Temptalia: The Day in Beauty | May 20, 2017

[What brands are most consistent in quality?]( Anastasia, Bite Beauty, ColourPop, Make Up For Ever, and Tom Ford all came to mind. They've all had a few misses, but I feel like, usually, they're quite good (or in line with what I'd expect from the brand, even if not technically perfect based on claims). [Chanel Medium Deep Les Beiges Healthy Glow Luminous Colour]( Chanel Medium Deep Les Beiges Healthy Glow Luminous Colour ($58.00 for 0.42oz.) is a medium brown with warm, yellow undertones and a golden sheen. It had medium, buildable color payoff (up to mostly opaque coverage) that applied evenly to bare skin. While I had some trouble genuinely building up color and getting the product to "stick" to bare skin with a few shades, this shade applied easily. The consistency was smooth, silky, and still a little powdery in the pan like the others, but it blended out nicely and did not lose its intensity unless I wanted it to (and [Continue Reading…]( [Bite Beauty #098, 048, 046, 100 Lip Pencils]( Bite Beauty #098 The Lip Pencil ($18.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark purple with warm, pink undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had medium, buildable coverage (up to semi-opaque) that applied fairly evenly to lips. The consistency was smooth and just creamy enough to be able to blend the color by pressing my lips together if used all over the lips. The color wore nicely for just over six and a half hours and was non-drying. I think it would work best with Amuse Bouche shades: Eggplant (lighter, warmer), Dragonfruit (lighter, brighter) see comparison swatches. The Lip Pencil [Continue Reading…]( [NARS Luster & Torrid Liquid Blushes]( NARS Luster Liquid Blush ($30.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is a medium orange with warm undertones and a mostly matte finish. I expected a lot more shimmer, since the powder version of this shade has it. It had a thin, spreadable consistency that was a little runny but ended up being a lot easier to blend out and apply to the skin than I expected. It had semi-sheer to semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that lasted for eight and a half hours on me. The new formula is supposed to "effortlessly glide on skin for a lasting glow" where "one pump delivers [Continue Reading…]( [Week in Review | May 13th through May 19th]( Happy Saturday!
