Kylie Leo Liquid Lipstick and Lord Metal Lipstick

 

 

These limited edition Kylie Cosmetics liquid lipsticks were hard to ge but I was able to get the Leo lipkit and Lord metal liquid lipstick on the 2nd round of restock but not the minis. Initially, I talked myself into only getting the mini set which includes 6 colors, but they sold out like.literally. in a minute, not cute! Today is the 4th and final round of restock which is on her actual Birthday. Will you be trying to buy anything? Well, I give up, as the quality really is similar to Colourpop and the hefty $8.95 shipping is LEOdicrous.

So I received Kylie Leo & Lord yesterday 8/9 (ordered on 8/4) , and prior to receiving them I watched a youtube review of how Leo wore. Usually, I am too lazy to apply the lip liner, but with these darker colors and per the YT review the liner will help alleviate some of the unevenness. Also layering it too much does get uncomfortable, and lip movement is a bit restricted. The lord metallic liquid lipstick looks more like a bronzy gold and is something I would never wear alone, I would mix it or use it as a topper. The skeptical part of me did check to see if “Gold” was an ingredient listed on the box, and it is. In my opinion, Colourpop metallics wear better and has a way better price point. Funny thing is Lord topped on Leo is a real good dupe for Reign! (See pictures below) I think this is the 3rd and last order I will make from Kylie, till maybe when she opens her storefront in LA.

List is below: Metallic Liquid Lipstick & Swatch Video is also below

Whoa, my collection of metallic liquid lipsticks is getting a little out of control. Ironically, I am not a huge fan of the metallic liquid lipstick but I was curious to find a good formula and a metallic that is mixable or can be used as a topper or a subtle lip highlight. Here goes my mini reviews.

  1. NYX – Speed of Light (Gloss) $7.50 & Galactic (not swatched, but videos are on the bottom)
    • ★★★★
    • Is a really pretty pigmented lip gloss, it is heavy and thick but so beautiful for pictures and a fun costume look
  2. Colourpop.com – Man Eater
    • ★★★
    • Is another dupe for Kylie Reign but slightly lighter, comfortable, nice as a topper.
  3. Milani – Chromatic Addict $8.99
    • ★★★★
    • Long lasting, comfortable, feels like nothing, and smooth transfer proof application. The shineyness  accentuates the lip lines after talking
  4.  Kylie – King K
    • ★★★
    • Goldie color actually looks more GOLD than Lord metallic liquid lipstick (just got Lord today and it looks bronzy gold)
  5. Colourpop.com – Salt
    • ★★
    • Uneven, would rather use to mix or as a lip topper
  6. Mollycosmetics.com – 24K $16
    • ★★★
    • Looks really pretty and gold at first, but after talking it gets flakey and the metallic gold finish is turned into grayish-ness.
  7. Colourpop.com – Lights Out
    • ★★
    • Uneven, would rather use to mix or as a lip topper
  8. Colourpop.com – Flitter $6
    • ★★
    • Good enough dupe to Heir, same uneven application, not transfer proof.
  9. Kyliecosmetics.com – Heir $18 
    • ★★
    • Uneven application, not transfer proof, streaky, and doesn’t look good on my complexion.
  10. Colourpop.com – Zebra
    • ★★★★
    • Is a better metallic in my opinion than the newest Colourpop metallics (in this list) applies even,
  11. Milani – Materalistic
    • ★★★★★
    • Long lasting, comfortable, feels like nothing, and smooth transfer proof application. Best metallic liquid lipstick formula from my collection. Great dupe for Kylie Reign.
  12. Kylie – Reign
    • ★★★
    • The darker metallics all apply better, feels comfy, long lasting. Milani Materialistic is a good dupe.



Colourpop Super Shock Eye Shadow Swatches – Whole Collection 

Colourpop Super Shock Eye Shadow Swatches – Whole Collection

Another whole collection of Colourpop Super Shock Shadow swatches. My favorite from the eyeshadows are the metallic ones, I am not a huge fan of the mattes. If you are new to using colourpop shadows, the best way I find is using my ring or pinky finger to apply then use a brush to blend. This is the best way I find to get optimal pigment on my lids. If you do pack too much on, and it being a cream shadow, it can get crusty unfortunately. Layer just enough, and don’t forget to close the cap tight or it will dry out.

  1. Amaze
  2. Blaze
  3. Coconut
  4. Dance Party
  5. Dare
  6. Eye Candy
  7. Flower Shop
  8. Fringe
  9. Game Face
  10. Get Lucky
  11. Glitterati
  12. Glow Stix
  13. Hammered
  14. Ibiza
  15. La La
  16. Liberty
  17. Nillionaire
  18. Porter
  19. Puppy Love
  20. Slave2pink
  21. Smash
  22. So Quiche
  23. Sugar
  24. Tea Party
  25. Telepathy
  26. UN

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipsticks Swatches & Quick Review

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipsticks Swatches & Quick Review

by imeltformakeup ♥ 0 Leave a Comment

 

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick Swatches : Kathyrn, Heathers, Ashton, Pure Hollywod, Naked, Crush, and Midnight on NC15-NC20 Skin. Gold is Molly Cosmetics 24K Liquid Lipstick

Slowly I was able to get the newest colors when they came back in stock. The most recent ABH liquid lipstick purchase  was Midnight (Black,. Paint the Royal Blue was also $10 but I did not get that one). It was on sale at Macy’s, they were running a Black Friday promotion in July  and it was only $10 with free shipping, I could not pass the deal. When swatched on my arm the black is nice and even, but if you rubbed it will slightly come off. Most good liquid lipsticks when swatched on my arm do not budge, as I wear it all day till bed time. I don’t worry about it smearing all over the place and keep it as a temporary arm tattoo for the day. Prior to getting Midnight I got the color Ashton. Of course, I got lured in with all the social media pictures on Instagram. Ashton is a pretty warm terracota color when first applied, after an hour or so it turned into a reddish dark bricky color. I wanted it to look like how it looks when first applied.

With most of the Anastasia Liquid Lipsticks pictured, they make my lips look wrinkly and feel dry. Kathryn also got a little darker with wear but did stay on my lips almost all day with no wear, but it looked a little dry and shriveled. I was swayed away from buying their Liquid Lipsticks 2 years ago after I had Electric Coral and Craft crumble, crust, and crack on my lips. This time I thought I give it try again because Norvina said they are reformulated, and supposedly even a 3rd reformulation. Anyways I rarely reach for the Anastasia liquid lipsticks, maybe because there are other colors and brands that complement my skin and comfortably long-wear.

The gold outline is Molly Cosmetics in 24K Liquid Lipstick. The gold is amazingly vibrant, but if touched or wiped it starts to crust off. On the lips it is the same, if I keep talking it just kinda flakes off and loses its Metallic look. It is a fun liquid lipstick to use for costume parties, halloween, lip art etc.

This is the rest of my Ofra liquid lipsticks I ordered from Ipsy Offers and HauteLook. It seems like ordering from  final sale deals, there is usually something different or wrong. With Ipsy  they sent me the wrong order, but corrected it right away and let me keep the wrong items. My order came in the usual pink foil bubble wrap. With hautelook they just dumped all the liquid lipsticks in a fairly big box with no cushion such as bubble wrap or similar it ended up causing dents on the liquid lipsticks. Shipping however was faster than the expected 3-4weeks stated on their website.

The liquid lipstick packaging is smaller than theit newest packaginb, some had white labels stickers on them, caps were dented, name label stickers were coming off, their name scratched off the bottle already when received, and different color logo printed. On the other hand, they said there is more product in this travel friendly size. The liquid lipsticks quality of product feel and smells the same as my last order with Ofra’s website.

Review coming.. to be continued

Smashbox Always On Matte Liquid Lipstick Swatches & Review

Smashbox Always On Matte Liquid Lipstick Swatches & Review

by imeltformakeup ♥ 5 Comments

I am a big fan of indie brands for liquid lipsticks because of their range of color choices and price point, but being a gullible and makeup addict I am I went and bought some of SmashBox’s new Always On Matte Liquid Lipsticks. I’ve been seeing youtube videos and pictures on instagram with decent reviews, so that lured me into a little splurge. The colors I wanted to were Stepping Out, Chill Zone, Girl Gang, and Miss Conduct. Stepping Out a nudie brown color was sold out on smashbox.com and sephora.com; and I decided not to get Chill Zone because $24 for a fun color is not worth wearing it a couple of times. The best part of getting these liquid lipsticks was Sephora sent me an email that if I spend $50 I get this little cute set of YSL mini set of lipstick, liner and gloss! I was sold because I have heard people rave about their lipsticks. Along with my order I redeemed 500 VIB pts for a Laura Mercier set which included the translucent powder, foundation primer, matte radiance baked powder, rose nourishing oil, and last but not least a lip gloss. One last thing I did was subscribe to Sephora’s $10 a year for 2day shipping, that is an awesome deal! My ordered arrived 2 business days later, gotta love fast shipping.

Now on to the reviews:

Colourpop Metallics Liquid Lipstick Review & Kylie Metals Comparison

Colourpop Metallics Liquid Lipstick Review & Kylie Metals Comparison

by imeltformakeup ♥ 2 Comments

Metallic Metallic on my lip who is the mirrortastic of them all, you are Colourpop, YOU!

Yet again, I fall into the need to buy every Colourpop’s new releases (which is almost every week). When there is a launch drought which is no longer than a week, I have the habit of just perusing theit online store..then buy… buy, buy, buy! 

Ok, this time I ordered Colourpop’s Ultra Metallic Liquid lipsticks ($6 – all 4 colors in Zebra, Man Eater, 3-Way, and Kween) out of curiosity to see how they compare to Kylie’s Metal Matte Liquid Lipsticks ($18 + $8.95 s&H in US) I am sincerely pleasantly surprised at how pigmented and metallic they are! IMO way better than Kylie’s and for such a good price. (See video at the bottom for lip swatches of all colors)

Colourpop Ultra Metallic Liquid Lipstick – 3 Way: My favorite of them all, it’s a pretty plum gold with pinkish undertones.

Colourpop Ultra Metallic Liquid Lipstick – Zebra: Coppery Plummish Brown on me, kinda like Zebra color lips, without the metallic lol

Colourpop Ultra Metallic Liquid Lipstick – Man Eater: Goldie bronze/Rose Gold. It’s like you ate a bunch of new pennies..not men.

Colourpop Ultra Metallic Liquid Lipstick – Kween: Reddish Gold. Said in a British accent: for the Queen of of Hearts.

  • Price $6   
  • Made in USA
  • Size: 2.85 g/0.10 oz
  • Long Lasting: Yes
  • Non-Drying: Feels comfy
  • Non-Peeling:  No peeling
  • Transfer-proof: no
  • Color Choices: only 4 colors at this time
  • Non-Staining: Stains a little bit, easy to remove
  • Scent: No Scent
  • Applicator: Short doefoot applicator, is a little hard to get the clean edges of the lip. Each bottle varied in quality of the doefoot, from fluffy, beaten up and almost lost underneath product.
  • Consistency: Pigmented. Chunky with almost like smashed lipstick textured. Had to swirl the tube to get product for 1 of the tubes
  • Website: www.colourpop.com
  • Physical Store: None
  • Ships From: Oxnard, CA USA
  • Packaging: Their usual liquid lipstick in white packaging but the ends are in light brown
  • Notes:
    I Love how pigmented these are, they are super comfortable that I forget I am wearing it. It works great as a matte liquid lipstick topper or as a lip highlighter. The colors are beautiful. I think I will need to get some backups in there next restock (#2 restock) They did say they were limited, yet already had a restock and planning on the 2nd restock.
  • Compared to Kylie’s metals’ Heir was my least favorite because it was streaky, sheer, and didn’t show up well. I think colourpop’s version is a better kylie formulation but not top notch. As for dupes I think Colourpop Zebra is a good dupe for Reign, and Man Eater is siblings to King K. (see picture below for comparison)
