</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is a review for Elf's Super Glossy lip shine. I have two of them Angel (clear) and Goddess (coral), and I would have to say that I actually quite enjoy these. They're not amazingly pigmented or anything but they do give a tint of color to the lips, and they're thick (but not sticky) so they tend to stay on the lips for a while. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

If you just use it on a clean face it doesn't do much of anything, but I will give it credit for one thing...</div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 0.6em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.6em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">This baby sucks up oil like there is no tomorrow.

(but then again, when it comes to face makeup it really depends on the person's skin)</div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 0.6em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.6em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">One thing I do have to mention about this product is that it claims to have a 'brightening' effect on your skin, but if you are dark complected that can be a bad thing and it can start to give you a kind of 'ashy' look. I'm rather fair, so it doesn't have a bad effect on me.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 0.6em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.6em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></div><ul><li style="text-align: left;"><b>I give this a 5 for neutralizing redness and whatnot</b></li>

You either swirl your brush in all four colors and apply to where it's needed (which is what I do) or you can, if you want, apply each individual color corrector to problem areas.<br />
I've done both and either way they don't show. =]</div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 0.6em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.6em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">And also I'm still in the middle of tipping my brushes, the one in the picture needs a second coat. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 0.6em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.6em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><b>Facebook</b> - <a href="http://www.facebook.com/TheePigmented">The Pigmented</a></div>thepigmentedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16401840059528931315noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2145732474522418787.post-7891721533727252762011-05-31T20:09:00.000-07:002011-05-31T20:28:40.117-07:00Sailor Neptune<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGm3Xe5Npl77kJZwERAMMg6rUg4b4Xj8c1LBuUdpg1Zd2JjVPhlslLM1IrhcBk_4voyduHOY0D45tgl7yfcBobbLsrri3fgjd5Pz7eWHMKG5EaAQNXq7ksKWKIzX2TyGwIEQGiCMPceQ/s1600/SAM_1215.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGm3Xe5Npl77kJZwERAMMg6rUg4b4Xj8c1LBuUdpg1Zd2JjVPhlslLM1IrhcBk_4voyduHOY0D45tgl7yfcBobbLsrri3fgjd5Pz7eWHMKG5EaAQNXq7ksKWKIzX2TyGwIEQGiCMPceQ/s320/SAM_1215.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This is my first blog post and I thought I should say a little bit about myself. My name is Leann and I'm 20 years old. I was attending beauty school (yes "was", maybe that will be a post at a later date.) but not anymore. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I have had an interest in makeup my entire life and because of that I spend countless hours watching makeup gurus on youtube, researching makeup, and practicing makeup on myself and others. I tend to be a perfectionist when it comes to makeup and take it very seriously. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Some of my biggest inspirations are makeup gurus such as the following:</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 0.6em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.6em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0.6em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.6em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></div><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/petrilude">Petrilude</a> - He was the </span><b style="font-size: x-large;">first </b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">guru I watched and even though I already had an interest for makeup he fueled my already-building addiction. He is also the reason I became interested in special effects makeup </span></span></span></li>
</ul><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 21px;"><br />

She continues to inspire me with everything she does. I think she should be so much more well known than she is. Seriously, check her out if you haven't before. She's amazing.</span></span></li>
</ul><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large; line-height: 21px;"> </span><br />

Everything she does is simply beautiful. From her Costume Makeup to her How-To's, she has taught me so much. On a side note, she is a great mother and I hope she and her kids have a great life. She's the type of person I wish I could be more like. </span></span></li>
