Mac Cremesheen Lipstick in Ravishing Review and Swatches



(0.10oz./2.8g - 15USD) Ravishing is a peachy coral. Creamy finished and somewhat glossy. It's a nice alternative to a nude lip for someone who doesn't like to blank out their lips.

Mac Lustre Lipstick in Lustering Review and Swatches



(0.10oz./2.8g - 15USD) Lustre is one of my least favorite finishes from Mac because they tend to be very sheer. Lustering looks reddish watermelon pink in the tube but it changes dramaticcaly on the lips depending on your actual lip color, because it's so sheer. You can not build the color up, the more you pile it on the glossier it looks.

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Lipstick in 46 Liberté Review and Swatches



(3g/0,1oz. - 32,50USD) Liberte is just basically a sheer orange, it has tiny silver specks of shimmers. This is good if you are looking for something that gives a tint of color and high glossy effect.

Urban Decay Naked 2 Eyeshadow Palette Review and Swatches








Overall I enjoy Naked2, it's convenient to have all these different shades in one palette. I would have liked to see less metallic finished shades and also more deeper colors. Those are not necessarily good for a smoky eye effect but more like a natural eye because most of them are medium toned, just a few deep or light shades.
In my country it's very difficult to find Urban Decay products so I'm glad that I did, I purchased it from Sephora Türkiye if anyone is interested.

Foxy: Matte yellow ivory, equal to Mac NC20,
Half Baked: Highly shimmery golden honey shade, very buttery glides on perfectly.
Booty Call: Very pale champagne pink with a lightly pearly finish.
Chopper: Pink tinged copper with little tiny copper shimmers on a metallic base.
Tease: A matte mushroom color.
Snakebite: A rich bronze that has lots of metallic sheen.
Suspect: Light brown almost beige, again with high metallic sheen.
Pistol: Soft gunmetal, medium cooler toned grey, also a metallic color.
Verve: Highly shimmery silver, has the tiniest amount of purple hue.
YDK: Soft taupe has a more glittery finish than the other sparkly, metallic shades.
Busted: Dirty greyish purple with a metallic sheen.
Blackout: An intense matte black.

Mac Matte Lipstick in Kinda Sexy Review and Swatches



(0.10oz./2.8g - 14,50USD) Kinda sexy is a caramel color, it's a nice nude lipstick for medium skin tones. It's utterly pigmented and very matte. If you want it to be more matte you can just blot it with a tissue paper.

Mac Lustre Lipstick in Freckletone Review and Swatches



(0.10oz./2.8g - 15USD) This isn't a flattering shade for in my opinion because it has too much brown in it, I feel like browns on lips can make you look older and old fashioned. It doesn't have much pigmentation, goes on sheer, that's the other downside to me.

Mac Cremesheen Lipstick in Shy Girl Review and Swatches



(0.10oz./2.8g - 15USD) Shy Girl is one of my favorite nude lipsticks, I love the lovely peachy nude shade of it and I love the sublte pearls in it. This is the kind of nude if you are going for alive, not dead look.

Mac Cremesheen Lipstick in Créme Cup Review and Swatches



(0.10oz./2.8g - 15USD) Creme cup is a semi-opaque milky pink with a soft sheen. It doesn't give you opacity like many other cremesheens.

Mac Satin Lipstick in Myth Review and Swatches



(0.10oz./2.8g - 15USD) Omg! This shade is SO pale, I don't know what was I thinking when purchasing it. It's like a peachy concealer color that I would use on my under eye circles, it's that light! You need to be very very pale to pull off myth unless you want a white mouth. But layering a darker lipgloss over makes it wearable or I sometimes use it to lighten lipsticks.

Mac Cremesheen Lipstick in Speed Dial Review and Swatches



(0.10oz./2.8g - 15USD) Speed Dial is a cute bubble gum pink and has a soft golden sheen. Rich in pigmentation but not opaque. I love wearing it with a soft brown smoky eye.

Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate Moss 2012 2013 Matte Velvet Lipstick Collection Review and Swatches




I just got 4 lipsticks from Rimmel London Kate Moss Winter 2012 2013 lipstick collection, there a lot of different shades this time, around 10. All have velvet finish not entirely matte, it's the exact same formula and finish of Rimmel London's Color Show Off Lipsticks, which I love. If you 'd like to check my review about 8 of them click here.
102: Soft pink/ bubble gum pink.
106: Deep reddish pink, looks almost red under yellow light.
107: My favorite out of the entire collection, a maroon that looks berry under day light.
113: A very pale nude, this just cancelles out my lips far too much.

Dolce & Gabbana Shine Lipstick in 145 Baby Darling Review and Swatches



I love D&G make up range, so sleek and elegant with the gold packaging and the product quality. I have this shine lipstick, goes on quite sheer yet buildable. It's not one those YSL buttery lipsticks, a lot harder in consistency but not heavy. Baby darling is a pearly and shimmery pink nude.

Make Up Forever Rouge Artist Intense Lipstick in 24 Review and Swatches

Revlon Beyond Natural Cream to Powder Eyeshadow in 520 Spice Review and Swatches



Clever me didn't swatch it before buying, didn't know this was a cream shadow. It doesn't turn in to a powder as it claims, creases the moment I put it on my lid, FYI I have oily eyelids. It's never long lasting as a powder eyeshadow even when used over a primer, so I don't see the point of using it at all. The texture is like a creamier version of MAC Cream Color Base's, it's like peanut butter. I tried using the lightest shade as a cheek highlighter and it works, that's the only reason I'm not giving it to someone else.

Guerlain Rouge Automatique in 167 Guet Apens Review and Swatches





(0.12oz/3.4g - 35USD) Guet Apens is a ruby red lip color, it's very sheer and not buildable. It has tiny little pearls in the bullet but not noticable when swatched. As all other Guerlain ones this lipstick also has a lovely scent to it.
