MAC "Media" Lipstick Review | ♥

Hello you person reading this. 

Let me start this post by apologizing for being absent for 500 years. I know, I know..We're all old and with beards by now. Gandalf style.

BUT I'm back! ..I think 

So lets go on with this review! 

MAC "Media" is a color that I would look at and not be attracted to, but ever since seeing it on someone's lips, I fell in love with it! So I walked into a MAC store and tried it on. ... and bought it. 

Now, "Media" has a satin finish and it isn't as long wearing as MAC's matte lipsticks, BUT because "Media is a deep color, it leaves a bit of a stain and it lasts on the lips for quite a few hours without re-applying. However, I feel that "Media" doesn't wear off evenly, when it does start to wear off, and that's when I re-apply ;) 

I shall leave you all with some pictures of the lipstick and swatches and a video review, if you want to see how I applied it :P 

See? The lipstick looks darker in the tube than what it does when applied.

No flash used

annnd here's my video! Enjoy and subscribe! :)

On a completely irrelevant note, The Jezabels just released their new single, "The End" ..and I think it's absolutely brilliant! If you know me, then you are probably aware of my undying love for that band! So here is their new song :) Enjoy!

and some other things I talk about :P

MAC Pro Longwear Concealer REVIEW

Hi my beauts ♥
In this post, I want to talk about Mac's Pro Longwear concealer..and how frickin AWESOME it actually is!
So this is what the concealer looks like:

This concealer is THE BEST I've ever tried by far! I have been using MAC's Select Cover Up for years now..and every time I try a new concealer, I always tend to go back to Select Cover Up because it was just the best ever.. until i tried Pro Longwear. 

This concealer is honestly FULL coverage. I also have MAC's Studio Finish concealer and this Pro Longwear can give you the same amount of coverage..except that this concealer doesnt cake up like the Studio Finish does..and it does NOT crease at all!! 

It actually dries fast..and you need little powder to set it..and it STAYS on for sooo long! ..at the end of the day i still have it on AND no creasing! eeeek I LOOVEE IT! :D

If you're looking for a concealer that is full coverage, non-creasing, and long lasting, I 110% recommend MAC's Pro Longwear. 

Here is my video review on this product..as well as some photos at the end of me wearing the concealer.

Anyway..I hope that this review was helpful!

Victoria's Secret Face Prime Makeup Primer and Setting Spray REVIEW

Hello everyone! ♥

As the title says..this review will be on Victoria's Secret setting spray. 

And let me start by saying how I LOOVE this product! Yes I have tried the Urban Decay setting sprays and yes they ARE better BUT this setting spray is ONLY $12 dollars and it still holds my makeup in place longer than what it would last without it. 

I think that $12 for a 4.05 fl oz product is a really good deal..especially if it does what it claims to do!..

This product is non-greasy and it hasn't broke me out.

I put it on my face twice..right after my moisturizer (before my foundation) and after I'm all done my makeup to lock everything in place. 

I am for sure repurchasing this product! 

Here is my video review on this setting spray if anyone is interested! :P

Anyway..I hope this was helpful!

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
