Hot pink lipstitcks! - Swatches included

Hot pink lipsticks

 These are a few of my personal favourites for hot pink lips! 

Rimmel Pink Gossip lipstick

Pink Gossip (#110) is a lighter hot pink, with a coral undertone. This is my go-to for summer pinks!

Loreal- Audacious Amazon's Pout lipstick

Deep, blue based hot pink. Not matte, but not shimmery, quite a cream finish.

Revlon Sweetheart Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain

One of my more wearable hot pinks. Really nice wear, I love these balm stains in general, but this hot pink is lovely!

Australis Kiss me quick lip liner

 A perfect lip liner for all of my hot pink lipstitcks. I recommend this lip liner for really any HOT pink colour, it blends and wears lovely on the lips, I really recommend these liners for any of my favourites.




















I love wearing hot pink lips with a wing liner for a night out, or for day, I normally pair it with a bronze/shimmery eye.

Maybelline Colour Tattoo Swatches and Review- Australia

 So I know I'm super late, but here are some swatches of these colour tattoo's. 

Just to summarize first though, I LOVE them all!

L-R: Bad to the Bronze; Tough as Taupe; Audacious Asphalt; Pomegranate Punk; Tenacious Teal

Cost:
These are around $14 here in Australia, which is cheap anyway, but buy them when they're on sale, I bought MOST of these for $8-9 AUD which is so cheap!

Application: 
Only Audacious Asphalt is slightly patchy, but with these, the trick is to start with a small amount and build up layers for more pigmentation. They last a long time on the eyes and do not crease, on my anyway.

Go out and get them!

Swatches: 

L-R: Bad to the bronze; Tough as Taupe; Audacious Asphalt
Love all of these shades, Bad to the bronze is one of my all time favourites!

L-R: Pomegranate Punk; Tenacious Teal
Pomegranate Punk is my favorite of all the colour tattoos to wear alone with mascata for the
easiest eye look.

Too Faced Boudoir Eyes Swatches and Review

I just got this palette in the mail from beautybay.com

I couldn't get onto the Beauty Bay website today as their website was down, so I forgot how much it cost but I believe it was around $40 AUD.

I have another Too Faced palette so I had high hopes for this palette as well. 

They didn't let me down, this is one beautiful eyeshadow palette.

It also comes with a little pamphlet of how to's for different eye looks which is super handy.

Here are the swatches:

Too Faced Boudoir Eyes Palette 

Top row: In the buff;Fuzzy Handcuffs;Voulez-Vous
Middle row: Satin Sheets; Sugar walls; Garter Belt
Bottom row: Birthday Suit; Lap dance; French tickler

Pigmentation:
Every colour in this palette is super pigmented. There are no duds in this. I know in the Summer Eye palette there were a few colours that are very sparkly but very sheer, but in this one there are none. They are smooth and creamy and are so easy to blend.

Finish: 
Although In The Buff, Fuzzy Handcuffs and Garter Belt all look to be matte, they are more of a satin/demi-matte finish, they are not entirely matte. The other shades are all shimmery, French Tickler and Sugar Walls do contain amazing, chic glitter.

Who will it suit?
The purple colours will suit anyone but it is quite a cool toned palette so keep that in mind if you are into more warm tones.

This palette is so versatile, can go from day to night easily.

For a bride who is going to do their own makeup, pick up this palette, it would be super pretty for bridal makeup!

I believe it is limited edition so get your hands on it if you love taupes and mauvey purples like me.

Sleek One Finishing Powder Review and Swatches

Product: Sleek ONE finishing powder

Cost: $9.49 AUD

Purchased at: http://www.sleekmakeup.com/face/powder/one-finishing-powder

Overall rating: 5/10

Colour: 'one' shade ... get it?? 

This powder contains shimmer. It reminds me, sort of, by that new Chanel powder that was a holiday release, with the shimmers throughout it. 

For setting purposes, it sets makeup quite well and I do like the cooling effect when applied. However, the shimmers can be a problem if you have large pores or suffer from oily skin. I have quite dry and quite smooth skin so I quite enjoy this powder, except I rarely reach for it as it gets quite messy. 

It is so finely milled and the shimmer is also very fine but again, it does show up. The swatches below, with flash, picks up this shimmer. I suggest using this as a highlight if you're planning on taking pictures as with flash it does look very ethereal as a highlight shade. 

I'm not sure how great this would do for darker skin tones even though Sleek brands it as one shade fits all. You may have to look up reviews for darker skin tones if that applies to you but for my fair-medium skin it works well for daily use if I know I'm going to be inside and not doing any flash photography as when this power hits the sun or flash, you've got some Edward Cullen business happening!

Sleek markets this power as being able to mattify. Although it does mattify the skin, it also has the glowing particles in it so that is something to consider when buying. 

Sleek Be Beautiful Blemish Balm BB cream Review and Swatches- Light

Product: Sleek Be Beautiful Blemish Balm (BB cream)

Cost: $11.49 AUD

Purchased at: http://www.sleekmakeup.com/face/bases/be-beautiful-blemish-balm

Overall rating: 5/10

Colour: Light

Finish: Semi-matte

Another Sleek! Wow this is becoming a pattern...no really, I just took a bunch of photos so I decided to swatch them and review them for researching purposes : )

This BB cream is much like the newer BB cream formulas. It's got q very thick, dense consistency and at times it can be difficult to squeeze out of the tube. It claims to conceal, repair, protect and provide full coverage. It has an SPF of 15, which is great.
(Keeping in mind that that SPF of 15 is by UK standards, so here in Australia it may not get any sort of rating on the SPF as our standards do vary to the UK.)

I cannot say much for the repairing or fixing properties as I have not yet seen a HUGE difference in my skin, but I can say that this is one of the thickest, most full coverage BB creams out there in the Western market.

The shade I got, in Light, is far too dark for even MY skin tone. I bought this when it was the end of winter so my skin was very pale as it was. As this does OXIDIZE quite quickly, I would definitely search swatches online or play it safe by going a shade lighter. You can always use a bronzer or darker powder if it is too light, it's a lot harder to blend a darker foundation than a lighter one.

But that is another plus to this BB cream! There are four shades to choose from, which make it great for all skin tones, from the fairest of fair to the deepest ebony. Now that I have more of a tan though, I really love this full coverage BB cream and it is a more full coverage version of my favourite Garnier BB cream!

Best applied with finger tips or spotted around face and blended with a stipple or buffing brush.
(for dry or acne prone skin, using fingertips to gently buff BB cream in might prove better for your skin)

Overall, I do like this. I wish I would've bought the fair shade, however, it is a great product.
