NYX Cosmetics High Voltage Lipstick in Sweet 16 Review & Swatches







Earlier this year Nyx Cosmetics released a bunch of new products. They also released 21 new high voltage lipsticks, of course I had to pick some up and review for you all. The packaging of these are different from the traditional lipstick packaging. They come housed in a long tube with a clear lid so you can actually see the color from the top.

Sweet 16:  is a beautiful light pink shade almost as a baby pink. This shade did take two to three swipes for it to give an opaque color. The formula is very creamy and the lipstick goes on very smoothly on the lips. This shade is very glossy and shiny, so if you don't like glossy pink this is not made for you. One thing I noticed with the formula of this shade is that it settled into the dry patches of my lips, and looked very bad. The shade also did not last me a long time on the lips, you drink something and it is gone. Over all I am okay with this shade, the formula is great very creamy but I feel like the lipstick just gets everywhere. Let me know in the comments below what do you think about this shade? Thank you for reading and have a great day.

Colourpop Lippie Stix In Topanga Review & Swatches






As you all know Colourpop has released five new shades of lippi stix in their Summer 2015 collection. Of course I had to pick up some shades and I ended up getting two, Topanga and Fiesta. The lippie stix comes housed in a twist up pencil type lipstick form and has beautiful white packaging. This lipstick smells like a light vanilla scent which I am not fond of. 

Topanga is a beautiful coral pink shade with a satin finish. The lippie stix satin finish is very creamy and the lipstick glides on the lips. Topanga is very pigmented and very rich in texture so it is very easy to wear. You can have one layer and with two layers it starts getting heavy on the lips. One thing I have noticed is that it does cling to your dry patches so if you have any dry skin on your lips it will show through the lipstick. This lipstick wore on me for a little more than four hours and it did not transfer out of the lip line. Colourpop usually has matching lip liners with the lippie stix but with the Summer 2015 collection they did not release any liners. This shade is perfect for summer days where you just want a pop of color on your face. Over all I really like this shade and it is only $5 so you really cant go wrong with it. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. Thank you for reading and have a beautiful day.

Colourpop Super Shock Shadow in Plunge Review & Swatches






The Summer 2015 Colourpop is my go to collection these days.The shades are beautiful and perfect for the spring and summer time. Here are some of the shades that I have reviewed from the Summer 2015 collection Flipper , Shark Attack , Nillionaire so be sure to check those shades out to see what else they offer in this collection. The super shock shadows come housed in a beautiful white round container with a clear lid and the name of the shadow on the back.

Plunge is a beautiful medium beige shade with golden undertones to it. This shadow has a pearlized finish and has light shimmers in it. This is a great in the corner shade of even an all over the lid shade. This shadow is pigmented but you can always build it up for more intense color. The formula of this shadow is creamy so it is best applied with fingers and blended with a brush. I wore this shade all over my lid with a light brown in the crease and it lasted me all day long. I love how Colourpop shadows ever have any fall out and don't fade away through out the day. Over all I am really impressed with this beautiful shade and it is great for any skin tone. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. Thank you for reading and have a great day.
