I'm reviewing the newer packaging in the shade Crush On You. It's a standard tingling peppermint feel gloss with good pigment and excellent shine. Not very sticky at all. It does remind me (even the scent) of the Goldie glosses that used to be sold in Bath and Body Works--which was also made by the founders of Hard Candy! Sometimes things come around again in the beauty industry.
This stuff wears like iron, so apply it carefully and keep the lines clean looking. You need a very small amount. I often scrape the excess off inside the tube. It is the longest lasting liquid lipstick I have ever tried, and the color stays true without cracking or fading. It might be slightly sticky while drying, but at least it never dries out your lips. I can't believe this is …Read more
I recently bought two new shades, and they don't seem to last like they once did. Is this because her brand went vegan? I know there are new lip liners, but you shouldn't need a lip liner with a liquid lipstick. I'm not someone who licks their lips, eats, or drinks all day, but they're still wearing off. I tested them with the older liquid lipsticks and I get a much longer …Read more
Some of these are good, and some are really bad. I started off with one of the best, Rebel Rose. This made me curious to buy more, so I chose Nudist Peach and Pink Really Hard. Both are patchy and look awful, and I'm applying them the same way as Rebel Rose. RR is more comfortable and longer lasting. Sometimes pigments just don't work with certain formulas.
After buying the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders a few years ago I realized that they don't last long enough to justify the price. I loved the effect they gave for about an hour, but my skin is dry and it faded in no time. Reserve Your Cabana seems to last a little longer, and it's a dupe for the subtle Dim Light. It took me forever to try it, but it's good as a setting powder …Read more
I find that this shade pairs well with bronzer for an apricot bronze shimmer blush. It's quite pigmented and lasts longer than WNW blushes in the past. I did not care for their blushes years ago, which were powdery and lasted no time at all. They've definitely improved. I think there are still some matte shades missing from their line, though.
This is really good for the price. It's not quite as champagne as it appears online. There is a touch of gold or almost a rose gold in there. If it were champagne it would be much easier for people with fair skin tones to wear it, and I've heard several people say that they'd have to wear it as an eyeshadow instead, or wait for summer. The sheen it gives isn't chunky or heavy …Read more
After using this foundation for a few weeks I can say that I love it, but only if I use the right moisturizer under it and if my skin is not dry. This has decent coverage for me and it lasts, but I never use it with a primer. I don't love the packaging and would prefer a pump bottle, but the shade selection is good. You won't find the entire range in stores, but they are online. I …Read more
I've never been a fan of their blushes, but this was $2.08 and I took a chance. There are clearly two different shades of Rose Champagne blush if you look closely at the display. One is more shimmery pink and there is a sticker that says "new formula", the other is a tannish beige that almost looks like a shade of face powder (similar to Becca Wild Honey). You can buy both to see …Read more
This is currently being hyped on Youtube, and I want to address it before tons of people run out to buy it thinking they have a La Mer dupe. I'll start with sharing that I am an MUA with 14 years experience. This "tint" has the oddest texture. It's very wet feeling, but gel like, and it takes longer to dry down than most foundations or even a tinted moisturizer. The pigment …Read more
