Small Makeup Haul

Hello Everyone! This is my first post on my blog. I would like to do a small review on the YSL lipsticks that I have purchased and the Makeup Forever Aqua Cream. I have always wanted to try these beautiful lipstick out. I received a small sample from Sephora of the new YSL Rogue Volupte Shine and I loved the colors that were sent to me. I knew I had to buy one for myself, but as I was looking at the colors I couldn't help it but purchase 2! :)

  Rogue Volupte Shine
 Shade: 12 Corail Incandescent

This is a beautiful red coral color, the color has a tint of red and orange in it. I have never tried YSL's Rogue Volupte so I cannot compare with it. This lipstick has good packaging, I love the gold and I prefer this over the YLS Rogue Volupte Sheer lipsticks. I did not like the silver packing too much. When I put the lipstick on the shine does last 3-4 hours, even when the shine is gone, the color is still stained to your lips. Another plus to this lipstick is that it applies on smoothly and it is pretty moisturizing! It does not dry up my lips, I love it! It has a creamy texture to help with the smooth application. This lipstick is has good pigmentation, its not too dark, but it does its job of staining your lips with the color. Sometimes I do not like my lips too pigmented so I just use use one layer of this lipstick and it gives me a tint of red to my lips without overdoing it. I almost forgot to mention that these lipstick does have a small scent to it. Its a very sweet scent to it, So if you do not like scented lipsticks, I'm not so sure how much you will like this smell :P Also I have a warmer skintone so therefore this lipstick does look a little more red on my lips.

Overall I think it is a good splurge if you are debating whether you should get it because of the price!

YSL Volupte Shine 
Shade 14: Corail In Touch

I am not sure if you can tell but I am developing a thing for coral like lipstick! lol. The formula is the same so of course you can refer back to the review above about texture and pigmentation. This is a beautiful coral lipstick, it has more of a orange feeling to it when you look at it. When I put it on my lips, its very good for a daytime wear during the spring and summer time. In order to 

give you a better idea of the colors I have provided a swatch image below with my wrist.

Makeup Forever Aqua Cream 

Shade 13

As you can see from the boxed image, it says that it an be use for the eyes and cheeks, I personally do not like shimmer on my cheeks so I have no tried it on my cheeks. I really like the color of this because I can use it for my lids and then use another color on the outer corner of my eyes to smoke it out a bit. It works really well with any dark colors. It can also be used as just a single color if you are looking to do something simple. It comes with quite a bit of product in the pot, so you do not have to worry about not having your moneys worth. This shadow has a very creamy and light texture to it. It does not feel heavy or thick at all when it is being put on the lids. It also dries very fast so the color just stays put, which is pretty awesome unless you make a boo boo. The color was a bit sheer when I first applied it but I am not sure if it is because this is fairly a light color. The color is buildable though.

What I did not like about this shadow though is that I have to use my fingers to apply it to my eyelids. The first time I used it, I was not quite use to using my fingers to apply shadow onto my lids. You are not just dabbing it onto your lids, you have to spread and spread it evenly as well. If you are use to this, then it should be fine. It says that you can use your brush to apply this but the texture of this is pretty creamy that I actually don't want to use my brush with it. So if you have tried it with a brush let me know! Also when I opened the pot, I immediately smelled a plastic like smell to it.. I am not too found of this smell..  I am still going to keep this product even though I am not too found of using my fingers to apply it. It has very good pigmentation and the color does last all day. I love that it has a light shimmer to it, and it is not too heavy. Its good for natural day to day makeup and easy to switch up to a night time look!

Overall I would buy this, if you can live with the plastic like smell, it lives up to the long lasting wear, no crease or run with a highly pigmented color that can be built on.

  

Thats all I have for now with my makeup haul! Enjoy and thank you for stopping by!
Take care :)
