Quickie Review: Jordana EasyShine Glossy Lip Color-Watermelon Juice

 Jordana EasyShine Glossy Lip Color is a lipstick-balm hyrbid with a dewy feel and glossy finish. Watermelon Juice is a sheer watermelon shade that applies smoothly and shows up like a tinted balm. Wears for about thirty minutes :/. Not too bad for 2 bucks I guess...

Unforgettable Moments Haul!

              Hey loves! I have been like CRAZY behind on my posting lately (using the schedule gadget LOL) so I have been scavenging for stuff that I could review. So I broke out my backup beauty box, which only has a few hunks of junk in it that I rejected by a slice but kept just in case. And now, look at me, digging up this stuff that I realized is perfectly fine...

Basically, I took pics of my haul on two different days. The pics with the pink flower background were taken in artificial light but are surprisingly color-accurate for most, and the ones with the natural setting were taking another afternoon in natural light. Anyway, Unforgettable moments is one of those gimmicky-chic brands formed by Payless ShoeSource. For the kind of drugstore-sort distribution, the products are actually pretty impressive even though the packaging gets kind of old/redundant. Hope you enjoy, each product will be getting its own review under the pic. If you see leftovers of other makeup, please try to ignore them...the cream eye liners are super longwearing... <To the left is the first part of my haul.

 Eye Kit in Beachy Day. This palette is really convenient, since you can slip it right into your purse and get on the move! Although the rose packaging is quite dull, I am in love

with the under-the-sea themed shades. The cream liners are easy to apply, simply manipulated, and in gorgeous shades. The shadows include two matte and two shimmery shades, all of them being ultra lovely and super simple to apply as well as incredibly smooth and soft, silky to the touch. However, the included double-sided (one eyeshadow end, one cream liner end) applicator is not super usable, I prefer my own full-size tools.

 Swatches of eye kit (L to R)-grassy olive cream liner, navy cream liner, shimmery jade green shadow, matte navy shadow, matte stormy blackish-gray shadow, shimmery white (with a teensy trace of very pale jade) shadow.

Shimmer brush swatch (first pic, middle product in lineup)-this is a very nice product. It is a loose face powder in a container, dispensed by sliding down the wraparound glass guard and sweeping the brush over your face. The shimmer is not as obvious from a distance (luckily!) but there is a little glimmer from every angle. The texture is very nice, packaging is sturdy, overall great product! 

 The outside of the other Eye Kit in shade group Stormy Sky, which is kind of weird naming for the color selection but oh well! ^_^ 

 Open! This is identical in quality to the other one, so see first review. 

Swatches-light pool turquoise (a combination of shimmery and matte) shadow, matte-shimmery white shadow, navy-silver cream liner, deep blackened olive cream liner, matte blackened gray shadow, shimmery silver shadow.

 Lip Gloss swatch (see top pic, first product in lineup)-This has a combination smooth/sticky texture and rich, unexpectedly well-pigmented color payoff for a lip gloss. The shade I picked up (which I forgot the name of, sorry...) is a slightly shimmery, almost deep cherry red.  

 Outside of the Eye and Lip Palette in Classic Glamour.

 The palette open, displaying a mirror and six lovely colors with two applicators (I am missing the left one!)-with a bunch of waiting-to-be-reviewed goodies in background.

 Zoom in on the shadows-these have the same quality as the shadows in the two Eye Kits, scroll up to them to reread the review if you would like to.

 The lip colors-these have a cream formula that is slightly drying, excellent color payoff, and decent longevity. Pretty shades too!

Swatches-matte-shimmery white shadow, slightly shimmery silvery, metal-like gray shadow, matte blackened gray shadow (which is in every kit, seriously!), bold orangey-red lip color, slightly rosy medium-pigmented red lip color, deep rosy purple-red lip color.

Hope you enjoyed my haul and reviews, that's all for now loves! ♥

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Cupcake

               The Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters seem to be really popular/loved among most beauty bloggers (although some-I believe-may disagree) and have been making quite a mark. I think these are just, ya know, colored cream balms with a rich texture and a nice shade selection. I just don't see what's so special about them, but we'll see...

The lip butters are packaged in the typical Colorburst quilted container, with a sleek black ribbon around the base. It's actually pretty sturdy. The texture is actually a dream: creamy, rich, and smooth. I love the shade selection and decided to pick up Cupcake, a cotton candy pink, although Lollipop (fuchsia), Cherry Tart (blue-based cherry red) and Sweet Tart (coral-pink) were also jotted down on my mental to-buy list. These are actually a tad pricy ($6 for a lipstick, meh) but I was able to snag this one for about $4 with a coupon. This has a glossy, creamy finish I love. Now I see what all the buzz is about!

 Opened, it's a slanted shape (BTW, my background is an E.L.F. face kit I'll be reviewing soon)

Swatched, it looks shimmery in almost direct sunlight but really is more glossy.

NYC City Duet 2 in 1 Lip Color in the Hot Pinks

             No, seriously, that's the shade name! The Hot Pinks! But forget it, I recently bought this lipstick because of all the hype going on about their coolness, uniqueness, etc. I was like, "Whoa, how often do you see a split-down-the-middle lipstick in TWO COLORS? I have to have this!". Well, let's see if it's worth it (although it was dirt-cheap, only $2.99 so I won't feel cheated if it doesn't work out...)

I have to say, this is some pretty sleek, square-prism packaging for a drugstore product. But I guess they were really trying to get you to see that it was divided into two colors, because they made a really intricate line down the middle of the lipstick and added an ugly "crack" on the top. When I first opened it, I noticed that there was no slant and was like, "How the heck am I gonna get this on?" Well, I guess you go up the side. Gross. The texture is okay, it applies nicely but wears off pretty fast. The fuchsia is mainly blue-based and shimmery, same with the light pink although I see more silvery white sheen. But for the price, I'm not this least bit upset that I had to give this a B.

 Cap off, look at how sharp the line separating the shades is!

 Swatches of both shades, sorry I forgot to do a blended swatch...(but am to lazy to retake)

I think the sticker label at the bottom is so cute, it's split just like the lipstick!

Avon Shine Attract Lipstick in Fuchsia Flare...and Campaign 6 Catalog Scandal

              Hey lovelies! (What an awkward greeting...) Oh well. Anyway, I would like you to meet (dah-dah-dah-DAH!) my new favorite lipstick! Seriously, admit it...everyone's been buzzing lately about those Avon Shine Attract lipsticks, so I decided to give them a try. Really, how often does a lipstick wrapped in gloss come up? Once in a lifetime if it's the "world's first" to do it. Let's check it out, shall we?

Whoa! Hello, awesomeness! What lipstick lover would have the heart NOT to fall in love at first sight? Look at that lovely layer of moisturizing shine encasing a stick of luscious deep rose pink color...sheer genius. And I mean it! This stuff is so toned-down it any shade will work as a my-lips-but-better miracle unless you gunk on tons! But back to the review, the bottom line is that this is a mesmerizing product that is sure to take over as a beauty revolution to be remembered forever. The texture of both is creamy and spreads like a dream. The gloss adds a lustrous gleam of replenishment, while the always-perfect color (in this case, a fantastic fuchsia that is nowhere near as bright as it looks in the official swatch)  unique-ifies your pout with a glamalicious tint. My only bug is that it tastes a tad yucky the second you lick your lips but then wears away. Five stars for Avon!     

 Here it is swatched (R) next to the sample I received in shade Rose Pink.

The sleek silver tube that looks slightly cheap but isn't delicate

enough to be near scratch-prone.

Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks in Candy Pink and Pink Sugar

               Hey guys! Yesterday night, I went to this Italian restaurant called Pasquini, then to King Soopers, then to Monster Mini Golf. Before we talk about the new makeup I bought, I want to tell you guys about the mini golf place. It's built near our nearest McDonald's, and it looked small and run-down from the outside. But when my family and I walked inside, it was quite the surprise! Turns out, the place is huge, with 18 holes, all sorts of scary structures...and guess what? It was completely glow-in-the-dark! Even the white shirt I wore glowed! But anyway, forget that. It's time to introduce two of my new top lipsticks!

 Here we have Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks in shades Pink Sugar (L) and Candy Pink (R). Candy Pink is a slightly iridescent fuchsia, while Pink Sugar is a  sparkly peach/nude with faint pinkish undertones. The thing that's disappointing for me (I have naturally pink-tinted lips) is that neither shows up all that well on me. Hmm, it's okay in the end, I guess. The texture is fairly nice, and it's easy to apply with the wide slanted shape. My pet peeve about Revlon lip products is the yucky taste and smell. Meh, I don't think there's any more for me to complain about or compliment! 

An Award-Winning Lipstick...I KNOW I'M OVERDOING IT ON THE BEAUTY POSTS!

              Okay, I like makeup. A lot. But who cares, let's just POST!!! This one is based on a gorgeous lip color crowned the best of '11 by the Allure magazine. Yep, it's Revlon Super Lustrous Pearl Lipstick in shade Softsilver Rose. Gotta love that pink! It is a hue just around fuchsia, with a silvery shimmer and a slight mint aroma. It is somewhat sheer enough with a smooth and soft texture you don't get in most lip products, even those expensive Sally Hansen items that claim to be "advanced formulas". Yeah, right! No wonder this got such a great review!

Revlon Super Lustrous MATTE Lipsticks in Sky Pink and Stormy Pink

             
              Okay, so I am a tad young for makeup. So? I still have an interest in it. Recently I bought two Revlon Super Lustrous lipsticks in shades Sky Pink and Stormy Pink. Despite the entertaining fact that they are antonyms, the shades are fantastic and I love the texture. Here they are swatched and in their full glory. Anyway, the trick to applying these without getting messy results, dab it across and do not smear. I like the texture of these and the colors are great, so I overall love them.
