Mac Ever Hip Lipstick with Swatches

Today I went by the mall near me and of COURSE i had to walk by the makeup counters...I was pleasantly surprised that one of the Mac makeup artists told me they had one Mac Ever Hip lipstick left in stock (from the recent "Fashion Flower" collection, see temptalia for more info!). Online it seems like makeup lovers have been freaking out over the repromotion of this lipstick, so I would have been crazy to pass up something so wonderful, right? Nothing else had really caught my eye but this lipstick so I went ahead and got it. This is my second mac lipstick ever and after trying it on I am SO glad i purchased this! It's the perfect color for spring and summer!
On to the pics...
Ever hip is an extremely gorgeous creamy pinky-coral. I think it pulls a little bit more pink on me, which makes it more wearable on my skin tone. It's also a Cremesheen formula. To be perfectly honest, the only other lipstick from Mac I have is "Fanfare" which is also a Cremesheen formula. I can't compare it to the other various Mac formulas, but I really love the texture. It's creamy, glossy, and not completely opaque (though you can build the color up to be!). It's extremely moisturizing on my lips, I just love this lipstick formula!

I attempted to find a dupe within my revlon lipsticks (my favorite drugstore brand for lip products!). Overall, I didn't find anything identical in my collection...

-Mac Fanfare and Revlon Pink in the Afternoon are much more pink. Fanfare is also a bit darker.
-Revlon Smoked Peach, is a matte, and is more orange
-Revlon Rosedew looked the most similar out of all of them when swatched lightly, but it was still much too rosy in comparison.
-Revlon Peach & Revlon Demure are both too orange as well.

No complaints from me for not finding a dupe, I love not having two of the same thing in my makeup collection! ;)

Hope the swatches were helpful! If you are a pinky-coral lipstick lover, then this is definitely one to get your hands on. It would also be a great lipstick to try if you're a girl that doesn't do really bright lipsticks (especially those bright oranges and corals that are very popular this season) but still wants to wear some color. I think it would be beautiful on all types of skin tones!

    I just came across your blog the other day. I love it! I like read through most of it! Your looks are amazing. I ordered Ever Hip online and I'm like dying for it to get to me, such a gorgeous coral. I have also decided that I now need that revlon smoked peach. :)

    @Janalyn, I hope you can still get your hands on it. The collection came out a few days ago but I was still able to get one at the mac counter near me!

    @Michelle Anne, thank you so much! You're going to love Ever Hip. Smoked peach is sooo pretty, i've been loving that one as well!

    I bought the Ever Hip lipstick when it was part of the Liberty of London collection and I LOVE IT!! I didn't buy it again because its very rare that I get to the bottom of a lip stick! I love your website and I've been visiting for a little while - Keep up the great work! P.S. I loved that you named two of my favourite lipsticks, Fanfare has been a favourite of mine for a long time too.

    Ever Hip is such a perfect pretty pink-coral shade! I love pinks and corals and I think Ever Hip is the perfect shade for me. Thanks for sharing!

Bronze Eyeshadow Swatches: Mac Tempting, Urban Decay Smog, Nars Kalahari, & Inglot

Image
If I had to choose a favorite eyeshadow color to use, my favorite would most definitely be a shimmery bronzey brown. Call me boring when there are so many vibrant colors to choose from, but I can't help it! I absolutely love a shimmery chocolate smokey eye more than anything else. I think brown is flattering on all eye colors and it can be made subtle enough for daytime or dramatic for evening. I just hit pan on two bronze colors in my eyeshadow collection so I thought I'd do some comparison swatches for you before I finish them up! Inglot 409 on the left, Nars Kalahari on the top, Urban Decay Smog in the middle and Mac Tempting (with the huge bit of pan showing!) on the right! Comparison swatches! L-R Inglot 409, Urban Decay Smog, Mac Tempting, Nars Kalahari From Left to right: Inglot 409 pearl: This bronze has a bit more red warmth to it, especially compared to Urban Decay Smog and is a bit darker--though I do think it's similar on the lid. Both 409 and

Reviva Labs Makeup Primer Review and giveaway (CLOSED)!!!!

Image
A while ago I was contacted by Anna from Reviva Labs to review one of their most popular products, the Reviva Labs Makeup Primer. I was very excited because I've always been curious about Reviva Labs--I've seen their products at my nearby Ulta and Whole Foods Market. Some quick information on Reviva Labs that I gathered from their site that I found interesting: -" For over 38 Years Reviva Labs has been producing all natural skin-care products that help leave your skin healthier and more youthful-looking." -" No animal testing! Before it was even an issue   (way back in 1973), we announced the testing of our products in skin-care salons rather than on animals" - The first to introduce exfoliation to america... with our European LIGHT SKIN PEEL (We were explaining the importance of exfoliation years before the cosmetics giants introduced their versions) Now onto the Makeup Primer. It  is a silicone based primer that is not only fragrance free but also packe

Inglot Eyeshadow Swatches!

Image
*Please also see updated January 2013 swatches posted   here Inglot is a fantastic makeup company that I discovered last year. They originated in Poland and have become more and more popular in the United States despite the small number of stores available. Inglot has all types of makeup products, but so far I've only tried the eyeshadows--but I am completely infatuated with them. I've had them for a long time but am finally getting around to posting about them now! Inglot has an absurd number of different colors to choose from subtle neutrals to vivid brights. The quality is absolutely amazing--every single eyeshadow I've bought from Inglot is buttery smooth with insane pigmentation! Even more amazing is the price tag--$5 a shadow! They are particularly famous for their mattes--they aren't chalky or dry at all and like the other finishes, blend effortlessly. All the finishes last all day over a primer. Honestly, i think they are more pigmented and smoother tha
