8 Fall Lip Colors Under $8.

Hello Beauties! Today I have a quick post sharing some new lip products I picked up for the Fall and Winter months. Technically they are all under $7 but I thought 8 went better in the title LOL, enjoy!


I can appreciate that drug store lip products are now coming wrapped but it took a solid 10 minutes to take all that off.. 


NYX Simply Vamp Lip Cream - $6.49 ULTA
  Temptress, Bewitching

Swatches



NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams - $5.99 ULTA
  Praque, Copenhagen, Transylvania

Swatches




L.A. Girl Glaze Lip Paints - $2.99 Local BSS Store
Seduction, Daring, Tempt

Swatches



These are all really nice lip products but my favorite out of the bunch are the new NYX lip creams. The texture is really nice and they look even better on the lips. The have a semi-matte/satin finish and for me about a 5 hour wear without noticeable fading. A+ in my book. 

The L.A. Girl Glaze Lip Paints are very reminiscent of the OCC Liptars but the consistency is a tab bit more runny if that makes any sense. I had some difficulties swatching the deepest shade, Tempt. I definitely recommend using a liner first, maybe even one of those anti-feathering lip liners to prevent bleeding. 

Thanks so much for reading! Please leave any questions or comments down below!

Jordana Cosmetics Haul.

*taps MIC* Is this thing on?.. LOL Hello Beauties! I know it's been...a while...since I've posted but I'm here today to share some pictures and swatches of the Jordana items I picked up after seeing photos from the lovely Rai of glam-morena.com. I ordered all of the products online from their website, they have free shipping over $25. Enjoy!




Jordana Powder Blush - $2.49
Peach Blossom - Pink Beauty - Coral Radiance

Swatches



Jordana Matte Lipstick - $1.49

Matte Red - Matte Cafe - Matte Rouge - Matte Terra Cotta

Swatches



 Matte Tangerine Tango - Matte Sweet Sorbet (NOT matte at all) - Matte Fiery Coral - Matte Rose Lust

Swatches



Matte Plum Obsession - Matte Classic Nude - Matte Blazing Mango - Matte Poppy Pink

Swatches




So far I really like everything I picked up but the blushes are by far my favorites here. They have such an amazing quality especially for the price. The lipsticks are very matte and can be drying throughout wear but nothing unmanageable. They last on me around 5-6 hours on me and the brighter shades also leave behind a stain. Easily removed with a makeup wipe.  My favorite out the bunch is Poppy Pink. 

Please leave any thoughts or questions in the comment box! Thanks for reading!!
