Magnolia Make Up Big Easy Collection

Swatches: Nyx Matte Lipsticks

Posted on December 23, 2011 by Allie Posted in Show & Tell, Swatches | Leave a comment

I’ve had these babies for a little while now, and I figured it was time to share my thoughts on them – sort of.

These matte lipsticks had their NYX debut around early-mid 2011 (my brain is school logged, I cant remember the exact timing – sorry). Ever since I saw them I knew I was going to have to get my hands on them somehow because I love matte lipstick. Matte lips are beautiful in rich and playful colors, but to make a good one takes practice. Many mattes either fall in two catagories; too drying, & not “matte” enough, causing it to look more like a satin then a true matte. My criteria for a good matte lipstick is one that is truly matte, without being too drying (and all the rest of the stuff I look for in a good lippy such as longevity and price point).

This post is strictly swatches, as sadly I have not worn them on lip for a substantial amount of time to give fair judgement on them. I can however say that …

 

  • Some of these are more matte then others. Some of the colors remind me more of a satin finish.
  • out of the 15 of these that I own, my fav colors are Strawberry Daiquiri & Shocking Pink
  • Shocking Pink is close, but not a dupe to Mac’s wildly popular Candy Yum Yum lipstick. It actually reminds me of if Candy Yum Yum & Gladiola from the (Mac) Dame Edna collection a few years back had a baby.

 

 Check out the swatches after the jump!

Mac Me Over Show & Tell

Posted on August 26, 2011 by Allie Posted in Show & Tell | Leave a comment

Hi everyone, long time no post eh? Well we’re trying super hard to get our acts together lol.

Let me compensate with this juicy little haul from the Mac Me Over collection. When I say little, I mean little. I perchased four things, from a collection with over 30 items. Yay me - budgetista!

First, lets start with some hard facts, MAC has increased the price of their shadows from $14.50 to $15.00 (BOO!). Now, this may not seem like a lot, after all its only 50 cents, but as someone who has seen MAC shadows come from $11.00 to now $15.00 it makes me want to shed a few tears. Its not like the quality is going up with the price. If anything, I long for the old mac formulas and finishes. Let me digress before I start going off topic too much.

This is not necessarily a “review” of the products, as I have not worn them on face yet. This is more like a show and tell if you would.

I’m a little under the weather, so no eye or lip swatches on my face. Sorry about that.

Anyway, I got three of the single eyeshadows, and one lipstick.
