I have heard great things about the NYX trio palette. Great color pay-off, very pigmented, and affordable. I ordered five. Next, I ordered eight Sinful Colors trio palette, one Arissa Lipstick, and three Sinful Colors eye brushes. I'm satisfied with the things I've ordered but a few of my purchases, I will not order again.
Let me start with the Arissa Lipstick in the color "DIVA". I'm a sucker for packaging, so when I first layed eyes on the package, it was a "like". Very sleek, simple black package; it feels like how Nars is packaged. It is NOT tested on animals(animal cruelty free) a plus for me. The color of the lipstick on the site is a bright purple color, that is the reason why I purchased it. When I recieved the lipstick and took it out of the box, twisted it, I was sooooo dissapointed! Far from Purple, more like a red, burgandy, fushia-ish hard to describe kinda color. Not what I expected at all. The color swatch on the web-site sucks! As for the texture and everything else, I actually like it. huh? Well, it has that MAC soft vanilla smell, and the texture and longevity of the lipsptick shocked the hell out of me! It is a creme finish(my opinion) very smooth, creamy and highly pigmented. I applied it in the afternoon and it lasted up until 10 O'clock that night. To be honest, when I awoke the next morning, my lips were still stained from the color.As for my review on the Arissa Lipstick in DIVA, I will not repurchase, love the name but the color is not for me! I will tell you that I am interested in trying a few of the other colors due to the fact I like the texture and color payoff, however, the color swatches are not helpful on the site, so I guess I have to take a chance on finding the right color, until I get it right! The L/S are only 3 bucks, so that's nothing to really complain about. Here are the swatches on my hand and lips.

I need a personal make up artist who knows what goes with my skin and what doesnt...i get super frustrated with lipsticks...expecially bcuz I have such full lips!!!! they make the wrong color look completely horrid...glad ur here to sample for me, lol
ReplyDeleteWell ordering online is a risk for sure because the swatches they show on the website are never the same when you look at it. I am a new follower and I have to say that you have a lovely blog :)
ReplyDelete@ fashion Therapist..Go for sheer application lipsticks, they're great for a person who is not comfortable with full coverage lipstick. Girl, do U know ppl pay to get them full lips. Retinol, Collagen injections...lol. I would advise you to use neutral & sheer color lipsticks like soft browns; that would go very nice with your skin complexion. Try it out & Let me know....Check Out my Revlon Sheer Lipstick Blog!
ReplyDeleteNot blog...POST!
