Buttery Lips with NYX Xtreme Lip Creams

Why would anyone make a lip product that smells like butter? Maybe one day the NYX creators of the recently launched NYX Xtreme lip creams will reveal their secret. But for now one just has to bear with the scent for a short while before it fades. 
So these come in 11 colours but I just fancied these two; Natural and Candy land. Can you tell I love pink? These are really pigmented and smooth, glides onto the lips like ….butter! They give you a nice shine so no need to wear gloss. The only issue I have with these is that they applied a bit streaky on the lips, think of a streaky nail polish where you need two coats. But applying two coats made it a bit messy. So stick with a thin coat first and then apply another to touch up the bald spots! I felt I needed a natural lip liner with these though. Call these a liquid lipstick in a lip gloss tube with doe foot applicator. 
So more about these two colours! Natural is a well a natural colour, soft pink while Candy Land is like a Barbie pink. If you look at the swatches they both look like lovely colours on their own and they are just that, but against my medium dark skin tone I felt they stood out. The lips were certainly the center of attention with these two colours even though I was wearing bright eyes. Do you see what I mean?

Now don’t get me wrong I love how they look but just feel like they are not colours I would reach for often. Maybe with a neutral eye and on the weekend when I have a bit more time to apply them properly, they might get some more use. Of course, when I want to look like Nicki Minaj these would be my first choice!
Go Xtreme!

    Love the pink! One thing though. I think the brows need a slight bit of re-shaping. Other than that great work. I can also see a difference in your photos. The pictures have nice sharp quality

      Oh i still like these just that they are not the easiest to work with. I still want to try the soft matte lip cream ones though. My skin... well maybe it's part good genes and part good lighting! hehe

Revlon Sculpting Blush Palette in Pink

I have never been so disappointed in a Revlon product before… until now! Maybe I chose the wrong colour for my skin-tone but there are so many other things about this palette that makes me think I should have bought some more lip butters instead. Let’s start with what I do love about the palette. It’s simple black compact that has the same sleek look as the other Revlon photo-ready items. I find a highlighter, contour shade and blush in one palette is a great idea too. Having more blush colour in terms of quantity with smaller sections for the highlighter and contour makes perfect sense since I will use more of the blush anyway. The colours as they appear in the pan look perfectly coordinated to work with each other. You get a small brush with soft bristles in your kit to ensure you can just pop this in your bag and you’re off.  In the sunlight Now here is where it all goes downhill like Jack and Jill with their pail of water. Let’s start with the swatches which made me think twic

Today's challenge utilizes the technique of dry water marbling to create your pattern. I'm doing a twist of it but doing a needle drag i.e using a needle or any fine point for just a smidgen of swirl to the colours used.
