First Impression: CoverGirl QUeen Colorlicious Glosses

Ok, so yes I was feeling myself after I did this look! LOL

Picture

Normally, I might take a picture with my phone if I try on a new lipstick or use a new eyeshadow. My point-and-shoot camera might get some play if I put on a full face. But this time I brought in the big guns with my DSLR because I was SO impressed with how these new products performed. I wanted to be able to capture the true colors I used with the best lens I had. I took these pictures when the sun was going down and the lighting is just coming from the backlight on my laptop below my face (I was sitting at my desk taking selfies!)

I got a chance to use some of the products that I purchased over the holidays as well as some old favorites. Some of these products are part of brand new collection roll-outs for 2015 and some products are just new to me. Now I am NOT a makeup artist. I am not a beauty professional. I just like makeup! But I really feel that many of the products I tried on my face today made it easy for me to feel like I knew what I was doing! For me, that is one of the best reviews I could give an item.

Product Breakdown >>

Favorite item: Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick

  • This will blend and blend and blend some more. And then blend itself. It was so creamy, but remained pigmented without looking harsh.

Least favorite item: City Color Slim Eyeshadow Compact

  • I didn’t even list this item in the product breakdown because when I went to put on some of the shadows, they wouldn’t show up. Swatched on my arm they were beautiful, by my eyelids weren’t having it.

Biggest surprise: City Color Sunlight Bronzing Stick

  • City Color redeemed themselves with this creamy highlighting stick. It adds just enough shimmer to highlight, but it didn’t clash with my matte foundation and contour.
