Styli-Style Part 3

 Today is the final installment of the three part review of the newly re-launched Styli-Style Cosmetic Brand. Today’s them is eyes. I have three different types of products to talk about today: eyeliner, mascara and eyeshadow sticks.

The first product I tried was the Line & Seal 24-Semi permanent eye liner in Black Glitter ($5.99)

 

While I am not a fan of glitter eyeliner as other one’s I have used irritate my eyes, I will say that this liner did not make my eyes red, had good pigmentation and stayed for a sufficient amount of time

 

 It def is better than a lot of other drug store brands and if the glitter liner gave good pigmentation I am sure the plain black one will give even better color!

The next thing that was reviewed was the Flat Eye Pencil-Bendable Eye liner ($5.99)

 

When I first saw this I thought it was eyeshadow since it was a brown color as I usually only use black for liner. The shape of this flat pencil is really cool.

 

 You can get every angle of your eye with it using it as a shadow and when used with a primer it can stay on fairly well. You could probably get some really good smokey one’s with the darker colors like black.

Also in their collection is the It’s a breeze cooling Gel Shadow stick in Star bright and Liliac Smack ($5.49)

 

 

I probably should have used a primer first but I couldn’t get as much pigment out of the purple one as I did with the yellow. The pencils are nice bc you can easy glide it along your entire eyelid but as I mentioned I wasn’t entirely happy with the color. Maybe the other darker pencils come out better.

And finally, the last product I got to try out was the Colorlash mascara in Blue and black ($6.99)

 

This mascara’s are good for lengthening more than they are for volume. The applicator is good and allows an even distribution of the mascara without giving clumps. I know I would like eventually see a volumizing mascara in perhaps a future collection. But overall, I did like the lengthening abilities and if you’re looking for natural looking eyes with length then this is def a mascara you can try out.

Overall, I enjoyed the liner (except the glitter), The liner pencil were really cool and I would probably use them as eyeshadow, wasn't really excited about the shadow stick's I tried as they didn't give too much color and would like the mascara even better if it was added volume to the lashes..but overall some of these are def better then drug store brands I have tried especially in the eye liner dept.

 

Products are starting to become available throughout the USA at Rite Aid, Harmon, Sears and select beauty supply stores.

Styli Style Face Products

I am back for part 2 of reviews of the newly relaunched Cosmetic Company, Styli Style. Today's theme is face products.

Something that is def starting to become popular in the cosmetics world is bronzer and blush papers that allow you to apply face product on your cheeks while also blotting away excess oil. Styli-Style has two types of blotting papers in their collection a Bronze & Blush. $3.99

To the left is the pink blush or Smitten while on the right is the bronzer or Radiant. I like the box as you slide this area out but wish that there was either a thin divider between each sheet or maybe that you picked it up upside down as I always got blush/bronzer when picking up a paper. 

Sorry that they are the wrong way and the pink blotting is on the right instead of the left but I did a quick swatch of both papers to show you how the colors come out on my skin tone. I briefly did a quick wipe across my arm and as you can see the color comes off pretty well. If you want a more dramatic look just simply keep wiping the color to achieve your desired look. I really liked the bronzer it was nice and looked well with my skin tone. I wish the blush had a little less glitter on it but other than thought the color was nice as well.

Now if blotting papers are not your thing you can use the blush sticks instead. There are 5 colors in the

Glide-on Blush Stick including Bittersweet and Peachy Keen $5.99.

\

Both glide on blush sticks are easy to use just simply twist the bottom to allow the blush to come up and what I do is make a line across my cheek bone starting from my the mid line outward and then I take my finger but you can also use a blush brush and in a circular motion move outward towards my hair.

Bittersweet is a brown/red color and peachy keen is a coral/pink color. I drew a quick line on my arm so the pigment is well and you have the option of either making it darker by applying more or lightening it by blotting it with paper. Either way you can get some great looks!

The last face product I will be talking about is the Cool & covered Aloe Concealer in Bisque $5.99

This cute little product looks like a big pill and twists to bring out a concealer.

Just simply draw a line on your under eye area or areas with large pores you want to cover and blend it in. I just love the size and shape of this product and can easily pop it into any makeup/work bag.

Overall, I love the sizes of all the face products. I think there great to take with you on the go for quick touch ups and think that each products gives pretty good pigment. And I didn't have an issue with the longevity of each product. Plus all of the products are very affordable.

Products are starting to become available throughout the USA at Rite Aid, Harmon, Sears and select beauty supply stores.

Above The Curve Nail Polish

Excited to show you a new collection from an Indie polish group I am new to called Above the curve nail polish. The first thing that sets apart this polish brand from others is their mission to aide in the awareness of Shriner's Hospital for Children and Scoliosis. As a cell and molecular biologist who did research on understanding early congenital disorders such as congenital scoliosis I think it is absolutely amazing that they donate $1 of every bottle sold to Shriner's Hospital for Children. ATC has released 3 collection sin the last few weeks including: the Narnia inspired collection, Holiday Collection and the Fallen Angel Collection which I will be reviewing today. Consistenting of 4 polishes the Fallen angel contains mostly hologrpahic polishes followed by one regular polish.

Bottle shots of the Fallen Angel collection in Arch Angel, Risen Angel, Divine Angel and Fallen Angel. All swatches were done with 3 coats to ensure full coverage followed by a top coat.

Arch angel is a soft lilac polish with iridescent glitter in it . This polish is the only one in the collection that isn't holographic. Out of all the polishes I found this one to be a little bit thicker than the others and it wouldn't dry as smooth as uniform as I would have liked but I really really liked the color. I think if it was a little more thinner it would be even better. 

Risen Angel is my favorite of the group. It is a plum violet color with beautiful holographic shimmer to it. The polish went on smooth and uniform dried quickly.

Divine Angel is a green blue color. I feel like the image doesn't give the polish the true beauty it is in person. I am by all means not a blue nail polish lover and I really liked how well it went my skin tone.

Fallen angel which I love the name and think it is perfect for this color. A black pigment with holographic color that also is a favorite of the black holographic polishes I have seen.

I just wanted to show a side nail shot of Risen angel polish to show you the great coverage the polishes give off.

Overall, I liked the holographic polishes, they went on great and dried fast. I really wish the Arch angel was a little bit thinner bc I love the color and especially like how well it looks on my skin tone.  

Looking for Christmas gifts for that nail polish loving sister, mother, friend, family member. Check out all the collections on any of the Above the Curve Nail Polish Pages:

Also don't forget that $1 of every polish you get is donated to the Shriner's Hospital for Children

Styli Style Cosmetic Company Re-Launch

Ahhh it feels amazing to be back to full time blogging. First off I would like to say thank you for sticking around with me through this whole semester. I am so excited to get back to reviewing and finding some new and amazing beauty products for you all.

A few weeks ago an email from a cosmetic brand called Styli-style who was around in 2001 then kind of went of the radar for a little while but is not back and wants to relaunch their brand. So when I got asked to try out a bunch of there new products I was very happy to be apart of it! I decided to break up reviews into a few days bc I didn't want to overwhelm you guys with a bunch of things so todays theme is: Lips!!

I am so excited not only introduce your to an essentialyl new brand but even more excited to try out new products that not many have tried out so let's do this!!

Today I got three different lip products to talk about: Give me glossy lipstick,  The Glitter Punch 24-Gel Lip stain,and there Lip paint

Lipstick ($5.99) and Glitter Lip stain ($6.49)

Lip paint ($5.99)

At the top is the Give me Lip Glossy Lipstick Pencil in Frolicking 40's. Kind of like a big crayon this lipstick pencil is easy to use just apply it to your lips and your done

At the bottom is the Glitter Punch 24-Gel Lip Stain in Show Stopper this is a twisty tube of lipstain that you just rub on your lips with a brush.

I apologize that these are opposite of the other pictures but the glitter lip stain in Show Stopper is to the left. I am not a fan of glitter but I do like the pigmentation. It has a pretty good consistency not to thick or thin. I would probably use it minus the glitter. The right swatch shows the lipstick pencil in Frolicking 40's which is a deep maroon red color. Kind of reminds me of a vampire lol.

It actually looked really nice on me. I thought it was going to be really dark but it was just right. The pencil glides on smoothly and the color stays for a while. Def pleased with this one.

The last lip product I got to try was the Lip Paint in City Slicker. It has a little paint brush to apply the gloss.

City Slicker is a red red gloss with pretty good shine. I def had to try it on!

The lip paint is def my favorite of the three I got to try. Love the shine and color it gave! I can't wait to wear this on my going out looks!

Overall, I am quite pleased with this products. While I didn't really care for the glitter lip stain, I def would use the lip pencil and very much will be using my lip paint. Can't wait to check out what other colors they have.

Products are starting to become available throughout the USA at Rite Aid, Harmon, Sears and select beauty supply stores. Check out Styli-style’s Web Site to look for the nearest supplier or to purchase online. I don't know about you but I can't wait to see this company grow and see what kind of products they come up with in the future!!

Somme Institute MDT5 Kit

The Somme Institute consists of Dermotologist and researchers with one goal in mind = to make perfect skin. Conducting several clinical trials over 10 years they have came up with the MDT5, a five product line that aims to reduce lines and wrinkles, repair sun damage, while treating acne and rosacea to diminish dark spots.

The MDT5 kit comes with 5 products that you must use in a particular order: nourishing cleanser, transport pads, serum, A-bomb, and the Double defense

Nourishing cleanser- This cleanser is a different consistency then normal foam cleanser. More like lotion, the one offered in this kit can be used for all skin types and most skin conditions.

Transport pads- These thin little cotton pads stung a little bit for the first few days of starting the treatment. Containing vitamins, the transport pads are designed to help improve discoloration, tone and texture in your skin by unclogging pores.

Serum- Reduces premature aging while also smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by containing stabilized vitamin C.

A Bomb- is a lightweight cream used to help often the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while it helps smoothen skin.

Double defense- Containing SPF 30 this lotion protects the skin from sun damage, fine lines, and wrinkles while it’s also good for improving skin discoloration for rosacea.

Here I am Day 0 of using the product

Notice the oily nose and forehead. It's usually alot worse but I wiped it down a little but bc I didn't want to show you that nastiness. Also not that ugly little pimple between my eyebrows!

Week 1- I did break out a little bit but they said that is normal. Look at that nasty pimple on the side of my nose. It was a lot worse but I let it get a bit better before I took this.

Week 3- I let that pimple go away and my face started looking better.

Week 4- Today. I put no face makeup on though I have some blush on. My oil has def gone down a bunch. I can't say that much about acne as I didn't have it bad to begin with but it helped maintain and didn't irritate my skin. My nose also has decreased oil as well.

Overall, I would recommend anyone with acne or rosacea to try this product out. I am also happy that it helped with my oily face. Also, if you are on the run always like me then you will have a difficult time keeeping up with this. Its five steps and its really easy to forget to use all the products. So my final thought is neutral I can't say I really need it but I also am happy with the results and can't say it didn't help a little.

Pop Beauty Am/Pm Eyeshadows

Here is another thing I got in this month's Bloom.com Ambassador box.

The Pop Beauty Am to Pm kit. These shadow quads come equipped with four shades perfect for the Am or Pm.

Something that was really cute was on the back of each quad was a mirror which is pretty sweet! I can't tell you how many time I couldn't find a mirror and had to use my phone. But with this I can just flip my shadow over and I got me a mirror.

The Am quad is perfect for wearing makeup to work and professional places during the day. It comes with a darker brown, peachy color, light yellow and nude color at the bottom.

For my Am look. I used the bottom nude color underneath my eyebrows to give it a shine. Then I used the peachy color on my entire eyelid. The light yellow was used to just lightly touch my inner eyebrows and then the dark shadow was used across my outer crease line to blend everything together.

Here is my finalized Am look with a coral lipstick from Rimmell London's Kate Moss collection.

The Pm colors are def for the evening, something you wouldn't wear for work. I know lots of people are scared when they see blue colors I def love a makeup challenge. This quade includes a light sky blue, a darker turquoise blue, a white and a black color.

For this look I took the white and blended it below my eyebrow then I got the turquoise color and put it along the entire lid. The lighter blue was then blended in the inner crease along 1/4 of my lid. The black was then used at the outer crease.

Here is my Pm look.

Overall, I had a little trouble getting the Am look to come on but def liked the colors on it. The Pm was okay but I would have liked the colors to go along better. They were pretty pigmented though.

Interersted in the Am to Pm kit. You can find it at:
