Jordana Twist and shine balm stains review

 
 
 
Hello Ladies and gents,

Hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas/holiday!
SO excited because I have been trying some new products lately especially makeup of course hehehe.

Anyways.... I took a trip to my favorite store Walgreen's ;-) and decided to pick up some products and I couldn't pass buy the Jordana section. I have been noticing a lot of great reviews over the Jordana Twist and shine lip balm stains. I figured I would give them a shot since I have seen them a lot especially on my fellow IGers.

I picked up 2 colors Nude Chic and Terra Crave let me just say when I applied I was very impressed. I really loved the Terra Crave shade it has a mauve tone to it and a nice sheen glides on super smoothly and the shade is very true to color. The staying power is decent obviously it's not 24 hrs but it did stay on for a good amount of time and it did stain my lips. The Nude Chic was my least favorite reason being is because it had some chunks of shimmer or glitter however you want to call it. Some may like that however I do not because it felt grainy on my lips..EWW lol also the shade was too light for me it looked like I was a 80's reject girl ha ha. It did not stain the lips at all as the shade is way to light. I did mix it with Terra Crave and it looked quite lovely when mixed. Overall I am satisfied that I purchased the balm stains specifically the Terra Crave. I would buy the rest of the shades to try out and see what colors are a hit and miss for me. I would give this product a 3 out of 5 stars. I hope you enjoyed this review!

XOXO

Profusion Bare Palette review

Hello lovelies! 

So sorry I have been gone away for so so long. I hope everyone enjoyed their thanksgiving! So I wanted to do a quick review for you peeps on the Profusion Bare palette. I purchased it at my local Walgreens store for 5 dollars. When I first saw it I said oh cheetah print and when I looked inside it had a ton of neutral colors which are my fav! Anyways when I first swatched them I was pretty impressed for 5 bucks it was decent. This palette ranges from mattes to shimmers there are lighter shades and medium shades like Carmel and taupes even gold and copper. The colors are very nice. The lighter matte colors are not that great in this palette they are powdery and fade. As far as the shades that are darker matte/shimmer tend to have way more pigmentation and also blend like a dream. I really enjoy those the most they are very pretty. This palette wasn't a wow for me it's alright I wouldn't recommend anyone to purchase it because it isn't a Must HAVE! purchased it because I wanted to try it. I would give this 3 out of 5 stars. I think wet n wild makes the best drugstore shadows. Again my opinion ;) have a wonderful day loves xoxo.

L.A. Colors Pro Gel Top Coat

Hello My loves!

Hope you guys have been having a wonderful couple of weeks! Can't believe it's almost the end of October time is just flying! So anyways I wanted to do a review on the L.A. Colors gel top coat. I purchased this a few weeks ago at Walmart for about 1.50. I have been looking for a top coat that was similar to gel but for a good price. So when I saw this I was like ohhhh SNAG!!!






The consistency is that of a gel it is on the thicker side yet smooth enough of a formula to glide onto the nail. It also drys super fast and leaves your nails with a beautiful shine. I tried it out with different nail polishes also putting it to the test by doing dishes, laundry, and cleaning toilets ;-) (aka mom duties!) haha. Anyways I noticed my nail polish did not chip it stayed in place and started to slightly chip after day 4 which for me is not that bad. I usually chip a day or two after also I have been very rough on my nails with all the water etc. Overall I am very satisfied with this product to me its better than the Sally Hansen instadry top coat. I would say 3 1/2 out of 5 stars.

Hope y'all enjoyed this review!
xoxo

Maybelline fall collection lipstick

Hello ladies and gents! 

So a few weeks ago I finally got my hands on the maybelline fall collection lipsticks now there are 3 in total but I purchased the 2 I thought I would get more use out of. It was buy one get one 50% so I deff. Took advantage lol.

My thoughts?
For the price of the lipstick and the fact it's drugstore brand it's not bad at all. I love both colors they are perfect for fall and are pretty pigmented for drugstore brand. The lavendar voltage is a nice purple shade it's a nice deep lavendar color very pretty color and goes on smoothly. I would say for both lipsticks you would need to apply more than once to get the intensity of the color desired. The midnight plum is beautiful as well however it needs to be applied more than once or twice at least for me. It's a deep plum almost looks black at first but you can see the shades of purple in there. The staying power for these are decent I honestly feel like the vivids stay on way longer. Yet again these lippies are not matte they are more on the sheen side that's probobly why they don't stay as long. Over all I would rate these lippies a 3.5 out of 5 stars!
