New Jessies Girl Liquid Eyeliner Pen

This new Jessie's Girl Liquid Eyeliner Pen was just put out at my local Rite Aid recently.  The packaging and display really caught my eye.  The pens look like classy high quality eyeliner at their typical truly affordable beauty product pricing at $6.99 each.

The display boasts that this eyeliner pen is all about "Combining the art of Japanese calligraphy brush-making and the technology of our "All-Day" waterproof formula". To me this sounds like this eyeliner pen must have a killer brush tip!  I bet this makes for an amazingly smooth application.  I know some times eyeliner pens with brushes don't always have the highest amount of precision or control, but the display seems to indicate otherwise.  As far as I can tell this only comes in the color black.

I would love to try this eyeliner pen, I am all about using felt tip eyeliners, and I love to apply my gel or cream eyeliner with a fine tiped pointed brush so maybe this is a combination of the two of those.  The best of both worlds :-)


What do you all think about Jessie's Girl Beauty Products?  What are your favorites?

XOXOXO,

Mac Sheen Supreme in Behave and Paint Pot in Soft Ochre

The newest two MAC Cosmetics items I have added to my collection are the Sheen Supreme Lipstick in Behave Yourself and the Paint Pot in Soft Ochre. I have recently fallen madly in love with the sheen supreme formulation so I am happily acquiring more of those formula lipsticks and I finally decided it was time to splurge and purchase a real deal paint pot and see how it held up to the color tattoos that I have been using as eye shadow bases. As always, enjoy the swatch photos below :-)

Most importantly I am a serious sucker for really sleek beautiful packaging.  The sheen supreme lipsticks come in this absolutely gorgeous black metal lipstick tube.  I am in LOVE with this packaging, and I think it is far more beautiful than the typical MAC lipstick bullet.  Okay, Okay, enough gushing over some lipstick packaging.

This shade was certainly more glittery than it appeared online, there are tons of tiny little magical glitter particles throughout this shade.  Behave Yourself is a blue based pink, which means your teeth are going to look more white than they are next to this color.  This shade isnt OVERLY blue based so you also wont look like your semi-dead and it isn't anywhere near as blue based/cartoonish as the Nikki Minaj MAC lipsticks. 

Here is the swatch on my lips.  It is a super creamy completely wearable pink with that natural healthy sheen that I adore about these lipsticks.  They do not come off glossy in any way, but I would say that sheen is quite comparable to say the appearance of your natural lips if you lick them.  Just a healthy natural, not too shiny perfect sheen. 

The MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre is a classic shade to use as an eye shadow base.  I chose this color because it is more yellow based than my skin and it should easily cancel out any underlying veins on my eyelids.  

You can see from the swatch on my  hand that this is a great shade for people of my skin tone to evening out eyelids while providing a solid base for more eye shadows.  I must say, I have tried this several times as an eye shadow base and I am really LOVING it.  I would say that this may edge out the color tattoos as a base for me.  I think the tipping point in that determination is that this is a Matte base and not shimmery like most of the color tattoos.  

I would love to read your Paint Pot suggestions below!  Do you love the Sheen Supreme Lipsticks? Do you have any color suggestions for a new sheen supreme?

I hope that you all have a Beautiful Day,

XOXOXO,

Melissa

Lime Crime Opaque Lipstick in Centrifuschia

I was so excited to place my first order with Lime Crime as a treat for my recent Birthday.  I had my eyes on two of the opaque lipsticks- one in Centrifuschia and the other in Geradium.  Much to my dismay, when I placed my order the website was sold out of Geradium, so I settled for Centrifuschia and a couple of nail polishes.

First up lets have a closer look at the opaque lipstick in Centrifuschia.  The Lime Crime packaging is probably the most striking, eye catching, just plain adorable presentation that I have ever seen of any lipstick on the market today.

Not only does the box have the holographic signature unicorn with stars, but the actual lipstick tube is the exact same lavender purple shade with the identical print.

Centrifuschia can be best described as a rich raspberry, with a really beautiful bright fuschia undertone.

I must admit that $15.99 seems a bit steep for a lipstick ( I am a bit more conservative when it comes to buying expensive beauty products :-)  HOWEVER (yes a giant HOWEVER)  this lipstick went on extremely smoothly, it left a nice sheen on the lips and was in no way drying.  I am officially in LOVE.  I really wish I was able to buy the Geradium lipstick, but I am sure that one day in the future our paths will cross again and I will pick up that shade to add to my makeup collection.  Here is a photo of it on my lippies.

Pros: Super smooth, moisturizing, vibrant truly opaque color, a beautiful sheen without being overly glossy, great staying power with a very slight staining effect, pleasant very slight scent.

Cons: Online orders can take a long time (mine almost took two weeks and I only live 50 miles from their offices), $15.99 plus tax and shipping is a bit steep, Lime Crime is not widely available, color selections are limited and stock is also very limited.

Overall thoughts:  I would buy another Lime Crime Opaque Lipstick again in an instant.  LOVE IT.
