Sephora Shiny Perfect Nude Lipgloss




I picked up this lipgloss after watching one of my favorite YouTubers, MsVaughn. I love her channel because she is super stylish and has the most gorgeous natural hair. Let me just say that I see why she loves this gloss! It is non sticky, non-stinky (has a pleasant vanilla scent) and is a gorgeous nude for brown girls BUT can definitely be used on a variety of skin tones. This gloss doesn’t make me look dead or ashy and is super glossy. LOVES IT! BONUS: It doesn’t give me that filmy white lip like that dreadful MAC lipglass does.





It lasts about 2hours before I need to reapply. Is that average for a lipgloss? How many of you ladies have this gloss?

It is available at Sephora for $14.

Review - Victoria Secret Lasting FX Eyeshadow Primer

Usually I do not like VS makeup, but a few months ago I picked up a VS concealer/corrector palette which I absolutely love. I decided that I would try some of the other products in their Pro makeup line.

Two weeks ago I spotted this eyeshadow primer, priced at $8, so I decided to try it.




PROS: I have been using this primer alot and it's great. The texture is light and silky and it disappears into the skin when applied. It is odorless and colorless. I experienced no creasing at all and the e/s colors appear more vibrant when applied over this primer. It definitely prolongs the life of my eyeshadow.

CONS: When this primer sits for a while, the product starts to separate a bit - When this happens you can get an oily film (for lack of a better word). To avoid this just shake well before before use or squeeze out all of the oil that has settled to the bottom. This is not a deal breaker for me, but some may find it annoying.

I would definitely recommend this primer as it is a great alternative to UDPP or TFSI. For me, this is a must have.

Have you guys tried any on the VS Pro products? I think they may be stepping up their makeup game.
