Hey Beautiful People

Lets look are some lippy ;) I am here to talk to you about the Geek Chic Joystick in Sweet Transvestite. This shade has gone under some re-formulation to make it smoother and extra pigmented. Sweet Transvestite is not drying on the lip as it has moisturizing Jojoba Oil and Vitamin E in its formula, the Joystick is also mint flavoured which I personally find nice =)
 
The overall shape of the joystick isn't ideal for a perfect application in my opinion Sweet Transvestite BEST applied with a lip brush (which I have done in the lip swatches below). If you like Sweet Transvestite you can purchase it on the Geek Chic Cosmetics web store for $5.99 USD.
 
The colour wore fairly well lasting around 3-4 hours the main fading was after eating so I was fairly happy. The biggest down fall for the GCC Joysticks is that they are not a item you can carry around in your pocket as they melt fairly easily.
 
I would repurchase this colour again when it runs out.

Product description
GCC Description - gorgeous blackened, orange leaning burgundy with flashes of fiery orange, copper, and red interferences within the deep red base
My Description - Deep Burgundy with orange/red undertones and flashed of copper
 





Whats your favourite lipstick shade?

Product: 9/10
Pigmentation: 9/10
Texture: 9/10
Longevity: 7/10
Application: 4/5
Packaging: 5/5
Final thoughts:  This shade is one of the more 'firm' GCC Joysticks I have tried it applies fairly well out of the tube though for optimum performance a lip brush is recommended. ST is very pigmented and non drying on the lips. This shade WILL stick to any dry/flaky areas on the lips so ensure they are exfoliated and moisturized.

A Review - Sugarpill Tiara & Paper doll Loose Eyeshadow

Hello Beautiful People

Lets look at some sugar pill shall we? please note that this blog post still has the OLD style swatches apologies I am working through my stash of swatch pictures haha.

Sugarpill is a brand most people are aware of known for bright, bold colours and some funky lashes I am particularly fond of their loose pigments so I finally ordered the last 2 needed to complete my collection!

The nitty gritty on SP they retail for $12 USD now before you have a minor heart attack keep in mind that for that cost you are getting 4.5g of product that's more then enough for you, your sister and a cousin!!! (NOTE: 4.5g by wt so sometimes the jar may look a little 'emptier' then another due to pigment settling) Each SP listing states wether the item is vegan or not which is handy for all my vegan readers both paperdoll and tiara are vegan! Both shades are very finely milled there isn't any traces of unblended micas the shades apply well and are bendable.

Each individual listing has a list of ingredients. The only negative thing I have to say is it seems like the stock photos are slightly over saturated but they arnt that far off of being accurate. Paperdoll is the shade that seems less accurate to its description to me it leans more violet which you will see in swatches below.









 
 


Tiara
Sugarpill Description - Brilliant, highly-reflective metallic silver with maximum shock value shine. The micro-fine particles are super tiny, so this looks amazing sprinkled all over as body shimmer too
My Description - A metallic silver

Paperdoll
Sugarpill Description - Lovely lavender with dazzling shimmer and sparkle.
My Description - A light violet colour with silver glitter


Would I repurchase yes I would I love Sugarpill cosmetics

What's you favourite shade in the Sugarpill collection?

Credit Rating!

Product:  9/10

Pigmentation: 10/10

Texture: 9/10

Longevity: 8/10

Application: 4/5

Packaging: 4/5

Final thoughts: Both shades are highly pigmented and very finely milled nil issues with unblended micas. Paperdoll was the most disappointing leaning more violet then lavender. The colours as with most loose pigments preform BETTER over a sticky base. Fast TAT and arrival to Australia

Tick Tock Cosmetics Model March look #1 - Every Day Ariel

Hello Beautiful People

So as most of you know I am a model for Tick Tock Cosmetics and we get a montly 'theme' to base Tick tock looks around this months look was Disney Princess's. Each model was given/chose a Princess and I was chosen to be Ariel (a.k.a The Little Mermaid) which was so exciting as Ariel is my all TIME fave princess it also helped that I have recently re-dyed my hair back to my all time fave colour for winter IN YOUR FACE RED!!!!!!!!!!!

So I chose to do an everyday look with a twist of some fun liner insperation from Ariels tail and Top I also had some fun 'posing' for these pics i even broke out a dingle hopper to brush my hair ;) enjoy

WARNING THIS IS PHOTO HEAVY!!!








 








Who is YOUR all time Disney Princess idol?
