Jouer "Birchbox Pink" Moisturizing Lip Gloss Swatch + Review

 Summer may have already faded but that does NOT mean that I can't wear bright pink lips anymore! I got this product in my Brichbox quite a few months ago. If it looks miniature in the picture above that's because it is. This thing is smaller than my pinky finger! But it was a sample. I had been intrigued by the Jouer brand for some time before I actually received this in my box but I'd never bought anything because I didn't know where to see the products in person before purchasing and this stuff is pretty pricey. It'll cost you $20 to get a full size version of this. Yikes!

 I know that it is VERY pricey but I really do like this product. It is moisturizing and it actually has a lot of pigmentation for a lip gloss. It is nice to wear over bright fuchsia lip sticks but it is also really pretty on its own. Lately I've been wearing it over a nude lipstick like Revlon "Nude Attitude" and I've been getting a few compliments. Really nice. But do I think it's worth the money? As a college student...I can't seem to justify spending that much money on a lip gloss. That's lunch for two days. Or that's four books. I've been trying to cut back on spending. So I will pass on this product. It is lovely if you have the money but at the time I just don't. Maybe when I win the Lotto. You can purchase the color here exclusively at Birchbox!

The review part of this blog post is done but I wanted to give you guys a look at how TINY this lip gloss is. Here it is standing next to one of my MAC Dazzleglass Cremes. It looks itty bitty and kind of comical.

YSL Rouge Volupte #2 "Sensual Silk" Lipstick Swatch + Review

I semi-recently posted a glowing review of the YSL Rouge Volupte in #12 "Forbidden Burgundy". I love that product. It is easily one of my favorite lip products of all time. I got these two lipsticks at the same time and I wasn't quite as impressed with this one. I wish I liked it more but I don't think this is worth the money and I'll tell you why. 

It is a very pretty pinky nude color and I know that you probably won't believe it, looking at this swatch, but it is almost the exact same color as my skin. When I wear it full on I can look a bit dead. I like to wear a pink lip gloss on top of it to make it look a bit less zombie. Or I dab it one with my fingers and get a nice pinky nude flush of color. I picked this shade for the exact opposite reason that I picked #12 "Forbidden Burgundy". I wanted a color that I could wear everyday and now looking at it I wish I had chosen a different color. It is beautiful...but I don't think it is a color that is worth the $34 price tag.

I'm sure you could find a color like this at MAC or ever at the drugstore. There is nothing terribly unique about the color. But the formulation and the packaging make this product SO luxurious. Normally I'm not a big fan of scented lipsticks but I LOVE the scent of this lipstick. It's soft and sweet. I'm sorry, I'm not good at describing scents. And it is so soft--maybe even softer than "Forbidden Burgundy". It goes on so smooth on the lips. Gosh, it is heaven. The packaging is heavy and I think that the YSL packaging is the best packaging out of any brand. It is just fabulous. I'm not trying to say that it isn't a fantastic product--because it is--but I think that it all depends on what you want from a high-end lipstick. I wanted something that I couldn't find at the drugstore but if you want a lipstick that you could wear everyday, this is a fantastic choice. Give it a look. P.S. Happy Halloween!

Julep "Sofia" Swatch + Review

 I got this once in my Julep Maven boxes--I can't remember which--but I remembering being SO disappointed with this color when I first got it. I didn't think the color was very pretty and the super bold glitter wasn't my thing either. To top it all off, when I applied the polish it has the oddest finish. It isn't glossy at all. It has a more satin finish to it. It's weird and I don't like it. Once you put a top coat on it isn't a problem but I was just not impressed.

A few weeks ago I was feeling adventurous so I put this on my nails. Maybe I was being too judgmental. Maybe it was a really pretty color and I was just remembering it wrong. No. I had the same reaction as I did the first time. I didn't like it. And I was going downstairs to pick out another polish to wear because I'd decided to change my nails but then the coolest thing happened. It glowed in the dark. I don't know if it's supposed to do that but it literally glowed in the dark. I called my sister down and she was there to witness it. And as lame and as stupid as it sounds, the fact that it glows in the dark completely changed my mind.

I'm so fickle. I immediately fell in love. I decided not to change my nails because I wanted to show it to everyone else in my family. And the more I wore it the more I didn't hate it. The color was beginning to grow on me and the glitter wasn't as obnoxious as I'd once thought. I decided to wear it again today to celebrate Halloween and I suggest that you wear it as well. It is just so cool. I can't get enough. I guess it goes to show you that you shouldn't judge a nail polish until you check to see if it glows in the dark. Or something like that. Happy Halloween! Be safe!
