Sunday = NFL Makeup!

The Haus of Goddess collection is exactly what I was hoping for shade wise, if not better. I chose this collection because I feel it’s the lowest point of entry for someone who might not feel like a Lady Gaga makeup line is for them. GLAM ATTACK LIQUID EYESHADOW APHRODITE 🌺 This is a liquid glitter shadow with a lot going for it. It wears extremely well; no flaking, smudging or fading. It has sparkle, but the particles are fine so it still feels appropriate for day time wear, at least for me. The shade Aphrodite is warmer, more pink than I thought. I really love it though and would totally recommend it. RIP LIP LINER MYTH 🌺 I love the color, the formula, and the finish of this lip liner. It’s a brownish-mauve that is impactful on my light skin. For medium skin tones, it’s likely nuder. LE RIOT LIP GLOSS-VENUS 🌺 I’m a lipgloss lover from wayback. I’m over the ultra matte lip so I’m ultra glad that glossy is back. I think one could describe Le Riot Lip Gloss as a little sticky, but honestly, I have never minded that too much. I love the color, especially over the liner. It’s not my absolute favorite lipgloss but I’m still a fan. OVERALL THOUGHTS 🌺 I am pleasantly surprised by Haus Laboratories. I really like everything I tried and would recommend everything mentioned here. I’ll have to try their eyeliner and new palette eventually. Oh, and if I do? You’ll be the first to know about it.

A part of me was actually REALLY excited to have one of Makeup By Mario’s products. I didn’t realize that it wasn’t really worth it until I counted how many weeks it’s been sitting on my desk. But I did try it about three-four times! There were good things and bad but I couldn’t get over the fact that it was so easy to find a similar product and formulation on the market. I was looking for an eyeliner that didn’t drag on the teeny weeny parts of my eye. There are only two colors that come in the pencil liner, black and brown So here’s the breakdown- 1. Formulation The formulation is much creamer than some eyeliners. The texture is similar to NARS - High-Pigment Longwear Eyelinerand from the looks of the ingredients there are several emollients(ex: Isododecane), waxes(Ex: Carnuba Wax), and stabilizers that ensure the formula doesn’t separate. Emollients help lubricate the skins surface and provide a soft/smooth appearance and feel to the product. Waxes help give product more form and are often used in cosmetics to give the product more thermal stability. This is good if you live in a hot climate, because it prevents the product from melting easily. It’s a classic formulation overall with a couple tweaks in ingredients to give you more blendability. 2. Performance The eyeliner is great on its own if you’ve never tried a pencil liner before. There was typically less skipping the first time I put it on. However, I did find it more difficult to glide onto my eyeshape when I have powder eyeshadow on. I feel like because the formula gets in contact with a powder, some of the emollient features disappear and you aren’t able to blend it into the eye as nicely. It was difficult to get a clean line on the highest points of my eye. When it’s on, it did last over 6 hours of wear in a dry climate. Those of you who have smaller-set eyes like mine, you may end up sharpening the pencil more often than others in order to get a small crisp wing. One of the highlighted features to the pencil was the brush. Looking at it now I’ve never not wanted to roll my eyes so hard to the back of my head. 😆 It’s merely there for convenience and I find that the bristles are way too long and flimsy to really get into the nooks and crannies of the eye to create a perfect smudge. It’s also not the best choice to have on a product when it comes to being eco-friendly. When you swatch it in the hand, it feels amazing. However, your hand is a flat surface with fairly tight skin and the eye area is more delicate. Therefore, you may not get the same result on the eye. I had to lift and shift some of the skin on my eye to get a clean line, which can be annoying if you’re in a pinch. 3. Final Verdict It’s a brown liner. You can literally get the same thing from FENTY BEAUTY - Flyliner Longwear Liquid Eyeliner or 3CE - Super Slim Waterproof Eyeliner 3CE Liners are awesome and go for 13 dollars!
