VIVID MATTE

MAYBELLINE!

VIVID MATTE LIQUID LIPSTICKS

SWATCHES & REVIEW!

Shop the collection online!

My lipstick collection is by far the largest of all my makeup products. From satin and gloss,

sheer and matte in both solid and liquid formation. I love them all dearly. Lippie addiction is

very real and I am not ashamed to admit I have kind of a problem. I love to have all of the shades

available in each collection I own. The latest being these gorgeous matte beauties from Maybelline.

From their perfectly solid, stackable rectangular shapes, creamy smooth formula and strikingly

bold and confident shades, these have even gotten me questioning my previous hesitation towards

nude shades which I previously thought washed me out. Somehow Maybelline have got the balance

just right for my skin tone and the nudes from this collection actually work for me! I can hardly

believe myself!

Shades include - (Top to Bottom)

Posessed Plum / Berry Boost / Fuchsia Ecstasy / Rebel Red / Orange Shot / Electric Pink / Nude
Flush / Nude Thrill

In terms of longevity these are pretty tough and last a few hours before waring away. The matte

looks non drying and bold in pigment.

See how the swatches look in real life!

These and all other Maybelline products can be found in your local Priceline, K-Mart, Coles, Big W,

Myer, Woolies, Terry White, Price Attack, Chemist Warehouse & National Pharmacy as well as online.

MNY ELIXIR

~ MAYBELLINE NEW YORK~

The Elixir Lip Glosses!

Today I feel like talking about one of my favourite obsessions - lip colours!
These ones by Maybelline have been on the market for a while but they're still one of my
favs in terms of packaging, formula and shades.

If you'd like to see some makeup looks with me using some colour Elixir's
then be sure to watch the video below! :)

You can also find more info on all of the products mentioned in this video over on
M:Edition here!

These Elixir lip glosses come in 12 yummy shades.
I have these four below which I am going to now
share with you in more detail.

Blush Essence

#095

Now if you're not into bold lipstick you might initially skip right by this shade as it appears much
darker and pigmented in the tube than it actually applies on the lips.
This is one of my all time favourite lipstick shades for everyday wear as it barely appears to show
that you're even wearing a lipstick. The shade is so natural. It just gives a bit of life to your nude
lips by adding a touch of pink colour to them. Blushing them as the name suggests is an accuarte
way of describing it. These Elixir glosses do have a mild odd scent to them. I don't mind it though.
It's definitely not floral or a yummy smell, it is very unique. I cannot think of anything I could
compare it to to try to explain it. I suggest just having a whiff of a tester before purchasing just to
be sure it doesn't put you off. Also, I wouldn't recommend licking your lips whilst wearing these.
They do have a slight flavour to them which isn't all that nice.
I mean, they're not food, they're designed to look amazing (which they do!) not taste amazing!
Just sayin'!

Petal Plush

#100

This shade is similar to Blush Essence, however the tint is slightly lighter.
It reminds me of pale pink fairy floss. It is so light and pretty with a touch of shimmer and shine.
This is also an ideal shade for your casual everyday look as it looks so natural and pretty by
enhancing your lips natural shape and colour. I like to quickly pop a bit of this on my lips
on days when I've just chucked on a pair of demin shorts and a casual top and I'm heading out
to grab a few groceries or visit my sister. I feel like this would make a good first lip product
for anyone just starting out with makeup or are still quite young and don't want to over do it.

Signature Scarlet

#020

This Elixir shade is probably out of these four that I own the only one which actually
appears as vibrant in terms of it's shade on your lips as it does from just looking at the tube.
It definitely has that 'Signature' classic vibe about it being as it is classicaly red.
What I love about this particular shade though, is you can just apply a touch of it to your cupid's
bow and then smudge it out a little for a just bittin tint. Or you can totally build it up for an
all over bombshell, seductive look.

Caramel Infused
#065

This is a sneaky one as the name Caramel Infused has be thinking this shade must be some
kind of brown colour. However, even though it appears that dark, brownish, caramel tint
from the outside. Once applied it actually just lightly tints your lips into a shiny, medium
dark rosey pink! Actually, it is quite close to my natural lip colour. This shade doesn't contain
the tiny shimmer particals that both Blush Essense and Petal Plush have. The formula is very
smooth (Not that the others with the shimmer are gritty at all, they're not!) and the unique shaped
applicator makes it easy to apply as it glides from side to side along your lips.

BABYLIPS

~ MAYBELLINE ~

Baby Lips in Mango Pie!

You know those days when you just don't feel like loading up the makeup

onto your face? When you don't have plans to leave the house so what's the point?

Well, to be honest, I have quite a few days like that. As I am a stay at home mum.

I don't usually wear lipstick at home everyday, but I always like to wear

some kind of balm at least.

The Maybelline Baby Lips have got to be my favourite kind!

The packaging is so bright, colourful and happy.

There are so many different flavours, it's easy to become addicted and wanting

to collect them all. I am currently on a strict de-cluttering

diet so I only have four and that's enough to keep me going for now.

The current fav of the bunch is this Mango Pie flavoured scent.

It's so yummy, I find myself kicking my lips constantly!

Not only does it taste yummy, it also feels nice on the lips.

Glides on smoothly and leaves my lips moisturised, soft and supple for a few

hours before the need to reapply without feeling like I have a heavy gloss of balm

suffercating them.

As you can see, my lips look natural and nude.

The Balm doesn't give off much of a tint to your lips at all,

so it's perfect for all ages. I love that young ones can wear it too!

My 3 year old, like most little girls loves any opportunity to dive into

my makeup and play dress up. At least with these they can't make too much

of a mess and they don't end up looking like a crazy clown afterwards!

Color Tattoos

____________________________________________________________

I don't have any real tattoos, personally I think they really suit and

look awesome on some people, but they just aren't for me.

However, this sort of tattoo, the makeup kind, I am more than happy to

play with and explore! Being able to create different styles, looks & effects

that I can simply wash off if I stuff it up or tire of it, at the end of the day

makes me much more comfortable with exploring brave colours!

Today I share with you two bold, vibrant shades from my collection.

Pomegranate Punk

I would describe this shade as maroon with tiny shimmer throughout.

Much the same formula to the NYX eyeshadow base in Pearl which I love

and use almost everyday! I am not shy when it comes to shimmer and being a

bit bold with makeup. I love to experiment with colours and textures!

What I love about these Color Tattoos is that they are buildable.

You don't necessarily have to wear them as boldly as they appear in their pots!

You can use them as a base to really make your powder shadow pop,

or wear them in their own right, allowing them to shine!

Fierce & Tangy

This colour is much more daring but works surprisingly well when

applied sparingly and blended with slightly darker and warmer shades.

I like to use this mostly as a base in the inner half of my lid which opens and

brightens up the eye area. Then completing the look with say the Pomegranate

Punk as the base for the outer half of the lid with a slightly lighter,

(or darker depending on the time of day and occasion!) similar shade

over the top and then blending the two together. I love these shades because they

work nicely together, perfect for all seasons but especially for Autumn/Fall.

What shades do you recommend work well blended together?
