ColourPop Mic Drop Blush Stix Review & Swatches

Mic Drop

Colour Pop Mic Drop Blush Stix ($8.00 for 0.33 oz.) is a bright, vivid pink-coral with subtle, warm undertones and a natural finish. It had rich color payoff when applied directly from the tube, and it was more buildable from medium to full coverage when applied using fingertips or a brush. The texture was lightweight, emollient without being too wet or creamy, and easy to spread across my skin for a seamless, diffused application. The color stayed on well for nine hours before showing signs of wear.

Formula Overview

$8.00/0.33 oz. - $24.24 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to "blend effortlessly" with a "natural, skin-like finish" that can be layered or applied on bare skin. The brand recommends applyling directly from the tube for heavier coverage and using a brush to pick up product for less coverage, though the coverage "easily builds colour to your heart's desire." They dry down to a semi-set finish--lightly dewy, definitely "natural, skin-like" in appearance, but not overly tacky or really wet-looking. I haven't found that they migrate or move around much, so the formula is still longer-wearing at seven to nine hours with minimal movement. They have applied well and worn well over foundation thus far, too. They are not transfer-proof but are transfer-resistant; they won't smear around with an inadvertent touch but aren't fully locked down.

The pigmentation varied a bit from shade to shade, but most shades were semi-opaque to fully opaque when applied directly from the tube in one "swipe" motion, though I think mimicking this on cheeks isn't quite as easily done as compared to my arm. I preferred picking up product on my fingertip, patting on the apple of my cheek and diffusing upward and outward, then using a clean fingertip to diffuse and soften the edges as needed. I appreciated that even the deeper hues didn't seem to "sink" into my pores and were as easy to apply and blend out as very light, more my-skin-but-better (literally, my skin!) hues. I would describe the formula was buildable from semi-sheer to medium with semi-opaque coverage possible, but there's enough slip in the formula that it starts to sheer out noticeably even when applied more heavily.

The consistency was lightly emollient, lightweight, and thin with good spreadability and movement; it didn't lift up base products but still worked well over bare skin. I didn't experience it lifting up or creating patchiness over time on top of foundation, even when I set the foundation initially, but I would recommend (same as I would for most cream-based cheek formulas!) to pair with a less-matte foundation for optimal results (the dewy finish plays well with a more skin-like base).

Oh, the caps have the names of the products, but the rest of the tube doesn't, so if you have more than one open, take care in getting the right lid back on!

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.

Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Intense & Pillow Talk Medium Lipsticks Review & Swatches

-
Image
Pillow Talk Medium Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Medium Matte Revolution Lipstick ($37.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, dusty coral with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. It had medium coverage in a single layer that was buildable to semi-opaque coverage with a second layer. It was paired with a smooth, lightly emollient texture that felt more velvety than moist, so it glided on easily but didn’t feel slippery on. There was a smidgen of product that sank into my deeper lip lines but wasn’t noticeable in person (just in the close-up photos). It wore well for four and a half hours and was neither drying nor hydrating over time.

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 ...
