MAC Viva Glam Gaga


With my unending search of my HG foundie, I go to the cosmetics counter and I got tempted just by looking at these pretty products. We'll yesterday I decided to get my Clinique moisturizer at Nordstrom and ended up buying Viva Glam Gaga and MAC blush in Springsheen. Actually this is my first MAC lipstick, I've been wanting to get this shade but I just ended up killing my lemming for expensive stuff, in short I have discipline before than I do now LOL. But seriously I know the difference of high end versus drug store products. You can tell the difference just by the sample they give me at the cosmetic counters. I'm really happy because the Nordstrom people where I live are super nice, they give me good amount of sample here and there, weather you buy or not. 


I've been swatching this baby many times at the cosmetic counter and I love love the color. I don't need to tell the detail of this lippie as I am 3 years late in addiction of  MAC. Except I don't like lady gaga! 







Above image without watermark is from Musing of a Muse pic, which describe a better look of it. Let's see if this would be my favorite lipstick, I need to try it out for a week yet, wearing at work today though :)

* light bubble gum smell
* last for 4 hours

I WILL DEFINITELY BUY AGAIN!

Maybelline Colorsensational Pearls Edition

I was kinda disappointed with the Colorsensational lippies as far as their texture, it comes out dry but I love the colors. I spotted this at my local store the other day while grocery shopping and I was like wow! they heard the reviews lol. I grabbed 2 shades and I LOVE it! Its so moist and that's what I was looking for. The color is lighter and which I prefer for the summer weather. It says it has a Pearlize effect but not too visible. Its like you are using a light lip gloss.



I took a closer pic, the packaging is lighter in color than the original sensational edition. It has 10 colors to chose from. They are all beautiful! I don't know if this old, new or limited edition. I didn't see any display in the cosmetic section in Walmart or Walgreens yet. When they come out with a display like that I assume that its new because new products usually comes with the display thingy, dunno how you call it :D.


I got CORAL GLEAM and PEARLY PINK





PRICE: $7.49 each
             I got it on sale for buy 1 get one 50% off

PROS:

  • creamier

  • moist

  • light shimmers only

  • can be use alone or on top of another lippie

  • light effect

Pardon me its CORAL GLEAM! not cream

Maybelline's Colorsensational in Pink Please



This colorsensational lipstick was lunched several months ago I guess and I bought one just to try it. I was in love with the color thinking it would look good on me. Soon as I went to my car I tried it, to my dismay it was real dry on my lip, considering I often use carmex every minute I think of applying it. For once in a while I keep coming back and try to use it but it feels the same on my lips, DRY! I don't know if its just the PINK PLEASE that too messed up in the line. Any ideas please???

CONS:
  • too dry on my lips
  • make the lines on my lips too visible
  • doesn't glide on smoothly
PRO:
  • I love love the color until now I'm looking for a good and budget friendly alternative.
  • smell so good
PRICE RANGE : $5 to $6

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Carnation


There's lots of  raves about the new Revlon Colorburst Lipstick lately. I just go with the flow and picked up one in the store yesterday. Having a hard time getting the exact color on my camera as sometimes it appears too light and too dark now it messes up the real exact color. For probably been trying 50 times and editing it, this is the exact real shade in person. I don't even know why I picked this shade up, the cap doesn't match the exact shade once you open it. I wish this is creamier, would have been pretty.I don't  like the color though, I would probably buy another shade to match my skin tone. I like the way its moist and doesn't need a lip balm before applying it. I don't wear red lippie, I just don't, it feels awkward to me, I never like the color red at all in my entire life except for some occasions that I NEEDED it. I think this is perfect to wear for a night out, instead of wearing a  catching red lipstick I'm gonna wear this!

PROS
  • glide smoothly
  • moist doesn't dry your lips
  • bright pink with glaze
  • shimmery
  • would definitely buy another shade
PRICE: $6.48 at Walmart

Weight: .13 oz/3.7g


 This is the swatch, as you can see the shimmery effect, too bright!
