Swatches: Maybelline Vivids Lipsticks

Hey Beauties,



I hope all is well. There has been a new rave in the makeup land with these items known as Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids lipsticks. These lipstick are the new sought after items because of the intensity, beautiful shades and how comparable they are to MAC recent collection which featured Pink Pigeon, Party Parrot and others. I love these lipsticks and Maybelline cosmetics is becoming a favorite drugstore brand of mines in that area, being that Revlon was my favorite in the drugstore lipstick area.



L-R: Shocking Coral :: Vibrant Mandarin :: Electric Orange :: Brazen Berry :: Hot Plum :: Vivid Rose :: On Fire Red



Here are swatches of some of the Maybelline Vivids and look out for makeup looks featuring these colors. A review may be in the near future, as I will try to get the other colors in the Vivids collection.

Wet n Wild Cosmetics Fergie Collection

Hello Beauties,

I have been hauling lately and one of the brands I have taken advantage of is the Wet n Wild Fergie Collection. I only bought about one third of the collection. This collection has lipsticks, eyeshadow palettes, bronzers, eye primer, cream eyeliner and nail polishes. I did purchase the eye primer and yes it is an awesome primer so far (possible review in the future). Nevertheless I wanted to share some the goodies I purchase from this collection.



- Eyeshadow palettes I only got three out of the four they offer.

L-R: Metropolitan Nights :: Desert Festival :: Dutchess Lounge


Metropolitan Nights


Desert Festival



Dutchess Lounge



**********

- Centerstage Bronzers I only bought two out of the three they offered

L-R: Rose Champagne Glow :: Carnival In Rio

L-RRose Champagne Glow :: Carnival In Rio


*********

- They offered a variety of shades in the lipsticks from nudes to light pink to berries, red and even black. I only purchased four that looked appealing to my eyes.


L-R: Sanghrina :: Ferguson Crest Cabernet :: Old School Glam :: Fuchsianista

L-RSanghrina :: Ferguson Crest Cabernet :: Old School Glam :: Fuchsianista

L-RSanghrina :: Ferguson Crest Cabernet :: Old School Glam :: Fuchsianista





I will be purchasing the Bebot Love lipstick and also the black shade since everyone on IG raves about it. Also I really like the bronzers but they break easily being that they are baked. Some of the  lipsticks are very dupable from the Megalast lipstick line. I don't think I will purchase the cream eyeliners now but maybe in the future. I own a few cream liners, that I want to hit pan on before I purchase any more. the nail polishes reminded me of their Spoiled collection polishes but just in different packaging. The eye primer is definitely worth the purchase. Being that this is a drugstore brand, I am pretty impressed how Wet n Wild cosmetics is stepping up their game and now have a recording artist representing their makeup line: Fergie!


Are there any colors from the different section you like?

New Milani UltraFine Liquid Liners

Hello Beauties,


Milani is introducing new UltraFine Liquid Liners in five different shades.
Via the Milani website: Sparkling intense color, long-lasting, waterproof formula. The ultra fine felt-tip applicator makes it easy to apply a thick or thin line and dries down to a sparkling finish. Black is in a vinyl finish!





I love liquid liner that are long-lasting and the fact that these will be in a purple, turquoise and emerald colors, I sure will be giving a try.

FOTD: Unknown Assumption

Hey Beauties,


I hope each and everyone is in good spirit and doing awesome. This look for today is pretty simple and as you can see I love a red lip! Unfortunately I can't recall the details of what I used, so being that this is pretty simple and very much achievable, I am not gonna bust my brains trying to recall. Nevertheless, I think it's a Wet n Wild lipstick in Red Velvet (don't quote me on it).

Milani Color Statement Lipstick and Lip Liners

Hey Beauties,

I hope all is well. I am in awe at this amazing package I received from Milani cosmetics. Thank you again Milani cosmetics for sending me these hot red and orange shade lip products. These new and repackaged lipsticks known as the Color Statement lipsticks are absolutely fabulous in intensity and I love the smell. I received the Valentines lip bag package which consist of the shades of red and oranges. Some colors as stated by Milani are old lipstick shades rebooted, which I do own a few of the old shades in my stash too.







Here I will provide swatches as well as a mini review.


Pros

  • Opaque shades of red and oranges and very intense. 
  • Has a very nice smell (some may dislike the candy smell but for me I am in love)
  • The choice of different finishes: metallics, vinyl, matte, cream
  • The lip liners are very creamy when applied, they don't thug on the lips as do some brands of lip liners.
  • Some colors so stain (I don't mind the stain, if you do this may not be for you).
  • These lipstick will last 3-4 hrs once set into the lips after applying, but the matte texture will last longer. 
  • The matte lipstick is a non-drying formula.
  • Cost effective as these are definitely worth the price range of $5.99 and up from various drugstores. 


Cons

  • Some colors may need a lip liner as seen in my pictures.


Rating: 4.5/5







Swatches
(excuse my not so neat application)



Mango Mambo rebooted



Mandarina rebooted







Milani Color Statement lip liners: Natural & True Red
