For a fair while now, I have owned a fair few Essence lipsticks, and I love them.

I love the packaging of these little guys.

They aren't big and bulky like other traditional lipsticks, and I love the print on the lipstick.

The tubes are very simple, and the sticker on the bottom is just your traditional lipstick sticker.

The lipstick is very creamy, so far so good.

I find the pigmentation to be slightly lacking, which I find great for daily wear.

Especially with a pink like this. It isn't an in your face pink.

These are around $4-$5 AUD in Priceline Australia, which is a very good price point in Australia.

The lipstick doesn't make my lips show it's dry side something chronic, although I have noticed that when paired with a lip liner it does.

So far I am very satisfied. The colour isn't a normal colour I would choose. I am not a huge fan of pink lipsticks. I more so love my nudes and purples. But I am very happy with this shade!

Once again, thanks for reading guys :)

Once again it is first Impressions Time!!! YAY!

This morning I picked up a package from my local post office from the lovely team at Klara Cosmetics. Once again, from companies that have sent me cute gifts, I must say I am already 100% pleased.

I have not tried the primer yet, but I have tried both of the liquid lipsticks

These liquid lipsticks retail for $29 AUD on their website.

Now honestly, I just seen the price as I was typing this. My first thought was "so damn worth it" so now I will explain why!!

These's liquid lipsticks are very similar to the Australis Velour lips, which I had brought one recently in a Priceline Haul which you can view here:

I loved the velour lips for their colour pay off, but I did have issues with it being uncomfortable, not having good coverage, and being very drying.

BUT, the ones I have received are the complete opposite from this.

They are still vibrant, but they have a very smooth application. It feels like you are applying a gloss basically. It glides on with an even coverage, as you can see in the photo at the top, which was one coat. The colours are somewhat build-able as they are quite pigmented, and they aren't very drying.

I have been wearing mine since I picked my package up.

I dropped the kiddo's at school and Kindy, picked up my package, tried them out quickly for photo's, put the colour 02 on then ate breakie. It has passed the breakie, kissing fiance, and monster energy drink test (monster normally rips shreds through my matte liquid lipsticks or glosses), and I would not be surprised if it lasts until I pick up the kids.

It is already so comfortable to wear.

The colour 01 is a very shimmery, light pink shade, and 02 is a very pigmented almost nude pink. A bit to vibrant to be a nude but getting close to it is probably the best way to describe it. Almost the perfect Bridal colour.

Hope this inspires you to give Klara Cosmetics a try. They are definitely worth the $29!! I can justify paying that much for a good quality product!!

Once again, I am reviewing another one of my Valentine's presents from my lovely darling fiance!

I adore these lipsticks and for $7 for all three, I couldn't go wrong.

I love the colors of the lipsticks, they suit my skin colour well.

I cannot pull off a lot of colours.

They are a bit on the drying side if worn for a long period of time, but not as bad compared to lots of other Lipsticks I have used. They are the best lipsticks so far on myself.

They smell really good, considering most lipsticks normally smell like s*it.

And I mean they smell really good!

The colour pay off is great as well. The more brown one isn't as bright, but I did expect that for a Brown, and I do not like brown lipstick to be harsh when I wear them. More so, because when I wear brown, I will only put it on lightly in the first place.

Overall this is a really good set of lipsticks.

It does suck a bit that I left one in our warm car and it melted a bit and snapped, which is the gorgeous purple one!

Here is my Rave & Crave YouTube vid that pairs with this post!

This lipstick is so nice and creamy. Such a beautiful shade.

It is moisturizing, to some extent (what you would expect from a lippy)

Definately a lippy I would re-purchase.

Defs a 5 out of 5.

I am not so great at explaining, so I'm keeping it short.

It's been a little while since I picked up my Models Prefer Lipstick.

But well, I have used it to death, and loved it!

It no longer looks like this haha

I love Models Prefer Lipstick. It's a nice smooth lipstick, has a nice gloss finish and best of all, it has a nice sweet candy smell! <3

It's just such a great lipstick to own!

 

I have always love tie dyed jeans.

It is seriously an obsession of mine.

I fell in love with this beauties when I first saw them.
