These lipsticks are very bold colors which I plan to use in Halloween tutorials because they are obviously not for everyday wear. They are opaque and pretty creamy so it easy to apply them. They retail for $6 each and they are very fun colors.
this is actually the same lipstick I wore in a recent video I just forgot to swatch it!!

CLAIM: This product claims to “create a smooth, invisible layer that acts as a “buffer” to outside elements and expertly holds foundation.” Also this primer includes vitamins A, C and E to protect the skin and supposedly it works for all skin types.
MY THOUGHTS: I really like the consistency of this primer because it does not feel silicony which I cannot stand in most primers. when you apply it on your face you don’t need much which is a pro because the item is quite pricey. The primer also absorbs into the skin quickly so that you can move onto applying foundation without having to wait to long. Laura Mercier makes different types of primers including an oil free one which would be more appropriate for oily/combination skin (like mine), however I tried the one for “all skin types” and found that it made me look super oily after about 5 hours of wear.
in this photo you can see that my nose and my forehead look very shiny which is the opposite of what a primer is supposed to do.
Here we can see that the foundation has started to fade and my scars have become more visible. This is because the base underneath my foundation (primer) is not made for my skin type.
I would have to say that I was not impressed with this primer and I would not repurchase it as it is between $19-$32.

I recently purchased this lip product off of tartecosmetics.com and I am very pleased with the results. I wore the lip stick for about 7 hours and I ate a full meal and the lipstick managed to stay on. I would recommend this product because it is long lasting and the color is nice, however there are only 2 shades to choose from which is a down side. Also when I first applied it the tip of the retractable lipstick fell off so I had to use more product. The product felt sticky on the lips which usually means it is long lasting. I didn’t feel that it was moisturizing for the most part so if you’re looking for something that is moisturizing then this isn’t it.

hey guys so I recently purchased a new lip product by Maybelline. Their new line of color whispers is really nice, however the product does not last through eating. The color I purchased is in Petal Rebel and it is a very nice every day pink color. The thing I like most about this lip product is that it is very moisturizing. When I first applied it I thought it was more of a chapstick but with a hint of color to it. It is also very pigmented and overall it looks very pretty on the lips. I recommend it for everyday wear and I am not going to be returning this product because I really do enjoy it even though the color doesn’t last all day!
