Revlon Smoked Peach lipstick is one I have glanced at many a time but failed to ever actually purchase,I blame newer products catching my eye.

SWATCH WATCH: MAC Heroine Lipstick Dupe
By BrownGirlFriendly in beauty , on 7 April 2012, 11:22
Did you miss out on Heroine? Don’t fret. Heroine is AWESOME, but it’s very very similar to Violetta. Of course Violetta is shiny unlike Heroine, but it’s nothing a little Matte Mixing Medium from MAC can’t fix. Oh, and the best part…Violetta is permanent at MAC Pro. Brown skin... Continue reading »

Wet N Wild Silk Finish Lipstick Swatches (#1)...
By tracebeardee in lifestyle , on 4 September 2011, 10:41
I love Wet N Wild Silk Finish lipsticks because they are cheap, pigmented and buildable to your liking. I personally think I don't look right in most matte lipsticks and that whole "BAM! in your face" pigmentation most of them give off makes me look a lil' weird (depending on the color). I absolutely hate spending... Continue reading »
Lipstick Love -- Nars Schiap
By Kristine in beauty , on 20 March 2012, 02:29
There is always a moment when you find a lipstick that you know you're gonna love forever. That's what happened to me when I discovered Nars Schiap. I saw the color and thought, "Hmm.. maybe." Then I put it on and instantly fell in love. It's described as a "semi matte shocking pink" and I believe that's what helps it... Continue reading »

Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24 Hour: Review, Pictures and FOTD
By fluffyblog in beauty , on 26 January 2012, 03:00
I've never been a fan of the dewy foundation look. There, I said it. I prefer more of a matte finish, with a decent level of coverage, that's going to hang around all day. It's been kinda lonely in the matte camp over recent years, as all things sheer and glowy took the beauty industry by storm. Matte was almost a... Continue reading »
NARS Dolce Vita Velvet Matte Lip Pencil Review, Swatches, Photos
By projectswatch in beauty , on 4 May 2012, 16:08
I think my favorite lip product formula is the NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil formula. They are super long lasting (he darker shades easily last 6+ hours on me), they don't dry out my lips, and they doesn't transfer or smudge if blotted. I recently added the shade Dolce Vita, a my-lips-but-better (mlbb) shade to my... Continue reading »

By DolceVanity in beauty , on 5 May 2012, 15:33
Bright make-up doesn't have to be loud! My post on this may be over a week late but I first broke the news to you in this blog post that Sleek were to launch two new palettes, purely consisting of a matte texture. I was sent the V1 Brights palette. At first I looked at these colours and thought 'Wow!!' they do take... Continue reading »
