Sinful Colors Nail Polishes - Firefly, Sweet Dreams, Morning Star, Big Daddy

Sinful Colors Nail Polishes
Firefly, Sweet Dreams, Morning Star, Big Daddy

These are all great colors, then again I haven't met a nail polish I didn't like. I actually own almost 100 bottles of Sinful Colors alone! I do find that at times Sinful colors can be hit or miss in formula, but for between $0.99-$1.99 I know what I'm getting into.

Milani Baked Eyeshadow

Milani Baked Eyeshadow
Antigua



Milani Baked Eyeshadow in Antigua is best described as an antique gold with shine. With the baked shadows from Milani its like getting two shadows in one, because what you get when used dry vs wet is in my opinion a big but wonderful difference.

Wet n Wild Single Shadows

Wet n Wild Single Shadows
Golddigger & Platinum



I have such fond memories of Wet n Wild makeup because it was the first pieces of makeup I ever purchased. Of course I have come a long way from just 8 pieces of make up, I kid you not! I only had 8 pieces, one each of black and purple in lipstick, eyeshadow, and eyeliner, nail polish. Now I have over 500 pieces of makeup which doesn't include my nailpolish!!!!

Milani Baked Blush

Milani Baked Blush
Fantastico Mauve


This will make the second Milani baked blush for me and have come to the realization that I need more. I do find myself going to these blushes a lot. Now I'm very pale, if you have watched my videos you understand just how pale I am, and I have broken capillairies in my cheek around that cause slight redness, so I must choose my blushes carefully. I find that many coral blushes just don't work on me, so I stick with pinks, purples and reds. Well Fantastico Mauve is wonderful mixture of a reddish purple, the swatch picture below is a heavy swatch, but this blush blends out very nicely. I find the wear is great I do notice a bit of fading after about 6 hours, this was over bare skin, with foundation I think this will stretch the wear time to maybe 8 hours.

Sinful Colors Lip Shine

Peachy Sheen, Just Blushing, Pink Sugar, Crystal Cut, Crystalized

Found these lovely Sinful Colors Lip Shines while wandering Walgreens. I picked up all 5 colors that were on the display. (I meant to snap a picture of the display). Sinful colors lip shines are VERY VERY sheer, many of you may know that I can get very upset over lip glosses being extremely sheer, BUT based on how these look in the tubes I knew they would be sheer, plus the name Lip Shine lead me to believe these are not supposed to be pigmented. They aren't overly sticky and have a nice dose of glitter. I will be using these mostly for layering over lipsticks.

Jordana Easyliner Retractable Pencil

Purple Fusion

Jordana Easyliner Retractable Pencil in Purple Fusion was a test buy for me. I've never used any Jordana products, no real reason just never tried them. Well I'm sorry it too me this long. I really like the idea of retractable pencils, Avon use to make one that I loved, but sadly they don't make that one anymore. ANYWHO!!! So lets get down to the nitty gritty, color payoff is nice, does take a bit of building, but application is smooth, wear is nice, and removal with oil based makeup remover helps get the job done.

Milani Liquif' Eye Metallic Eye Liner

Aqua


So I picked this up hoping for a dupe of my MAC Pearlglide Eyeliner, and WOW!!! I am so thrilled and bummed, I'm thrilled because it is just what I was looking for, and bummed because Kmart only had 1 color! So where to start, first the color payoff is amazing, the pencil glides smooth, and it stays put! The package doesn't say that it is waterproof but it should, in order to remove it I not only used a makeup removing cloth, my face cleanser and then still had to break out the oil based makeup remover! The extra steps for removal are really worth it to me in order to have long wear and intense color.

Milani 3D Glitzy Glamour Gloss

Milani 3D Glitzy Glamour Gloss
In Vogue


Milani 3D Glitzy Glamour Gloss In Vogue is a glitter filled pink tinted lip gloss. Depending on how heavy you apply you can go from sheer to opaque. To test this I wore it and drank only, no eating and got a nice 4 hour wear, the glitter did stick around a bit, but didn't end up all over my chin and face which is a good thing. There are bunch more colors in the line, which do appear to come up sheer based on other reviews that I have read. but I absolutely love the glitter in this so I will be picking up a few more colors (who am I kidding I will be getting the rest of the line!).

Revlon Lip Butters

Revlon Lip Butters
Raspberry pie & Brown Sugar



I currently own 4 Lip butters and I LOVE THEM! I wear Cupcake to work all the time! They are so smooth and creamy, and make my lips feel wonderful. I love how some have just an extra punch of color, while others like Cupcake and Brown Sugar give a hint of color, but can be built up for more coverage.

Rimmel London Kate Lipsticks

Rimmel London Kate Lip Stick
Lasting Finish by Kate Moss
04-Purple

This new collection by Rimmel London only has 5 Shades. I picked up 04 which is a deep purple. The color reminds me a lot of my MAC Rebel.

Application was smooth, and full cover with just 2 coats, and I didn't feel like I needed to keep mashing it onto my lips. I wore it and had about 3 hours before I started to see if fading, that is with out eating. I really wouldn't call this a long lasting lip stick, I have some lip sticks and lip colors that I can wear for up to 8 hours before the color starts to fade and that is with eating and drinking. But with that being said I would still pick this color up again. I don't buy my lipsticks based on how long they last really, because I always want my lips to look like I just applied my color, so I'm always freshening up my lips.
