Colourpop Highlighter in "Hippo" Review and Swatches

I recently put in my first Colourpop order and one of the items I purchased is a highlight in the shade Hippo. If you are not familiar with Colourpop, they are a LA based cosmetic company and most known for their lip colors and eyeshadows. They have a very low price point with most items in the $5-10 range. This highlights are $8.00. If you are a new customer you can sign up and receive a $5 off coupon code. All of their face products are a soft cream and are best applied with your fingers or a flat synthetic brush. You can purchase these products at colourpop.com.

I have been on the hunt for a cool, purple toned highlight which is why I chose the shade Hippo. This shade reminds me a lot of Nars Copacabana, which I absolutely love. The texture of these highlighters is a bouncy cream like texture. It kind of reminds me of the Maybelline bouncy blushes, but maybe a little less bouncy. 

This shade is more on the sheer side, but I found that I could easily build it up by applying a few layers. The best way I found to apply it is with your fingers. This shade is really beautiful and looks really pretty with a cool tone eye look. I really recommend checking out Colourpop products. So far I have had good luck with most of their products and I love the low price.

I hope you liked this review and if you have any products you would like me to review make sure to leave me a comment! (:

Too Faced Park Avenue Kissed Holiday 2016 | Review and Swatches

Hey everyone! Today I am reviewing the Too Faced Park Avenue Kisses set. This set is available at Ulta and toofaced.com. In this set you receive 2 full size La Creme lipsticks in Sugar Daddy and Pink Chocolate,  and a full size La Matte lipstick in Rebel Heart. This set is $29.00 which is amazing because one of these lipsticks is $22.00! 

In this set you also get a cute little makeup bag. I love the Too Faced Holiday collection packaging. It is adorable! 

The Too Faced La Creme lipsticks are one of my favorite lipstick formula's. They are very comfortable and smooth. They don't settle into your lip lines and they have a little bit of a glossy finish which I like. I actually feel like these lipsticks make my lips look bigger, not sure how, but I love the look it gives. The only issue I have with these is that they do not last very long. If you drink a coffee or eat a meal you do need to re-aply. The two colors in this set are beautiful and perfect for winter. 

I love that the set includes the matte red shade. I personally find myself wearing red lipstick the most around Christmas time.  It is comfortable and applies smoothly, but does lack the glossy finish because it is matte. This formula is more long wearing due to the fact that it is matte. I love this formula just as much as the La creme formula.

L-R Pink Chocolate, Sugar Daddy, Rebel Heart

I hope you have enjoyed this review. If there are any other Holiday sets you would like me to review let me know in a comment below.

Bare Minerals Meet Gen Nude Mini Matte Lip Set Review and Swatches

     

Hey everyone! So sorry for my lack of blog posts lately, but so much life has been going on. Today I am really excited about sharing my review of this Bare Minerals mini lip set. This set is sold at Ulta and Ulta.com and costs $15.00.  It comes with a Gen Nude Matte Liquid Lip in Bo$$ and a Gen Nude Buttercream Lipgloss in Sugar. You get 0.06oz of product in each lip color. 

I love the formula of this liquid lipstick. It is kind of like a mousse texture and remains me a lot if the Tarte Lip paints. It is a very comfortable formula and it does not make my lips feel crusty or stiff. It is not going to last you all day, but it does last a few hours and through eating/drinking. I love the color so much! It reminds me a lot of Nyx soft spoken and Kat Von D lolita. 

I also really love the lip gloss in this set. It is a perfect pinky nude and this lays on the lips so beautifully. This lipgloss is on the thicker side, but it does not settle into the lines on your lips. I really do not like when lipgloss settles into my lip lines so I was happy that this one did not. The formula is a little sticky but smooth. I love this one. 

Overall, I really like this mini lip set. I love sets that allow to try different formulas/colors for the price of one full size product. I would highly recommend trying out this set if you get the chance. Great quality and worth the price!
