Colourpop Lippie Stix in Hype Girl Review & Swatches






Colourpop has done it again with the lippie stix. I don't own a lot of lippie stix but the ones I own are beyond amazing. This shade that I am reviewing today is from the spring/summer 2016 line. As you all know that I am obsessed with colour pop. I have a lot of their super shock shadows which I use each and everyday. And the price point is just amazing, their products range from $5-$8. The one down side of CP is that you can't purchase it in every country.

Hype girl is a beautiful matte brownish pink shade. This is perfect for everyday use and looks great on every skin tone. The formula is so soft and smooth and applies evenly on the lips. I love wearing this shade with brown eyeshadow and a wing liner. This shade isn't only great for spring or summer you can wear this all year long. This shade lasted me 6-7 hours which is great, I did have to reapply a little after eating. It doesn't fade or makes my lips dry. Over all I am really impressed with this shade and the formula.  Let me know in the comments below your thoughts on this shade. Thank you for reading and have a great day.

Makeup Revolution Run Boy Run Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches











Makeup Revolution is a brand that is readily available in the UK and now that it is in Ulta in the US I love it. It is a very affordable brand with great products and of course my favorite great eyeshadow palettes. Every time I am in Ulta I go to the MR section and pick out a few things. The eyeshadow palettes were the first I have tried from the brand, they are great and super affordable. 

First of all lets talk about the packaging of this eyeshadow palette. The eyeshadows come housed in a sleek shiny black packaging. The palette also comes with a dual ended eyeshadow brush which I really don't use at all. This palette includes 18 shadows in which 12 are shimmer shadows and 8 of them are matte shadows. As you can see it has a variety of shades in it, from neutrals to bronze shadows. I love the shimmery shadows, they are great and do not have a lot of fall out. Usually with shimmery shadow you don't get a lot of pigmentation but with these the pigmentation is there. The matte shadows were not that impressive, but they are a little blendable. You can create so many different looks with this one palette, you can create all matte or all shimmer looks. The shades apply very easily on the lids with or without primer. They do no fade or crease at all and last all day on the lids. I love mixing the top row shadows with the second row to create some bronzey looks. Over all I am super impressed with this palette. It is affordable and also very easily available. Let me know your thoughts below on this palette. Thank you for reading and have a great day.

Essence Sheer & Shine Lipstick in Cute Nude Review & Swatches










Recently I was in Ulta and came across the Essence counter and saw these new sheer and shine lipsticks. A lot of the shades were sold out so I picked up the only shade that is available. As you all know that I love Essence lip liners. They are great and very affordable, also they have a great range of colors. So I decided why not give the sheer lipsticks a try and here I am with a review for you guys. 

First of all the packaging is just like a normal lipstick. It comes in a round tube and the lipstick has a cute E embossed on it. The shade is picked up is Cute Nude, which you can see in the swatch is a very sheer light pink shade with purple undertones, maybe it is different on other skin tones. I really had to swipe this shade a good five to six times for it to show up. This lipstick shade does not have any pigmentation to it, unless you want to stand there and apply it five to six times. The formula although is very soft and goes on very smooth. It is sheer, so it will feel a little moisturizing on the lips. This lipstick lasted me about three hours and I felt like it just vanished from my lips. I did reapply a couple of times through out the day. I feel like the sheer formula can do that with many lipsticks, also this lipstick is transferable. This lipstick is very affordable and if you do go check out they have other great shades as well. Let me know in the comments below your thoughts on this lipstick. Thank you very much for reading and have a great day.

NYX Butter Lipstick in Fizzies Review & Swatches








NYX cosmetics is one of those brands where I really don't have to think twice when I am picking up something new or even old from the store. I know that the product will be great, especially the lip products. I have already reviewed two shades of the butter lipsticks HERE and HERE so be sure to check them out. I recently added some new shades to my collection and you all know Spring is coming soon (hopefully) and this is a perfect shade for Spring. 

NYX butter lipsticks are very smooth and super creamy. They are the best formula of lipstick in the drugstore. Very soft on the lips and super pigmented, they almost feel like a butter balm. Fizzies is a beautiful mauvy pink shade with red in it. Isn't it perfect for Spring time? You can wear this shade with a simple eye look of winged liner and some mascara and it makes you look pulled together. NYX butter lipsticks are readily available online, at CVS and at Ulta stores. I usually pick them up when they are on sale. The lipstick lasted me more than six hours on the lips, but there was a lot of transfer. That is the one con about the lipstick, it gets everywhere like on your coffee mug or if you are eating something you would see it on there. But other than that this lipstick formula is amazing and so worth it. Let me know in the comments below your thoughts on this lipstick. Thank you so much for reading and have a wonderful day.
