New Wet 'n' Wild MegaSlicks Balm Stain in Pinky Promise review & swatches

Hello Beauties,
 
How are you all today? I hope you guys are having a great day! Enjoying the cold? These days it is all about twist up balm lip pencils. There are so many brands that have come out with these types of lip balms that it is hard to keep track of everything. Today I will be sharing with you one of my favorites so far. 

 I have been on the hunt for these for over a month now, and finally found them at Rite Aid the other day. I knew I had to pick up a couple because I have already seen swatches, and read reviews on these MegaSlicks Balm Stains. Today I will be reviewing Pinky Promise for you.
 
First of all lets talk about the packaging, these come in a standard twist up crayon balm stain packaging. At 0.10 oz, it is light and great to carry around in your makeup bag. Every shade has its name on the bottom of the tube, and the tube is the shade of the product. I like when companies do that, because people like me who have a million lipsticks/lip balms its easier to find the shade.
 

Pinky Promise is a light pink shade with slight shimmer. The first time when I opened the cap, some of the product came off. Also the it took me 5 minutes and a chipped nail for the plastic packaging to come off. But when I applied the balm to my lips I was in shock!
It went on so smoothly and creamy. One thing I can say is that they are very very buttery. Yes it does moisturize your lips (which I need 24/7 because of dry lips) and also gives you great color. I did not get the minty/cooling sensation from this balm, which Wet n Wild claims that it should.
 

Pinky Promise lasted on my lips for a long time, even after drinking my morning cup of coffee I could still see the shimmer. And my lips were really  moisturizing.
Over all I am extremely impressed with this balm stain. I picked up three shades and in a day or two I will be picking up the rest two.
 
Have you tried the new Balm Stains yet? What do you think? Which is your favorite shade? Let me know in the comments below.
 
I hope you all have a great day! Live everyday like it is your last day! Talk to you soon.

Physicians Formula Nude Wear Glow Blush in Rose Review

 Hello Beauties, 

How are you all today? I hope you all are having a great day. Me over here is hating the rainy weather and the cold. Why cant it just be spring/summer already? So lets start with saying that I am not a big fan of blushes. I just don't wear them, and don't  like them. I have a couple that I rarely use, but that is just for special occasions.
Couple of weeks ago I spotted the new Physicians Formula Nude Wear collection. The first time when I saw this collection it look pretty and interesting. There were other blushes in this collection, I picked up two. Today I will be reviewing Rose for you.

 

First of all lets talk about the packaging, it is really pretty. This blush comes in square packaging, with two compartments. The first compartment contains the blush, and the second contains a mirror with a blush brush. The front of the packaging has a cute little gold bow (which I really love) and overall the packaging is light pink.
The blush itself is in 4 little cubes with light to dark pink shades. Also the blush has "Nude" written over it, which comes right off with the first application.

The formula of this blush is very chalky and very dry. Applying the blush with a brush is not a very good idea, the product does not apply well at all. I am very sad about this blush, I paid $13 for this and it has no pigmentation. Also this blush does not go well with dry skin at all.
I am thinking of using this blush as a highlighter or days when I don't need little color on my face. Over all this blush did not impress me, it is expensive for a drugstore blush also. I have not tried other PF blushes, and I don't think so I ever will.
Also I will be doing a review of the other blush I picked up from this line. I have not tried it out yet, but I have a feeling it will be the same. 

What are you favorite drugstore blushes? Let me know in the comments below. I hope you all have a great day! Talk to you soon. 

xoxoxo,

Maybelline The Elixir Color Sensational Lip Gloss in Raspberry Rhapsody review & swatches

Hello Beauties,
How are you all today? I hope everyone is having a great beginning of the year. And also I hope all of you are staying warm and sipping on hot chocolate. You all know for the last couple of months I have been lipgloss and lipstick crazy. Also there are so many new items coming out in the drugstore it is just so hard to keep track of everything. Today I am sharing with you a fairly new Maybelline lipgloss. 

 The Elixir line came out in Fall of 2013. There are 20 shades in the line, ranging from dark to light shades. I picked up a couple and today I will review Raspberry Rhapsody for you. First of all, I really love the packaging of these, it comes in a cute little clear tube. When you look at it for the first time you might think it is a really shiny lipstick. Raspberry Rhapsody is a light purple shade, which goes on very sheer but you can always build it up.
The formula is very light and glossy. This gloss lasts for atleast 4 hours without eating or drinking. Comes off right away if you drink something, and does not leave color behind. 

Over all, I am not that impressed with this line. I only picked up 2 shades, I will not be buying more. Have you tried this lipgloss yet? Let me know in the comments below. 

I hope you all enjoyed this post. Have a great day and talk to you all soon!
