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).

Charlotte Tilbury Bejewelled Eyes To Hypnotise Instant Eye Palette

I originally wanted to purchase this palette last year as I already had the Charlotte Tilbury Stars-In-Your-Eyes Palette, which is the same concept as this one but had a more neutral and bright sultry colour story. I actually ended up decluttering that palette, so I decided not to purchase this one just in case I ended up doing the same thing. A few days ago I was watching one of Angelika Oles videos on YouTube and she mentioned this palette and did a tutorial using it. I instantly changed my mind and set about purchasing the palette. It is limited edition and I believe it was released back in September 2020 so it was hard to find, I also didn’t really want to pay full price for it. I did a search on Depop and came across a reputable seller who was selling one brand new in packaging, so I snapped it up and here it is! THE PACKAGING The packaging is made of glittery silver plastic and it has a long, thin and rectangular shape. It has a silver starburst design across the front. I believe...

LOOKFANTASTIC BEAUTY BOX #2 - June 2020

I decided to re-subscribe to the LookFantastic Beauty Box and I pre-ordered my June box on 22 nd May. It arrived yesterday (3 rd June) and I couldn’t wait to unbox it. My first and last LF Beauty Box was September 2014; I can’t believe it has nearly been six years! I initially un-subscribed due to the price (£15.00) and I mostly received skin care items and at the time, I was only really interested in make-up. I already saw a sneak peek for the June box (Staycation Edition), which is why I re-subscribed (the May box was sold out anyway). It was to supposed to be worth over £61.00 and the items would arrive in a travel bag. I knew I would receive a shower gel and possibly a hair brush as they were pictured. The postage for Look Fantastic is usually £2.95, but I believe it is free for Beauty Box subscriptions only. Here is what I received:- LookFantastic Beauty Bag | £12.00 | This is a cute aqua blue zipped travel bag, which contains the rest of the beauty products. ...

Serial Sampler #34

I’ve had this sample for a while now and I’ve only just decided to test it. I also have another sample of a spin-off scent from the same fragrance line, which I will post soon.   It is Candy by PRADA and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ Prada Candy combines exceptionally high-quality ingredients in excessive proportions. Magnified by musks, noble benzoin comes together with a modern caramel accord to give the fragrance a truly unique signature ” Launched: 2011   Type: Oriental Vanilla Notes Top: Caramel. Middle: Musk and Powder. Base: Benzoin and Vanilla. I wasn’t expecting to like this fragrance when I looked at the notes and I was right! It smells kind of woody (burnt wood) and like celery. It is most definitely a spicy oriental scent and it is not me at all. It is quite strong, but it isn’t overpowering. I would say it is a unisex scent as it isn’t sweet. With a name like Candy, I was expecting some sweetness. There is the Caramel note whi...
