Lipstick -Revlon - Colorburst Lip Butter in Pink Truffle
mikxoh 11/10/2012 7:11:00 AM
Another favorite lip butter! A perfect pink nude lip color for me that's perfect for the fall/winter season. I was afraid this would turn up more brown/mauve but there is a hint of pink. It's moisturizing and is pretty pigmented.

Lips -Revlon - ColorBurst Lip Butter in Peach Parfait
mikxoh 11/10/2012 7:07:00 AM
Love this guy! I actually had really low expectations for this shade in particular. On my lips it gives me this lovely sheen with a light hint of coral/peach but still a very neutral warm color against my skin complexion. I didn't want anything bright like tutti fruitti [whatever the orange shade is]. It's moisturizing and stayed well on my lips for a good 3-4 hours before fading.

Lips -Revlon - Colorburst Lip Butter in Sugar Plum
mikxoh 11/10/2012 5:08:00 AM
It's a bit of a deceiving color - in the tube it's a dark plum but on my lips it turns out to a pretty bright berry color. Out of the 4 lip butters I picked up, this is my least favorite only because of the misleading color but it's still a wearable color for my skintone. Moisturizing power is decent, nothing to rave about but if you're looking for that dark purple berry color, this isn't the right product.

Lipstick -Revlon - Colorburst Lip Butter - Berry Smoothie
mikxoh 11/10/2012 4:23:00 AM
I caved in and finally got some lip butters. And yep, so worth it. This lip butter is the perfect MLBB fall color. A deep but not dark wash of berry on my lips. Makes my lips look full and plump. The hydration isn't jaw dropping but it's a better moisturizer than a plain lipstick. love love love. not a let down at all.

Lip Treatments -Maybelline - Baby Lips lip balm
mikxoh 11/4/2012 6:17:00 PM
Wah, I got jipped! Pulled into the hype and what a flop. I think my expectations for these guys were WAY TOO DAMN HIGH. I know for a fact that if I wasn't aware of the raves/popularity of these balms I would've at least given it a 3 star rating. I picked up 3 of them and returned them later that week :l They were greasy feelin' and didn't condition my lips any better than some of my cheaper alternatives [ex. dr,pepper lip smackers, carmex etc]. It just fell so flat for me. I'm a chapstick lover and these guys didn't even make the cut for me to store them away for later use. If you love buying hyped products then go ahead and purchase these to your heart's content. Thumbs down from me for this average over hyped product :<

Lip Treatments -Burt's Bees - Beeswax Lip Balm

I once loved this chapstick...most likely due to how popular it was. I used this a ton when I was an impressionable teenager but nowadays I've found better products. It's okay, it's not the worst but there are better alternative products for your chapped lips than this.

Eye Primer -Inglot - Eye Makeup Base
mikxoh 11/3/2012 4:59:00 AM
Wah...my first flop item from Inglot. I love this brand but this item wasn't as amazing as I thought it would be. The $1 eye primer from ELF is better than this. Even though it was only $10...it could've been $10 towards a lipstick/lipgloss. Not worth it, there are much better primers for your money.

Concealers -Inglot - cream concealer
mikxoh 11/3/2012 3:34:00 AM
HG PRODUCT! :D it's my first ever concealer so it may be a bit preemptive to say it's my HG concealer but it's so amazing. for $10 you get this awesome pot of product. Don't cringe! Yes, it's in a pot but my hands are always clean as I put my face on in the morning so I don't mind dipping my ring finger into it. This covers my blemishes, under eye circles and any other spot so amazingly. The shade I bought it in is 67. It's such a perfect match, no joke. when I put this over my blemishes it doesn't make 'em worst, just covers them up perfectly. When I was at the Inglot counter I had asked the SA to direct me to an oil free concealer [inglot has two kinds, this one and one that comes in a tube]. I hope I'll always be able to get my hands on this stuff, it's wonderful :>!

Blush -Tarina Tarantino - dollskin cheek parasol
mikxoh 11/3/2012 1:09:00 AM
This product was originally $25 but I got it on sale. Sephora will no longer be carrying Tarina Tarantino so a ton of her stuff was put on sale. I read lots of reviews about the blushes from temptalia and oh my gosh. IT'S AMAZING. Finely milled, so pigmented and lasts for a good 8 hours on my skin. I have terribly acne prone skin and this doesn't bother it one bit. Parasol comes off as a lovely coral sheen on my skin. It's like a mixture of MAC's Springsheen + NARS' orgasm to me. I'd actually pick up Parasol over Orgasm any day because of the pigmentation and overall formula. Buttery smooth, love it! A warning with the packaging - for some reason, a few of my blushes from this line are so difficult to open! I found that I had to wedge a small flat top to open it like a crow bar or a lever. It sounds annoying I know but after a few times of opening and closing it in that fashion, I managed to weaken the clasp so I can open it normally with no problems.

I read lots of reviews about the blushes from temptalia and oh my gosh. IT'S AMAZING. Finely milled, so pigmented and lasts for a good 8 hours on my skin. I have terribly acne prone skin and this doesn't bother it one bit. For such a cool toned pink, this works so well against my warm complexion. It's that perfect punch of pink that's not over the top. I lightly take my brush across the top of the product, tap out any excess then apply it onto the apples of my cheeks. So so so amazing, I wish I had given this brand more attention sooner! I'm positive I'll take years to hit pan but I know without a doubt I'd repurchase this whenever I run out.

I read lots of reviews about the blushes from temptalia and oh my gosh. IT'S AMAZING. Finely milled, so pigmented and lasts for a good 8 hours on my skin. I have terribly acne prone skin and this doesn't bother it one bit. Feather is the most natural blush I've ever seen on my skin. For reference I'm in 118 in MUFE HD & 30 in MUFE Matte Velet (warm undertones). There is shimmer but it's not gritty and awful. It comes off as a lovely warm sheen that is unbelievably natural. I am so glad I picked up these blushes (I bought 4) because they became out of stock permanently the next day after I had placed my order. I'm positive I'll take years to hit pan but I know without a doubt I'd repurchase this whenever I run out.

Eye Shadow -Tarina Tarantino - Eye Dream Highlight Duo in Moon Opal/Iris Plume
mikxoh 10/13/2012 1:34:00 AM
The pigmentation and formula is amazing! I'm not too fond of the frosted lilac because it REALLY is frosty. It's best used only as an inner corner highlight. The light plum is a lovely color. This color doesn't offer any contouring abilities. I used it as an all over lid color with a darker matte color in the outter V. This formula is so buttery it ALMOST felt like a cream. I had to return this back to sephora though - the packaging looks cute but is literally a pain to open. No, seriously, I nearly crippled my poor fingers prying this thing open. Broken nails aside, this product is really lovely for the price [got it on sale for $10]. But I can't open it without busting up my hands so whomp whomp.

Lips -NYX - Soft matte lip cream- San paulo
mikxoh 10/6/2012 2:32:00 AM
Grabbed four matte lip creams and this one turned out a lot brighter on my lips than expected. I like it but I actually have another lipstick that resembles this color more or less [I think it was a lipstick by victoria's secret] Anyway! It's still a lovely color and yep, it's drying but we all knew that. I don't regret buying it but I won't be repurchasing it.

Lip Gloss -NYX - Soft Matte Lip Cream - Amsterdam
mikxoh 10/6/2012 2:14:00 AM
A cheap fix for your red lip craving! Not an HG product but it gets the job done. Is it drying? Yep. Not surprising since it is a matte lip product. I forked over $4 for this guy and I'm content. Worth a shot and ulta has a good return policy so there's no need to be too hesitant.
