Price: $16 * Buy At: Sephora * Size: 4 ml / 0.14 fl oz The Sephora Luster Matte Long-Wear Lip Color in Nude Pink is a medium warm toned pink liquid lipstick with a semi matte finish. The Long-Wear Lip Colors come in a lipgloss-like package with a typical lipgloss wand. This shade is called "Nude Pink", but there is nothing nude about this color. Nude Pink has a very nice formula, it is very opaque and applies really smooth and even. It's similar to the popular Nyx Soft Matte Lip Creams, and in fact, Nude Pink is similar in color to the Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in Istanbul (which I will also be reviewing). The formula is a bit hard to describe, but I would say it's thin and slick, supplying the lips with a nice amount of moisture. XOX ♥

Price: $5.49 * Buy At: CVS * Size: 0.14 oz / 4 g The Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in 28 is a bright yellow based pink with a cream finish. The Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate lipsticks come in a black tube with Kate's signature in red on the lid. A color swatch, and the name can be found at the bottom of each tube. 28 applies pretty smoothly and evenly to the lips. It also has nice pigmentation and doesn't need to be built up to achieve an opaque look. The product does live up to its name, Lasting Finish. After a couple hours of wear, the product is still on the lips, and not just a stain of the color. I do think the color looks good on my cool skin tone, but it looks even better on people with a warm skin tone. I have two other lipsticks that are pretty close in color to the Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in 28. On the left is the Wet n Wild Pinkerbell MegaLast Lip Color, the Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in 28 is in the middle & the Nyx Stella Extra Creamy Round Lipstick is on the right. XOX ♥
Price: $16 * Buy At: MAC Counters & Stores * Size: 3 g / 0.1 oz The MAC Lipstick in Sweet & Sour is a soft peachy coral with a Cremesheen formula. Originally a part of the limited edition All About Orange collection, this lipstick has now became a permanent MAC shade, along with many other previously limited edition shades. Sweet & Sour has a very nice formula, like the rest of the MAC lipstick line. It feels comfortable and moisturizing on the lips and it's not too thick or too thin. Sweet & Sour also has the typical MAC packaging and vanilla scent. Despite it being a lighter color, it had very good pigmentation and didn't need much building up to be opaque. I really like this color and I think it will be perfect during the summer! XOX ♥
Price: $15 * Buy At: Sephora * Size: 3 x 3 g / 0.11 oz The Sephora Collection Bronzed and Blushing Face Palette is a sleek 3 pan cheek palette featuring one matte bronzer and two matte blushes. This trio comes with a medium warm-toned bronzer (Los Cabos), a light cool toned pink blush (Blushing Pink) and a darker warm coral blush (Coral Punch). Due to the nature of the colors, I think this palette is best fit for fair to medium skin. While the coral would work on many skin tones, the bronzer may even be too light on some medium skin tones and the light pink probably would not flatter darker skin. The pigmentation is equal throughout the shades, which is nice to see in a palette. The bronzer and light pink blush blend very easily, but the coral does take a bit more effort to blend into the skin. The packaging is quite sleek and slim, making it perfect for traveling. I had originally thought that the colors weren't very unique, but after searching my stash of blushes, I did not find a dupe for any of the colors. Los Cabos is similar to the popular NYC Sunny Bronzer, but the NYC bronzer has much more of a red tone. XOX ♥
Price: $6 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.14 oz / 4 g The Nyx Matte Lipstick in Natural is a slightly dark neutral plummy color with a matte finish. The formula of Natural is consistent with the rest of the Nyx Matte Lipstick line. It feels very comfortable on the lips and might just be the most comfortable, moisturizing matte lip product I've tried. It can feel a little dry during application the first couple of times, but once you've sort of rounded off the tip of the lipstick, it applies much smoother. Natural is almost completely opaque and doesn't need much building up to get an opaque look on the lips. XOX ♥
Price: $8 * Buy At: Target * Size: 0.27 fl oz / 8 ml The Revlon ColorStay Moisture Stain in LA Exclusive is a semi-sheer cool toned pink glossy lip stain. The ColorStay Moisture Stains have an interesting formula, and I think the best way to describe them is as a gel gloss. The concept is similar to the L'Oreal Colour Caresse Wet Shine Stains, but I'm happy to find that the Revlon version is nothing like the L'Oreal version. I absolutely hated the L'Oreal version and thought they felt very uncomfortable on the lips. Moving on, it has a flexible shovel-shaped applicator which makes application easy. I don't notice much of a staining effect with this color, but I think it's only because the color is on the lighter side. When the glossiness on the lips fade, the product doesn't leave a gross feel on the lips and the color doesn't feather or bleed. XOX ♥
Price: $5.99 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 2.9 g / 0.1 oz The Nyx Dark Circle Concealer in Fair is a light concealer with a peachy undertone. The concealer is a cream formula and comes in a small, plastic pot. The concealer has a slightly dry cream formula that is not thick. The product will be creamier in hotter weather, so you could try to warm it up a bit if you find it to be too dry. Due to the slightly dry texture, it can cling to dry patches under the eyes. It gives a medium coverage and does a nice job with brightening up the under eye area. The concealer does have a peachy tone, but it's actually pretty close to matching my NW20 skin tone, as you will see in the swatches. It wore all day on me without creasing, but, creasing under the eyes has never been an issue for me. XOX ♥
