liked some of the products this month, I have to say the item I was

personal preference. Overall I like this months bag and rate it an

Elizabeth Mott -
All Over Shadow Brush in Pink
The brush is quite
soft and while it isn't super firm it isn't flimsy either it holds a
good amount of product and does a good job in blending as well.
Overall 8/10
Hikari Cosmetics –
Mechanical Eye Liner in Storm
The liner itself is
pretty firm and isn't amazingly creamy. The colour is a very light
silver more than it is a grey and it isn't super pigmented but if you
are willing to go over it multiple times you will get some colour out
of it. I think I need to play with it more but so far I am not super
impressed. Overall 7/10
(Malin+Goetz) –
Mojito Lip Balm
The balm has a
thicker consistency and has a kinda artificial limey smell, it is
sticky but that is a typical problem with thicker cream type balms.
It was exactly what my lips needed right now between between me being
so sick and winter deciding it actually wanted to start happening
lately. I like it for when you need some extreme hydration but on an
every day basis it would be way too much. Overall 8/10
Pacifica – Natural
Mineral Coconut EyeShadow in Ethereal
The shadow while
not being what I would call creamy is certainly velvety and it does
pack quite a bit of pigment for a light shadow especially when I
compare it with the other pacifica shadow that I have tried in the
past. It certainly isn't a colour that would work as anything other
than a highlight or a base but for those two purposes it certainly
does it's job. Overall 7/10
Velvet 59 – Velvet
Rose Lipgloss in Noisette
I'm going to be
doing a full review for this product so I'll make this quite brief. I
had been told the scent was unpleasant and I very much disagree with
that. It has a very classic smell to it and reminds me of watching my
grandmother doing her makeup. I love the brush and while the gloss
was super sticky on my hand it isn't sticky at all on my lips. I love
it and I can't wait to see more from this brand! Overall 9/10
