There are 3 different primers, 200 "Blur + Illuminate", which adds a subtle glow to the skin while blurring imperfections, 300 "Blur + Redness Control", which reduces redness in the skin while blurring imperfections, and 100 "Blur + Smooth", which makes the skin smoother to the touch and makes applying makeup easier while blurring imperfections on the skin.

Urban Decay "Catfight" Lipstick DUPE ONLY $2!

Image
Source: Urban Decay, Wet n Wild Cosmetics I have absolutely fallen in love with the Urban Decay Revolution lipsticks! They're intensely pigmented, creamy, and somewhat long wearing. However, the $22 price tag isn't so nice for someone on a budget. These lipsticks can be purchased at  urbandecay.com , Ulta , and Sephora . Last week I picked up the Wet n Wild MegaLast lipstick in "Smokin Hot Pink" . These lipsticks retail for ONLY $1.99 at Walmart, Walgreens, and other select mass retailers. This shade is an almost exact color dupe for the Urban Decay Revolution lipstick in "Catfight" . Both shades are a bright medium fuchsia pink that is just gorgeous! It's the perfect color if you're looking for a berry shade for Fall or Winter but don't want an intensely dark color. These lipsticks do differ in finishes. The Wet n Wild is more opaque and has a matte finish, but if you wear a lip balm underneath, it looks like a satin natur...

Wet n Wild Limited Edition Halloween Collection Lipsticks + Swatches

Image
I was so excited to finally see the Wet n Wild Limited Edition Halloween Collection at my Walgreens today! Wet n Wild Limited Edition Halloween 2014 Collection at Walgreens  The collection featured 7 new MegaLast Lip Colors, a few new MegaLast Lip Stains, eyeshadow pencils, and lip glosses. Not sure if the eyeshadow palettes were limited edition or not. I know everyone either loves or hates the MegaLast Lip Colors so I thought I would show you the 7 new shades available and the 3 I picked up! I also included the permanent shade "Pink Suga" not knowing it wasn't limited edition. Good for nude comparisons. (L to R): "Clothing Optional", "Pink Suga", "Sunset Stripped", "Tangelinos" (L to R): "Coming In Latte", "Rose to Fame", "Urban Nights" The lightest shade, "Clothing Optional" , is a very pale peachy nude . If you can rock a concealer nude lip, you'll love...

Top 3 Must Have Lip Colors for Fall

Image
Now that the Fall season is in full swing, I thought I would share my favorite lip shades for the Fall! Here's three shade options for every level of comfort and style! The first and most wearable shade option is to rock a darker brown toned nude . This is the perfect transition from an every day nudey pink to the darker shades of lipstick we come to love for the fall. My favorite lipstick for this option is the Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in 050 "Paradise" . Rimmel Lipstick in "Paradise" The second option for fall is to wear a medium berry shade. Flattering on every skin tone, this color is the perfect shade to bring your every day look into the Fall by adding more definition to the lips. For those that like more color to their lips and think nudes wash them out, a berry toned lipstick is perfect! My favorite is the Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in "104" . This matte berry shade is perfect for adding that pop of color an...

Review: Milani Color Statement Lipstick in "Nude Creme" + Comparison

Image
I finally made it to a Kmart that sells Milani this past weekend and I was beyonddddd excited! One of the products I was most excited to try are the Color Statement Lipsticks. These lipsticks retail for $5.49 at mass retailers where Milani is sold, including Walgreens, CVS, Kmart, and of course online at milanicosmetics.com . Milani Color Statement Lipstick I picked up the shade 26 "Nude Creme". As the name suggests, this shade is a light pinky nude shade. Those of us with fair skin will find this suites us very well as an everyday color. It is a cream finish . It gives that natural shine to the lips that looks so beautiful, however the color isn't quite 100% opaque. I find this finish extremely similar to the Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lipsticks (Full Review HERE ). The wear of the formula was quite good. I got about 3 hours of wear before the shine and intensity wore down and was in need of reapplying. I did notice that on reapplication the form...

Review: Rimmel Matte by Kate Lipsticks + Swatches

Image
In my recent Ulta haul, which you can  see HERE , I picked up two of the Rimmel Matte by Kate lipsticks in shades 113 and 104 to go along with the shade 103 that I already own. They do not have proper shade names sadly. These are a completely matte finish lipstick available in most drugstores and Ulta for around $5. The formula of these lipsticks is amazing! I find they are very creamy and glide on very easily onto the lips without streaking. And unlike most matte formulas that are drying on the lips, these ones do not make my lips feel like like they're cracking or in desperate need of lip balm. With the exception of shade 113, which you will see below. These have very good lasting power on me. After about 3 to 4 hours of wear I notice the color drying down quite a bit and is in need of a touch up. However, it doesn't disappear near the center of my lips like the Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie lipsticks do. The color wears down nicely without looking splotchy or stre...

These lipsticks are permanent to the line and retail for $3.49 each at Walgreens. This month at Walgreens, they are on sale for $2.49 a piece! Let's get in to the review!

Comparison | Rimmel Lipsticks

Image
Rimmel London is by far my favorite drugstore brand for lipsticks. The brand has several lines of lipsticks; Lasting Finish, Lasting Finish by Kate Moss, Lasting Finish Matte by Kate Moss, and Moisture Renew. There are a couple others in the lines but I consider those to be glosses. Here's an overview and a quick review of the lipsticks and which ones I would recommend. Note: I do not own any of the Moisture Renew Lipsticks, my opinion is based solely on the ingredients of that line.
