REVIEW: Etude House Dear My Blooming Lips Talk Color Pop Lipstick, Shade OR215!

Once upon a time, MAC held the "All About Orange"  collection that I was head over heels for. However, the prices of their products was just something I couldn't deal with. I rarely buy from the MAC counter. So a few month back, while watching a youtube haul from a young lady, I cannot remember her name, mentioned that this lipstick was a dupe for MAC's Sushi Kiss.

I was sold.

REVIEW: NYC Cosmetics Smooch Proof 16H Lip Stains!

Good morning my darlings. Hope you're having a wonderful week. Nothing has happened lately, except the massive amounts of mosquito bites I got the other night at a bonfire. Remind yourself to always have bug spray around. These bites are no joke! Today, I have for you three lip stains by the brand NYC. They're a fairly cheap brand, ranging from eye products, to face products. Some of the items are of very good quality. Others I just haven't been able to enjoy.

There are many other shades in this line. Originally, I purchased the middle one, called Rock On Ruby [ 497 ] to do the Uzzlang lip gradiation look. I was given the other two as a gift from my mom.

Let's start in order by number:

 [ 496 ] Forever Fuchsia

Definitely a hot HOT pink color.

[ 497 ] Rock On Ruby

A basic, everyday red. 

[ 503 ] Unstoppable Red

A much more vibrant, coral/pink red.

These lip tints are amazing to say the least. Easy to apply with the felt tip applicator. Very precise when applying. They dry quickly & aren't drying to the lips at all. They have almost a cherry candy scent. Not overpowering & fades quickly after application. What I normally like to do is either use Rock On Ruby for the center of my lips & the others for full on lip tinted lips. I layer the color as well, blotting in-between layers to insure the tint has actually tinted my lips. However, eating is a problem. You will have to reapply after eating or drinking, which, in my opinion, isn't that big of a deal. 

Overall, I LOVE THEM. I have at least one on me no matter where I'm at. They don't cost much either. around $6.00 at most. NYC sometimes has sales & you can get buy 1 get 1 free deals. I'm pretty confident that you can get these at most drug stores that carry NYC products. 

*****/5 stars. I'd  recommend these to anyone who wants to try out vibrant lip stains that are affordable & won't break your bank. I'm even thinking about going back & getting the nude color they have. 

Hope you've enjoyed this review, even though it was sort of short. Mini-reviews will be starting up probably this week or next week. 

Hope you have a wonderful day, have an even better one tomorrow!

REVIEW: Tony Moly Petite Bunny Gloss Bars!

Good morning my darlings. I have to be honest with you. I almost forgot what today was & forgot about posting a review for you guys. Seems since taking off yesterday threw me off completely. Thanks to the hot summer weather & my allergies, I've gotten a sinus infection! BLECH, oh well, I'm used to these things by now.

Today I have for you two Tony Moly Petite Bunny Gloss Bars in shade 01 ( strawberry ) & shade 04 ( peach ). Being a Tumblr junkie, pictures of these gloss bars were everywhere, so I finally decided it was time to dig deeper into what they were. I'm glad I did, bc now i'm highly debating on collecting the rest of them.

Shade 01 - Strawberry

Shade 04 - Peach

 ISN'T IT THE CUTEST FREAKIN' THING YOU'VE EVER SEEN?

^_^;;

Let's start off with shade 01, which is the Strawberry scented one.

Close-up of the bunnies head. He doesn't seem too impressed, LOL.

A shot of the gloss bar itself. As you can see, I've used it quite a bit.

Small swatch on my hand. It's sheer, but the color is beautiful.

And here it is on my lips! Kind of amplifies my natural lip color.

Now we have shade 04, which is the Peach scented one.

A happier bunny, but my camera wouldn't focus as well, no matter what I tried.

Very slightly used gloss bar.

Swatch on my hand. I think the color payoff on this one is much more opaque than shade 01.

Here it is on my lips. I love this so much! 

How adorable are the rest of them. You get 2 grams to each Gloss Bar, which I believe is plenty enough for myself, since I don't use these on a daily basis ( I like to switch my lips up a lot ).

Overall, I REALLY like these glosses. I tend to run this repeatedly over my lips & the color gets more opaque as I do, which I really like. The only problem I have is that it can be drying to your lips after awhile. I've only had this problem a few times. Also, it seems the product has detached from the base that allows the product to retract back in the tube, but this has only happened to my strawberry one. I hear I'm not the only one with that problem. However, I'm able to look over those few minor problems. I highly recommend this if you're looking for a small pop of color on a daily basis.

4/5 definitely. I can see myself getting the entire collection of them. A little bunny army of sorts!

Hope you've enjoyed this review.

Have a great day. Have an even better one tomorrow.
