LUSH Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter

I bought this at LUSH a while back maybe the end of January...if I remember correctly. I originally bought this for my mom cause she was suffering from cracked fingers due to work and the cold. Now this is a super heavy rich butter for your cuticles and the people at LUSH don't just recommend it for your cuticles. You can use this for any part of your body that's dry. I love this for the extremely dry spots on my hands, elbow, and heels! This stuff is so thick and moisturizing! I absolutely adore it. I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a heavy cream. And the lemon scent smells so good to me but can be eh for certain people.

Revlon's ColorStay Ultimate Suede Lipstick in Socialite

I bought this lipstick while CVS was doing a BOGO 50% off. This color is almost like your own lip color, but gives them a tint of reddish-pink to it. It isn't a "your lips but better" color. It still brightens your face and lip. It's a color I would recommend from this collection. The one problem I had with this lipstick was that it didn't feel moisturizing and it did sink into the cracks in my lips.

Rimmel Lasting Finish Matte by Kate Moss in 113

If you couldn't telly by now...I love my nude lipsticks! Especially nude lipsticks that have a peachy undertone to them. I have tried the Kate Moss lipstick with the black packaging but I stumbled across these in my local CVS. I saw the nude one and just had to get it! Now when I first tried this all I can smell was a "cucumber and melon" scent. These are supposed to give a "matte" finish, they feel very creamy on the back of my hand but I can see this lipstick sinking into the lines on my lips. Nonetheless it's a good lipstick that gives you a nice nude but can be a tad bit drying so moisturize those lips before you apply it!

ELF's Blush in Tickled Pink

This ELF blush in Tickled Pink is a matte blush. It's a very light pink color, you can barely see it on your skin. It's one of those blushes that has little pigmentation, but gives you that nice natural flush of color. This isn't my favorite color blush from the ELF studio line but it's a very pretty color. This color probably won't show up on darker skin tones. Have you guys tried any of these ELF blushes? I will do a post very soon on my favorite ELF studio blush!

L'oreal Colour Caresse Wet Shine Stain in Eternally Nude

I bought this lip stain the other day at the drugstore. I came home and had no idea what to expect from it. I opened it and there's this smell. I personally think it smells good, while my cousin said it smelled like chemicals. Now the application to this was smooth, it wasn't sticky or anything like that. The problem with this is the color. The color looks more orange than nude in my opinion. It doesn't give off a "nude" color to my lips. Nonetheless it's a good product just this color didn't cut it for me.

MAC Lipstick in Costa Chic


I went to MAC today and got the lipstick in Costa Chic. I've been wanting to get this lipstick since I saw somewhere that this color was used by some Korean celebrities. And if you ever watched any Korean dramas or anything similar to that, they always have the pretty coral color on their lips. I came home and put it on and this color is absolutely GORGEOUS! It's such a pretty coral color. It gives your face that nice pop of color to brighten your complexion. It's not exactly pink but it's not exactly orange. I definitely recommend this color!

Essence of Beauty Precision Blender Sponge

Now I've never tried the beauty blender or anything of that kind. This is probably my first cosmetic sponge where you can actually reuse instead of those disposable ones. When I took this out of the package, I thought this was supposed to be soft meanwhile it is quite hard. Now I thought maybe if I soaked this in water it would turn soft. Nope. This sponge is still pretty hard and not even near the word soft. This sponge is supposed to blend really well...but it just didn't seem to work for me. This sponge retails for $4.99 and I don't think it does anything. I've heard lots of good things about the Sonia Kashuk one, maybe that will be my next purchase if I can get to a target.

ELF Matte Lip Color in Coral

I am so impressed with these ELF matte lip colors! They are matte yet it doesn't feel drying on the lips. This color "Coral" is such a pretty peachy nude. It doesn't look orange on the lips. It glides on nice and smooth as well. One thing I find particularly annoying is the way the lip color is shaped, it has a pointy tip which can be hard to apply. If you were wondering if you should purchase one of these! I would definitely recommend one.

Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Suede Lipstick in Private Viewing

As mentioned in my previous post about the Ultimate Suede Lipstick in Cruise Collection I enjoyed the color. This one in Private Viewing is a no go for me... This color is a nude that washes me out making me look like I am sick. When I wear this lipstick alone I look like I am sick and my lips are chapped and pale. Also since this lipstick has a frost finish it makes the lipstick even more unflattering on me. The way I like to wear this lipstick is to wear this and put on Lioele's Blooming Gloss in Vanilla Pink. Wearing a lip gloss that has a bit of color on top of this makes it look a lot more flattering on me.
