REVIEW: NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream

Herro,

How are we? I think a storm is brewing out there. The wind and rain is gross :(

Today I have a quick review on a NYX lip cream.



I got this off Love Makeup. I have had a look on their website and these seem to be gone at the moment. They only have them in a trio. Grrr. The shade I have is Addis Ababa.

I got this shade as I love dark pink lips especially cool tone dark pink. I wasn't sure about the formula at first but there is a knack to these magical things. Hehe. I would recommend coating your lips in balm beforehand, take that off and apply one coat, let it dry and then build the colour to your desire.


I have nothing but great things for this lip cream. It is seriously pigmented and long lasting. I team it up with some lipsticks and it adds extra ooph to it. I am definitely going to buy some more of these. 


Please excuse the awful lip picture. I haven't gotten the hang of it. This was taken after 4 hours, yes 4! It was still as matte as ever and very vibrant. The only dry parts were where I open and close my mouth. How amazing is that?

Have a great day.

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms | JanBlog #20

Image
Hey guys, Well I ran out this morning to grab the new Revlon Colorburst Balms as I have seen them on every American YouTube video and blog so I needed one at least, or them all. Now they had the 'Just Bitten Kissable', 'Lacquer Balms' and 'Matte Balm' in stock, for now. They seemed to be going fast. I really didn't like any of the others and my hand was full of swatches. Sometimes I just get very focused on particular shades, like today. I have this bad habit of going for bright pinks and deep reds lately and everything I buy lip wise lately is cool toned haha. How pretty do they look? I got 'Standout' which is the deep red and 'Showy' which is the vibrant pink. Both cool toned hehe. They seem to be exclusive to Boots at the moment but are on their website, click here. They retail for £7.99 and are excluded from any offer going on at the moment. They have a wide range of colours in all versions of the balm. A...

Collection Does It All 5in1 Mascara

Image
Hey. Well the other week I saw Shaaanxo instagram a picture of her lashes using a Collection mascara. I thought wow that's pretty impressive for a product under £5. This mascara claims to curl, volumise, lengthen, condition and that it's long wearing. I can tell you now this is all true. I have been testing this for about a month now and it is seriously impressive.  I am terribly fussy with mascaras. I don't tend to like the massive wands with tonnes of bristles sticking every which way. It was very surprising to me that I love this mascara. The wand is very comparable to Maybelline 'The Rocket' and Benefit 'They're Real'. When I tried Maybelline's 'The Rocket' I was constantly poking myself in the eye or mascara would go all over my eye lid. I didn't find that it did a whole lot for my eyelashes. This beauty is £4.99 in Boots or Super Drug and sometimes they have it on offer for £4. I genuinely love this...

Wet N Wild Mega Liner

Image
Hey loves, As you may have guessed, Wet N Wild is available to buy in Ireland now. One of our supermarkets here called Dunnes Stores carries it. They booted Essence out and got Wet N Wild in. For those who are new to liquid liner or just prefer gel, try this if you can. As you can the brush is short but it isn't as pointed as some others I have seen. My issue with liquid liner is getting a grip with the brush so it's firm but still moves. I don't think for me, as a beginner, a long brush or handle is ideal. I love this product. The handle and brush make it so easy for you to have a good grip. The colour range isn't the largest but I chose turquoise for the Spring. I found two coats of this on the lid made it pop and look very different. This liner is so easy to use, I even managed to get a wing. That is a huge deal, for me anyway. For €2.99, I have to go back for more. For those in the UK looking for Wet N Wild, click here. Victoria xox
