Pixi Prime and Line Review

I think i am in love. Pixi Prime and Line in No. 1 Nearly Clear, is the greatest addition to my makeup collection since liquid liner. For such a simple product it really does a lot. Ever bought a streaky lipstick? A lipstick lacking pigment? Too creamy? Bleeding? Creasing? You name the problem and this magic little product will fix them all. High end to low end, just apply under your lipstick (has the feeling of any MAC matte lipstick on your lips) and apply your problem lipstick over it and it will fix any flaw it has. It even masks lip flaws so if you haven't had time to exfoliate your lips or if its winter and you are going through a bad case of the chaps this will allow you to wear your favorite light color and allow it to be forgiving.


Want more reasons to love it? Its nearly clear as its name, No. 1 Nearly Clear, imply, so it wont change or lighten the color of your lipstick. It comes with a clear liner so that if you have a problem lipstick that bleeds or want to make your lips look bigger or smaller without using the wrong color liner just use the clear liner and you can make your lips look perfect every time. Plus because this is under your lipstick it allows the pigments in your lipstick to last almost 2x longer on your lips. It acts the same way eye primer works with eye shadow (and you know how i swear by eye primer!).

 This is the most must have product I have ever mentioned in this blog. You can pick it up here! Or if you are a Birchbox member you can use your 100 points and only pay 8 dollars for this!


Do you use lip primer? If so what is it?

Annabelle Big Show Lip Shine Review

I am now going to take a break from talking about my subscription boxes which I know I've been flooding my blog with lately to talk about some lip gloss or rather lip shine.

Annabelle Big Show Lip Shine comes in a large range of colors but today I am going to be talking about Dare and Rave. As you probably have realized i am a fan of the unconventional lipstick color. My favorites being purple lipstick and orange lipstick. So these glosses seemed perfect to me.

Rave above and Dare below.



L-R Ravin Raisin, Dare, Rave, 24 Carrot Gold


Rave is a bright orange lip gloss. Alone, it makes the lips have a slight tint of orange, however, I think it looks best over bright orange lipstick. I wore it over 969 "24 Carrot Gold"  Mega Last by Wet N Wild. While this lip shine looks great I do have some complaints about It. The taste of this lip shine is pretty neutral but the smell is reminiscent of vomit. It is neausating, to combat this I applied a nice smelling and tasting chapstick under the lipstick

Dare is a subtly glittery lip shine that leaves a slight purple tint on the lips, however it looks best over a plum purple lipstick, I used 916D "Ravin' Raisin" Mega Last by Wet N Wild. I have the same complaints as above but the look is sleek, doesn't feel sticky, and is very shiny. Aside from the smell I love this lip gloss.
