REVIEW: ColourPop Cosmetics Ultra Satin Lip

ColourPop Cosmetics, the brand made famous by Instagram, has recently released their latest product innovation: Ultra Satin Lip. Before I get ahead of myself, let me give you some context. ColourPop is the self-described “fast fashion” brand of the cosmetics world and beloved by celebrities abound (I’d mention Kylie Jenner, but I don’t want to. So I won’t). With eyeshadows and lipsticks around $5 and … Continue reading REVIEW: ColourPop Cosmetics Ultra Satin Lip

Bite Beauty: The Lip Lab Experience

With Bite Beauty launching their new core collection of lipsticks, called Amuse Bouche, they will be forcing their former Luminous Créme lipsticks to shuffle off this mortal coil into the abyss of discontinued beauty products. As Amuse Bouche launches, however, the Bite Beauty Lip Lab in NYC is still currently whipping up custom tubes of lipsticks using the OG Luminous Créme formula. I was lucky … Continue reading Bite Beauty: The Lip Lab Experience

REVIEW: Tarte’s Tartelette Tease Palette

Let me start off by saying that I have been IN LOVE with Tarte’s Tartelette Collection since I first laid eyes on the OG Tartelette palette. Photo courtesy of tartecosmetics.com Not only were the colors some of my faves (and clearly everyone else’s too, judging by its popularity, but it was also ALL MATTE.

REVIEW: Bite Beauty’s ‘Best Bite Rewind’

I love Bite. Always have and probably always will, which is why I’m giving them a pass on releasing this kit. Don’t get me wrong. It’s fabulous, and I love it. I just feel that it’s a bit of a cop out, seeing as it’s the exact same kit they released last year. Hence the name Best Bite REWIND. Nice framing of the language there, … Continue reading REVIEW: Bite Beauty’s ‘Best Bite Rewind’

REVIEW: Sephora Favorites ‘Give Me More Lip’

I have to say, I was pumped when I first heard about this set. A mix of full-size and mini lippies of various brands from Sephora? I’m down. While $59 isn’t exactly pocket change, it’s actually a great value for all the product you’re getting. This set it already sold out online, so you’ll have to scrounge around in-store to see if any still exist. … Continue reading REVIEW: Sephora Favorites ‘Give Me More Lip’

REVIEW: Bite Beauty’s New ‘Mix N’ Mingle’ Lipsticks

Bite Beauty, a brand exclusive to Sephora (seriously, they don’t even sell on their own website! See for yourself), introduced these babies two years ago. Back then, they were $12. Now, they’re $14. A bummer? Yes. Unexpected? No. Still sad, though. Regardless, their price is pretty phenomenal. For $14, you get a double-ended lipstick, each end featuring a different Bite Luminous Creme Lipstick shade. Sometimes … Continue reading REVIEW: Bite Beauty’s New ‘Mix N’ Mingle’ Lipsticks

REVIEW: Stila Cosmetics Eternally Yours Liquid Lipstick Set

Another installation to the holiday kit reviews. Stila’s Stay All Day® Liquid Lipstick has never been as wildly popular as other brands out ther (think Anastasia Beverly Hills or even NYX Cosmetics). So I thought I’d give this cute, little kit a try. I’ll put the emphasis on “little.” While this kit doesn’t necessarily offer any less product than others, they definitely didn’t glamour up … Continue reading REVIEW: Stila Cosmetics Eternally Yours Liquid Lipstick Set
