Makeup Revolution Fast Base Foundation Stick Review, Demo On Oily Skin

Makeup Revolution Fast Base Foundation Stick Review, Demo On Oily Skin

Videos Cosmetopia Digest   Wednesday, May 02, 2018

Makeup Revolution's Fast Base Foundation Stick costs just £5, and is a buildable medium-to-full coverage foundation that blends out like a dream.
Let me get this straight. I dislike stick foundations. I've noticed that they go on streaky, are hard to blend out, and don't stay on very well on my freakishly oily skin.
This one is the exception. And, I can't get over the cost! It is cheaper than The Ordinary's foundations. There are 18 shades, with more being added soon. You can take it along while travelling; nothing happens when you drop it - been there, done that - and, while I require some mattifying powder over lunch, it does perform quite well on my skin. As well as the average high-end foundation does.

Makeup Revolution Easter Surprise Eggs Swatches, Demo, Review

Makeup Revolution Easter Surprise Eggs Swatches, Demo, Review

Videos Cosmetopia Digest   Friday, April 06, 2018

I hope you enjoyed your Easter break. Remember I told you about the Makeup Revolution Easter Surprise Eggs a few days ago? I got mine finally, and, as promised, I have swatches, review, and a makeup look for you.
For those who came in late, the Easter Surprise Eggs are Makeup Revolution's Easter launch. They are metallic "Eggs" that contain five eyeshadows and two highlighters apiece. Each one costs just £5. There are six eggs in all. I accidentally ordered only five - don't ask me how; it was an oversight.
The eggs are colour-coordinated, and four of them are named of mythical creatures - Unicorn, Mermaid, Dragon, and Angel. The other two are Gold and Rose Gold, and you can guess the colour scheme inside.

Jouer Long-Wear Lip Creme Liquid Lipsticks Review, Swatches: Cassis, Lychee, Petale de Rose

Swatches Cosmetopia Digest   Friday, August 05, 2016

Jouer Long-Wear Lip Creme Liquid Lipsticks were a March 2016 launch, and I was excited enough by the shades to treat myself to three of them for my birthday in April. There are 16 shades available in the range, including metallics, mattes, reds, oranges, subtle neutrals, pinks and mauves. Best of all, these lipsticks smell delicious, like tropical fruits. The fragrance is mild and pleasant, and unlike that of any other lipstick I've seen before.

Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Palette vs Semi-Sweet vs Chocolate Bar Swatches

Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Palette vs Semi-Sweet vs Chocolate Bar Swatches

Valentine's Day Cosmetopia Digest   Friday, February 12, 2016

Despite being torn by the idea of more chocolate-scented eyeshadows - in cute heart packaging, to boot - I had made up my mind to skip the Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Palette and wait for their Sweet Peach palette instead. But it was among my Christmas prezzies. Far be it from me to look a gift palette in the mouth.
This is the third chocolate-themed eyeshadow palette from Too Faced. Their Chocolate Bar (reviewed here) and the Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar (reviewed here) palettes are firm favourites of mine, especially the caramel-hued Semi-Sweet Palette.
