Charcoal & Peach Look

Vapour Beauty

I was given the opportunity to test some products from Vapour Organic Beauty. To make this an easier read, I'll do a quick rundown on each product.

Vapour Beauty Mesmerize Eye Color Treatment in Storm


Ugh, I just realized the name on the image is misspelled, forgive me.

Pros:

• If you want a sheer wash of color, this will give you that.
• Storm would work well for a smokey eye

Cons:

• Didn't blend as smoothly as I would've liked
• It seemed to take more product than normal to get the desired results, perhaps I was doing something wrong.

Comments:
I'm kinda on the fence about this one. It has it's good points, but it also seemed a little difficult to work with. Maybe it's just me.

Vapour Beauty Lipstick/Lipgloss


Pros:

• Gloss is a nice sheer juicy pink w/plenty of shine. Lipstick gave my lips a nice & very subdued berry red color.

Cons:

• Lipstick application wasn't as smooth as I would've liked.
• Both lip products have a strange, but tolerable smell.

Comments:
Overall, I do like both products, but I like the gloss better. It went on much more smoothly w/a nice finish. I don't care for the smell of either product though.

Vapour Beauty Illusionist Concealer


Pros:

• Decent Coverage
• Easier to apply & blend than the lipstick & cream shadow

Cons:

• Don't expect this to cover up a bruise, but it will soften the colors, making them less noticeable.

Comments:
Not bad overall, blends nicely, softens bruise colors, etc.

Final Comments:
Well, that's it. I think out of the whole bunch I'm happiest w/the gloss, but the concealer ain't bad either. Hope this helps anyone who wanted to know more about Vapour Beauty's products!

NYX Eyeshadow Base

Click image to enlarge

Have any of you heard about NYX's new Eyeshadow Base? It's $6 ea. & it comes in 3 colors/finishes, each for a specific purpose. Make your brights even brighter by using the white base or use the pearl to intensify any shimmer. They also have a regular skintone shade for everything else. I'm curious to know if any of my readers have tried these. If yes, what do you think? Love it? Hate it? Feel free to leave a comment about it! :) - Click!

e.l.f. Lipstain

I was perusing e.l.f.'s website & I stumbled across their lipstain. This looks interesting. Has anyone tried this &, if yes, what do you think? I wonder if I'd like it as much as my Hard Candy stain or not. Oh, btw, I will be out of state for a few days visiting family. So, no posts for a little bit. :( But, I'll be back soon!

Rose Inspired Look

This was requested by the blogger behind mylanqolia.wordpress.com
Since I generally don't use red eyeshadow, this one was really hard for me,
as you'll probably be able to tell right away, lol. Maybe that was my problem,
I shouldn't have been so "red-centric". Oh well.
