Best & Worst of Fenty Beauty Poutsicle Lipsticks

Best & Worst of Fenty Beauty Poutsicle Lipsticks

Fenty Beauty Poutsicle Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.10 oz.) is supposed to have "bold" color with a "juicy, satin finish." They're bright, bold, and fairly pigmented (some being opaque, a couple being a bit under) with a smooth, creamy consistency that feels like a cross between a lipstick and a lip balm...

Ciate Marbled Metals Metallic Glitter Eyeshadow ($24.00 for 0.14 oz.) is supposed to be "highly-blendable" with "full-metal coverage" that has "long-lasting, three-dimensional shine." They are recommended to be applied with "fingertips for effortless, one-swipe application.

Best & Worst of Urban Decay Sparkle Out Loud Collection

Best & Worst of Urban Decay Sparkle Out Loud Collection

Urban Decay Sparkle Out Loud Collection is for glitter lovers first and foremost (duh!).  The 24/7 Eyeliners and Hi-Fi Lip Glosses were my favorites to work with, as they were pretty true to form and consistent with how they're marketed. 

The Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliners are fun to use as top coats over...

Best & Worst of MAC x Disney Aladdin Collection

MAC x Disney Aladdin Collection is a new, limited edition launch in collaboration with the new, live-action Aladdin movie.  Surprised hits included MAC's Your Wish is My Command, which is a "powder blush" but looks more like a typical bronzer and Diamond in the Rough, which was very sparkly and...

Best & Worst Bite Beauty Road Trip with Bite Amuse Bouche Lipsticks

Here's a look back at how well the newest lipstick shades from Bite Beauty Road Trip with Bite Collection performed!

Touch in Sol Metallist Sparkling Foiled Eyeshadows ($18.00 for 0.04 oz.) is supposed to be "highly pigmented" and "shine with luxurious glitters," which can be used with "fingertips or a synthetic brush."

Best & Worst of Charlotte Tilbury Glowgasm Collection

Best & Worst of Charlotte Tilbury Glowgasm Collection

After testing all of the new products from the Charlotte Tilbury Glowgasm Collection, it was a bit of a mixed bag! The Lovegasm palette was nice, while the Lightgasm palette was less pigmented and stiffer/firmer in the pans, so it was less easy to work with. The three new shades of Light Wands were...

Best & Worst NARS Orgasm Collection (Summer 2019)

Best & Worst NARS Orgasm Collection (Summer 2019)

The new, NARS Orgasm Collection, might have been intended as the 20th anniversary celebration of cult product, Orgasm Blush, but it fell rather short of anything resembling a real celebration.  I'd argue that the Endless Orgasm Palette was the "star" of the launch, and it was the worst of the...

Now that I've finished reviewing the range, let's review how well Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk'r Instant Warmth Bronzers ($30.00 for 0.22 oz.) performed overall! The formula is supposed to have "long-wear" that is "transfer-resistant," "easy to blend, and "light-as-air" with buildable coverage that "is...
