Colourpop Cosmetics- Juicy

Today's post features my final lippie from the several that I bought recently.

I've shown you a matte toffee color & two other pinks.

Today's lippie is also pink, but it's more of a Barbie color than the medium & hot pink ones I've shown you before.

Here's 'Juicy'!

'Juicy' is a hyper gloss, described as "strawberry pink"...

which I again disagree with.

This just screams more of like a stereotypical Barbie-pink to me for some reason?

Regardless, it went on flawlessly, the color is perf, and it DOES look juicy! :P

Colourpop Cosmetics- 'Go Fish'

Happy Mother's Day!!

So I know I've been MIA of a week or two again,

but the end of the school year is truly winding down now,

(I have ONE full week left!)

and my schedule is crazy busy.

However, I finally took some time to blog about 1 of the 4 new Colourpop lippies that I ordered a week or two ago.

Today's post is about 'Go Fish'.

This is the first Hyper Glossy lippie that I've tried.

I usually prefer a matte finish,

so I was skeptical about liking this one.

Here it is:

'Go Fish' is described as a "vibrant, coral-red"... but it's more of a vibrant, hot pink ;)

Either way, IT'S AWESOME.

I couldn't believe how much I loved it.

Summer is a perfect time for a lippie like this,

and I can't wait to break it out :)

FROM THE VAULT- Lime Crime Carousel Gloss 'Snow-Sicle'

So considering this is my NINTH consecutive day being out of work due to the snow/ice,

I figured this gloss is a perfect one to bring out of the vault and showcase again.

This gloss is completely clear, but filled with holo/iridescent glitter.

It's GORG.

Though I don't wear this very much (mainly because the sticky-ness of it doesn't mesh with my super long hair)- it is really lovely. Very simple and easy with a little bit of pop :)

* SEMI-REVIEW * Covergirl's Colorlicious Lip Lava 'Mauva Lava'

Happy Sunday Sunday, everyone!

This particular product caught my eye in Walgreens the other day.

I've only ever tried to the Outlast lipstick from Covergirl, and it's been okay,

so I figured I'd branch out just a bit and try this gloss.

The color looked gorg,

so I was pretty excited.

The Product

Here's the product on Covergirl's website:

I mean, that color looks seductive and awesome, right?!

Here it is on:

Review:

Though it does "saturate" my lips with color as it claims,

the consistency of this gloss SUCKS.

I've tried other glosses with the same feel,

and I hate it.

It's sticky and thick.

No way I could kiss anyone or anything with this bad boy on without totally grossing them out and making a mess :/

It's a shame, really,

because I was very impressed with the color quality.

If you don't plan on kissing anyone or being in wind with hair longer than your temples-

you might be fine ://

Verdict:

This stuff isn't really expensive, but I still wouldn't waste the money.

There are other loses out there that give you color saturation and shine

without feeling like you've got thick glue or paste on your lips.

This would be a last resort for me.

RATING (OUT OF 10): 2

Obsessive Compulsive lip tar- 'Black Metal Dahlia'

I've been wanting to try a lip tar from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics

for AWHILE now, especially in Black Metal Dahlia.

Lo and behold, I was able to get it for Christmas! :)

Black Metal Dahlia is a metallic lip tar

in a shimmery maroon-burgundy...

one of my favorite colors right now :)

Depending on the light,

this lip tar goes from purple to red.

*outdoor light- shade

You can see this tar did bleed.

Honestly, being new to lip tar,

I'm not sure the best ways to prevent that from happening, if there are some.

So any suggestions are welcome with that!

Annnnnd there's this:

*outside- sunlight

BAM.

A gorgeous, shimmery red in the sunlight.

Just lovely.

Have any of you tried lip tars from OCC?

What are your thoughts?

Beauty Mail!

My purchases with my Sephora gift card I got from Christmas arrived yesterday!

Here they are:

Too Faced's Jingle All the Way palette

& iPhone5 case

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics'

Lip Tar 'Black Metal Dahlia' 

I have never tried any Too Faced shadows,

so I'm stoked to try this.

Also, I've NEVER tried any Obsessive Compulsive products,

but I've seen this lip tar blogged about and it looks

UHMAZING.

What do you guys think about these products?

What have your experiences been with them, if any?

Lime Crime 'Snowsicle'

Today I have a lip gloss I got several months ago,

but i've been waiting to post about it until it got colder.

Being that it feels like 8 degrees outside here today (but really),

I figured now is the perfect time.

Here's LC's Carousel Gloss in 'Snowsicle'

This is an ice colored, clear gloss with holographic glitter :)

Here I've just worn it over plain lips,

but it would definitely look pretty layered over something else.

Think I'll try that next.

What are your thoughts on this gloss?

*REVIEW* Lime Crime Velvetine in Red Velvet

YAYAYAYAY.

I have finally acquired a product i've been lemming for forever,

thanks to my bestie :)

She got me the Velvetine I've wanted most, 'Red Velvet'.

AND IT'S AMAZING.

The Product:

A gloss that dries matte, giving your lips a smooth, velvet look.

This product has been around for well over a year now,

but they're still wildly popular and coveted :)

Some of it's Claims:

-A gloss that dries totally matte

- Touch/smudge proof

- Long lasting

- Comes in 3 shades

The Review:

As I said, i've been wanting this bad boy for a long time now.

Anyone remember my recent Revlon matte balm post?

Yeah, I bought that because it appeared to me a cheaper version of what I really wanted-

this velvetine!

Here it is:

:drools:

Yeah, this. is. awesome.

The velvet, matte look is to die for, for sure.

PROS:

- Does in fact dry to that sultry, velvety finish :)) LOVE.

- Goes on as a gloss, which makes it super easy to apply

- The brush is a standard gloss brush, but different from the Carousel Gloss 

brushes that LC uses now.

- LAST A LONG TIME. I ate, drank, sang, etc and it still took me awhile

to get off once it was time for bed haha. Definitely long lasting!

CONS:

- Pricey, with a price tag or $20 if you buy from their website

- Just comes in three colors. They've expanded their color options

by recently adding a pink, but I still wish they had more color choices.

They may be working up to that, though.

Verdict:

Whether or not I would suggest you buy this gloss depends on your budget, really.

If you don't have one (either because you're made of money or you're going to ask for it as a gift, ASK/BUY IT. Though it's $20, it does everything it claims and really is gorgeous.

However,

if you're on a stricter budget, Revlon's Matte Balm stains will do nicely.

'Standout' is a very similar shade to 'Red Velvet' and will suffice as a replacement.

It won't last quite as long as this one from LC<

but it will be a great compromise.

RATING (OUT OF 10): 9.5

Dark, Sultry look w/ Wet N Wild trio

So about a month ago,

I snagged another trio from Wet N Wild at my local CVS.

This one is a trio of black, white, and red,

called 'Three's A Party!'

Using the suggested areas for each shadow this first time,

(for simplicity & more mass appeal)

I did a look with it:

 

:P

I used:

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

'Three's A Party!' trio

Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara

Maybelline 'Red Revival' & 'Plum Perfect 'lipstick

Lime Crime Carousel Gloss in 'Candy Apple'

This combo is nothing new.

In fact, I've used it at least two other times in the past year alone.

However, for this first time using the trio,

I wanted to use the shadows in their traditional spots.

As it turns out, I think the combo is sick

and looks super sexy ;)

Gotta love 'Candy Apple' with this look, too.

What do you guys think?!
