Been awhile...

It's been a really long time since I have written on this blog, again I still don't want to give up on it. I can't believe it's been a year already. Time sure does fly on by. Since my last post my makeup collection has gotten quite larger. Especially with so many amazing holiday palettes that have been out last year and many to come this year. I can say I've been pretty obsessed with Too Faced and Tarte as of late. 

I want to be able to review some of the past make up I've gotten. To really be able to stay true to those items. I have a few I have been excited to share. Even maybe a top ten, and some on the budget dupes. I am excited to share some of the items I have come across. I am really looking forward to sharing them. 

Somethings I have in mind. 

Too Faced
Tarte
NYX 
Holika Holika
La girl 
ELF 
Urban Decay.....

As well as some cute storage ideas. Hopefully I won't be as neglectful. Looking forward to putting some new ideas up soon. 

Till then my dears. ^.^

NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipsticks Collection

I know I haven't been writing reviews and I am really sorry about that. I don't want to give up on this blog and I am pretty sure there could be so much more things I could review. 

So I have been a NYX lover since I first discovered them in high school. Now I never was the big make up girl back then, but I did wear some minimal make up and was never caught dead without a gloss or a little black eyeliner and sometimes if I felt daring a little eye shadow. Nothing to showy at the time, but I loved lip gloss. 

My first experience with NYX was with the Mega shine Lip Gloss in Crystal Soda (LG153) It was a pretty light pink gloss and I loved it. I wore it all the time. But this review isn't about Mega shine Lip Gloss. Just a little history on my experience with NYX. That was way back in 2007 around then. Maybe? 

This review is about NYX Round Lipsticks. Sort of a little collection of the ones I have at the moment. I own at this moment a total of 7. I will list the colors in a moment but let me talk about how they feel. 

The formula is creamy and they don't leave the lips feeling dry so that's a check. They really just glide on the lips like butter so I have no complaints. The lipsticks have different finishes. 

They're really affordable at only $4 which is a steal, and sometimes even cheaper when NYX is having a sale on their website. That's always a great time to buy their products. 

The finishes are: 

Frost 

Cream 

Pearl 

Satin

Now for the colors I own: 

Haute Melon (LSS583A) Bright Coral and it's a Cream 

Peach Bellini (LSS593A) Glittery Coral It's a pearl. It's similar to Haute Melon just with light sparkles in it. 

Femme (LSS643) Bright Pink red it's a cream. I realized that these three looked the same. I will label them for comparison. 

Louisiana (LSS634) Bright Strawberry pink Cream 

Doll (LSS635) Plum Cream 

Fig (LSS640) Dark Neutral Pink Cream 

Electra (LSS513) True Red Cream

I own mostly creams so I can't do a review on Satin or Frost finish, but I do own the one pearl finish. The creams are great and the colors are vibrant. To get the best use it's better to put on two or more coats for true color potency. On deeper colors one coat show tons of pigment. With lighter one it varies and may need two or more coats. 

Overall I love these lip rounds. I will have to purchase a frost and a satin to complete these review. 

One con I did find with the pearl finish lipstick, which is the Peach Bellini. due to it have little sparkles in it I found that it was a bit rough on my lips when I applied it. It wasn't something to say alarming, but for someone with sensitive lips I wouldn't recommend that one. I recommend the cream ones. They are so soft on the lips. 

Well I hope you enjoyed my review and swatches. I hope to be reviewing more products for you and hopefully you'll get some insight to colors. 

I might be doing a ELF review soon. Eyes Lips Face. I hauled a lot of them recently and I am eager to share. Let me know If your interested and what you would like for me to review next. =)

Skin Food Salmon Dark circle Concealer Cream Review

Skin Food Salmon Dark circle Concealer Cream Review:

So there are many reviews on this product. But I wanted to add one. Many people actually love this concealer and I must admit I have been added to that list. I have tried many concealer starting from low end brands to high end brands. Skin Food falls into a mid range. Yet this Concealer does not disappoint for the price tag. 

There were so many positives to this product that I loved. 

Again like my previous review on the Skin Food Salmon Brightening Eye Cream being under the same line. This product doesn't have a fishy smell. It does have a scent though. The scent isn't something that would bother though. Well it didn't bother me much and I don't have a absolute like for things with a fragrance I found this one pretty tolerable. 

The consistency of the concealer is creamy. It's nice to work with. It doesn't dry out the skin like other concealer's. This is especially nice when you have dry under eye and could use a concealer with such property. 

Here is a swatch test of the concealer and how it's coverage is. Note I am using this concealer in shade number two. It comes in two shades. 

I have a burn mark on my hand so I thought I could use this to show how the coverage is. The burn mark is actually a bit darker than how it looks in the picture. Next picture is how well the concealer covers. 

You can't even see the burn mark. I really love this concealer. 

It actually has a good coverage. How much product comes in the jar? 10g. That's a pretty decent amount. Most concealers don't have that amount. Not to mention it's actually a good concealer. 

Do I recommend this product? absolutely. It helps cover up any imperfection and that's a plus. Just add it over you foundation.

Hope this review helped. If you have any questions leave a comment. Let me know your experience with this product. 

Thank you for looking at my review. ^-^ 

Skin Food Salmon Brightening Eye Cream Review

Skin Food Salmon Brightening Eye Cream Review: 

I have had this product for a couple months  now. I wanted to be able to give this review justice. I searched for reviews on this product before I purchased it and wasn't able to find many. Skin Food is a Korean brand and they have nice products. This one in particular is the Salmon Brightening Eye Cream. 

Here are is a picture of the product it's self. All Pictures taken by me.

I was in dire need of a good eye cream. This one offered to be able to lighten dark circles. I thought it was perfect if it could lighten my dark circles. I decided to go ahead and give it a shot. 

I was not left disappointed. 

When you think of a salmon product you automatically think it will smell like fish. This product doesn't have a fishy smell. It has a fresh scent and doesn't smell bad. 

The product description says that it has: 

Brightening Effect- An Eye cream with arbutin (Skin whitening agent) that helps brighten skin around the eyes. Norwegian salmon roe nourishes skin. 

The product itself is a light airy cream. The consistency is nice to the touch when applying to the under eye area. It does have a bit of a greasy feel, but it's only light not too greasy. 

So does the cream do what it says it does? 

I helped me with my dark circles and even received compliments saying that my eye circles looked lighter. So It worked for me and I was very satisfied with this eye cream. I recommend it to people looking to lighten their under eye circles.  

I was also happy with the amount of product that comes in the jar. I have had for a few months and I still have more than half of the product left. 30 g of product in the jar. 

The product does have an elegant look. So I do recommend this. 

Hope this Review helped you. If you have any questions please feel free to leave me a comment and I will try to respond. This was a general review. Please also let me know about your experience with this product. I am sure the results vary. 

Thank you for looking at my review. ^-^ 

Welcome to Makeup Review

WELCOME: 


     This blog is dedicated for the review of cosmetic products, cute and unique things. 
The things that you will find in these reviews are to educate. If you aren't sure about a product and just want to see what people thought about it, before you buy it. This is the place for you. 

    There has been many times before I purchased an item, that I looked for a review on the item. Sometimes I was left disappointed because I wasn't able to find a proper review. I want to be able to help those who are looking to find an honest review. Hopefully I will be able to accomplish that. 

I will be looking forward to helping those in the future. Products that I review have been purchased with my own money and I am not being paid to advertise them. I am solely trying to provide a neutral review. 

Thanks for looking at my blog.
