Review: Colourpop Cosmetics Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick

Happy Monday beautiful's! Let's grab a cup of coffee and talk about the one beauty item that I cannot wait to get more of, liquid lipsticks. Okay, so let's think about around the end of May into June when Colourpop Cosmetics launched their own line of Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks. Here are the top three thoughts that crossed my mind.

1) How much is it?!

2) What are the color shades?!

3) HOW CAN I BUY THIS RIGHT NOW?!?!?!?

For hours, I researched on Youtube for any lip swatches of all the shades Colourpop was intending to release so that I could pick out the colors that I really wanted. If I had it my way I would have honestly bought the entire line because each was only $6 but of course I'm a broke college student and if I were to do that, no matter how amazing the price was, it seriously takes a toll on my wallet. So after hours of searching I narrowed down my choices to five that I thought I would wear often. 

But getting those five were a nightmare. The moment the liquid lipsticks launched on their website, it was impossible to get any order in. But I persevered on because that's what a makeup enthusiast (aka addict) does! I WANTED--nope NEEDED these liquid lipsticks and I didn't care how long it would take for me to get them. After probably two whole hours on the website, I finally got to place my order!

So the five liquid lipsticks that I purchased are Tulle, Bumble, Trap, Highball and LAX. These are the colors that I thought I would wear the heck out of. So please click on read more if you want to find out my thoughts on these Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks!

Review: Almay Color + Care Liquid Lip Balm

On the same day that I purchased the new L'oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder foundation I also decided to pick up the Almay Color + Care Liquid Lip Balm. I saw it in the Almay section of the makeup aisle and I contemplated whether or not I should buy it. At first glance I knew I was attracted to the packaging and the colors. So I decided why not give it a go since I had some preconceptions about it from other viewers. My mistake out of all this was that I thought it was a liquid lipstick, not a liquid lipbalm. So, when I went home to try it out I was super disappointed at the pigmentation and then proceeded to thoroughly read its description on the lip product itself. I felt so stupid and wondered where the heck did I hear that this was a liquid lipstick?! With a fresh new mindset, I proceeded on with my review. Here's swatches of the colors that I got. 

Review: L'oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder

I went to Target the other day and just like any makeup obsessed person, I was browsing through the makeup aisle not expecting to buy anything. But this is the downfall of all makeup lovers out there because in reality you will buy something new, regardless if it was in your budget or not. And that product for me is the L'oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder. It was perched high on the L'oreal section shelf and I was only able to find it after doing a couple rounds around the makeup aisle. I was excited because I had not heard about this product anywhere and I immediately picked it up. Now it comes in around 12 shades with a decent color range from light to dark tan and it was easy for me to find my shade. The price was fairly reasonable at $10.99. So let's check out some swatches.
