Wet N' Wild's Lipstick in Cherry Bomb ❤ Review and Swatches!

Yet again, I've another Wet N' Wild Lipstick for you guys! It's hard to turn down that $1.99 price point, especially when I've enjoyed the formulation of these lipsticks so much so far (though it was a shame that Just Peachy wasn't my color.)

This time, I picked up Cherry Bomb, a color I had bought with Just Peachy, but ended up giving to one of my friends soon afterwards since she had really wanted the color.

Cherry Bomb is a dark purple/berry burgundy color that leans a little brown, but can be layered for different color intensities. The formula is very much like the other Wet N' Wild lipsticks, but I actually found it to be a bit more drying and uncomfortable for long-term wear.

Maybelline Color Show Nail Polish in Go Go Green! ❤ Review, Swatches

A while ago, I found myself looking through my polish collection and wanting a certain shade of green. I wanted something chartreuse, something Shrek-colored, or at least a color close to it. If you read my last post, you'll know that I found that polish in Maybelline's Color Show Nail Polish in Go Go Green. 

I've never tried a Maybelline polish, or anything from their Color Show range, so I was excited to try this polish on for size.

Wet N' Wild's Just Peachy / 903C ❤ Swatches, Review

This past week, Rite Aid hosted a 40% off sale of Wet and Wild and a few other brands. I figured this was as good a time as any to pick up a few more Wet and Wild lipsticks, since the first two I reviewed had become staples in my collection.

I actually picked up three - one I bought for a friend, and a second I ended up giving  to a friend after we went back and discovered I had taken the last of that exact shade, so that's why this review is only covering one lipstick. 

I'm going to tell you guys straight up - this color doesn't look very good on me. I bought it in hopes of trying to find a more nude-ish color for myself, but I should have paid more attention to the actual name of the lipstick.

OCC Lip Tars in Anime, Black Dahlia, and Lydia ❤ Swatches, Reviews and Photos!

For the longest time, OCC Lip Tars were like a distant, far-off love. I enviously stared at swatches on websites, watched videos of people wearing and using them, and sighed, resigning myself to the fact that they would one day be mine.

One day came much sooner than I was expecting when I got two Lip Tars as Christmas presents! I was ecstatic then, but when I realized that Sephora sold Lip Tars online as well I got a third one in the shade I had drooled over the most, Black Dahlia.

(Just a warning - this post is very picture-heavy!)

Makeup Forever Aqua Rogue in #9/Burgundy ❤ Full Review with Swatches!

As you may know, I love lipsticks. However, it seems like lipsticks don't love me nearly as much as I love them, as I've yet to come across one that will stay on for their advertised amount of time. Unless the color is one that stains my lips (and even lip stains themselves don't do much for me), it's likely that I have to reapply my color after an hour or two.

So when I saw ICallItAmbrosia's video about the Makeup Forever Aqua Rogue liquid lipsticks and their insane staying power. I figured that if it worked that well for her, I should definitely look into them. So, I went into Sephora and swatched one on my hand to try it out. When I got home about 8 hours later, the stain was still there on my hand, so I put one into my Sephora order online. I was ecstatic! Finally, a lip product that would actually stay on my lips and I wouldn't have to re-apply.

Wet n' Wild's Wine Room and Cherry Picking Lipsticks ❤ Swatches, Comparisons and Review!

So a few days ago, I picked up two wet n' wild lipsticks for the first time since I was in elementary school. From what I remembered, they were quite bad quality bad then, but since I've gotten into makeup, I've heard so many positive reviews that I knew I had to try them out. 

The lipsticks I picked up were 906D Wine Room and 965 Cherry Picking. In terms of packaging, these lipsticks were a bit of a pain to open - you really have to twist and pull to get the clear plastic top off, and you're almost guaranteed to accidentally scrape some of the lipstick onto the top when you finally do wrench it off. The lipsticks also seem to be a bit loose inside of their casing - I can hear mine bumping against the sides of its case when I shake or move it, though it doesn't seem too loose that it'll fall out, thankfully.

But, let's move on to the most important part - the color and quality.
