Trying out Beauty Big Bang’s Metallic Lipsticks

Published on July 6, 2017July 6, 2017 by KezziesCorner10 Comments

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.

And as Spring has just rolled in I had to do my Favourite Spring Lipsticks. However, this video was a collab with Daisy Taveras. You should really visit and support her channel as she does amazing makeup videos!!

My top 10 lipstick picks for this season are –

This is such a gorgeous fun pink to wear. It isn’t light or bright but just in between! I love the formula of these lipsticks too – they are so moisturising!
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream – Prague

prague 1

I love the Soft Matte Lip Cream’s from NYX! And this is quite similar to the shade Blush from before. However, this shade is more matte than the other and it is slightly darker!
Gerard Cosmetics Hydra Matte Lipstick – Summer Lovin’

This is an out there kinda’ pink!!! Something that is bold and fun to wear! Reminds me of Nicki Minaj! Nonetheless, you can rock this on a night out makeup look.
(EBAY DUPE) Kat Von D Liquid Lipstick – Double Date

Even though this is a dupe it is still a pretty shade. I had to reapply it a couple of times to get the finished look. But then it settles nicely on the lips!
Essence Matt Matt Matt Longlasting Lipgloss – Shade 5

shade 5 1

This is such a gorgeous pinky red! I love the way it settles on the lips and it isn’t all that matte but has a slight sheen to it.
Milani Amore Matte Lip Cream – Amore

I love the scent of these formula lipsticks! This pink red shade is just GORGEOUS! Wear some eyeliner and mascara and add this, and you’re good to go!
MUA Velvet Lip Lacquer – Sizzle

This is a lovely burnt orange shade. I guess orange is a more autumnal colour however I like this for spring as it isn’t dark!
Golden Rose Liquid Lipstick – Shade 8

shade 8 1

This again is a lovely pink shade – very fun and bright!

Colourpop Haul/Review/Lip Swatches

Published on September 1, 2016 by KezziesCorner2 Comments

Hi Lip Lovers,

How are you feeling?

Ah!!! It’s the first day of the month of SEPTEMBER!! Summer is nearly OVER!!!

Yesterday I uploaded a NEW video up on my youtube channel.

If you are not already subscribed to it, then what are you waiting for – head on over to http://www.youtube.com/KezziesCorner

Recently I ordered from Colourpop as they now also do international shipping.

I have ordered twice from their website. Once using “Send On” which is a Maltese company from Maltapost – our national postal company.

What this basically does, is it has PO boxes in America, so you can order from those websites that do NOT ship to your country and first have it send them to these PO boxes then the company will ship them out to you.

I used that the first time, and the second time I used Colourpop’s shipping as it is now available to ship to Malta too.

However, when having it shipped directly here from Malta, I risked paying for customs as well as already having paid the shipping fee on their website which is $25 which is a lot. Unfortunately, I was selected to pay a custom fee of €7 too! Which is kind of ridiculous. When I ordered with Maltapost’s Send On I only had to pay €18 for shipping. As shipping in the US is free, so I did not have to pay any shipping to Colourpop but only the Send On service.

The only negative thing that I can think of coming from send on is that it takes longer to arrive. But if I had to do it again I think I would just opt to use send on. Of course the price of the shipping which you have to pay is determined by the weight of the package. So I had ordered six lipsticks and for those I only paid €18 shipping.

Anyways, enough post talk… here’s my video that I posted.

The products that I mentioned –

Ultra Glossy Lip – Finders Keepers

This is a perfect natural gloss on my colour of my lips. It is not sticky which actually may make it not so long lasting. Therefore further applications of the gloss probably would be needed throughout the day.

But that does not bother me, as lip glosses are so easy to apply … if there is no wind brewing around!!!

Lippie Stix – Lumiere

I love the Lippie Stix formula. If you think that the matte lips are way too drying then I would choose these instead.

I love the finish that it gives, it runs smooth on my lips and makes me feel as though my lips are bare but in fact have a lippie stix on them! The packaging is super cute with a roll in to adjust the applicator.

The shade is a nice everyday pink shade.

Ultra Matte Lips – The formula of this collection is AMAZING. It is so long lasting and you can eat whatever you want because let me tell you – the product doesn’t come off! Yes it may get lighter at the centre of your lips but the overall colour will remain stuck on your lips!

It could be drying, so I recommend that you would apply a lip balm before using them to keep lips moisturized and prepare them for the Ultra Mattes!

Lumiere 2

This is a lovely deep pink toned shade. It is a little dark.

StingRaye

This has been stopped and I don’t know the exact reason why. It was a collaboration with Raye Raye who is a famous youtuber !! I love her and have been watching her videos for years now!

This shade is a deep nude/brown.
