 Hey Ya'll

 

Lets take a look a Geek Chic Cosmetics Joy Stick in Hipster Ariel today shall we? great idea ^_^

OK so lets talk lippys first now I KNOW we ALL own at least one pink,red,orange and nude lippy but not many of us wear bright lippys it seems to be a status quo thing which sucks coz Hipster Ariel is an AMAZING opaque metallic blue lipstick. For being a bold colour Hipster Ariel 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 isnt ideal for a perfect application in my opinion Hipster ariel is BEST applied with a lip brush (whick i have done in the lip swatches below). If you like Hipster Ariel you can purchase it on the Geek Chic Cosmetics webstore for $5.99 USD.

Final thoughts:  Hipster Ariel is a opaque metallic blue shade which applys smoothly i find best applied with a lip brush to get into the fine lines on the lips. This shade will wear quite quickly if you eat and drink.

Hey Ya'll

So on my last trip to the City one of our shopping malls had JUST opened a official MAC PRO store and there I found this little gem MAC Chromaline in Landscape green which is a bright kelly green colour. Now for those of you who don't know what a Chromaline is well MAC have described it as a gel/cream liner, HOWEVER if you read the 2 pg leaflet included in the box you will see that Landscape Green is ACTUALLY not lip or eye safe (it appears MAC intended the chromalines to be dense body paint) so what to do with this item. Well before i actually READ the flyer I used Landscape green as a eyeshadow base.

Now I'm not telling you that MAC are wrong and this is eye safe however on ME I haven't suffered ANY ill effects or staining from using this on my lids. Some of the main concerns for using Landscape green on the lids is the possibility of  staining or irritation from dyes (like red dyes).

This product is very smooth and pigmented, best applied with a finger and blended out however it would also be a good bodypaint for small areas. Chromalines retail at $35AUS and are only avaiable at a MAC Pro store

So have you ever used a product for something other then its intended use?

Xoxo

Hey Ya'll

Yet another review haha i really need to post more LOTD/EOTD/OOTD's haha =p please let me know if there is anything you would like me to do/review ect the same goes for my YouTube Channel =)

Today we are going to look at the latest Tick Tock Cosmetics Infinity Eye Shadow Base (IESB) in Super Nova and a sample of a New release Season Finale. The bonus for all you out there in makeup land is this Tick Tock now offer samples (average of 20 uses per sample) of their 3 bases AND their 3 in 1 Primer! all at reasonable pricing so its a fantastic opertunity for you to try all 3 for the price of one =)

Onto the IESB first Super Nova is the latest in Tick Tock bases and is a nude shade which leans warm in tone. Super Nova also has a semi - glossy finish while not feeling Tachy, its opaque with one pass and the texture is very creamy. As you can see in photos below Super Nova is a darker nude colour (for refrence i am a Mac MatchMaster shade 4) however it blends out easily. For comparisons sake I swatched it next to MAC's painterly paint pot (PP) as you can see the PP is quite a few shades lighter and you can see what i mean about Super Nova's semi-glossy finish.

 

 

Now onto the Shadow Season Finale, this shade is very smooth and pigmented it prefoms best over a primer/base as you can see in the image below over bare skin it is very patchy, this swatch was achieved by one pass over.

 

Colour Description

Tick Tock Cosmetics - A deep, purple leaning burple.

My Desctiption - A deep grape colour with a slight blue shift

 

 

 

So what do you think have you tried the new TT:C base? if so thoughts XoxoC

Final thoughts:  the base is pigmented and smooth, the semi-gloss finish maybe a issue if you wish to apply a mate shade over the top (i havent attemted that at this stage), Super nova DOSE lean warmer so it may now suit cooler skin tones esp the fairer beauties. In regards to Season Finale it is pigmented and very easy to blend a good crease colour for a smokey eye.
