MAGICAL LIPSTICK?? - Ciaté London Glitter Flip Liquid Lipstick Review & Swatches



Have you ever seen something get sent out, beauty gurus try it, rave about it, and you think it seems too good to be true? So then you have to try it and figure out for yourself if this is as life changing as they say? Yeah? Always. Same here - I'm so intrigued by product reviews and so it's no surprise that I went out and grabbed this the second I saw it in a PR unboxing.

Let me go a little more into detail... I don't think it's any secret that I'm absolutely OBSESSED with lipsticks. My collection is ever growing, and I still don't have all the shades.... it's shocking, really. You'd think I could make a rainbow out of my lipsticks - and while I can, it's never enough. I'm continually hunting down lipsticks of all sorts just to find "the one". The one that's my color, my style, the finish I like, has an amazing formula, and so on. Well, what if I told you I found a 2 in 1 lipstick??? I know, I'm sounding like an advertisement but bear with me....

OVERVIEW:


When I say "2 in 1" I mean 2 lipstick finishes in one matte liquid lip formula. Ciaté London has apparently made this happen with their new Glitter Flip Liquid Lipsticks. After the metallic liquid lipstick formula dries, you're supposed to be able to pucker your lips together and BAM - GLITTER LIQUID LIPSTICK! I'm just as amazed as a kid in a candy store to be honest.

This lipstick will run at $19 and contains .101fl oz. which is a little on the stingy side for a liquid lipstick. Compared to a few others such as Jeffree Star Cosmetics (.17fl oz), it is also extremely pricy. 
So far there are 7 Exclusive shades, ranging from dark reds to purples, an unconventional blue, and some pink-nudes. I decided to pick up Fortune, which is the purple shade because it matches my hair.

REVIEW & SWATCHES:


I don't know many lipsticks that come with an instruction manual, but this one does. It's simple: Apply one even coat, let it sit for one minute, press your lips together, and it's suddenly a magical glitter lipstick! Sounds easy enough. 

When I applied the lipstick, I noticed one thing especially - the shade was EXTREMELY opaque for a dark liquid lipstick. It's almost impossible to need another coat, so already that's a big win for me. I enjoy how lightweight the lipstick feels as well - it's almost weightless, but there's definitely a significant drying feeling that gives it some slight weight. The more you smack your lips together, the morel likely you are to feel as though it is uncomfortably dry.

(Enjoy my less than perfect lip swatches. I promise, I'll get better.)

SWATCH: PRE-GLITTER ACTIVATION


SWATCH: POST-GLITTER ACTIVATION



After waiting one minute, I smacked my lips together as the directions said and I couldn't believe my eyes! The lipstick actually turned into a glitter lip, as if by magic! I'm not sure what sort of sorcery is in these liquid lips, but I need more of them already! These are fun, cute, and very trendy! I feel as though these lipsticks would be awesome to have on deck for party favors, excellent for the holidays, and all around an amazing product to have in a collection.

Finally, wear time. I wasn't too concerned about how long this product wears because I was more so mesmerized by the beautiful glitter that was on my lips. I did, of course, remember to wear it for an extended period of time just to see how it held up, and unfortunately it wasn't as long as I'd anticipated. I feel like the formula is too thin to be an "all day" type of lipstick, but it's definitely not something to pass on for the sake of longevity.

OVERVIEW: 


All I can say is - WOW! I'm truly impressed by Ciaté's new lipsticks! First off, they're absolutely stunning - to have a 2 in 1 finish within a single tube is kind of impressive, so I'm absolutely in love. Their color selections are fun and ideal for the partying message they're trying to convey. These lipsticks are certainly a party on the mouth. I know that long-wearing lipstick is a true concern of a long of lipstick lovers, such as myself. I do think though, that this can be overlooked for the sake of something that's just as fun to apply as it is to wear. I mean, I personally don't mind showing people the magic that is my lipstick. Having a "look what I can do" kind of mindset when you go to reapply is optimal for drawing attention to you. No matter what, I think you'll be the life of the party with these. 
Are they worth $19? I'd say yes. You get a fully opaque lipstick with a magic finish and fun colors all in one. They're suitable for so many occasions that they're absolutely worth splurging for. I think if you're a collector of lipsticks or you're a makeup enthusiast, makeup artist, or just a lover of anything sparkly, these are for you!

I hope you have a wonderful night/day wherever you are! I will have more reviews up soon!

xoxo,
Lys

P.S: They aren't entirely transfer proof!

LIFEPROOF LIPSTICK??? - LipSense Review & MEET JODIE

Sometimes, I wake up to some pretty crazy DMs and e-mails from distributors in the Multi-Level-Marketing business. "You look BEAUTIFUL - buy my product!" "Be a tester for this really crazy trial that we don't mention you get charged for later!" The list goes on and on.. I've heard every speech there is and every excuse to get me to buy, but I continually said no due to the almost repetitive vibe that came off of the distributors. Bottom line, they were focused on making a sale and not speaking to the need of the customer. Soliciting at its finest, I suppose. As someone studying multi-million dollar business management and  seeing the unethical and unprofessional marketing ploys that these distributors held, I became appalled quickly. With the continuous scripts being sent in my direction, I decided it was time to turn away from MLM companies and closet them until another blog decided to take the bait and review the products, get sucked into the scheme

2017 WRAP UP IN MAKEUP - BEST & WORST OF THE YEAR

Before I get into this, can you believe that 2017 is over? I remember spending Valentine's day with my boyfriend and then all of a sudden - poof! The holidays are over and we're counting down from 10. I'll let you know that my holiday was amazing - I spent it cuddled up with Vlad, duh... It was the first time I spent this time away from my family, and while it was a bit scary, I got acclimated fast and enjoyed every moment. Anyway, this isn't about the holidays, this is about the makeup of the year. I wanted to give everyone a list of what I was blown away by this year and stuck with longer than I expected, and what I trashed, donated, or took back almost immediately. Without further adieu.... let's get started with the best: 1. Morphe x Jaclyn Hill Palette This palette was totally left field for me, because I wanted absolutely nothing to do with Jaclyn Hill or endorsing her in any way. Admittedly, I don't like the way she presents herself and never re
