Review: Lancaster Moisture Enhancing Lipstick Rouge





The packaging is simple gold with brown writing.



The lipstick packaging is gold.



I got the shade NM47 which is a nude shade.



Shade Nm47



I swatched it on my hand, because when I swatched it in my lips it felt dry and smelted like cheap wax. Luckily this product was a gift with purchase from strawberrynet, because I'm spring cleaning this week ill be tossing this product out and won't be rebuying it

Review: Chantecaille Future Skin Gel Foundation





The foundation comes in a jar, which is nice for traveling.



I got the lightest shade in porcelain. I'm NC15 in MAC for reference.



The foundation is a gel formula.



On skin, unblended.



Blended into skin, it's a perfect match for me. It's a sheer to medium coverage. It feels light on the skin, and is good for people who have acne prone skin. It's good for both dry and oily skin types.

Product Break Down:
Price 3/5
Packaging 3.5/5

Overall Rating 4/5

This is my new HG foundation, it looks great when your looking for a foundation that looks like skin hence the name 'future skin'.

Review: Paul & Joe Eye Color CS Spring 2013





Spring 2013 Paul & Joe Eye Colors.



Paul & Joe Eye Color in 083, this has white cats on the packaging.



Shade 083



The shadow comes with a sponge tip applicator.



The product also has an overlay of a unicorn, this is an overlay done with a tiny layer of white eye shadow. I would buy this product just for the unicorn because it will disappear after 4-5 uses.



I swatched this on my hand (light green, overlay white, and dark green) each of the shadows are more pigmented in person.

The product also has an overlay of a unicorn, this is an overlay done with a tiny layer of white eye shadow. I would buy this product just for the unicorn because it will disappear after 4-5 uses.



This shade is swatched on my hand, (beige, overlay white, and dark brown) this is my favorite out of the two shades I got. The collection has three eye colors, I got two of the three. Each is very pigmented.

I would only rebuy shade 082 because its the one I would use on a day to day basis.

Review: Paul & Joe Face Powder N





The box and product packaging are gorgeous, lets just take a moment to take it in! The powder comes in a large vintage inspired container.



As you can tell this product is not travel friendly, this a product I have to leave out on my vanity because it is to large to fit in to my muji makeup containers. This powder comes with a puff which makes me think of the 1920s when the cosmetic industry first started. It makes me feel glamorous when I apply it. I've come to love powder puffs over this past month because its easy and effortless to apply powder with a puff.



This powder is truly vintage. The powder comes with a 'shifter' that is removable. The powder it's self comes wrapped up in a small circle box, which you have to cut open to get the powder out.



I got shade 01 which matches my skin tone perfectly. This powder has a strong rosé scent, which I've grown to love being that I used it almost every day the month of march 2013. This will add a small amount of coverage to your skin but its a sheer to almost medium coverage.

Product Break Down:
Price: 3/5
Packaging: 4/5 (because I live vintage inspired items)
Product: 4.5

Overall Rating 4/5

I would most likely repurchase when I use all my other powders up!
