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 “Greyfitti” Review

  Hello everyone! Today I have a review for one of my newer polishes by Sally Hansen called “Greyfitti” (#260). So, keep reading to see what I think!  The first thing I have to say is that this polish took 3 coats to get this opacity. That was a little bit annoying, but it didn’t take too long to dry and this color is very pretty. I guess if you needed a really transparent grey color for any type of nail design that this polish could be considered multifunctional.  Also, this color reminds me of Candie’s “Concrete Jungle”, which I’ve done reviews on before, except it's a bit of a lighter shade of grey. I may like Candie’s a bit better… no offense to Sally Hansen lol. This polish is great and you know that I love Sally Hansen products, but I prefer the other one a bit more. Overall, I’d say that this polish deserves 4 out of 5 stars. I like the color and it dries quickly. So far it has lasted with no chips (even though I haven’t had it on for that long so I’...

DIY: Pumpkin Spiced Latte

Hey everyone! So, like the basic white girl I am, I love pumpkin spiced lattes. However, buying them every day can really drain your bank account (or in this case my allowance hehe). Today I have decided to teach you how to make an easy, quick pumpkin spiced latte. Naturally, I found this recipe from Pinterest, but I tweaked it a bit. Here’s what you’ll need: ¾ cup milk (I used 2% because that’s what was in the fridge) 2 tsp. white granulated sugar 2 tbsp. pumpkin puree ¼ tsp. vanilla extract A palm full of pumpkin spice ½ cup hot coffee Whip cream (for an extra touch, but it’s optional) Start off with combining your milk, sugar, pumpkin, vanilla, and pumpkin spice. You’ll want to blend this mixture until it is frothy. I used a hand mixer, but you can use a blender if you want. Next, you want to heat up the pumpkin mixture you just made. The original recipe said to heat it in a sauce pan, which I did the first time, but I was too lazy this time an...

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 ...
