Milani Fall 2016 Liquid Lipsticks Lip Swatches & Review-Glamour,Fixation,Beautiful

Image
(UPDATE 3/9/17) I actually now prefer the WET N WILD Catsuit Liquid Lipsticks over these, waaaaayyy cheaper and better in quality! and base I use is Savannah Bee in Wild Blackberry it's a natural lip balm that has helped my lips a lot after exfoliating of course I was lucky enough to even get these 3 the display at my local grocery store (HEB) was completely wiped out! They were priced $7.99. They smell exactly like the NYX butter lip cream so they have that vanilla cupcake smell but perform like a typical matte liquid lipstick that sets unlike the NYX that it will budge and come off.  Performance wise, they are average, if you eat something oily they will fade but the #34 Beautiful rolled up when rubbed so there's that but the other two seemed fine.   #31 Glamour is a metallic shade that can be achieved if you already own a brown liquid lipstick that's not too dark just like a chocolate brown, top it off with a shimmer ish eyeshadow the same color or a reddish tone

NARS Copacabana Dupe/Wet N Wild Mega Glo Review

Image
Wet N Wild Mega Glo in Marigold Round  .32 oz $3.99 Stick is a more stiff formula than the creamy NARS one makes it easier to control and does require about the same amount as well. Slight plastic odor that does not linger whatsoever you can only smell it straight out of the tube. NARS The Multiple Stick in Copacabana .5 oz for $39 I love how soft and creamy this feels but application wise it's so flimsy that if you try to apply it straight out of the stick it will change its shape and same if there is too much pressure on your fingers.   CONCLUSION: For the price and application without that much difference in content I would go for the Wet N Wild because of the HUGE price difference and you can't even tell the difference! I still have yet to come across the powder highlights everyone is raving about :( but I'm sure they won't disappoint and would go hand in hand for an even better glow based on the reviews.  And all that for wayyyy under most hig

Bottom to top (for reference I fall in between MAC NC 20-35) Polite society pencil/lip liner Polite society lippie Juju rouge pencil/lip liner Juju rouge lippie Bumble liquid lipstick Kae liquid lipstick Lumiere 2 liquid lipstick  Polite Society Pencil/Lip Liner by itself Pulls peachy nude on me with a hint of rose undertone.  From the website and instagram swatches I've seen I was hoping it more to be a rose toned nude but the peach in it kind of works for me. I really like this lip pencil overall. Color pay off is smooth and nice. Polite Society Lippie Stick by itself It looks lighter to me than the lip pencil and just seems peachy nude but more peach no other undertones.  Unlike the pencil this has no trace of blush/rose tone to it just peach. Some may like it but I was not feeling it on me. Lippie stix quality is very good color aside, described as matte but to me more of a creamy matte. Polite Society lip pencil+lippie stix Gr

Really make highlight pop

I'm For my highlight to really pop I spray my small fan brush with my Mario badescu rose spray if you have setting spray you can also use that or any facial spray that has glycerin same concept when spraying the brush for eyeshadows to be more pigmented it's so cheap at Ulta only $7 I believe  So spray my brush then dip brush in my becca opal highlight! I'm sure you can try it with any other highlight 😀

Lime Crime Salem Dupe for $.99 Jordana Lip Pencils (chocolate lips)

Jordana Lip Liner in Cider Jordana Lip Liner in Toast top: Cider bottom: Toast Credit to the owner  I have been searching for a good lip product that will give me that chocolate lips look and I have found it! Of course does not last like a liquid lipstick but when I slightly topped it off my NYX liquid suede in sandstorm it still gave me that result with a longer lasting power!  So if you own any light brown or nude or even a brown liquid lipstick don't be scared to apply a bit on top to make it last longer it works great! Don't be scared and experiment to get the color you want use it as a base it is creamy and it sets like the NYX lip liners!  Cider is more copper brown as toast is more of a mauve brown but similar on the lips. For less than a dollar you really can't go wrong with it. I bought mine at a beauty supply store called "Daisy's Beauty Supply" which I know is a chain to Texas Beauty Supply that'

Milani Conceal + Perfect 2 in 1 Foundation Review

skin background : 1. oily/combination with dry patches       2. acne prone sensitive                                        3. have some acne scarring both dark and a bit deep marks I came across this foundation while at my local grocery store (HEB if you live in TX you'll know) and it seemed new since I have loved Milani for a while for it being a decent brand and it is also cruelty free.  PRICE: $9.99  I have been religiously using BECCA ultimate complexion creme, full coverage and not matte and is made up 21 percent pure pigment and 22 percent water.  I have raved and labeled this foundation as my holy grail, and I still do but the $44 dollar price tag always gives me buyer's remorse at first.  I only buy the BECCA when I have my 20% off coupon at ULTA or racked up dollars on points so it won't hurt me as much.  I also only use it sparingly since half a pump is technically all you need because A FULL PUMP is WAAAAAAY too much.
