Urban Decay: Revolution Lipgloss

The past few months I've been collecting new lip items, and I thought with Valentines day coming up I would share one of my new favourite products for kissable looking lips!

I received the Urban Decay Revolution Lipgloss in Bittersweet as a 100 point perk from Sephora, and I loved it so much I decided to pick up the Double Shot Travel-size Duo that came with their best-selling nude shade in Liar and an exclusive fuchsia shade in Anarchy!

Packaging: The packaging is really beautiful! It is very slim, and the clear packaging lets you see the colour inside. The doe foot applicator tapers allowing more precision during application and is the perfect size for swiping on colour!

Formula: These lip glosses feel so creamy and have the perfect amount of shine! The shine wears off really beautifully, leaving behind a slight stain of the colour. It is so comfortable and pigmented and contains Hilurlip which is supposed to make lips look fuller. 

Anarchy (exclusive to the duo)

Bittersweet

Liar

Although Anarchy and Bittersweet are quite bold, I have found that they are still wearable and easy to sheer out. Liar is my perfect nude and I find myself wearing the most! These lip glosses deliver in pigment, shine, and comfort, making them a great option for an everyday lip colour! I am so excited to pick up more shades!

I hope this post was helpful! If you have any colour suggestions leave them in the comments down below! Thanks for stopping by!

Sephora VIB Sale 2015

This is the first year that I have had VIB status at Sephora, and I was so excited to pick up a few things that I needed (and some that I didn't)! I've had a bit of a chance to try most of the products so I thought I would tell you my thoughts on them!

Benefit Gimme Brow (Medium/Deep): This has been a go to product for me for about a year and I needed a new one! I love how easy it is to apply and how the tint fills in  your brows naturally while holding them in place! Great for a low maintenance makeup look!

Nars Pro-Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base: I've mentioned this product before, but I cannot get over how wonderful it is! Eyeshadow usually creases on my eyelids, but with this stuff I am crease free all day! It also feels really nice on the skin, and blends out so easily!

Benefit Hello Flawless Powder (Honey): I wanted a setting powder that was buildable enough to wear as foundation on days when I wanted to wear less makeup. I have been so impressed with this product! It sets makeup really well and also builds up on its own to make my skin look evened out and smooth! I've been loving it!

YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat Foundation (B40 Beige): I had this foundation put on in store (along with the benefit powder) and it looked so good! It is supposed to be illuminating and natural, and from what I remember it was! I have yet to try it out at home, but I can't wait! Look out for a review soon!

Urban Decay Revolution High-Colour Lipgloss (Bittersweet): This was a 100 point perk that I redeemed, and although I was sceptical of the colour I've really fallen in love with this gloss! It can be worn more sheer or built up for a more richly pigmented look, both of which I love! The formula is SO SO comfortable and it wears off evenly leaving a beautiful berry stain on the lips. It has quickly become a favourite!

What did you pick up at the sale? Let me know in the comments! Thanks for stopping by!

Dior Addict Lip Glow: Holy Grail Lip Product

For the past year and a half I have been using my Dior Addict Lip Glow religiously. It's what lives in my bag and is my go to lip colour when I want a no fuss lippy! It is made with Mango Butter to nourish and soothe the lips and Loofah Extract to moisturize and heal them. It is very hydrating and gives me the most beautiful wash of colour that fades throughout the day evenly and lasts a long time! It has a balmy texture and smells like chocolate and mint. I love that I can put it on without a mirror and not worry that it has gone everywhere!  It truly is a "my lips but better" product, as it  gradually enhances the natural colour of your lips with "revive technology", making it the perfect pink to pair with any makeup (or no makeup) look! Not only is it hydrating and leaves my lips looking plump and pink, it has SPF 10 to protect them! It's an all in one type of product! 

I should also mention that the packaging is quite beautiful and well made! I've dropped mine more times than I can count, and it still looks brand new!

On top are the before shots and below is around 5 minutes after application. The colour change is not as visible as it is in person, but you can still see how it has enhanced the colour of my lips! It usually gets a little bit darker than this, as it takes a while for the colour to fully develop.

I am almost out of mine and I will definitely be purchasing another as soon as I run out! It has a hefty price tag at $37.00 here in Canada, but I think it is worth every penny! I noticed there was also a coral version of this product which I would love to get my hands on, as I love coral lips for the Spring and Summer. I hope you enjoyed this post! Tell me your holy grail lip product in the comments below! Have a great day!

Bite Beauty: Lush Fruit Lip Gloss

Thanks to Sephora's Black Friday sale, I was sucked into buying this mini lip gloss trio from Bite Beauty. I've seen some other beauty Bloggers and YouTuber's mention these products, but I thought I would do a little review of my own. 

First of all, these Lip Glosses are made with real fruit oils, which makes them taste and smell super yummy.

Packaging: To me, packaging isn't a huge deal in what makes or breaks a product, but I do have to say that I really like the simple and classic glass tube with a matte black top. The applicator is also really nice as it is a curved doe foot, making it form to your lips a bit more than the classic doe foot applicator.

                                       Currant                                        

Currant, Strawberry, Rambutan 

Formula: The formula of these lip glosses is thick (in a good way!) and sticky, and they are described to be highly pigmented. The colour Currant goes on evenly, but I found that on my lips not much colour appeared. It was more of a "my lips but better" kind of gloss. Strawberry and Rambutan were both very pigmented, but I found them to go on less smoothly and that they needed to be built up to get even colour pay-off on my lips. They also settled into the lines on my lips more than Currant did. You can tell from the swatches below the difference in consistency and application on my lips between the colours. Another plus for the formula is that these glosses last a long time, and are not drying!

 Currant (Sheer Plum)

Strawberry (Sheer Carnation Pink)

Rambutan (Peachy Nude)

Currant, Strawberry, Rambutan

I think the colours are beautiful, and that they are very true to their descriptions. Currant would have to be my favourite out of the three simply due to its smooth application, however that will not stop me from wearing the other two, because I still think that they look beautiful when I take my time to apply them.They just aren't a gloss that I could slap on without a mirror. Overall, I think that any of these glosses would be a great pick for those of you who don't mind sticky formulas!

All of these colours (and more) are available in full size at Sephora! Let me know what you think of these glosses in the comments below!
