Review: Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Craft and Eye Shadow in Labyrinth

Craft Liquid Lipstick and Labyrinth Eye Shadow in Anastasia Beverly Hills packaging.

Hey all you lovely people! Plum colored lips and bedroom eyes is all a girl is wanting for the hot summer and these two products just might give it to you. For today's review I'm going to be talking about two items from the super hyped Anastasia Beverly Hills Summer collection. The collection is compiled of many new eye shadows, two new liquid lipsticks, and new water proof creme colors. 

Anastasia Beverly Hill's Liquid Lipstick in Craft and Eye Shadow in Labyrinth 

I decided to snatch up the Liquid Lipstick in Craft, a sparkly plum, which is $20.00 and the eye shadow single in Labyrinth, a smoldering deep orchid, which is $12.00. 

Berry eye shadows, shimmery or matte, make my feels swoon. If the shadow is berry on point (see what I did there)  I have serious love emotions. Labyrinth I didn't fall completely in love with like I thought I would. I expected a pigmented purple pink leaning towards the smokey side, and when I swatched the color it was a cute faint shimmery red pink. To get the color intensity that I saw in the pan I had to really layer the shadow. I do want to see what the shadow has to offer over a primer and think it will perform better with one. So once I try that I'll post the picture and  add that information to my review.

The product was a tad bit powdery but when layered it had decent staying power. Sometimes Anastasia shadows can be a hit or a miss and I am kind of disappointed with the shadow.

I adore a berry plumy lip and I find them to be the most sexy of all the lips colors which is why I had to make Craft mine (also its named after my childhood fave witch movie). The formula is creamy and extremely pigmented. The swatch on my wrist in the photo is done with a light hand and the product is brilliant, beautiful, smooth, and there was no tugging at all during application.

This lipstick makes me want to do hair flips and pouty lips for days. Craft is very WOC friendly and it was more of a deep raspberry color on my lips but looked beautiful on my golden brown complexion. 

What I love most about the formula of these lipsticks is that they're very blendable and you can mix them to create beautiful custom shades.

Please remember that you have to moisturize your lips before applying any lipstick especially MATTE liquid lipsticks or your lips will feel like sandpaper, beautiful looking sandpaper.

So all in all I love the lipstick its universally color friendly and you get a decent amount of product for the $20 bucks. If you are into these tones this lipstick is definitely worthy of being added to your vanity.

Also please see my separate post regarding ABH shipping....because that's another story that I didn't want to over shadow the review with.

So did you get any products from the ABH summer collection? Have you tried any of their liquid lipsticks or shadows? If so, what's your fave? Comment below :) 

Review: Tony Moly Bbo Bbo Lip Balm in Honey

Tony Moly Bbo Bbo Lip Blam in Honey

Morning beautiful! Today I will be reviewing my current favorite lip balm that has become a LIFE staple for me, the Tony Moly Bbo Bbo Lip Balm in Honey. Tony Moly is a beauty brand that is based out of Korea, and Sephora has just recently started to carry some of their products. The packaging of their items is super cute and brings a fun kawaii vibe.

The packaging for the balm, not the product, is a limited edition metallic lip shaped case. According to the website the lip balm is infused with honey extracts that nourish and hydrates for kissable lips. The balm is priced at $9 dollars which makes it a lower end priced balm by Sephora standards, and you get .26 ounces worth of product. 

I suffer from dry lips and being someone that enjoys a gorgeous matte lip, that's not a good thing. Bbo Bbo means "kiss kiss" in Korean and this lip balm is supposedly a favorite among Korean pop stars, which was more than enough to convince me to give it a try.

I have to say I am really in love with the lip Balm. The consistency is not too heavy but thick enough to coat lips in a single swipe. The smell  of the balm has a hint of honey sweetness that comes through and the petroleum scent isn't too overpowering. The formula is extremely hydrating and non sticky or creamy and lasted on my lips for 2 hours. My lips were baby bottom soft to the touch and gorgeous to look at. When I did apply lipstick it adhered beautifully. 

The only con I have regarding the Bbo Bbo Lip balm is the amount of product you receive for what you're paying. Rosebud Perfume Co. Strawberry Lip Balm is $7.00 and you get .8 ounces worth of product. That means an ounce of Strawberry Lip Balm will run you $8.75 where the Bbo Bbo Lip Balm will cost you roughly $34.61 an ounce. So yeah...wow...hurts to think about lol. With that my strawberry balm from Rosebud Perfume Co. is the balm I reach for when I take my lipstick breaks and my Bbo Bbo Lip Balm I reach for when I wear makeup. 

I do recommend the product if the price per ounce doesn't bother you. The formula is amazing, it applies very well, and your lips will feel and look heavenly. If you are looking to purchase the product here is the link:http://www.sephora.com/tony-moly-bbo-bbo-lip-balm-P388524?skuId=1649839&icid2=_P388524_image . 

The product also comes in Blueberry, which I really look forward to trying.

I also picked up some of Tony Moly's I'm Real sheet mask and look forward to reviewing that and more Korean beauty products for you guise in the future.

So will you be trying out the Bbo Bbo lip balm? Any balms you are liking now that you'd recommend? Let me know in the comments below.
