ModelCo. Party Proof Lipstick and Beauty Fix Airbrush Face Review

Wednesday 28 May 2014

I had the chance recently, to try out some new Modelco. products, which of course I was excited to do.  The two that I chose to try were the Party Proof Cream Lipstick  and the Beauty Fix Airbrush Face Makeup Setting Spray.

For the lipstick, I chose the colour "Splendourful - a beautiful, bright orange coral that really caught my eye.  I was really excited to try this one, as I just loved  the colour so much!  Well... I really wanted to like it, but I have to be honest and say I was a little disappointed.  The Party Proof range of lipsticks are marketed as being long lasting and budge proof, however I found that not to be the case.  Maybe it's just me, but I found that it just didn't quite sit right on my lips.  I felt like as soon as I applied it, it was already moving and coming off.  I also really disliked the texture of the formula.  It seemed almost a little bit cakey and feathered as soon as I put it on.  I have given this one ample chances to win me over, but unfortunately I'm just not a fan.  The colour is stunning, but the formula just didn't work for me.  The Party Proof lipstick range retails for $16.95AUD.



The second product I chose to try, is the Beauty Fix Airbrush Face Makeup Setting Spray.  Now THIS one, I love!  I have been on the lookout for an inexpensive setting spray, that actually works, and I think I've found it in this product!  The first time I used it, I applied WAY too much and just about soaked my face in it - not ideal.  But since then, I've mastered spraying just the right amount of product to do the job!  It feels slightly sticky when it first goes on, but it soaks in super fast and afterwards you don't even know it's there.  It has quite a nice, fresh scent as well which is always an added bonus.  I really like this spray, and I find that for my skin, it really does help to set my makeup and make sure it doesn't go anywhere throughout the day.  I find that when I use this, at the end of a long day I can look in the mirror and still see that I have a full face of makeup on - as opposed to wondering where on earth it all went, which is never good!  Beauty Fix retails for $24.00AUD.


I would love to hear from you if you have tried either of these products.  I'd love to know your opinions, so please do comment and let me know x

Lipstick Queen Endless Summer Lipstick and Chinatown Lip Pencil Review

Tuesday 13 May 2014

I was given the opportunity recently, to choose some products by Lipstick Queen, for myself to try out.  Lipstick Queen is a range designed by the lovely Poppy King, in her quest to find the perfect lipstick for herself!  Browsing through the online store, I found it difficult to choose between all the beautiful looking products, but I narrowed it down to two that I had to have!

The first product I chose, was the Endless Summer lipstick in the shade 'Stoked'.  I was drawn to this colour because I'm completely obsessed with oranges and corals at the moment!  I was keen to find out how true the shade would be to how it appears on the website, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was super accurate.




I love this shade, as it seems to be the perfect mix of coral and red, without being too "out there".  It's quite subtle - almost more like a tint, however the colour is also quite easy to build upon.  I found this lipstick to be extremely moisturising!  In fact, the first time I applied it, I thought there was no way it could possibly be long-lasting, because it felt so silky and as though it would just slip right off my lips!  However, I was surprised to find that it did last quite well throughout the day.  As with any lipstick of course, it's lasting power largely depends on your expectations, and whether you are eating or drinking often etc.  But overall, I have found that it lasts for most of the day, if I apply two or three coats in the morning.  I really like this lipstick and would love to give some of the other shades a try!

The other product I chose, was the Chinatown chubby lip pencil in the shade 'Genre'.  Again, I was drawn to this colour because it was described as a "sheer, bright orange".  I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from this product - whether it would be a creamy consistency, or more like a gloss, so I couldn't wait to give it a try!

The pencil comes with it's own sharpener, which I love - and I loved the colour straight away!  It's basically a lip gloss in the form of a pencil - or at least, that's how I would describe it.  I really like this idea, as it's super easy to apply and it isn't sticky or messy like glosses can be.  The shades in the Chinatown range are very bright, however they are super, super  sheer, which enables you to wear colours that would otherwise be too overbearing, in a full coverage formula.


I love this product and the idea behind it.  It's versatile and can be worn on it's own, as well as underneath or over top of other lip products.  I would definitely recommend giving this one a try!

On a whole, I'm really impressed with Lipstick Queen as a brand, and I hope to try out some of their other beautiful products very soon!  Both products retail for $22.00US and can be purchased from the online store at www.lipstickqueen.com
