100% PURE COSMETICS

                                                                                                                           All items sent from PR


Hi everyone today I want to share with you another brand that I have recently discovered. I find I have been searching for brands that are less mainstream and offer more natural options. Everything I am showing you today was generously supplied by 100% Pure cosmetics. I hope you enjoy this over view.


PURITY COLLECTION FACIAL CLEANSER + MASK ACNE DETOX
$28 CAD-147ML

This product is 100% natural and 100% Vegan. This mask is formulated to give you a clearer complexion and protect against future breakouts. Essential oils present in the product help eliminate bacteria that causes acne, also purifying herbs and nourishing seaweeds help protect the skin from future problems.

When you apply this mask it has a super intense peppermint scent that is quite strong and made my eyes water. The mask itself I find is best applied with a large foundation brush. I leave it on for about 12 minutes. Once I rinse I find my skin feels very clean, but still soft. I also find that it helped to start drying up any spots I did have at that time. As of late I have been having several small breakouts around my chin and nose area. I don't feel any one mask is going to completely solve your skin problems, but I do feel they can help relieve them and get your skin on the way to healing. I find because it is quite strong I only use it once, max twice a week and I have only been applying it to problem areas instead of my entire face. Also this mask gets super stiff and hard as it dries I can barely move my mouth once it sets.

BLACK TEA PIGMENTED ULTRA LENGTH MASCARA
$26 CAD-7g

The colour of this mascara is called "Black Tea" however there are three other offerings which are plum, blue and brown. I find this mascara smells really nice because its 100% natural and infused with tea, chocolate and berry pigments which I can really smell.

I like the way this mascara is packaged in the cardboard cylinder, and the mascara tube

it self is very nice and feels like a quality package in your hand.
This mascara applies nicely with decent volume and good separation. However it is not water proof, which I would prefer that it is, as it does run easily. The claim of it being water and smudge resistant fell short for me. It also offers ProVitamin B5, Vitamin E, and wheat protein to help strengthen the individual lashes. This is how my lashes look after two coats.



FIRST LOVE- CREAMY NAIL POLISH
$16-14.7ml

The benefits to these polishes are that they are free of the common carcinogens found in most nail polish such as- formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, camphor, and formaldehyde resin.

I find this polish beautiful, creamy and has excellent full opacity in as little as two coats. The formula is very good, it applies easily with no streaking and self levels quickly.

This colour reminds of liquid bubble gum.

I (HEART) YOU

This nail polish  is still in the pink family, but has a different tone that runs a little peachy pink. It also has super fine pinky silver glitter. I absolutely love this polish and think its a fabulous unique colour. I love the shimmer that it reflects when hit with the light, Its a very dreamy nail polish.

100% Pure offers Pinks, Reds & Nudes in their nail polish collection and I do hope eventually to see some brighter bolder offerings from them down the road. I highly recommend these polishes. The colours I received do wear a decent amount of time, especially with a top coat before needing a touch up. It really all depends on what your hands are doing when your wearing ANY type of polish, I don't care who makes it. 

and very last up I was also sent the short handle eye shadow brush (travel size)

$13

All of 100% pure brushes are vegan, cruelty free and made with antibacterial synthetic fibers. All brushes have wood handles that have a opalescent white finish and high shine tapered silver ferrules. The company name and vegan/cruelty free are printed on them. This particular brush does not have the purpose on it, so I am not sure if the others do or not.

I find the brush soft, but stiff and best used for packing on colour to the eyelid. It does not shed and the synthetic fibers keep their shape and are not showing any signs of splaying. This brush washes up very easily.

Over all I am pleased with these products from 100% Pure and I recommend you check them out at the link here as they have many more wonderful products to discover.

WET N WILD MEGALAST POLISH AND LIPSTICKS

Hi everyone,

I have three items to share with you today which are two Wet N Wild Megalast lipsticks and a nail polish from the same line.

This is my first time purchasing a Wet N Wild Megalast nail polish, but I have heard many good things about the formula and its staying power. Also the awesome pro brush that really makes for good coverage. The colour I picked was UNDER YOUR SPELL. This is such a sexy vampy colour and I feel I will get good use out of it. I love anything that is deep garnet in colour.

I am recalling that I may have seen 20/30 GLAM speak of this colour, ladies correct me if I am wrong, but I do know these two gals adore this polish line as well.

HERE IS A LOOK AT "UNDER YOUR SPELL"

This nail polish has very good coverage this was actually one coat and I am very impressed. Also the megalast polishes are totally affordable at a mere $3 CAD for 13.5ml.

Then I bought two more of the Megalast lipsticks because I feel for $3 the colour really lasts on the lips (it will stain the lip) and the opacity is top notch.

L2r-966 DON'T BLINK PINK & 967 DOLLHOUSE PINK

Don't blink pink is a more melon toned pink and Dollhouse pink is true bubblegum pink with cool undertones to it and is totally amazing.

I have been pleased with all the colours I have purchased in this line. In the past I have also reviewed the colours 916 RAVIN'RAISIN, 913 SAND STORM & 906 WINE ROOM.

These megalast lipsticks are available at select Walmart & Loblaw stores.

"THE ONE STOP SHOP" FANTASY MAKERS HALLOWEEN MAKEUP KITS

Welcome back,

Today I want to show you three Halloween kits I picked up from the Fantasy Makers by Wet N Wild line. The collections are curated to work together to create a specific look outlined on the package, but I was looking beyond that as the items are very useable anytime year round.

The sets are called "WICKED LOOK" and the first one can be used to create a PIXIE PRINCESS look according to package.
Each set comes complete with false fantasy style lashes, a duo of eyeshadows, mini lipstick and nail polish.

 

The eyeshadow duo is a strong highlight of the kit coming in at a full 4g. The colour payoff is very good for the green, but a little weak for the orange, you really have to build it up.

 

 

 

The lipstick is definitely the same formulation used for the MEGA LAST semi-matte lipsticks in the Wet N Wild line and offer up that same incredible pigmentation. I am very pleased with the mini which are 1.7g and will last for a while.

 

 

This is a peachy pink toned lipstick

 

The other item is a very pink coral nail polish that has a nice shiny finish and will last if you do two coats and a top coat.

I would also say this is probably the same formula as the mega last nail polishes as well.

 

Last in this pack is a pair of glitter long lashes that are suppose to be self adhesive, but I did not find they stayed on. I am planning on getting some duo adhesive so they will last.

 

 

 

 

The next kit is called VAMPIRESS which is a much deeper gothic style.

 

The eyeshadow duo in this kit offers up a gorgeous true red which I am excited about because I have been on the hunt for a red shadow. The other colour is a dark chocolate brown with a beautiful bronze gold shimmer in it. Again all these eyeshadows can easily carry you through many other times of year, so be sure to check them out.

 

 

 

The lipstick is an amazing ox blood red that is so decadent and vampy and I will be wearing this a lot in the coming months.

 

The nail polish is a fierce candy apple red with a swirls of gold throughout. It is a super sexy red that will make your nails look like garnets.

 

The photo does not do it justice as is picked up more pinky red, so this is not true to real life.

 

and again a very sassy pair of dramatic lashes with red tinsel pieces added to the outer corners

 

 

The third kit is called "WICKED QUEEN".

 

 

The eyeshadow duo in this kit is a true blue and a pewter toned silver. I wore this today and it looked amazing together and blends out beautifully with little to no fall out.

 

 

The blue swatched a bit weak, but I did not use primer

 

The lipstick in this kit is very intense and definitely won't be for everyone. I for one love super dark lip colours. This is basically a black plum purple

 

 

Next up the nail polish which is a clear glitter. I will use this more as a top coat then anything or for the accent nail which happens to be my middle finger;P I like to add my own twist to common ideas LOL.

 

 

Last the lashes are probably my fave of all three and they are simple sexy long lashes with rhinestones at the lash base

 

 

 

So to conclude the eyeshadow duo is 4g, mini lipstick 1.7g and nail polish mini is 6.5ml. Lashes are decent, but not superior quality and do require better quality eyelash adhesive.

EACH KIT WAS $4.99 CAD

 

 Hope you all enjoyed another fun Halloween makeup review
