De-Clutter: Goodbye Lippies

Hello everyone! Welcome to a new de-clutter  post here on my blog.
I won't lie, this post took a very long time to get done because I found very difficult to part with a couple of these products. The main product focus of this de-clutter are lip products.

Lip Product De-Clutter

Lipsticks

Revlon Superlustrous in 525 Wine with Everything

Revlon Superlustrous in 740 Certainly Red

Limecrime Glamour 101

Limecrime Glamour 101 - Beautiful red lipstick. However, as it's gotten older, it has begun to dry out and it is very patchy when applied.I constantly have to build up the opacity,and it's just not worth the effort anymore. Won't be repurchasing.

Revlon Superlustrous in 740 Certainly Red - My favourite red lipstick. Creamy, pigmented, and just absolutely beautiful on the lips. It is a cream lipstick therefore it doesn't survive through eating and drinking, but I don't mind reapplying or touching up on the go with this. Definite repurchase.

Revlon Superlustrous in 525 Wine with Everything - Another beautiful lipstick. I really enjoy the cream formula of the Superlustrous lipsticks. For me, this is the perfect everyday lipstick. It packs a punch of colour without being jarring or overpowering. It's a wine lipstick that does not go into the deep, sultry or even vampy category of wine lipsticks.Definite repurchase.

Lipgloss

Back in early 2017, I did a yearly favourites for 2016, and it featured my Revlon Superlustrous lipgloss in Pink Pop. Sadly, Pink Pop and its sister Desert Spice, are being de-cluttered. The consistency of both glosses has changed dramatically, and the scent has gone off completely. The Superlustrous glosses however, have an amazing formula. They are high shine, and thick without being tacky, and they are very moisturizing. I may purchase a new gloss from this line, but since I don't wear lipglosses frequently, I'll hold off on making any definitive decisions. 

 Other

My final two lip products being de-cluttered. While I enjoyed them, I'm no longer interested  in wearing them. They both have great pigmentation, and feel very comfortable on my lips, but I just don't reach for them. I've had these on my chopping block for months, trying to convince myself to use them but I just have other products I'd rather use.

Parting is such sweet sorrow, especially when it comes to my red lipsticks. However, it's time for me to try new products, and I can't do that until I rid my collection of the unused, the expired, and/or the neglected.

My next post will be an empties post, and who knows maybe it'll drop next Sunday 😏😸
Until next time, stay happy,healthy and positive.

Review: Revlon Ultra HD Matte LipColor

Hey everyone! Welcome back!

Today, I'm doing a quickie review on the Revlon Ultra HD Matte Liquid LipColor. 

I have this in the shade Passion, which is a beautiful red. Prior to purchasing this, I saw a lot of mixed reviews on this particular product, and was very apprehensive when purchasing mine. However, since purchasing this, I've worn it for almost 2 weeks straight. I've been out of the habit of wearing red lips, but this product made me fall back in love with red lips.

Revlon Ultra HD Matte LipColor in Passion

The consistency of this product is perfect, it isn't pure liquid, nor is it too creamy. If I had to give a specific texture, it'll be almost gel like. It glides onto the lips easily, and I haven't been a victim of it bleeding or moving outside of my lip line. It takes a long time to completely dry down, which is a bit of a hassle, however, a quick blot with a tissue and you're good to go. I ritually blot my lips when it comes to any lipstick, cream or liquid, just to ensure it doesn't get onto my teeth, so this step didn't bother me, nor did it impact my opinion on this product. 

The applicator on this liquid LipColor is divine. It is small, and triangular making application a breeze.

Revlon Ultra HD Matte Applicator

 

My only problem with this product is the scent. It smells like cherry cough syrup. I guess it fits with the colour of the product but I could do without the strong fragrance.

Swach of Ultra HD Matte LipColor in Passion

I've truly been enjoying using this product, despite the strong fragrance, however, I know many people wouldn't consider this to be a true liquid lipstick, since it doesn't dry down to a full matte finish in a short period of time. It does manage to last through eating and drinking, and wears comfortably and beautifully throughout the day. It is small enough to fit in your pocket, so it is great for me whenever I want a punch of colour on the go. 

I would personally recommend this to my friends, but only this shade since I am yet to try others from the line.

I'm sorry about the short review, however, I have a lot of stuff going on personally right now, and my time is very divided.
This may be my last post of the next two weeks, depending on how things go, however, I am in the process of testing some products out, and I hope to bring those reviews to you very soon.
Until next time, stay happy, healthy and positive.

Best in Beauty 2015: Lips

Hello everyone!
I hope you all had a great week. I'm a bit tired after my first week back to classes, this semester is going to be a tough one.
Today, we finish off my Best in Beauty 2015, with lip products.
I have a fair amount to go through, so let's get started!

Lip Liner 

NYX Nude Truffle (top), Avon Mystery Mauve (below)

 Hands down my most used, and most love lip liners for 2015. Avon Mystery Mauve is a beautiful mauve neutral shade, which I've almost completely used up, and sadly since Avon is no longer available in Trinidad, I can't repurchase it. I'm on the hunt for a similar shade, and I will let you know, once I find it.
Nude Truffle is a beautiful neutral nude shade, both are extremely creamy, and apply easily.

Lip Liner Swatches

Lipstick 

Maybelline Color Sensational Matte - Touch of Spice

Maybelline Touch of Spice

This shade was very "on trend" for 2015. The colour is a mauve toned brown, and it is very creamy and pigmented. Although this is a matte formula, it does not dry out my lips. I'm half-way through my bullet, and considering that I've been heavily into liquid lipsticks in 2015, this is quite the feat.

NYX Simply Nude Lip Cream in Sable 

2015, the year I spoke constantly about this lip cream. It is super buttery, and creamy, extremely pigmented, and doesn't dry out my lips. I don't have a bad thing to say about this product.


Revlon Colorstay Matte Balm Shameless

Revlon Matte Balm Shameless

When applied in 2 or more layers, it is a super vampy, dark purple lip, however, applied lightly, it is a strong vibrant purple. It is very comfortable on the lips, I adore the Revlon Matte Balms, I even got my mom hooked on them now. I have more in my collection, however, for 2015 this was my go-to. I wore it to classes, to go out, I just adore this shade.

L'oreal La Lacque in Lacquey-You

Super shiny, moisturizing, and pigmented. It has a scent similar to Aloe Vera Vaseline, which I actually really like. This was a random, spur of the moment purchase in 2015, but I do really enjoy using this when I'm not feeling for a matte lip. Plus, it is easy enough to keep in my handbag constantly.

Liquid Lipsticks

Kat Von D Lolita Lip Duo

 Lolita is described as a chesnut rose, while Lolita II is a terracotta nude. Very true to description. They last all day on the lips without being extremely drying. They don't flake off at all. I love these. I want more.

Swatches of Lolita and Lolita II

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip in Limbo 

 Firstly, this is the perfect dupe for LimeCrime Salem. Secondly, it is more comfortable on the lips than the LimeCrime. This was my first experience with Colourpop Cosmetics, and now they have me wishing they shipped internationally. The Ultra Matte Lips are beautifully, and I'm definitely going to get my hands on some more eventually.
It applies easily, takes approximately 10-20 seconds to dry, and is very opaque. Wears well throughout the day, and remains comfortable, with no cracking.

L.A Girl Flat Matte Pigment Gloss in Rebel

 

Can you tell I have a love for purple?! 

Gorgeous colour, however, it is very drying so ensure you moisturise your lips before with a rich lip balm, and exfoliate your lips before use, because this is not a forgiving formula. Nonetheless, it is easy to apply. It does tend to crack at the center of the lip, but despite that I still really like it. Of the 4 I own, this is the most used. 

Lipgloss

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Pink Pop 

 

 When applied to the lips, this lipgloss is a sheer wash of pink. This however, has to be one of the most moisturising lipglosses I have ever used. When my lips are feeling dry and sad, but I want to wear a little bit of colour, this is what I turn to. I actual got this on sale, and I'm happy I did. This lipgloss formula is the bomb.

We are finally at the end of this blog post, and the end of my Best in Beauty 2015 series.
Thank you all for coming by today! I truly appreciate it!
As always, I hope you stay happy, healthy and positive! And here's hoping you have a wonderful weekend and week ahead!

Bye!

September Favourites - Makeup and the return of Doctor Who

Hello everyone!
Welcome back to my blog. Today's post is going to be my September Favourites, however, before I get into the makeup, I need to geek out about the Series 9 Premiere of Doctor Who.

Undoubtedly one of the best premieres in recent Who history! Within the 5 minutes my jaw had hit the floor. I am not one to post *River Song's voice* "Spoilers", and I will not be posting any for the upcoming series! Last week's episode has me pumped up for tomorrow night's new episode. Also, Jenna Coleman is said to have filmed her last scenes as Clara Oswald, which means we will be seeing a new companion with the Doctor. We all wish Jenna the best in her future endeavours!

Now onto the makeup!

I have a couple of products that I have been in the process of testing out, and they will be getting their own devoted post very soon. I have to keep this week's post very short, because I have 5 chapters of readings to do by Tuesday, so I really need to get back into it. However, I do hope you enjoyed, follow my Facebook page (J's Mind Palace) for some exclusive content, hauls and sneak peaks as well as my Instagram (@ladyjpsych) where I just post randomly. Also, as the new seasons of many of my favourite shows continue, I will be posting a Nerd Favourites hopefully in the coming month! Yay!
