Lipstick Love- Elf Matte Lip Color in "Natural"

Before I had won this lipstick, thanks to Christina's (Lovethatlippie) generous Instagram giveaway, I had never even heard of Elf Matte Lip Color. A fairly simple name for a pretty amazing lip product.

 Taken from the Elf website- "This convenient jumbo sized lip pencil creates exact colour application with twist up ease so you don't have to sharpen. The pigment rich colour glides on effortlessly and easily to provide long lasting colour."
 I like the simple, yet sleek look of these pencils.
Great blunt, yet small tip. 
A similar consistency to a lip pencil, a soft creamy one.

I love that this lipstick pencil is retractable, I hate sharpening makeup pencils! I wasn't keen on the actual packaging, it just feels loose and cheap, oh dear, not the best explanation, but you get what I mean, right?

Application is easy. Being a pencil means I have more control, and precision is much more achievable, than say a bullet lipstick. 

Even though this lipstick pencil has a matte finish, it does not drag across the lips. I find that it applies smoothly and isn't heavy or too drying.

 There is some transfer with the lipstick pencil, however I still felt it had decent longevity.


On its own.

Applied over a lip balm.

 Oh, how I love these lip color pencils! I need more shades!

    I agree about the packaging, the bullet feels all wobbly in it! Ah well!! Perdy lady anyways! Xo

      The packaging can be forgiven when the lipstick is such a great product xx

    It looks like a great lip colour, I like its twist function packing, at least you will not waste the product in sharpening procedure.

    Such a beautiful colour on you!! I agree that they feel a bit flimsy and cheap (I have the colour praline) but I love the product itself!

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

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.
