When I first saw swatches of these new Stila liquid eyeshadows, I knew I had to try one. I was tempted to grab more than one, but I've never been the biggest fan of Stila products, so I told myself to just try one at first. I'm glad I did just that, because there is no way I'll be buying another of these! Let me explain...

I have to say right off the bat, it's gorgeous. I picked the color Kitten Karma because I have had their Kitten eyeshadow in the past and really loved the color - it goes with anything! This glitter is that same champagne shade, and the actual liquid shadow part is that color as well.

The applicator is sort of an elongated doe foot - very soft and makes it easy to apply the product. The problem is within the product itself. It dries pretty fast, but as soon as it dries, it starts flaking off. It's like there's no adhesive in it whatsoever to help the glitter actually stay on your lids. I end up with glitter all under my eyes after only wearing it for an hour. And if you touch any of it by accident - say, to itch the corner of your eye or something - it will come off on your finger. If they could reformulate them to make them budge-proof, they would be top notch, two thumbs up, holy grail glitter shadows for me. However, it just makes such a mess that it's not worth the $24 price tag for me. I get much better results using a loose or pressed glitter with a glitter adhesive.

See how pretty it is?! SUCH a bummer that it didn't work out for me. I had high hopes! Let me know if you've tried any of them and what your experience has been, because I'm curious. I heard so many people rave about these, I'm wondering if I'm just doing something wrong!

I picked up mine from Ulta, and they have an "Ulta Exclusive" shade there (light pinky color) but they also have them on Sephora. It just depends which store you want points for!

I recently found out about a brand called Karity, and as soon as I saw their shadows I knew I needed to try some of them! I picked up the Diversity palette along with a few single shadows, and I wanted to review them for you today!

The first thing I want to mention is when you purchase a palette, you will get the magnetic palette and then all the shadows separately. They come in cardboard sleeves and you have to "build" the palette yourself.

The palette is pretty weighty and well made. It doesn't have a mirror on the inside of the lid, but it does have a magnetic closure.

I'll go over the shadows that come with the Diversity palette first:

The top 3 shades are Turkish Delight, Rush, and Glamazon.

Turkish Delight is a satiny medium pink shade. Rush (mine arrived broken unfortunately) is a bright matte orange, and Glamazon is a metallic yellow-gold.

The middle 3 shades are Viper, Enable, and Jinx.

Viper is a metallic lime green, Enable is a matte bright blue, and Jinx is a deep purple with multicolored shimmers.

The bottom 3 shades are Vino, Baby Habit, and Daisy Chain.

Vino is a semi-matte wine shade (it has more of a satin finish than matte), Baby Habit is an insane metallic bubblegum pink, and Daisy Chain is a cream with a satin finish.

Now for the single shades I picked out, Mary Jane:

This is a deep olive green with  slight gold sheen.

Merz is a pale gray with a pink opal iridescence.

This is such a unique color - I love it as an inner corner highlight!

Mr. Brownstone is a deep brown that has a slight pink shift in certain lights.

This one is so cool, it's got a very subtle pink in it that makes it such a neat shade.

ALL of these shadows are so insanely pigmented, and I love the way they apply and blend. I am so impressed with them, especially for the prices! The single shadows are only $4.50 each. For the quality of these babies, that's crazy! They have a wide range of palettes that go from $21 to $39.50. They even sell empty ones so that you can fill them with your own choice of single shades. I definitely recommend giving these a try - you won't be disappointed!

You can check out everything they have to offer at Karity.com.

I have tried their Perfect C serum before and love it, but the normal one is 17% so this one is a bit stronger. It's considered "professional level" and brightens the complexion while providing powerful antioxidant/anti-pollution/anti-aging benefits. Also, a little goes a long way with this stuff! You only need the tiniest bit (one pump) and you apply it to your face after cleansing. This is a .5 oz. container and retails for $52.

Then we have the Sun Shield Liquid Tint SPF 50

They sent both the Nude and Natural Tan shades, but Natural Tan is a bit dark for me, so I'm going to pass it onto one of my friends that will be able to use it :) The nude, however, is a perfect match for me.

This is a softly tinted 100% mineral sunscreen. It is pretty liquidy, but oh my gosh it sinks right in and feels like you put nothing on. I LOVE that about this product! As someone who burns pretty much from just stepping outside (lol) I always need to wear sunscreen on my face, especially if I'm going to be outside a lot. Most of the stuff I've tried makes my already oily skin just feel greasy and like I need to wash my face as soon as possible. This doesn't do that, and I am so excited about it! We're facing winter blizzard weather right now here in Massachusetts, but you can bet on it that I will be incorporating this into my daily routine this spring/summer!

Here's a look at a drop of it on my skin to try to show you the consistency of it, and then below is what it looks like after I've blended it out.

As you can see, it gives a little bit of a tint to the skin to give a healthy glow. This comes in a 1 oz. bottle and is $22.50.

Last but not least is the new Quick Clean Micellar Water. 

I love micellar waters. I think I've tried so many now, I couldn't even tell you how many are in my bathroom lol! I was so excited about the packaging on this one, because it has that easy little cup on top that you just put your cotton pad on and press to dispense the liquid. Simple, quick, and mess-free.

I love micellar waters because you can use them for so many things. I've been using this before I do my makeup in the morning to cleanse my eyelids of any oils before I do my primer and shadow. I use it to take off my makeup before I wash my face at night as well - it works great! This one in particular is infused with strawberry and kiwi fruit extracts to help hydrate, soften, and refresh your skin. It makes your face feel super clean without feeling like it's been stripped of moisture. This comes in a 4 oz. bottle and is $15.

All in all, I'm loving this new stuff from MyChelle! You can find their products at Mychelle.com, Whole Foods Market, select Ulta stores, and even Ulta.com

The Feline Fancy collection from Sugarpill is something I couldn't pass up. It has a creepy-cute cat on the front, the colors are right up my alley, and it's been a while since I've tried something new from Sugarpill, so I was pretty excited for it!

The packaging is just so cute. The outer box has the same cat artwork on as the palette, and the liquid lipstick and palette are stored in a pink inner pull-out carton.

I love that the mirror on the inside of the palette is heart-shaped. It's not huge or very practical, but it fits the aesthetic of the whole Valentine's Day palette theme, and it's very cute. The palette itself has a magnetic closure.

You get 4 shadows - they look huge but each one is 0.05 oz, the same size as a MAC shadow. I'm thinking it's just really thinly laid out in the pan because these pans are pretty big.

S.W.A.K. is a deep peach with a pink iridescence.

Winky is a spakly champagne. 

Text Me is a matte light brown.

Kiss Kiss is a deep metallic red.

Now here's the thing: these finger swatch awesomely. I've been having trouble, however, getting a couple of the shades to stick to my eyelids, even with a stickier primer. You DEFINITELY need a sticky primer or sticky base with them, which is unusual for Sugarpill because their shadows have always worked insanely well for me. 

S.W.A.K. is okay, but it take a bit to build it up on my eyes. Winky wants to just blend itself away the more you work with it. Text Me is nice and blends out well, but I have to apply a lot of it to achieve the color that it looks in the pan. Kiss Kiss is the stand out shade in the palette, no problems with this one. It is very similar to the crazy red "Swoon" from the Better Together palette by Too Faced and KVD, but this one leans more orange where Swoon is darker and a true red. While I do love these shades, I was a tad disappointed in their performance.

The liquid lipstick is called Strange Love and is once again a perfect liquid lipstick formula, I've mentioned this while reviewing the other liquid lipsticks that I have from Sugarpill, but I seriously wish they would come out with a full line of colors. They are SO comfortable to wear and just an awesome formula all around.

Strange Love is a deep brick red shade, perfect for Valentine's Day.

It has the same creamsicle scent that Trinket does. I notice that it applies very wet and liquidy, which was a bit of a worry at first - you can see in these lip swatches that I didn't wait for it to dry and you can sort of "see through" it because of the flash. In regular lighting, it looks perfectly fine.

However, once it dries it mattifies, which I'm not even sure is the right word to use here because this is a metallic lipstick. This is the only metallic liquid lipstick I've tried so far that actually looks like a metallic paint rather than a glittery liquid lipstick. It doesn't have all those shimmer particles that hang around after you've tried to take it off.

Another thing I love about these lipsticks is that they last so long, but are easy to remove. You can take a washcloth and just wet it with water, and you'll be able to take this off at the end of the day without scrubbing at your lips. That is just magical to me! Sugarpill has definitely got a handle on the liquid lipstick game - I can't wait to see what other colors they'll come out with!

I was really excited to try one of the new Urban Decay liquid lipsticks. They seem like the last brand to finally be jumping on the liquid lipstick bandwagon. I had seen a lot of bad reviews on these before trying them for myself, and I am pretty surprised about that.

The first thing I noticed was that the product itself looks tiny because the cap part is longer than the tube where the product is. It makes it look pretty small, but it's got .17 oz, so it's not much smaller than say, Sugarpill's liquid lipsticks, which have .18 oz.

The applicator is a long bent doe foot type applicator. I like it a lot because it's thin enough to get into the corners of your lips.

The color Backtalk is a very neutral pink, everyday color for me. When it dries it darkens up a bit, but it's still very much an everyday color.

The formula is really nice. I can't speak for the metallics because I haven't tried any of those yet, but this one in particular applied nicely with one coat. It does take a bit to dry, and I definitely recommend not touching or rubbing your lips together until it's dry.

Once it dries completely, it feels silky smooth to the touch. It is definitely transfer proof and super comfortable to wear. It doesn't dry out my lips at all, which I love! It's also super long lasting, but will need to be touched up if you eat anything. If you're looking for a liquid lipstick that is comfortable to wear and doesn't dry out your lips at all, this is definitely one to go for!
