Beauty Product Reviews

THANK YOU MAY LINDSTROM!!!!

Allow yourself to splurge on this 1 product, you will not regret it. I can't even begin to say what a miracle this has been for my skin. Since it's summer I haven't been using a nighttime moisturizer after I apply the Blue Cocoon, just my Charlotte Tilbury eye cream. Let me tell you, I have found the perfect combination of skin care for my needs & I cannot describe how perfect my skin looks and feels when I wake up in the morning. I never realized how inflammation was affecting my skin until I used the BC! Not to mention the plumping & smoothing effects, I'm 37 so there are fine lines that the BC completely erases! Between the BC & the eye cream I wake up looking YEARS younger, this is the best skin of my life. I've read reviews in which people are using this in the morning as well and maybe I'll try that in the winter as I do get a chapped winter red-face from the cold wind & salty air. Since I am just using this at night for now I do notice that by the following evening my skin is asking for more Blue Cocoon lol. I can tell because if I have a little acne from my monthly or rough patches, it starts to show again. I've been using this for a bit more than a month now & I can say it will absolutely not make your skin break out. Maybe that's the result of it being 100% organic. Another bonus is the strength of the Blue Cocoon. Just a teensy amount- a little less than half the size of a pea- is all you need. This jar is definitely going to last me a year with just using it at night. I mean, would you spend $160 to have flawless skin for a year? I'm betting you would. At less than $14 a month? For sure. I'm using a tiny cosmetic spatula to scoop out the BC because I want to keep this product as pure as possible, I don't want any finger germs or water from washing my face in there. I treat the BC like its gold. This product needs to be applied to soaking wet skin to transform it to the oil so it absorbs into your skin. Before I wash my face I scoop out a little BC & set it aside so that as soon as I rinse my facewash off the Blue Cocoon can immediately be applied to my dripping wet face to get its' maximum benefits. It does have a slight eucalyptus-y/medicinal fragrance to it, but that's just fine with me. It smells like the nature its derived from. I'm so happy about the condition of my skin since I've started using this! I don't need to use foundation or concealer to cover imperfections when doing my makeup because the Blue Cocoon repairs all of my skins woes! I look so much younger because I feel having a face full of makeup does nothing but age you. You'll see beautiful results from this product almost immediately if you use it correctly. Now I just need a backup for my vault.

Surprisingly pretty

It's no surprise that a CT lipstick is gorg, it is surprising however that this shade looks great on my skin tone. I have this odd light olivey medium skin that makes it hard to find a fun bright pink that looks good, so naturally, that's the 1 thing I want - need - must have. I super-heart her Matte Revolution line so this was really a fantastic find for me. As always, great wear & stain as time goes on. I saw another reviewer posted a pic of the Miranda May shade who has about the same skin tone as me & I flippin love how that looks, so again, another must-have hue! I have a feeling I will slowly build a collection of Hot Lips because I have zero self control when it comes to Charlotte Tilbury. I feel it's justified, I've never really regretted a purchase & even if I did Beautylish has the best customer service so I know if I don't like it I can return it hassle free. Also, ty for the reviewer who realized the packaging looks extremely similar to the old EL lipsticks. I got the sweetest feeling of nostalgia as I remembered my grandmother applying her signature EL red lip. I knew I had seen it before but just couldn't place it.

Easy beauty

On my skin tone this shade is exactly as described; a pinky nude. I feel I'll use this quite often because it's very laid back & chill. This color lets your eyes be the focal point of your look. Lets focus on the face as a whole instead of a glaring in-your-face lip color! Beautiful. Even though it's a lighter hue it somehow manages to leave a nice stain as time goes on. My face is sunburnt passed the point of ridiculousness right now but I can't wait to pair it with a nice blush & a light smokey eye. One thing though... I noticed at the bottom of the description it says the formula is Matte Revolution- which got my attention because it has a subtle shimmery finish & I hadn't seen her MR line of lipsticks with any shimmer before - but as I'm wearing it I definitely feel it's the K.I.S.S.I.N.G formula, but I could be wrong. While I am head over heels for her MR lipsticks I feel the lasting stain of Kim K.W. makes up for the creamier wear. I love this shade, it's very unfussy. This is what I'll reach for when I dont want to commit to a higher maintenance color. Swipe and enjoy! Can't wait to get more of the new Hot Lips!

Obsessed

1st of all the price--- so great, thank you Wayne for that. The quality is amazing. This was the brush I didn't know I needed, which I've said before and holds true for all WG brushes, trust me you need every single one. His products just seem to keep getting better and better as time goes on. I have a pretty good selection of his brushes but somehow this really managed to impress me. You might see it and think, "Oh just a random powder brush I have tons like it." No, I guarantee that you don't- this brush is a makeup hack all on its' own- So versatile and perfectly shaped it easily does the job of 3 brushes- ok secret.. on light makeup days I also use this to sweep bronzer on my eyelids, so 4 brushes really... The Air Brush really targets the cheekbone area, safeguarding against over-applying bronzer, it keeps things nice and clean and sleek. Bronzer, blush and highlighter go on like a subtle dream without disturbing foundation. The blending ability of this brush is on another level. From the 1st time I used it I noticed how clean and light my makeup looked, I was extremely pleased. This brush is actually fun to use -it feels so good!- and it really has inspired me to do my makeup on those hot, sticky summer days when I'd normally just succumb to the high temps & go bare-faced. Another big bonus is that its so soft it won't kick up product in its container, so it protects against waste. It's like a no-fail tool for contouring & highlighting. I still manage to slip in the use of my WG fan brush only because I have a special kind of love for the #15. Absolutely wonderful, you can tell Wayne put a lot of hard work into the Air Brush. I cannot wait to see what WG has in store for us next!

Holy wow

Very pleasantly surprised!!!! I put this on & had done a ton of yard work then eaten lunch and drank a ton. Probably hit my e-cig about 50 times during time, I basically forgot I had put it on. I looked in the mirror hours later and this lipstick was still just as perfect as when I had put it on! Thats crazy! I have to be honest, I tried the Inglot Freedom System purely on trusting Beautylish & the fact that they only seek out quality products for the site. Unbelievable. Now I'll be getting a bigger compact than the 4 square I started with. I have another shade I cannot wait to try, it's this great purple. Very great price for a product that rivals my high end lipsticks.

For all skin tones IMO

Apparently I cannot control myself when prompted by Beautylish to give a review, so here's my 3rd for this product. I have managed to procure all 5 shades, frankly I'm astounded that these arent sold out or at least have more reviews. The reason I'm doing another is because now that I have all the shades I can attest to the fact that every single one looks outstanding on my weird medium with red and yellow undertones skin. From this I conclude that every shade will look great on everybody. Nudestix has really figured out how to produce shades for all, it's truly universal. I am in the harsh beach sun all summer long & I'm breaking up with regular lipstick for the season. I'd rather nourish my lips than dry them out. I'm really glad I picked the right product to go shopaholic on. Every single color gives you the "your lips but better look". Each shade is a grand slam for me. Come on people, don't be out of the loop- this is the hottest summer lip gel- at least try one shade, I guarantee that won't be the only one you need to have. I seriously hope this product is permanent.

Hard to find!

This is a great liner! I love a funky purple lip but its more of a challenge to find a good liner to go with it. Very smooth application, no dragging and the packaging is well made and retractable. Not to mention the really great price, I definitely need backups of this. I love the shade so much I line then fill my entire lip and just wear it alone, it's very pretty. This was a win.

Great summer shade

I own quite a few of CT's blushes, I bought this one mostly for the purpose of seeing if I could get away contouring with it. Even if I wouldn't be able to I knew that the brown shade of The Climax is very multifunctional. I have been looking at the Beach Stick in Ibiza but some reviews said it was quite glittery & because of my pores I thought this blush would be a better choice. Turns out I can contour with it with the lightest hand. I, of course, end up with a more sculpted look because of that darker shade so I'm patting myself on the back for this purchase. The product does have a few hints of sparkle but summer is all about the smoky bronzed reflected sunlight look. The center color is an extraordinary shade of peach with some pink, kind of like Nars Orgasm without the shimmer & CT's shade is prettier. I'd recommend a light hand with this as well. This product also didn't oxidize on my skin which I was concerned about happening. I was pleasantly surprised by this blush. I've used it quite a bit since I've gotten it, I reach for it far more than I thought I would when I bought it.

Cheek color

Just applied my Wicked Nudestix to my lips & accidentally got some on the lid. I didn't really intend to use this as a blush, I particularly like a powder, but I wiped it off the lid and dotted some on my cheeks and blended it out. What a pleasant surprise! It blended really easily and gave a nice flush of color without being sticky or shiny. Impressive.

This is what I've been looking for..

YYAASSS! This is my new favorite non-lipstick lip color! Opaque and highly hydrating and when they say it's not sticky, it's really true! It has great wear & even manages to turn into a stain on your lips. At least that holds true for my shade, wicked, which is the darkest. What a great great find. I love the ability to line & fill in my lips, it has a great texture and feels so good and light to wear. I just put 2 more shades in my cart I LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE! Also I recently discovered it's true EOS has changed their formula somehow, I found out the hard way with swollen lips and split skin all the way around my mouth. Would you believe the Nudestix has actually healed the damage from the EOS in just 2 short days of using it? I couldn't even get my agave lip mask to heal my lips & here comes Nudestix- a cure posing as a perfect gel lip color, anyway, this stuff is all kinds of good. Get it before it sells out but leave some for me!
