Lip Gloss

3/28/2014

Do you live for pouty lips? Or how about lips that look like you just finished eating a popsicle? Lip gloss is a necessity in every Barbie girls makeup routine! Don't be afraid to add a sheer gloss on your lips, work it - own it~ If you're afraid of your lips looking too extravagant than go for a nude gloss. Also, please stay away from the glosses that have so much shimmer in it that it looks like it belongs to a 6 year old. The perfect gloss should have, well, a glossy texture. I prefer the tube version over the ones with the applicator, but it's all to your preference! Here are a few lip glosses that I've tried and others that I want to try~

Behold the Benefit 'ultra plush lip gloss'! How cute does the name sound?! The packaging is a 10/10 also! I got a chance to try this in the shade 'A-lister'. The texture is glossy but not sticky. I hate it when I put on a lip gloss and it feels like I just put a glob of glue on my lips. This gloss lasts a few hours before having to reapply, but that's sort of a given. It also comes in a variety of shades. I really want to try the shade 'lollibob' next! I bought this lip gloss from a boutique in Dubai, but the price is about $16 CAD.

Your lips will look like plump marshmallows after using this~ I need to have this! I tried it out at Sephora but forgot to buy it. Do you ever go to a store and buy EVERYTHING except for the thing you went there for? Okay, maybe it's just me~ Hopefully I'll buy this during the spring so I can rock it with all my pink outfits! Anyway.. back to the lip gloss~ This lip gloss gives you the plump lips without the needle! Too Faced has a variety of lip glosses but the 'Glamour Gloss' is my favourite! This retails for $17!

A pink lip gloss for all the princesses out there~ NARS has an amazing selection of makeup, including the infamous 'Orgasm' blush and 'Turkish Delight' lip gloss. I've heard everyone rave about this lip gloss for the longest time possible! I would definitely check out the shades 'Turkish Delight' and 'Super Orgasm'! This retails for $25, which may seem expensive but it's really good quality~

Purchase here: NARS Lip Gloss

Bath and Body Works has a great selection of skincare products, including lip gloss! I've tried many of their lip glosses and this one was my favourite! It's called 'Whipped Vanilla' and smells exactly like that. It smells like freshly baked cupcakes to me! I know this may seem odd to some, but this lip gloss taste amazing! Don't lie to me and say that you've never accidentally licked your lips and been left with a disgusting artificial taste. This one tastes real and AMAZING. It tastes a bit like root beer? You have to try it to believe it! This lip gloss is $7.50~

Purchase here: Whipped Vanilla Lip Gloss

Check out these cute lip glosses from MAC! Although at MAC they call it "lip glass" because it creates such a glossy finish that is glass-like! These come in a wide range of colours. Personally when choosing lip glosses, I'd usually go for the pink, nude, and clear ones. I don't know why I don't prefer lip glosses that are purple or red. Another good thing is that these lip glasses have matching lip sticks, and some nail lacquers! My favourite out of this collection would have to be 'Please Me'~ These lip glasses retail for $16!

That's all for today bubblegums! I hope you all enjoyed this post~

Benefit Fake up Concealer REVIEW

9/01/2013

Today I am here with yet another review! I love doing reviews because I get to share my opinion with my readers who may be hesitant to purchase a product. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Today's review is going to be on a concealer stick from Benefit. I am not sponsored by this company, and all opinions are of my own. :)

Name of product: Fake up
Shade: Deep

I want to mention that this concealer hydrates and also controls creasing. This is something that is really good for people who have dry skin, but also works well with oily and combination skin. The packaging is really cute because its pink an has swirls on it. ^__^ I actually use this concealer with my mom and she loves it also. Although she purchased it at the store the sales lady picked out a colour that was a bit darker than her skin tone. Since I am much more tanner than my mom, this colour suited me better. Although next time I might pick out a lighter shade. Oh well, the art of makeup is to make it work! Here is a swatch of it on my hand:

This concealer has a creamy texture and its really nice because it blends really easily! The consistency is fairly light and it doesn't even feel like your wearing anything on your face. This concealer doesn't really last long since it does contain a moisturizer, but if you set it with powder, then you're good to go! This concealer contains Vitamin E and apple seed extracts to keep you moisturized. As this concealer is different from any other, its packaging makes it easier to use.

It sort of looks like a lipstick which makes the application more precise. The nudish-brown part is the concealer and the surrounding white part is the moisturizer. I am not lying when I say this, but this concealer actually makes you feel so hydrated! I also use this around my nose since it tends to get dry there. This concealer is truly like no other! It provides a medium coverage but you can definitely build this up~

Retail price: $24
