Review, Malibu Glitz Glitter Lips

These can be found on the Shopmissa website for a dollar each.

The formula inst bad, with a smooth creamy application, but its not the greatest formula ever, either. These don't feel chunky or gritty, which is great for these being a cheap glitter lipstick. They do have a scent though, and smell almost like a sugar cookie mixed with wax. I mean, its not unpleasant, and it fades quickly. Its not even noticeable once its on your lips, but I guess it could still be a turn off for many people.

The packaging is actually pretty good, I was surprised. Its all plastic, but its not basic, if that makes sense. These things have little see through heart shaped windows all over the tubes, with the top of the cap being entirely see through. I don't know, it just feels more lux to me than what most companies bullet lipsticks look like. Its no Pat McGrath, but I could see this being something by Lime Crime or Too Faced.

Wear time is pretty typical of a cheap bullet lipstick, it will need to be reapplied after meals, drinks, or smoking. This did not migrate all over my face on its own though, which is a plus. No issues with feathering without a liner.

Lit is a bright yellow gold shade, with what looks to be gold and copper toned glitter. This also has very fine gold shimmer running through it.

Nude is a nude shade with copper, silver, and a small amount of gold glitter mixed in. Its faint, but there is silver shimmer throughout as well.

Vintage Desire is a brown color, with copper and gold glitter. This has gold shimmer throughout.

Vamp Blaze is a brown tinted red shade with silver and red glitter, with brighter red shimmer throughout.

Personally, I think all of these are beautiful, and would be great for around the winter holidays. Plus each one is only a buck, so its not too big of a deal that you have to reapply often. I recommend these, especially if you're new to the metallic lips trend, and want to see how the fad would look on you. These are all "glitter bombs" though, and will get glitter all over anything they touch, especially when you're trying to remove them.

Review, Wet N Wild Megalast Iridescent Lip Color

*Photos will be added soon*

For the Halloween season of 2018, Wet N Wild released two iridescent lipsticks under the Fantasy Makers line: Unicorn Soul and Immortal Tears. Each tube was originally priced at $1.99, but I found mine on sale at Target for 98 cents a piece.

Packaging is nearly the same for both tubes, being black cheap feeling package in a normal bullet lipstick shape. Both feature unicorn artwork, and a holographic stripe similar to the color in the tube. Unicorn Soul's is blue, while Immortal Tear's is silver. Each lipstick holds 0.11 Oz/3.3 grams of product, and the lipstick itself is in the standard circular tube shape that the Megalast line of lipsticks is known for, but with the addition of a unicorn head stamped into the product. Neither lipstick has a scent. Both products are touted as being cruelty free.

Immortal Tears is a very sheer silver shade, with white and silver microfine shimmer. On the lips only the shimmer is visible, and can be worn lightly for only a hint of sparkle, or layered and built up for a very blinding look. Wear time for this shade was about 5 hours before it was mostly gone, but small patches of shimmer were still noticeable after 8 hours. This is smooth, and didn't dry out my lips. Shimmer particles do settle into any cracks or dry patches in the lips, though.

Unicorn Soul is a pale blue in the package, with blue, lavender, and silver microfine shimmer, but when applied to the lips, it changes into a unique pink shade with a blue to silver reflective finish. It doesn't list if it is ph reactive on the website, but it seems like it because of the color change. On me, it went bright pink, but it was a more subtle rosy pink on a friend. The reflective finish stayed the same between us, however. Wear time on this was mostly the same, with the pink gradually becoming more and more noticeable as time went on. The reflective quality of this lasted a good 4 hours before it was mostly gone. I can't really say much about how long the pink lasted, as it actually stained my lips pink for about two days after my initial wear test. This applies very easily and smooth, and didnt dry out my lips.

I cannot confirm, but Immortal Tears seems to be very similar to Too Faced Mystical Lipstick in Angel Tears, while Unicorn Soul is very similar to Too Faced Mystical Lipstick in Unicorn Tears. These might be possible dupes, but I don't currently have the Too Faced lippies to compare them to in person.

Review, Wet N Wild Coloricon Zombie Blush

For the Fall 2018 season, Wet N Wild came out with their annual offerings of limited edition Fantasy Makers products, and the Zombie Blush was one of them. At first glance, this looks like the worst blush that has ever been made, seeing as its green, but this has quickly became one of my favorite beauty finds of 2018.

To start with, you get 0.21 Oz/6 grams of product in a clam-shell compact case. Its harder plastic, with a see through top, but it still feels rather flimsy. The lid does have a removable decal of a zombie bite mark on it, but its still easy to see through, so you know what you're grabbing at first glance. This sold for $5.99 on the WNW website, and at Ulta, which I feel was reasonable.

The color looks like a greyish green in the pan, with brighter mint shimmer. On a brush it appears brown. Swatched, its a reddish brown color, with a bright green shift. Blended, its a light pinky brown, with a very subtle hint of mint sparkle. The formula is a powder, and its not chalky, and I haven't gotten any kickback or fallout from this yet with a soft fluffy brush.

As a blush, this looks wonderful on people with more olive toned complexions. I myself have light olive skin, leaning more warm and yellow, and it suits me well. However, I usually use this as an eyeshadow, since I prefer more simple and less heavy makeup. As an eyeshadow is where this product really excels, in my opinion. Its a gorgeous red/brown/green duochrome if used on the eyes, and the mint shift only gets stronger the more you layer.

Wear time as a blush (with primer) for me is about six to seven hours. Wear time as an eyeshadow with primer is also six to seven hours before it starts to noticeably crease.

This product is a very similar in color to:
The duochrome shade in the Wet N Wild Comfort Zone palette,
Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Lounge,
Colourpop Super Shock Shadow in Partridge,
Buxom Eyeshadow in No Faux
