KYLIE COSMETICS HIGH GLOSS // REVIEW

-


Kylie Cosmetics makes some of my all-time favorite lip products, so I was very excited to try out the new High Glosses. The High Glosses retail for $16 each and come in 14 shades on the website. I have 3 of the shades, "My Moon and Stars", "Lost Angel" and "Oh You Fancy?".


(Left to right) "Oh You Fancy?" is described as a sheer silver with champagne pearl - "Lost Angel" is a baby pink with pink and gold shimmer - "My Moon and Stars" is a warm pink with multidimensional glitter.

On the Kylie Cosmetics website, it seems that each shade has a distinct color difference, but in person they look nearly identical on the lips. They are marketed as sheer glosses, but the photos on her website can be a little bit deceptive. I bought 3 shades thinking that they would look different on the lips, but the only major difference between them is the shade of glitter in them. There is no base pigment, so they are all essentially clear glosses with a slight tint of sparkle. If you're planning on buying this product, I would recommend just getting one shade that you're drawn to on the website, because otherwise they're basically the same.

Other than the lack of shade differences, I really love the formula of these glosses. It is a thicker consistency, but it doesn't feel sticky at all. It also feels very moisturizing on the lips, even after it's worn off.


Since there isn't much pigment to these glosses, they are the perfect toppers to any lipstick to give it a glossy finish. I personally love to put it on top of a lip liner or my favorite matte liquid lipsticks from Kylie Cosmetics. The gloss blends well with lipsticks and doesn't make the product separate on your lips in the way some lip glosses can. 



The overall packaging is very minimalistic, but also very distinctive to the brand. I love the millennial pink packaging that Kylie Cosmetics has been using for their newer releases over the past few months. I also love the large applicator, it makes it so easy to apply in just one swipe. The size of it is very reminiscent of the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb applicators.

One of the only downsides to this product is that it doesn't seem like there's much product in the tube. Even though it apparently has the same amount - or even more, depending on the shade - as all of her other glosses on her website in the original packaging. After only a couple of uses, it looks like a third of the product is already gone. I have tried her other glosses and it doesn't look like the tube is empty in the way these do. It could be the shape of the tube, or the large size of the applicator affecting the amount of product that could fit, or maybe its just the way it settles - either way, I don't really understand why that happens, but I wanted to point that out before you purchase these. 

Like I mentioned earlier, Kylie Cosmetics makes some of my all time favorite lip products and everything I've tried from the brand has been so high quality and definitely worth the price. If you're looking for a sheer and ultra glossy lip gloss, then I fully recommend checking out these High Glosses. However if you prefer a more pigmented lip gloss, I would recommend checking out the other lip glosses from the brand. In the future I'll do another post comparing all of the Kylie Cosmetics lip product formulas, since there's so many to choose from now!

ARIANA GRANDE GOD IS A WOMAN FRAGRANCE REVIEW

-
Image
When all is said and done, you'll believe God is a Woman!  I absolutely love all of the  fragrances   Ariana Grande  has released over the years, so when I found out that she was coming out with another I was so excited! Her song " God is a Woman " is also so iconic and one of my all-time favorites, so that made me look forward to it even more. I have been using it consistently for several months so I will able to give the most in-depth review I possibly can of this product. In the United States , God is a Woman  is sold exclusively at Ulta in three sizes; 1 oz for $45, 1.7 oz for $55, and 3.4 oz for $65. A travel size bottle is also available for $24. This pricing is consistent throughout the rest of Ariana's fragrances, so if you were looking to purchase another scent this is the range to expect. It is also available internationally at select retailers. God is a Woman  is cruelty free, 100% vegan and made with clean ingredients that are 91% naturally der...

SAFIYA NYGAARD x COLOURPOP COLLECTION REVIEW 🦇♥

-
Image
For my first post of  the new year, I wanted to share my thoughts on one of my favorite makeup releases, the Safiya Nygaard x Colourpop collection ! Safiya is one of my favorite YouTubers and Colourpop is my favorite makeup brand, so this is a really exciting collaboration!  Safiya consistently makes a variety of really high quality and interesting videos that mainly focus on beauty and fashion. I admire how much time and research she puts into what she does, all of the work that is put into these videos really shows in the finished product. If you haven't watched her channel before, I really can't recommend it enough!  In August 2017, she started a series called " bad makeup science ", which is the basis of this new Colourpop lipstick collection. There are 6 lipstick shades that correlate with a shade she created in one of her videos. You can check out the playlist of videos that inspired her collection here . I recently re-watched the whole series again...

BILLIE EILISH HAPPIER THAN EVER // ALBUM REVIEW

-
Image
Billie Eilish's sophomore release is finally here and I'm happier than ever about it! In some ways, the album is quite a departure from her debut, but in the best way possible. When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?  set the stage for what this decade in music is going to be because it was truly unlike any other modern release in recent memory, one whose success and impact will likely never be fully replicated again. She has never tried to be anyone other than herself, which makes her journey of monumental success at such a young age so much more inspiring.  With that being said, the idea of a follow-up release must have come with a lot of pressure to make something just as good, if not better, than the last one. Happier Than Ever is a chronicle of the events that followed her meteoric rise to fame since 2019, from her perspective. There has always been so much talk in the media about the way she dresses, her body, her relationships, whether or not she "deserves" a...

HIT ME HARD AND SOFT (isolated vocals) by Billie Eilish // 2024 Record Store Day Exclusive Vinyl

-
Image
Happy Record Store Day! One of my most anticipated releases for the Black Friday drop this year was a special version of Billie Eilish 's incredible album HIT ME HARD AND SOFT , which features only her isolated vocals. You can only slightly hear parts of the instrumentals in the background because she recorded the songs without headphones, but this variant of the album puts a major emphasis on only her gorgeous vocals. It's a really cool concept, it almost sounds like you're in the studio with her hearing it recorded live.  There is so much depth to her vocal comps with all of the hidden vocals and ad libs that are hidden underneath the production. There are so many small details that otherwise get buried in each song that now get the chance to fully shine. Billie and Finneas ' creative process is so fascinating, and this record give a glimpse into the way all of these songs came together. An album like HIT ME HARD AND SOFT  is meticulously produced and every layer is s...

My Thoughts on the Gigi Hadid x Maybelline Collection

-
Image
credit :  twitter.com/gigihadid Gigi Hadid has been the face of Maybelline for about 2 years and has been apart of several campaigns for the brand. I was really excited when I initially heard that Gigi and Maybelline collaborated on a full collection. I assumed that I would be able to recreate Gigi's makeup looks for less, but that just isn't the case. Today, I'm going to be giving my opinions on this collection to help you further determine if you should spend your money on it. The biggest gripe I have with this collection is that it is far too overpriced for Maybelline products. I have been noticing that some drugstore brands have been increasing the price of their new products, but I don't understand why since many times the brands aren't doing anything different to justify the large increase in the price. Maybelline does make some of my favorite products, especially when it comes to concealer and mascara, but they have also made really poor quality ...
