Giorgio Armani Swatches, Haul and Reviews! Maestro Fusion Makeup and Fluid Sheer

Dear +GiorgioArmaniBeauty 

You are so very amazing, I am so happy I bought your makeup! I'm in lovee!

Hello Lovely Followers, Readers, Consumers, Makeup Addicts and Makeup hoarders,

I just wanted to share my Giorgio Armani Haul and review on the exquisite +GiorgioArmaniBeauty  Fusion Makeup Foundation, and Fluid Sheer liquid highlight.

Fusion Makeup: When I purchased this, I was looking for a matte foundation, that covered nicely, and didn't transfer. This foundation is everything I wanted and more! 

1) It is perfectly matte, and did not dry out on my skin at all. 
2) It is medium to full coverage, and I absolutely lovee how flawless my skin looked when using it.
3) This does not transfer! My holy grail!
4) I love the packaging, but I am not too crazy about the dropper bottle. I feel it's a bit messy. Being the neat freak that I am, I like to keep my foundation bottles clean, and it's hard to do with this type of bottle. 
Highly, highly, very highly, reccommended for combination skin. :)


Now, for the fluid sheer:

1) It is a liquid highlighter with very tiny sparkles of shimmer that look as natural as shimmer can look when applied on face and/body. 
2) Great shimmer.
3) Great texture.
4) Highly recommended, if you want that subtle glow.

Mix this with your foundation, or apply to the higher corners of your cheekbones for a beautiful glow.

Here are some photos. Enjoy! xoxo RipsyRipsy

Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Gloss Swatches on Youtube

Hi Everyone!

I am super excited to share with you my latest Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Gloss Swatches Video now on youtube!

For those of you who have been following my previous swatches, creating and editing videos has definitely been a learning curve for me. On the bright side, I am definitely  learning, and I am proud to say my latest lip swatch looks sooo much better. 

I am swatching the lip gloss colors, Petal, Warm Bronze, Tara, Kristen, and Butterscotch. I posted the link below and really hope you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed making them. 

Though I have been favoring lipsticks more lately, I absolutely lovee the Anastasia Lip Glosses and think it is a great option for the days when you want to give your lips more moisture. 

Anyways, enjoy the video and hope everyone has a warm and happy holiday season!

With Love,

Mac Haul! Lipstick, Eyeshadow, Lip Liner Review, and Swatches

Hello There Beautiful People!

Can we talk Mac Cosmetics for a second!? I passed by a Mac store the other day, and I couldn’t resist but to stop by since I was thinking about a specific Mac lipstick (Mac Heroine) I had been eyeing on for a while. Of course, my haul ended up consisting of more than just a Mac lipstick, so I thought I’d share my haul with everyone.

I purchased 2 Mac Lipsticks that were on my to-buy list for months! (No Really)

      

      1)    Mac Heroine (OMG so, so beautiful!)

      2)      Mac Dubonnet  (The most beautiful Brownish Red)

      3)      Mac Single Eyeshadow (Humid)

      4)      Mac Stone Lip Liner (where had this been all my life!?!)

Let’s start off with the lipsticks…

Both colors are very smooth, creamy, and pigmented. The Mac Heroine is the most beautiful shade of violet that makes me feel like a rebel every time I wear it (lol, I know,,,what a nerd!)

Also, whenever I wear violet lipstick, I keep remembering that scene from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory “Violet, you’re turning violet, Violet!” (loll, every time!) Anyways, I highly recommend both colors if you are looking for the perfect violet shade, and brownish shade lipstick.

As for the Mac Eyeshadow… Mac Humid is a gorgeous shade of deep forest green that when worn, can hypnotize almost anyone,,, ;)  soo pretty and pigmented.

Mac Stone Lip liner is a KEEPER!!! The color is just how it sounds, the color of stone. It is a perfect lip liner for pale nude colors like Jeffree Star Cosmetics Liquid Lipstick “POSH SPICE.”

It could also work with other nudes, I am soo in love with this color! Who knew lip liners could be so,, attractive?!

I hope this was helpful, and I hope you enjoyed my Mac Haul, Swatches, and dorky humor. If there are other swatches and/or reviews you would like to see let me know in the comments below.

Talk to you next time… xoxoxo

How to Clean Your Makeup Brushes! The Easy, Affordable Way.

                                                           

Cleaning your makeup brushes can be a painful and tedious task. What to clean it with? How to clean it? How long will it take? Will my brushes work the same way after? And let’s not even talk about how ridiculously expensive some “brush soaps” can be. I mean $20? Really? For brush soap? Really?!? 

I was a victim too, and completely fell for buying the beauty blender soap that worked for beauty blenders and brushes, but what I did not know is how quickly the teeny tiny soap finished. I couldn’t believe it, $20 bucks for soap for brushes that lasted me less than 8 weeks. (Ahhhh) I even wrote a review to try to warn others about that, but no joke, my review never showed up. 

So I did my homework and found a better, cheaper solution to help others wash their brushes without burning a hole in their wallet (from soap buying).

My latest tutorial has been created with very simple steps to cleaning your makeup brushes using products you probably already have at home. (Wowzers, finally!)

It’s fast and easy, but if you have a billion brushes and are trying to wash them all at the same time, then it won’t be as fast.

No more expensive brush soaps, because what I am about to show you will simplify your life. Here you go folks, and I hope this help you so you can move on to more important things to spend your money on.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Pure Hollywood and Too Faced Melted Nude

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick Pure Hollywood and Too Faced Melted Nude Reviews

Hi Everyone! 

So I have really been enjoying wearing nude lipstick lately and wanted to review both ABH Pure Hollywood and Too Faced Melted Nude lipsticks. I also have a nice surprise for you regarding each review which I will reveal at the end.

Abh-Pure Hollywood

At first I thought this would be a color I would never wear because I normally don’t like it when my lips fade out with my face (I mean, isn’t the whole point of lipstick for it to show?) Well I went outside my comfort zone and decided to give this a try and boy am I glad I did.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Pure Hollywood lipstick is a beautiful, sultry, sexy nude color that did not fade out my face! It is a liquid matte texture so it dries quickly after you put in on, and feels great on the lips, and stays on unless you  start to eat greasy food.

Do I recommend it? YES, YES, YES!

Tip 1:  Make sure to exfoliate your lips before wearing matte lipstick. (If you don’t the skin on your lips will be in the spotlight desperately asking to be noticed J

Tip 2: Wear your favorite lip balm about 20-30 min before wearing matte lipstick. (You can wipe it off if it feels too greasy after 30 minutes, but you may not have to, since it may already set in your lips).

Tip 3: This color is so versatile. (You can easily wear it with lip liner to create any other look your heart desires).

Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick Melted Nude

This is one of my favorite nude colors to wear on my lips! It has a beige-ish caramel color that I personally can’t get enough of!

 It is creamy, and does not feel drying on the lips. It will come off it you eat anything so throw it in your bag for reapplication to your liking.

Tip 1: Smell it, it smells soooo good!

Tip 2: I highly recommend this color if you’re normally not too crazy about nudes, but are still curious to try it.

And now for the surprise…

I started my own youtube (Makeuprb) channel to bring you a video version of all the beauty tips and swatches I would like to share with you and although they are new videos, expect for each video to improve to hopefully be helpful to you. Here are the links for the ABH and Too Faced Swatches.

Hope you all have a lovely day!

Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Foundation Versus Lancome Nude Miracle Matte Foundation Review

Matte Foundation Review Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Foundation  Versus Lancome Nude Miracle

Do you love Matte Foundation? Have you been looking for the perfect one and still not sure which one is good for your skin? Today I will be giving a review on the Urban Decay Naked Skin and Lancome Nude Miracle liquid foundations.

Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless foundation.

I have combination skin and I absolutely loved almost everything about this foundation.

Texture: It is very, very airy and really feels like you are wearing nothing on your skin. I really love how light it feels and doesn’t transfer on your hands, clothes, or anything. When I wear this foundation I do not have to set it with any powder, it dries to a matte, and doesn’t set in lines or feel dry, and doesn’t get patchy. Can it get any better?!?

Formula: It has a very light, liquid formula so when you pump it out, it looks almost like water. That’s totally okay, because that does not diminish the quality of the foundation. You just have to remember to shake it very well before each use.

Coverage: Medium coverage and buildable. If you choose the right shade, it will cover redness as well.  

Cons: I really, really, wanted to stick with this foundation forever, because I loved it THAT much! However, I had to stop because it was irritating my skin. After several weeks of use, my skin got red in random patches, tiny breakouts started appearing, and the texture of my skin was getting worse by each use.  There is some ingredient that is not working well with my skin that I may possibly be allergic to, so I had to stop using it. This may not be true for your skin, but just pay attention if you do start using it.

The Lancome Nude Miracle Foundation

Texture:  The texture of this foundation is also very airy. I would say this is more of a semi-matte finish and may need to be set with powder depending on your skin.  Personally, I do have to set mine with powder when I use this foundation. 

Formula: The formula of this foundation is also very light and runny. You do need to shake it well before use, so if you don’t mind that, it’s lovely!

Coverage:  The coverage is also a medium coverage. I was hoping to match Urban Decay’s Naked Foundation shade 3 exactly, but the colors are slightly different and have more of neutral undertones than yellow undertones as I was hoping.  It does cover redness if you choose the right shade for your skin.  

Cons:  I was really hoping that this foundation with set exactly the same way urban decay’s foundation did without needing to set with powder, but I find when I don’t set it with powder, it tends to transfer on my hands and everywhere else.  I also wish they had more options with shades that had yellow undertones, but it is fairly close to the color I was looking for.

Pros:  NO BREAKOUTS! NO ALLERGIC REACTION! Definitely feels much healthier on my skin, and I can wear it consecutively without any worries.

Overall, you just have to listen to your skin, its needs, and then choose what you think will suit you best.

I hope this review was helpful to everyone, please don’t hesitate if you have any additional questions!

Have a lovely day!!!
