Haul & Review: I Am Sin.

I finally placed an order from I Am Sin.

I Am Sin is owned by Masuimi Max, one of the first pin-ups/alternative/fetish models I ever followed on social media. She's been a big inspiration of mine for years, I could write an essay about my gratitude for her but I'm going to stop myself and spare you all.

Review at the bottom but make sure to read the picture captions.

Vegan and Cruelty Free.

The shades I got. Each lipstick is 5.7 g/0.2 oz.
Comparison: SugarPill Liquid Lipsticks: 5.4 ml/0.18 oz,
Colour Pop Liquid Lipsticks: 3.2 g/0.11 oz,
Kat Von D Liquid Lipsticks: 6.6 ml/0.22 oz.

Packaging.

Applicator, it's a stiff doe foot with minimal fluff.
This is actually how I prefer my applicators for direct application, it gets the right amount of product for a full lip application (for my medium sized lips). I've not needed to use a brush with these which have automatically made them staples in my purse.

Left to Right: Lady, Boss and Bite.

The review:

So fangirling apart, these are probably my favorite lipsticks to date. The formula is like nothing I've tried before. It doesn't feel like it dries down but it doesn't transfer, it's the weirdest thing! By far the most comfortable transfer proof lipstick I've worn to the point that I get surprised walking past a mirror and seeing myself wearing lipstick! They're really long lasting and I've tested them hard. They do not stain while drinking but do wear off with grease as they all do. Doesn't get horrible when touching up (cracking and dry) but I'd recommend using your finger for a touch up as it applies thinner and you can just dab on where you need without caking it on the old application (I do this for all my liquid lipsticks). They apply beautifully, I ALWAYS prep my lips with a gentle scrub and a plumping balm as a mask for a few minutes before wiping it off for a lipstick. I also blot away excess and these wear beautifully as a stain or faded edges Korean style.

I'd highly recommend these to fellow liquid lipstick lover.
But prep is crucial as is with all liquid lipsticks in my opinion.
Lady is the shade I've worn most followed by Boss and lastly Bite which is gorgeous but I'm not quite as exciting... The most I go out is for grocery shopping soooo.... Yeah.

I'm excited to see the line continue to grow and there are some gorgeous blushes I have in mind for a future order...

Let me know in the comments if you've tried anything from I Am Sin and what you recommend!

Haul: Darling Girl Cosmetics , second edition.

It's bedtime for me as I write this so I'm going to keep it short.

I wasn't in need of make-up and then magic appears in my Instagram feed (@cynthiaiskillikill). Damn it Susan!

So I ordered four of the new pressed mattes.

I'm sad and disappointed in myself for not getting them all.

I got a gloss which is amazing, will be searching it later this week.

Also ordered a new multi chrome thingy majiggy, which is ridiculous and I am so excited to get to wear more.

Everything is of high quality, the products are insanely pigmented and I actually swatched them without primer which I don't normally do as I can't wear shadows without so I don't want anyone thinking they're insanely pigmented if I have primer on.

I'm so impressed with the mattes, I was way too excited and had no self-control which resulted in a heavy dip into the brown shadow... I was not expecting it to be so intense! Tried to fix it by adding more mattes and made a mess. I'll try again tomorrow...

The GWP is Dark Horse, it's gorgeous!

And then a blush which I'm excited about as I have started using a lot more of it lately.

But that's my haul!

I'm off to bed before I go off rambling about food.

Gamma Ray as eyeliner topper.

See the shift?!

👌👌👌

What's in my make-up bag, travel edition.

After quite a few challenging hours the day before travelling I managed to narrow down my collection to a very basic but not so boring make-up bag.

For my base face I kept it simple as I do at home as I can't stand a stiff or dry face. For my primer I packed Evelyniona (I think that's the brand) Green Tea Primer which I'm a big fan of. It's not going to alter the skin texture but it does help products stick on for longer. I don't particularly care for making my pore less visible or fill lines and whatever, I'm fine with all that but I do want my blush and colour corrector to stay on until I decide to take it off.
For colour correction I brought my trusty Essence Cosmetics Colour Correcting Liquid Concealer in Pastel Yellow, Camouflage Cream Concealer in Natural Beige and Dr. Pickles Miraculous Beauty Dust in Green Glow and Pink Glow.
And I absolutely had to bring my new Baby Blush Lip & Cheek Tint in Dolly Wink from Darling Girl Cosmetics which I'm so happy with! Finally, a setting spray by Essence Cosmetics I still don't know how I feel about.

For my eye base I brought Primped & Primed by Darling Girl Cosmetics. BarryM On Point Precision Eyeliner, Ere Perez Waterproof Mascara and Kiko Milano Moon Shadow in 04.

For lip care I'm using Dr. PawPaw's Original Balm.
Lipsticks I brought are Kat Von D Beauty Bauhau5, Notoriously Morbid liquid lipstick in Ethereal, Colour Pop Lippie To Go in Bound/Cami and finally the Darling Girl Cosmetics Lip & Cheek tint in Dolly Wink.
