Beauty Product Reviews

A Great Buy!

I picked this up in the color Ninja Dog at Sephora on sale for $5. Needless to say that was an amazing deal. Honestly, though, I would definitely pay full price for other shades of this gloss! Mine is the light blue one but it goes on clear. This gloss is not too sticky and makes my lips feel really moisturized. The applicator is a really unique plastic spoon type contraption that's very easy to use. It also has a delicious blueberry scent and taste and the packaging is some of the cutest I've ever seen. I'd definitely recommend trying these glosses. <a class='textlink' href='http://bathbeautybattlestargalactica.blogspot.com' rel='nofollow noopener' target='_blank'>http://bathbeautybattlestargalactic...</a>

Not long lasting

I wasn't a huge fan of this. The color was good, but it faded after only an hour or so, leaving a really unattractive darker ring around the edge of the lips where it hadn't faded. Being that the point of a stain is to be long wearing, I wouldn't recommend this. <a class='textlink' href='http://bathbeautybattlestargalactica.blogspot.com' rel='nofollow noopener' target='_blank'>http://bathbeautybattlestargalactic...</a>

Love Mermaid's Tears

I have the color "Mermaid's Tears" and it's an absolutely gorgeous color. It's extremely unique and goes on completely opaque after two coats. Like all OPI polishes, it also lasts at least a week before seriously chipping. Beautiful.

It doesn't feel necessary.

Maybe I just have fairly smooth nails to begin with, but I just don't feel like this does much for me. I don't feel like it smooths out my nails much more than an additional coat of polish would and I don't feel like it makes my polish last longer or stain my nails less. One thing I have found it's good for is making lighter polishes go on more opaque since it sort of makes the white ends of your nails stand out less under sheer polishes. <a class='textlink' href='http://bathbeautybattlestargalactica.blogspot.com' rel='nofollow noopener' target='_blank'>http://bathbeautybattlestargalactic...</a>

Eh.

I have this in "Pixel Pretty" and I was a bit disappointed. It goes on pretty sheer for me and requires 3 or more coats to achieve desired opacity. Once it's applied it does look beautiful, but it doesn't last very long without chipping. Maybe I need a better topcoat, but this polish doesn't last more than 3 or 4 days without chipping pretty badly.

Nice to throw on

This is a nice product to just throw on as you're heading out the door. I have the color "Sandstone" which is a pretty, natural pink with some sparkles in it. The texture isn't the most amazing, but the color is nice and it does feel a bit moisturizing. I don't love it but I don't hate it. I probably wouldn't repurchase, but I'd say they're worth trying. <a class='textlink' href='http://bathbeautybattlestargalactica.blogspot.com' rel='nofollow noopener' target='_blank'>http://bathbeautybattlestargalactic...</a>

AMAZING for inner corner and brow bone

I use this shadow every day on my inner corner and brow bone. It gives a really subtle "lit from within" look to the eyes and really makes me look more awake. It lasts all day and goes on extremely smooth and pigmented!

Beautiful highlight for fair skin

This review is for Albatross, which is a highlight not a blush. It's a beautiful golden color and on my skin it really is like candlelight in a powder. It gives the most beautiful glow to your skin and it's extremely subtle. You do have to be careful, however, because a little goes a LONG way. If you use to much it ends up looking like a yellow-gold streak on your cheek. When applied correctly, however, it's gorgeous!

Great blush for fair skin

I love this blush. It's just pigmented enough without being overpowering and the most flattering satin finish dusty pink. My only complaint is that I usually find myself having to retouch once or twice throughout the day, but it's really not that big of a deal. It's a beautiful color and the packaging is adorable!

Love these shadows!

I set the swatch to Sin because that is my everyday eyeshadow, but I've been impressed with every eyeshadow I've ever had from Urban Decay. They're soft and long lasting and very, very pigmented. They crease a tiny bit on me, even with primer, but they're definitely some of the best I've used. Some of the most pigmented shadows I've used. Some of the more glittery shadows have lots of fallout, but that's hard to avoid with glitter. I have swatches of every shadow I own from them on my blog <a class='textlink' href='http://bathbeautybattlestargalactica.blogspot.com' rel='nofollow noopener' target='_blank'>http://bathbeautybattlestargalactic...</a>
