MAC Cosmetics BOLD & BAD LASH REVIEW

KKW X Kylie Cosmetics Swatches and First Impressions: Kimberly, Kiki, Kim, Kimmie

May 7, 2017 Dom Kem

It was bound to happen. Kylie Cosmetics finally released a liquid lipstick collaboration with no other than Kim Kardashian. I have not purchased anything from Kylie Cosmetics for a while. Frankly, attempting to purchase items that almost always disappeared from my cart during checkout was not worth the headache. It was a completely different story, however, when images of this collaboration surfaced. Say what you will about Kim Kardashian, you cannot deny that her makeup is virtually flawless. I have always admired how beautifully she could pull off any look, whether it be soft and natural or full out glam. I worked at Sephora for nearly 5 years and one thing that customers always requested was a lipstick that looked like Kim Kardashian's. I remember reading once that her go to lipgloss was NARS' Turkish Delight and that was my go to recommendation for many years. Alas, she has finally released a collection of four gorgeous shades of nudes for the neutral lip lover. Read below for more images, swatches and my first impressions.

Viseart Theory Palettes: Nuance, Amethyst, Enamored & Ablaze Review and Swatches

April 22, 2017 Dom Kem

Viseart is on a fire with their newly released Theory Palette additions! Not only did they release two new eyeshadow palettes, Nuance and Amethyst to add to their collection, TWO new Theory Cheek palettes in Enamored and Ablaze also make their debut, offering a well coordinated trio that consists of a blush, highlighter and bronzer. If you are unfamiliar with the brand, Viseart is a Parisian makeup brand that traces its beginnings to French Television and film. They are a high-performance line with formulas that harness the best of natural and organic resources with modern technology. The brand was conceived out of a shared passion for healthy products that go back to the roots of beauty, to naturally enhance the skin rather than aging the skin with harmful chemicals. You will be happy to hear that these products are not tested on animals, contain organic ingredients, and they are free of silicone, petrochemicals, and mineral oil. All products are individually hand made in Paris, making them very Parisian chic in every sense of the word. I am a huge fan of their products; you can find my previous reviews here, here, and here. Today I am happy to share images and swatches of my new Viseart Theory Palette additions in Nuance, Amethyst, Enamored and Ablaze.
