Sephora Plum & Mulberry Lip Last Matte Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

Plum Sephora Plum Lip Last Matte Lipstick ($14.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark plum with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. The initial finish had a bit of shine to it, but it set after five minutes or so to a mostly flat, matte finish. The texture was lightweight and thin, yet very velvety so it glided across my lips with ease but didn’t feel traditionally wet or creamy. The product applied evenly with a bit of product that sat in my lip lines that I was able to smooth out after letting it set for two minutes. The nice thing about the dry down/setting of the formula was how flexible it felt on my lips, while it was transfer-resistant and longer-wearing than traditional lipstick. It lasted nicely for six hours and felt non-drying while worn. FURTHER READING : Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent).

Best of ColourPop Wild Nothing Collection

The new ColourPop Wild Nothing Collection included two new formulas–Creme Shadows and Lux Lip Oils–along with a new, eyeshadow palette, three powder blushes (in new, plastic compacts), and two cream eyeshadows. I struggled to get the new Creme Shadow formula to work for me but, ultimately, I didn’t find a method that made it work well on my mobile lid but could get it to look decent above my crease (around my brow bone). I know some readers were hoping for something comparable to MAC Paint Pots, but they definitely felt a lot drier and heavier to me than Paint Pots (and obviously didn’t perform anywhere near the same). I’m really looking forward to hearing from readers on how they find the formula to be. The new Lux Lip Oils are comfortable, hydrating, and non-sticky, but they’re sheer (as intended!), so they’re the kind of product that tends to look more similar applied than they initially appear in the tubes–that’s code for “you don’t need them all!” The two Jelly Much Shadows are...

What highlighter would you create if you could? Share the brand, color, finish, name!

I want a transparent base with smooth, finer deeper, golden beige pearl paired with slightly larger flecks of peach and iridescent violet micro-sparkle. I want the finish to be glowing, shiny but still pretty smooth. I’d love to see it by Natasha Denona in the Super Glow formula. I’d call it... — Christine Join Discussion source https://www.temptalia.com/what-highlighter-would-you-create-if-you-could-share-the-brand-color-finish-name/

What blush would you create if you could? Share the brand, color, finish, name!

A mid-tone, pink-leaning coral base with fine, duochrome pearl that shifted between violet and teal paired with a luminous sheen–smooth but glowing. I’d love to see it in MAC’s Extra Dimension formula. I’d call it Sunset’s Edge. — Christine Join Discussion source https://www.temptalia.com/what-blush-would-you-create-if-you-could-share-the-brand-color-finish-name/
