Hard Candy Velvet Mousse Matte Lip Colors Review


So my birthday happened and with my money I went out and bought some lipsticks because I am addicted to buying makeup. I really wanted some lipsticks that are matte and also one that was purple. I saw these Hard Candy lip colors and the packaging was so cute I had to get them. 
I decided to get two colors: “Wisteria” (#1078) (the purple one) and “Cherry Blossom” (#1077) (the pink one). I really love both of these colors. Wisteria is really edgy looking and Cherry Blossom is one I could wear daily. When I took out the lip color it was in a skinny tube and it had a standard lip gloss style brush. I kind of expected it to be more of a round container with maybe more lip color, but that’s fine by me. The packaging says they are 0.23oz each.

I swatched the colors on my hand so you could see them, however, I took the picture right after and it looks a bit glossy, but that’s not actually how they are. The colors are matte as it says; you just have to let them dry. The most amazing part about these lip colors though is the smell. They are called “Velvet Mousse” which I didn’t think anything of and I thought it was just a fancy name. BUT. But… they actually smell like velvet. Like red velvet cake. Really sweet and vanilla-like and it is A MAZ ING. I would buy these again just for the smell alone. 

Overall I really like them. I’m excited to wear them on a regular basis. They seem to last a while once they dry (even though it still comes off a bit) and they are great colors. Maybe I’ll buy some more in the future. That is all for now. I bought some more nail polish as I tend to do, so I may swatch those for my next blogpost. See ya then

Miracle Gel "Game of Chromes" Review

Hello everyone! I recently purchased another nail polish from Sally Hansen’s Miracle Gel collection called “Game of Chromes” (#510) and I thought I’d write a review for it today. Frist of all, the name is genius. Secondly, lol, the color is gorgeous. It is really shiny and when you move your fingers under the light it kind of looks like it switches between silver and gold, like a hologram or something. It is just a really nice color if you are looking for a solid nail design that isn't super boring. I also really liked the formula of the polish. It went on very smoothly (just like the others from the line did) and it was opaque with one coat. When I used the top coat (which you have to buy separately unless you get a kit and it’s expensive but whatever), it lasted a long time with no chips. It still isn’t chipped and I could keep it on, but I redo my nails every week lol. That is all for today, but you can check out my most recent YouTube video here, or look through...

L.A. Colors Color Last - First Impressions

Hey everybody! So I was walking around my local Walmart about 2 weeks ago and I came across a new display of nail polish for L.A. Colors Color Last nail polish. The polishes went for 2 dollars (I think anyway they were pretty cheap) and they claimed to last up to 10 days with the top coat. I decided I’d test that out because why not buy more nail polish that will inevitably dry out and be wasted, whatever. So that is what this blog post is for; I’ll be giving you my first impressions of both the actual polish and the top coat itself.  The color I chose is called “Friendship” and it’s a neutral purple color with slight pink tones. It also has this weird glitter that you can only see when it’s wet or if you have eagle eyes. Anyway, it is a nice color (I used 2 coats) but I had a few problems with application. This particular polish did NOT go on smoothly at all and it looked really rough on its own. I contemplated testing the polish without the top coat on one hand for a ...

Ombre, Lily Manicure

Hey guys! I know it's been a while, but I have had ZERO clue of what designs to do and I've been doing solid colors all summer. However, last night I decided to practice making my own nail stickers and they turned out super well. I went with two types of lilies, white lilies and purple/white lilies, and decided to put them on a two-toned ombre. For the "stickers" I started with a piece of parchment paper and a clear polish. With the polish I painted 10 rectangles which I would be painting my designs over. I ended up trimming my stickers down to size later so don't worry if the base is a bit too big. After about a minute I began painting my designs over top of the rectangles making sure they weren't too big for my nail beds. I looked at a picture of a lily for reference and then just went for it. I started with the white petals, added the center color, added thin green lines with a nail art brush for stems in the center and finally the brown dots on the ste...
