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. 

7 Deadly Sins // Lust & Envy Makeup Looks

I recently entered a makeup contest on Reddit (Specifically on this subreddit! They're so many amazing people in this subreddit) and the theme was the Seven Deadly Sins.

My makeup looks weren't that creative, but I am proud of them. From the title, you probably know that I did Envy and Lust. 

I just wanted to share them on my blog (:

I didn't win the contest, but I did win one of the smaller prizes in a raffle. The winning look was amazing and way more creative than my look though.

Comment if you want to know the products!

The purples! Don't know what the Color Spectrum Series is? Click here!

I've slowly been building up my plums and purples. They're really nice for fall and winter, but I also like wearing brighter ones during spring (like the Rimmel lipstick).

Review & Swatches: Tarte's Amazonian Clay Bronzer in Park Ave Princess (from the Golden Opportunity Tarte-To-Go Kit)

This review is on Tarte's Amazonian Clay Bronzer in Park Ave Princess, but I bought the mini size from the Golden Opportunity Tarte-To-Go Kit, which cost $10. (My friend and I split the kit because I only wanted the bronzer.) This product contains 0.11 oz of product. The full sized product is called a Mineral Powder Bronzer and contains 0.32 oz of product for $29. Sephora/Tarte described the color as a "highly pearled light yellow gold." I would describe it as a medium brown/bronze base with a light gold sheen.
