NARS Audacious Lipstick Pictures, Swatches, and Review

Hey guys! I'm here today with a review of NARS Audacious Lipstick in the color Anna. Before we get into the color and formula of the lipstick, lets talk about the packaging! The old NARS lipstick packaging was the rubbery packaging that everyone knows NARS for, but these are a new, metal like, square type packaging. And the coolest thing about it, the top is a magnetic closure to the bottom! It's really cool to slide it on and off a bunch of times. I was afraid that the lid would slide right off in my purse, but the magnet is really strong, so no worries about that. The one downfall to the packaging though, is the fingerprints. The second you touch it, they're on there and they are not coming off, so don't even try to clean it.

Anyway, on to the actual formula! Anna is a rosy pink with no shimmer. It's not a matte, there is a little but of shine to it. It's very smooth and creamy and applies evenly in one coat. It's very creamy, so be careful trying to get a super straight edge. I think it is a great shade to throw on and go about your day. It doesn't come off or slide around for about 5 hours on me. This particular shade go with every makeup look, so I think it's a must have! You can try it for yourself for $32 here or here.

MAC Pro Longwear Concealer Review, Pictures, and Swatches

Hey guys! I'm here today to review the MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NC15. This is a concealer with a thicker type of concealer. It comes in a pump and glass style bottle, which is seriously annoying to me. It is impossible to control how much you pump out, and you always pump out more than you need. It is very wasteful in my opinion. The bottle is glass, so be careful not to drop it on a hard surface because it will break.

The actual product inside the bottle is what makes this concealer so great. It is creamy and a bit on the thicker side. It blends like a dream. It has a matte finished when dried. They have 16 different shade, but I am the lightest, NC15. I use this product as an under eye concealer. It works amazingly as that. It covers very well, taking away all of the blue under eye circles. The easiest way I have found to apply this is - put a tiny amount under your eyes, or wherever you need it, and then blend it out with a damp beauty blender. Of course you can blend it out with your fingers, but I find that doesn't keep that full coverage because you wipe it away with your fingers. You can also apply this with a brush, but with that method, I find that it creases rather quickly. And while we're on the topic of creasing, you do have to set this with a powder. Maybe you don't if you have normal to dry skin, but I have very oily skin. I set this with Anastasia Banana powder and it sets and stays on all day, which for me is around 14 hours. This is my favorite concealer of all time. It's great for anything that you need it to do, If you would like to try this, you can for $20 here.

If you guys would like to see a tutorial using this concealer, let me know in the comments!

MAC Rebel Lipstick Review, Pictures, and Swatches

Hey guys! I'm here today for a quick review of the MAC lipstick in Rebel.The color is a dark berry purple. It's almost opaque in the first swatch, so it's buildable. It seems very dark and scary in the tube, but on the lips it's very wearable. It is almost a raspberry color. It doesn't tug on the lips at all, it glides across. It wears for around 4 hours before needing a touch up. Most MAC lipsticks are hit with me and this one is another one. I really like it and find it very wearable. If you would like to try this, you can for $16 here.

Smashbox Always Sharp Lip Liner Review, Swatches, and Pictures

Hey guys! I'm here today with a review of the Smashbox lip liner in Frenchie. The really cool thing about this lip liner is that it sharpens itself! The product comes in a plastic tube and in the the cap is the sharpener. When you twist off the cap, it automatically sharpens the product. My only complaint about the packaging itself, is that when I use it, I don't always want to sharpen it, but it will anyway. I feel like this wastes the product, but there is no way to stop it without leaving the cap off but that will make the product dry out.

The actual product is amazing though. The color is a light baby pink. It glides on smoothly but doesn't slide everywhere. After you apply it you can blend it quickly but it will set. If I feel in my entire lips it will show lines and cracks in my lips but really, any lipliner will do this. It did not fade too much though out the day, but there was a little bit. Not enough to reapply it. At the end of the day it was fairly easy to remove with a makeup wipe. I did have to go over it twice though. I think it is a decent product, but nothing incredible. I probably will try a couple more colors though. They have 16 colors, ranging from nude to pink to red. Mostly they have many shades of pink. If you would like to try this, you can for $20 here.

Vapour Organic Beauty Trick Stick Highlighter Review, Pictures, and Swatches

Hey guys! I'm here today to review the Vapour Organic Beauty Trick Stick Highlighter in Dazzle. This company was very to send me one to review, so thank you guys so much! This product comes in four different colors, and like I said earlier, I received Dazzle, which is a yellow gold toned highlighter. Their website states "Trick Stick is made with 70% organic ingredients and 30% natural mineral pigments". I have been dabbling in organic makeup lately, so I was very enthused when I came across this brand. They have a wide range of makeup, including foundation, powders, lipsticks, cream eyeshadows, and cream blushes and bronzers! That's a lot to choose from, so I can't wait to try more of their things. So let's start talking about the actual product.

So this product is a cream highlighter. It comes in a twist up stick applicator, with a small, found, flat surface. I really like that it is so small and compact because it would be great to travel with or just throw in your makeup bag. The color is a light yellow gold with gold shimmer. You can use this product on your cheekbones, brow bone, cupids bow, or inner corner of your eye. Really anywhere you want to put a highlight. You can apply this directly to your cheek bones or you could use a brush. If you would use a brush, I would recommend a stiff flat one. When I applied this to my cheekbones, it was very creamy, I blended it out with my ring finger, and it blended so well! The color is very pigmented when you first apply is, so I definitely recommend to blend it out. Throughout the day you could clearly see the highlight well. I will say that it was very cold the day I wore it, so I don't know how well it would hold up through sweating all day. There was some fading near the end of the day, but it still looked gorgeous.

I don't know if you can tell, but I really love this product! It's pigmented, it blends well, and it has very good staying power. What more could you want? I definitely will be ordering more colors and different products from this company soon. If you would like to try this out, head on over to http://www.vapourbeauty.com/ and order it for $20 here.

P.S. - I'm not exactly sure what happened during shipping, but my box arrived completely busted up, but thankfully the product was not messed up at all! Just explaining why the box looks the way it does.

OCC Lip Tar Test Tube x3 Set Review, Picures, and Swatches

Hey guys! I'm here today to review the OCC Lip Tar Test Tube Set in Pink Prism. This product comes with 3 mini tubes of Lip Tar and a mini lip brush. A full size lip tar contains .33 fl oz and the three deluxe size samples come with .08 fl oz. Now, I know that sounds like there is barely anything in there compared to the full size, but you barely have to use any product to fill in your lips. There is no way I'll be able to finish one of my full size ones, so maybe I won't waste one of these babies! Anyway, the three colors that come in this pack are Pretty Boy, Lovecraft, and the primer. Pretty boy is claimed to be a matte fuchsia, but when it dries, there is still a sheen there. That doesn't bother me at all to be honest, the color stays there all day. Really. All day. It lasted through eating, drinking, touching my mouth all day. It's amazing. This would be the one that I would use up completely. Lovecraft is a metallic blue based pink. And man, it has some shimmer. Since it's honesty hour, I would never wear this by itself. It sinks into fine lines, shows everything you don't want to show on your lips, and slides everywhere. I was really sad because the color is so so pretty.

 But the great thing about lip tars and that you can mix them. They come in squeeze tubes with very small openings so it is very easy to control how much you want to squeeze out. So when mixed Lovecraft with Pretty Boy it created a light pink with a little bit of shimmer. It almost looked like Pink Nouveau lipstick from MAC. And lastly, the primer is the same consistency as the lip tars, which is somewhat of a semi thick lip gloss. You are supposed to apply this before your colored lip tar so it will last longer, but I really do not think it does anything. I tried it with regular lipsticks too,  and it just makes everything a goopy mess. But I guess it would work well as a regular clear gloss on top of lipsticks as well. I really loved this set and thought it was a great deal. I just might have to but all the other ones also. If you would like to try this, you can for $19 here.

Marc Jacobs Twinkle Pop Eye Stick Review, Pictures, and Swatches

Hey guys! I'm here today to review the Marc Jacobs Twinkle Pop Eye Stick in Volver. This is a cream eye shadow in a twist up applicator. I really enjoy the packaging because it is a twist up instead of having to sharpen the product and then wasting product. And another thing I really like is on the top of the lid, it looks like a pencil and on the tip of it, it has the color of Eye Stick on top. It is kind of hard to describe, but I took pictures of it of course. The color itself is a light champagne. It is very creamy and blends very easily. But once it dries, it sticks. And one of the only downsides of this product is that it will crease it you don't apply a powder on top. For this particular shade, it would be very easy to find an eyeshadow to match it, but for some of the other shades, you could add a translucent powder on top so it would not change the color. Overall, I really like this product. They have neutral shades as well as some unique ones. If you would like to try this, you can for $28 here.
