Ciate London Glitter Flip

hello everyone, today i will be reviewing the ciate london glitter flip liquid lipstick. now i got this in one of my ipsy glam bags but you can buy the full size of this from sephora for $23.00 CND. the full size has 0.10 fluid ounces of product. the shade i have is called infamous which is a nude shade, but there are plenty of other shades in the range.

now by it's self the shade is super pretty, it's a dark brownish pinky nude with a pinky gold glitter. if this didn't have the glitter i would like this a lot more. the glitter just ruins the look for me although you can't really tell in this picture. the glitter makes my lips look really horrible. it makes any cracks or dry skin look a million times worse, any lines you have on your lips it makes them look bigger than they actually are. if there wasn't glitter in this, the formula would be perfect. it lasts a REALLY long time and even using makeup remover, you still don't get it all off. it is a pretty drying lipstick but not as bad as something like stila. i also just don't like the feel of the glitter, it makes the lipstick feel a bit gritty when it's dry. basically when i got my ipsy bag and saw this i was immediately not impressed. glitter lips are not my thing and this liquid lipstick just confirms that. stay away from this if you don't like glitter.

February Ipsy - What I Got

hello everyone, today i thought i'd show you what i got in my feburary ipsy glam bag. if you don't know what ipsy is, it's a monthly makeup subscription where you get 5 deluxe to full sized makeup products for $10. they also have a points system where you get points for reviewing products and can redeem those for more makeup! this month i did redeem my points for an eye shadow.

this is the eye shadow i redeemed my points on. it's the lush eye shadow by iby beauty in the shade midnight sky. never heard of this brand but can't wait to try the shadow out.

the first actual thing in my bag this month is this powder brush 50f from farah brushes. i'm not someone who uses a lot of face products so this is actually my second only powder brush. it seems to be decent thus far and the color is pretty cute.

next are these two sheet masks from sur.medic. to be honest all sheet masks feel the same to me pretty much but whatever. if it helps bring moisture to my dry ass face then i'll happily use it.

next up is this petite bunny gloss bar in juicy cherry from tony moly. it's literally like a lip smackers. but my review on this will be later.

next is this pressed eye shadow from meech and mia in the shade taupe. now i have tried their loose eye shadows and liked that so i am curious to try out their pressed shadows.

finally we have this be bright illuminating concealer from kokie cosmetics in the shade light. meh i really only use concealer on my eyes as again i don't often wear foundation but i guess i could give this a try. i'm not to sure about the color though.

so that was my ipsy bag for the month of february. it was....meh like i gave it a 2 out of 5. what did you guys get in your ipsy? i'm actually considering canceling as this is the second month in a row where i'm like...the bag was meh. what do you guys think?

Colourpop Build Your Own Palette

hello everyone, today we will be looking at my custom palette i did from colourpop. colourpop has the option to build your own palettes in various sizes. i did the small eye shadow palette and it cost me $30 for 12 eye shadows. i would actually like to own every single colourpop eye shadow but i know that's not going to happen anytime soon. anyway the formula of these are the same as every colorpop eye shadow so i'm not going to actually do a review. this is more of a swatch and tell if you like.

first up we have tea garden (a shade i have been wanting for a long time), crackle, conjure up and superzoom.

next we have pardiso, heavenly, meteorite and sandbar. i didn't have a hot pink like this in my collection until now.

next is antimatter, earthshine, try me and take flight. so i didn't actually know that earthshine was in the it's my pleasure palette so now i have two! and can we just talk about how pretty antimatter is!

Ciate London Wonderwand Mascara

hello everyone, today i will be reviewing the ciate london wonderwand mascara. now mine is a sample i got in my ipsy glam bag, but you can get the full size of this from sephora. the full size has 0.32 ounces of product and costs $26.00 CND.
the wand of this sort of reminds me of the too faced better than sex wand, it's got that almost hourglass shape.i personally prefer the more plastic like wands like the ones that covergirl use so right off the bat this isn't my favorite wand. i'm picky i know but whatever. formula wise it seems ok. doesn't flake off or really smudge. i've been out in the rain with this on and it thankfully didn't run even though this isn't waterproof. it gives decent length (although i already have naturally long lashes and don't really need it) and makes them look much fuller. it's a pretty decent mascara. i doubt i will buy it though as i honestly think that $26 for a mascara is a bit much but that's just me. nothing thus far will ever beat my $7 covergirl mascara including this. now ever though this did last well on my eyes it did irritate them a bit, so maybe if you have sensitive eyes stay away from this. i think though if you can afford it that you should give this mascara a try.

anti haul

look everyone it's time for another anti haul also known as, shit i'm not going to buy! and with spring around the corner you guys should have known that another one of these would be coming with all the new releases!

first up is the pretty mess collection from too faced. honestly the colors are boring and the layout of the eye shadow palette is just plain sloppy. not my thing hunny.

next up is this hg mini palette from violet voss. now to me this looks like a combo of the mini creme brulee palette and berry burst palettes, which i already have. so this is going to be a pass for me.

next up is the too faced natural lust eye shadow palette. to me this looks very similar to the natural love palette with very few different shades. to be honest many of the lighter shades look similar to me and just isn't that inspiring.

next is the urban decay naked reloaded eye shadow palette. you guys i don't know what's wrong with me but i'm just not that in to neutral eye shadows anymore. like this palette to me looks boring. anyone else think that?

next is the pisces palette from bh cosmetics. i wasn't that impressed with the first two from this mini zodiac line and this one is no exception. the brown shades in all three palettes bore me, however the green shades look pretty i'm not going to buy a palette for only three shades.

next is this collection from colourpop in collaboration with zoella. as much as i love colourpop again the colors just bore me, especially in the eye shadow palette. how many companies have done that exact same color story? like a million that's what.

that's all for this post. i shall do another one of these when i see more stuff that doesn't peak my interest.
most of these photos are from trendmood which is a instagram page i highly recommend you check out for new releases.

Color Club Nail Polish - Williamsburg

hello everyone, today i will be reviewing the color club nail polish in the shade williamsburg. i got this in one of my ipsy glam bags however you can buy this polish from the color club website. you get 0.5 fluid ounces of product and on the website it costs $8.50 a polish.
the color is a dark blue with a blue micro glitter, a super pretty color that the camera doesn't do justice. now i do manual labour for a job and therefore i don't expect a nail polish to not chip when i'm work. when i'm at home though i expect to be able to load a dishwasher and not have my polish chip. sadly this nail polish chipped within an hour of my putting it on. the polish is a little thick so i had to wipe a bunch off the brush and do a couple of coats to make the color full opacity. this felt like it took a long time to set and i don't know if that's the reason why it chipped so soon, but literally within an hour of putting on this nail polish this chipped with just me putting a cup in the dishwasher. the price of this to me is pretty much on par with some drugstore brands like essie but it sadly doesn't perform as well. i don't know if it's just the shimmer shades by them that are this thick and peely or if all of their finishes are like this. this isn't a nail polish i would go out of my way to buy.

Nomad Cosmetics Around the World Illuminator

hello everyone, today i will be reviewing the nomad cosmetics around the world illuminator in the shade ka pha nagan moonlight. now this is not the full size of this product, this is just a sample i got in one of my ipsy glam bags. the full size of this product is 0.35 ounces and costs $17. it is cruelty free, paraban free, mineral oil free and phthalate free. this is also made in china.

i did attempt to swatch it but this photo doesn't do it justice.it's a pale purple/blue shade which when you first look at it, looks like it would be a weird color for a highlighter. on me this doesn't look that great on my cheeks, so i use it in the inner corners of my eyes instead. the formula is pretty soft and pigmented but it blends out well or you can build it up which is what i do on my eyes. to me the formula feels very similar to the eye shadow i got from them. if your in to weird color highlighters you'd probably really like this.
