Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick ($7.59) arrives with the Maybelline Summer 2017 in an array of long-wearing shades. This formula promises to provide 16 hours of continuous wear with a matte finish.
I’m honestly not a fan of long-wearing lip products and Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink’s formula is one of the reason I dislike them so much. This stuff is the devil’s work!
The new, limited edition Tarte Make Magic Happen Amazonian Clay Eyeshadow Palette ($32) is a new Summer 2017 launch. I know, we’ve been a little burned with Tarte lately but they are slowly redeeming themselves in my eyes as the Clay Play Face Shaping Palette has actually become a stable product for me and I’ve been using it daily since purchasing it.
The Make Magic Happen Eyeshadow Palette caught my eye because it appeared to have some sort of new eyeshadow formulation and on some level it is a different formula for Tarte.
Let’s take a look at my review and swatches below.
Revlon Bare Affair Super Lustrous Lipstick ($4.99 at Harmons) is a new shade which represents the city of Seoul that launched with the Revlon Street Chic Collection for Summer 2017. As you may know Revlon introduced 12 shades of Super Lustrous Lipstick six of which are brand new shades. These shades are inspired cities from around the world.
The new Maybelline Master Camo Color Correcting Pen ($9.99) takes on an unconventional concealer and correcting method by launching in a red shade. You probably seen a slew of different youTube videos by now where gurus are color correcting dark circles using red lipstick. Yup, red lipstick! I honestly never tried it and I always thought it was a method best suited to darker skin tones but I’ve even skin fairer skinned girls and guys doing it. I’m still scared to try it 🙂
Now, color correcting is kind of a drugstore thing at the moment. Last year, we saw a variety of different higher and mid-range brands taking on color correcting full force. Well, it’s hit the drugstore world and brands like Hard Candy and now Maybelline are at it. What’s interesting about Maybelline Master Camo Color Correcting Pen is they have a few “unconventional” shades in their correcting line up that might be worth exploring such as apricot and red.
Tarte Sweet Tarte Fragrance ($24) is being marketed at the brand’s first-ever perfume but I’m hearing different from many of you. Apparently, Tarte already had a fragrance?! I honestly do not remember that and after much searching the web I was unable to discover a photo or even a blurb about it anywhere. I would have loved to seen what the original perfume looked like.
Mid-range brands releasing fragrance is apparently a thing now. Recently, Urban Decay launched their Go Naked Perfume Oil and soon after that Tarte Sweet Tarte Fragrance dropped. Now I’m waiting for Too Faced to make some sort of peach fragrance launch. Who thinks that will happen? Shall we place bets?
