Apricot Eyes - Colourpop Viper Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick Review!

Apricot Eyes 
Colourpop Viper Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick  Review


This look is inspired by Apricots and fall colors. This year I have been very inspired by orange and berry shades, especially around this time of year. This look features a orange smokey eye with touches of burgundy and dark brown along with a golden highlight. I followed up with this beautiful Colourpop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick in the shade Viper to bring out the purple shades in my shirt. The inner corner highlight is Colourpop's Super Shock Eyeshadow in the shade Fringe, which matches beautifully with the necklace I paired with it.
Hope you enjoy this fall inspired look :)

Colourpop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick in Viper Review:

A few months ago I received Viper as a gift with purchase after making my very first Colourpop order. I was very excited to try it being that the swatches showed it as a gorgeous raspberry/plum shade that is perfect for fall.
The things I like about this lipstick is how opaque it is. This lipstick in particular only needs one coat to be opaque on the lips and is not streaky or patchy when applied. I also love the Colourpop lip wand and found the doe foot applicator to be very precise and easy to use. It gave me the crisp lines that I was looking for, unlike a lot of liquid lipstick applicators. It reminds me a lot of the Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick's doe foot applicator, which is a favorite of mine. It's also only $6 which is a wonderful price.

As for what I don't like about this lipstick is how drying it is. There is no way around to making this extremely comfortable on the lips. It didn't flake while wearing it, but it made my lips feel like the Sahara Desert until I took it off. It wasn't unbearable by no means, but I definitely could feel it on my lips so be aware of that. Another disadvantage to this lipstick is that it stains horribly. You will have a medium pink stain to your lips for around a day.

To wear this lipstick comfortably I would recommend exfoliating your lips beforehand. You can easily make a DIY scrub mixing an oil (such as olive oil or coconut oil) with brown sugar. I would also apply a lip balm heavily for 15-20 minutes before wearing this lipstick. Make sure to wipe it off before application of the lipstick. My favorite lip balm as of now is the Smith's Rosebud Lip Salve in the original flavor/scent. By doing these steps I feel it decreased the dryness of the lipstick and made it more comfortable while wearing it all day. If you feel it is getting too dry you could also apply a lip gloss over it, but that will get rid of it being a matte formula. 

Would I repurchase? Yes I would. I want to try more Colourpop liquid lipsticks in the future due to the price point and wide variety of colors available. I would recommend reading reviews on each individual shade before purchasing.

Scenic City Cosmetics Review and Swatches

Scenic City Cosmetics Review and Swatches by Lethal Kitten Hello! I recently tried out Scenic City Cosmetics on Etsy. This is my first time trying out a cosmetic brand on Etsy, and I must say I'm super impressed. Scenic City Cosmetics is inspired by things you can see and experience in the Chattanooga, Tennessee area. All the names of her shadows are very creative and you can definitely tell they are inspired by the area in which she lives.  This is the packaging in which the shadows arrived in. The shadows themselves were individually put in small zip-lock bags and were bubble wrapped tightly! They all came perfect to me with no damage. This packaging really caught my eye, and I love how it has a cute rustic look to it as well. I really love how Scenic City Cosmetics pays close attention to detail with the packaging. My dad actually commented saying how nice it looked as well, especially since a lot of brands don't package things as nicely as this.

Colourpop No Filter Foundation Review - Fair 05 - The Lightest Shade

Colourpop No Filter Foundation Review Fair 05 - The Lightest Shade Hey guys! I hope you are doing well! I recently tried out the lightest shade in the brand new Colourpop No Filter Foundation. I also picked up the No Filter Concealer at this time as well since I have not tried it! In the foundation I picked up shade Fair 05 which is the lightest that they offer. In the No Filter Concealer I selected Fair 02 and Fair 00 (which is the white). When selecting my foundation shade I used their foundation matching guide that tells you which shade from Colourpop corresponds with pre-existing foundations (such as Estee Lauder Double Wear or Fenty Pro Filter). When selecting my shade I personally went off the Fenty Pro Filter foundation since this foundation had a shade that matched my skin tone for sure. Below is my detailed review and thoughts on the Colourpop No Filter Foundation as well as the Colourpop No Filter Concealer. In my review I go through my application process as well. Ha

B True Beauty Graceful Beauty Water Hydrating Toner Review

B True Beauty Graceful Beauty Water Hydrating Toner Review Recently I tried out the Graceful Beauty Water Hydrating Toner by B True Beauty. What I find interesting about B True Beauty is that their whole line of products are 100% organic, made with renewable resources, and cruelty free.  In the last year I have started using 100% organic skincare products and have noticed a big difference in using them. My skin reacts a lot better to organic products and they give me more visually noticeable results faster. If you have never tried an organic skincare item I would definitely recommend trying one out, you will be impressed! After using this Graceful Beauty Water Hydrating Toner I noticed my skin became more radiant and healthy looking. It also diminished my redness significantly as well as sooth my dry skin. I also have eczema currently on the sides of my face and this did not irritate them in the slightest and actually made it feel a lot better after spraying this to
