Wet n Wild Dual Ended Contour Stick REVIEW

While grocery shopping at Wal-Mart i stopped at the beauty aisle (as usual) and spotted some new finds at the Wet n Wild section.

As soon as i seen the Dual Ended Contour stick I thought it looked awfully similar to the NYX one, and for under $5 I had to take it home and test out out! I got the shade Light/Medium

My first impression was the packaging was bulky. Another thing was that the highlight side was not yellow toned like the box led to believe so that was a tad disappointing.

So yesterday I had the chance to try it out and here are my thoughts:

While applying this, the first layer seemed a bit dry but with the warmth of my face it seemed to become creamy. 

I also used a BB and a kabuki brush to test which one was a better use and the BB won. The dampness of the BB helped blend away better whereas the brush was hard to blend with.

The contour had a hint of warm undertone and it felt as if it was a bronzer; not a contour. It wasn't too bad in my non expert opinion.

The highlight part wasn't too bad either since it was almost white. I had set it with a yellow toned powder and to my suppose I didn't crease as much as I normally do.

Overall this product wasn't too bad especially for the $4 something i spent on it, I wouldn't know it its a dupe for the NYX one since I didn't purchase it. 

I have this product a sold 7. The concept is there and the product was pretty good, the packaging is too bulky though. I think this if you're interested in it, then go for it. It is super affordable and worked well but I can say that I wont be purchasing it since I have no need for it.

Also I spotted palettes from their line which I thought were super cute, but I didn't purchase and those were around $5 something

Maybelline Dream Velvet REVIEW

I'm Hello everyone! How's it been? I'm sorry I've been Mia but I have been adjusting to some changes in my life, good changes. But now that everything is settled I have time to blog again!!

Here's a review of the new Maybelline foundation that I have been dying to try out!

The color selection wasn't the best since it wasn't a clear packaging I couldn't see the through it so I winged it. I got Nude 40.

As I got home I immediately swatched it and it looked super orange and I was super iffy about it, but still didn't stop me from trying it! (I'm more of a yellow toned kinda gal, incase you were wondering)

So once I applied it to my fave it felt really good. Very light, it has a gel like texture. Like a primer. It blended it really nice, I didn't have to work fast or anything. 

I used my Tarte airbrush foundation brush and k think that worked really good, since it has medium coverage I felt I got more coverage that way, I prefer a medium coverage almost always since I don't have much imperfections. 

I have normal skin and this foundation works super good. I get a good 6-8 hours of wear and that's all I need. I was super impressed on how well it lasted without it sliding or setting any powder. I also didn't use primer and it worked really good.

After 30 mins of wear it seemed to match my face really good, like it oxidized to my face really nicely. 

I do highly recommend this especially for an everyday, it's very light with a good medium coverage. I found maximum coverage with a brush and as we know using a damp BB will thin out most foundations.

I purchased this at Wal-Mart for about $10 since makeup seems to be cheaper there than CVS and Wal-Greens.

Milani LE Amore Liquid Lipsticks REVIEW

It's been long awaited I know and I haven't personally posted anything I've reviewed about so here's one.

So everyone was on the hunt for these liquid lipsticks and so was I. 

They had 8 shades so I picked up 4 of what I thought suited me best and they were: Adore, Lust, Beloved and Embrace. 

Formula- these seemed super easy to apply because of the doe foot applicator which I appreciate because it helps so much since its stiff you get better control and precise. They had a vanilla frosting scent which I love and it isnt overwhelming. 

When they set, I found that some are streaky like Adore and Embrace which to me are very common in berry to darker shades. I needed at least 2 good coats for color payoff which is okay because they are pretty pigmented. I also found that they are very drying and almost makes my lips looked chapped even if they aren't so make sure to have good moisturized lips! 

The price was decent at $5.99 at CVS which was great, they have a nice light scent and the color selection was pretty descent. Would I buy these again? Yes. They are very nice, but you also need to make sure your lips aren't dry and chapped. Apply a nice thin layer of lip balm and you should be good to go!  

Brow Satin by Maybelline

Since brows are the thing right now, well sorta, Maybelline came out with this Brow Satin. I didn't even know they came out with this until a late ngiht coming home from work, and we all know how this goes, I was stopping to get milk, and my usual routines consists of making a stop at the makeup aisle, and there I seen this, they had like maybe 3 other usual shades. This is a unique idea. It has a creamy brow pencil on one end and the other end had like a brow powder sponge applicator. I must say that I absolutely love this product, especially beause at the moment drugstores have been lacking with their brow products and this really is amazing, I do highly recommend it.

It stays well put. It is a little bit thicken the ABH Brow Wiz but with the right angle and techniques you really can use it to your advantage, and for about $8 this is basically a steal.
