ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS LIPPIES & SWATCHES

Tuesday, February 24, 2015

Yes and Yes! I finally get to do this post for you guys! I have been wanting to get some of these shades for some time now and they finally arrived in the mail. Anastasia Beverly Hills (ABH) recently launched their new liquid lipsticks just a few weeks ago. These lipsticks apply as a liquid and dry completely matte.

Here are my favorite shades:







I am in looove with them! The applicator is small enough where I don't need a lip liner. I use the applicator to apply the product as a liner and then just fill in the rest. Since my lips are small, these lipsticks help make them look fuller and the product does not smear or get in my teeth. Which I luv and appreciate! The only thing I would change if I could is the packaging decoration. Mine have been wearing off and I don't even carry them in my purse or anything. It's very strange. I have the ABH tinted brow gels (which have a similar packaging) and those will not wear off no matter how much you rub on them. Other than that, these lipsticks are just perfection!


PURE HOLLYWOOD- The perfect nude shade


LOVELY- Pinky nude

VINTAGE- Deep purple


AMERICAN DOLL-
Blue-undertone red (My favorite red shade!). This is the type of red that you can wear Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall! It's just that red shade that will always work because it is not too dark or too neon!


VAMP (left) & HEATHERS (right)-

On the bottle they look a bit different. Vamp is a deep red-brown shade, and Heathers is a deep-burgundy red. Heathers looks kind of like my hair color:) On the lips they both look almost identical. So if you are trying to figure out which shade to go for, you honestly don't need both cuz they are so similar...unless you really want both ;)

So, have you tried these lipsticks yet? I'd love to hear your thoughts! I want to get some new lipsticks. Which brands and shades do you guys recommend?


REVIEW: YOUNIQUE 3D MASCARA

Monday, February 16, 2015

Hello again my lovelies!

Today I bring to you a review on a very talked about mascara! This is the Younique 3D Fiber Lashes Mascara.

I have to say that the packaging is very fancy and high quality. The box brings 2 mascaras inside. One of these is the black gel, and the other is the fibers. 




-APPLICATION-


STEP 1
Apply black gel over lashes. You can also use your regular mascara before to shape your lashes as well if needed.






STEP 2
Apply the "fiber" mascara over the lashes. The gel that you previously applied will help as an adhesive for these fibers. I recommend closing your eyes while doing this as this has a lot of fall out.






STEP 3
Seal the lashes by adding another coat of the black gel. This will help keep the fibers in place.



                                                           


                                         -MY OPINION-




This is a nice mascara. I really like the idea of it. This definitely helped enhance my natural lashes by making them longer and thicker with fibers. It is a good replacement for falsies if you naturally have a good length of lashes to work with. In my case, this is a great option! 

I reeeeeally like this mascara! I would recommend using the brush of your favorite mascara as well when applying the gel (as this will help to brush and separate the lashes more). This isn't part of the steps, but I found that the results were best when I also used my regular mascara brush to brush them.

I know a lot of you guys have been asking me about this mascara and I'm excited to see your results. You can find the mascara on the link below:
