Dose of Colors Liquid Matte Lipsticks in Old Flame & Camp Fire

I decided to buy these and give them ago after hearing good things about them online, there is also a great shade selection. My current favourite lipsticks are the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipsticks and I wanted to see how these DOC ones would compare.
Old Flame - warm rusty orange
Camp Fire - burnt sienna
These creamy matte liquid lipsticks are mean’t to be rich in colour, long wearing and dry down to a velvety, comfortable and matte finish. You should exfoliate your lips prior to application and avoid consuming oily/greasy foods once applied. You can purchase them for £18.00 ($18.00) each from DoseofColors.com and BeautyBay.com. They are also cruelty-free and vegan.
My First Impressions
The packaging is like the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipsticks and the actual formula of the DOC liquid lipsticks kind of reminds me of the JSC ones too. The formula is more of a cream rather than liquid, unlike the JSC’s ones. The formula comes out kind of thick on the applicator (a little messy), but it is easy to apply to the lips and I only really needed the one coat. The Camp Fire shade does smell really strong. I’m not sure if it is mean’t to smell like that because Old Flame has a floral cosmetic sort of scent and Camp Fire doesn’t smell like that. The scent has put me off that shade a little. Both shades are stunning, but I do lean more towards Old Flame as it is not as much as a statement colour for me and it doesn’t smell bad. They don’t take too long to dry and they do completely dry down matte. You can’t really feel that you are wearing them. I’m not sure how long wearing they are exactly as I am yet to test that, but I did wear Old Flame for a couple of hours before taking it off and it still looked great. It was a little hard to remove using just water and a face cloth. I think I still prefer the JSC liquid lipsticks as they are more on the liquid side, but I would consider purchasing more shades in the DOC ones.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil

I received this product as part of the Oz: The Great and Powerful Theodora Palette, which also includes a lipgloss crayon. I am going to review this product as a whole, even though I only have it in one shade. This looks like a standard eyeliner pencil, but the design is a lot nicer looking. The majority of them have the silver lid, but I have noticed that a couple of the shades have a different colour lid. Each barrel of each pencil is a different colour, to clearly show the colour of each shade. Zero is a soft black shade and it is not the darkest black Urban Decay do. This shade is part of the regular line and mine is the 0.8g sample size, the full sized product is 1.2g. Like the majority of pencil eyeliners, you have to sharpen it to dispense more product and the formula is smooth and creamy. This eyeliner is supposed to be creamy, long lasting, waterproof, highly pigmented and velvety soft. It is also said to contain moisturising ingredients, which makes it very safe f...

Benefit Cheek Stars Reunion Tour Palette

I’ve wanted to try the highlighter Cookie from Benefit for ages, but always decided against purchasing a single of it as I always declutter the single boxed powders by Benefit, so I didn’t want to waste money again. Also, I have far too many single highlighters (OFRA ♥) as it is! I kept seeing Beauty Influencers on YouTube use this palette, so I decided to purchase it for myself. You get five full sized powders inside a cute compact palette. You also get a free face brush which also fits inside the palette and a Tips & Tricks Card. You can purchase it for £53.50 ($60.00) from BenefitCosmetics.com.

Too Faced Just Peachy Mattes Palette

I believe this palette has been out for a few years now. I had seen it online before, but Too Faced products were not readily accessible to me at the time. I could only purchase them from LookFantastic.com and CultBeauty.co.uk. They didn’t stock the full range of TF products and it can take them a long time to get some of the products in. They tend to offer the main releases, but I guess this palette wasn’t considered a main release! The colour story attracts me, but I am not generally a fan of all matte palettes, so I almost gave this one a miss.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is small and compact; it kind of reminds me of the shape of a clutch bag. It is rectangular and made of gold plastic. It has a sort of gel covering on the front of the palette, which is raised. It also has a white, peach and pink ombre effect design on the front with a little peach image. It has a magnetic closing, which opens to reveal a small mirror and the twelve eyeshadow pans. The eyeshadow pans are arra...
