Review/Swatches L.A. Girl Cosmetics Glide Gel Liners

L.A. Girl Glide Gel Liners

The L.A. Girl Cosmetics Glide Gel Liners creamy, super long-lasting (I mean waterproof and smudgeproof once it is set) and it literally just "glides" on with no tugging. Think of the gel liner that you use in the little pot with the slanted eye liner brush but in pencil form with no brush needed.   If you have been looking for a liner to place in the waterline this is for you! Seriously, I have never been so passionate about a product.  There are very similar to the Urban Decay 24/7 Liners, IMO. Take a look at the video below for instant gratification, you will be impressed, I know it! (UPDATE: For some reason it won't let me upload the video here I took from my Iphone, head over to my instagram to view the video if you are interested to see how true  these liners stay put)

Now another great thing about these bad boy liners is the price point.  $5 for each one, you can find them here at L.A Girl Cosmetics.com.  I love finding fabulous makeup products that don't break the bank, and these liners fit right in this category.

Below are the swatches that I have, and will be purchasing the other liners to complete the collection.  I will also be doing some MOTDS with these liners so keep an eye out. Which colour do you like? My favorites are Champagne (pearly not too white liner for brightening), Very Black (true intense black), Gypsy Teal (blueish-deep aqua teal), and Royal Blue (purple blue - great for brown eyed girls).  Enjoy the swatches and I would love to know which colour is your fav!

Review/Swatches: L.A. Girl Glazed Lip Paints

L-R ->  Bombshell, Pin-Up, Coy, Hot Mess, Blushing, Babydoll

L-R ->  Bombshell, Pin-Up, Coy, Hot Mess, Blushing, Babydoll

The L.A. Girl Glazed Lip Paints are the ultimate liquid lipsticks that provide high impact color and shine.  The shades are more  on the brighter side,  creamy when applied and finishes with pure color and a light shine.  I love the minty sensation to the lip product and the opaque coverage all the colors provided.  I must say a little goes a long way, seriously.  A small tiny amount on the slanted applicator will give you enough to coat your lips for a full coverage look.  Take a look at the swatches below to find your favorite.

Thoughts:

  • For the price you can't go wrong especially since they are under $4 for each one you can easily grab a few of these
  • Shop on Drugstore.com to grab your fav.
  • My favs? I can't really pick one, I love all of them.  Natural? Go for blushing.  Summer fun? Hot Mess is a trendy shade.  Smokey eye? Babydoll will complement your look to the fullest! I love pin-up too for something different than a true red.
  • The Glazed Lip Paints did not feel stick at all, super creamy and my lips didn't feel dry at all. 

Which one do you think you are going to try?

Review: Makeup Organizers byAlegory

byalegorymakeuporganizers

 

Being a makeup junkie my makeup is EVERYWHERE, seriously, it takes about a quarter of our 800 sq. ft. codo.  But hey, what am I supposed to do? I love makeup! As a junkie I am always organizing and cleaning my collection as I do this I am always on the lookout on products that would make everything look clean and neat.  If you want to see how I store all my makeup click here.

I love these acrylic makeup organizers from Byalegory, they come in a variety of styles and colors. The organizers are very sturdy and very well built.  It will surely protect your valuable products.  I chose the lipstick, lipgloss and compact clear organizers (i like the clear so I can see what I have and it matches with the existing organizers in my makeup armoire).

Lipstick Organizer  - I filled mine with all MAC Lipsticks including the ones in the black bullets and limited edition ones (I LOVE LIMITED EDITION PACKAGING!).

  • 24 slots to hold the lipstick
  • will fit any size of lipstick.   Even room for bigger lippies if you have fatter tubes.
  • Tube stands firmly in the allocated square.
  • Each single lipstick holder is about 1 in. x 1 in.

Compact Organizer - Filled with MAC Mineralize Skinfinishes and limited edition products colour face products.

  • Will hold 8 compacts
  • I love how these organizers hold the compacts.  You can see the top of the compact for the name/brand/ still in between the compacts
  • single compact slot is 3" in. x 1.5" in

Lipgloss Organizer - Filled with Revlon Colorburst Matte and Lacquer Balms along with  Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains. I have reviews on all these products, just click the links. I am so happy I ordered this organizer because it fits the Revlon Balms and Stains perfectly! I have pratically all the shades stored in a ziplock bag so this was nice to have to organize all of them. I think I need 2 more of these for my favorite lip glosses to have a new home.

  • Will fit any size lipgloss from short (MAC Lipglass) to tall (Nars Glosses and Pencil type glosses)
  • single gloss slot about 2.75 "in. x 1" in.
  • 24 slots to house your glosses

Review/Swatches Colour Pop Cosmetics Super Shock Shadow

, , , , , ,

Colour Pop Cosmetics

is seriously bad ass, seriously.  If you LOVE  glittery, creamy and pigmented shadows I just found your new soul mate!  I usually find all my beauty finds on Instagram. C'mon don't tell me you don't sit in bed browsing through your feed because you can't sleep.  For some reason I feel like it's happening to me more and more every night.  I am such a sucker for glittery/mettalic things that when I first saw these white pots I just had to have them (and I know after this post you will too!).

 The shadow is just not your average powder shadow it's like a hybrid of a cream and powder put together in one for a super shimmery pot of goodness. The pigmentation and color pay-off is top notch!  The design imprinted on the shadow goes away but the shimmer/glitter/metallic  does not! Oh and did I mention they are only $5!!! YES! I went crazy and bought a few and then bought a few more.  I'm typing away and I feel like I need to finish my collection.

If you are like me - loves to shop online but hate to wait for the package to get in your hands don't you worry! The shipping was super quick and get this ... free shipping over $30 ... let me break it down that's 6 little Colour Pop Super Shock Shadows!! Let me give you a tour of my Colour Pop Cosmetics collection.

When you open your box you will find your shadows packed away nicely.  

Don't you just love the box?

I really felt special when I saw the handwritten note from the Colour Pop team. Such a great touch to acknowledge their customers. Bonus points to them!

Here are swatches from my first purchase mostly neutral tones, my 2nd purchase has the brighter colors. I just want to collect all of them, I know you will want to too! Take a look at my swatches you won't be disappointed.  The descriptions of the shades are taken directly from the

 I wanted to show you the before and and after once the pretty top layer goes away.  You are still left with the shimmery/metallic/glittery goodness.

**APPLICATION TIP! I took their tip and I used my fingers to apply the shadows, it works perfectly! Don't forget to screw the cap tightly when you are not using them so they don't dry out.

MOTD: Full Airbrush Look w/ Belletto Studio

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I am addicted to airbrushing!   I created this look with the

Belletto Studio

Airbrush System from the face, eyes and lips. Yes, can you believe it?! The only thing I added was a pencil for my waterline, mascara, false  eyelashes and of course my brows (but you can also airbrush your brows too!). I personally love it because it feels super light and does not look cakey because of its natural finish it creates.  You literally can do any makeup with your airbrush, and it will last all day. YES, no need for touch-ups and it's super easy to do apply on yourself. More airbrush looks to come and a review of the system including the colors.

Here is the recipe to create this look.
