NYX Perfect Filter Shadow Palette

NYX is a cruelty free brand that offers a variety of products for face (foundations, blushes, etc.), eyes (shadows, liners, etc.), lips (glosses, lipsticks, etc.) to nails and tools (brushes, cleansing balms, etc.).  The makeup can be purchased from drugstores (Target, CVS etc.) to beauty stores (Ulta), to free standing NYX stores ( check their website for locations) and of course from their website NYXcosmetics.com.  Their makeup can be used daily by beginners to intermediate to professionals.

Lets get into the product:

* 10 colors in the palette
* 5 palettes to choose from
* matte and shimmer in all palettes
*each palette is "inspired by a different photo filtering effect"

Palettes purchased:

* Golden Hour - golden neutrals palette.  Warm browns, neutrals, in both matte and shimmer.  Purchased from Ulta for $16.50
* Rustic Antique - rust and orange neutrals.  Beautiful blend of rust, orange and gold colors both in       matte and shimmer.  Purchased from the NYX store for $14.00.

Likes:

* buttery texture
* very pigmented
* versatile, bold colors
* well built packaging, very sleek
* product is very easy to work with and looks can go from day to night

Dislikes:
* for a drugstore palette it is on the higher price side.  Original price for the palette is $20 for the 10 colors.

Overall opinion of this product is I LOVE IT.  I purchased the first palette from Ulta for $16.50 using a $3.50 coupon (original price $20.) and loved it so very much that I made a trip to the NYX store and purchased my second palette for $14 (30% off sale going on at the time).  The shadows off a variety of looks and as mentioned above they are buttery and very pigmented.  I give this product 😻😻😻😻 (4 out of 5 kittens), one star removed for price.

J.Cat Beauty Liptonix Shimmer Toppers

J.Cat Beauty is a company based in Santa Fe Springs California.  Their products are cruelty free.  They are a creative makeup brand that offers many products for you to mix and match to get the look that you desire.  They offer makeup for the beginner to the expert makeup user and you do not need to break the bank.

The product that we will be taking a look at today is the Liptonix Shimmer Toppers.  There are 24 colors in the collection to choose from  and they offer a weightless shine when used alone or as a topper to your matte finish lip products.  The gloss as the website depicts contains light reflective shimmer and can take your look from day to night.

As mentioned there are 24 colors in the collection and I purchased 5 colors.  They can be purchased from the J.Cat Beauty website https://jcatbeauty.com/liptonix_extreme_shimmer_topper for $4.99 a piece with FREE domestic U.S shipping on orders over $20.

Lets get into the product:

As mentioned I purchased 5 colors to test out.  Here are the colors purchased:
LTX104 - Supernova.  This is a light purple with greenish blue shimmer
LTX107 - Rustic Geo.  This is a bronzy color with silver shimmer
LTX111 - Kinetic Energy.  This is a peachy color with silver/gold shimmer
LTX114 - Cosmic Dream.  This is a pinkish red color with gold shimmer
LTX123 - Marionberry Fire.  This is a cranberry (oxblood) color with gold shimmer.

Likes:

• Price - inexpensive price.  There are other shimmer toppers on the market (like Urban Decay), however none that I could find for under $5.
• Effective packaging - the tubes are very elegant and well made and the wand is a doe foot applicator.  They are also small enough to fit into a purse with ease.
• Color selection - the colors selection is amazing and offers a variety of color ranges that allow you to create various looks.  Colors range from reds, to purples, to blues, to greens to pinks and oranges, something for everyone.
• Product versatility - the product and be worn alone as a shimmer gloss or used to pep up your matte lip products for a more "poppin" look.

Dislikes:

• Glitter - the product when worn down leaves chunks of glitter on the lip.  Depending on where you are or what function you are attending this can be a bit annoying.

Pictured here is LTX114 Cosmic Dream.

Overall this is a great and affordable lip topper.  As mentioned it is very versatile and with the color selection you can find a product for every occasion.  I have a few products from this company and have not been disappointed with any of the products I purchased.  Over all I give this product 😻😻😻😻 (4 out of 5 kittens).
