Rimmel lipstick review

I finally found time to review all these and it's been some time since my last review haha.
Photobucket
First things first, in order of the picture I took. Here is Rimmel's Lasting Finish INtense Wear Lipstick in Crush. The color is like an orangey-nude and all of the ones I have from this collection are frosted which I wasn't a fan of at first but now I don't mind it. 4/5 since it's moisturizing but it could really do without the shimmer
Photobucket
Next is Airy Fairy which is the most natural pink. The shimmer isn't as noticeable so 5/5
Photobucket
Pinker Shimmer was also pretty natural looking but more vibrant than Airy Fairy. I wasn't really in love with it though so 4.5/5
Photobucket
This one is Dizzy and the color is more of a vibrant pink. I would've much preferred this without shimmer so 4/5 as well.
Photobucket
These two from the Kate Moss collection are just looooovveeeelllyyyyy. Shimmerless and thick and bright. This one number 04 is an orangey-red that stands out and I love it for that 5/5
Photobucket
I was compelled to buy this since I'm pretty sure it's the only true purple lipstick you can buy at a drugstore and the color pay off was brilliant. It looks streaky here, but with a little lip liner it would've covered it comepletely. 5/5

[REVIEW] Maybelline Falsies Mascara



So I bought this mascara a while ago and haven't really gotten to reviewing it but here you go. I had nothing else to do today, so I decided it was about time to get it done. :)
http://www.nitrolicious.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Falsies_W_Brush.jpg

As you can see the brush is curved, but more resembling a spatula which is really great because the different angles you can use it in helps get every lash.

 Here it is on myself.

Bare lashes, curled.
 One coat.
 Two coats.
 Three Coats.

As you can see its full length is at two coats and anything after is just volume.

PROS:
  • Lengthening
  • Volumizing
  • Very waterproof 
  • Won't flake
  • Buildable
  • Holds curl
CONS: 
  • Difficult to wash off even with make up remover
Really, there's only one thing I don't like about it, but it's expected since it is waterproof. Needless to say I LOVE IT! :D

Almost forgot;

I purchased the Maybelline Falsies Mascara a while ago, but never got to using it until today, and it is lovely. You really need at least 2-3 coats to build it, because the formula isn't very thick. But your lashes don't get those clumps at the end because the bristles do a great job combing out your lashes. They don't really give me a false lash effect, but it is one of the most lengthening mascaras I've ever used. :) I got it in waterproof and it doesn't flake too much on me and is REALLY waterproof. I can only get most of it off after using make up remover and a shower.
I'll probably do a proper review later ahahaaa.

Huge Revlon Lipstick Review

 So I finally get to reviewing my lipsticks. ( ̄ヘ ̄) I'm gonna split the reviews up by brand because there's just a lot lol. So my largest collection first, Revlon. I don't know why I have so many lipsticks, but I guess them in particular have a huge selection. I don't even wear them out! I'm trying to get into wearing them more often though so it wouldn't be such a waste. So here it goes
 From left to right, Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Coral Reef. Super Lustrous Matte Lipstick in Nude Attitude, Pink About it, Sky Pink, Stormy Pink, Smoked Peach. SUper Lustrous Creme Lipstick in Primrose and Coralberry. ColorStay Soft & Smooth Lipcolor in Smooth Nude. Colorburst Lipstick in Carnation and Soft Nude.
My regular lips completely without product.

Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Coral Reef; very pigmented and thick for a lip gloss, but can be streaky 4.5/5

Super Lustrous Matte Lipstick in Nude Attitude; a little light for my skin tone and falls into cracks 3/5

Pink About It; great red-pink the matte on this one makes it look natural but can be drying 4/5

Sky Pink; a cute baby pink. My only complaint is it's a little drying. 4/5

Stormy Pink; This light fuchsia fit really well with my skin tone 4.5/5

Smoked Peach; Out of all my lip products this is my absolute favorite. The only coral-peach color I could find that suited my skin tone perfectly and the matte just made it look overall natural. 5/5

Super Lustrous Creme Lipstick in Primrose; This was a really lovely pink-lilac color, but did not suit my skin tone at all. The creme was nicely moisturizing, though. 3.5/5

Coralberry; Not as coral as I hoped and is a little on the mature side because it's a darker pink shade, still a nice color. 4/5

ColorStay Soft & Smooth Lipcolor in Smooth Nude; a great pinkish nude color if you don't want it to be completely nude. But because it's made to stay on for a while, when it dries it's more drying than the matte lipsticks. 3.5/5

Colorburst Lipstick in Carnation; this was a nice fuchsia color on me and a lighter version of the actual Fuschia in the Colorburst lipstick line and was moisturizing. 4/5

Soft Nude; nude with very slight pink undertones. This just sat on the cracks of my lips and was pretty streaky. :/ 3/5
All in all, I would give Revlon a 4/5 on their lipsticks.

REVIEW: Dueba Puffy 3 Tone Green!

Finally got new lenses thanks to Cathy!! (*≧▽≦) I was so excited. I got them in perscription this time too. IT IS SO GOOD TO BE ABLE TO SEE CLEARLY WITHOUT GLASSES! But I'm gonna need to use concealer for my bags now that the glasses aren't covering them lol. These were so huge, a darker color probably would've made me look like a demon. 


Got these circle lens from honeycolor.om ☆

Dueba Puffy 3 Tone Green aka. Shinny
Details:
Usage Modality:  Yearly
BC:  8.6 mm
DIA:  14.5 mm
Water content:  38%

Cathy's drawings on the package are so cute and funny omglol. :3


These last two photos were at the end of the day, so my mascara started flaking at me. :P

With flash

With natural light
I rate it 4/5
 
So I felt my first contacts, the Neo Lucky Clover Blue (14.2mm) were a bit smaller than what I, but were really comfortable. After wearing them for a 6th month, they became really irritating and I just couldn't handle it anymore so I threw them away and ordered another pair. So I told myself I'd try a 14.5mm since it looked fine on my friend Miye, but wow. I think the Puffy 3 Tone is gorgeous, but a bit big for me. Lenses tend to look a lot smaller if you're wearing more make up so maybe I should be using more eyeliner or something, idk. Anyway! The color is great and vibrant/opaque. It's not as comfortable as my Neo ones. I had to put in eye drops while in my air conditioned class and had to blink harder or close my eyes for a bit, but it wasn't unbearable or anything. These were huge on me! But it wasn't a shocking enlargement to my friends. When first putting them on, they would give me a weird cock-eye haha. Those complaints aside, I really do like them. They enlarge my eyes rather nicely and are a lovely pop of color. (´・ω・`)

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion (For dry/dry combination skin) 

Picture + site

What they say: The moisture “drink” developed by Clinique’s dermatologists to maintain optimal moisture balance for very dry skins, or skins dry in the cheeks, comfortable to oily in the T-zone. Softens, smooths, improves.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

So my friend had given a sample of this (a cute 1 fl.oz./30ml tube) to me because I had said I wanted to try it, but I was originally going to get the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel for oily/oily combination skin because I am a grease ball, but I've been having this dry/flaky patches of skin near my mouth and nose.

Pro's
: Fragrance free, so none of that perfume stuff that is known to break out your skin! I have to say I am in loooveee with this, because after the first use you couldn't see the flakiness in the dry parts of my face, it did the best job moisturizing, without making my skin greasy. After 2 weeks of use, the flaky patches near my mouth were completely gone. After a little over a month of us, the flakiness around my nose was completely gone. I was really worried this would break me out because my skin is just that greasy, but I haven't gotten a single break out anywhere on my face I was using this.

Con's: None at all other than this light soy scent I'm not much a fan of.

I will definitely buy this again.

Drugstore Creme Eyeshadow Palettes Review

So the only ones I have are Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow in Skinlights (quad) and Maybelline Eye Studio Color Gleam Cream Eyeshadow in Rose Revolution. Similar shades so I'm just gonna compare the two as well.

 Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow in Skinlights

 ★★★

Pro's: Really good pigment, 2 colors come off exactly how they are in the palette (1st and last color). The packaging is pretty neat. Black, thin and sleek with a mirror. Loved the shades and the nice smooth creamy texture.
Con's: Particularly on my eyes, the colors are virtually undetectable. Like there's absolutely NOTHING there but shimmer that makes my lids look greasy. The 2nd and third colors in the palette are off tone. I had expected a SLIGHT gold shimmer for the pink shade, but ended up with gold with a hint of pink on my lids. The lightest one (second) ended up being a shimmery white. I could possibly be using them wrong, but you absolutely cannot put multiple coats of them due to their extreme creasing and I don't even know HOW they clumped together. Also, they colors would NOT even hold on to my brush so I had to use my fingers.

I would not repurchase.

Pro's: Pretty good color pay off with this one as well when swatched. Better color pay off on my lids than Revlon and loved the shades. Smooth creamy texture with this one, too.
Con's: Much similar to the Revlon one, the pink and the lightest shade were off than how they appeared in the palette and didn't show a whole lot on my lids. Same problem with creasing and building only increased its notice-ability a little but left me with clumps on my eyes. It does not hold onto my brushes and I had to use my fingers with this, too.
