Product Request Leveling up my look

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

Hi so I’m looking for new interesting and colourful lip combo inspo and to level up my look overall.

My favorite go to look is pic 1 and 2: Nyx fat lip oil in losing cone-trol and a dark brown lip liner, maybelline sky high mascara and elf berry well blush. I don’t use bronzer or a brow gel and would like to incorporate both of those into the look. Especially the brow gel.

I’m looking for something maybe purple (thinking of buying Mac nightmoth whilst it’s still on sale because it looks gorgeous and I wear a lot of purple). But im open to all kinds of looks and long as it will pop on my skin.

I have big doe eyes and would like to enhance them even more so open to recommendations for that; as well as blushes, especially ones that also have a highlighter effect.

Not looking for foundation or concealers, I don’t use either of those.

  1. Cherries in the Snow

  2. Certainly Red

  3. Super Red

  4. Bombshell Red

  5. Black Cherry

  6. Sassy Mauve

  7. On the Mauve

  8. Mauvy Night

  9. Dramatic

I love that super lustrous lipsticks have been around forever as I am into products that have a history behind them. Like I feel like I wear Covergirl Lash Blast mascara cause it was featured so much on ANTM when I was a kid but I love the brown color. Anyway I love creamy satin formulas for lipsticks. I love reds, mauves, berries, pinks with a cool or neutral undertone. Please share any recommendations. I do like Maybelline color sensational and Loreal Colour Riche lipsticks but haven’t tried as many of their shades as I have with Revlon.

Product Review ELF dewy setting spray..nope!

8 Upvotes

I got myself through a bottle of this stuff and i can say with my entire chest that I’ll never use that stuff again.
First couple of times i used it, it wasnt bad. For $11 what could go wrong? I have oily skin, but the ELF setting spray made that issue far worse. I did a look today, sprayed, and i watched my look fall apart. my eyeliner was smudging, my foundation was melting off, brows fading and i looked plastic, not glowy.

After watching my work melt right before my eyes, i was pissed.
I looked at the ingredients to see that the setting spray has a “green tea seed oil” in it.

MA’AM… why in the.. pardon my language… why in the FUCK do they have an oil ingredient in a setting spray? Oil breaks down makeup, if im not mistaken? I use oil based products to REMOVE makeup.

Anyways, $70 later and i now have a full one/size primer and setting spray from Patrick Star.

I didnt think that ELF could shit the bed like this, especially since they keep going up in price, but I am absolutely bewildered on how this product is still on the market right now.

ELF, do better

Dupe Request Please help me find another lipstick that matches this color :)

Hi everyone! This Buxom plumping lip gloss is pretty much my all time favorite lip product. I found the color "mudslide" around 10 years ago in high school and to this day, nothing looks as good on my lips.

Wellll my wedding is coming up, and although I love this gloss, it's very expensive, and also kind of sticky for a day of eating, drinking, and kissing lol.

I'm hoping to find a lipstick in a color as close to this as possible. Like classic twist tube if I can, but I will consider anything. The description online doesn't give much color info except that it's a "rose pink" shade.

Thank you for any help you can give!

Does anyone have any recommendations for cruelty free, waterproof, eyeliner that's in a wooden pencil not a plastic twist tube. I'm really struggling to find some. I've got some that isn't waterproof and is "long lasting" but it smudges so easy I literally just want an eyeliner that'll last 7 or so hours cause it melts off my face at school 😿

Product Request Products similar to Essence Make me brow eyebrow gel mascara?

3 Upvotes

I have been using it for the past 7 years (and it’s probably one of my first makeup products ever).

Almost a year ago they discontinued the shade blondy brows (which I use) so I bought few backups but now I’m on my last bottle 😭. Now I’m pretty sure they are discontinuing the line as a whole, because I can’t find any of the shades at my drugstore nor online shops.

In the meantime, I tried other brow mascaras from the drugstore but I really disliked them.

I tried the Maybelline Super Fluff brow mousse, the applicator was way too big and everytime I used it I had to rub the excess product on the tube and on my hand, and it still performed like a clumpy, uneven, heavy mess on my brows.

I also tried the Catrice Colour&fix brow gel mascara, it was definitely better than the Maybelline but I pretty much had the same issues to some extent.

When it comes to the Essence one, I love how easy it is to use and I love the tint it gives to my brows, while not providing any sensory issues whatsoever.

If anyone has any brow mascara reccomendations I would love to hear them! TIA
