Mail haul~ Maybelline Eystudio

Mail call time~ :D

I received two packages in swaps from two lovely ladies. These took an exceptionally long time to arrive, waiting for them was a pain.. =( They look nearly 3 weeks to come in!



This one is from my girl A.

I wanted the Revlon Super Lustrous but my girl was kind enough to through in an E.L.F. concealer as well an a sample (:

Revlon Super Lustrous in Pink Afterglow.
I could have bought this but it was nice to receive something I like for something I didn't need but someone wanted. It makes the item seem so much sweeter (:

This gloss has a thick formula but isn't sticky and goes on smoothly. It lasts for around 5 hours but doesn't survive through meals. Pink Afterglow is appears bright in the tube but goes on a subtle pink shade. Has lot of shimmer and makes lips look super glossy ^~*
I love this colour because it has just the right amount of colour and sparkle, but it's not over the top. It actually looks quite natural on, which is great because I'm not a fan of bright lips. This glossie rocks.

E.L.F. concealer which unfortunately is not my shade. Above are two swatches, one blended in and other not.
I've got to stop ordering E.L.F. stuff, I keep getting the wrong shades! Someone call me when they finally make a face product perfect for Asian skin tones >=(

This concealer has a bit of a runny consistency, and is of medium-ish coverage. It's perfect for patting over small blemishes because it won't appear cakey or heavy on top of it. It has a slight orange undertone, which apparently is supposed to cancel out dark circles. The E.L.F. concealer has a orange scent and comes in a small tube, great for throwing in a purse or a pocket on-the-go!

From my girl J, you rock.

Milani and Sally Girl quads and Mary Kay samples!
Haven't tried these in a look yet but the green shadow on the Milani seems to be busted LOL. I couldn't get an colour on my fingers!

Just one more little package I got in the mail.
Oh.. what's this..?

Oh my goodness~!!!!
My Maybelline Eyestudio kit has finally arrived! Thank you, you guys are amazing.
Contains 4 mascara, 4 gel liners, 12 eyeshadow palettes and 10 duo shadows.
I'm having a lot of trouble finding time to properly blog (I'm supposed to be studying right now) but I'll find time after my exams and post reviews. And I'll look for my camera, maybe that can give my better quality photos. Thanks a lot again, Maybelline, WOMMA and Matchstick. You guys are so generous!

Best Drugstore Lipgloss

Best Drugstore Lipgloss

Some people are so picky about their lipglosses though. They want them super pigmented, sheer, sticky, smooth, with glitter, without shimmer, with fragrance, non scented, in a tube or in a jar! = =
Here, I'll try and cover a large variety of different lip glossies.




Milani Crystal Gloss



A good dupe for M.A.C. LipGlass, these contain just a hint of shimmer and smells lightly of vanilla! They have great pigmentation and last for a couple hours. Crystal Gloss goes on shiny but doesn't feel as sticky as LipGlass. It comes in a small tube, perfect for slipping into a pocket or a purse!


NYX Lipgloss with Mega Shine



Great pigmentation with good texture. These lipglosses are never sticky and in fact, seem to moisturize! High shine, nice shimmer with a 'Juicy Fruit' candy smell :D (some may not like the scent). NYX Lipgloss wears off after about an hour and isn't one of the longest lasting glossies out there.



Revlon Super Lustrous



Super Lustrous goes on lips smoothly but has a thick formula, is non-sticky and lasts for around 4 hours! Contains finely milled shimmer and has SPF 15! They have a good selection of colours, all of which look very natural and wearable. Super Lustrous contains a sweet scent and comes in a glass tube that looks very classy :D



E.L.F. Super Glossy Lip Shine



Great quality for the price and the gloss goes on super smooth. They're nicely pigmented, come in a wide array of colours and come in small little tubes; good for just tossing inside your purse.
Super Glossy comes with SPF 15 with only a hint of shimmer. Has a yummy grape smell ^^ As with every other E.L.F. product, these are sold for only a dollar!



L'Oreal Colour Juice



This lipgloss tube has a rounded applicator instead of the slanted tip that most lipglosses have. It goes on smooth and glossy and the colours are well pigmented. Contains a bit of shimmer and a sweet, candy scent. Some may say that Colour Juice is a good dupe for Lancome's Juicy Tubes!



Sally Hansen Diamond Lip Treatment



A thick but not too sticky gloss that lasts a long time. Moisturizes well and makes your lips look glossy. Diamond Lip Treatment comes in a variety of colours (with shimmer) that flatter the wearer's lips and give a beautiful shine. Comes in a long, sexy tube with a tiny brush applicator and smells slightly of coconut.


Chapstick Lip Moisturizer



'Why is there a lip balm in the lipgloss section?'
Well, sometimes a natural colour on your lips is better sometimes. This chapstick is incredibly moisturizing, makes lips really soft and has an SPF of 15! The vanilla scent that comes with it smells nice as well. Also, it can be layered under lipstick or used as a base to make lip gloss last longer. Stock up and keep them everywhere!
