Maybelline SuperStay Ink Crayon Lipstick (Make It Happen)

This is a twisty crayon lipstick in an intense flattering rich. I love the pencil concept as application and outlining are precise using minimum product. It has a matte velvety texture on the lips and dries very quickly so I don't have the feeling of having any lipstick on. It does not last as much as the long lasting lipstick by the same brand, which last me all day long even after eating. This one does not last after eating but it lasts more than other lipsticks I own.

Sugarpill Cosmetics Liquid Lip Colour (Heartstrings)

This is the first lipstick I bought from this American brand and, although very expensive for a lip gloss, it was totally worth it.
 
This must be one of my favourite pink colour lip gloss ever. It has the texture of a lip gloss but it's richly pigmented in a very bright flattering metallic pink; yet, it feels and looks matte. It smells very nice, too. This is a 100% vegan & cruelty-free product, something really important to me. Packaging is a killer, as well. 

It's out of stock almost everywhere I look for, so I regret not having bought a replacement before this was gone. I have another colour from the same range, but it's not as flattering as this one.

Black Moon Cosmetics Liquid Lipstick (Genie Metallic)

This is the second tube of metallic velvety liquid lipstick that I buy from Black Moon Cosmetics. The colour is a beautiful iridescent magenta, that turns into a velvety coat once it dries off. The lipstick smells divine as well and it really suits me. Not as flattering as the Devil metallic shade, but gorgeous the same.
 
This is not a permanent or semi-permanent lippy and will disappear as soon as you have a coffee or eat anything, which is a big letdown for such an expensive product. However, the lipstick is advertised as kiss-proof and "it won't budge for hours"; that is not true for me. 
 
Vegan and cruelty-free always does it for me.

Black Moon Cosmetics Liquid Lipstic (Deville Metallic)

This is the first lipstick I buy from this brand, and I'm a devotee already. The colour is just amazing, a semi-metallic red, but a shade of red that is not your usual red, so it's an unique shade. It ' a liquid creamy lipstick that needs just a bit to spread evenly. It becomes matte once it dries off, and it feels like velvet on my lips. It looks fab on me. The packaging is delightful, too. 
 
On the flip side, this is not a permanent or semi-permanent lippy and will disappear as soon as you have a coffee or eat anything, which is a big letdown for such a pricey product. However, the lipstick is advertised as kiss-proof and "it won't budge for hours"; that is not true for me. 

Vegan and cruelty-free.

Rude Cosmetics Eye-shadow Palette (United Shades of Glitter)

I'm a glitter critter and this palette has been in my wish list for months. It has a great combination of colours, some of them multi-chrome. 
 
The shadows have a creamy consistency and spread easily when used over a primer. I recommend using a primer or thick foundation base as, otherwise, the glitter crumbles and might enter your eyes or scratch your eyelids when rubbing it. The shadows can be applied with your fingers or using the complimentary wand.  Some of the shadows are true to the photo, but others (the multi-chrome) loose part of their charm when applied.
 
Due to the creamy consistency and not powder consistency the product it runs out quickly.

Stargazer Black Lipstick

This is a great affordable lipstick for Halloween or any disguise occasion.  Quality is decent for the price. The product feels balmy  and when I checked the list of ingredients on the label, it has aloe vera, wax and several other oils as part of the ingredients. The lippy covers my lips well. This is a matte lippy, so you'd need to apply lip gloss on top to get something like in the photos. It has some sort of blueish undertone at least on my lips, but it looks a very dark brown under artificial light. This is my first  black lipstick ever and I think it's quite cool.

Lethal Cosmetics Pressed Eye Shadow (Flutter)

This is advertised as "Sparkly duo-chrome that shifts in the light from gold to turquoise." but it looks like a sparkly lemon yellow, slightly greenish and I don't see the turquoise anywhere. Not as pretty as the photo, either. Yet, it is great to mix with other cool or warm colours as it is very subtle. It is not as hardly pressed as other shadows of the same brand I own, something that I dislike, as it crumbles easily resulting in product waste. Overall very pretty. This shadow wears well all day long even when I don't use eye primer, and it doesn't smudge.Like all the Lethal Cosmetics eye-shadow range it is a sustainable good quality product, something important to me. 

Lethal Cosmetics Pressed Eye Shadow (Mantis)

I'm a fan of Lethal Cosmetics eye-shadows as they look great on me and I get so many compliments on every single colour I put on. This shadow looks a bit different from the pan to the eye. I thought it would be a light warm peach, but it is a mix of peach and cold pink, so it looks beautiful. The golden flair is not so noticeable as in other multi-chrome shadows. Not what I expected, but still a wonderful colour that enhances my eye colour. This product is vegan, cruelty free and the packaging is made of a very cool folded cardboard, so totally recyclable, all of which is very important to me.  This shadow wears well all day long even when I don't use eye primer, and it doesn't smudge.

Lethal Cosmetics Pressed eyeshadow (Untamed)

I'm a fan of Lethal Cosmetics eye-shadows. I get so many compliments on them, that I'm the best ambassador for the brand. This shadow is one of my favourite ones of lately because I used to mix similar hues in the past, but now I have them together mixed in this gorgeous duo-chrome. The colours are clearly noticeable but subtle at the same time. This shadow wears well all day long even when I don't use eye primer, and it doesn't smudge. It looks great on my hazel eyes. A bit pricey but totally worth it. This product is vegan, cruelty free and the packaging is made of a very cool folded cardboard, so totally recyclable.

Peripera Ink Velvet #16 Heart Fuchsia Pink

This is the first product I buy from the brand and I'm very pleased with it, but also a bit disappointed.

THINGS I LOVE
> Original and fun container.
> The bottle color is very close to the lipstick color, so you'll know which color you're getting by looking at the bottle.
> It smells divine, in this case of strawberries.
> The texture of this lipstick is creamy, velvety and semi-mate.
> It dries off quickly.
> It fully covers your lips with just a stroke.
> Very moisturizing, so my lips look supple and yummy.
> Beautiful rich color.
> Good priced.

NOT SO GOOD
> The name of the color, fuchsia pink, made me think that this would be a fuchsia pink. It is more a wine color with a hint of strawberry.
> It is not semi-permanent, so it stains glasses and cups even when dry. Also, it doesn't last all day. If you eat anything, it will disappear. It is true that the stain, a pinkish color, will stay on your lips for longer, but it's not the original color you put on the lips.
> Unclear whether this is cruelty free, tested on animals or not, something that's important to me.
