brutally honest beauty

I have some reviews lined up, because I bought a bunch of cheap(ish) shit recently, and I’ll feel less guilty about the expense if I get all servicey. NYX and Milani were brands I’d never tried before, so I wanted to give them a shot (brief verdict: good). If you’ve been wondering about any of these products in particular, let me know, and I will move it to the top of the list.

So these are the things I got from Ulta:

• Color Stay Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain by Revlon in Crush and Honey


• Mood Lip Gloss by NYX in Clear


• Hi Definition Photo Concealer Wand by NYX in Fair


• Slim Sparkle Eye Pencil by NYX in Bronze Sparkle


• Studio Liquid Liner by NYX in Extreme Smoky Gray and Extreme Plum Purple


• Eyebrow Cake Powder by NYX in Auburn/Red


• Lip Crayon by ULTA in Valentine

And these are the things I got from drugstore.com:

• Wet n Wild Color Icon Collection Eyeshadow Set in Comfort Zone (I’ll be posting about this very soon. Spoiler: IT IS FUCKING AWESOME.)


• Milani Baked Powder Blush in Luminoso


• Milani Lip Flash Full Coverage Shimmer Gloss Pencil in In a Flash
