My Beauty Addiction Lipstick/Lip Paint Swatches - Pink-A-Boo, Taupuccino, Another Brick In The Wall


I don't know about you guys but it has been freezing cold this whole week here in Wisconsin, with temperature and windchill down to -25. Well, it's still cold today as well and God knows how much longer we have to endure this but I am praying for warmer temps soon! With that said, I am much happier to stay nice and warm at home because going out there in this bitter cold is just brutal. So glad they closed the schools Thursday and Friday but I still ended up sending my kids on Tuesday and Wednesday. I did not want them to freeze their butts out in the cold waiting for the school bus.

So during Black Friday, I took the opportunity to order more lipstick and lip paint from My Beauty Addiction. I love the fast shipping and overall quality of these products. I feel that the formula is really at its best when you order them in the pot because they are much more dense, creamy, and easier to apply. I have a few in the slim tube packaging and just don't feel like the texture is as nice.

These normally go for $5.50 a pot, which is a pretty affordable and reasonable price. You can get them for a little less during a sale or promotion.



Pink-A-Boo, Taupuccino, Another Brick In The Wall


Pink-A-Boo is a medium pastel cool-toned pink with a little hint of violet and a cream finish. I think it would probably look more flattering for light to medium light skin tone but hey if you dig the color, no matter your skin color, the formula is very creamy and nicely pigmented.




Taupuccino is a medium cool toned brown with cream finish. I was hoping this color would look taupe but it definitely looks more brown in real life. It's actually more wearable than you think. Again, nice creamy and pigmented formula.




Another Brick In The Wall is a brick red with warm undertone and a cream finish. Excellent pigmentation and creamy formula. Would be perfect for the fall season.





Lastly, I also received a free eyeshadow sample. This is the shade Karma, a lovely medium purple with a nice satin sheen to it.

Tried these yet? Or plan on trying them soon?

MBA New Lipstick Shades Haul and Swatches - Fog'et About It, Teal With It, and Violet Riot



It's been a long week for me and working split shift just makes me feel like a zombie. Even though we just started to go back to our regular schedule, I still feel weak...sighhhh.

When I saw these new shades from My Beauty Addiction, I knew I had to get them so placed an order. Perfect time for Halloween but dang I don't have time to play with makeup either. Hopefully this weekend I can get some rest but seeing beautiful fall colors on my way to work every day makes me wanna go out and take some pictures before the wind blows them all away.




Fog'et About It is a medium grey with a blue undertone and cream finish. The pigmentation is excellent and opaque and the texture is creamy, easy to apply, and feels moisturizing and comfortable.








Teal With It is a medium dark blue teal with very subtle shimmers and cream finish. Again formula is nice, creamy, pigmented, and comfortable.






Violet Riot is a vibrant medium purple. This one will leave behind a bright pink stain behind, which is a bit annoying for me.








And lastly, a freebie with my purchase. I love it when companies throw in free samples. Jealous is a bright light green with yellow undertone.

My Beauty Addiction Haul and Swatches - Medusa Lip Paint, Violetta Lipstick, Emerald Lipstick



Happy Sunday! I'm back with some goodies and swatches as promised!

I hauled some more lippies from MBA. What can I say? The price is right, shipping is quick, and I like them.
If you want to try unconventional lip colors without breaking the bank, My Beauty Addiction got you covered with lots of shade range, including traditional lip colors as well. The lipsticks come in a regular lipstick tube, jar, or petite slim tubes. The choice of packaging is up to you and prices varies but personally so far I like them in the jar. They feel creamier and are much easier to apply.




I got the shade Medusa ($5.50), which is a medium dark green with subtle shimmers and slightly warm undertone. The formula is very creamy, fairly pigmented, and feels moisturizing and comfortable.








I picked up the shade Violetta ($5.00) in the petite lipstick packaging. It's a dark reddish plum with grey undertone and a slight frosty finish. Formula is creamy but applies slightly blotchy. Pigmentation is good but you need a couple swipe to get a more opaque finish. One thing I noticed about this lippie is that it had a stronger synthetic scent. It bothers me a bit but I do love the shade though.







On my previous haul, I got a sample of the shade Emerald ($5.50). I decided to get the full size jar this time around. If you wish you see the swatch for Emerald, please click HERE to go to my previous post.



I received a free sample of their loose eyeshadow in the shade Cancun. It's a light baby blue with a subtle shimmer.

My Beauty Addiction Cosmetics Lipsticks and Lip Paint Swatches




The other day, when I told my son that I was expecting a package in the mail, he asked if it was makeup and I said yes. And he also asked why do we girls have to have so many colors and I said, because of the different texture and formula they come with. And he said "So it's like Pokemon but for makeup, gotta catch them all!" lol.

I am back with the swatches on my recent haul with MBA Cosmetics lipsticks and lip paint products. If you missed the haul post, you can view it HERE for more pictures and other details.
My swatches varies a bit from the seller's swatches. I find them similar in color but their seem to be more opaque, smoother, and more vibrant than mine. Other than that, I am still pleased with the creaminess and color payoff of these unconventional lip colors. Some have a thicker texture than others but they're all creamy and easy to apply and have a dose of shine to them. They are unscented but I can detect a subtle synthetic scent to them. They have no taste. I can't attest to how long they wear since I didn't test their longevity.

They come in a jar packaging (5 g for $5.50), slim tube (3.5 g for $5.00), or lipstick tube ($7.50).




Indigo HD Lip Paint Jar (5 g)- dark bluish purple with a sheen. It looks a bit more purple on me than the swatch on the seller's website. It also looks bold and shiny. Formula is very creamy and has a very good color pay off. This one will leave a pink stain behind. 






Kohl Color Rich Lipstick Jar (5 g) - opaque black lipstick with a cream finish. It feels a little thicker but still has a creamy consistency that makes it easy to apply. It's perfect for mixing with other colors if you want to darken them.






Skooldayz HD Lip Paint Jar (5 g) - bright primary yellow with a cream finish. I was afraid that it might apply patchy because of the color but to my surprise, it had a pretty even application. The formula is a little thicker but creamy and very pigmented. 






Emerald Color Rich Lipstick sample - It's a medium emerald green with a frosty/metallic finish. It looks a bit darker on the seller's website swatch but lighter on me. Surprisingly, I really liked how it looks but I would prefer it a bit darker. I will have to mix it with Khol or Breathless to get the color I want. Formula is creamy and very pigmented.






Glamazon Color Rich Lipstick sample - a shimmery pale gold with a frosty finish. Color is pretty close to the seller's swatch. Formula is creamy and pigmented. Because it's a lighter shade, I find that it will highlight dryness and creases on lips. Definitely need to exfoliate and prime lips prior to applying this lip color. I've always wanted a gold lipstick, this one is a bit pale for me. I think a deeper gold will look more flattering.





Gunmetal Rich Lipstick sample - black with silver shimmers and frosty/metallic finish. I wished it was lighter. It looks more black than grey and it is just a smidgen lighter than Kohl. I can barely tell the difference between the two. The shimmers in Gunmetal are also quite subtle. Both are very shiny and look too similar I think. If you get one, you probably won't need the other. Formula is creamy and pigmented.






Heliotrope Color Rich Lipstick Slim Tube (3.5 g)  - medium berry pink with a purple undertone and subtle pink shimmers. It's not as deep or as intense as the seller's swatch. I had to warm up the tube and swiped 2 or 3 layers in order to get the flow of color going. It's fairly creamy and has good pigmentation. I love the color though I wished it looked more like the seller's swatch.






Breathless HD Lip Paint Slim Tube (3.5 g) - Dark greyish blue with a slight metallic sheen. It's definitely not as blue or as intense as the seller's swatch but it's still a gorgeous unique shade nonetheless. Formula is creamy and pigmented. 






Sugar Babies Jojoba lip glaze in the shade Candy Baby (free sample) - this is a light baby pink with a silvery sheen to it. The gloss feels a little thick but applies smoothly, has good pigmentation, and doesn't feel sticky. It has a sweet candy smell to it, like cotton candy. I'm usually not fond of frosty pink shades but this one doesn't look too bad on me I think.

Watchu think? Would you try any of these?
