Review: e.l.f. Essential All Over Color Stick in Lilac Petal


Another relic from that old e.l.f. order! Here we have the All Over Color Stick from their essential line in Lilac Petal. It's supposed to work on lips, cheeks and eyes.


It's a short chubby stick, similar to cream blush. It's got a rather wide circumference.


Lilac Petal is and a mix of light pink and mauve with a crapton of silver shimmer. Like, so much shimmer, guys. Also, it smells like lemon candy!


Here it is blended on my cheeks. Oh, god, it's beautiful. I'm glowing. For a dollar! Holy smokes. I ... wow. I look gorgeous. 

This is supposed to be an all-over stick, though, so let's try it on lips and eyes. 

Do I like it on my lips?


I do not like it on my lips.


I do not like it, Sam I Am. 

Seriously though, that's one frosty pink hot mess.

Do I like it on my eyes?


Okay, let's say if I had one product to use on my entire face, I'd choose this. But I wouldn't wear this on my eyes otherwise. It creases like no other, even though it looks pretty upon application.

Anyway, this is one heck of a cheap thrill for a dollar. Its application on the cheeks is second to none, and I'd be satisfied with its quality at a mid-range price, even. It's def-o not perfect for everyone, but it's one nice product. I'm almost proud of it. My underdog fave, e.l.f. essential all over color stick!

Review: Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon

Image
Hey guys, long time no post! I'm here today to review the new Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon. This is an interesting product for sure- one of the many new and exciting things Maybelline has put out for us this spring. The crayon is a short, chubby pencil that is supposed to be a brow pomade in crayon form. There are obviously drawbacks to this design- while it's a cool concept, frankly, the thing is huge. Maybelline definitely should have gone with something a lot less thick. I got the shade Dark Brown, I believe. As you can see, while the product is sharp now, it doesn't take much to run it down and I fear for the day this becomes too nubby to use (I've been using it on an angle so far). The formula, however, is pretty gorgeous. It's soft and emollient, but amazingly pigmented. It gives a soft effect rather than a harsh line. Here are my brows with no product in them. And here is the Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon applied to them. I ...

May Favourites 2016!

Image
May went by so slowly for me, but it was a month of excitement for sure! Eurovision happened and I got a job! Let's see what I loved through this month. A lot of oldies in here! First I've got some Makeup Geek shadows to talk about, and for once, I'm not waxing poetic about their Foiled eyeshadows. Makeup Geek's matte shadows in Chickadee (left) and Cocoa Bear (right) are deserving of all the hype they get. They pair together perfectly to create a warm crease. I'd never actually owned a warm medium brown eyeshadow before this, and let me just say- where have I been?! I've been wearing them all month and the only complaint I have is that now I'm in a bit of an eyeshadow rut because I don't want to wear anything else! Here's them both in my crease with Makeup Geek Foiled eyeshadow in Center Stage on the lid. Every few months or so I fall back in love with my Urban Decay Electric Palette- however, it's usually the shimmers I love. This...

Products I've Hit Pan On!

Image
Whenever I look back on my instagram to see which posts were the most popular, it's always the posts featuring products I've #hitpan on. The panning community in general is awesome, so I figured I'd do a post showing all the products in my collection that currently have some pan going on! And I'm sure I'll have another post like this soon, because I have so many products, particularly eyeshadows, that are soooo close to hitting pan. Anyways- let's get into the good stuff! First up is this Too Faced Jingle All the Way "phone palette" that I've had for ages. It was my first foray into high-end eyeshadow- picked up for a measly 15 bucks when I went on vacation to Washington, D.C. I believe it was part of a holiday collection, and I grabbed it out of the sale bin the following spring. You can definitely see which shadows were part of my "signature look" with this palette- I would use the light matte brown in the crease, the bronze/cop...
