Maybelline Ravishing Rose Lipstick: Limited Edition Spring 2014

Maybelline released an impressive spring collection this year. Today I am talking all about a new lipstick. The packaging is similar to the new buffs collection. It was rather pricey at my rite aid around $8. 
The shade is ravishing rose.
It is limited edition for only this season.
The color in the tube is a light but not baby pink.
It swatches a little lighter than in the tube and a little more peach than rose.

The swatch matches the swatch on my arm. It does wash me out even though I am so pale,
 it just looks a little weird so a gloss is recommended. 
  • Smells a little funky, not sure how to describe it
  • Is paler than my natural lip color so it can be hard to wear
  • Creamy formula but not slip off creamy, does get on teeth
  • Bit of a yellow undertone

Mac Fleshpot Lipstick | Review + Swatches

Image
Mac lipsticks are a classic, and for me this one is a must have. Mac has raised the prices of their lipsticks overtime, and currently cost $17. They have a variety of finishes, and this one is a satin finish.  "Pale muted pinky- beige" according to mac Pulls more peach on me Can be worn alone, mixed to lighten, or in the center of lips to highlight I love this lipstick even alone, but I know not everyone would like this Screenshot from my latest video about some of my favorite lipsticks Not as dry as a mac matte, but still enough so that it wears a long time Can be built up or worn less intense Overall, Not every person nor every skintone can pull this color off, but personally I like it. On me, it's slightly a "concealer lips" color, but that shade is the look some desire. The formula is also very nice, if I wore this more I would try to find a dupe. There may be some listed online in-case the price does not seem reasonabl

Anastasia Cream Contour Kit | Fair | Review + Swatches

There are many contour options from single shades, palettes, powder, cream, but rarely do they cater to fair skin tones. This cream contour palette is in the shade fair, retailing for $40. There are three highlight shades in the top row, and three contours in the lower row. Cruelty free Sleek packaging After watching With flash No flash For a video demo:  https://youtu.be/jXuu8vNIljs The consistency is creamy but on the drier side Can mix with a facial oil if desired Still blends out very easily on its own I usually apply with my fingertips to desired areas and then blend out with a beauty blender Soft Light is a more peachy pink "pale peach" toned concealer / highlight Lustre is an iridescent clear shimmer "sheer porcelain" Not my favorite shade since it is not intense enough as a highlight and the product still needs to be set in place Fair is more yellow toned "pure sand" and is concealer toned on my skin F
