Reviews: Everlasting Liquid Lipstick by Kat Von D

By M.C. -
I think the name of this product should be changed from Everlasting Liquid Lipstick to Bulletproof Liquid Lipstick, because it's actually bulletproof. I've been looking forward to trying this product for a long time and it did not disappoint me. Like, I believe this product could survive a nuclear explosion.

Needless to say, after that introduction, this is a great product. First of all, it lasts forever. It stands up to eating, drinking, and just about everything else. You can put it on your lips at 8 AM and it will still be in place at 8 PM. Unless you purposefully rub and scrub it off, it's not going anywhere.

Not to mention that it's very pigmented. I suppose it's not the most pigmented lip product I've ever encountered, but it's up there. My only complaint is that I'm not the biggest fan of the shade selection; to me there seems to be a very limited selection of reds and too many nude shades. However, I have it in the shade Lolita II, which is a gorgeous terracotta color, so, it really depends on the shades you like to wear.

In terms of texture, it's very light and comfortable. I know that some people think it's very drying, but I haven't had that experience. On the other hand, I'm sort of immune to matte, drying textures, so, if you know that that sort of texture is a problem for you, this might not be the product for you. That being said, it covers extremely well and doesn't feather or settle into lines.

It does cost $20, which is fairly normal for high end lip products. I know that's a little expensive, however, from my point of view, it's worth every penny.

Besides the color selection, my only complaint is the smell. It has a sort of chemical-esque odor, which I don't like. I really appreciate MAC Lipstick and Meet Matt(e) Hughes because they have a nice vanilla odor. If Kat Von D added an odor like that, I think this would be a perfect product. As it is, it's pretty close to perfect.

Final Rating: 10/10

Beautifully Bare Foundation Serum by e.l.f.: Review

By M.C. -

I'm a big fan of e.l.f. complexion products, so, when I was placing a big order from their website a few months ago, I decided to check out this product: the Beautifully Bare Foundation Serum. I've used it quite a few times since the order arrived, and I have to say that the name is accurate. It does make your face look beautifully bare. It's almost invisible on the skin; it's like a light veil that downplays imperfections. It really is a "your skin but better" look. E.l.f. describes it as a "weightless silky formula melts into skin for a radiant and youthful-looking glow. The luminous, dewy finish helps boost suppleness and minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines," and I think that's a good description. The product basically illuminates and blurs your skin with a minimal amount of coverage. E.l.f. notes that this product has flawless coverage, but I think it's important to note that this product has very little coverage. It m...

The De-Clutter is Real

By M.C. -

Let's get one thing straight, I have way too much makeup. I am confident that I will continue to have way too much makeup for the rest of my life. I have enough eyeshadow and lipstick to make sure that my lips will be sticky (weird choice of words, I know) and my eyes will be shadowed for the rest of my life -- and then some. Anyway, I don't mind having a lot of makeup, but, sometimes, it gets a little overwhelming (even for me). So, I recently embarked upon a de-clutter. I especially wanted to de-clutter some stuff because I was preparing to move and I didn't want to drag a lot of unnecessary stuff to my next apartment (I'm fairly sure that I did drag a lot of unnecessary stuff to my new apartment, but that's beside the point). Anyway, I managed to de-clutter quite a bit of stuff, and I wanted to talk about the items I'm getting rid of, so let's get into the details. These are the products I decided to de-clutter: Bright Set Loose Finishing Powder by S...

New to My Collection (November 2017)

By M.C. -

A few months ago, I started a series called New to My Collection, in which I talk about products that I've recently added to my makeup collection and what I think about them. I didn't get a ton of new things in November, so some of these things are from October. However, I want to talk about them anyway and give you my thoughts. So, without further ado, here are some products that were new to my collection in November: Infallible Blend Artist Foundation Blender by L'Oreal - You can stick a fancy name on a makeup sponge, but it's still just a makeup sponge and that's what this is. Personally, I think this sponge is just okay. However, I should say that I prefer sponges with a flat edge. I think this sponge is a good size, has good density, and is very good about not soaking up all your makeup. It gives nice coverage and all of that jazz; I just wish it had a flat side. That being said, I think it's a great value for the money ($8) and I would recommend picking...
