Laqa & Co - Cheeky Lip - Lip and Cheek Colour - Humblebrag

This is a nice light pink lip and cheek colour that has both good coverage as a lipstick and smooth blending as a blush.

The packaging is also great, you just wind it up and down. 
No sharpening required!

Scent: 2.5/5 (no real scent)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Same Product, Different Colour - Coastal Scents - Blush - Passionate

A darker, more berry coloured blush.

This is so colour intensive! It looks scary on the brush.

Only the tiniest smattering!

Just remember a little goes a long way with this blush!

Coastal Scents - Blush - Exquisite

This is so colour intensive!
Only gently touch your brush to this!!!

It was quite a nice shade, which is really buildable.

Price: 2/5 ($16.95 for 10g)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no real scent)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Bianca J Professional - Eye Shadow and Blush

I don't normally wear eye shadow for everyday (or even just day) looks.
I have 'big eyes', a phenotype from my father's side of the family.
So while other people can pull of eye shadow during the day easily, I look so extra.

Also, google images doesn't recognize 'extra' as a descriptor of a person.

These are mix and match eye shadow and blush pallets.

Metallics:

All but the black are decent.

Blues: 

You expect them to be brighter!

Greens:

Some barely show up at all!

Reds/Purples: 

Again, very poor colour payoff.

Neutrals: 

Only the brown and the blush show up.

A common theme is the shimmer/metallic shades have decent colour payoff, but the mattes have virtually no colour payoff.

The blushes are also decent.

In the neutral pallet, I don't know what that goop in the first slot is for (brow wax?).

Overall, these are terrible eye shadows.

Do not buy.

Price: *** Unknown
Scent: 2.5/5 (none)

Rimmel - Kate Sculpting Palette - 002 Coral Glow 

The highlighter is not light enough, the bronzer is not dark enough, the blush is passable.

Let's play 'Spot the Swatches'!

What it gives you in convenience, you lose in quality.

Avoid!

Price: 3.5/5 ($16.95 for 18.5 g)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no real scent)

Birthday Gift! - For L

*Warning: This post has a curse word in it.

L is relatively new to make up, so Sam and I decided to get her a few basics.
These items can be used together, only some, or just one.
You don't need a full face of make up for these to make sense.

These are neutrals (although I will specify the concealer and lip colour are specific for L's skin tones).

I thought a good name would be 'The Basic Bitchez box'!

It contains a concealer, blush, lip crayon, eye shadow, mascara, and brushes.
And packaged in a recycled Bellabox box. (Yay, recycling!)

Feel free to use this idea, and if you do, let me know what you put in yours! :D
