Beauty Luscious & Co. and Some Selfies ;p

One of my long time supporters on my Facebook page, Suzanne contacted me a while ago and said that she wanted to send me some samples of her makeup range (Luscious Cosmetics) to try out and of course I said YES (I mean who can say no to free makeup - lol)!

She sent me some samples of lipstick, illuminator and some foundation. As I have pretty sensitive skin I decided to leave the foundation trial for another time as I have to attend and judge the Face of Alice Be Curious Competition this week and there will be plenty of photos so I wanted to play it safe.

 

 "FAMOUS" MOISTURISING LIPSTICK

  This lipstick really surprised me. I've worn my fair share of lipsticks and I always find that they dry my lips out, even if the product claims to be moisturising. This is where Luscious Cosmetics differs.

Swatch on the back of my hand (macro - no filter).

This lipstick just feels so luxurious on your lips and has a lovely shine. Even though this lipstick is sheer, it still has quite a lot of pigment on it and it was super easy to get an immaculate lip line (I didn't use a lip liner for this application).

The only thing I would say that detracts from this product is that it does move a lot on the lips and I could imagine having to reapply this all the time. However, if you are a regular lipgloss wearer you may not find this too annoying to reapply during the day.

Practicing my vacant stare! ;p

This is also a safe option for those of you who want to wear red lipstick but aren't confident enough yet to wear such a loud and bold colour. I definitely felt comfortable wearing this in public and it didn't feel like I was wearing a lipstick at all.

I would recommend this for people who suffer from dry skin on their lips and also for those who just want to wear a sheer wash of colour on your lips rather than a full coverage lipstick.

Beauty Luscious & Co Moisturising Lipstick comes in 25 colours and retails for $30.00AUD.

"PARADISE" LIQUID ILLUMINATOR

Luscious Sheer Glow comes in two different shades, Movie Star (iridescent pearl glow) and Paradise (bronze glow).

For those of you who have seen my work, you know how much I LOVE using illuminators and highlighters on the skin. I think it's because of my obsession with JLo's shine in all her photo shoots and Scott Barnes' work.

This illuminator has an amazing shine, however, I would recommend to use it mixed in with your foundation only, as I found the texture of this to be too runny to be used just as a cheek highlighter. It does give off a nice sheen though (as shown below).
