Sash Cosmetics Luminous Lipstick Review

I received these beautiful lipsticks a few weeks ago from Sash Cosmetics and have been wearing them a lot so I could try them out properly for you guys. Keep scrolling for swatches and a review!

The brand 

Sash Cosmetics are a fairly new brand and I only heard about them a little while ago.
They are an Australian owned company and currently have a range of 12 luminous lipsticks to choose from which are all very wearable with something for every skin colour and tone. Sash Cosmetics lipsticks are also cruelty and paraben free!

Packaging

First things first, lets talk about the packaging because we all love some pretty packaging! The lipsticks come in a sleek, simple, black case with gold details. The best part is that there is a gold button on top of the packaging that you push down and the lipstick pops out the bottom! I don't remember seeing lipstick packaging like this before and it's such a cool idea. Also, if you you have little ones like I do, who love to 'share' your lipstick with you, this packaging stumps them for a few minutes which buys you some time to rescue you favourite lippy. 

Formula & Application

The formula is a nice matte finish, which is consistent throughout the six lipsticks. They are creamy and easy to apply with the classic bullet shape. All the shades I received are nicely pigmented, the only thing I noticed was with some of the shades they are actually lighter when applied than the shade they appear to be in the bullet, which isn't a big deal just look at lip swatches to make sure it's the colour you're after. Apart from that these lipsticks are amazing and are super comfortable to wear, the shade Chit Chat has been a staple in my bag. The luminous lipsticks are long wearing, moisturising ( they have coconut oil as an ingredient ) and just super luxurious feeling and are pretty affordable for $16.95 each.

Scent

The Sash lipsticks have delicate vanilla scent, nothing over bearing. If you don't like strong fragrances these are the way to go.

Shade names from top to bottom are-
Kiss It Better, Light It Up, Insomnia, Instigator, Chit Chat and Lost In Lust.

Lost In Lust

Lost in lust is a pale, cool toned pink. Perfect for very fair skin tones.

Chit Chat

Chit Chat is a perfect neutral nude colour for light to medium skin tones.

Instigator
Sorry about the awful application!

Instigator is a really pretty and wearable mid toned berry shade.

Insomnia

Insomnia is a cool toned brown mauve colour but is still warm enough to be a wearable colour.

Light It Up

Light it up is a beautiful orange red which makes your teeth look nice and white.

Kiss It Better

Kiss it better, is a lovely deep red brown shade which would look amazing on deep skin tones.



What shade would you rock? You can purchase the luminous lipsticks straight from the Sash Cosmetics website.

Rimmel London MAGNIF'EYES double ended shadow & liner review and quick eye look!

Hey guys!

Welcome back or if you haven't visited my blog before thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy!

Today I am reviewing two of the newly released Magnif'eyes shadow and liners by Rimmel as well as giving you a step by step easy eye look you can achieve using these handy little guys.

REVIEW

First off, their are 4 colours to choose from. I received the colours 'Kissed By Rose Gold' which has a dark brown Kohl Kajal eyeliner with a small amount of shimmer in it on one end and a beautiful metallic rose gold eye shadow on the other and the other colour is 'Dark Side Of Blue' which has a pretty electric blue on the liner side, which is matte and a steel grey with a little bit of fine shimmer through it (see swatch photos.)
There is also a black and grey and a bronze and gold option.

Two-in-one products like the Magnif'eyes are a great thing to have in your makeup bag for those days you don't want to use a heap of different products and brushes to achieve a great eye look or if you are just starting out with makeup, because these are a cream formula you can just blend them out using your fingers with minimal time and effort involved.

Eye shadow side of the pencils

These have some serious staying power! I wore them for 8 hours+ and had no creasing and only slight fading. If you are looking for a product to create a really quick look that lasts you all through the day I highly recommend you go swatch these at Priceline!
I was really surprised with how creamy and pigmented these are, they glide on really smoothly and don't tug on your skin but also aren't so soft that they will break while using them.
The only downside I see with these is because they are designed to be long wearing you do have to work with them quite quickly because once they set, they don't budge! So just keep that in mind while using them and do one eye at a time then blend straight away and you won't have any issues.

RRP: $16.95

Liner side

 

Swatches-
The two left swatches are 'Dark Side Of Blue' and two on the right are 'Kissed By Rose Gold'.

STEP BY STEP EYE LOOK

I thought I would include a 'pictorial' for an easy eye look using my favourite colour out of the two 'Kissed By Rose Gold' just to give you an idea on how you can use the Magnif'eyes shadow & liners.

STEP 1:

I applied some concealer on my eyelids firstly and set it powder to get rid of any discolouration and act as a base for the shadow then I applied the rose gold shade all over my lid almost up to my crease.

STEP 2:

I used a fluffy crease brush to soften and blend out the shadow up into my crease, you can just use your finger to gently smudge out the edges if you wanted.

 

 STEP 3:

I also applied some of the rose gold colour along my lower lash line and blended it out.

STEP 4:

Using the dark brown liner side of pencil I lined my upper lash line and smudged it out using a flat shader brush.

STEP 5:

You could leave it at just lining the lash line but I wanted to test out how well you can do a wing using the liner. I found it really easy to use for a winged eye as the liner is quite long you can lay it flat against your eye and it helps create the line for you. I smudged out the liner for a softer look.

STEP 6:

Lastly I used the rose gold to line my bottom water line and the dark brown colour on my upper water line and then added some mascara.

Here is the finished look. I used a dark red, matte lipstick by Klara Cosmetics in 'Vintage Burgandy' to finish it off and give it more of an Autumnal vibe, but you could match it with any lip colour you like!

I hope you guys enjoyed this post and found it helpful.

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to Glossy Situations! Thank you for checking out my new blog.
 I am so excited to finally be blogging! I will be posting every second Monday evening.

Glossy Situations will mostly be about makeup and beauty with the occasional lifestyle and fashion posts here and there. 
If you are looking to purchase some eyeshadows from Makeup Geek I hope this will be helpful to you and that you will enjoy my first blog post!

I have had my eyes on these eyeshadows for so long and I am so excited to have finally ordered some! I know there have been loads of people raving about Makeup Geek eyeshadows  and sometimes you don't know if a product is just being hyped up or if it's actually amazing but in this case they're actually amazing. 

Oh, the excitement!

Postage and Delivery 

If you live in Australia like I do, you know shipping from America can be pricey and take up to a couple of months to then get your order. After I placed my order I received a confirmation email straight away and another email the next business day with my United States Postal Service tracking number. I paid $45 for priority International mail which took 10 days to arrive.

Prices

The eyeshadow pans that I purchased are $5.99 each in US$ which is cheap considering how amazing the quality is.
Extra Large Black Z Palette $28.00 this fits 35 Makeup Geek eyeshadows.
Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencils $4.99 each
Red Cherry Lashes $2.50 a pair
Ardell lashes $3.99

Now onto the fun stuff...
Unboxing and taking photos!

My 35 new babies

My Order

I ordered 35 Makeup Geek eyeshadows in pans, an extra large Z.Palette, three sets of Red Cherry eyelashes, ( two #47 & one #1 ) two sets of Ardell Demi Wispies and two Jumbo Eye Pencils in Milk. 

It was all packed up nice and compact with bubble wrap and styrofoam. 

You also get a cute handwritten note by the person who packed your order which is nice.

Swatches and Close Ups

Top to Bottom
White Lies, Ice Queen, Vanilla Bean and Shimma Shimma

Vanilla Bean works so well in an everyday look. It is a perfect subtle brow and inner corner highlight.

 Bling, Purely Naked, Hipster and Barcelona Beach

I love the colour Bling, it is so pigmented and shimmery. It looks great in the center of the lid to make your eyes pop.

Taupe Notch, Frappe, Brown Sugar and Country Girl

Frappe is the perfect mid toned warm brown.

Bada Bing, Burlesque, Mocha and Last Dance

 I think Burlesque is my favourite out of all the shadows I ordered. It is just the perfect coppery plum shade. If you have blue or green eyes it just makes them look amazing!

I'm not the biggest fan of pink and reddish eyeshadows but I am excited to try these and I love the look of Marlena and Mango Tango.

How amazing does Chickadee and Gold Digger look?! I will be making some pictorials soon with these for you guys!

Peacock, Poison Ivy and Shark Bait

I love the colour Shark Bait (ohh ha ha)

Add caption

I'm so in love with all these gorgeous blues! Especially Mermaid and Neptune.

The perfect match! Unexpected in the crease and Prom Night on the lid.

Galaxy, Graphite and Corrupt

I can't believe how crazy pigmented these colours are! Add in some 'White Lies' as a highlight and you have the perfect dramatic smokey eye.

Marlena (who started Makeup Geek) did such an amazing job on these I'm pretty sure I will have to make another order soon for some of the beautiful blushes and new foiled eyeshadows which are coming out soon!

Thank you so much for reading guys!
