Ruby's Reviews

Hey guys, so I know I've only posted like three posts but I ended up catching a really horrible cold that has knocked me out constantly, plus I've been far too social with friends and being around my boyfriend. 

I still have the eyeshadow review from Make Up Revolution with the Contour Pallete that I bought with some brush reviews.

But, idek if any of you guys knew this.

You know the colored ends of MUA lipsticks, they're lip liners.

Like, what the fuck.

MY MIND IS BLOWN.

MUA has def blown my mind out the water, right about now. 

Hahaha, oh boy. 

I'm still in shock tbh. 

But, yas. 

I have so many reviews to come this way, I've just been far too busy with life to be doing anything.

Okay, so a lot of you are gonna ask, "Ruby, how did you get Kylie Jenner's lipkit, their far to expensive!?!?" Well, dear friends, let me tell you a story about how one of my closest and dearest best friends has one and she brought it to the pub last night for touch ups, either that or she read my blog and knew I was going to be out from my facebook status :p 

So on the on the website, they're all sold out and are far too expensive for my taste, but then again I did spend £100 on Estee Lauder lipsticks and lip liners, don't judge me, okay? A girl has needs, lol. Also I do apologise for these shoots, since they were taken out in a dark area. 

So, if you didn't know what a lip kit is, this is what they are. Basically you get the lip liner and the lipstick itself for £20, even though I wouldn't spend that much on something like this, for getting the lip liner AND the lipstick together is a pretty much perfect deal. We all know that lip liners can be far to much expensive, but then again so can lipstick liquid and for £20, that is not a bad price, what so ever. 

I wouldn't fork out that much for it, but it can be worth the deal. 

 So, they box is generally really cute, it's not to heavy and not to bulky and it's def something you could carry around in your purse all day. It honestly looks far to cute, especially with the art design on the front with the lips, it matches the bottle which is great branding and it still tells you what colour you have, so you don't have to second guess it. 

I like the style of it, and it's def something I could keep around in my back, or even in a little bag so I can keep it just for a touch up but that's where Estee Launder comes in for :p. 

I  gotta admit, the bottle keeps on the tradition with the box, the melted lipstick / gloss falling down the bottle is possible one of the best designs I've ever seen, it's not boring and it's not too fancy like some. It's just perfect, in every way. 

After applying the lip liner to my lips, I felt you didn't really need to enchance to much, but it just covered so it looked well with the colour. The colour in the bottle is fantastic, it's not to nudey but it still has some colour to it. 

I would def say that I would buy this colour, it looks great on the lips when finished. I did notice after applying the lip stick, you don't need as much, and it just glides over the lips, it does make them nice and soft like the website states, but even after 24 hours my lips are still soft. Possibly one of the best lipsticks that I've came across to do so. 

This is optional, you don't have to do this but my friend whose lipstick it was, told me that if you put Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Liquid Lip Potion Naked Ambition to keep the lips and lipstick from cracking, so if you do suffer from cracks in the lips after wearing lip stick for far to long, then maybe this might be a good option for you. 

You honestly don't need much to put on, like the Kylie Jenner lipstick, it just glides on and stays on top without giving it a gloss but still looking like a matte effect. It is possibly another one of the best lipsticks to wear, even just by itself. 

Above is the finishing looking from using both lipsticks on top. I always didn't think Kylie Jenner's Lip Kit was one of the best things for the price of £20, but it sure is on my list of lipsticks to get in the future, obviously when they're not sold out. Possibly one of the nicest lipsticks and shades that I've ever come across, I think I will be buying this in the future. The Estee Lauder is also £21 which isn't bad. You can buy it from the website here.

Okay, so I am basically a massive lover for lipsticks, like even when I feel completely down a new lipstick can practically save my life, well it depends on why I'm feeling down, and if I can really afford it but then again with the price of so many lipsticks being less than a fiver is completely wonderful. So two days ago, I ordered 4 lipsticks and some eye shadow brushes from MUA. I have to admit, looking at the different lipsticks they now have out is completely beautiful. 

So let's talk about packaging, I ordered these products Monday night and I can't believe they came today, I've never been so excited to be able to get a package of make up that quickly, in my entire life. Apart from when you buy it there and then, but there's always something satisfying about receiving something in the post. The packaging came wrapped in a brown letter inside the bag. 

Nothing was damaged, nothing was ripped and it came in like a space of two days which is always, always fantastic. All products where there and none was damage which is even more amazing, because we all hate it when we order something and it either comes broken or not even there, am I right? Haha. 

As you can tell I ordered 4 different lip sticks and 4 eye shadow brushes which I will review when my palettes come from Make Up Revolution, and a lot of wrapping all over the place due to being very excited to open the package. 

The four colours I got from MUA was left bottom is Parma Violet which is the light purple colour, Flamingo which is the baby pink colour on top of the light purple colour. On the right there is Persian Rose which is on the bottom, and Barely There which is on top of Persian Rose. 

I honestly thought these colours were completely lovely, I've always been wanting a nude but not too nude colour along side a baby pink that's not too pink in my face, for £1.50 on all four colours, you can't go wrong. I feel pretty good about spending that much on these lipsticks. 

I will admit that Flamingo did break on me as soon as I whirled the lipstick up. So, even though they are good for their money and the colours are nice, they are easily breakable, so handle with care! 

After opening them up and having a look inside, I decided to do what we all do best, coat a line of the colour on my arm. Barely There is a light colour of my actually arm, which is quite lovely. 

Persian Rose is possibly one of the best bright pinks that I've ever came across so far in my entire life, some days I kinda do want to have that smokey black eye and then a bright lip colour on my lips to draw attention to them and I honestly think that Persian Rose is one of the best colours to do so it's one of the reasons why I'm already completely in love with it. 

Next too it on the right is Flamingo, honestly the colour doesn't match up to what I thought it would be like, it's nearly non existence on my skin which sometimes doesn't have to be a bad thing on lips, but I feel that I'll only be getting Flamingo out when I don't want to have anything drawn to my lips. 

Last but not least we come to Parma Violet. I was honestly disappointed with this colour, I generally thought it would of been a bright light purple, clear and eye catching but it's not and that clearly disappoints me. 

After doing the skin test about the colours, I decided to put them on my lips, to see what the feel and what the colour is like, and I have to admit Barely There, Persian Rose and Flamingo actually do work quite well on the lips, which is quite nice. On the other hand Parma Violet doesn't, but I can see myself using that for just the middle part where I have a dark purple around the edges to make an ombre look. 

For lipsticks that only worth £1.50 each, I think they're worth the price.
