Closeups & swatches




Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick
I received the shade in '69'


Urban Decay Revolution '69' Lipstick
Smooth application. Super pigmented. 1 swipe goes a long way.


Urban Decay Revolution '69' Lipstick (indoor, natural lighting)
Lasted 4 hours before the color started fading off.


Full size retails $22 at Sephora.
Available in 20 shades.


Michael Todd Pumpkin Nutrient-Rich Facial Mask
Nourishing & moisturizing. Not for sensitive skin.
Slight burning sensation upon first applying, but the feeling was quickly gone after a few seconds. After washing the mask off, my face felt sooo soft and supple... like a baby's bottom! It's been 3 days since I used it, and no breakouts so far.


Pixi 'Blackest Black' Lash Booster Mascara
Honestly, nothing special about this one... it performs ok at lengthening, results are clumpy, and it doesn't hold curls. I own a lot of mascaras and I would never reach for this one knowing I have others that perform much better. The formula seems to be waterproof as well, which isn't something I prefer in my mascara.

Chella 'Dazzling Dark Brown' Eyebrow Pencil
LOVE THIS! The formula is so creamy, it glides on so smoothly. The skinny pencil actually makes it really easy to define the brows. And best of all... no sharpening! I got the color in 'dark brown', which matches my hair/skintone perfectly.

Pacifica Alight Multi-Mineral BB Cream
Doesn't have much coverage, it's more like a sheer tinted moisturizer, but I love the way it smoothens and evens out my face. My face felt so soft afterwards, I couldn't stop touching it. Has a really nice smell that's slightly perfumey but not too overwhelming.
