Whitening Lightning Lipgloss Review

Hi ladies! Lately I've been trying out these three lip glosses from Whitening Lightning and I thought I'd share with you what I thought about them. These lip glosses are supposed to increase lip volume, reduce lip wrinkles and be super moisturizing; lets put them to the test! 

As far as increasing lip volume, they do not have that tingling sensation that a lot of lip plumpers do--which is a very good thing! However, I haven't noticed my lips looking any bigger (though I do have a large bottom lip to start with..). By "decreasing lip wrinkles" I think it merely means that when you apply these lip glosses they do not settle into your fine lines--instead, they make your lips appear seamless. I do not think they actually 'get rid' of wrinkles, but they are very moisturizing and look great. Did I mention how incredibly pigmented they are? LOVE that! Very impressed when I see a lip gloss with this much pigmentation.

The three colors I have here are Nude, Salmon and Fiji.

I also, love the packaging. I have never seen a lip gloss with a built-in light! HOW COOL! It also comes with a little mirror on the side. Now lets take a look at how they actually look ON the lips, because I think that's the most important thing. 

"Nude" is most definitely by favorite. A perfect nude color is so classic and matches any makeup look.

With "Fiji", you can really see how pigmented these lip glosses are. I mean, how many light pink lip glosses actually LOOK light pink? I'm going to love wearing this one come summer time. 

 Last but not least, is "Salmon". I saved it for last because its my least favorite of the three. Normally, I don't go for lipsticks or glosses with an orange tint. As you can see, I feel it brings out the yellow in my teeth, which is something nobody wants!

Overall, I would definitely recommend these lip glosses! Now, they do retail for $38 which is quite expensive for a lipgloss. It better be darn near perfect for almost forty dollars. Time to celebrate-- I have a 70% off code for you all (WhiteningLightning always have awesome combo deals too)! It's good for anything on their website. All you have to do is use code Sunshine at checkout. ENJOY!

Get The Look: Lorac Pro Palette Dupes

Hi guys! Today I filmed one of my favorite and most-requested makeup tutorials! Every time I wear this in a video I get so many compliments and requests--so voila, here it is:

Now to achieve this look, I use my Lorac Pro Palette. But that would be a bummer for all of you who want to get this look and don't have this palette. DUN-DUN-DA! I'm here to the rescue. I've put together some drugstore dupes for you that will get you this same look. Some of them aren't identical, but fit the same color scheme and are pretty darn close.

     

 

Top: "Champagne" from the Lorac palette. Light glittery pink.


Bottom: Covergirl "Sheerly Nudes" quad, second color from the right. Not quite as pigmented but definitely close.





 Top: "Mauve" Lorac palette. Matte color.

 Middle: Wet N' Wild "Silent Treatment" bottom color of the trio. Gorgeous mauve color with shimmer.

Bottom: "Tease" Naked 2 palette. Deep mauve matte color.  

 Top: "Pewter" Lorac Pro Palette. Really a unique purple-y brown color.

Middle: Maybelline Stylish Smokes Quad "Lavender Smokes" Bottom liner color. More purple than Pewter but will fit nice with this look.

Bottom: Maybelline Modern Metallics Quad. "Sunlit Bronze" Bottom liner color. Almost perfect match just a little less brown.
