Milani Bedazzled Collection

So I have been stalking Walgreens and CVS for these Milani lipsticks for a few weeks now and I finally found them today at a Walgreens close to my job. They only put 2 lipsticks on the display which sucks so I got two of each one for me and one for my make up artist friend Rosie. These lipsticks reminded me a lot of the Mac Riri Collection that first came out Heaux and Riri Boy. At first I wasn't interested in the Enchanted Topaz because I feel like I have so many nudes and I've realized that a lot of the ones that are not pink toned don't really suit me, but being the make up collector that I am I realized I had to have it. The Enchnated Topaz was a orangey type nude that required a lot of swipes to get the desired color. Overall I liked this collection and you can't beat the price for $4.19 a piece. This was my least favorite of the three:

Excuse my bad skin, lately I've been having bad breakouts. This is was just a quick swatch at work so it's nothing special but so you can get an idea of the type of nude it is. I can only describe it as almost having an orange tone to it. It's alright but nothing out of this world for me.
These are the swatches on the hand including the emerald gel liner, I wasn't overly thrilled with the gel liner because it didn't really pull as emerald as I would've liked. It looked more grey to me with green sparkles.

I liked this purple a lot but it wasn't as pigmented as I expected. It's almost an exact dupe of Riri Boy which is awesome for the people were not able to snag it when it was released. Purples have been in a lot lately and this is a good one to add to your collection. You have to apply a lot of it to get a pigmented look. 
This red looked a lot darker in the tube but actually applied like a berry color, I think it's a great color for fall and goes good with everything. I would wear this one again.

Colour Pop Cosmetics in I ❤️ this lippie stix

I know I've been MIA for a while but I haven't really been purchasing a lot of new make up because I'm on the broke side. I currently am sampling this lip stick from colour pop cosmetics, it hasn't been released yet so this is a pre release review. 


The sample is of a lip liner and the lippie stick itself. Normal packaging nothing special.  


The application was easy, it's suppose to be matte but I found it to be more satin. It wasn't drying which was nice. Overall I rate this a 8 out of 10 they are long lasting, smell nice, and the color choices are nice and trendy. This one is a reddish fuchsia color.
