Ditch the Black, get some colour on your eye.

Hey guys,

How many of you have actually tried to ditch the black eye liner and go colorful for a day? If you have, way to go babe!!! Today's look is all about getting out of your comfort zone and adding some color to your eye make up. I know it is very intimidating to go out during the day with colorful eyeshadow on your eye, but you can start getting comfortable by going step by step. 

The products I used will be listed below the post. I would definitely rock this look to work. But if it is a lot for you, just be a little gentle on the flick. You can also line only your upper lash line for a less dramatic look. On medium skin tones and brown eyes, dark blue, green and purple eyeliners look beautiful. I am scared of color too but I am branching out and trying to incorporate color in my everyday looks. This is a simple way to add color without going overboard.

I have used Mac Flip eyeshadow all over my eyelid up to the brow bone. Then I added Mac Texture to the outer V and crease of my eye. These two eyeshadows are my go to eyeshadows everyday, it gives a soft natural look. Instead of using a black eyeliner, I used Inglot gel eye liner in 75 which is a dark indigo purple and topped it with Inglot pigment in 38 which is a translucent white with blue reflects. If you have a blue pencil or gel eyeliner you can use that. I didn't have any thus had to make my own. I also added that same pigment to the inner tear duct for some brightness to my eyes. Curled my lashes and applied one coat of Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara. 

Taddaaaa!! That's the finished look.

Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick in Vivid Rose 904

Hey guys,

Today I am going to review the lipstick from Maybelline Color Sensational Line in Vivid Rose 904. 

This is one of their new colors for the summer from the Vivid Line and it claims to be more pigmented and creamy than the regular line.

This particular shade caught my eye because it reminded me of the YSL rouge volupté in Rose Culte.

When applied on the lips it glides smoothly and with one coat you get a pretty good pigmentation of color. I would suggest using two to three coats to get the actual color that is in the tube.

I wouldn't call this super creamy like my YSL because it does tug on my lips when applying the first layer.

The staying power of this lipstick is like any regular lipstick, about 3-4 hours with eating and drinking going on. After that it stains the lips to a beautiful rosy pink which looks gorgeous.

I will have to agree with the pigmentation claim that it has more pigments than the regular line of lipstick thats why it stains the lips. Using a water based makeup remover will not take it off completely. You will have to use an oil based makeup remover. 

I compared it to my YSL lipstick and the pigmentation and color is almost exact. It is a very close dupe so if you are looking for a similar color to the YSL Rose Culte your search ends here because it is the same color but one fifth the price. 

Also maybelline is always on sale in Priceline and Chemist Warehouse because I picked mine for $8.84 from chemist warehouse and it was $10 in priceline. 

Below is a comparison picture of both the lipsticks

The Rose Culte looks a bit lighter because I used only one coat of the lipstick whereas the Maybelline one has three coats on. If you look at the shade you can see that they are very similar.

Hope you found this review useful. Do let me know in the comments below.

Love,
