A collection of reviews on youtube for the new Maybelline lipsticks which supposedly match every skin tone. Do they? Swatching starts at 0:35

* I want to set up hosting for this blog but I am lazy * I am most likely to update a blog when I’m procrastinating it’s not good to pressure yourself on a hobby * at first it was freeing not to have to test things in time, I could just use whatever I wanted and not stick to a schedule * unlike what I expected this did not lead me to purchase less new items – on the contrary since I didn’t have to stagger my usage of makeup for reviews And this brings me to this video I found on youtube by Jen Luvs Reviews which expresses my opinion on swatches so well: Through the course of the video she pulls up a good, not so good and bad palette to show you how the swatches differ.

So this year they came out with a new LE cologne, again called Remix Cologne, but with an added Edition 2018. This is yummy orange juice with a hint of orange blossom and it softens out into a wonderful light tea note and ends in a little bit of musk. The 2018 edition is clearly inspired by last year’s remix idea, but if I understood correctly it is supposed to kick off a new series of LE colognes, one per year, each centered around a different ingredient of the original 4711 cologne (2018 representing the orange note). Edition 2018 is limited edition (however you can still find bottles of last year’s edition as well so it should not be too hard to get for a while).

Now I’m sorry that I’m so behind in my posts that I’m only now reviewing this, but as far as I can tell these are not LE and still being sold. A while ago MAC came out with their matte liquid lipsticks called Retro Matte Liquid. You know how matte liquid lippies give you those very visible lines; you’ll still get them with this but way less visible. In a nutshell this is a great liquid lipstick and I hate how they released way too many colors at once because who can afford all those?
