~Swatches and First Impressions~ Kleancolor Femme Lipstick....Part 2....

Hey Everyone!!

I spotted these Kleancolor Femme Lipsticks at my beauty supply store and I was really surprised to see them there. Neither one of my BSS' update the Kleancolor makeup. lol! I had previously swatched and reviewed two sets of Kleancolor Femme Lipsticks. There were the bright primary/Secret Kisses/ Ka' Oir-ish colors. Here is the LINK to check those out!!

 There were six colors available. I got six colors then went back and got more colors for friends as gifts. :)

 The Names: #1 Tea Rose, #2 Pink, #3 Georgia, #4 Radiant Red, #5 Garnet and #6 Fiesta.....

The swatches start in order from the bottom....#1 Tea Rose is first and go up.......

First( or Second, since it's the 2nd set of lipsticks) Impressions:

-The smell is still fruity and INSANELY STRONG. OMG. Seriously, you know a lipstick scent is strong when you can smell it in your mouth and down your throat.  smh

-The formula is the same as the first Femme lipsticks I reviewed. The color is builable, very greasy like a balm but not a balm.

-These were a $1 at my BSS, so know crazy loss here. I'm going to try and wear these because I love the colors. 

Don't act like you haven't wore a trifling makeup product because you refuse to give up on it!!

~Swatches and First Impressions~ Wet N' Wild Megalast Lipstick in 24 Carrot Gold....

Hey Everyone!

I saw on the beauty blogsphere that Wet N Wild had a new Megalast Lip Stick out called 24 Carrot Gold. I located the one I picked up at a Rite Aid, which in my area has the best selection in  Wet N' Wild displays.

 24 CARROT Gold. LOL

Here's a swatch on the back of my hand. Its a really intense orange coral. You will get more orange than pink coral with this color. Perfect for the spring and summer time.

 Since the Megalast lip sticks are heavily pigmented, I lightly applied 24 Carrot Gold and blended out the edges for a more wearable look on me. 

These pictures were taken in natural light with no flash, so it shows more the orange-y side of 24 Carrot  Gold. I love this color!!! Wet N' Wild  definitely did this shade! Wonder if its a dupe of a high end? LOL!

~Fresh Coat~ JulieG Gumdrop Collection Nail Colors....

Hey Everyone!!

Since I missed out on  the great Groupon deal that was on the JulieG Gumdrop Collection, I had to resort to hunting them down. I spotted them in Rite-Aid which is the only place they are sold. The swatches I saw of these were gorgeous!! I picked up Blueberry Fizz, Rock Candy, and Crushed Candy.

 Blueberry Fizz ( on the ring finger)

 Crushed Candy( on the middle finger)

Rock Candy ( on the pinky and index fingers)

Overall....

I LOVE this polish!! The brilliant texture, the opacity, and the colors are awesome. I wanted to use a top coat, but from the reviews I read, it would take up to four or five coats of top coat to get a glossy finish, so skipped that idea. These JulieG polishes are smaller than her core line but the same price at $3.99. I found another Rite-Aid that had these polishes so I plan on getting the other shades as well.

Have you tried any of the Gumdrop Collection or any other "sugar" coated polishes? Let me know your favorites in the comments!!

~MAC Riri Woo~ Swatches and Dupes under $6!!......

Hey Everyone!!

The inna'nets have no chill....MAC RiriWoo release has shaken up the beauty blogsphere/vlogsphere and emotions are high.

Don't I sound like the intro to an Oprah special? haha....

But seriously, the beauty girls are just all over the place with Ms. RiriWoo. Most are not pleased for whatever reason or another. The main reason is that RiriWoo is so close to MAC Ruby Woo in color that folks are feeling they got duped. Perhaps. *shrugs*

I don't own Ruby Woo for one reason. The drugstore dupes of that lipstick are endless. I rather spend $6 over $15. And I can mattify any red lipstick with a little translucent powder. So, your favorite cousin is going to serve you under $6 options to Riri Woo....Get into it....

 MAC Riri Woo

I actually love the texture of the lipstick. I don't own anything this matte.

 Swatch of Riri Woo.

 Now, from my personal collection, I pulled Rimmel #111 Kiss of Life and  E.L.F.  Rich Red for comparison against Riri Woo.....

 Riri Woo is #1, Rimmel #111 Kiss of Life is #2 and E.L.F. Rich Red is #3 in the photo above.

The closest in the color to Riri Woo is Rich Red and  #111 Kiss of Life is closer in texture and slightly darker. Either way....both are under $6 where ever E.L.F and Rimmel are sold in your part of the woods.

And you won't have to wait for hours for your order to go through.:)

 Then I thought about the some the reds in Nicka K lipstick collection. I buy my Nicka K lipstick at my local beauty supply for $1.

Ironically, the Nicka K shade is called Ruby Red.

Riri Woo is #1 and Ruby Red is #2 in the above photo. Ruby Red is the same shade but glossy.

Sooooo....what are your thoughts on Riri Woo and the controversy behind the shade? I'm personally happy I have it. I love red lipstick and now I have a true matte in my collection. Its all good over here!! However there some very good, inexpensive options of this lipstick right around the corner from you or over these here internets. Enjoy!

~MAC Lavender Whip~ Swatches and $1 Dupe?.......

Hey Everyone!!

After four lonnngggg years, I finally have my hands on MAC Lavender Whip.

I missed out Lavender Whip when it came out in 2009 and since then,  I have scoured my CCO hoping it would show up there, coveted dupes, searching for this color!!

I know that it isn't the original Lavender Whip( the shade and texture is slightly different from the original) , but this one will do.:)

 I've worn her...a couple of times since I got her. LOL!

 Here is a swatch....

I wore it with out any gloss on top or liners. Its the perfect lavender shade.:)

Now, I did compare Lavender Whip to two other shades in my stash, Nicki K Lavender Tint and Revlon Lip Butter in Gumdrop.

Nicka K Lavender Tint is #1, MAC Lavender Whip is #2 and Revlon Gumdrop is #3.

Lavender Tint is a bit darker but is in the same lavender family and has the same texture as Lavender Whip. Gumdrop is lighter than both colors. So in my OPINION, Nicka K Lavender Tint is a close dupe of MAC Lavender Whip and its was only $1 at my local BSS. You can purchase Nicka K HERE for $1.49.

So what do you think? Did you buy Lavender Whip? Let me know in the comments!
