush and highlighter. The bristles are 185mm in length and made of goat hair. This is one of my favourite brushes from the set and it is jam packed with bristles, but it is so soft!  It is the perfect size too, because the head is relatively large but the shorter handle makes it sit well. It works well for any powder product and for sweeping away fall out from eyeshadows. The bristles enable you to pick up quite a bit of product, so if you are using colour don’t be heavy handed. I do not recommend using it for cream based products as it can...

ZOEVA Rose Golden Palette

I saw this palette a while ago on a beauty blog and instantly knew I had to have it. It’s not long launched here in the UK, but it’s already a cult favourite! I just adore the packaging, everything about it! It’s made out of cardboard, but it feels sturdy and durable and it is a gorgeous kind of coffee/red velvet chocolate colour. It has a beautiful rose gold design on the front, with swirls and then a centered key. It has a magnetic closing, which is quite strong because if you hold it from the top when closed and give it a shake, the two parts don’t separate (palette doesn’t open). It has a light feel in general and inside it’s all one beautiful colour and the eyeshadows are well spaced. Around each pan is a rose gold diamond border and underneath in small rose gold letters are the shade names. On the back of the palette is the usual ingredients and other information blurbs. You get ten full size eyeshadows (0.5oz) with matte, metallic or satin finishes and each has a cute...

HUDA BEAUTY Purple Haze Obsessions Palette

I’ve previously only tried one HUDA BEAUTY mini palette before, but this one really caught my eye. I almost bought the Khaki version too. I eventually decided on only picking up the purple one as I wasn’t massively impressed with the Topaz Obsessions Palette I previously tried.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is made of translucent purple plastic and it is square shaped. It just has the palette branding across the front in place of a design and it has a clip closing, which you lift up to reveal the square eyeshadow pans arranged in threes across an opaque matte purple base. The eyeshadows do not have names. There is also a little mirror on the underside of the lid. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get nine 0.64g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME) and Shimmery Topper (ST) finishes.   ·          Smokey Shades ·          Buttery Mattes ·          Intense Metal...
