LA Girl lip palette in Irresistible

How is everyone summer V'kay going?

Mine is super fun... so far! Today I have a little treat for you guys. Lately I have been really getting into lip gloss palettes as I find it to be a better alternative to lip tints, because of it pigmentation. So Last week I got the LA girl lip palette in "irresistible" and had a ton of time to try it out. Sorry, but I just couldn't find it in myself to swatch them on the first day as they looked so pretty and creamy. The palette comes with 6 different colors (in my opinion 2 of the lip glosses look exactly the same). The palette I got seems to be filled with cool colors. As for the packing, I will admit that the packaging "looks" like a decent hard outer covering. However, when I dropped it on my wooden bedroom floor the palette opened up and my brush fell out onto the ground. But don't worry the lip gloss was safe and so was the brush. So "You get what you pay for". Now for the the brush the palette comes with is super cool and very travel friendly. It's very small and thin, but I am able to work with it. The applicator part picks up the color very well, but my only complaint is that it doesn't apply the gloss very evenly esp if you have bigger lips.

Now for the part you have all been waiting for... the pigmentation. So far the pigmentation isn't what I had expected. It provides more of a tint on your lips than actual highly pigmented colors. Although, you can chose to layer it to increase the pigmentation. I usually pick like a pink color and put on a sheer pink Victoria Secret beauty rush lip gloss to add shine and flavor to my lips yum. The only thing I don't like about this palette is the colors don't mix very well together. Lets say if you want to blend them or make a brighter new color on your lips and u mix purple with red its like the colors just "sits" on top of my lips instead of actually blending in together to create a nice shade. Either that or I am doing something seriously wrong. Lastly I feel like the lip palette actually dries out my lips so I have to wear lip balm underneath before I apply it to my lips. All in all they are still pretty decent. I will certainly be buying more! The next palettes I want to get is "sunset", "box of chocolates", and "passion".



My favorite colors are the purple one in the middle, that last mauve color, and the orange colors.

Pros:
Inexpensive
Have the option of layering the same color(From tint to high pigmentation).
Perfect for an everyday work or school look.
Creamy



Cons:
The packaging is cheap
If you drop it, it opens up
Color combos do not mix well together
Can be drying on the lips (spruce it up with sheer gloss to add moisture).
Doesn't last long on lips
Brush does not work well on fuller lips.

Would I recommend this product to a friend? YES! I think despite the cons, I think every girl should try it. There is something about this palette that no matter how many cons there are it still draws you in.

Urban Decay Sustainable box palette!!!

Hey all you beauty junkies out there!,
I am so excited about creating my first makeup post. Yippee! Let me first say this that it may be a bit crappy now, but I promise to improve it as time goes on. I am still getting use to this whole blogging stuff. So now that's outta the way down to business.

REVIEW:
I recently bought this Urban Decay Sustainable Box Palette during a 15% off discount deal Sephora had going on around last year Christmas. It came with a little mini primer potion that has alot of product if u take of that rubber rim. So far i am really impressed with this palette! It is a great introduction for those who never used Urban decay cosmetics before(like me...I know, I know I am a little behind). Some of their colors are highly pigmented and some of them just have a bit more glitter than color. I also think this palette can be used all year round as glitter looks great for the summer as well as holiday seasons. My only complaints about this box is that it has way to much glitter in some of the colors. For example, "Uzi" and "kiddie pool". Some of the glitter tends to fall into your eyes if u don't apply it carefully( like I did) which will cause you rub your eyes all day. The 2nd thing that disturbs me most is the way the box opens up with a useless mirror on the side. The mirror is really small the rotating cover can get in the way with the bamboo casing. Also there is somewhat a useless brush( which makes a eyeliner brush).

What it comes with:

• a mini Urban Decay Primer Potion
• A small, travel friendly, eyeshadow brush
• Side mirror (inconvenient)
• 10 eyeshadow shadow shades From Left to Right 1st Row:YDK, Flipside, Griffter, Uzi, Twice Baked, 2nd Row:Midnight Cowboy Rides again, Flash, Oil Slick, Kiddie Pool, and Half Baked)

Pros:

• Highly Pigmented
• Shades are eye POPPING
• Last all day( with primer)
• Blends Well
• Outer case is made from Bamboo

Cons:

• Some of the colors have way to much glitter (Uzi and midnight Cowboy rides again)
• The brush is very inconvenient, so is the mirror
• I hate the way the cover opens
• The brush barely pick up color as well as pack it on well.

Would I recommend this product? Yes, this palette is truly amazing and works well with my brown eyes. You can do a ton of eyeshadow looks with this palette. However, if you are not into glitter or a much older woman I don't think this palette would be right for you. For older women that have a few lines around the eyes the glitter fallout can actually make your eyes look older.

Thanks for reading! Stay tuned for my next blog...
