Bobbi Brown High Shimmer Lip Gloss in Electric Violet Review

Bobbi Brown High Shimmer Lip Gloss in Electric Violet

Bobbi Brown High Shimmer Lip Gloss in Electric Violet is described as a "pink with violet pearl." The color looks strong in the tube, but it goes on sheer on the lips. The violet shimmer is finely milled and not overpowering. This lip gloss has a faint peppermint scent. The formula is very glossy and slightly sticky. It stayed on for about 4 hours without feeling uncomfortable. For the price, I wish this lip gloss had a better color payoff.

Laura Mercier Crème Eye Liner in Espresso Review

laura mercier crème eye liner in espresso

I recently purchased the Laura Mercier Crème Eye Liner in Espresso. According to the description, this product is supposed to be water-proof, crease-proof, 8 hour long-wear, smudge and transfer resistant. The color is a dark brown with a semi-matte finish. The texture of this eye liner is extremely creamy and the color pigmentation is really good. I was not very happy with this eyeliner the first time I tried it on. The texture is very creamy and it took longer than most gel eyeliners to set. After wearing for about one hour, this eyeliner started to smudge even with an eyeshadow primer underneath it. I had better luck the second time I tried it. Once I put on, it took less time to set and lasted more than 8 hours. I also tested it on my waterline, but it smudged throughout the day. I like the color and texture, but I'm not crazy about the performance and variability of the wear.

MAC Neon Orange Lipstick Review

MAC Neon Orange Lipstick 

As the name implies, MAC Neon Orange is a bright orange lipstick. This shade of orange might look intimidating in the tube, but I found it very wearable. The pigmentation is excellent. The formula feels creamy and moisturizing. I wore it for more than 4 hours without my lips feeling dried. This lipstick stained my lips and I had to use makeup remover to get rid of the remaining color. Overall, I am very happy with this lipstick's color and performance.

Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Color in Bikini Pink

Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Color in Bikini Pink is one of  my favorite pink lipsticks to wear. The shade is described as "a soft white pink." The color is intense but not overpowering. The formula is creamy, lightweight, and highly pigmented. It lasts a little over 4 hours on my lips without feeling dry. This lipstick also has an SPF of 12.

Estée Lauder Pure Color Vivid Shine Lipstick in Brilliant Bare Review

Estée Lauder Pure Color Vivid Shine Lipstick in Brilliant Bare

Brilliant Bare is a limited edition Pure Color Vivid Shine Lipstick from Estée Lauder. The shade as peachy nude with a moderate amount of fine shimmer. The coverage is light-to-medium. The formula is creamy and lasted 4 hours on my lips. I like the color of this lipstick, but I found it difficult to wear. The pale shade accentuated the dryness of my lips in a non-attractive way. My advice is to gently exfoliate the lips prior application.

Make Up For Ever Glitters #4 Review

Make Up For Ever Glitters #4

The color of Make Up For Ever Glitters #4 is opalescent white with a violet reflection. When viewed inside the container, the product appears white, but when viewed in a thin layer the color's reflection becomes ultraviolet. These glitters are finer than I expected and can be used on the face or body. I tried to apply it dry over an eyeshadow base, but the product did not stick to my eyelids. So, I was bummed out. On my next attempt, I used MAC Mixing Medium and it worked!. I dampened my brush slightly and dipped in to the glitter, then patted it on my eyelids. With a damp brush, I had very little fall-out and it lasted a long time. The color is beautiful and the price is right for the amount of product you get.   

Rouge Dior Lipcolor in 638 Blazing Red Review

Rouge Dior Lipcolor in 638 Blazing Red

Rouge Dior Lipcolor in 638 Blazing Red is a vibrant red orange lipstick with a satin finish and no visible shimmer. The color is strong and might not appeal to everyone. The formula is creamy, long-wearing, and hydrating. The lipstick also has a strong floral scent. Both the color and the fragrance wear for a long time. In my case, I wore it for about 5 hours, but ended up with a mild headache due to the strong scent. After the lipstick wore off, my lips remained stained and I had to use makeup remover to get rid of the color. My two complaints for this product are: the high-price and the scent.
