NYX Sets from Hautelook~

Hi once again!!! I feel bad this post is so overdue!

I had some trouble these past few months and I moved but now I'm finally settled in and I have some free time! So yay! Onto the review~ This is a NYX haul from hautelook I order a few months back, it's also my first time ever purchasing NYX products and I can say I'm very happy with what I got! Hautelook was wonderful as usual of course~

I decided on the Pretty Natural Blush Set, the Rosey Posey Lip Set, and the Snow Bunny Pout Brush on Gloss Set~ This all costed me around $35 w/shipping~

All cute and wrapped up~

All cute and unwrapped~ hehe~

The Pretty Natural Blush Set! And like the name, all these colors are pretty and natural, even Mocha, and they're pretty pigmented but build-able so you can control your color and not look like a clown~ =^ ^=

Far left is Angel, Middle is Mocha, far right is Mauve~ I love these blushes and Angel is my fav out of the three and honestly my all time fav blush~ It looks very brown in the pic but it's deceiving, when you put it on it looks more like how Mauve looks in the compact, like a peachy shimmery champagne~ love it! Mauve is much more berry colored, so is Mocha.

Far left is Angel, middle is Mocha, far right is Mauve~ You can see Mocha and Mauve look more berry colored than in the compacts~ I love these and they last for a few hours at the most in a day, only needs a couple of re-applications~ I'm gonna defiantly buy more! =D

Next is the Rosey Posey Lip Set! I was afraid the colors would be too vibrant or red but they're actually somewhat sheer and more berry colored. They're pigmented but can be pretty intense if you build the color up~!

The Matte lipstick in MLS 11 is very matte. Which I like, it's not drying like a lip stain but will last a little longer than a wet glossy lipstick. With a little lip gloss and this I'm good to go for at the most about two-three hours.

Then the Mega Shine Gloss in LG160 Tea Rose is really pretty. It's more sheer than it looks but after a few apps of it it'll become really vibrant. It's really moisturizing and honestly looks great by itself.

I love the cute little bow on top! =^o^=

Then the Lip Liner MPL 06 Nude Pink~ I don't really use lip liners.... I like my lips to look soft not like some Bratz Dolls defined lips~ LOL but I find this useful when I wear a vibrant pink lipstick it'll actually soften the edges and make my lips look more neat, formal, and natural. The color is pretty and matches well with a lot of my stuff~ so I like it! ^ ^

Far left is the Matte Lipstick, middle is Lip Gloss, and far right is Lip Liner. As you can see all the colors compliment each other. I don't like to wear the lipstick and lipgloss together as they make a really pretty, but vibrant, berry pink color. I like sheer pinks but if you like vibrant and pigmented colors then the combo is great!! Just not my forte~ lol

There's the Mega Shine Lip Gloss on my lips, it's a little more dark to me than the picture portrays~ overall I like it!

Here's the Matte Lipstick on my lips~ Very matte and long lasting~

Here's the Snow Bunny Pout Brush on Gloss Set~ very cute colors~! They're very slick so I kinda re-apply a lot since I tend to drink a lot and loose color, but I feel that's more my fault than the gloss~ XD

Far left is Day dream, second left is Golden Mauve, middle is B52 On The Rocks, second right is Whip Cream, and far right is Clear. Day dream is the most natural and flattering color pink I've ever owned in a gloss. It has no shimmer unlike the rest and I feel it's a universal color, I've had 4 other people use it and love it! It's flattering for a lot of people. They're all really pigmented so I'm careful I don't apply too much and the other colors are very frosty and shimmery. No gritty sparkle~ hehe =^ ^=

I like the brush applicator more than a typical doe or spatula one. I think it's easier to get an even coverage.

Not my most favorite color.... if I'm light handed with it I can make it work with a lipstick or two but still I have a feeling B52 On The Rocks will last me a while. lol

Purple!!! Yay! I love purple lips! =D I have a clinique lipstick in Silvery Moon that goes great with this! This is a very cool purple, I don't think Golden Mauve was a good name for it at all~ You can see some gold but not much.

Then the all natural pink Day Dream. Looks a little darker than my pic portrays if you ask me. I love this lip gloss very much... kind of reminds me of a liquid lipstick, it has the texture to be considered one if you ask me. I use this pretty often~ lol

Sorry no lip pics of Whip Cream... my camera just for some odd reason couldn't do that lip gloss justice, but I absolutely love it. It adds a pretty beige shine to my pink lipsticks so I use it often also.

Overall I'm happy with what I got and now I want more~ hehe~ I just ordered an Eye Liner from NYX, sadly it broke when shipped~ =( but I'll make a tiny review of it soon~ Hope this was helpful~ =^ ^=!!!!

Skin by Alison Raffaele Cosmetic Tiny Mini Haul!

                                  

Hi again everyone! I'm so sorry for the delay for this blog post, I went on vacation and had a lot of work to do to get caught up. So I'm back and in action now!

I'm gonna do a review on 3 items I bought from www.hautelook.com by a brand of cosmetics called Skin by Alison Raffaele~ =^ ^=
Now, lemme' go over something here. Hautelook is a online shop that sells all kinds of designer items for discounted prices. They don't sell anything consistently though, things go on sale for certain periods of time and when they're gone who knows when you'll see them again. So it's important you get to the sale and get the stuff before it's gone!

So quite a while back I bought 2 lip glosses and a water based gel blush from Hautelook. I loved all the products and will purchase again from Hautelook. Especially the glosses!!! They had free shipping that weekend, it's usually only $ 5 . 95, so it only cost me $ 16 . 58! I saved a total of $ 50 . 42. Pretty impressive huh? hehe~
Shipping only took about a week too! =^ ^=

I got a Soft Gloss in Lovely and a Volumizing Soft Gloss in Sweet. The top peach colored one is Lovely and the bottom purple one is Sweet. Lovely normally retails for $ 19 . 50, I bought mine for $ 4 . 68! Sweet normally retails for $ 22 . 50, I bought mine for $ 5 . 40! 

They both have fuzzy tip applicators.

I like these applicators as they apply well, they have to be my fav applicator when it comes to lip gloss.

Pretty flower looking thingy engraved on the top of the glosses caps. The caps are a very pretty violet color, very simple but pretty and elegant.

Here is Lovely on my lips! Lovely color isn't it? lol I love these glosses because they're not too sheer, you get a lot of color payoff from what you see in the bottle. They're VERY watery feeling. So they're not long lasting, you'll need to reapply these consistently every hour and a half to maybe two hours, especially if you eat and drink a lot. Though I'm okay with re-application so that's no con for me. I have to say I LOVE the way these feel, very moisturizing!

Here is Sweet on my lips! Now I love purple lipsticks and lip glosses so I was really happy when I got this, it's the perfect purple! I have a MAX Factor lipstick that I swear was made for this gloss! lol Now, as for volumizing, it does tingle a teeny tiny bit. Honestly the tingle is nothing, it's like putting on menthol chapstick, so no bad burning here. I don't think it has much of a plumping effect, if I look closely I kind of see a slight difference and my lips look a little fuller, but nothing monumental. Still, it's very nice and I find I don't need the plump anyways~ ^ ^

Here they are swatched on my arm, Lovely on the left and Sweet on the right. They look a little more sheer on my lips than they do on my arm. Overall, I love these and they're my favorites currently! Even for full price they'd be worth every penny.

This is a Inner Glow Translucent Gel Blush. It's water based and feels like a hard gel stick. The color is called Glamorous. This normally retails for $ 25 . 00, I bought mine for $ 6 . 50! Woo hoo Hautelook! lol

Here's a top view of the Gel Blush. Now, the color is a mixture of light pink and a lavender/violet color with opal and gold sparkles. I'd say the gold sparkles are the most noticeable feature of this blush. It's very translucent so I prefer to use it as a sparkly highlighter rather than a blush.

In this picture from the side I pushed it out pretty far. You can really see how purple it can look in this pic. If you add tons you can see some violet color and not just the sparkle.

Here you can see it swatched on my arm. You can clearly see the gold sparkle. It's truly a pretty gel blush~! I like to swirl it on my fingers and dab my fingers on my cheeks, forehead, sides of nose, and a little on the chin as a sparkly highlight! Now, I have slightly sensitive, acne prone skin and I've had no allergic reaction and no acne breakouts from this. It's kind of sticky so it'll last well in hot weather, it's been tested here in Florida so it should hold up just fine else were! ;D

Also, because it's so sticky it can pull away base makeup so I suggest using your fingers and dabbing it on as application. You could also add some translucent powder over it to smooth it out a bit.

One down side is you have to push it out from the bottom you see here and to push it back you just push the stick back in. I would have preferred something a little more convenient like being able to it twist up or down or something.

Here's a view from the top. It's a pretty white bottle with a violet cap with that same flower lookin' thingy engraved on the cap as the lip glosses.

Here on the side of the box it goes over a little application for it.

Here are the ingredients for people who may be allergic to any.

So, I hope you guys enjoyed this post! Overall, I've been really happy with this purchase and these are all products I use frequently. If I see some more on Hautelook again, chances are I'll buy more if I have the
money! lol
