Temptalia: NARS Blindfold & London Clinic Velvet Matte Lip Pencils

[NARS Blindfold & London Clinic Velvet Matte Lip Pencils]( NARS Blindfold Velvet Matte Lip Pencil ($27.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a dark, berry red with cooler undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage that applied evenly on the lips. The pencil felt smooth, velvety, and thin, which gave it a lightweight feel but made it "cling" a little compared to the typical lipstick. The color was still going strong after six hours of wear, though it started to feel a bit drying after five hours of wear. This shade also left a stain behind. The formula is supposed to be “long-lasting” with “rich” and “seamless color.” [Continue Reading…]( [Sephora Sun Safety Kit 2017 Now Available!]( Sephora Sun Safety Kit 2017 The 2017 Sun Safety Kit includes Sephora’s favorite sun care products that provide an array of sunscreen and safe self-tanning innovations for beautifully tanned, bronzed, and protected skin all year long.

[Stellar Beauty Dark Matter 02, Dark Matter 03, Dark Matter 04 Infinite Lipsticks]( Stellar Beauty Dark Matter 02 Infinite Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a deep, reddish plum with copper and gold pearl. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, which was buildable to full coverage with two to three layers. The consistency felt stiffer in the tube, but it applied fairly evenly, though I did use more pressure. The lipstick lasted well for five and a half hours, but I don't think it's a formula I'd say has all-day wear, just better-than-average wear (though this type of color often wears five to six hours as it is deeper). The formula is supposed to be [Continue Reading…]( [Sephora Spring 2017 Beauty Insider Sale]( The Sephora Spring Bonus Insider Shopping Event is an exclusive promotion offering 15% off all purchases for VIB Rouge and VIB members, and 10% off all purchases for all BI members.

The consistency was smooth, thin but not watery, and spread well across the lips, but the dry down emphasized the texture of my lips and appeared slightly "cracked" along some of my lip lines. It had opaque pigmentation that covered evenly, though, and it lasted for six and a half hours. I noticed some of the color started to flake off after six hours of wear, and it was somewhat drying. The Liquid Lipstick is supposed to be an [Continue Reading…]( [MAC Rosy Cheeks & Sweets for My Sweet Extra Dimension Blushes]( MAC Rosy Cheeks Extra Dimension Blush ($28.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark fuchsia pink with cool, fuchsia pearl. It had nearly opaque pigmentation, which was buildable to full coverage, if desired. The texture was soft, smooth, and just a smidgen dusty in the pan (but not applied); I felt like the softness made it easier to control and to grab less product, if desired, so it could be used as sheerer coverage levels without a lot of work. What was even more surprising was how blendable the color was on the cheeks--it melted and diffused as I applied [Continue Reading…]( [Best Full Coverage Foundation]( Estee Lauder Double Wear is the one I'd reach for currently -- great shade range and excellent coverage/wear.
