Julep Light On Your Lips Lipstick Reveiw

Julep Light On Your Lips - Lipstick Review

Very mixed feelings about this item. I have 3 lipsticks from this collection. Shades Can-Can which is a chili pepper red, Twirl which is a creme hot pink, and Wink which is a softer tea rose shade.
This is what Julep has to say about this collection.
• Glides on easily to hug the contours of your lips
• Stays in place with no feathering
• Hydrates with Shea butter, antioxidant-rich botanical extracts, and Julep’s Power Cell Complex™

It does appeal nicely.

I didn't have any problems with the pink shades, but the rich red Can-Can feathered horribly. I was constantly checking and doing clean up. However I did not try it with a liner.

I did not find this hydrating. After each us my lips wear very dry and there was an actual drying sensation while wearing the product that was uncomfortable.

The colour pay off was really nice and the packaging design was pleasing.

This lip stick does not stay put or wear well for a long time. The colour at first is lovely but it transfers easily and the colour fades with wear.

Did you try it? Your thoughts?

Faves Velour Lashes, Ardel, Red Cherry, House of Lashes.

Highlighters!!

Must must must for holidays even nuetraul looks need a good dose of light and shimmer. My favs for the season are The Balm's Mary Luminizer, Mac Soft and Gentle, and Becca's Rose Gold.

Lips!!!

Shimmery pale glosses, warm nudes, and dark as you dark reds and berries! All are musts but the most important lip product of the season is a good balm!! Before bed I use something thick and really nourishing, and something that keeps me soft and locks in moisture during the day against the cold, wind, and horrid dry heat indoors.

Faves, Josie Maron Argan Lip Treatment.

Lastly nothing gets you ready for the holidays like glittering like a dazzling tree! Keep the jewellry sparklying! Weither it's with a comfy sweater and leggings, or a hot cocktail dress tis' the season to be blingy!

Just a quick guide line. Have your fav's in these staple items. Pick what you love and have fun with it!

The Balm Cosmetics Meet Matt(e) Hughes Long-Lasting Lipstick Review

The Balm Cosmetics Meet Matt(e) Hughes Long-Lasting Lipstick
For those of you who are subscribef to Ipsy you will have received a sample of one of the shades from The Balm Cosmetics Meet Matt(e) Hughes Liquid Lipstick line.

I love this product, I really enjoy lipquid lipsticks for a Matte lip over a standard lipstick. They are far less drying and The Balm has made a great one. The application is lovely it stays liquid long enough to evenly apply, and dries quickly and there is no stickiness at all. I had no flaking with this product and stood up well against eatting, transfers on cups, and kissing. The range of shades is fair sized and has something for all seasons, styles, and skin tones. The only thing that is missing is anything really wild (ie oranges, blues, purples, etc.)

Here's what The Balm Cosmetics have to say about their product.

Introducing a truly loyal long-lasting liquid lipstick—Meet Matt(e) Hughes. With eight dreamy shades to choose from, you can take your pick from this hopelessly devoted collection. This long-wearing formula has a comfortable matte finish with no commitment issues. These matte vanilla mint liquid lipsticks are stuck on you without feeling clingy!

Have you used this product? Did you love it? What was your favourite shade?
