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

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

Review: Tarte 9 Ways To Shine Cheek Wardrobe

By M.C. -

I usually do my best to resist buying holiday makeup releases. Often, holiday products have a different formula and aren't as good as other products carried by the brand. However, sometimes holiday releases are just too good to miss. I recently grabbed one of Tarte's holiday releases, the 9 Ways To Shine Cheek Wardrobe. As the name suggests, this is basically a face collection with nine shades of blush, highlight, and bronzer. I was primarily interested in it because 1) I like Tarte blushes and 2) the packaging was SO CUTE .  The shades come in three stacks that slide open and fold up as needed. Recently, I've been obsessed with things that come in this fun, folding packaging, so I'm really glad that Tarte released this product. I just think that this is such a good idea for travel and all that jazz. And, obviously, these little folding compacts are very easy to store, which is a positive change for Tarte considering their holiday releases are usually super
