Getting lippie: reviewing Le Monster Matte Lip Crayon in Fire Me, by Haus Laboratories.

"This full-coverage, creamy formula strikes in one swipe with unexpected comfort and lightweight matte payoff, wrapping lips in smoother, fuller-looking color you can sink your teeth into" - Haus Lab  

MATTE COMES ALIVE 

Each MONSTER goes on smooth, then dries down morphing from creamy application to a budge-proof matte finish. 

COLOR, CRUSHED 

The lip-boosting complex and crushed pigments combine to attack lips in one swipe with fuller, smoother-looking payoff that keeps its grip. 

COVERAGE THAT KILLS 

Get matte and stay even with water-resistant, streak-free, budge-proof coverage.

EOTD: the Stupid Love eyeshadow palette, by Haus Laboratories.

I'm in the mood for colour for the end of summer, but also in going grungy for autumn (as far as I'm concerned, it is autumn), so I wanted to play with a cool greeny blue and a grey-tinged neutral to mesh the two themes together.

For today's EOTD post, I want to share one of my attempts at mixing two matte shades together to make a new shade. 

This is a great example of how to get the most out of the blue shades on offer in this palette, when you just  don't feel like wearing blue eyeshadow - mix it with the pink, to make a tone in the purple family xx

Today I want to showcase the shades in the Stupid Love palette that I haven't yet featured on the blog. 

The Stupid Love eyeshadow palette sold out quickly on the Haus Laboratories website, so I rushed the testing for my testing period after it launched on Amazon UK, in order to write my review and get it posted before the palette sold out - and I didn't get any decent photos when I wore these shades (whining about my camera is in the previous post), so I'm attempting to do a decent recreation today...

I had a bit of a productive morning - I've sellotaped my camera up along the loose base and it's now working again. Sorta working - the view finder is black, so I just have to point  the camera in the right direction & take loads of photos,  and hope that a few of them are in focus & balanced lighting.

Back to the subject of today's post; I'm making the most out of my camera's last leg, by posting some promised photos of a non-blue look with the new Stupid Love palette.

A not-so-stupid love? [reviewing the Stupid Love eyeshadow palette, by Haus Laboratories].

We want you to color your own world. Escape into STUPID LOVE and embrace your color story with 18 shades of full-intensity pigment, inspired by Lady Gaga’s sixth album Chromatica. 

Colors in cool and warm tones clash and come together in new ways each time you create, taking your look from subtle pop to bold celebration. In this HAUS of color, you make the rules, with multiple finishes and silky smooth textures that unite to put the power of love in your hands - Haus Labs.

 For the brand's first limited edition palette, they've focused on blue and teal tones and have added coordinating neutrals in a mix of warm & cool light, medium & dark tones, to make the colour story more wearable. 

This was the first cosmetic item in four months that interested & excited me, so the brand is already scoring points for the interesting colour story and presentation,  plus I've enjoyed all of the other products I have from the brand. Being the  first cosmetic product to  make me go "ohh" in four months doesn't sound like something impressive to most people, but I'm someone with severe depression, anxiety, PTSD and a couple of long-term physical health issues, who spent years buying something new every other week to give myself to look forward to, so to lose interest in my usual vices for a while and not miss them, means that this really stood out to grab & hold my interest. 

Has the reality lived up to my expectations?

Hmm; so how does the Metallic Creme liquid eyeshadow formula differ from the brand's Liquid Shimmer liquid eyeshadow formula, and why does the price between the two formulas vary by £2 [the Metallic Creme range is the slightly more expensive one]?

This was the question on my mind when I first saw the four-piece Metallic Creme range, which was introduced last winter. I decided that the best way to settle my curiosity about the formulas, was to try the new-to-me one for myself.

So lets go and find out...

I'm addicted to a life of material... [reviewing the Glam Room no. 1: The Fame eyeshadow palette, by Haus Laboratories]

"Unlock your FAME in the new GLAM ROOM PALETTE NO. 1. 

With 10 matte, metallic, shimmer, and sparkle finishes made to perform on every skin tone, this universal palette gives you the power to play up every persona. Silky smooth, blendable shades range from warm pale peach and rose gold to cool plums and deep black for an ensemble of colours ready to envelop you in a new identity each time you want to reinvent yourself"


Haus Laboratories released their first powder eyeshadow in a palette format late last year and being that I really enjoy the formulas for the other product from the brand I have, I was keen to get the palette and try the shadow formulas out.

Today we're taking another look at products from Haus Laboratories; the new cosmetics brand by Lady Gaga.

For this post I'm focusing on the product combo to pick up this festive season, for either yourself or for those hunting for the perfect nude & glossy lip...

So; Lady Gaga launched her own beauty brand in August and naturally I'd pre-ordered a three-piece set.

Today I want to focus on what I think is the star product in the selection, something I've worn quite a few times now and get compliments from strangers when I wear when out and about...
