Wet n Wild Megalast Liquid Lip Color in Click On My HyperPink Review

Hey gals! I am obsessed with pink lately. I have an lip color or rather lip stain to review today. It's the Wet n Wild Megalast Liquid Lip Color in Click On My HyperPink. It's a super pretty doll pink in tube which is the main reason I got it. lol



It comes with a spatula like wand which flexes when you put it on the lips. Interesting product design. I don't know if it really made a difference in the application.

Swatch - straight out of the tube
Swatch - blended in on hand
Don't be fooled by the picture because this is a realllly matte lip product. Once it dries it because completely matte and it really hard to remove...but when it does come off it makes your lips looked that you have put on chapped white out. I really like how this swatches on my hand....but not so much on my lips. I think the only good time to use this is if you want to just wear this for a quick photoshoot. The color is very bright and opaque but the texture is just mind blowing weird and slightly gross as it makes your lips stick together. Not a good look.

Lancome Gloss in Love #385 Under the Spotlight - Deluxe Sample I won from Lancome Canada Facebook Page


Hey gals, new makeup review. This is different from my usual review because I won a deluxe sample of Lancome's web-exclusive lipgloss, Gloss in Love in #385 Under the Spotlight. It's a pretty sweet prize really happy when I got this in the mail.

Nice post card that came with the mail

The packaging is really glossy and the gloss has micro silver glitters. I like how this gloss feels like I'm putting jelly on the lips. The color is semi sheer not completely opaque. What is the latest thing you won from a contest?

Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner in Black: Swatches and Review

I have been wanting to try out black eyeliners for a winged cat-eye look and I thought I'd give Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner a try.




Pros:
  • Very pigmented - an actual black not grey
  • Creamy and easy to blend for a smokey eye look
  • Inexpensive drugstore alternative to high end eyeliners
Cons:
  •  Can smudge and crease on you which can look like you have eyeliners above your eyelid...lol

Swatch on hand - without flash

Swatch on hand - with flash

After wiping with my hands

As you can see when I wipe the liner with just my hands it smudges and my fingers picked up a lot of the product. Even though it claims it's waterproof, it's unfortunately not smudge proof at all. It doesn't stay up throughout the day on my oily eyelids but might work better with a black eyeshadow patted on top.

What is your HG eyeliner? Any recommendations?

xoxo,
Tina

Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Blush in Pink

Hey gals! Today I'm reviewing the Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Blush in Pink. I have been wanting to try this blush for a long time since it first came out so I was super happy to find this on sale for about $8 CAD. I have never seen this blush lower than $13 here...pretty insane price difference comparing to the U.S.




The packaging is super pretty. The hearts in the blush are the cutest thing about this product and the main reason I got it. lol

This product comes with a brush but to be honest I haven't actually used it. :)
Blush swatched two times
Pros:
  • Pretty packaging, too cute hearts in the blush
  • Gives a really natural color to the cheeks...suitable for everyday and natural makeup look
  • Has this sheen to the powder which can brighten up your look
Cons:
  • Pigmentation - it's not going to give you a really dramatic flush on the cheeks.
Overall, I'm still pretty happy to own this product but I wouldn't repurchase because I have many other blushes with similar color.

Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids Lipcolor in Fuchsia Flash and Hot Plum: Swatches and Review

Hello lovelys! Hope your first days of summer have been wonderful! I want to start the summer with a review of the Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids line of lipsticks in Fuchsia Flash and Hot Plum. These colors are different than the usual drugstore lipsticks and  the colors just 'pop' on your lips.


The lipsticks are in this bright orange tube. :0





I was looking for a neon magenta lipstick and I couldn't decide which one of the two colors to get so I ended up getting both. Fuchsia Flash is definitely more pink than Hot Plum. I would say Fuchsia Flash is more of a hot pink and Hot Plum is more of a purple hot pink. But from looking at the swatches and on my lips these two colors seem very close. Fuchsia Flash is more neon than Hot Plum but Hot Plum is more pigmented than Fuchsia Flash. Both of the lipsticks smell kind of like vanilla.

Pros:
  • Bright, really beautiful colors
  • Non-streaky with a glossy finish so you can just wear this alone without a lipgloss on top
Cons:
  • Availability - for some reason these colors are sold out in some stores. lol Consider these cost about $7 ~ $10 CAD it's selling like hot cakes
  • Not as pigmented as I expected because of the gloss finish
  • Fragrance - I wasn't too much of a fan of the vanilla scent of the lipstick

Overall, I like the Fuchsia Flash shade better than Hot Plum because it looks more neon on my lips but both are pretty awesome colors.

Until next time!
xoxo,
Tina
