Review: City Color Cosmetics Matte Lipstick and Dual Lip Wand

Incredible matte lipsticks for $1.99??? Um, YES PLEASE!  I am always on the lookout for matte lipsticks.  It's always hard to find some out there that are not the department store prices.  There are 18 beautiful shades to choose from - the two that I have are Red and Mauve.  The lipsticks do have a fragrance, reminds me of cherry chapstick :) You can tell by the swatches that the color intensity is full impact opaque coverage. Mauve is not as bright as it looks in the swatch but look at the red such a glam color.

Dual Lip Wand

Another product that I wanted to share with all of you is the

Dual Lip Wand

in Magenta. My makeup bag is filled with lipsticks and lip glosses but now I have a 2-in-1 product a lipstick with the matching lip gloss.  No more loose lipsticks and lip glosses! The lipstick portion is a smooth light gloss finish very similar to a lustre finish from MAC.  It is not as opaque as the Matte Pipsticks but gives good long lasting coverage.  This lipstick, just like the Matte Lipsticks has a Cherry Chapstick fragrance.  The gloss portion is very sheer  and complements the lipstick very well.  You will find 12 different shades to wear with different looks.

Review: City Color Cosmetics Intense Blush Quad Collection 1

  The

City Color Cosmetics Intense Blush Quad Collection 1

is AMAZING! WOW! I have never found a blush palette like this that is affordable for everyone.  The colors are so vibrant and they stay on the skin very well.  With these bright colors I like to apply them with a fan brush so it just lightly sweeps the color on the apples of the cheeks.  In the palette you will get different shades of pink from bright hot pink to a lighter girly pink. Did I mention the blushes are all MATTE? YES! MATTE! YAY!  My favorite shade is the 3rd shade it's more of a mauve pink that can go with any look you are trying to achieve. I am very pleased with this palette and really want to get the other set -

Collection 2 

which features peachy/orange/coral shades.  If you are looking for matte blushes with high pigmentation at an affordable price then this is for you!

Look at the colors!! I didn't even use a primer!

Speaking of primer ... 

City Color Cosmetics does have a great foundation primer.  I used it for the first time to create a look for the next Makeup of The Day and it left my face matte and shine free in my pictures.  I was very impressed! At first it was a little hard to squeeze out of the tube but once you apply it the product just glides on the face.  This paraben-free primer does not feel heavy on the skin (in my opinion) and I like how soft it feels.  I instantly noticed that my pores were not as noticeable and how smooth my skin looked even after I applied my foundation. 

 Take a look how great my foundation looks! Totally matte no shine! This was a look that I created for one of my MOTD's I will post more pictures and product listing later this week.  It is all City Color Cosmetics!
