REVIEW: Avon Ultra Color Lipsticks (MINI) (Carnation and Cozy Mauve)



 Obviously another review for you guys :) So I purchased these sample Avon Ultra Color Lipsticks for $0.99 each. Let me just say I hate ordering lipsticks from Avon because their swatches are nothing like the actual product. But back to the review, I really love these lipsticks, they're super pigmented and smooth and come in loads of different colors! I have two colors, which are Cozy Mauve and Carnation. I guess I can't speak for the entire line of lipsticks since some colors might be formulated differently than these. I really love these but I have to wear a lip balm underneath because it can be a bit drying on my lips. As much as I love these lipsticks I think you can find cheaper ones at the drugstore since these can run at a pretty high price. But if you're really into lipsticks and are willing spend a tiny bit more then I really recommend these and I would give them a go. Also,
Top: Carnation; Bottom: Cozy Mauve
if you are not pleased with the product, you can send it back to Avon and get a refund. 

OVERALL RATING: 3/5
I am quite upset with the swatches given in the book and how they did not look at all like the lipsticks I received. But the lipsticks itself give off beautiful pigmentation and the finish is stunning.

REVIEW: Blistex Lip Medex


This is going to be a really quick and fast review. This is the Blistex Lip Medex Lip Balm for cold sores, cracked and dry lips. This lip balm really saved me after a camping trip, I had horribly dry lips and it was to the point where the skin around my lips even started to crack! I bought this afterwards and the next day my lips were soft and the cracks were healed. So recommend this lip balm to everyone even if you don't get extremely dry lips because if a cold sore randomly pops up, this heals it the next morning! Btw I bought this for $3.99 at my local drugstore, totally affordable!

REVIEW: Billie Cosmetics Radiant Blusher (Rose)


I purchased this blush months ago from Dollar Tree, I bought because it's only a dollar and didn't think I would actually use it as a blush. When I got home I swatched it and it was very chalky and white, but then I applied on my cheeks with my Elf Studio Stipple Brush and it was absolutely gorgeous! It appears more pigmented on the cheek rather than the hand. This comes in three shades which are Rose, Coral, and Barbie (I think). This one looked the most natural and looked best with my skintone. I am planning to pick up Coral next time I go to Dollar Tree because it looked quite nice. I wouldn't purchase Barbie myself because it has a very bright purple undertone. Now these blushes are reasonably pigmented and are at a great price but the quality isn't what I look for in a blush. It doesn't really go on smooth and the formula isn't buttery at all. This blush is actually quite easy to blend so I don't 
 really mind the fact that it doesn't go on so smooth. Something that really bothers me about the packaging is that feels and look cheap and I feel like the plastic is going to break. Also, there is no information what so ever on the product itself, only on the cardboard it came with so that pretty annoying.

OVERALL RATING: 2/5
-Really inexpensive
-Decent pigmentation 
-Blendable
-Formula sucks
-Packaging sucks
-Smells bad (but not once applied to the face)
