Review: e.l.f. Studio Line Moisturizing Lipstick

I've been wanting to review these babies since I got them a year ago!
Without further ado, the elf studio line moisturizing lipsticks!



(L-R) Velvet Rope, Flirty & Fabulous, Rosy-Go-Round

I don't know why they have two different cases, as I ordered them all online at the same time. Both cases are nice, though. These lipsticks screw all the way down, too, which is something other value brands seem to have trouble with (cough cough wetnwild cough).

The elf moisturizing lipsticks' finish is on the creamy-glossy side, and they are fully opaque. They have a subtle vanilla scent that I adore.


(L-R) Velvet Rope, Flirty & Fabulous, Rosy-Go-Round



Velvet Rope is a lovely red, almost incomparable in its colour. It's not very blue-toned, and could never be mistaken for pink.



Flirty & Fabulous is a Barbie-fuschia that's on the glossier side.



Rosy-Go-Round is my favourite lipstick colour ever. If bubblegum-rose were a colour, this would be it.

These lipsticks last me around five hours; the gloss fades, but they leave a stain.

My one beef with these lipsticks is a packaging flaw.


See that? That's what happens when a lipstick base is wobbly. I'm always afraid my beloved Rosy-Go-Round will break off at the base. I mean, for 3 dollars, I can easily buy another, but it's sad when you love everything else about a product and then something like this happens.

Another home run for elf! I'd like to try the entire shade range of these lipsticks!

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...
