Colourpop Ultra Satin Lips In Echo Park Review & Swatches







Recently (in Feb) Colourpop cosmetics released a whole new collection. The collection is called Ultra Satin Lips. I am pretty sure by now you have heard of it. In this collection Colourpop released 16 new shades I picked up five and tried them. Now its time for in depth review for all the shades. I know some of you can't get Colourpop in your country, but they are working on worldwide shipping so keep your eye out. 

Colourpop has kept the packaging the same as their Ultra Matte Liquid lipsticks. So no big change here, we are all use to seeing the glass tube. This lipstick does come with a doe foot applicator which makes it super easy to apply the lipstick onto your lips. Echo Park is a beautiful peachy nude shade which is great for every day wear. I fell in love with this shade the minute I applied it on my lips. The formula of this lipstick is just amazing. It glides on my lips so smoothly and softly, it also is very lightweight. Now these are a satin finish so if you are looking for a matte finish these are not for you. The lipstick lasted me all day but I did see some transfer after eating and drinking. The lipstick is very comfortable on the lips and seriously does not even feel like you are wearing anything. Now all of you know I have dry lips, so I did have to prepare my lips before applying this product. I just scrubbed my lips which I normally do. It applied beautifully and did not sit on my cracks or dry spots on the lips. The color did not fade away but after eating you might have to reapply. I think I will be wearing this shade a lot. It is a perfect everyday shade for me, but for some skin tones it might look different. Over all I am super impressed with this new formula and collection that Colourpop has created. Let me know your thoughts below. Thank you for reading and have a great day.

Physicians Formula City Glow Bronzer in Paris Review & Swatches











Isn't this such cute packaging? Yes Physicians Formula always does some sort of cute packaging with their products. I spotted this bronzer a couple of months ago at my local CVS and had to pick it up to try out and review for this blog. As you all know PF is one of those drugstore brands that range from $6 and above. This bronzer for $11 and above, but I am pretty sure I got it on sale. 

First of all lets talk about the cute packaging. I love how this city glow bronzer has some of the buildings in Paris on it, but don't be fooled. The buildings are only a gold glitter on top of the bronzer, once you start swatching and wearing the bronzer it does fade away. The bronzer comes housed in a thick black round container that has two sections to it. The first section is the bronzer and when you open the second section there is a brush (which I never use) and a decent size mirror. I love how PF almost always includes a mirror in their products. Packaging aside lets talk about the bronzer, at first look I thought it will be great and not too orange. But turns out this bronzer is too orange for my skin, and is not pigmented at all. I blended it out but it just won't blend like a bronzer should blend and it just settles on my skin. Also it did not last on my skin at all, it just kind of faded away. The packaging is pretty to look at but you can find great bronzers in the drugstore for much cheaper. Over all I am not that impressed with this product. Let me know in the comments below your thoughts on this product? Thank you for reading and have a great day.

Jordana Sweet Cream Matte Liquid Lip Color in Tiramisu Review & Swatches







Jordana Cosmetics has joined the world of liquid lipsticks, like every other company is doing these days. Of course Jordana is a great and an affordable brand so when they came out with this line I was super excited to pick up some shades. I have tested and tried out the shades and now it is time for a review for you all.

Tiramisu is a beautiful deep brown shade and is perfect for every skin tones. At first I wasn't sure if I would like this shade on my medium skin tone but once I applied it, it looked perfect. The formula of this matte lip cream is amazing. The lip cream goes on very smoothly and applies like a dream. It is very creamy and does not stick to your dry patches on the lips. The shade is super pigmented so you don't have to apply two or three layers. I could not believe how fast it dried down to a matte finish and settled in to my lips. This shade lasted me a good six to seven hours on the lips and I really did not need to reapply through out the day. This liquid lipstick is not drying at all, it felt very comfortable on the lips and did not feel tacky at all. Over all I am super impressed with this shade and the formula. Check out my other Jordana posts to see which other shades I picked up. Thank you so much for reading and have a great day.
