For this review I am focusing on one particular shade, Lychee Plump from the L'ORÉAL - Colour Riche Plump and Shine Lipstick collection. The photos really don’t do it justice but I hope you get the idea. The first photo makes it look like just a white balm, but really it has a really lovely gold shimmer to it when you see it in real life. I tried to swatch it on the top of my hand in the second picture, which again doesn’t do it justice but hopefully you can see the pretty sheen that it leaves behind. I’m typically not a huge lipstick person because my lips will typically get super chapped afterwards. So I typically lean towards balms, glosses or even lip masks for my lips when I’m going out. But I read that this lipstick was actually like a lipstick-balm hybrid so I thought I would give it a go! The good: + This is a super buttery formula that gives your lips such a nice plump / juicy look to them. + This doesn’t dry out my lips or leave them chapped! Now, I wouldn’t say that this can be used instead of a lip balm / mask, I think you still need those in your life. But I was pleasantly surprised as how soft my lips stay / moisturized after wearing this. + This shade, Lychee Plump, is so pretty for summer. It gives your lips this clear glossy look with a beautiful golden sheen. The gold is more like a slight shimmer and it’s not chunky or glittery. + You can’t go wrong with the price. These are like $10 depending on where you shop. + This is very versatile. I have worn this on its own OR on top of another lip colour as a lip topper OR the other day I even dabbed a bit of this onto my cheekbones as a highlight which I thought was super pretty for going to the beach. + There is a slightly sweet scent which is very subtle. The not so good: - This won’t last hours and hours. After about two hours I definitely feel the need to reapply because this is definitely more like a balm versus a true lipstick that dries down. I don’t mind this because I tend to go for more natural looks and honestly I think that’s the price I pay for a more hydrating lip product. - I think overall, I do like this product but I’ve decided I prefer the really dewy look that glosses provide versus lipsticks. This formula is glossy and juicy looking, but I think the glosses just doesn’t more for me. I’m not sure if that makes sense 🙈 - I mean, the jury is out on whether this actually plumps the lips. It definitely feels tingly and I think the formula itself makes the lips look super plump, but I’m not sure if the tingling led to any extra plumpness of the lips. I don’t mind the tingle sensation, not a huge deal for me. Worth it? Sure! It’s affordable, super pretty, very versatile and doesn’t dry my lips out. Will I repurchase? I do really like this and I can see myself buying another couple colours next summer, but for the rest of this year I think I might stick with my glosses when I go out and about. I prefer the dewy finish on my lips.

I have tried so many different lip products and combos, and these 3 combos are definitely my favourite at the moment! All these products are long wearing and look amazing on the lips. Lip Combo #1: KKW Beauty Nude 1 Lip Liner + Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lipstick I’m a huge fan of rosy nude lips and the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow talk lipstick is perfect! I like to pair it with the KKW Nude 1 liner because this liner acts as a sort of contour for the lips since it’s darker and more brown than the lipstick. KKW BEAUTY - KKW BEAUTY Nude Lip Liner Charlotte Tilbury - Hot Lips Lipstick Lip Combo #2: KKW Nude 1 Lip Liner + KKW Nude 1 Lipstick This has been my go to nude lip for a while now! I could never find the “perfect nude” that worked for my skin tone, and finally I’m so glad that I did. This combo is the perfect light nude shade and is perfect for everyday wear. It goes with any makeup look too! KKW BEAUTY - KKW BEAUTY Nude Lip Liner KKW BEAUTY - Nude Crème Lipstick Lip Combo #3: Kylie Cosmetics Kylie Lip Kit (Lip Liner + Matte Liquid Lip) There’s no denying the fact that Kylie Jenners pout is iconic. So what better way to achieve her go to lips than actually use her go to lip products!? The “Kylie” Lip Kit is her go to (hence the name haha) it’s the perfect pink nude and makes your lips look super plump because of the darker lipliner that comes in the kit. The pairing of the darker lip liner with the pink nude liquid lip contours your lips for that Kylie pout effect! KYLIE COSMETICS - KYLIE COSMETICS Matte Liquid Lipstick

I love a holographic shimmer, a color shift, a duochrome. I’m a sucker for them all. Just a collection of holographic inspired products ogx - Kandee Pop Glam Ultra-Hydrating Conditioner this and the shampoo that go with it are my favorite. They smell so sooooo good. And the scent stays. I actually hadn’t used regular shampoo/condition in a couple years but broke my routine just for this scent. Now I’m hooked. It’s great for coaxing a wave out too. KVD VEGAN BEAUTY - Alchemist Holographic Palette eh. Pretty and fun. You aren’t wearing it everyday so who cares beyond that. It’s cool as hell. LUSH - Groovy Kind Of Love Bath Bomb I could go broke buying all the Lush bath bombs. This one is no exception. Smells amazing. The color can sometimes stain your skin though, it’s hit or miss. GLAMGLOW - Glowstarter Mega Illuminating Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer this is one of those products that I can’t ever tell if I love it or hate it. It smells good. Has a good texture. Sometimes I’ll wear instead of moisturizer and I feel like a shimmery oil slick. I think it’s better dabbed on dry spots. I have it in Nude Glow Rare Beauty - Always an Optimist Illuminating Primer URBAN DECAY - URBAN DECAY Single Eyeshadow I would buy every dang duo chrome color Urban Decay made I love these so much! These 2 are Tonic and Lounge. BECCA - Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter I use this alllllll the time as a highlight for the inner corner of my eyes or to give my lips an extra pop. It’s way too shimmery for all over though. #Doll Face Beauty - hologram prismatic lip gloss[products]#[FourStars] perfect holographic color. Sheer shimmery blue. A little sticky and doesn’t last long.

Let’s get Crispy Nugget Bronze. This is my favourite summer look 😍 Starting with my holy grail Sunblock! Supergoop! - Glow Stick SPF 50 I like using glowy foundations. Complexion is my favourite part of makeup! A flawless base means a flawless look. NARS - Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation I have pretty prominent eye creases and dark circles so I use medium - full coverage concealers. This colourpop one is very light weight but packs a punch! COLOURPOP - Pretty Fresh Hyaluronic Concealer SETTING POWDERRRR is the most IMPORTANT part of my base. I set my under eyes and entire face with it. My powder of choice is the Fenty pro filtr powder its SUPER matte so if you have dry skin, skip this or apply moderately. Setting with powder ensures your face stays PUTTTT. FENTY BEAUTY - Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Setting Powder Using eyeshadow sticks is super easy and doesn’t take much of a learning curve. I usually like golds because it looks amazing on brown eyes and melanin in general 😋 I’d say find a shadow thats similar to the pencil shade and set it so theres no creasing on the lid NYX - Jumbo Eye Pencil I like thick bushy brows with defined strokes so this Nyx pencil helps me to create thin hairlike strokes NYX - Micro Brow Pencil Blush is my weakness I love rosy pink cheeks. My favourite is from Wet n Wild it lasts allll day ! wet n wild - Color Icon Blush I prefer more golden highlighters so I tend to use shimmery bronzers to achieve a more golden glowy crispy nugget hue 😭 HIKARI COSMETICS - HIKARI COSMETICS Shimmer Bronzer I have the shortest lashes so a good mascara is necessary that can work with or without false lashes the benefit bad gal bang is THAT GIRL! benefit - BADgal BANG! Volumizing Mascara Top it off with a glossy lip, glossy never sticky !! This shade is Creme Brulee NYX - Butter Gloss
