Trying out Beauty Big Bang’s Metallic Lipsticks

Hi lip lovers,

Look who’s back with a LIPSTICK blog post? MEE!!

As you know, or if you don’t, I love love LOVE lipsticks! They are my favourite makeup products!

So today, I shall be writing a little something something about these Metallic Lipsticks from BeautyBigBang. Remember I have a 10% DISCOUNT CODE – KEZZ10 – that you can enter at checkout!

Beauty Big Bang ever so kindly sent me these six Metallic Lipsticks to try out. You can check out my video which shows you how they applied and how they swatched onto my lips.

Here are my thoughts –

Firstly, I love the packaging they come in. The tubes are made up of rose gold packaging and that was already a win for me. They all have this sweet sweet scent that reminds me of the Milani Amore Matte Lip Cremes.

The lighter shades I found that they weren’t as pigmented as the darker shades when applied on the lips on their own. BUT when I applied a matte lipstick and then applied Candy Champagne on top I simply loved the effect.

Now this I didn’t do on camera but if you follow my Facebook Page then you would have seen what makeup look I created last weekend. And indeed I applied the Milani Amore Matte Lip Creme in the shade Sweetie. I let that dry and then I applied the Candy Champagne shade from BeautyBigBang and I loved the effect!

What I also noted from the lipsticks was that they are a little bit sticky when applied onto the lips. Therefore, applying a lip balm to moisture your lips beforehand will help decrease the sticky effect.

The lipsticks last long and do not transfer. They do dry down to a matte finish. The glitters of course of the lipstick does transfer, but they’re glitters so I really don’t mind that!

I think that these lipstick are worth trying out especially now that there are so much Festivals going on and you want to create that Mermaid and Sparkled look!

The shades mentioned (In the same order as they appeared on the video) – 
Shade #32 – Chill Mauve

Shade #36 – Rose Gold On Acid

Shade #31 – Candy Champagne

Shade #34 – Stripper Pink

Shade #35 – Delirium Purple

Shade #33 – Cloud Pink/Blue

Which shade was your favourite? Comment down below!! 

Thank you so much for reading.

Sweet Sparkle Unboxing – November – Precious Metals (Better late than never!)

Hi everyone,

Yes I KNOW! This unboxing is a tad late! I know it is late because November was 2 months ago and I already received my December box which I still have yet to try out.

The look I created with the November Box

Unlike Lip Monthly I like doing full videos related to Sweet Sparkle because if you don’t know, the box sends out a couple of products whereby you can create an entire look! So I like just opening the box and filming myself to see what look I create with said products. However, I do not think that is going to be the case for the December box.

Comment down below if you want to see a video of me unboxing the December box as well as doing a makeup look with those products!

Anyways, so here is my video, 2 months late of the November Sweet Sparkle Unboxing.

You could visit their website right here on – http://www.sweetsparkle.com

A Month Subscription costs $24.50 so it is a little bit pricey however, we get products from drugstore brands (such as Jordana, Wet n’Wild, LA Girl etc… ) which for us Maltese we don’t see much of.

However there are different plans you could sign up to and if you want to have a look you can click here.

The November month’s theme was Precious metals and so we got a pure metals fluid eyeshadow and metallic lipstick which I was excited about because I don’t own anything metallic in my collection!

BUT I was disappointed with this box because unlike the previous boxes we did not receive a MASCARA and I don’t think it was worth the money. I didn’t even receive the Precious Metals theme card we get every month. So it was a THUMBS DOWN for me.

Here is the video –

Here is what we received – 

Beauty Treats – Roses Eyeshadow Palette

This is an eyeshadow palette which I have used this eyeshadow palettes on other occasions besides for this video. That means that I liked it especially the rose pink shade I used in the video.

The eyeshadows are quite powder-y however I was not bothered by it.
Absolute New York Products – Pure Metal Veil Fluid Eyeshadow – in Champagne

I loved this product and loved experimenting with it. It emphasised my lines on my eyelids but concealing them and setting the concealer it should help.
LA Girl -Glide Gel Eyeliner

For the makeup look I created I wish I never used this product. But applying this product on its own with maybe one coloured eyeshadow on my eyelid would be great!
Jordana – Coral Sandy Beach Blush Powder

The blush is not my favourite colour however, it applied well on my cheeks.
City Color – Highlight Trio Palette

This highlight I LOVE! I love using the 2 lightest shades in the palette. Cannot see that yellow one as a bronzer as it has chunks of glitter inside.

I don’t like bronzers like that. But I love love love the last two light shades; they give a lovely highlighted look.
Klean Color Metallic Lip Gloss

I have never ever tried a Metallic lipstick before until tryout this one. It is a little sticky and it is not my favourite colour however the brand’s formula is amazing as it dries completely matte and lasts quite a long time!

So what did you think of this month’s box? Are you subscribed to this subscription? 

Thank you so much for reading, and I wish you a lovely day/evening!

Lip Monthly – April 2016 Bag!!

Hi lip lovers,

How are you all doing? I had a really relaxing week so far mostly because I stayed home as I was a little ill. So I did not end up going to work. But today I went back to work, and all those relaxing moments I had seem to vanish away and I am back to being stressed.

Am really not looking forward to tomorrow and Friday simply because I haven’t been to work from morning till 6pm for a week now so I am afraid of it. I do not look forward to coming home and falling asleep and waking up and doing the exact same thing.

Nonetheless, since I work full time at a school this will all be over soon because summer holidays are coming. However mine really will not last long, maybe a week. Because then as one school ends another one opens i.e. Summer School.

Eurh …. hard life!!

Enough chit chat Kezia – Here is the video –

Anyways I am here talk – or in this way – to write about what I received in my Lip Monthly subscription bag this month.

I have to say it is not one of my favourites. The lip gloss it included was super tiny. The lipstick we received was of a similar shade to the one we received in March. And the eyeliner is not that good of a product. And also we got 2 lip glosses and let’s just say I am not too fond of those glosses. I mean come on … who likes it when you put on lip gloss and you are walking near the sea on a romantic date. There is the breeze and the waves of the sea swooshing about. And all you are doing and what you are focused on is the constant irritability of your hair. Constantly sweeping across your lips and getting stuck!!!

Anyways here is a little information about lip monthly –

Review – L’Oreal Infallible 24 Hour Foundation

Hi lovelies,

Happy Sunday !!

Hope you are having a great one!

Yesterday I uploaded a video on the L’Oreal Infallible 24 Hour Foundation.

This foundation has the following:-

1. An AIR LIGHT texture with a DEMI MATTE FINISH.
2. A SUPER GLIDING MATTIFYING FORMULA with a high water content for maximum comfort that lasts.
3. It contains shine defy blotting spheres that act like blotting paper to mimic makeup artist gestures – instantly absorbing sweat and oil without disturbing color pigments.
4. Medium Coverage
5. Comes in 12 shades!!
6. It promises to hide the appearance of fatigue and blemishes

I love this foundation as it really does not leave your face looking solely matte left without a trace of shine!

The only problem I find with this foundation is that it does tend to Highlight my PORES .. so I have to make sure to blend well and try to hide them as much as possible !!! Since it is a matte foundation it dries quickly, so you have to be QUICK at applying it.

Hope you enjoy watching my video.

And I hope you enjoyed reading my blog post!!

Love Kezzie

Number two: It has the cutest … and I mean the cutest text effects, filters, transitions, overlays and effects! These are so simple to use!!!

Number three: You can create split screen effects that I do not find in any other video editors that I have used!
