Chella - Highlighter Pencil - Ivory Lace

I got this from Bellabox ages ago and it annoyed me.
This is not a highlighter on me.
This is pretty close to the shade I am anyway.
My own skin colour does not a highlight make.

The colour it is vs. the colour I need in a highlight.

And DON'T call it 'Ivory'! This is NOT ivory.

As far as formulation, it is pretty creamy,
It really seems it would do better in a plastic wind up container rather than a pencil, given how much you use then need to sharpen it.
And the cap doesn't stay on.

I might use this as an eye shadow base. Might.

Price: 2/5 ($24.95 for not-$24-worth of highlight)
Scent: 2.5/5 (pencil smell)
Effectiveness: 1/5

Estée Lauder - Pure Colour Lipstick - Maraschino

Like the least impressive Sherlock Holmes, I found out what this lipstick was.

But I look better in lipstick.

The packaging had long since lost any identification on it.

It is a lovely cool toned brick red shade.

Even though it is old, it is still super creamy and full coverage!

Over the Bianca J Professional lip liner in BJLL1.

And it lasts! It stays on so well!


This is the type of lipstick that just won't quit!

There are still Pure Colour lipsticks, but not in this shade and I cannot speak to their quality.

Price: 1/5 (~$52)
Scent: 5/5 (smells like sweet cherry)
Effectiveness: 5/5
