Another Nudestix Set!

Hello, class! While I’m spending the day back at school, I wanted to give you a heads up on a fantastic deal from Nudestix. As you know, I am a huge fan of their previous “box,” the Babeboss Favorites Box. The new box, technically the Nude(art)ist Box Creator’s Palette, is filled with shades developed by “leading beauty and lifestyle social media gurus.” Let’s talk about the Nudestix Creator’s Palette.

Nudestix Creator’s Palette

The Nudestix Creator’s Palette features six new magnetic matte pencils. I strongly urge you to check out my previous review of the magnetic matte lip color formula. For me, the colors in this collection lean more nude than the Babeboss Box, which had more pink and red tones.

As with other Nudestix products the Creator’s Palette pencils come in a lovely tin with a giant mirror.

And, of course, I would be remiss if I didn’t include swatches for you.

As you can see, the magnetic matte formula is opaque and creamy. That being said, this formula is incredible long lasting. And how about those shades from the Nudestix Creator’s Palette? Pretty, right?

I don’t have much else to say about the Nudestix Creator’s Palette because it really speaks for itself. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Hi again! Today I want to talk about one of my favorite sets that’s come out recently. This is the Nudestix Babeboss Faves Box, available at Sephora.  Let me give you the description of this amazing collection right from the website:

This limited-edition #BABEBOSS Faves Box features six coveted lip pencils formulas. Handpicked by Nudesitx Co-founders, Ally and Taylor Frankel along with Nudestix Babebosses; @ssssamanthaa, @iamkareno, @lynettecenee, @saythelees, and @cydbee, this kit is ideal for the #BABEBOSS who knows the power of a gorgeous lip look.

This box is loaded with these lip favorites:
Ally & Taylor Frankel – Lip + Cheek Cream in Sin: the perfect rose nude for an added pop
@ssssamanthaa – Gel Color Lip + Cheek Balm in Pulse: a glossy, nude that is ultra-moisturizing
@iamkareno – Intense Matte Lip + Cheek Color in Stiletto: a sexy, red-hot shade
@lynettecenee – Magnetic Matte Lip Color in Boho: a matte brown lip stain circa ‘60’s
@saythelees – Intense Matte Lip + Cheek Color in Purity: a soft matte, natural nude lip
@cydbee – Magnetic Matte Lip Color in Burgundy: a 60’s inspired rich matte corduroy

Since I’ve been having such a love affair with the Magnetic Matte lip, I thought it would be nice to get a few more colors and try more formulas, as well. Keep in mind that you are getting all six for $59, which is less than half the total value if you were to buy each product individually.

Ready for the swatches? Of course you are.

The Swatches

As you can see, and as I expected, all of the pencils are highly pigmented and creamy. Even the matte formulas glide on easily.

Sin, Pulse, and Stilleto are great for the summer. I’m looking forward to wearing Boho, Purity and Burgundy in the fall!

Have you tried any pencils from the Nudestix Babeboss Faves Box? Tell me in the comments, please!

Hello everyone! Here is a brief overview of some of my beauty favorites that I used last month!

First, let’s talk about the newest ColourPop craze – their powder shadows. These bad boys are no joke. At only $5 a piece, they compete with other well-known brands that sell magnetic pans. I got eight shades (because it was a free palette for every 4) and fit all 8 into the palette once I removed the insert.

My favorite shades are Paper Tiger and High Strung! You know I love my warm-toned shadows!

Next up, the new IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Compact. This is apparently the first solid serum foundation on the market. It provides a medium coverage, natural finish, and never feels heavy. I don’t think it will ever reach holy grail status for me, but I love it for everyday, easygoing looks.

I’ve also been loving the Make Up For Ever Star Lit Liquid – 2 Pink Beige. It’s the most amazing iridescent liquid. I like to pat it on top of whatever shadow I’m wearing to transform from human to unicorn.

Now, for the lipsticks. Nudestix, first. This new Magnetic Matte Lip Color is amazing. I especially love Greystone. I have more on that here.

Then we have the new Bobbi Brown Art Stick Liquid Lip. The shade Pink Heather is great for everyday wear. I like that it is creamy but it doesn’t wear away quickly like other none-matte products. Swatches are up here.

Well, there you have it! I’d love to hear about your last month’s favorites. Please comment a link to them!

Rose & Greystone

Hello, my friends. Today we are taking a quick look at a couple of shades of what I consider Nudestix’s best lip product. The Nudestix Magnetic Matte Lip Color comes in pencil form, like most of their other products, and is sent in a cute little Nudestix tin with a sharpener.

I’m going to steal the Nudestix Magnetic Matte Lip Color right from Sephora’s website:

What it is:
A multitasking, three-in-one, lip stain, lip color, and lip liner that glides on high performance, intense color in must-have, rich nude shades.

What it does:
These long-lasting, touch n’go makeup sticks create bold nude lip looks with kiss-proof color. Let Magnetic Matte Lip Color take your lip look from day to night with nine-hour wear so you can go matte all day long. This non-drying, waterproof matte lipstick applies smoothly and will not budge. Its innovative formula means that it’s non-feathering, and its intense pigment load provides maximum, smooth coverage to easily take any lip look from the office to the runway.

I tried two shades: Rose and Greystone. Rose is described as “mystic meets love”, which I believe is a reference to their lip and cheek pencils that are nude and pink, and Greystone as “greige.” Unlike many other intensely matte lipsticks, the Magnetic Matte Lip Color applies like the most luxurious cream. Within a few seconds of application, it dries down completely matte and budge-proof.

These lipsticks do feel very dry on the lips. That being said, I don’t find that my lips are actually dry afterwards. Additionally, there is a little bit of fade after eating greasy foods and this is noticeable especially with the darker color of Greystone. Still, this is one of my favorite lipstick shades ever.

Greystone

I highly recommend checking out the Nudestix Magnetic Matte Lip Color pencils either online, or next time you are in Sephora! I think I may need to try some more of the colors!

Well hello there, class. I am currently snowed-in, thanks to Winter Storm Jonas. I thought this would be an appropriate time to make some recommendations for products suited for this winter weather. Here are some of my cold weather favorites!

Let’s start with the pre-makeup routine. After cleansing, I love to apply the Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Liquid. This light serum locks in moisture all day and absorbs quickly, making it perfect for both morning and night. I use it daily.

A great foundation option is the It Cosmetics CC+ Veil Beauty Fluid Foundation. This is the first “cushion compact” I’ve tried and I very much enjoy the ease of application and light coverage. It contains moisturizing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, protecting the skin from the winter air.

For a light contour and/or bronzing, I like the Nudestix Bronzing Pencil in Golden Sugar and Earth. The dual-ended pencil has a matte shade and a more satin shade, making it perfect for both a light contour and faking a touch of sun in the winter. The pencil’s creaminess is perfect to fight the drying effects of the cold weather.

For rosy cheeks, I suggest Kevyn Aucoin The Creamy Glow in Patrice. This crimson shade looks a bit intimidating, I admit, but a couple of dabs on the cheek bones blended out with a beauty blender is the perfect winter flush. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite cheek products since I received it in my Beautylish Lucky Bag.

For a sheer, red lip I enjoy Lipstick Queen Medieval Lipstick. It is perfect if your lips are feeling a bit dry or chapped.

For very dry or chapped lips, go with the Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask. I find it to be incredibly soothing. And as an added bonus – it smells like cupcakes!

Well, now I’m off the clean up the mess I made when my hot chocolate boiled over! Please share your cold weather favorites in the comments!
