All Lip Products reviews and swatches!!

Now, let moves onto all of the lip products I purchased recently. First, I am sorry that I could not swatch the lip color on my lips because my lips are always dry, the picture just make them look worse. I use my hand, so hope it helps.

First: N.Y.C Liquid Lip Shine
I am so sorry, but I am not opening the one in the package which is Ice Orchid.

These lip shine is like lip glosses more than liquid lipstick, but they are great bargain finds. I love the bottle. The application is sponge tip. Bottles made of cheaper plastic, but definitely durable.

(L) Iced Orchid # 555B; (R) Dusty Rose #549

Middle is Dusty Rose (retail $1.99, sale $.50), the bottom is Wet n' Wild Pink Ice (retail $.99, sale $.65)

Pros:

Smell so yummy, like caramel vanillaish. 

Love the thick consistency, just a touch of stickiness.

Dusty Rose have coral micro glitter in it, such a lovely corally pink

Goes smoothly on lips

Very shiny on lips, a bit more on the sheer side, but still pigmented. 

Great on nude lipstick

Ok- moisturizing

Cons:

For cheap lip glosses, it is obviously not long lasting. But if you do not eat and speak a lot, then it stay on great. 

Name is not on the bottle, I totally have to fish out the outside packaging  from the trash can to find the name of it. However, they print the number on the bottle. 

Overall, I never notice these Liquid Lip Shine before, I absolutely love this product. Even for $1.99, I would definitely go back and repurchase this. 

For Wet n' Wild in Pink Ice:

Pink Ice # 528 A  (retail $.99, sale $.65)

I think this lipstick is very interesting. You can see the pic above is a very bright pink because it is taken with flash. On the packaging, the color is actually pinky nude. On the actual product, it is darker pink with a touch magenta undertone. I love it no matter what. 

Please refer to the swatches above. It is the true color. 

Pros:

Pigmented

Very shiny, not matt at all

Super soft and goes on smoothly

Consistency almost like a lip balm

Stay moisturizing and lasting for about 2-3 hour.   

Cheap

Cons:

Cheap packaging, the tube is flimsy, made with cheap plastic. 

Eventhough it is too easy to twist out the product, the cap actually lock it to prevent it from being dented by the cap. 

Not the color on the package or what we see. 

Name not on the package, why? You can print the number, but not the name? 

Overall? I love it. Not because of the price, but because of the product quality. I am looking forward to try out other colors that they have. They have great range of shade. Right now, on sale at Walgreens for $.49. 

Now, Nivea Lip Balm

(L-R) A Kiss of Milk and Honey Natural Defense and Soothing Lip care, A Kiss of Smoothness Hydrating Lip Care SPF 4, A Kiss of Flavor Strawberry Tinted Lip Care SPF 4.  0.17 oz (retail $?, sale $1)

Pros:

Excellent flavor, strawberry is yummy, the other two is just vanilla smell (honey does have a faint honey smell)

Condition your lips

Long lasting on lip and does not dry up your lips after hours

Glide on smoothly

The strawberry goes on tinted like a sheer gloss, others are just sheer

Easy to twist

Bigger than ordinary Chapstick tube

Cons:

Nothing...Does what the lip balm does

Overall, I found that I reach for this lip balm more often. I just cannot put it down. I love the strawberry one! Get these while it is on sale. I actually notice that I do not see it at all in Walgreen until this sale. Odd? May be I do not look around as much. I found two of them today at a bottom shelf in a big jar. I had to walk around the cosmetic section 2-3x to find them all. 

EOS Lip Balm

Honeysuckle Honeydew 0.25 oz (retail $3.99, sale: Free)

 

Isn't this just a little adorable thing? I just absolutely love the way they package this. It just like an egg. I have nothing for cons, so I will just describe to you the product quality. This lip balm is made with 100% natural product and 95% organic. Made with shea butter and jojoba oil. The product is hard so it seem like you are not using any product from it. It just glide on smoothly on the lips. It does not have that usual texture that you get with ordinary lip balm. It make your lips smooth, but does not have the oily texture on the lips. They have three flavors which are: Lemon Drop, Summer Fruit, and the one above. One thing I actually do not like is it kinda has to deal with sanitation. If you open up the product, all products will be expose to germ in the air and you twisting the cap back on, you are holding the bacteria in it. I am not a crazy health freak, so I'm not worry. However, it is something to be conscious about. I would love to try out the other flavors. These are just so cute. I cannot stop looking at it. At Walgreen, you can buy 3 of those flavors for $9.99.

Last but not least, Wet n' Wild New Lip Stick in Think Pink (retail $2.99, sale $1.49)

 

   

The color above is the true color of the product. The Lipstick is pink to almost pinky nude. I thought I am going to love it, but I actually surprised at the color when it goes on my lips. 

 

Pros:

Pigmented, nicely pinky nude

Goes on smoothly

Creamy

Matt finish

Long lasting

Condition your lips

Have variety of shades

Cheap for great quality

Cons:

I don't like it on my lip, it just totally make my lips pale pink (I am just not use to nude lips)

Does not look like what it offered

Name is not on the tube

Need to add gloss for glossy and less pale color. 

Overall, I like it for the quality, but the color is a disappointment. However, I can play around with different color of glosses or mix with another lipstick color. I actually like Dusty Rose on top of this. 

Sorry guys, for the very long post. I want to do all lip products and I do not want to left out any information that I know. If you guys have try this product, please add more information in the comment. Have you guys try any of these products yet? Which one do you want to get? What are you thinking?

Thanks.  

Wet n' Wild Nail Polish and Eyeliner

As I said, I will be reviewing and putting swatches of the Wet n' Wild nail polish and eyeliner. So let's start:

Wet n' Wild Wild Shine in Fireworks at Rite Aid ( retail $.99, sale $.65)

This polish is chunky golden glitter. It has not only glitter, but it also has chunky circular flecks. I think it is really pretty. I could not decide between this and Champagne. Champagne is a very pretty shade between gold and bronze, I don't know why I could not put down the gold though. I was kinda disappointed when I swatch Fireworks at home. However, I still think it is such a nice color. This is part of their limited edition Wild Shine collection. I have no idea if it will discontinue or not, however, check out your local Rite Aid to get your hands on all of the shades. I love them all, but I just need one.

3 coats

One coat on three fingers with a purple base (with flash)

2 coats with purple base (no flash) Hate it :P

Pros: 

Chunky glitter (+); (-)

Big brush

Dry fast 1-2 min

Stay on strong, long lasting

Great alone without a color base

2-3 coats are enough

Cons:

Hate chunky glitter? Then this is NOT for you. I don't really like it either. 

Very ugly looking with color base, may be a lighter base with similar shade. 

Hard to clean. 

Those flecks is semi-useless, can be ugly with 2-3 coats. 

Overall, I like it and hate it. I will probably try to avoid those flecks if I use it for nail art. But use it alone, I still think it great for some occasion. I hate chunky glitter because it take a bit more effort to clean. However, this is great. And with that price, it is too hard to resist. 

4 swipe

2 swipe

Now, onto the white eyeliner....I have been looking for a white eyeliner that are soft and long lasting, but I haven't found one until this Wet n' Wild white eyeliner pencil. Sorry for not taking the pencil picture alone, but it is just an ordinary eyeliner pencil in white. The swatches above is a little bit ugly, but it just show you the quality of it. 

Pros: 

Actually quiet soft

Pigmented

Glide on easier than others cheap liners like N.Y.C

Can stay on waterline to help make our eyes look more awake

Act as a good base eyeshadow

Highlight underneath the brow bone and inner corner of the eyes. 

Cheap (retail $.99 , sale $.65)

Cons:

Not necessarily long lasting because it not that easy to blend, the consistency is too waxy. So it just stick on 

Stay on waterline, but goes on kinda sheer

If you over blend, it will just disappear.

Cause a tiny bit of irritation if trying to blend on the waterline.

Overall, I like it better than the ones I tried before. My cousin own one from N.Y.C and it does not work on waterline. I am not that satisfied, but it is not bad. I want to find a cheap white eyeliner pencil, but I guess, it is not possible. Still on the mission to find one. I know Jordana also have white eyeliner, but I believe I swatch it once and it is not soft.   

Tell me what you think?  

L.A. Colors-Color Craze Polishes

Hi my lovely friend,

I just discovered L.A. Colors Color Craze not long ago. I heard about this from a guru, and I spotted them at my local Dollar Tree. I actually have to say that this is a hit and miss for DT shopper. You have to be persistent to watch out for these nail polishes. They can easily be out of stock. However, I do know that they have been on shelf for couple of times now.

So lets get started.....

2coats

I am so sorry for the blurry picture. This is a beautiful royal blue nail polish with a hint of shimmery. I love love love this blue. I would never think of wearing blue nail polish, but I just cannot skip this color when I see it in store.
Pros:
_Lovely blue with with iridescent effect. Not shown unless light shine on it.
_Not streaky at all.
_The length of the brush is short so there is more precision.
_Amazingly fast drying for each coat
_2 coats are pretty enough
_Long lasting with topcoat
Cons:
_So far nothing, except I find that the cap is kind bulky for easier grip on.

1coat

This silver is the first one I bought because I just need a silver polish.

Pros:

_So pretty iridescent silver, not chunky glitter

_1 coats can do the job

_Long lasting

_Dry super quick

_Not streaky at all

Cons:

_HMM?

1 coat

I super love Electrified. I am so sorry that the flash picture shown the wrong color of this polish. It is not reddish tone, this is a pinkish magenta iridescent color.

Pros:

_Not creamy formula, and not sheer either

_It just need one coat, that is all, it show the exact color on the bottle

_Dry quick

_Last long

_Not streaky

Cons:

HMM?

I truly love this product. I could not believe that L.A. Colors have such good formula for their polishes. I believe that they have a very wide range of colors for this line. They do have regular line, but I have not try them yet. The sad thing is DT does not carry that much shades. They are very limited. I should just snatch up all of the color they have, but I think I will have to gone on a hungry strike after that. hee hee. However, if you like to buy them, you can also find them at Cherry Culture.

Wet N' Wild Polishes Review

Hi my bellas,

I want to do a quick review of the great Wet N' Wild-Wild Shine Nail Color. I bought all of the Wet n' Wild nail polishes when they were on sale for just $.79 at Waggs. I could just not pass up the opportunity, I don't think there is a lot of time that you can find cheap nail polishes right?
So let's get on to the review and swatches first:

1 coat

I do not wear black polish, but I decided to just buy one for nail art. And this is crazy crazy black.

Pros: 

_Truly black

_One coats does the job

_Dry 1-2min

_No staining at all if there is a base coat

_Not streaky, the picture with flash kinda ruin it. hee hee

Cons:

_Not that long lasting (easy to notice when chip off, but pretty much for all dark polishes)

_With topcoat, it smudges. So not that ideal for nail art. Actually, I notice that with all black polishes, they tend to smudge when you apply top coat. I tried a design on my cousin, and she did not apply top coat until 8 h after and it still smudges. So it either just depend on some polishes or depend on the good topcoat.

3 coats

I love Rain Check. This is a very pretty lilac with a blueish undertone. If you apply for the 3rd coat, you will get that blueish color.

Pros: 

_Very unique, iridescent color

_Dry 1-2min

_Cheap

_Last long with topcoat

_Not streaky at all, the brush is just the right side

_Shimmery but not chunky glitter

Cons:

_Not that opaque, but not that sheer (this one cannot act as a a shimmery topcoat, can add a base to show its color)

2coats

I actually think Sunny Side Up is just a fun crazy pop of orange. I love the color, but I am not brave enough to actually wear the whole set. I bought this again for nail art only.

Pros:

_Semi creamy

_Only need 2 coats and the color just pop

_Long lasting with topcoat

_Dry 1-2min

_Cheap

_Not streaky 

Cons:

_Nothing actually, I think it does it job

2 coats

I like Sparked because I can use this for several ways (wearing it original way or doing nail art). But this is not my typical nail polishes. I hate chunky glitter nail polishes because it just take a bit more effort to clean.

Pros:

_Very fast drying

_Two coats can cover enough surface

_Evenly distribute glitter

_Obviously not streaky

_Cheap

_Long lasting, might not need top coats

_Brush is bigger

_Can use for different designs of nail

Cons:

_Hard to clean 

Overall?

My first nail polishes were Wet n' Wild, so I just loving it more. They have great quality for just a low everyday price. You can find these nail polishes in most drugstores. However, this line does not carry wide range of color, some new color are hard to find. Their color is not that unique. Although this line is just the ordinary, they also have two other lines of nail polishes that a bit more expensive, but I believe with better quality. I have not try it, so I have nothing much to say. I think for such wonderful polishes, they do not get much recognition from others. 

Tips: For easy removal of the chunky glitter, pour some polish remover in the cap, dip your fingers in it for a few minute, damp your cotton, and you will be able to remove most of the polish in one swipe.

Have you tried any of these colors? What do you think about these WnW? Do you have any recommendation? Leave a comment below

SinfulColors Nail Polishes Review

Hi my beautiful friends, 


Here is my review and swatches for SinfulColors Nail Polishes


First Up, my favorite, which is Purple Diamond. 

apply with 3 coats

(I am so sorry that the swatches does not show it true color, the pic above is the right color for this)
I love this a lot because purple is my favorite color. The moment I catch my eyes on it I totally snatch it. I could not walk away because it is so pretty. It just keep calling on me, serious I was just lingering at the section for 10 min. 
Pros: 
_ Want to warn you, this is a sheer translucent polish, can be a good or bad ( Add a white base to make the color pop, can act as a shimmering top coat, 3 coats can give out its true color as seen on bottle)
_ It is not chunky glitter, iridescent
_ Not streaky at all
_Brush is just a bit thicker and wider
_Big bottle for just a cheap price
Cons: 
_ Sheer
_Need 3-4 coats to get the true color
_I find this dry a bit slower than other SinfulColors polishes. 

2 coats

This color is not white, it is a very very light pink. Can be use as French tips if you want to, but I am not that disappointed seeing it as nearly white.  

Pros: 

_ Dry 1-2 min 

_Long lasting with a good topcoat

_Very creamy formula

_Need only 2 coats to get the true color

_Cheap find

Cons:

_I guess I might as well buy white, hahha

_Can be streaky as first, but when dried it will not 

_Need to know how to apply, can be uneven on large surfaces. (after topcoat everything even out)

2 coats

I don't know why that this color is just so mysterious. It does not appear like the color shown on the bottle. Truly, it is not because the camera change its color, this is the true color on my finger. To me, the color shown on the bottle is pink with a touch of coral. However, when applied, it turn out to be a darker baby pink. But I do love the color. 

Pros: 

_Dry 1-2 min

_Long lasting with topcoat

_Creamy formula

_Cheap with quality

_2 coats is enough

Cons:

_Not the color appear on the bottle

_Like the other one, streaky and uneven, but when dry with topcoat, it is so pretty

Overall?

I love SinfulColors, I think it is cheap, and you can definitely find it often on sale  at Waggs. I love their formula and all of their color. They provide a very great range of color, tons for you to choose from, and some color are very unique. For me, though, I just cannot pick up all of their polishes because they are bold and dark. Sometimes, I could not tell the difference between some color because it just darn too similar in shade. However, I think it is an alternative for the department store brand or some drugstores brand too.

Ps: I found out that when SinfulColors is old, they have a very stinky smell. I can stand it, but for me it just too odd.

I love to hear from you, do u like SinfulColors? Leave a comment and subscribe please

New E.L.F Haul

Hey my lovely bellas,

I recieved my order from e.l.f last week (which it was really fast) and I just cannot wait to do a quick haul for you guys. Well you guys can see that the pictures said it all. I don't have to explain each individual products except may be a bit of review of how is everything so far.

First of all, sorry but I lost the picture for Mineral Eyeshadow primer, but I am thinking of doing a review on it soon when I start using them.

Now let me start on the shipping. My order was exactly $10 and it comes in about 5 days which was really quick. All of my products are $1 each except the eye primer which is $3.

I decided to try out their new $1 lipstick in seductive and $1 shimmer eyeliner pencil in plum passion.

This is an amzing eyeliner. The brushes is strong and hard. It is very easy to apply, though take about 1-3 min to dry. Again with my folded lid I have to wait for it to dry or it will transfer and turn my eyes into a racoon. It has great staying power. Nothing beats $1 eyeliner.   

This is my gift and I love the packaging.  It so sleek and pretty. But to tell you the truth, I don't know what to use it for. I tried it as eyeliner and it look so awkward. I tried to apply it on my water line, but kinda hard to make it stay on. It make as a great base for eyeshadow though. Also it dries really fast and truly stay on your lid. I just need to figure out a way to use it properly.

I love the lipstick scent and the consistency. It goes on smoothly and it is very pigmented. However, the color appear way more darker than online. For me it was a bit bold, so a nude pigmented gloss would go well with this.

This is also very pigmented. A dark shimmery plum color which gives out very nice subtle look. But to warn you...if you have folded lids and oily lids, add a primer and either translucent powder or a shadow on top to make it stay. This does not seem to smudge that much.  

I cannot say much yet since I only use it once, though love the smell.

For $1 mascara, I think this is so awesome. Both does their job, it make my lashes look longer and bolder. The waterproof side really work. It is even hard to clean with eyemakeup remover.

I guess I don't have much to say about this eyeshadow cream because it does its job: act as a base and quite pigmented. To warn you, the dark brown is very similar to the dark cream call Butter Pecan in their collection. But the lighter side gives a very nice purplish color.

This blush (SHY) is so small I was kinda disappointed. Plus, it is really sheer. However, if you start to build up, it truly gives you that very light natural pink cheek with a bit of shimmer. However, be very light handed because it cause loose powder everywhere.

There you have it...my quick haul. If you have tried elf products, give me your opinions.

And Until next time....Good Bye...

Physician Formula Review and Swatches

Smokey Brown eyes collection (left) ; Enhanced Hazel eyes Pop collection (right)

Hey everyone,

I have been wanting to do a review of Physician Formula Shimmering Strips for a long time. These are the pictures that I took long ago when I purchased these products. So...Let's go straight into what I think about these products 

Pros:

1. Very nice and appealing packaging. The cases are very sturdy.

2. Come in great variety of sets for individual eyes color and each set have great variety of shadows.

3. You can create smokey or neutral eyelooks within one set.

4. Though all shadows seem to be shimmery, some appear to be more frosty or matte (which I like!). 

5. Available at Target or Drugstores near you. 

6. More color in one pallete, which is easier to carry around.

7. Color is easy to blend, but don't blend out too hard.

Cons:

1. A little bit expensive around $10 per pallete, but I got a coupon for BOGOFree

2. Some shadows are very pigmented, but some are not. Some are just disappear when you blend the color. 

3. I prefer the Smokey collection rather the Hazel eyes because the color appear like how it looks. 

4. Though Hazel eyes has color that can be use for everyday. (which is not really a cons)

5. Require eye primer and a base to make the color really pop.

6. I notice that these won't last that long on my lids (throughout the day) since I have oily lids and folded lids.

Overall, I like it more than I hate it. I noticed that I used them more often for work. However, I will not repurchase it even if I have the money since I feel that with cheaper products I can still get the same effect.
