Review & Swatches: Shiseido Lacquer Rouge in RD607 Nocturne

Shiseido's Lacquer Rouge in RD607 (Nocturne) is described as an "intense dark red" on the Sephora website. It is a dark red, but it's not intense. There are some berry undertones in this color. There are also very very fine purple-y shimmers, but it's not overpowering. This product is a liquid lipstick and it is extremely opaque. 

Makeup Look: Snow White

I recently entered another contest on Reddit and it was Disney themed. I was going to do Mulan, but there were already a few other Mulan looks. I chose to do Snow White instead! I do not have fair skin or luscious black locks, and so I decided to fake it! 

It was quite fun doing this look. I even a bit of freckles. Snow White is quite young and so I thought it added a nice touch. Blush on the apples of my cheeks looks odd and so I used it to contour my cheek bones instead. 

I mostly used theBalm's Nude 'Tude palette for this look.

Review & Swatches: Butter London's Nail Polish in Knackered

*My friend left her nail polishes with me for the summer and she let me use/test them out for my blog. She loves and collects nail polishes and so I was very grateful when she told me that I could use them.

Butter London's Knackered Nail Polish is described as a "sheer, twinkling oyster shade flecked with micro glitter particles" by the Butter London website. I think it's more of a trichrome, but the description is pretty accurate! I believe that this color is pretty unique and I can't think of any possible dupes.

Makeup Look: Hye Tran's PhuNuCali Cover Look

My parents gets a bunch of Vietnamese magazines and this one recently caught my eye. It's very summery and fun to wear. The pop of teal on the eyes and the fuchsia lips looked so pretty to me. This look is simple to do too.

Review & Swatches: Rimmel London Show off / Apocalips Lip Laquer in Aurora and Stellar

Rimmel London Show Off Lip Lacquers (or Apocalips in the UK) have finally landed in the States! I have Aurora and Stellar. Both contain 0.18 fl oz of product. The Show Off Lip Lacquers are liquid lipsticks with some shine to it. It's shinier than a normal lipstick but not as shiny or remotely sticky as a gloss. 

Both products have a fruity smell. It smells weird to me and I've read that some people hate the smell and others love it. I can deal with it and the smell goes away, but if you're sensitive to scents, I would try to see it in stores first. 

The colors are mostly opaque. I can see some slight transparency, but my lips are kind of dark. One layer is all I need for my lips though. 

Review & Swatches: Maybelline Lash Stiletto Voluptuous Waterproof Mascara in Very Black

Maybelline's Lash Stiletto Voluptuous Waterproof Mascara in Very Black contains 0.22 oz of product. It claims to add length and volume to your lashes. The wand has the classic bristles but it wavy with kind of a boxy base near the end. 

The curve of the wand helps coats my lashes easier, but the base is kind of hard to work with because it also hits my bottom lashes. The curve also helps but mascara on my bottom lashes in one swipe instead of working it around like straight wands.
