Matte Liquid Lipsticks | Brand Comparisons

Matte Liquid Lipsticks were huge in 2015. It feels as though every brand you could think of brought some out. Huge brands such as; Colourpop, ABH, Jeffree Star and Stila to name a through, have released their individual matte liquid lipsticks.

For the last couple of months, I have been collecting a bunch of different brands of matte liquid lipsticks to try and review for you! These are just a few, however; I know this is going to be a long post. Hope you enjoy! PS: I don't like to wear face makeup when doing lip swatches, as I find it difficult to remove-sorry for the ugly!

Overall, my favourites were from either LA Girl or Colourpop. I love matte liquid lipsticks and I am excited to see more brands come out with them.

I hope this was helpful and that you all enjoyed! Xx 

November Favourites

Hey guys!

I’m so excited to be writing another favourites-it feels as though it’s been so so long, as I skipped a month. Despite that, I don’t even have a huge amount of favourites but let’s get into it.

Maybelline Hyper Sharp Liquid Liner

Holy crapola! If you struggle to do eyeliner flicks, this product will literally do them for you. It is so easy to use and creates a perfect line. Tip: wait for it to dry completely before blinking too much, it can transfer onto your lower lash line (easily fixable though, just get a thin eyeliner brush and brush it out).

Victoria’s Secret Strawberries & Champagne

I don’t wear perfumes. I mean, I didn’t even own any before this & I’m not sure why as when I put this on, I actually feel as though my outfit, makeup and hair are complete.

Jordana Blush in Coral Sandy Beach

I found all these Jordana products at a dollar store in NZ, so I thought I would try at least one, and I was not disappointed. I love blushes that are deeper pinks, such as this.

LA Girl Liquid Matte Lipstick in Bazaar

These liquid lipsticks are the bomb.com! I would say more… but something’s coming up.

Model’s Prefer Liquid Light Primer

The seasons have changed and in the southern hemisphere, it’s summer, and in my town it means it’s hot-SO HOT. I have had to change my primers up to something that will prevent my makeup sliding off my face, whilst feeling like I don’t have makeup on. This one is fabulous and does both these things well. Bonus: it also semi fills in pores-does it get any better?

Australis Tint My Brow

Brows are the one thing I always do. I have a routine down however; it’s always exciting to change up products. This brow tint has red undertones, which is great for some people however, I hardly notice them. I feel as though I can wear this alone, without filling my brows in before with a powder, and that’s how I know it’s a damn good product.

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

BEST CONCEALER DOWN. Not kidding, I need to buy like 30 backups. It can be used alone, under eyes and even to cover acne. It’s the absolute best and I regret not buying more (but I will find them online somewhere, I’m sure). PS: sorry for my ugly hand. 

Music Faves:

I’m about to do an entire post of all of my current favourite songs, so you can look forward to that (if you want to). But I will say, Love Me Like You by Little Mix is so good, you should take a listen.

Hope you liked! Xx 

May Favourites

Hello all!

It always feels like I go to sit down and write a post and I’m again writing my favourites! It’s so easy to write these posts as I just talk about what I have been loving!

Anyway, onto the goods:

Makeup:

Too Faced Original Chocolate Bar Palette

This was an enabled purchase for me as my sister was at Mecca and texted me saying, ‘do you want choc palette?’ and I said yes. For $65 I think this is a semi-luxury palette but everyone needs it! Firstly, this smells AMAZING and the pigmentation is so good! This palette can create both a natural or creative look.

Nars Laguna Bronzing Powder

Ugh this is the most adorable packaging. I love clean, cut things so this packaging is amazing in my eyes. It looks a bit orangey, but it doesn’t blend out that way. It is extremely blendable and can be used as a light contour. For $ 49 this is an expensive bronzer, however, if you love makeup like me, it’s worth it.

LA Girl Pro Concealer

This is the first concealer I have found that can cover these dreaded dark under eye circles I’ve been getting recently. I think the reason why is because it has a pink undertone. For $3, you can’t go wrong!

Rimmel Blush in Coral

This is an everyday colour that has a smooth payoff. It’s a coral shade that I believe would look good on every skin tone. It is great for adding a bit more warmth to my cheeks.

ELF Highlighter in Gotta Glow

I want to compare this to Nars Albatross as I think they might be the same. It’s perfect for the cheekbones and not at all chalky. I am amazed at how much definition this can give your face.

MAC Painterly Paint Pot

This is holy grail for me! I cannot put eyeshadow on without it first. It covers up all my veins and makes all eyeshadows pop. I would recommend this to everyone who wears eyeshadow as it just makes everything better.

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream

My lips have been terribly dry and chapped recently and this saved them! It isn’t tacky or liquidy which I love. It is a life saver!

Chichi Viva La Diva Lipstick in O.M.Nude

The perfect nude colour for light skinned girls! It has pink undertones but is mostly brown. The formulation is amazing (on par with MAC), and I need to collect more of these!

Music:

Kendrick Lamar

I love his new (ish) song King Kunta, which tells a historic story through song. It is incredibly catchy and if you have yet to hear it, do now!

Bad Blood Music Video Taylor Swift

PLEASE TAYLOR LET ME BE APART OF YOUR SQUAD IT WOULD MAKE MY LIFE THAT’S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.

Those are all my favourites for this past month, what are yours?
