Trucco Duo Lip Liner Swatches

Here's some lip swatches!

Remember the Trucco Duo liner I received in last month's LuxeBox? Well, I thought i'd show you guys what it looked like when actually applied on :) I dont wear lip liner often, especially colors like these, but i kind of really like how it turned out. I now have a new LOVE with purple lip colors! <3



and here are the lip swatches! first up, the brown shade
(note: these are just the lip liner applied lightly all over the lip)




and then the purple shade.. the one that i am absolutely IN LOVE with :) its a bit over the top, but if applied sheerer, this is so gorgeous and definitely wearable :)





The purple seems a bit dark and a tad "gothic" but i really love the shade! When applied on top of my pink lips, it bordered magenta and was just lovely! Im really really glad i received this lip liner duo in my Luxebox, because without it, i wouldnt fall in love with this lovely purple lip color! what do you guys think?

Bourjois Ombre Stretch

A Shimmery Peachy Pink

Hi everyone! I'm finally going to start going through all the products i bought in hong kong! I've reviewed some already, but trust me, theres a TON more to be reviewed! So today, lets take a look at Bourjois Ombre Stretch. The shade i purchased was 06 Rose.

Slim Packaging

mirror and small brush included

I quite like the packaging! Its slim and compact and surprisingly includes both a mirror and a brush! It is very sturdy and there definitely wont be any accidents of this opening up in your makeup bag :) lets take a look at the swatches!





The color is gorgeous! Its a shimmery peachy pink, one that is very subtle, but also one with a gorgeous sheen. I have been using this as a wash of color on my lids and it helps brighten up my eyes :) I also like using this sometimes along my crease because its slightly darker than my skintone so it adds a tiny bit of definition to my eyes :)

First the goooood :)
  • The product itself is very smooth and easy to apply. 
  • You dont need to pile on a lot in order for the color to show. 
  • No creasing occurs and fading is minimal
  • There are no crazy chunks of glitter (no fall out!), but instead, there is a overall pretty sheen. 
  • The packaging is slim and compact, and matches the color of the shadow
then the not so good..
  • Bourjois is not a readily available brand
  • For a drugstore brand, this can get a bit pricey costing around $12-15 CAD
  • The color can be a bit sheer, but you can definitely build up

Overall, I am still really happy i purchased this :) The shade is beautiful and since i dont wear many dark/bright colors on my lids, i like the subtlety of this shade to add some dimension to my eyes :) What do you guys think? Have you tried this before? Let me know! :)
