Huda Beauty Baddie Berry Cheeky Tint Cream Blush Stick Review & Swatches

Baddie Berry Huda Beauty Baddie Berry Cheeky Tint Cream Blush Stick ($25.50 for 0.17 oz.) is a medium-dark berry with subtle, cool undertones and a satiny sheen. It dried down to a more matte feel, but it seemed to retain a little luminosity while it didn’t actually transfer color when touched. It had medium, buildable pigmentation, which was in line with the marketing, that applied best to bare skin if using a fingertip and could be carefully applied over base products if using a light-hand and a brush. The texture was emollient and very cream-like initially, but it took about 15 seconds to set. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading visibly on me.

ColourPop Epiphany & Cut Loose So Glass Lip Glosses Reviews & Swatches

Epiphany ColourPop Epiphany So Glassy Lip Gloss ($8.00 for 0.2 oz.) is a light, milky peach base with random flecks of pink and gold sparkle. This was more like a cream-based gloss with such sparse and random sparkle that it looked more like leftover sparkle from a prior lip product than something embedded in the product. I think that while it produced shine and glassiness, it was quite different from the rest of the line-up that it might have caused confusion. The texture was smooth, moderately tacky, and on the thicker side, though it didn’t feel heavy to me. It wore well for four hours and was moisturizing over time.

Profumum Battito d'Ali Perfume Review

Profumum Roma Battito d’Ali Eau de Parfum was a blend of soft cocoa powder with orange blossom and creamy, almost milky, vanilla. It evoked the fading aroma of a baked chocolate-and-orange cake–not so sweet that it was cake-like, because there was a sweet, lightly spiced woody undertone that kept it from being an actual dessert. Profumum listed the notes as: cocoa powder, myrrh, orange flowers, and vanilla. Some retailers also list coconut. It opened with sharp, bitter citrus that smoothed out with a honeyed sweetness over the first few minutes. There was a delicate whisper of orange blossom, but the sharpness of bergamot came through more readily with the floral quality being quite airy and light. As the resinous sweetness and almost clove-like spice of the myrrh and vanilla combined, the sharpness dissipated and let the fragrant orange blossoms take centerstage. There was a dusting of cocoa powder underneath it all, and at very brief intervals, it smelled like sweet, creamy lotio...
