Maybelline Great Lash Colored Mascara

I came across these at my local drugstore. They were buy 1, get 1 half off so I took advantage of the sale and grabbed them all. The mascara comes in 6 shades. Green With Envy, Wink Of Pink, Vision In Violet, Teal Appeal, So Very Berry and I See Blue. I have dark lashes so I was afraid the colors wouldn’t show up. I was mostly wrong. The colors actually work well on my lashes, with the exception of Vision of Violet. I wasn’t able to see much of its color once applied. If you’re interested in purchasing, you should as soon as possible as they are limited edition and only available for the month of August.

MAC Retro Matte

This new collection was released online September 3rd and will be in stores September 12th. MAC says the collection is inspired by the popularity of one of its cult favorites, Ruby Woo, which was re-released with the collection. There is a total 8 lipsticks and 8 lip pencils. I purchased 4 of each. There’s conflicting information as to the permanence of the products, but from what I can tell, everything is permanent except for three of the lipsticks; Fixed On Drama, Steady Going and Runway Hit.

I greatly appreciate matte lip colors and Ruby Woo has been one of my favorites for years. So it’s easy to see why news of this collection piqued my interest. I don’t usually like to order things sight unseen, but I took a chance as I didn’t want to miss out on anything in the instance that they all sold out. With all said, I’m happy with the items I purchased, with the exception of Relentlessly Red and All Fired Up. Relentlessly Red is like a coral toned deep pink and All Fired Up is like a pink toned red. While both colors are beautiful, on my skin tone, they look nearly identical. I’m somewhere in between a 7.0 and a 7.5 in MAC Matchmaster Foundation for reference purposes.

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Anime

When they say a little goes a long way, it’s the absolute truth. You only need the smallest amount to cover your lips entirely. Once it dries, it’s very matte. OCC sells a clear version as well, which can be applied to add shine after the color dries. The Lip Tar is definitely an innovative product and it comes in a multitude of colors, so you’re never short on options. The one issue I have with it is its shelf life. I have never been able to use an entire tube before it went bad. Its shelf life seems to be about 12-18 months.

Bite Beauty Cashmere Lip Cream – Sherry And Port

Bite Beauty Cashmere Lip Cream is described as a cream-to-powder matte lip color that delivers an unprecedented 50 percent pigment dispersion. The colors are intense, the formula is like velvet, and it feels buttery soft on the lips. The formula is matte but not drying.

As I’ve stated previously, I love bold lip color. Bite Beauty, as usual, rises to the occasion with beautiful, pigmented, opaque color. Once dry, you’re left with long lasting color.

It comes with a doe foot applicator, which took me some time to get used to. I like to apply it with a lip brush in general, but if I’m in a rush, which is often, I just use the applicator.
