Sally Girl Lipstick - Unity and Update

Hey guys I'm back!!! Finals weren't too stressful and I passed with flying colors =). I've taken the last week to just RELAX, let my brain destress from all the information I've crammed into it. Hah.
But it just doesn't feel like summer over here. It has been raining everyday! What is this?! Ugh, I planned to go swimming like everyday. Anxious for my trip to Singapore (I guess you guys can tell because I mention it in every blog post) - June 17th won't come soon enough!

I bought this a while back... I don't quite remember when. It was along with my Sally Girl eyeshadows.







Look how tiny it is!!! Unity is a peachy golden coral color. Quite unique.

REVIEW:
Product: 4/5

What the website claims this lipstick to be:

  • Moisturizing lipstick formula
  • Available in 14 sassy shades
  • Long wearing
  • Smooth application

These fun, mini-lipsticks provide rich, long lasting color to lips in a variety of shades. Moisturizes the lips and protects from environmental damage.

My Thoughts:
For $0.99 I am thoroughly impressed! This lipstick has amazing pigmentation and the color selection isn't too bad. The staying power isn't great, and I have to reapply every few hours. It glides on smoothly but the color is easily displaced. I do love how tiny it is! It can fit anywhere and it isn't a hassle to carry around. This color (Unity) is absolutely gorgeous and it gives my lips a nice golden sheen and coral color. I would definitely buy more of these products and do recommend everyone to try it. I want to try their lip glosses - has anyone tried those before? If so please tell me how you liked it.

H.I.P Bright Shadow Duo in Flamboyant

I bought this a while ago because I didn't have a yellow or purple eyeshadow so why not get both for the price of one!









So the first on the right is a really nice goldenrod yellow color. It looks kind of like gold dust. The second color on the left is a bright purple color. They are both highly pigmented, but the purple color is hard to work with. The yellow color has a metallic sheen but the purple color is matte. As you can see from the pictures, the duo comes with a mirror on the botton which is great for traveling. Now... for the review!

There are too many of these duos to list! I want to buy some more... but I never find any colors that appeal to me.

My Thoughts:
I don't find myself picking this up too often, but when I do I always get amazing results! These are colors that I wouldn't wear everyday. I find that when I pair the yellow color over my NYX jumbo eye pencil in French fries, it gives me an amazing neutral look! I shall be wearing that look more often. I actually used this duo to do my homecoming dance look because my dress was purple and it fit so perfectly! The lasting power isn't that strong, but I haven't used it over an eyeshadow base yet so I shall do that when I get the chance. My eyeshadows have been collecting dust in my drawer because I rarely use them in this hot hot weather... I rarely use any makeup for that matter. I have been exercising a lot to get ready for bikini season =P. I won't be buying any makeup for a while because I want to buy some asian products when I go to Singapore! I recommend this product!!

Whats in my Makeup Bag?

Well... there isn't that much actually. I got frustrated of never being able to touch up in school because I never carry my makeup around... so today I just threw a few things into my Roxy wristlet and it became my new makeup bag! Sorry the pictures are so crappy... the lighting at this time of day sucks.




What is in there?:
-Pond's Makeup Remover (the white stuff in that tub)
-E.L.F Shine Eraser Blotting Sheets
-Ulta Eyeshadow in Love
-NYX Jumbo Eyepencil in French Fries
-Sephora Slim Eyeliner pencils in white and black.
-Beauty Rush Lip Gloss in Strawberry Fizz
-Carmex Cherry Lip Balm
-Hair Tie
-Bobby Pins
-Clips
-Comb
-Cotton Swabs

And obviously the lip and eye products will vary from day to day depending what I want to wear. Sometimes I don't wear any makeup to school but have parties to go to afterwards so I'll put some makeup on there.
