Make Up For Ever Flash Color Review & Swatches

I recently picked up 2 MUFE flash color individual pots @ Sephora after hearing so much about these from other MUA's in the industry. They cost about $20.00 CAD each or you can buy the 12 color palette for approx $95.00 CAD. If you have the $$ the palette is the better buy as a little goes a very long way.

Product Description What it is: Complete coverage, special effect cream color for face, eyes, lips, and cheeks.What it is formulated to do:A must-have for any professional makeup artist, these thick creamy colors flawlessly cover the skin and can be easily shaded together to obtain a wide variety of effects, depending on the quantity applied. Use to create special effects with color like decorative designs on the face or body. They can also be used for face painting on children.

I picked up the Coral & Fuchsia while I was there because I found them very versatile colors.

Here are the swatches without a flash.

They are so creamy, glide on without any effort and a little goes a LONG way so these should last forever!

I have tried the coral on my cheeks, lips and as a base for eyeshadow and it is by far my fav of the 2 (mostly because I don't usually wear bright bold colors) however I used the fuchsia on a models lips and it was really pretty.

Here Ive used the coral on my lids as a base and then gone over it with Naked Lunch by Mac shadow to set it and give it a bit of a shimmer.

The skies the limit with these flash colors and I will most likely be picking up the palette to complete my collection because even just owning these makes me feel more creative ;)

Makeup Forever Waterproof Liquid Liner Review

My wonderful mother brought these liners home for me from her trip to Montreal. Although I probably wont use them in my kit as I prefer gel or pencil liners I did want to test out this "waterproof" claim Makeup For Ever makes.

I got #1 "Black" and #2 "Brown" which are the only 2 colors MUFE makes for this liquid liner.

I like the packaging and the bottle it comes in as its small compact and comparable in size to most other liquid liners.

Here I swatched them so you could see how the pigment is. Pretty awesome if you ask me. I'm not usually a fan of brown because I find it never really looks brown when you put it on but this one is a true rich brown.

The brush is not firm at all which made it hard to draw a straight line.

Pros:

• Great colour pigment
• Great size
• Once dry is VERY waterproof (washed my hands and even scrubed and it didnt budge!)
• Great for swimming, the beach or hot vacations & tears!
• Lasts all day
• Easy to remove with waterproof makeup remover

Cons:

• Pricey @ $22.00 + tax cdn each
• The brush is not firm & hard to use
• Only comes in 2 colors
• Does NOT dry instantly so you have to wait or it may smudge

Conclusion:
While I'm impressed by its long lasting staying power I don't think I would put these on my wishlist or purchase them myself again. I'm really not a fan of the brush and if I use this product again I will use my angle liner brush instead of the brush it comes with.

I give this product one thumb up and one thumb down!

Have you tried this product? What are your thoughts?

If anyone out there really loves this product and wants to do a swap with me I'm totally open to it. It has only been swatched on the back of my sanitized hand.

Mac Haul , MUFE & Sweet Scents!

I get asked a lot what scent I'm wearing and although I like to change it up most days you will find me wearing this...

Yes its marketed towards young girls and tweens but its only $4.95 CDN @ Walmart for the body spray AND the scented lotion (shown below) so I figured I'd try it. I did and have been stocking up ever since.
Its light, fresh & cheap! If you like the smell of candy or are into sweet smelling scents you will love this.

I also recently ordered some goodies from Mac that finally came in so I thought id share.
I got the empty 15 pan eye shadow palette which you can see below I've filled (in random order for now) with some of my shadows I had been storing in many quad palettes.

I also picked up the new Rose scent spray perfume that Mac recently came out with because really who doesn't want to smell like roses?! I love this spray because the scent seems to last a long time on me which is always good.

Lastly I got my Makeup For Ever Aqua Black waterproof eyeshadow. Ive been waiting to try this for a while now. I have a swimsuit/water shoot coming up and this will be perfect for making the eyes pop!

There you have it folks! Cheap deals & new toys ;)
