ORIFLAME The One Irresistible Touch High Shine Lipstick Luscious Taupe This was love at first try. Formula is almost a dead ringer for Revlon's Kiss Cushions , so a comfortable, balmy formula that still feels more like a lipstick than a lip gloss and here I also have a beautiful natural shade. It's all I wanted - a comfy formula in a Revlon Birthday Suit -like colour. Applicator is also a plush one, but smaller and pigmentation is fully opaque, unless you don't twist the bottom and use what's left on the applicator, then you get either a stain or a semi-opaque look. Before my go-to natural colour that I just grabbed before going out the house was Wet n' Wild Mega Last High-Shine Lip Color in Mad for Mauve (for the last half a year. I pick it over Birthday Suit because of the masks) and now I reach for this. Finish is creamy-glossy, but after some time I find it doesn't transfer much.

REVLON Colorstay Satin Ink 001 Your Go-to, 005 Silky Sienna, 007 Partner in Crime, 009 Speak Up, 010 Your Majesty, 012 Seal the Deal in 019 My Own Boss These are new at Revlon. 21 shades exist, but we got 7 here, mostly natural shades and two bright ones. Formula changes during wear time - it starts glossy, then slowly set to a satin finish that's not dry, but also doesn't transfer (though there can be some small traces), but it's generally mask-proof especially after it fully sets. You can also speed up dry time to satin by just applying one layer on one of the lips and press them together, so you have a lighter layer of product, which is still fully opaque because these have a strong pigmentation, though the darker two 019 My Own Boss and 012 Seal the Deal are a bit sheerer than the rest. These also change colour as the dry, especially 009 Speak up goes from a light-ish mauve-nude to a medium mauve. The only two that don't really change are magenta 012 Seal the Deal a...

*All Matt Shine Control Makeup Up 020 N Neutral Nude Beige The particularly skin-friendly texture of the vegan foundation doesn't contain mineral oils, microplastic particles or parabens and is free of oil and alcohol. This makes it ideal for oily skin and skin prone to impurities. In addition to lasting for up to 18 hours, the mattifying make-up is also transfer-proof. Vitamin E protects the skin from free radicals and EvermatTM ensures a long-lasting, soft-matt finish. The pump allows an optimal dosage of the foundation and the cap is made of recycled plastic. Texture: A light, yet creamy foundation that's similar in texture to for example Bourjois Healthy Mix. It's not particularly fast drying, but when I apply it with my fingers, I need to be a bit faster than usual because it can be dry already when I get to the edges of my face. With a sponge I don't have such issues and it behaves like a non-matte foundation. It blends nicely into the skin, with no visible edges...
