Hey Beautiful People

I got this Super Saturated lip colour In Crush in the mail a few weeks ago and I've fallen in love, Sadly for most international ladies and gents Urban Decay is not available However the answer to our dilemma is a little UK company called beautybay.com they have a range of products not avaiable out of the USA or the UK and the shipping is free world wide for one lip colour it is $21.01 AUS which is very similar to the USA prices. Beauty bay ship quickly well i normally recieve an order withing 2-3 weeks.

Crush is a beautiful in-your-face Pink it applys smoothly and is very pigmented, during application there is minimal tugging. For the formula its self it is very hydrating my lips did not feel dry and i was left with a pretty shine. There is a faint hint of scent I cant pick it quite it smells slightly sweet I want to say a hint of vanilla?

The downside to this amazing product is that its not a twist up product so when you run out you have to sharpen. which isnt a issue if you have a sharpener near by however i dont keep one on hand most of the time haha.

This product can stand a reasonable about of heat I kept it in my pocket while at work for touch ups the formula didnt go 'gooey' which is a bonus. Would i recomment this product a big YES i cant wait to get my hands on more as I do I will be sure to blog about them ;)

Whats your fave way to apply lip colour? direct from the tube, by brush, finger etc

A Review - Milani Eye Tech Extreme Liquid liner in Black

Hey Beautiful People

Look like I have been Liner searching ;) as most people I am in search of my holy grail items! At the moment I am searching for the PERFECT liquid liner! I asked on my Facebook page a while ago what everyones fave was and a LOT of you said the Milani Eye Tech as most of you would know I live in Australia so we don't have Milani sadly but never fear eBay is a friend to all. I went on line and picked this little jem up for about $10 including shipping not to bad. On  Milani's web page its around $7.50 USD to buy.

The liner packaging itself is very sturdy made of shiny black plastic with the lettering in gold. I love how they added a 'grip' section close to the tip so that your fingers don't slide away. The tip is fantastic its sturdy and flexible which often doesn't go together. The tip allows for different withs you can make you line super fine or thick depending on the pressure and angle you use!

As for the liquid liner itself the formula is nice it dries quickly so you don't get that painful smudge. Its not as Opaque as I though it would be to become really black I have to go over it a
couple of times. The formula isn't patchy it applies evenly on bare skin (no primer) it DOSE seem to bleed a little however I haven't experienced that on the lid at all.

Over all while this ISN'T my holy grail liner it is still a great liner it can be used for many looks as you can customise the tip. The liner seems to be like a pack of everlasting Tim Tams (my aussie readers know what I am talking about) I have been using this pretty much everyday since I got it over 2 months ago and there are NO signs of it drying up YAY.

\

 

Big question time would I repurchase? I will/am repurchasing this liner its super easy to work with and its very affordable!

 

 

Whats YOUR holy grail liquid liner?

Final thoughts: My pros far out weigh the cons with this item. To be honest my only cons are 1 you cant get it easy in australia ;) and 2 its not quite as dark as I imagined when I saw Blackest Black. The pros though boy I could go on and on haha 1. The tip is FANTASTIC east to get right into the inner corner of the lid, 2. once its on its on! and 3. It seems to last FOREVER a never ending liner!!! I will deff recommend this product to anyone and everyone (infact I plan on stalking out the Milani line when I am in the USA ;) but shhh)

A Review - Manglaze Polish ILF & Mink Mitten

House Keeping – all products below have been purchased with my own money and I am not in any way shape or form getting paid for this review. All opinions are my own!!!

Hey Beautiful People

Lets talk Polish... Well more like MATTE polish if your big into the polish world (or not so much into it) you may or may not have heard about ManGlaze Polish! ManGlaze's slogan is

 

The Manliest Matte nail polish known to man!

All the colours have clearly got a 'man's' twist on them with colours named Butt Taco and Fattys got more blood but today as the tital mentions we are looking at Mink Mitten and ILF.

The Exert below was taken from the ManGlaze page

ManGlaze® Original Matte Nail Polish is VEGAN, CRUELTY-FREE (it is NOT tested on animals), Big 3 Toxin FREE (No Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Formaldehyde or Toluene). ManGlaze® is likely made by undocumented extraterrestrial life forms somewhere North of Mexico.
©, ® 2012 ManGlaze INK.

 

So for all my vegan and cruelty-free concious people you to can use these amazing polishes!!! So lets talk the details hmmm so if you are able to purchase through the ManGlaze web store you can get your polish for $13.13 USD if you buy from Shoppe Eclecticco its going to cost you $18.16 USD. The bottles are all full sized square bottles with 11 ML. 0.37 FL. OZ of product!

 

The brushes are well put together with nil shedding that I can see  after I did a wipe test (wiping the brushs clean on paper towel). The Polishes them selves are smooth with no 'chemical smell' to them they do require a few layers to become opaque in the swatches below I did 3 coats of each.

 

This is where I may confuse a few of you while Mink Mitten is a ManGlaze shade it is actually metallic. Where compared to ILF which is much more matte it still dose have a SLIGHT satin finish!

 

While I do love these shades they staying power isnt fantastic I wore Mink Mitten on my nails with 3 coats and my mani lasted about 1-2 days where as I can normally get 4-5 without any minor chipping. I think if you applied a top coat it would last longer however applying a top coat over a Matte polish... well there isn't much point unless you want a shiny finish in my opinion. If you can purchase from ManGlaze they have some of their own matte topcoats available for purchase.

 

I cant personally comment on shipping times and TAT as I was gifted these two shades in a Makeup swap I did.

 

Colour Descripton

 

ILF

ManGlaze Description - Turquoise Matte Nail Polish

My Description - Turqoise with a slight satin finish

 

Mink Mitten

ManGlaze Description - Metallic Plurpleder Matte Nail Polish

My Description - A Silver Lavender shade with a metallic finish

 

 

Overall I enjoy the polishes I am going to try and get my hands on the white one high school nostalgia anyone? I wonder if it will do the 'whiteout on nails look' that was ohhh so trendy in my high school. My biggest issues is that the shades don't last, however I know mattes arnt known for their staying power.

What you YOU like to put on your fingers and toes?

Final thoughts: The shades are fairly opaque for the level of coverage I preferred it took me 3 coats, the brushes are well put together and the artwork on the bottles is great. The biggest let down was the Longevity as these shades only lasted 1-2 days on. however the overall initial effect was amazing.
