I have purchased many, many contacts from this site. However, I do receive a very small percentage from the sales using my link at PinkyParadise.com, which helps me purchase supplies for my makeup art/everyday contacts/products to review...etc.  But, I generally try to put that towards creating art. If you would like to support me, thank you so much! I try to post any coupon codes and links I get from companies, whether I get any percentage from them or not. I'm all about saving money, so I like helping those that like to do so as well! 

 

NEW Feral Cosmetics Liquid Lipsticks

Very excited to be one of the first to try Feral Cosmetic's new liquid lipsticks! I have all of their bullet lipsticks and the formula is fantastic.  They stay all day.  In fact, I wear Envy, their red lipstick, very often. 

Feral has been working on perfecting their liquid formula for the past year. The formula for these has a creamy velvety feel--almost mousse like, but not as dry and airy. It's very pigmented and opaque, so one swipe gets you full coverage.  It dries down matte and they say it's touch proof and hydrating. I haven't worn these for an entire day yet, but if they are anything like their bullet lipsticks, they'll wear beautifully.

They are launching 5 shades in their new liquid lipsticks. Lustful, Beach Bum, Paint Me Pink, Mauve Along, and Butt Naked.  They will be $18 each and their are 3.5g/0.12oz. They are made in the USA, Cruelty-Free, and Vegan! 

Wearing "Lustful" and "Butt Naked." Topped with sparkly, pink gloss.

For Black Friday/Launch Weekend (25-30 Nov), Feral has discounted the new lipsticks and their satin bullet lipsticks to $15 and free USA shipping with min two item purchase! 
They will also be donating 10% of their proceeds from the launch to PETA.

Swatches below! One coat of each. They are super opaque, so no extra coats needed.

If you would like to pick up these or their satin lipsticks, be sure to check out their Black Friday sale to get them at a discount! You can get these at Feralcosmetics.com

MELT COSMETICS: Prime Rose Collection

Hello, hello! 

Today, I'm here to share a little about Melt Cosmetic's new lipstick collection! The Prime Rose Collection - Soft rose hues that will never wilt or fade.  

The packaging the collection came in was their typical shipping box that was beautifully decorated with different rose images on a textured background.

The collection includes 5 new, matte shades. On-The-Go, Mum, Stepford, Old Fashioned, and Old Rose. They will be $19 apiece. If you purchase the collection at $65, each lipstick is $13.
These lipsticks are 4.05g/0.14oz. Oh, and they are VEGAN!

These colours are pretty different from Melt's usual bold style, but I'm ok with that. Sometime's its nice to have a somewhat neutral colour, especially when these neutrals aren't your average tone.

Swatches below! I tried to get these as accurate as possible.  I normally shoot in natural or white light, but that wasn't available when I show these, so I had to tweak the colour tone in camera to match what was on my arm. 

I fell in love with Melt's bullet lipsticks the first time I tried one.  The formula was a littler harder than your average lipstick, but they go on heavily pigmented and stay on ALL day. I've only worn Stepford so far,  but it wears as beautifully as the other Melt lipsticks I own.  I put on Stepford at 08:00 and it is currently 21:27. Over 12 hours of wear and I have not retouched it or had me lips get all flaky and dry. Amazing. 

Wearing Old-Fashioned and Old Rose for an ombré effect. I didn't have a rose handy, so a pinecone was my prop haha

These floral beauties launch Friday, 25 November, at midnight! Hoorah Black Friday sales and launches! And, if Melt's "pre" Black Friday sale was any show of what they have in store for us, it's going to be a great sale.  So get out your Christmas list and wallet and refresh your browser until midnight!

NEW Pretty Poison Collection from Sugarpill

I've been a Sugarpill customer since almost the beginning! My very first "real" makeup palettes were from Sugarpill and I've been a fan ever since. They recently re-released the adorable Trinket as a permanent shade along with Kim Chi's liquid lipstick. But, it seems like Amy and her team have been working forever on bullet lipsticks. I remember seeing Nurse forever ago on their Instagram and just dying for it to be released somewhere besides IMATS! 

Many, many thanks to Sugarpill for gifting me these lipsticks. I am ever so thankful and I have so many ideas running through my head on what to do with these babies.  Those of you that have been following me for a while know I love just covering my face (and body) with makeup.

Introducing Sugarpill's Pretty Poison collection!  These are six unique shades that range from classic to unconventional in a long-wearing, hyper-pigmented matte formula with single-stroke coverage and a sweet creamsicle scent. These beauties launch this Monday, Nov 14, at noon PST. 

Sugarpill has some of the most pigmented, buttery eyeshadows on the market, so why would their lipsticks be any different? These are very opaque and so smooth and buttery.  If you've played with a lot of brightly coloured lipsticks, you'll notice that the most vivid ones are always a little harder/more dry to apply or you need many, many coats to make them as bright as they look in the tube--these are not like that. One swipe and you have full colour.  They are easy to apply and don't feel drying at all. The creamsicle scent isn't overpowering.  In fact, it's hardly noticeable. 

These beautiful lipsticks come in a little sugar pill tube that's covered in sparkles. Their net weight is 3.2 grams and they will cost $20 each or $120 for the bundle. They are also vegan and cruelty free!

Super sparkly packaging 😍

Now, for the swatches. These were swatched on dry, bare skin.  No primer or base was used.

From top to bottom:

NURSE: Rich, matte, true red with blue undertones.

CUBBY: Matte peachy-pink coral.

DETOX: Delicious, revitalizing orange. Very true-to-colour.

GIRL CRUSH: Vivid, matte fuchsia with blue undertones.

SPANK: Matte, deep blue-based violet.

U4EA: Super saturated, darkened matte teal.

If you'd like to see these on a darker skin tone, @makeupbykrishna swatched them on her page AND in Sugarpill's very FIRST Youtube video (Finally!) You can watch it down below or click through to their Youtube. Autumn and Krishna live swatch the lipsticks!

I'm super happy and very impressed with these and I can't wait to create looks with them! If you'd like to check these out yourself, you can purchase them on the 14th of November, at sugarpill.com
