Favourite lip liners of the moment

/ Analucascardigos / 6 Comments

Hi everyone , welcome back

Lip liners are essential to any makeup kit, they help prevent lipstick from bleeding outside the natural line of your lips. They also provide a perfect matte base for your lipstick or lip gloss to bed on top of your lips for extra longevity and coverage.

The NEW way to wear your lip liner is as a matte, all-over colour. With a bit of balm, you’re good to go—no lipstick required.

Most importantly, lip liner can enhance and perfect your lip shape, so that your lips look fuller and/or more even.

 

My favourite lip liners;

  1. NYX matte lip liner – SMLL07 Sandstorm
  2. NYX Lip liner waterproof – SLLP02 Bedrose
  3. L’Oreal – 374 Intense plum 
  4. L’Oreal – 630 Beige 
  5. MUA Intense colour  – caramel nougat 
  6. MAYBELLINE Colorsensational – 132 Sweet pink

NYX Slim Lip liners come in a variety of shades. The buttery, long-wearing lip liner formula goes on easily and resists bleeding.

Loreal lip liner  is so pigmented that one stroke deposits enough colour to cover pigmentation. The texture is exceptionally smooth and creamy.

Mua lip liner they are great to match to your lipstick, or wear alone. All come with a handy sharpener in the lid.

Maybelline lip liner is a  long-lasting lip liners provide a perfect start to your lip look.

Lip paint / Matte L’Oreal Review

/ Analucascardigos / 2 Comments

Hi everyone , welcome back

 

L’Oreal lip paint matte consist of vibrant statement shades with a glossy finish. As one of my favorite drug store brands, when I saw these came out – I knew I had to get my hands on them to test them out.

No flaking, no caking, no drying out. The shaped applicator allows for precise application for a flawless matte pout.
Longwear formula that lasts up to 8 hours….

Tips 

How to apply: 
1. For the most smooth finish, exfoliate your lips before applying
2. Use the point of the applicator to carefully outline your cupids bow
3. Fill your lips with colour, starting from the center and blending outwards

Overall, I like the L’Oreal Lip Paints! They feel so nice on the lips and have great coverage.

Have you tried these yet?

Thanks 😉

Victoria Secret Velvet Matte lip stain review

/ Analucascardigos / 5 Comments

Hi everyone , welcome back …..

Today I will do a review of ; sexy new lip obsession: high-intensity colour with a full-coverage matte finish and lasting stain effect, with conditioning vitamin E and olive oil for softness.

The Victoria’s Secret matte-lipstick collection includes 10 Velvet Matte Cream Lip Stain shades: Wanted, Desire , Adorned , Perfection, Obsessed , Impulsive, Tempting, Scandalous, magnetic, and Drama . They’re creamy, full-coverage, and super pigmented with a stain effect that lasts long after the lipstick wears off. I wore perfection almost every day  and really liked how it felt on my lips. The formula contains vitamin E and olive oil, and it really doesn’t feel dry at all.  I have the shades Drama, Wanted and perfection and I love it ….. 

Perfectly defines! And spreads nicely when applied ……

 

 

Because of the cream-like formula, you only need to swipe on one layer to get the fully opaque shade, no touch ups necessary. Even after three hours of drinking coffee and snacking, when the initial whipped layer had faded off my lips, I was left with a gorgeous, hyper-pigmented stain that felt silky. There’s even a wash of color on my lips when I get home after work…..

It won’t cake nor crust around your lips. The innovative formula also doesn’t feel sticky……

I definitely recommend

Thanks 😉

Garnier skin active micellar cleansing Gel water

/ Analucascardigos / 2 Comments

Hi everyone , Welcome back …..

The new Garnier Skin Active Micellar Cleansing Gel Wash claims to remove all makeup while cleansing and soothing the skin with a rinse off formula. Garnier says that this is safe for face, eyes and lips while having no perfume and is even suitable for sensitive skin. The packaging is very similar to the Micellar Water as you can see and I really like that they decided to do a pump on this as it makes it much easier to dispense the product and apply to the face.

In one easy step it cleanses skin and removes makeup all over the face , even on lips and eyes. Perfectly clean and refreshed skin without rubbing.

How to use : Apply to a wet face. foam up with water and massage gently in circular motions on face focusing on lip and eye area. Rise off.

I Love it because it’s simple and does its job perfectly, does’t cause any imperfections and remove all the makeup excess……

I use Garnier products for a while and I’m happy with it.

Thanks 😉

Makeup looks to inspire

/ Analucascardigos / 2 Comments

Hi everyone , Welcome back …..

We do not always have the time and skill to create that beautiful and elaborate mega makeup, right? As much as I love spending time doing my makeup, sometimes I have to choose the “basic and fast”

For that reason, 4 tips and suggestions for the day to day.

Starting with the classic that never goes out of style and leaves with an incredible result: the faded brown. Here there is no mistake, choose your favorite tone of brown and smear well, is a drawing created by a degraded by a lighter shade by the same color to put in the inner corner and the sides. The good thing about brown is that it is easy to fade and matches any occasion and look.

For those days of rush go for a lipstick. Choose a powerful mega lipstick like red, wine or brown, pass a little more lashes, a little light on the skin! And it’s ready! It looks beautiful!

If you feel like adding a bit of shine to the shape, but do not make too much of a mess, opt for creamy shadows that have a bit of shine (Maybelline have some nice options) and if you have time use a eyeliner…..

A classic makeup that Kylie Jenner is perfect for days of running around. She makes a faint butt on the outside corner that leaves the look sexy and powerful. The trick is to apply the correct at the end of the eyea nd leave that part well marked.

 

After these tips there are no more excuses for not doing a simple makeup, right? 😉
