Maybelline SuperStay Ink Crayon Review and Lip Swatches

Not everyone is into the heavy matte long-wear texture of the original #Maybelline #Superstay Matte Inks, so the brand has recently launched their #SuperstayInkCrayon range, which is a more weightless, convenient and easy-to-use alternative for those who still want long-wear and high color payoff.

Can these measure up though? And what is the shade selection like in sunny Singapore? Watch to find out!

Shades swatched:

15 Lead The Way
20 Enjoy The View
25 Stay Exceptional
40 Laugh Louder
45 Hustle in Heels
50 Own Your Empire
55 Make It Happen
65 Settle For More

Pat McGrath Labs MOTHERSHIP VI Midnight Sun Review, Swatches, Eye Looks!

#PatMcGrath is a true artist and living legend in the beauty world - equal in status to visionaries like Kevyn Aucoin and Serge Lutens in the way she has shaped and driven trends in the fashion world for the past few decades.

Obviously she’s a huge makeup hero to me and I’ve fallen for quite a number of the Pat McGrath labs products in the past couple of years. However her stuff is pricey, so I don’t own as many as I would like to!

I was lucky enough to get hold of the latest #MothershipVI #MidnightSun palette recently (avail at Sephora in Singapore) and decided to have a go at creating two different looks to showcase the colors and textures, and also point out the pros and cons of the palette for those of you who are considering splashing out.

L'Oreal has extended the shade range in their #RougeSignature liquid lipstick line with the #ParisianSunset collection and since this is one of my favorite #liquidlipstick formulas I had to lip swatch the new shades for you.

NOTE: Shade selections differ by country and in Singapore there are only 5 out of the 8 or 9 Parisian Sunset shades I saw in other markets. I believe those of you in the USA have the largest range.

The shades I swatched are:

02:36 128 I Decide (bright medium pink)
04:16 129 I Lead (rosy medium tan)
05:19 130 I Amaze (rich orange brick)
06:26 131 I Captivate (deep prune purple)
09:13 132 I Radiate (vibrant coral)
