L'Oreal Le Rouge Infallible Lipstick

I picked up L'Oreal's Le Rouge Infallible lipstick at Walgreens the other day in "Enduring Berry". I put it on the next morning, and ended up really liking it. I don't like the look of clear lids on lipsticks, however, said lid allowed me to see what color I was actually getting. I liked how smoothly and evenly the lipstick went on. The product made me lips appear moist and dark pink. It didn't settle into the lines of my lips, nor did it smear. I ended up being really happy with it; I can't wait to buy more L'Oreal lip products.

Sonia Kashuk Lipstick

I bought Sonia Kashuk's lipstick in "Violetta" at Target the other day; I had never tried any of her lip products. I put it on when I got home, and I really liked it. The packaging was nice and sleek: it was just a black tube with "Sonia Kashuk" emblazoned down one side. The lipstick went on smoothly, and the color was rich and even after only a few swipes. I loved the color; it was different than most shades of lipstick, but not to the point of being weird. The lipstick stayed on well, and did not smear, nor did it dry out my lips. I was very please with this lipstick, and I will be buying more of Sonia Kashuk's products in the near future.

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss

I picked up Revlon's Super Lustrous Lip gloss at Walgreens the other day in "Pink Afterglow," and put it on soon after. The lip gloss went on well; I only needed a few swipes of it. The gloss felt heavy on my lips, but it looked great. It had just enough shimmer and pigment, and it didn't settle into the lines of my lips. The lip gloss stayed on pretty well without smearing, and it didn't dry out my lips. I was really happy with this product, and I will probably try other shades of this gloss.

Maybelline Great Line Eyeliner

I had spotted Maybelline's iconic shades of pink and green at the store the other day, and was drawn to it. This wasn't a mascara, though; it was an eyeliner. I bought Maybelline's Great Line Eyeliner in Violet. I'll admit I was a bit skeptical; non-liquid eyeliners aren't exactly my thing. I ended up being justified in my skepticism. The eyeliner wasn't very pigmented, nor could I be very precise with it. I had to put on coat after coat to even get the color to show up, and even then, it was translucent. By the time I had put on so many swipes, I ended up with a very thick line. I ended up blending it a little and wearing it as eye shadow. On the bright side, it stayed on really well. I will likely end up using this eyeliner as an eye shadow stick; I will not buy this product again, however.

Femme Couture Monster Lash Mascara

I had wanted a new mascara that delivered a lot of volume, so I picked up Femme Couture's Monster Lash Mascara. I was drawn to the gold tube, and had high hopes for it. I ended up liking it! The brush was pretty standard; it was pretty much like the brush from Great Lash: cylindrical and easy to use. The mascara went on in just a few swipes, and gave me awesome volume and length. The mascara held it's effect pretty well, and didn't chip or flake. I will probably end up buying this and other mascaras from Femme Couture in the near future.

Palladio Lipstick

I picked up Palladio's lipstick in "Juniper" the other day at Sally's; I had wanted a dark red color. I put it on a few days later, and was fairly impressed with it. First off, it smelled like cake; I'm not really sure why. The lipsticked also went on very dark on the first swipe, and was completely matte. The color showed up as a dark purpley red, and it will definitely be my new go-to shade for night. It didn't settle into the lines of my lips, nor did it smear. It gave even coverage across my lips, and almost made my lips look cartoon-ey, as they were so well defined   The lipstick also stayed on very well without fading. I will definitely be buying more Palladio lipsticks!

ELF Baked Eye Shadow

I bought ELF's Baked Eye Shadow in "Burnt Plum" at Target, mostly because I wanted the materials to make a purple smokey eye. I ended up really liking it! I liked how the shadow was big enough to last me for a while, and how the package was clear on the top, so I could see what I was getting. The shadow was highly pigmented, and blended really well with my other shadows. I ended up using it as a shadow and a liner, which worked out pretty well for me. The eye shadow stayed on really well; I will be buying more ELF Baked Eye Shadows in the future.
