Best & Wrost NARS Orgasm Collection (Summer 2019)

-

The new, NARS Orgasm Collection, might have been intended as the 20th anniversary celebration of cult product, Orgasm Blush, but it fell rather short of anything resembling a real celebration.  I’d argue that the Endless Orgasm Palette was the “star” of the launch, and it was the worst of the collection and certainly on track to be on at least a few worst-of-2019 lists.  When the product you’re celebrating is a blush, and you put out a palette full of products designed to be used on the cheeks (and eyes and lips), you’d think it would, at least, be a stellar cream blush but no.

The new Orgasm Lip Tint is decent but for many, not particularly memorable or so much better than a slew of other, pink-tinted glosses on the market.  I think the fact that the Orgasm Liquid Highlighter wasn’t very practical to use as a standalone highlighter (like on cheekbones) is going to cut its potential audience down–it did work well on the body, where it was easier to stretch out a drop or two without worrying about precision or base products.

Anastasia x Jackie Aina Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

-

Jackie Aina Anastasia Jackie Aina Eyeshadow Palette ($45.00 for 0.392 oz.) is a new, limited edition palette that features 14 shades across three Pressed Pigments and 11 eyeshadows in various finishes, from matte to pearl to metallic. Where this palette shines is in its cohesive, yet versatile, color scheme. The left side of the palette has a pink/purple vibe, while the right side is warmer, earthier with taupe and green brown. There’s a nice mix of depth, undertone, and finish to create many looks. The mattes in the palette are some of the brand’s best; they had some of the soft, lightly powdery nature that most expect from the brand’s formula, but I had hardly any fallout from the mattes and found them to be quite pigmented and blendable overall. A couple of the shimmers seemed a bit too loosely-pressed, but as long as you’re someone who doesn’t mind applying with fingertips or a wet brush (or if you normally use a tacky base), I don’t expect that to be a deal-breaker. The thre...

MAC Cheer Up Glow Play Blush Review & Swatches

-
Image
Cheer Up MAC Cheer Up Glow Play Blush ($30.00 for 0.25 oz.) is a brighter, light-medium coral with subtle, pink-leaning and moderately warm undertones paired with a satin sheen. There was very faint and fine pearl throughout, so it didn’t have a full-on matte finish but did not appear overly shimmery either. The texture was smooth to the touch and malleable where I could push against the surface and get a lasting indent, but it didn’t have the traditional wetness of a true cream blush. It felt more like powder once it came into contact with my skin, and I didn’t have issues with the product lifting up base products when I patted this over my liquid foundation. It had semi-opaque, buildable coverage with a fingertip and more semi-sheer, buildable coverage with a brush. It wore well for eight hours before fading visibly. MAC Glow Play Blushes launch February 6th and will be available in 11 shades; see the collection information here . Top Dupes Formula Overview Ingredients ...

YSL Rose Nu, Rose Blazer, Plum Tunique Rouge Volupte Shine Oil-in-Sticks Reviews & Swatches

-

Rose Nu (88) YSL Rose Nu (88) Rouge Volupte Shine Oil-in-Stick ($38.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a medium pink with warm undertones and a natural sheen. The lipstick yielded medium color coverage in a single layer, which applied evenly and didn’t settle into or emphasize my lip lines, despite being a creamier, more emollient formula. It felt lightweight and was comfortable to apply and to wear as it felt like a balm-lipstick hybrid. It lasted well for four hours and was hydrating over time.
