Savvy Lip Lacquers

I am really fond of the Savvy range, available in Priceline. It's been some time since I have purchased anything from this brand, although I always check out the display. 

 Well, the temptation was too much during the huge 40% off cosmetics sale that Priceline had, and I bought some Savvy Lip Lacquers. A Matte version and 2 of the High Shine.

The middle one is "Miss Monroe", it is the matte finish. The label was on the packaging, which is now gone, and I cannot recall the names of the High Shine Lip Lacquers, ugh!

As typical for a liquid lip product, these come with a doe foot applicator. Just the right size for precise application.



The High Shine Lacquers are like liquid vinyl. They apply opaque and are very pigmented. They're not tacky, but are smooth. Although I do like the shiny finish, I prefer to blot with a tissue for more of a satin finish. It doesn't feel as heavy, and doesn't slide on my lips.


As for the Matte version, Miss Monroe applied easily. Smooth application, streak free and not patchy. I absolutely adore the extremely pigmented colour. I am not a fan of the finish, however. It remains tacky throughout wear and it does transfer. I don't find it uncomfortable, but the tackiness does cause faster wear time for a matte lipstick and does not fade evenly. Great for a quick outing, but not something that I'd wear when longevity is needed.

 Are you loving mattes, or prefer a glossy lip?

    The red looks gorgeous on you! I don't normally like my reds to transfer, they get all over my teeth haha

      Thank you! I love the colour, but I really can't see myself reaching for it often because of the formula, unfortunately. Teeth transfer is the worst, isn't it!

    Savvy is certainly a brand that continues to surprise me with their excellent budget friendly cosmetics.

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...
