House of Beauty Lip Hybrids

Since becoming so active on Instagram, I have discovered even more indie makeup brands. As you would know, I absolutely adore eye shadows, but surprisingly, I was drawn to an online store selling only lip products. Actually known as lip hybrids, these were different to any lip product I had used in the past.

 Owner, Lyn explains best on her website "It's not as liquified as a gloss, but not completely solid to be a lipstick. It is a beautiful creamy mixture, which makes a high quality lip hybrid that is also buildable, and usually has a staying power between 4-8 hours. 

 It is highly pigmented that a little dab goes a long, long way for full coverage. We also offer unique colours to fit all of your different personalities.

 All creamy glosses are hand-made with love, 100% natural and are exclusive fully pigmented lip colours that come in a 5 ml jar."

 Now when I purchased, the brand was called Premium Vanity. The product quality is the same, there's just been a change of name to House of Beauty..I do like this name!
The lip hybrids come in small plastic jars.
I bought 10 shades, and even at that number, it was really difficult to narrow down what I wanted.

I guess the closest thing I can compare the consistency to, is more of a lip cream, like an OCC lip tar, as well as pigmentation.

 Paradise and Taupe.

 24K and Earthlink.



 Lotus and Ravishing.



In Love and Charmed.

It does take me some time to apply these lip products. Though, I'm not the best at applying lip products, especially when they need to be applied with a lip brush. Even taking the time I do doesn't equal a neat application, I need more practice. BUT, once applied they wear beautifully. Not heavy, but moisturizing. I get around 4 hours of wear, including meals and drinks, pretty impressive. I also find that it wears off fairly evenly. I just apply a coat of lip balm, and this totally evens out my lips.

Stay tuned because lip swatches will be on my next blog post! :)

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
