Biore Self Heating One Minute Mask 

Claims: The product claims to heat on contact with water and draws out dirt and oil and leave skin leaving tight and fresh. 

Actuality: The product does heat up for a brief second , but then cools immediately. I think this gives my skin a very nice feel and it does look healthy and radiant, but I do not notice a change in my pores. 

Rating: If you are buying to clean your pores I'd give this a C-, but if you are buying it for a brightening and tightening I'd give it a B+

Cut Crease Dramatic Look

Dramatic Pink and Black Cut Crease with Metallic Black Lips ♥

Products used : Urban Decay Moondust palette shade Spectre, UD Smokey palette shade Black Market, Wet n' Wild Icon Glitter in Bleached,

 L'oreal Superstar Liner, Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara, NYX Cosmic Metals Lip Cream in Galactic, and Maybelline Fit Me! concealer.

To start the look off prime the eyes.  Then take a a pink sparkly shade and place it all over the lid. Once you have done that take a piece of tape ( I prefer double sided to catch my fallout) and place it from the corner of your eye to your eyebrow. Take a a liner brush and black shade and rag it through across your crease as shown. 

Leaving the tape in place take a concealer and clean up around the edges. Take a concealer brush ( or beauty blender) and blend that out. Then take a some more of that black and place it on the very outer corner of your eye as shown. After that apply liner. 

Then taking a clean fluffy brush and your face powder lightly blend out the crease to give it a softer look and remove the tape. Finally add some silver glitter to the inner corner of your eye as a highlight.

Apply a black lip liner ( in my case I used eyeliner) to keep the liquid lipstick from feathering. Then apply the lipstick on top ( I used NYX Cosmic Metals in shade Galactic and your look is complete.)

Finished look.

Eye Tutorial to Come:) 

Dupe it or Ditch it? Kylie Cosmetics V.S, NYX

Kylie Cosmetics Kymajesty VS NYX Galactic Cosmic Metals

** Disclaimer** Okay, guys this is going to be a bit of different ditch it or dupe. Seeing as I do not own Kymajesty ( because they are extremely hard to get a hold of , but I do however love the shade. So I set out to find a color that was almost identical.  I will have all the information about each product and will also link picture of Ky Majesty for you to compare. That aside lets begin!

Price:   NYX $7.99          Kylie: $18.00

         

First Glance:  The Kymajesty has more of blue metallic look to it than Galactic. 

Size: NYX 0.13 oz     Kylie: 0.11 oz

Texture: As previously mentioned I do not own Kymajesty, but I have done some research, many users have said that it is not a matte liquid lipstick, but it does feel nice on the lips. The NYX is a creamy formula, it also feels smooth on the lips. This product is more glossy though. 

Coverage: The NYX is fully pigmented. One swipe coats your entire lip. I have read that the Kylie one is a tad streaky and takes a few coats to build the color. 

Wear Time: I cannot comment on the Kylie, but the NYX wears like a typical gloss, so be prepared for reapplications if you are eating or drinking a lot. 

Color Swatch:  Galactic ........................................... Kymajesty I will not be posting images for Kymajesty, but I will leave a link to a photo for comparison. 

Verdict: Dupe it! The color may not be spot on, but it is close enough for me to consider a dupe. Kylie Cosmetics has a bad reputation for customer service as well, so I'd say save a few bucks an go with the NYX! ( If you don't like it, at least you can return it). 

Swatching Sunday ! Milani Lip Intense Liquid Color

SS:Milani Lip Intense Liquid Color

Product description: This product is a full color gloss. It doesn't dry down to a matte finish as some other lip sticks do. They are very pigment and feel comfortable. The shade Fiery Coral is a tad streaky, but you can build it.
