NYX Cosmetics Liquid Suede Metallic Liquid Lipstick in Pure Society

Hey guys! I really need to stop promising to regularly update this blog because with how crazy, unpredictable, horrible, and lovely life has been for the past few months I've continued to need to focus on myself and my future which consequently has left little physical or mental time for this blog.  However things have been a bit better lately and as a result....here is an update! From now on the only thing I can promise is that I haven't forgotten about this little project and I will continue to bring you updates on makeup whenever I am able.

Amazingly an Ulta has opened in my tiny rural hometown which of course required a visit.  One of the items I picked up was one of NYX's new liquid suede metallic liquid lipsticks. 

I chose the color pure society because, well, look at it! This shade is an absolutely gorgeous metallic berry and I am so in love.  When I put this one I feel like this color was made for me.  It goes so well with my skin and the metallic effect is purely magical.  However while this color is beautiful....DO NOT EAT WITH THIS ON.  Oh my goodness, I had a breakfast sandwich while wearing this and I ended up with berry lipstick everywhere except on my lips.  It was on my chin, my nose, my sandwich, and all around my mouth. It was a mess.....

I honestly wasn't expecting this to happen as it does not transfer when kissing your hand but add the tiniest bit of oil into the equation and this lipstick is destroyed.

Overall I love this color and I love the price, I am just severely limited in when I can wear it as it cannot involve eating of any kind.

Jamberry Silver Floral

Four months ago when I attempted to apply my first ever Jamberry nail wrap I had a very very abysmal time.  It was wrinkly and horrible and I felt really discouraged.  Little did I know that I had started with a metallic finish wrap, which are the absolute hardest to apply.  Now its been four months and I wanted to reshow you Silver Floral, over the same nail polish as last time so you can see how nice metallics can actually look, haha!

This wrap is so gorgeous especially over dark polishes.  Like last time this is Zoya's Belinda.  The dark makes the silver shine so wonderfully, and it really catches the eye.  I love this wrap and is at the moment my favorite clear one that I've used.

Here is a comparison, my current attempt on the left and my first ever attempt on the right.  Hopefully you can see that my left attempt is barely attached at the base, there are wrinkles all up the side, and a large one at the tip.  This wrap lasted about two days.  However now I have found that the baggy method, where you pull down tightly with a baggy over the nail while you heat, makes applying metallics as easy as any other type of wrap.  It gets out wrinkles that won't come out with your finger or a cuticle pusher and it really helps seal down the edges.  I may make my own application video soon to show you all how I like to apply my wraps.

Colourpop Cosmetics Super Shock Eye Shadow in Liberty and I Heart This

When I placed my Colourpop order for the 4 Ultra Matte lipsticks I wanted I needed to put a few more things in my cart to get free shipping so of course I had to give their eye shadows a try!  I heard some good things about their Super Shock shadows and while I like my lips matte I tend to prefer my eyes to obnoxiously sparkle. Oh boy do these deliver.

I decided to get Liberty, a very metallic silver and I <3 This, a shimmery taupe.

Yes I <3 This does have the same name as the pink lipstick I swatched a while back.  It confused me too at first when I was looking up swatches. These swatches are with two coats over no primer.

Liberty is basically tin man silver. It is intense, its shimmery, and its oh so metallic. I love it. It really makes my eyes pop and while it is an intense true silver, I don't think it is all that crazy looking with a bit of a dark matte shadow blended into the crease. It provides a very wearable pop of metal! The formula itself is like butter.  You apply these using the finger so all it takes is to lightly swipe your finger in the shadow and then dab it on the lid.  

I didn't do my whole lid with I <3 This because this is the way I see myself wearing it most often, at the inner corner blended into another sparkly pop of color.  It is much more neutral and less intense and metallic than Liberty, but that also makes it an amazing every day shadow.  I was hoping it would be a bit more on the grey side, instead I think it is much golder than I was thinking.  I still think it looks great on me though so I will definitely be getting use out of it!

Overall these shadows are great and I will definitely be buying more if I ever make another Colourpop order!

OCC Lip Tar in Technopagan

Oh yes, I have wanted this lip tar since it was announced.  My mom is a wonderful lady and bought this for me to feed my purple lip obsession. This is also my first full size lip tar!

This lip product makes me feel so amazing.  Its purple with a blue iridescence and it's just so perfect and beautiful and if I wasn't sick I would be wearing this every day. I love the little brush that comes with it too. As with most lip tars it has great staying power and I didn't notice too much bleeding, but I will probably be lining my lips with a clear lip liner when I wear this anyway.

And here is another picture because love. <3
