Maybelline The Nudes Palette Review & Swatches

By now I am sure you all have heard about the Maybelline The Nudes palette, or even have tried it. I bought this palette once it came out but I was not sure what I thought about it. So after testing and trying this product for months I have finally a review for you all. This palette was one of the first palettes that Maybelline ever released in their collection. Everyone was very hype on it and still it is seen every where on social media. This eyeshadow palette includes 12 "nude" shades, some are shimmery and some are matte. 

The eyeshadows come housed in a slim black plastic container and that has a clear lid so you can peek inside what the shadows look like. On the back of the palette it gives you directions on how to use the shadows, you can use them as quads, trios and duos. Alright so packaging aside lets talk about the eyeshadows. As you can see by the swatches, some of the shades are pigmented and some are not at all. The matte shades are the most pigmented and blendable in this whole palette. I have used this palette with primer and the shadows work a little better when you have a base applied first. This palette can be used by itself or you can add shades from others as well. I have used this as an every day shadow palette and it has worked great on me. Even though some of the shades don't have much pigmentation you can always build them up, but all of them are easily blendable. The shades lasted me only a couple of hours and than started fading away. Over all this palette is not bad for those who like natural every day looks and don't mind some of the sheer shades. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. Thank you for reading and have a great day.

Loreal Infallible Pro Matte Gloss in Blushing Ambition Review & Swatches

Remember these pro matte glosses from last year? Lorael released a whole collection of them but it was limited edition. But recently they released a permanent collection with more and previous shades. Of course mattes are all the hype right now so I had to pick up some shades and review for you all. I love the packaging of these because you can actually see the shade through the glass tube and the applicator is great. The applicator is sponge and is designed to apply the gloss/lipstick without any mistakes. 

Blushing Ambition is a beautiful bright pink shade that is perfect for spring time. I have noticed that this color looks different on everyone. Like on my sister it looked like a mauve pink and on me just a pink shade. The formula is super amazing, it is non drying, smooth and silky. Also this gloss is very pigmented, with one swipe you get great color on your lips. Once applied on your lips the gloss does take a couple of minutes to dry down to a matte finish. After that forget it that you are wearing anything on your lips. It is super comfortable to wear and does not transfer at all. It lasted me almost all day and did not dry or flake at all. This lip product is a hybrid for a lipstick and gloss, I just love the formula and the concept of this Loreal Infallible Pro Matte gloss. I will be reviewing more shades coming soon. Let me know in the comments below your thoughts on this product. Thank you for reading and have a great day.

NYX Retractable Lip Liner in Nude Review & Swatches

By now I am sure all of you have heard how creamy and dreamy NYX cosmetics lip liner pencils are. Every time I am in Ulta or CVS I have to pick a couple shades up but the are just great. I have reviewed a lip liner shade HERE so be sure to check that beautiful plum shade out. The lip liners are super affordable and amazing quality. NYX has two types of the lip liners, one is a wooden pencil and one is a retractable pencil which this liner is. 

Nude is a beautiful everyday mauve brown shade that suits each and every skintone. I don't think you can go wrong by buying this shade. I have used this with glosses and lipsticks and also used this lip liner pencil to tone down some of the darker lipstick shades. The formula is very creamy and the liner glides on your lips with no tugging or pulling it. Some lip liners are can be drying and very hard to line the lips with but this is very smooth. This liner lasted me through out the day without cracking or fading. Another great thing about this lip liner is that you can fill in your whole lips and wear it just like that. It does not smudge or feather out like some lip liners do. Over all I am very impressed with this liner. Do you have any NYX lip liners in your collection? Let me know below. Thank you for reading and have a great day.
