Almost two months ago, I posted about a set of matte liquid lipsticks on Snapchat and everyone was excited to hear about it.  It’s been a while since then and I have finally had the chance to get through the whole set of goodies to share with all of you.  Matte lipsticks are so popular now a days and there are so many types and colors from different brands.  Today I share with you these gorgeous lippies from BHüe Beauty.  BHüe is a line of crowd-sourced beauty products that are formulated to enhance your natural beauty so you can stand out in a room.  Let’s take a look at these gorgeous shades, shall we?

BHüe offers Liquid Matte Lipsticks in 7 gorgeous shades to suit any skin tone or personality.  Each Matte Liquid Lipstick retails for $18.00 which is a pretty hefty cost in my opinion for the amount of product you receive in each tube of lipstick.  I was unable to find the actual amount per product, but each tube seems to be about 1/2 the amount of product than a regular liquid lipstick that you see on the market today.

Each liquid lipstick comes with a doe foot applicator and I love the packaging.  It is simplistic but perfect for travel or tossing into your purse.  I also love the fact that each name is labeled at the bottom of the tube and these are really the type of liquid lipsticks that you can easily finish if you find a color you love.  I think that while they are a little high in cost for the amount, packaging and product quality would be worth the cost if there was a bit more product.

These liquid lipsticks are very pigmented and offer bright and bold colors on the lips with one swipe.  They apply like a liquid cream lipstick or lip cream so they feel comfortable on the lips.  While they do not completely set down (they are not tacky but do not dry down to a harsh dry finish), they are long lasting and water-resistant.  I especially just love the fact that I can wear them with hours without my lips feeling cracked or so dry that they hurt.  I remove them with a makeup remover wipe or with a little coconut oil and they come off easily.  There is slight transfer when eating and drinking – but still last and offer a moisturizing feel on the lips without my lips hurting.

The liquid lipstick formula is infused with Vitamin E to ensure your lips will feel moisturized all day – no matter the color you choose.  I highly suggest you line your lips with a transparent lip liner or one that is similar in shade to the liquid lipstick you have, but it is not necessary or required – I’m just a creature of habit.

I also got to try BHüe’s Tinted Lip Balm in Chameleon Pink which retails for $17.  This fun lip balm comes in a slider rectangular tin and is strawberry scented.  It’s a completely clear jelly lip balm that leaves my lips moisturized and gradually creates a soft rosy pink sheen on the lips giving me a fresh-faced look, perfect for summer.  You can apply it to your lips with your fingers or use the travel lip brush that’s included for precise application.  I love this thing… it has made my June favorites because it leaves my lips moisturized and creates a pretty hue for me to rock out this summer.

Oh – a little tip, the more you press and smack your lips, the more pink the formula becomes.  I tend to press my lips together a lot, so sometimes my lips can turn to a really bright pink where as other times, well – they will just be a soft “your lips but better” kind of pink.

The tinted lip balm contains avocado and macadamia oil that will keep your lips hydrated. Once in contact with your lips, the formula will change from clear to pink.  My lips feel hydrated and moisturized all day long when I wear this tinted lip balm on its own.  Packaging makes it easy to apply and I love that it includes a little lip brush for application.  I do not suggest using this lip balm on your lips prior to applying the matte liquid lipsticks without blotting your lips first, otherwise the lipsticks will move all over on your lips and create a mess.

Ingredient listing: Diisostearyl Malate Polyisobutene Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride Neopentyl Glycol Dicaprate Silica Dimethyl Silylate Hydroxystearic Acid Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil Fragrance May Contain Red 27

BHüe is a cosmetic brand for those who blend their makeup – but refuse to blend into the crowd.  They offer cool products for those who want to compliment being their best with looking best.  They say… “It’s not about contouring, but about confidence.”

“BHüe’s manifesto is to be fearless. Be bold. Be the best version of yourself. BHüe.”

I’ve absolutely enjoyed trying out these lip products over the last two months and have really enjoyed mixing them with my eye looks and creating fun and bold lips for summer.  I love that the range of shades they have available make great ones for any time of the year and they will certainly go well for any skin tone.  I do enjoy a great liquid lipstick, but I think what I love the most about these is that they are so comfortable on the lips – that I can wear them all day, remove them and my lips still feel soft.  They can leave behind a bit of a stain with some of the shades, but overall – I’m impressed.  I mentioned the price being a bit high for my liking, but considering it is a crowd-sourced brand, I understand the reasoning behind the cost.  I can’t say I would purchase these at full price, but I can’t say I wouldn’t either.  The colors are gorgeous, super pigmented and I do enjoy them and those that know me or read this blog, know that if I really enjoy something – I may change my mind and purchase it later even if I said I wouldn’t.

The lip balm – definitely a favorite of mine and one I enjoy.  I have gotten a lot of use out of this product and I know it’s something I would buy again, knowing how great my lips feel and how cool the colors change on my lips.  This lip balm is functional for me, especially during the summer when I don’t use much but makeup and lip balm anyway.  It keeps my lips soft and moisturized all day long with is a HUGE plus in my book.

BHüe is a small company and I haven’t seen a huge buzz around the brand or their products as of yet, but I do think that they have a great product that will turn heads.  The quality of these lip products definitely warrant the price tag and my lips just absolutely enjoy how they feel on.  Have you heard of BHüe before?  If so, what are your thoughts on the company?  If not, do you think this is something you would want to check out?  What do you think about the price?  Comment below and let me know.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t think that I would write about these, but since I already filmed the video review and it’s been sitting in my Que for release for a few weeks now, I figured that I would write one anyway.  My opinions haven’t changed since first trying these lippies and I doubt that they will.  Let’s get on with it – shall we?  Today I’m talking to you about the Wet n Wild Color Icon Metallic Liquid Lipsticks from the Limited Edition Lost in the Wild Flowers collection.

The Wet n Wild Color Icon Metallic Liquid Lipsticks from the Lost in the Wild Flowers collection showed up in my local Walgreens about a month (or more) ago and I found four shades available.  The display was quite picked through so I’m not quite sure if there are more colors available, but I picked up what my Walgreens had and I was really excited to get my hands on them.  Retailing for just $3.99 these metallic liquid lipsticks were a part of a limited edition collection that included nail polishes and some blush and highlighters (or that is what I seen in the display) and I decided I would only pick up the lipsticks.

Now this new craze of metallic liquid lipsticks seem to be hitting quite a few companies and brands as they are being released all over the internet and you may have already seen different brands like Kylie Jenner and Milani – even ColourPop recently released a set of them.  I was quite excited to try one that was affordable.  After bringing the four shades home with me, I immediately began to swatch each one.

The packaging is adorable and I love how small it is while still packing in a good amount of product.  The doe foot applicator is also quite nice.  It has a slight dip in the applicator allowing you to apply the product to your lips easily and ensuring the product hugs your lips to create shape.  It reminds me of the Jordana Sweet Cream liquid lipstick applicator which I talk about in this post here.  The only difference is that the one from Wet n Wild, the applicator is a little more on the fluffier side, but it still makes applying the product a breeze.

If you are looking for a lip product that is much like a gloss, you may like this particular lippy.  This reminds me of a glittery gloss with a similar texture.  It’s kind of odd to me to be honest and applying it on my lips – while the colors are pigmented, it looked weird and felt uncomfortable.  This is not a liquid lipstick texture I would prefer.  It reminds me of a gel like lip gloss formula with shimmer and metallic flecks.

Longevity… I couldn’t say that these lasted AT ALL.  They kiss off very easily and drinking or eating anything really left a mess behind.  While they do have nice pigment and color, I hate that when I wipe it off my lips, it leaves that metallic shimmer behind which settles into the fine lines and cracks in my lips.  It’s unattractive and really emphasizes all those lines on my lips whether at it’s full pigmentation or faded.  I also haven’t seen any other colors available in this line and while I’m not a fan, maybe a different color selection would make for a different opinion.  All of the shades have a blue base to them, which is not my favorite to wear – especially if they have a shimmer or metallic look to them.

 

Since they are so affordable, I think they would definitely be a great topper for a matte lipstick or something fun to wear.  They oddly remind me of my childhood – which by the way, I am a child of the 80s and a teen of the 90s, so that says a lot about the shade range and finish.  While I was able to apply the lip products and get color from them, there is a lot of streaky color application and sometimes I felt like I was applying more and more but rubbing off color at the same time.  While these are cheap, unless you have something fun planned for them – I don’t think they would be used well for every day or even special occasions.  I have had MANY Wet n Wild lippies over the years and these definitely made the “eh” list because I have them so I’ll try to make use of them, but I’m not a fan and don’t think I will be.  If I had to absolutely choose one out of the whole bunch, I think “Coming Up Roses” – the darkest shade in the bunch, would probably be my favorite – though, I wouldn’t exactly use the word “favorite”.  One I know I would be able to make use of is the purple shade – Indigo Your Own Way.  When it comes to the metallic part in that particular lipstick, it lends for the glitter to be more wearable then the rest.

In the packaging, these look like absolutely beautiful colors and I think they are… but for me personally, I think they just were not the right fit.  At under $4.00 each – the price point is nice and I’m sure I’ll figure out a way to make use of them.  Have you tried these yet and if so, what are your thoughts?  If you haven’t, do you think you’ll be checking any of these out.

I have always been a fan of Wet n Wild and I’m really enjoying their new releases I’ve seen hitting the stores lately, but this particular set I think could use some improvements.  Texture, longevity and overall formulation could use some changes and are certainly to be desired.  While this is my opinion of these liquid lipsticks from Wet n Wild, that doesn’t change my general opinion of the brand, and I do still enjoy what WnW offers.

With the summer months in full swing, my dry skin can take a huge beating and require extra moisture.  No matter the season, it seems like my skin needs the extra benefits of hydration and I love turning to products that can do so for me without compromising my skin care or my makeup that I may have spent some time to put together.  When I need a little extra boost of moisture, I turn to a facial spray.  I have used all kinds and different brands and I’m always impressed with each in their own right, but lately I’ve been really loving the Farmacy Skin Dew Hydrating Essence Mist and Setting Spray.

The Farmacy Skin Dew Hydrating Essence Mist & Setting Spray ($44.00 USD – 3.3 fl.oz / 97 mL) immediate caught my eye after having tried several different products from Farmacy in the past – and loving each one.  The Skin Dew is formulated with Farmacy’s proprietary GreenEnvy Echinacea which you can immediately tell once you spritz or spray the product.  This spray is made to hydrate the skin by toning and restoring the radiance of your skin as well as refreshing your makeup.

Click here to watch my video review that’s live on YouTube or watch the embedded video below.

When it comes to hydrating mists or setting sprays, sometimes I notice that my skin looks overly dewy or greasy but I love the way my skin feels when I spray this essence on.  My skin immediately feels moisturized and hydrated while eliminating the “powdery” look and feel that some of my makeup can leave my face feeling.  This spray literally helps to moisturize and sooth my skin on contact and I love it.

Since I don’t use foundation or concealer daily – this works as a great refresher (especially in the morning) to really wake up and invigorate my skin without adding harsh chemicals or products that can really draw out my natural moisture.  However, I found that with using this product prior to applying any BB Cream or tinted moisturizer can really help the product apply evenly and give my face a more luminous look.  As a makeup setting spray – it leaves my skin looking glowy and leaves my skin looking fresh.  Like I stated before, any powder products that I use on my skin looks airbrushed and doesn’t leave a powdery finish behind.  While I have used many products for setting my makeup – I especially enjoy the Skin Dew because it feels wonderful on my skin, leaves my face feeling refreshed and cool and it’s not sticky – which is the biggest plus… I hate the feeling of sticky or heavy products on my skin.

So let’s chit chat about the benefits and all that important info provide by the company:

“A versatile hydrating essence mist that tones the skin, restores radiance and sets makeup.”

Powered by Echinacea GreenEnvy – A unique patent-protected variant of Echinacea Purpurea.  GreenEnvy contains the highest known concentration of phytochemical Cichoric Acid which is a potent natural antioxidant which helps protect and firm the skin by inhibiting the enzymes that break down collagen.  Cichoric Acid also normalizes the skin pigmentation process to promote a more evenly toned complexion.  Farmacy Skin Dew is farmer cultivated and scientist activated.  The distilled essence of the plant is the foundation of all Farmacy products.

The product as well as anything made and created by Farmacy includes naturally derived ingredients.  The products are free of Parabens, free of Formaldehyde and free of Artificial Coloring.  What I love the most is that Farmacy products are not tested on animals.

Farmacy, Skin care, moisture, Farmacy Skin Dew, Farmacy Beauty, facial spray, beauty, makeup setting spray, Farmacy skin dew hydrating essence mist and setting spray, makeup spray, farmacy,

Over the last year, I have tried a handful of Farmacy products and I have really enjoyed each one, but I think the Skin Dew Setting Spray may be my favorite.  It has a refreshing scent that really helps to awaken the senses, it kind of reminds me of an herbal or earthy fragrance with peppermint and rosemary.  The color of the product in the bottle – that green hue, kind of freaked me out at first… but it also gave me the first impression that this product is all natural.  I love the size of the bottle because it makes it easy to carry with me on the go, but still offers a lot of product since one to two spritz will cover my whole face.  While the spray comes with a higher price tag than most, it really lives up to the cost in my opinion and I know it will be one that I’ll continue to repurchase when I run out.

Using the product is simple – simply hold the nozzle about eight inches from your skin and spray gently across the face.  You want to start at the forehead and work down to the chin.  Like I mentioned previously, use this mist to give you a vitalizing and energizing mist that helps to add the extra benefit of moisture or to refresh your makeup and use to seal in your the fresh look of your makeup when you’re done applying.  This is a great spray for summer because it really feels great on the skin and smells awesome.

What about you, do you use a facial spray whether for setting your makeup or just refreshing your skin?  If you do, which one do you use?  Have you tried anything from Farmacy or the Farmacy Skin Dew before?

About a month ago I was sitting around in front of the television flipping through channels when I stumbled upon QVC and Mally Roncal had some gorgeous goodies she had been debuting.  Now, I am a huge fan of Mally and I’m not gonna lie, in a matter of seconds I found myself in front of the computer ready to check out.  QVC stated that it had been quite a while since Mally (a makeup artist to the stars and creator, founder and owner of Mally Beauty Cosmetics) had a Today Special Value or TSV on the show, so I knew it was my time to pick it up and get it while it was available.  Today I’m sharing with you this lovely buy – one I’ve had in my possession now for almost a month and testing and playing with.  Since the set is still available on QVC, I figured this would be a great time to share with you.  Mally The Good Life 6-piece Color Collection includes a set of awesome high performance products with new goodies for 4K HD.

So what is this awesome collection?  The Good Life 6 piece Color Collection on QVC includes 6 products that offer high-performance quality to quickly enhance your beauty.  This kit is awesome, especially for busy moms that really want a quick pop of something without putting too much time into their busy days.

Check out the video on my YouTube channel as I show you all the goodies live.

4K Ultra HD Fantasy Foundation is a full coverage, hydrating, moisturizing, anti-aging, HD powder foundation.  Basically – it melts like a cream once you apply it to the skin and literally leaves your skin looking flawless, feeling soft and hydrated for hours.  Formulated to emulsify the minute it touches your skin – with awesome skin loving ingredients like coconut oil.  This foundation is nice and feels great on the skin so I have been loving it.  We all know I rarely use foundation but when I do I need one that will be good to my skin and not leave me feeling funky, oily and yuck.  This foundation feels really nice on and leaves my skin feeling smooth and soft.  This foundation is available in the shades Fair, Light, Medium, Tan or Rich.  I got Tan, but I think that I could have pulled off Medium as well.  This foundation will retail for about $38.00 once it releases.

You also get the Mally Beauty Foundation Brush.  This is a duo-fibre foundation brush that buffs the product into the skin.  It’s soft to the touch, but very dense which allows you to pack on color.  This brush is a little scratchy on me, even after washing, but it could be because my skin is sensitive, but overall I think that it would be a great brush if I didn’t have sensitive skin.  Because this can really pack on the color when using this brush – it can offer full coverage for the foundation included.  Since the foundation shade is a tad bit too dark for me (probably good for summer), I will probably choose another brush for application.  I could not find this brush listed anywhere – but I’m sure it will retail between $40 – $50.  The ferule is well made, sturdy and this is a really nice brush to add to your collection.

The More is More Mascara is a new release as well and coats the lashes for a dramatically dark, lush, “false-lash” look.  This mascara is a tad bit more wet than I would like for a mascara, but I LOVE the effect that it offers me.  It volumizes and lengthens leaving my lashes looking larger than they normally are.  This mascara’s wand it designed to allow you to apply the mascara the traditional way using the mascara wand horizontally and then changing it up to have the wand pointed vertically to help lengthen the lashes.  I do notice length and volume with just one or two coats… even with my small itty bitty lashes.  As we all know, my lashes are oober short, so the fact that they are noticeable and visible says a lot.  This mascara applies easily and I love how soft my lashes feel after application.  It literally feels like you have nothing on.  This mascara is not waterproof and can smudge on me, but I’ve been enjoying it nonetheless.  The mascara will retail for about $20.00 when it is released.

In the photo below I am using one coat on the top and one on the bottom.  If I build up my lashes more, you can definitely see a huge difference.

You also get the Mally Evercolor Shadow Stick Extra in Moonlight (a light champagne shimmery shade) and the Mally Evercolor Shadow Stick Extra in Smoky Quartz (a medium plum – brown shimmery shade).  Both of these are such gorgeous shades and have the same type of formula of the traditional Evercolor Shadow Sticks.  Moonlight is a gorgeous shade to apply to your brow bone and inner corner of your eyes to help brighten up your eyes and give you the look of being awake and the Smoky Quarts is a great shadow stick to apply all over your lid and lower lash line for a touch of sparkle and eye shadow.  The Evercolor Shadow Sticks are smooth and creamy enough to apply to your lids and blend them out, but set nicely for stay all day coverage.  These are perfect for those days that you want to look put together, but don’t have a lot of time to do your makeup.  If you purchase the Evercolor Shadow Sticks on their own – they retail for $25.00 each.

The Performance Lip Shellac in Cherry Blossom is a medium soft focus pinkish-nude shade.  This lip shellac is very pigmented and you get a punch of color in one swipe.  It is such a gorgeous color, but I’m not a fan of the sticky consistency.  I know I’ll get some use out of it, but wish it wasn’t so sticky.  I do know however, that it lasts longer than a traditional gloss because of the sticky texture and it is much more pigmented than a gloss.

This product is not available for sale yet, but should be about $20.00 when it is released.

Along with the collection, you also get a really cute pink and grey makeup bag to carry all your goodies.

In the collection there are products that are brand new and not available for purchase separately till August 1st.  The 4K Ultra HD Fantasy Foundation and More is More Mascara are new launches and not yet available till then.  Each product you get is in full size.  If the products in this set are purchased alone, you are looking at a retail value of about $170.00 and the Mally Good Life 6 Piece Color Collection is currently available on QVC for $62.00 (plus shipping).  When I purchased my set – it was $58.00 on TSV and you can always opt to purchase in 2 easy payments.

Since I’ve had this set now for about a month, I’ve been getting lots of use out of the products included.  When I’m looking for something extra and a little variation in my every day – mascara only – type of look, I pull out this set and add in some of the fun goodies that are included.  Considering the price point of this collection and how much each product is sold separately, I’m really impressed and think the cost of this collection is well worth it.  I highly suggest checking it out and seeing if this set is one for you.  You can purchase this at QVC.com.

Let’s face it, when it comes to beauty, everyone is looking for that “quick fix” product or the new trend in beauty.  I’m always looking for products that help enhance my features and I think I found one that I like.  Today I introduce you to Sublime Lips by Cheeky Physique.  A great way to get your pucker noticed with a product that offers fast results and a hydrating, feel-good formula.

sublime lips, cheeky physique, lip plumper, lip gloss, manuka honey, review, beauty, lips, lip gloss plumper, all natural beauty,

This awesome little tube of lip gloss goodness includes Sublime Lips ($25 USD – 0.34 fl.oz / 10 mL), a Manuka Honey Lip Plumper that literally takes your natural pout to the next level with its high impact combo of nourishing Manuka honey and advanced lip plumping ingredients.  You get fast results and a hydrating feel on the lips without the sticky that you would expect from a traditional gloss.

You can use Sublime Lips alone for a natural look or you can top your favorite lip color and add a little vavoom to your lips.  I love using Sublime Lips on its own but find that if I want to take my favorite matte lipsticks to a whole new level, topping them with these lip plumper will give them that little extra something.  When using this product, I find that you instantly get a tingly feeling on the lips – but it’s a cooling sensation vs. a burning sensation like other lip plumpers offer.  As you feel the cooling sensation – the circulation in your lips is gently being increased.  Within a few short minutes the lips will appear fuller and more defined.

This product (while does look a bit pink) is colorless and long lasting.  The formula has a great sweet honey scent, but it not overpowering at all for those who are sensitive to fragrance.  I love that it is not sticky and I can rub my lips together consistently (as I like to do) and it feels comfortable on.

Packaging is simple, but cute.  I love the pink that adorns it and the standard doe foot applicator makes applying the product onto the lips a breeze.  I like to keep my tube in my purse to apply on the go.  Because Sublime Lips is not sticky, it makes the perfect moisturizer for my lips while giving me a natural plump look.

Clinical tests for key ingredient HilurlipTM (a proprietary blend of hyaluronic acid and tripeptide-1) demonstrated the following results:

  • Lips achieved up to a 30% increase in fullness after 30 days. (A 9.2% increase was the average.)
  • 85% of participants noticed a volumizing effect.*
  • 70% experienced anti-aging and rejuvenating effects.*

Sublime Lips by Cheeky Physique includes key ingredients like: Manuka Honey (an ingredient that is packed with antioxidants, it’s the ideal ingredient to hydrate, nourish and protect the lips), Hyaluronic Acid (Sublime Lips contains hyaluronic acid microspheres that swell when they come in contact with skin moisture, hydrating and plumping the lips) and Tripeptide-1 (a natural ingredient that supports natural collagen production for visible volume enhancement.  Tripeptide-1 also helps protect skin cells from signs of aging for smoother, younger, sexier-looking lips.)

Since I have naturally full lips, I didn’t think that this product would do much in helping to plump them.  But after the first use of Sublime Lips, I noticed that my lips not only looked juicier but smoother.  And, what I love about this product is that while it has a gloss effect, my husband will still kiss me because it doesn’t feel sticky like a traditional gloss.  It has a little bit of tack to it – but overall feels like a lip oil with a little more body.

Above are my lips taken before applying Sublime Lips.  My lips have been exfoliated but do not have any lip balm on them.  This image was taken with my phone and has been cropped, but not edited.  You can see the fine lines in my lips and lack of definition.  I might also add that this photograph was taken right before applying sublime lips and first thing in the morning after my morning skin care routine.

Above are my lips after applying Sublime Lips.  My lips have had the product on for about 30 seconds and the tingling and cooling (while I can still feel them) are not as prominent.   Not only do my lips look glossy, but they look and feel hydrated, have increased in volume some what and look moisturized.  The lip line where my cupid’s bow is has plumped up some and doesn’t look as dark – leaving my lips looking smooth and juicy.

While the tingling does go away (and again, it is not that strong), I find that you still have a slight mint like feel to the lips until you remove the product.  With eating or drinking, Sublime Lips will come off but reapplying the product is not difficult and it doesn’t leave your lips feeling sticky or weird when the product is removed.  I absolutely love that this plumper includes Hyaluronic Acid, as it is a product I use daily on my skin and I can totally feel and notice the difference with this additive in Sublime Lips.

Have you tried anything from Cheeky Physique before or have you heard of the brand?  What about Sublime Lips?  When it comes to lip plumpers, I’m very particular and tend to not use them because I don’t like that they can burn, but I was very impressed with Sublime Lips.  Do you think this is something you could check out for yourself?  If you are interested in purchasing Sublime Lips or other products from Cheeky Physique you can visit their site here.
