Liquid Lipstick Love Series ft. The Balm Cosmetics Meet Matte Hughes Devoted


The Balm's Meet Matte Hughes Devoted is a slightly orangey bright red lipstick. It is also noticeably lighter and thinner than Loyal. This is the most problematic of this line due to that thin consistency as the coverage also tends to be thin and it becomes a bit tricky to apply it evenly on the lips. I can definitely see some areas where my natural lip color was peeking through and that's just not what you want with red or dark lipsticks. On the other hand, this lipstick still photographs rather well which is true of all the Meet Matte Hughes. All in all, Devoted is not my favorite red liquid lipstick. I'd say if you want a red from this line, go for Loyal or Adoring instead.

Brush Review. The MAC 221 Mini Tapered Blending Brush. It's described in the MAC website as a shadow-blending brush used for application and blending of powders. I've vacillated between getting this brush and a flat shader brush because I thought it might be redundant with my 224. It isn't. It applies shadows in a more precise and targeted manner than my 224. Simply, the track of color it leaves behind is thinner and smaller so if you want to do more detailed work, this is a must-have. This is also velvety soft. No scratchiness at all, unlike the 224. The way I use this brush, I apply my crease color, which is usually dark or medium brown, blend it out a little using a window wiping motion. After, I use my 224 to apply my transition color, usually a light brown or tan, at the top part of my crease and blend that out a little as well using the same side to side motion. I gotta say, this is one of my best brush purchases due to the uniqueness of its utility and how gosh-darn soft it is. Good news, this was a limited edition brush but is now permanent. Bad news, during my vacillating period, I've noticed that MAC stores only have 1 or 2 of this brush in stock so if this becomes more popular it might be difficult to find.

On National Lipstick Day

Image
via Instagram http://ift.tt/2aYoSDp This is me being bummed because i totally missed out on #nationallipstickday even though i have a shameful number of new lipsticks to review. Sorry. I have been exhausted and uninspired lately. I hope to do better in the following days. In the meantime, here's an #motd . Primer #niveapostshavebalm sensitive. This was discovered and populararized by the fabulous and hilarious @nikkietutorials . It's supposed to help keep your makeup stay longer and better throughout the day. Now, I'm not sure it does that. I think I'll have to do one of those half face tests to be certain. This, however, did not break me out and, considering it's one of the more affordable primers out there, it's worth checking it out.
