Swatches: E.L.F Studio Moisturizing Lipsticks! (New Colors!)

Three New Shades!

I'm truly excited for this post! Eyes Lips Face released three NEW colors within their Studio Moisturizing Lipstick line and they are crazy beautiful! I've reviewed these last year when they first released and loved them! Just to quickly describe them, they are: creamy, hydrating, vanilla scented and wears decently! These are only $3 each, super affordable. These new colors are to die for btw!

The packaging also changed since I first reviewed them and it's WAY better haha. It's a lot sleeker looking and I love the color indication on the bottom of the tube. 

Here are the swatches! You can tell how creamy this product is just by the swatch. Plus, it's pretty opaque in 1-2 swipes! It feels amazing on, very hydrating so this would be a great product for the winter time. Let's get into lip swatches :-)

*Wine Tour- a gorgeous wine- burgundy shade! This one is my my favorite and a must have for sure!

*Crazy Cranberry- a berry red shade, really pretty as well! They have a cranberry shade in their matte line too but if you prefer a glossy finish this is the one for you.

*Orange Dream- a true orange... pretty scary I wont lie! haha. I love how saturated the color is but honestly it's not the most flattering. It's a great color to have for Halloween and such.

These are the three new shades! If you like what you see make sure to place your order on eyeslipsface.com :-) 

Review: Wet n Wild Fergie Velvet Matte Lip Color in DJ Doll!

New From Wet n Wild!

Today I have a review on the NEW Wet n Wild Fergie Velvet Matte Lip Colors in DJ Doll! I found a full display of all the new items from Wet n Wild at Walgreens...except for the eyeshadows. I really want those palettes haha but lets focus on this lippie for now. They retail for about $3.50 each, not bad! I've been loving a matte lip lately so I was excited to give it a try but sadly I must report that it didn't work out.
I only picked one just to test out even though the shades were all beautiful. I'm trying to push the vampy colors aside and start picking up more spring-like shades which explains this coral one. To start off it has a very unpleasant scent. I can't describe it but it's kinda sour. Secondly, these are a twist up pencil but no need for that since my lipstick completely broke and slides right out the tube. It's pretty creamy which is probably why that happened but c'mon...
Lastly, it's such a greasy formula. I personally didn't get a matte finish whatsoever from this product.

You can see in the swatch that it has a glossier finish which is a bit misleading. It also has shimmer that transfers onto the lip. It's sheer-ish wash of color which I wasn't expecting. Overall, I just wasn't a fan.

It goes on a bit patchy too. Ugh.. it sucks because this would've been a pretty color if the formula was better.

Bottom line- I would pass on this color. I only tried one and it doesn't make me wanna try anymore. Maybe the other colors are better. If you've tried them, what are your thoughts? It's been a while since I've disliked a product this much but it's part of the trial and error process! :-)

Review: Maybelline Fit Me! Matte & Poreless Foundation + Powder!

New Matte Line!

Lots of drugstore brands are releasing their own rendition of matte products and it's quite exciting! I love a flawless, matte face but I've tried some so called "matte" foundations and they left my skin looking horrible. Maybelline released their Fit Me! Matte & Poreless Foundation and Powder which are said to mattify and refine pores while still looking natural. Big claims, let's see if it held up! ;-) For reference these are both around $7 at the drugstore, pretty affordable.

Let's start with the foundation:

Back in the day I tried the original Fit Me formula but I wasn't a fan. It just never set so the foundation was very visible on my face so I ended up throwing it away. This formula is very different, kinda like opposites! I found my perfect match which is something this line is great at, the color selection is really great. I found that the formula is really quick to dry which means you have to work fast with it. I did half of my face first and then the other side just to make sure everything blended well.

My skin is normal to dry right now so it felt a bit drying when I first tried it. The second time I made sure to moisturize really well and use a primer and it felt amazing! The finish is no doubt matte and very shine controlling! I was very impressed with the lasting power too. I didn't touch up at all which is so not normal for me haha. I was also pretty surprised with how smooth my face looked. My pores weren't as visible as usual so I loved that too!  My only con is that it can look flat when you wear it so I had to bust out my highlighters to bring some life back to my face. 

The Maybelline Fit Me! Matte & Poreless Powder is something I don't consider a must have. If your skin is on the drier side I don't recommend it because it tends to emphasize the dry spots on your face, specially around your nose. I don't find that it provides extra coverage and the foundation dries so quickly that you don't really need to set it. I tend to anyways because of habit haha. I think this powder would work best for someone with oily skin. I can see it being really good for shine control but for someone with dry skin it just leaves your face feeling tight and looking dry. It's a pass for me.

Here's what it looks like on:

Bottom line: I really enjoyed the foundation! At first I was "ehh" about it but after giving it a few tries and making sure my skin was hydrated it looked really nice! It's a very long wearing and makes your face a shine free zone which is awesome. It's also pretty affordable! I would personally skip on the powder, it doesn't do much at all. If you've tried it make sure to leave me a comment down below with your thoughts! :-)
