Price: $3 * Buy At: Walmart * Size: 1.8 g / 0/06 oz The Elf Studio Praline Matte Lip Color is a dark neutral rosy red with a matte finish. It's a twist up product and is like a skinnier version of a jumbo lip pencil. Praline has great pigmentation, but can also be sheered out for a not so intense color. I think Praline is a very unique color and is a great choice for a darker lip that isn't a typical dark plum or red. I can't be sure since I don't own it, but I've heard that Praline is a dupe for MAC Bad Girl RiRi, which was limited edition. Even though it is a matte lip product, Praline is not drying and applies very smooth to the lips. The Matte Lip Colors have a subtle sweet scent and taste, but I don't think it would bother people that are sensitive to fragrance. XOX ♥

Price: $3.99 * Buy At: Walgreens * Size: 1.4 g / 0.05 oz The Milani Bella Eyes Gel Powder Eyeshadow in Bella Ivory (01) is an ivory with a "satin matte" finish. The Bella Eyes Shadows come in a gold compact with a clear lid, similar to the their Baked Blushes. In the center of the shadow is pushed in, giving the surface of the shadow an uneven shape. Even though these are called "Gel Powder Eye Shadows" they do not have a squishy or plush feel at all. I imagined them feeling like the Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blushes, but, they feel exactly like any other powder shadow. Ivory is a bit on the sheer side, but it does have nice pigmentation. I was under the impression that this shadow would be pretty matte, but it does have tiny pieces of glitter. The glitter isn't super noticeable, but I personally would not use this shade as a brow highlight because of it. XOX ♥
(Full Size) Price: $22 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.4 oz The Urban Decay Perversion Mascara is the newest mascara from Urban Decay and is described as being bigger, blacker and badder. I have a sample size of the mascara, but the full size tube looks the same. The Perversion Mascara comes in a black tube with purple writing. It has a fairly large, natural bristle wand that is quite dense. Right as I started putting on this mascara, I knew that I liked it. It is super easy to apply, it goes through the lashes effortlessly and doesn't clump at all. This mascara also gave me some intense length. It can look a bit spidery, but I still really like the results. It doesn't add much thickness to the lashes, so Perversion would be a great choice to layer with a thickening mascara. I used two coats of Perversion on my top and bottom lashes in the picture. XOX ♥
Price: $6 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 8 ml / 0.27 fl oz The Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in Istanbul is a medium warm pink liquid lipstick with a matte finish. Istanbul comes in a matte lipgloss-like tube and has a doe foot applicator. The Soft Matte Lip Creams have a very opaque formula and are extremely pigmented. This does make the product not the quickest and easiest to apply, though, and I wouldn't suggest applying it without a mirror. The feel of the product on the lips is interesting and hard to describe. It feels thin and moisturizing but almost in an oil way versus a balm. It is in no way an oily product, but that's the best way I can describe the feel. The matte finish does make dry skin on the lips noticeable, and I find it best to apply a lip balm prior to the Soft Matte Lip Cream. XOX ♥
Price: $2.99 * Buy At: Walgreens * Size: 0.25 oz / 7 g Walgreens has released eight new flavors of their EOS-like lipbalm for the summer. Lemon Ice is a yellow balm in a white package, Cherry Lemonade is a red balm in a yellow package and Strawberry Banana is a yellow balm in a red package. The packaging has a plastic-y feel and is flat on the top and bottom so it can be set down on a flat surface. The lip balm feels very smooth and moisturizing on the lips, like an average lip balm. All three of the lip balms' scents and tastes are pretty close to the lip balms' flavor. To see how these lip balms compare to EOS, click HERE. XOX ♥
Price: $2.49 * Buy At: Kmart * Size: 2.2 g / 0.8 oz The Jordana Touch of Pink Blush (18) Powder is a warm pink with a matte finish. The Jordana Blush Powders come in a circular, plastic package with a clear screw on lid. I absolutely love the formula of these Jordana blushes. They are extremely soft, smooth and buttery, making them very easy to apply and to blend out. In addition to the great formula, they also have amazing pigmentation and don't need to be built up at all. Touch of Pink is a perfect color to give the cheeks a healthy, natural look and I think it would work during all seasons. XOX ♥
