Ruby Kisses Color Design Lipsticks

I purchased these lipsticks from my drugstore for $0.99, they can also be purchased from Rubykisses.com for the same price.  There are 23 colors in the collection to choose from and I was able to acquire 5 for my collection, as this is what was in stock at the time.  The colors that I have are Shiny Bronze, Shiny Copper, Shiny Orange, Ice Princess and Fuchsia.  

The claims on the website for this product are that they:
Have a rich and creamy formula
Are long lasting with intense color
Have a semi matte finish

I have been working with these for the past week and my final opinion on the product is they are creamy with no drying effect.  The color lasted about three hours even thru eating and drinking before I had to re-apply.  The color is very intense, and did not bleed.  Some of the colors had a metallic like finish that I loved.  I give the product and formula  out of 5 kitty cats.  I will be purchasing more colors to add to my collection as for $0.99 these did exactly what they promised.

Until we meet again don't forget to live and play in color. 

Just Fab

Received these shoes as a gift from a really good friend who soooooooo knows my addiction to heels.  The shoes were purchased from justfab.com.

Just Fab is a website that offers:

My opinion of the shoes - they are very well made and came carefully packed.  The material is soft and the shoe fits weĺl.  The shoes run true to size, and were very comfortable after wearing them for about 4 hours. 

My final opinion is a thumbs up 👍.  I will definitely become a member of the site and will be shopping there often.

Thanks for your time and don't forget to live and play in color.

NYX Intense Butter Gloss

Like the NYX prismatic eyeshadows in my previous post,  these intense glosses were also hard to get a hold of.  After several store searches I ended up also ordering these on the ULTA website.  There are 12 glosses in the intense butter gloss range and they sell for $6 each online at Ulta.com or NYX.com, and in Ulta stores.  At the time of my purchase Ulta had them on sale for buy 1 get 1 50% off so I purchased 4 colors.

The colors that I currently own are Spice Cake, Tres Leches,  Chocolate Crepe and Toasted Marshmallow.  First off I have to say that all of these colors are HIGHLY pigmented with amazing color payoff.  The applicator is very soft and each dip into the tube with the applicator produces enough color for your lips.  The texture is smooth and gloss applies very smoothly and the colors are beautiful and sexy.

Downside to these glosses - there is no staying power.  After eating a meal the color was gone.  There was some staining of the lips with the darker colors, but it was very patchy.  The color also bleeds outside of your lips even when a colored lip liner or anti feathering liner was used.  When worn if not eating or drinking, the glosses would last at least two hours before they started to fade.  When eating or drinking they did not hold up to the perssures.

Overall, I was not very impressed with the lasting, staying power or the fact that there was bleeding of there colors.  I was however impressed with the pigmentation and the texture.  Would I buy anymore of these?  No I will not.  In my opinion they are not worth the $6 just for color pigmentation or texture.
