Mirenesse Lip Bomb 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, and 15 Review and Swatches

When i received my Ipsy bag for the month of October i got to try this great product that was a hybrid of lip gloss, lip stick, lip stain, and lip lacquer called a Lip Bomb by Mirenesse. I was so in love with this revolutionary product that i had to go and purchase (nearly) all of them! By joining their VIP club i was able to get all of these products at a very steep discount and will give more information about this interesting club in a future post.

Mirenesse Lip Bombs have a smooth and creamy formula that glides on the lips effortlessly. The applicator is a uniquely shaped sponge that allows you to define your lips while also filling them in. The application is highly pigmented and rich in color without feeling thick or sticky on the lips. You can blot these to produce a more matte appearance otherwise these will stay glossy on the lips for hours. I did not experience feathering since these are thicker than an average lip gloss, however, i did experience some color depositing with some of the lighter shades. When i pressed my lips together and then then opened them there was a thin line of color, which looked a little thicker. This doesnt last long though, after about an hour of wear this problem was no longer an issue. I would suggest applying the lighter shades just a little thinner. While wearing these my son accidentally hit me in my lip area and this product did not budge and kept it's shine! This is a high quality product that will leave you with lucious, colored, high shine lips that will last all day.

This shade is slightly different from the rest in that it is meant to be layered over other lip bombs to lighten or highlight them. Great for ombre lips.

Lasting Finish By Kate for Rimmel London + Wet N Wild Mega Last Salon Nail Color Review

I just couldn't help myself today. While waiting to fill a prescription for my son i had to check out the Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick. I have been hearing great things about it and wanted to see what all the hype was about. Well to say the least a lot of the colors were very similar to each other but two stood out to me- shade 15 and shade 06.

On a trip, Lasting Finish by Kate  15, 06, I need a refresh-mint, Candy-licous

Lasting Finish by Kate 15  and 06

Shade 15 looks like a shadowy  gray/purple in the tube. When applied its a shimmery purple. The shade is a dark plum. I don't find it all that flattering on the lips. According to Rimmel London this color is supposed to be applied over or under another color to intensify or mute the other color. I think this would look great under some of my lighter purples to mute them a little for fall. The smell of this lipstick is fantastic. It smells somewhat like candy and reminds me of childhood. I thought that was a very cute touch. I love when a company pays attention to the details.

In a light sunlight room, Lasting Finish by Kate color 15. Left my lips looking thinner.

  

As for shade 06. This is a coral-ish pink. It is very pigmented. It goes on smooth, and ive been wearing it for about 4 hours without any fading or drying. I love the color payoff and the color itself. It comes off very bright on the lips and also has a nice candy-ish scent. The tubes on these lipsticks are also very classy, matte black with Kate's signature. For $6 these lipsticks seem worth it.

Lasting Finish by Kate 06 over 15. I am not sure i like this color muted. I like the bright version better.

Lasting Finish by Kate 15 over 06 I like the purple tone 15 gives 06.

Another few items i picked up today are Wet N Wild's Megalast Salon Nail Color. I choose colors that i refer to as "in the 80's family". These pastel colors remind me of the 80s/early 90's and leave me nostalgic. It also doesn't hurt that they are super opaque, only require one coat, have a flat brush for easy coverage, and dry fast. For $1.99 i have to say i am in love with these polishes. Their quality is worth much more than their selling price.
