NYX Pump It Up Lip Plumper ($6) Boost your lips to its fullest shape and size with our Pump it Up Lip Plumper. Our Pump it Up Lip Plumpers come in 5 assorted colors and each shade acknowledges well known sensual celebrity lips such as Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johansson, along with plenty other desirable famous vixens. With one swipe of the Pump it Up Lip Pumper, your lips begin to tingle and the transformation from thin to full will occur instantly!
My Thoughts:
NYX’s Pump It Up Lip Plumper is a lip plumping lip gloss. One swipe of the lip gloss, and it’s hello Angelina Jolie lips! You immediately feel a tingling sensation upon application. The tingling doesn’t bother me. However, I have a feeling if you’re sensitive to these types of products, it’ll feel more like a burning sensation. The cinnamon oil is what causes the tingling and gives a cinnamon flavor to the glosses. I found the glosses to look better when layered over a lip color than if you were to wear it alone. The glosses can be either too sheer or frosty if worn alone. They also have shimmer; some more than others. Out of the 3 NYX Pump It Up Lip Plumpers I tried (Jessica, Lindsay, and Lisa), Jessica was my favorite. Jessica gave a nude lip color with a bit of shimmer. Lindsay wasn’t a favorite of mine because it was too frosty for my taste. Also, it was too much a cool-tone for me. Lisa was like a clear gloss with shimmer. Overall, I really liked NYX’s Pump It Up Lip Plumpers. The shades are all very pretty, and the plumping effect wasn’t bothersome.

Revlon Luxurious Color Perle Eye Shadow ($4.99)
My Thoughts:
045 Black Galaxy -a sparkly grayish, black shade
055 Sunlit Sparkle – a sparkly cream shade
I noticed instead of having a shimmery, perle finish, the shadows had a matte finish with sparkles. I’m not sure I’m a fan of that. In fact, I don’t think I’m a fan of these shadows at all. I’m not sure what I was expecting. I do know I didn’t want to be bombarded with sparkles.

Revlon Luxurious Color Matte Eye Shadow ($4.99)
My Thoughts:
001 Vintage Lace -a matte highlight shade with a tinge of yellow
002 Peach Sorbet – a matte highlight shade with a tinge of pink
009 Rich Sable – a matte chocolate brown shade
Overall, I felt the eye shadows were rather chalky and weren’t as pigmented as I had hoped they would be. Since they were chalky, the staying power wasn’t all that great. However, the eye shadows are amazingly soft and go on so smooth.

Revlon Luxurious Color Satin Eye Shadow in 010 Polished Bronze ($3.99)
My Thoughts:
Revlon’s Luxurious Color Satin Eye Shadow in 010 Polished Bronze is one of my favorite brown shades to use. It’s gorgeous! The shadow goes on so smooth and blends so easily. There’s a slight shimmer, but it’s quite pigmented. Paired with an eyeshadow primer, the Revlon Luxurious Color Satin Eye Shadow lasted for hours and didn’t crease. It is totally worth it. It’s even better when it’s on sale!

NYX Lipliner Pencil ($3.50) Slim, trim but never prim, our lip pencils come in 60 dashing shades—from auburn to orange and traffic-stopping red. The buttery, long-wearing lip liner formula goes on easily and resists bleeding. Available in 60 shades.
My Thoughts:
836 Bloom -a bold fuchsia shade. I love to pair this up with a bold pink lipstick/gloss to make the color pop even more.
857 Nude Beige -a medium tan shade that I like to use for a nude or natural lip color.
858 Nude Pink -a light pink nude shade
860 Peekaboo Neutral – a nude shade with a hint of pink. This is my go to lip liner.
Overall, I wish the NYX Slim Lip Pencils were creamier. I don’t like it when lip products are on the dry side because it tends to tug on your lips. To be clear, it doesn’t dry out your lips. The texture just isn’t creamy. However, I don’t have to worry about the color fading because it is quite long lasting! I would most definitely repurchase since it’s so affordable and there are so many shades to choose from!
