REVLON, CLINIQUE, OR POP????

What's up my beautiful Makeup Addicts today I have a review/compare for you!!!! today I have my chubby lip sticks/balm from Revlon, Clinique and Pop beauty, These  are amazing but one does shine better than the other ones. 

I want to start by telling you why I love these chubby sticks, first of all they are really hydrating and the last thing you want is something on your lips that makes them feel dried up and uncomfortable,they are so soft they feel like butter and that makes them glide so well and smooth, another thing that I like about them is that they are good to wear when you're on the go and just need a little color to change your look. 

OK now going to compare these 3 brands that just seem to make the same thing and yet all of them have different prices... so which one do you choose???????

lets start with Clinique Chubby sticks Price: $16

These chubby sticks are high end and if you want to find them you can go to the mall and check them out at Macy's, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, and Sephora. These bad boys are really pigmented and they have 16 amazing colors but the problem for me is even though they are great the price is a little to steep for me, don't get me wrong I will still buy them because they are great I just wished they were a little cheaper.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm stain price: $ 7.49

These balm stains are drugstore and you can find them at Target, Walmart, Walgreen's, and even Ulta. these stains are good they are not as pigmented as the chubby sticks from Clinique but they work just as well. To me they feel more like a tinted chap stick but with a little more pigmentation. I like these they are cheap and if you don't want to spend that much on the chubby sticks well this is a good alternative for you.

Pop Beauty Pouty Pop Crayon $25 for a package of 6  (4.17 each )

These crayons are really creamy, pigmented and fairly new to me. I received this product in my Ipsy July bag and I love it ever since. I really think these are really good but the downside to me is that I didn't find them sold separately just in a bundle and I really don't like to get makeup like that, another thing is that they only have 6 colors and most of them are fair color or nude, I would really love to see more bright and bold colors from them. One thing I do love is that for 6 you just pay 25 and that would mean each one would be approximately $4.17 each  so that's good. You can find these Pop crayons on their site http://www.popbeauty.co.uk....

NOW here are some swatches of the products I just talked about

HOW TO FIND PERFECT MASCARA!!!

Hey lovely addicts so today I wanted to talk about finding the perfect mascara... we have all tried like a million products of mascara and a lot seem to be a fail, sometimes we also find the perfect one and at the end of the day for some weird reason you still keep looking for another one or we tend to go to the next fad, so if you're lucky to find the perfect one just stick to that one and don't change it!. Anyways lets talk about the type of base mascara we need in our lives, so some of you girls are really lucky and have already gorgeous eyelashes they're long, full and curly so in reality you don't need it but if you still want to get a mascara then get a wet base one and you're probably thinking well what are those????? well mostly those are high end products and those are the one that disappoints me because I spend so much money and at the end of the day my lashes are not curled but that is because I have short thin lashes so the wet base mascara tend to make heavy and causes my eyelashes to uncurl. If you are in a budget then I find that getting wet mascara base in a drugstore is a little hard, drugstore mascaras are more dry based to me one which is better for my lashes and my pocket!!! Now you also know that dry base or formula are better for thin short lashes because its lighter so it doesn't weigh in you lashes, you can also get a wax formula that shouldn't weigh them in also.


Lets Talk about high end products and Drugstore products. High end like I said they are more wet base but if you look hard enough they do have dry base, I know that MAC has some dry based and  also the Balm, that's only if you want high end if not go to a drugstore   

Now drugstore brand are mainly to me dry base, I have bought so many mascaras and I'm always happy with all of them but sometimes I get disappointed, recently I bought the Maybelline The Rocket Express and I didn't like it I curled my lashes as usual and once I put the mascara on my eyelashes uncurled, the formula was too wet and that made it heavy :(... so girls with beautiful lashes this drugstore mascara if good for you......if you still have trouble finding the "RIGHT" one then ask for help, ask any makeup artist at your favorite makeup brand counter to help you look for your perfect mascara, it takes a lot of trial and error to find what is best for you.


So my beautiful Makeup Addicts I hope this was useful to you and please don't forget to follow me if you have any questions  please leave me a comment down below and don't forget I still have the Giveaway going on read the rest of my post!!!! and also to check out my YouTube channel.
