Glam, Good, or Gross? 

               Shades:
Nudist Peach

Satin Sheets

Nudie
Patootie

Video Vixen

Missy and Fierce

Oh My Dolly

Pink Really Hard

(Shades Left to Right: Nudie Patootie, Satin Sheets, Nudist Peach, Pink Really Hard, Oh My Dolly, Missy and Fierce, Video Vixen. 
Wet n' Wild Catsuit Liquid Lipsticks!

The Price: $4.99 - $6.99

Amount:   0.21 oz 


Pros:    The lipsticks are very pigmented, long wearing, comfortable, and the shade range is great!  The price is also a very big win! I find the applicator to be very easy to use allowing for precise lines.  


Cons:    The shade Nudie Patootie and Video Vixen need two layers to be completely full coverage. The dry time is not as quick as I would like it takes about 5 minutes for these to completely dry down. 

Verdict: For the price these are definitely Glam! I don't see how anyone could disagree. They are not too trying, they last a long time! Even through eating Pizza! They do not transfer while you eat or smudge. Once they dry they are pretty much budge proof. The shade range is enormous even including blues, purples, greens, and blacks for those who are adventurous.  If you are looking for an affordable liquid lipsticks, there is no better option! I highly recommend them! I prefer them over my Stila Liquid lips if that says anything!

*ABH* Soft Glam/ Prism Tutorial !  Gold Sultry Eye 


First I took the Wet n Wild defining brow pencil and the Maybelline Brow Precise pencil and filled in the brow. Then taking Tarte shape tape and an Asthetica angled brushed, I carved out the brow.  I then followed that by applying the Luara Mercier eye base.


Then taking the ABH Prism Pallete I used the shade unity to set the entire lid.  After setting the lid i took the shade Saturn and applied it with the Wet n' Wild blending brush to my crease as a transition shade.


Then taking the shade Senna from the ABH Soft Glam, using the same brush after using a color switch, I went directly over the previous shade to deepen it up.   Taking a small pencil brush I toto th e shade Cyprus Umber and darkened the crease.

Then using a Morphie smaller blending brush i darkened up the the outer V of the crease with the shade Noir. Placing the majority of the color in the outer V and slow dragging the remaining color into the crease without blending upwards.


Taking a flat packer brush and the color Bronze and applied it to the inner 3/4 of the lid leaving the outer section black. Taking a very small shading brush and a very small amount of Noir, then blending the transition from Gold to Black with soft motions whilst deeping up the outer corner yet again.


 Optinal step: apply over the gold shadow Still Magnificent Metals in Gold Godess.   Apply a winged liner with a liner of your choice, I used Pretty Vulgar.

After completing the upper portion of the eyelid, I then primed my face with the Too Faced Hangover RX primer ( which is awesome for dry skin!) and then used the Wet N Wild PhotoFocus Foundation in shade Porcelain to my face using a beauty blender ( I recommend working fast with this as it sets very quickly, full review to come. Also stay tuned for a battle of the foundations!).

I then went back into the Tarte Shape Tape and applied it to the points of my face I like to highlight ( I applied way to much at first!), blended that out, and set it with the Laura Mercier Loose Powder.

Returning to the eyes as I let my skin " bake" . In the ABH Prism Palette I picked up the shade Sphinx on a small tapered brush i applied this shade under the entire lower lash-line for a pop of color. I then used the Jonteblue eyeliner in a Charcoal on the lower water line.

Then Taking the ABH Moonchild highlight kit and the shade Lucky Clover I applied it ot the inner tear duct portion of my eye.  I then curled my lashes and applied the Hello Lashes from It Cosmetics.

I then applied some false lashes .

After removing the baking powder, I used my Cheek-A-Boom Palette and the Hoola light to contour my face and my nose.  I took the Tarte 12 hour Amazonian Clay Blush in Paaarty! and applied it to the apples of my cheeks blending it in with my contour.

Using the same shade of Lucky Clover and I applied to the cheeks, brow bone, and the bridge of the nose.  I used a nude shade of lipstick and lip liner and applied it to the lips. 


Finished Look!
