NARS Larger Than Life Lipgloss in Como

Hiyo!

This is just a quick post, I have quite a few things to review but haven't had the time as of late. I promised myself i would not let more than two weeks pass without posting and im in my third week now  >.< *slaps self on hand*

Well think of this as a filler post for the meantime until this weekend when i can do a meatier post as i have lots of goodies to talk about.

Lets get to it then:

 

We have to talk about this brush -___-

The brush is made of small stiff plastic feeling bristles and is not soft against the lips. I am quite disappointed in it because i have quite a few NARS glosses and they all have that soft velvety feeling applicator. I do not know why they chose to use these stiff bristles in this product but I don't like it at all.

Swatches with flash:

It is a very soft and subtle pink color, great for summer. And although you can see gold flecks in the swatches they are not that visible in real life. Added bonus, you do not feel them at all. I hate glosses that have the little flecks you can feel (and see) on your skin especially as the gloss fades but this gloss has neither negative aspect.

Pretty much the only negative thing i can say about this gloss is the applicator is stiff and not very pleasant. Other than that I love it.

 

MAC Cremesheen Lipglass in Narcissus and Pro Longwear lipcreme in Red Dwarf Swatches

Hellooo!

I haven't paid as much attention to MAC collections as i used to simply because it seems like there is a collection launched every other week and my wallet couldn't handle it lol. Also alot of the products seemed repetitous and only the packaging was new (my opinion, i may be wrong).

These two babies caught my eye however and i decided i had to have them. Without further ado let's start with Narcissus:

All the above pictures are taken in daylight with no flash. I love this color, its a pink/purpleish opaque color that definitely caters to my girly side.

Up next, Red Dwarf which is a "Pro longwear lip creme". I have recently been on a quest to find a red lipstick that i can fall head over heels over. Red Dwarf is not that lipstick, but it is a good start.

Definitely two great shades that i am going to be rocking on a regular basis.

 

And a quickie pic of my nails taken using my phone:

I'm wearing MAC Blueblood on my nails. LOVE.

Nyx Black Label Lipstick

I totally forgot that i bought a couple of lipsticks when i got my haul. I think that also tells you that i was not happy with the lipsticks after i swatched and tried them on. Basically i am just not a lipstick person, i think they can make me look older, and i am trying to stay as young as possible! lol. Don't get me wrong, there are people who seem to make the right lipstick choices so the lipstick compliments them (retailtherapy im talking about you! ^_^) and just enhances their look but for me i jus feel silly wearing them. Well enough of that, on to the pictures!

cute goth-like packaging

 

these are the 2 colors i got.I was going for brown shades that were "neutralish"

 

btw i think i accidentally switched the caps on the lipstick and then put the wrong shades in the box so the one on the left i THINK is really walnut not pecan. And the swatches on the site were obviously off because these colors were darker in person. ggrr! but that was still fine, they dont seem too dark, and they look brown right?

without flash

with flash

 

this is Walnut i believe. It was the darker of the 2. Looks alil red/pink toned when its on.

 

And this is pecan. More pink tone then brown.

 

So thats it. At least i didn't spend alot of money on these, they were $2 or $4 i believe plus i got the 25% discount so all in all i'm not too upset. I am going to try find someone to give them too as i honestly won't be using them again. If anybody wants them let me know (direct message me). And don't worry about it being unsanitiary, the trick is that you cut off the top part so you don't use any part that i've used.

Ciao for now ladies!
