Winter 2011 Beauty: CoverFX - MintTint FX Tinted Anti-Aging Lip Glaze+Swatches

First I have to thank Joy from Makeup Junkie for allowing me to try this out (won it in a giveaway). I fell in love with MintGlaze FX last Fall and finished my bottle in LESS than a month!

Now I have another bottle to burn through this Winter.. Let's see how long this one lasts!

MintTintFX has some amazing benefits for your lips:

• Protective, volumizing and fortifying glazed tint to maintain youthful lips. 
• Provides natural looking, non-sticky healthy tint. 
• Contains lip freshening peppermint.
• Pout perfecting tint that hydrates & softens lips.

 SWATCHES:

This is such a soft and wearable lip gloss. I know the swatch looks shimmery but it's very subtle.

Perfect for ALL skin tones. Don't believe me?  

Check out this swatch below:

  Simple but pretty!

Perfect Holiday Red Lip from Mary Kay

The holidays is the best time to rock a mean red lip! 

I've been trying to decide what would be my go to color.. in other words I have wayyyy to much to choose from. A little birdy from Mary Kay dropped a lovely package off with their new products and immediately found my holiday lip.

Here is what I used:

• I first feathered my lips with Mary Kay Cappuccino lip liner.
• Secondly, I applied Mary Kay Nourishine Plus in Rock n Red.
• Lastly, I applied Mary Kay Creme Really Red.

The combination is amazing! 

The colors are rich, vibrant and overall fun.

At first I wasn't sure if the combo would work but it was fun experimenting and

seeing this amazing outcome!

SWATCHES:

I have no idea why I wrote Chocolate. Its really Cappuccino.

I think is color would look with any skin tone.

I'm ready for the Holidays now!

Thanks Mary Kay <3

CARGO Voyages Gloss Collection Review + Swatches

I recently received a CARGO Voyages Gloss Collection for review. I'm a sucker for cute packing & color stories, so these became my summertime glosses. I was able to bring these babies everywhere!

GLOSS BREAKDOWN:

Consistency:

These glosses are thin but smooth. 

Four out of five have micro glitter....which can be a pain for some.

Price:

This collection is $22.00 on ebeauty.ca.

If your Canadian divide that into 5 adding HST.. that comes up to $4.97 each.

Color Pay off:

These colors are very sheer **It depends on your natural lip color**.

I find that I have to do 2-3 applications to get some color pay off.

SWATCHES:

RECAP:

OVERALL:
My favorite colors are Tokyo, Paris & Serengeti.
Las Vegas is too light & Morocco is too glittery.

What do you think?

Revlon Creme Glosses review + Swatches

In my city there is a Revlon Sale almost every week at the flea market. Since I haven't really bought any makeup this year I decided to treat myself to a few goodies. After swatching for what seems like forever I found theses babies on my way out!

What first caught my eye was the pigmentation. I prayed when I swatched it that it wouldn't be sheer and washed out.. They weren't!

The next-generation in lip gloss with both full-coverage color and extreme gloss shine. Collagen complex and light reflecting particles give lips a fuller appearance. Vitamin E and collagen condition for ultra-soft lips. Unique flow-through brush offers smooth, even application. 

My girls on twitter told me that these glosses sell for $11.00+ at CVS. I just want to let you all know I got them for 4 for $10.00.

Pros:

• Pigmented
• Affordable (in my case)
• Several colors to choose from

Cons:

• You need to click slowly

OVERALL:
I would purchase again because of the price and pigmentation. In Canada it's very hard to get good quality makeup for under $3.00.

Which one is your favorite?
