Sephora Give Me Some Lip Set

Hey guys! I will be adding pictures to this post when I get home from my college campus tonight.

So I recently bought the Sephora Give Me Some Lip Set for $25 on Sephora.com. I was convinced by one of my lovely YouTube subscribers to check it out and I am so happy that I did! This set contains six lip products, two of which are full sized.

First off I will talk about the Tarte Lipsurgence. It is in the color Hope. It is a matte lip-stain in a pencil. These are comparable to the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable lipstains that came out recently, but I like the Tarte a little more. What I don't like about the Tarte is the $24 price tag. Because of that price I would suggest getting these in kits like this one. (Tarte just released a 5 piece Lipsurgence kit for the holidays for $35, get it while it lasts!) This color is a lovely pink. It looks darker in the tube than it is on the lips. I love the way it makes my lips look and it lasts forever! The kit is $25 and this product, a full size, would be $24 on its own. So I believe that right there makes it worth your money!

The other full size product is the Sephora Glossy Gloss in Precious Pink. I'm not a huge fan of Sephora brand gloss but this one is alright. It is a very sheer color and looks good over lipstick. It's a good option if you want to add some shine to the matte Lipsurgence.

The Laura Mercier Lip Glace in Baby Doll is very nice. It has a nice smell and a pretty color. It is also pretty sheer but it does give you a little color. The only problem I have with this is that the glitter can be a little abrasive on the lips. However if you don't mind a little extra exfoliation than this is great for you!

The Bite Beauty Lip Shine in Vintage looks like a strong mauve in the tube but actually comes off very lightly. This is my second favorite thing in the kit. It is very smooth and moisturizing on the lips. It has a semi unpleasant scent, but that goes away very quickly. I think that I would buy more of these because I like the formula enough to overlook the scent. This has probably been my most go to lip color from the kit.

The Hourglass Extreme Sheen High Shine Lip Gloss in Child is definitely the most surprising part of the kit for me. I really did not think that I would like the color. As a rule I generally do not like really nude lip colors. Sure I enjoy a mlbb color as much as the next guy, but skin color nude doesn't usually appeal to me. However this color is amazing. Not only does this nude actually look flattering on me (yay no zombie face!) but it feels exquisite on the lips. I fully understand why this warrants the hefty $28 price tag on the full size. I think I will definitely repurchase this (despite that) when I run out of this generous sample. Oh I forgot, it also smells great.

Finally we have the Fresh Sugar Rose Tinted Lip treatment. This is my third mini of this. Excuse my french but I feel like Fresh is kinda whoring this out. It's in EVERY KIT! Don't get me wrong, I love it. I especially love that I will never have to pay $22.50 for the full size. It has spf in it, it tints your lips, and it's very hydrating.

All in all I think this is an A+ set. $25 is a really good price for the quality of the products in the set. I would have paid $25 for the set even if it didn't include the Sephora and Fresh products. Check it out! Let me know what you think!

Also ladies, tomorrow marks the beginning of the Sephora VIB sale. Let me know what you haul!

Nail Polish Collection

New Video

Hey everyone! Sorry it's been so long since I last posted. I really don't have an excuse. Anyway, here is my new video, a nail polish collection! Please ask if you have any questions about it! Also feel free to tell me if you think I need a certain color. :)

NYX Butt "Naked" Eyes Palette

I purchased this palette on Haute Look for about $15, $10 less than it retails normally. I was really excited to find it on Haute Look because I had been eyeing and swatching it every time I went into Urban Outfitters. Now that I own it, I would say that it is worth every penny!

I have to admit, What I really fell in love with was the bottom part of the palette. The blushes, bronzer, and highlight powders are very pigmented and beautiful. My pictures don't even do them justice.

The eye shadows are quite nice too. A lot of them are matte shades but they are pretty pigmented. I really like the shimmery colors in the palette as well. When this originally came on the market, a lot of people speculated that this would be NYX's answer to the Urban Decay Naked palette, but this palette is completely different. The Naked palette is filled primarily with warm colors. This palette is pretty much all cool colors. There are also a lot more colors in this palette. However, I would have to say that the UD Naked palette has better quality eyeshadow overall.

At half the price of the Naked palette, I would say that the NYX palette is a good buy. Although the eyeshadow isn't quite as good, the colors are different enough that there won't be any repeats between the two palettes. If I had to choose one, I would go for the UD Naked palette because I believe it's a staple that everyone could use in their collection. This is a nice side addition though!

Benefit Bella Bamba Blush

I wanted a Benefit boxed blush for a long time. I was thrilled when I saw that this was part of the Pretty Committee set for $40 as these blushes retail for $28. I absolutely love it!

The color is very flattering but you have to be careful with it. It can be applied much too heavily if you aren't light handed. But if you are gentle with it, it can give you a nice flush! It also has a nice scent.

Next I want to try Coralista! Let me know if you have tried any of the other blushes!
