MOODMatcher Twist Stick Lip Color Review

Queen of the Girl Geeks

I received the MOODMatcher Twist Stick Lip Color in Green in my September Glossybox. The lip stick has a retail price of $10 and it comes in green, orange, pink, yellow, light blue and red. Every color produces a different shade when it reacts with your lips.

What’s to love?

This is a nice light weight lipstick and I love the packaging and design. I got the green shade which gives my lips a nice shiny pink shade. I also love that  it moisturizes my lips without feeling heavy or gloopy. It does say that it lasts 12 hours but mine faded a bit with food and water.

The MOODMatcher Lip Stick has Aloe Vera and Vitamin E.

Queen of the Girl Geeks

Last week I ordered a MAC 7-Piece Mystery Haul for $49. My only issue was that I would have liked more neutral lip shades. I got a light purple one that I’m not crazy about.

The Beauty Crop Lip Brulee Review

Queen of the Girl Geeks

I received The Beauty Crop Lip Brulee in Butterscotch in the GlossyBox Limited Edition Mother’s Day 2018 Box called Melting For You. I am a huge fan of The Beauty Crop brand and this product is a nice addition to my collection.

What’s to love?

The Beauty Crop Lip Brulee is a super creamy high shine lip cream. The Butterscotch shade is a light pink. According to The Beauty Crop it is a “Caramel Nude shade” but it does have pink in it.

The color is more of a translucent hue that a full color coverage. It also looks amazing when I layer it on other lipstick.

It smells like butter cream frosting and feels very moisturizing on my lips. It has Jojoba and Apricot Kernel Oil. I really love this formula!

Lip Brulee has no Parabens, Mineral Oils, Phthalates and it’s Vegan, gluten free and cruelty free.

Price: $12.95

ELF Gotta Glow Lip Tint Lipstick Review

Queen of the Girl Geeks

I received an ELF Gotta Glow Lip Tint Lipstick in my April Be You(tiful) Target Beauty Box and it’s amazing!

What’s to love?

First up the packaging is pretty and modern with a silver base and a clear tube.

The ELF Gotta Glow Lip Tint Lipstick comes in 3 shades — Perfect Pink, Perfect Peach and Perfect Berry. I have the Perfect Pink shade.

This innovative lip tint reacts with the chemistry of your lips to deliver a personalized, perfect shade of pink, berry, or peach!

I tried the Perfect Pink shade over my Urban Decay pink matte lipstick and it gave my lips a really nice bright pink shine. I also tried it on my hand and it turned a gorgeous pink shade. I think this is my new favorite lip product for Summer.

I really want the other 2 shades now!

Price: $6

What’s to love?

ISH Lip Statement Palette Review

Queen of the Girl Geeks

I received the ISH Lip Statement Palette in my Spring 2018 FabFitFun Box and it’s beautiful! ISH was founded in 2016. According to Forbes ISH is a direct-to-consumer makeup line that puts a fun and inspiring spin on ordinary cosmetics and encourages women of all ages to utter the brand’s message: #IMSMOKINGHOT .

IMG_3077

What’s to love?

The ISH Lip Statement Palette has “11 intensely pigmented shades and 1 tinted lip topper” and they have “rose extracts, shea butter, jojoba oil, and aloe vera for extra moisture“.

I am very impressed with this palette. Sometimes lip palettes are greasy or the product slips off. This is not the case with the ISH Lip Statement Palette. The shades are super easy to apply and stay in place. The color are very pigmented and you can blend colors.

I found the brush to be nice. It’s stiff and gives great control over the product.

They are Paraben free. Gluten free. Cruelty free.

Retail Price: $42

Too Faced La Creme Mystical Lipstick Fairy Tears Review

Queen of the Girl Geeks

The Too Faced La Creme Mystical Lipstick Fairy Tears lipstick was calling my name in Sephora this past weekend and I’m so glad I got this fairy wonder.

 

This mystical lipstick is an incredible shade-shifter that just screams rainbows and unicorns. It also changes the color depending on body temperature. They Fairy Tears gives me a gorgeous bright pink shade that sparkles.

It also comes in…

  • La Crème – Unicorn Tears 
  • La Crème – Mermaid Tears 
  • La Crème – Angel Tears 
  • La Crème – Fairy Tears

 

What’s to love?

The scent is described as a “signature sweet unicorn scent” and I would say that’s pretty accurate. It smells like sweet candy and that’s fine by me.

The lipstick itself is really high-quality cream with that appears yellow in the tube but it morphs into a bight pink on my lips. Fairy Tears has nice staying power and I got a lot of compliments — when I explain the magic of Fairy Tears everyone is in awe. The Holographic Purple/Lavender Mermaid Tears is next on my list.
