L’Oreal Colour Riche Le Matte Lipcolour Stick in Game, Set & Matte, and She’s So Matte : Swatches & Review

PURCHASED
L’Oreal Colour Riche Le Matte Lipcolour Stick in Game, Set & Matte, and She’s So Matte
The Maybelline Lip Studio Color Blur's retail for $9.99US or $10.99CAN (at Zerhs) to $12.99CAN for 0.092 oz. of product. The full shades range of Matte For Me, She’s So Matte, Game Set Matte (Game, Set & Matte on Canadian label), Mad For Matte, and Matte-r Of Fact has been launched in Canada this past week... after the initial launch in the US last June (almost 6 months later).

I'm guess they are permanent now because with such a delayed launch outside the US they where probably only recent thinking of expanding it to the full line of products and tweaking the labeling as well.

Wolfe FX Hydrocolor Makeup in Essential, Metallix, Skinz, and Blacklight : Swatches & Review

Wolfe FX Hydrocolor Makeup in Essential, Metallix, and Blacklight.
These Hydrocolor makeup come in 4 sizes I have mostly the Appetizer 5g / .17 oz for $3US and $4CAN for the regular shades and $4US and $5CAN for the metallics.

But the retail prices run at Small 30g / 1 oz for 8US and $10.50CAN, Medium 45g / 1.5 oz for $11US and $14.50CAN, and Large 90g / 3 oz for $19US and $25 to $28 CAN.

The pre-made palette retail for $30US for the 12 pan (Appetizer) which comes to 2 thin paint brushes, I've got my 2 palettes from anywhere from $28CAN to $40CAN. $16US and $21CAN for the 6 Appetizer palette which comes with 1 thin paint brush. These are the best way to purchase the Appetizer pans if you're looking to have a number of shades in a smaller pan size.

The only overlap between these pre-packed palettes was the shade 019 Saddle Brown in the Essential 12 pan and the Skinz 6 pan palettes to keep aware of.
I grabbed all the original core shades they came out with except 085 Plum.

But Wolfe FX has recently added a colour expansion to their line in the Essential and Metallix shade range. I'm not sure when I'll get those as I buy my Hydrocolor Makeup through local Southern Ontario Vendors and it takes awhile for the to restock as it more of an "as needed" shipments to their stores. I really want a Large of Bone!

Kevyn Aucoin The Contour Book The Art of Sculpting + Defining Volume I : Swatches & Review

Kevyn Aucoin The Contour Book The Art of Sculpting + Defining
The Kevyn Aucoin The Contour Book The Art of Sculpting + Defining retails for $59US and $71CAN for 0.04 oz The Sculpting Powder in Medium,  0.08 oz The Celestial Powder in Candlelight, 0.06 oz The Celestial Powder in Starlight, 3 x 0.06 oz Eyeshadows.

BUT the Kevyn Aucoin The Contour Book The Art of Sculpting + Defining Volume II is on for $64US and $78CAN which does contain more product with the addition of cream and larger highlight and contour pans but smaller eyeshadow pans. You get 0.17 oz The Celestial Powder in Candlelight , 0.04 oz The Celestial Powder in Starlight 0.16 oz The Creamy Glow in Candlelight, 0.16 oz The Sculpting Cream, 0.16 oz, The Candlelight Cream 0.14 oz The Sculpting Powder, 4 x 0.04 oz Eyeshadow.

The reason I mention this is the product are identical to the first Kevyn Aucoin The Contour Book (minus the creme products) so volume 2 is a much better deal product wise.
