Top Shop "Coy" Lipstick Review ♥

Hey everyone! 
I'm finally back for another review haha and it will be on Top Shop's infamous lipstick in "Coy".
Coy is a very bright coral color. I absolutely love it so much! ..I've actually been looking for the perfect light coral shade, but I never had any luck, so I decided to try Coy.  I'm not gonna lie..the Top Shop here in Canada is extremely pricey..but I had to get it either way haha...so bad I know..

SO..on to the actual review..
I LOVE the color...HATE the lipstick...
i absolutely HATE how it sits on my lips..it dries them up and I feel like the color shifts. It's not super full coverage...

BUT..because I LOOOVED the color so much, I had to find a way to make that lipstick work.. and THAT'S when I decided to use my Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in "Flying Cloud"...and MAN was it perfect!

I'm an official happy Top Shop shopper haha..

Here are some pictures of the lipstick on its own..

here it is swatched

anyway...I'm really really happy with this color! 

I hope that this review was somewhat helpful =)

Rimmel London: Kate Moss Lipsticks (no.08 & 09)

So I went to the drugstore today and couldn't help myself when I found the Kate Moss lipstick collection on sale!
I noticed that most of the shades were red; some were light red, bright red, deep red..and barely some nudes..and this really dark brownish color.

I picked my colors in #s 08 and 09.

08 is a brownish nude color and 09 is the most gorgeous red lipstick I've ever seen! Honestly..I love it soo damn much!

I find that the lipsticks glide on the lips pretty easy and smooth, as they're a bit creamy, but once they've been on for a few minutes, they start to look semi matte, which I LOOVE!..I personally prefer my red lipsticks to be matte, because I find that when red lipsticks are too creamy, they tend to smudge all over my face and ugh..who likes that right? ..The nude brownish color (08) was easily not one of my favorites..I mean..it looks nice and all..but because my skin is so fair, the color just looks a bit dark on me..and I expected it to be a lighter color =(

Also..these lipsticks stay on the lips pretty long..they definitely DO NOT stay on for 8 hours like they claim to..I mean..unless you go without eating for 8 hours then I guess they would stay on haha..
here are some pictures :P

(I absolutely love this red so much)

E.L.F (Eyes Lips Face) Cosmetics Haul/Review

Brace yourselves...this will be a long one! xD

I finally received my E.L.F cosmetics in the mail (since Canada isn't cool enough to have E.L.F cosmetics) I had to order it online on eyeslipsface.com.

I honestly love it how Eyes Lips Face always has promotions and sales ALL the time! It makes things so much easier for Canadian shoppers...because that way we don't have to feel bad for paying a lot for shipping haha. Actually..shipping wasn't bad at all..I must've paid around $8 something...not bad.

But yeah..I made my purchase when the site was having one of their 50% off sale on their Studio line products, which was great since everything I wanted to buy was from the Studio line.

I mostly got blushes, brushes and 2 of their matte lip colours. I love it. I love the brushes the most!

I honestly have never come across such SOFT brushes for that price!..They are absolutely amazing..and did I mention soft? haha I got the face kabuki brush and the face powder brush. In my opinion, they're just as soft as the EcoTools brushes! except 10x cheaper haha, and I'm not gonna lie, I kinda regret buying my MAC brushes knowing now that E.L.F has the same brushes for THREE BUCKS!..

So far, I've only tried one blush. in "Twinkle Pink"..the color is alright..what I dislike about it is the shimmer that goes all over your face once you put the blush on. I also got "Fuschia Fusion"...I haven't tried it but I also see lots of shimmer..and I love the color =( ..the GOOD thing about "Twinkle Pink" is that the shimmer went away throughout the day hehe...and as for the staying power of the blush, I'd say its alright...I still have it on and I've had it on for about 9 hours :P

The matte lip colours are great! I got "Natural" and "Nearly Nude". The lipsticks are pretty matte..but they glide on the lips easily, which I love! ..and the colours are beautiful! "Nearly Nude" surprised me..I thought that the colour would come off a little orange, but it actually didn't! I think it's a pretty nude lip color :)

I think that's all I have to say...If I remember to add anything else, I will...AND if anyone has any questions..feel free to ask =)

and now...PICTURE TIME!

(In the picture above, I'm wearing "Natural" on the lips and "Twinkle Pink" on the cheeks)

...

This is so amazingly soft! I love it.

ohh so soft

Darth Vader is watching you! xD 

E.L.F's packaging is really cute! Reminds me of the NARS packaging

(Left to Right: Twinkle Pink, Gotta Glow, Mellow Mauve, Fuchsia Fusion)

Gotta Glow is actually a lot like NARS Albatross
