Playing up my complexion was never easier after my first experience with the three Succulence of Dew Sheer and Colour Burst Lipsticks from Rouge Bunny Rouge. The colors that this independent European beauty brand captured enchanted me with how they took to my lips for some instant glamour.

Starting on the left are the two Succulence of Dew Sheer Lipsticks with #087 Musings followed by #089 Jasmine-Weighted Air in the middle followed by the Color Burst Lipstick in #018 Raw Silence.

The Succulence of Dew Sheer Lipsticks ($29) line consists of nine shades of which I received two. #087 Musings is a gorgeous pink nude with just enough juicy peach to invite kisses with how tempting this natural color is.

How do you like #087 Musings?

#089 Jasmine-Weighted Air is a riveting fuchsia pink that is vibrant, but yet a whimsical vision once the ultraviolet emerges within its dreamlike proportions.

#089 Jasmine-Weighed is a lovely, bright shade that will the wearer feel like a princess.

On my lips, the Succulence of Dew formula felt delightfully lightweight and glided up effortlessly.  These lipsticks were richly colored and shiny, but laid down their weightless pigments more in a sheer manner than heavily coating the lips with thick, heavy color.  The way this color was delivered gave a fresher, lush look to my lips that lasted for about five hours before I wanted to reapply.

Starting on the left is #018 Raw Silence, the Colour Burst Lipstick with #087 Musings in the middle and ending with #089 Jasmine-Weighed Air on the right.  

#018 Raw Silence is one of the Rouge Bunny Rouge’s line of Colour Burst Lipsticks ($29).  This is a standout true red that is on the cool side when going for knockout ruby lips.  The formula is highly pigmented as well as wonderfully hydrating with a plant-based active ingredient enriched with an exclusive, patented shea butter that is capable of extra smoothness.  As far as how long this color wore, I estimate about four hours or so from morning until lunch.  Although there was still some pigment on my lips like a stain, I loved the moisturizing feel against my lips in its formula so I treated my lips to a fresh application.

When looking to enhance your beauty with some sensational cosmetics, I do suggest visiting Rouge Bunny Rouge because their colors and style along with performance add a sophisticated touch that will give you something extra.

Stunning Effects With Ellis Faas Cosmetics CreamyE129 (Peachy Skin) and LightE303 (Bronze) Eye Shadow Pens (Review)--Photos + SWATCHES!

I found a sure fire way to power up eyes and add some sizzle to your look.  Let me tell you about the latest batch of products that showed up at my door from Ellis Faas Cosmetics because what these shadows can do for your eyes with the way they can bounce off light and take advantage of color is truly astounding.  

It is easy to see why Ellis Faas received such worldwide fame as a makeup artist.  She truly understands how to maximize a woman's beauty through color based on shades the human body produces.  With her gifted eye, her artistry is visibly apparent and seems to filter through her entire line of luxury cosmetics.

A prime example is CreamyE 129 (Peachy Skin) Eye Pen.  Once clicked and that luscious color flows to the tip of this silver bullet pen, the color appears to be a fleshy tone of true peach with equal portions of pink to yellow.

At first, I wasn't sure if the shade would better work as a base color or one to highlight with--and then I tried it on my lids.  Like a chameleon, I saw this shade change as it brightened with almost a surreal glow.  My eyes instantly lit up with a soft, gleaming array of sheer pink, beige, and yellow tones, which was mesmerizing to say the least.  If you want to paint perfection for a romantic look, CreamyE 129 can help you achieve that goal.

I also found another LightE 303 (Bronze) Eye Pen inside my box.  This has a beautiful metallic quality.  Imagine a bronze color like liquid metal for the eyes streaming with a small rainbow of color for even extra impact.  Read my earlier review to get my full take on LightE 303.

You do need to need to work fast applying these pens because these shadows do dry quickly.  However, these shadows can be worn for hours without ever creasing.   Feel confident to skip wearing a primer because these Ellis Faas Eye Pens won't fade, crease, or melt until you choose to take them off.

The only fault I can find with these eye pens is all the needed clicking before those glorious colors flow.  

The CreamyE 129 (Peachy Skin) retails for $36 and the LightE (Bronze) Eye Pen can be had for $42.  Though a bit steep, the price is justified once you experience those breathtaking results yourself!  

Have you tried Ellis Faas Eye Pens yet?   Do visit their website and treat yourself.  Ladies, you can thank me later.

I had my first taste of Beauté Cosmetics when I got to sample several of their fabulous lip products.  This time I had the privilege to experience another product from their Desert Eve Collection with a Radiant Blush Powder Luxury Compact in Phoenix.  Now that I have tried this rich pink-coral blush, I am becoming addicted to their products!

This lively, bright shade can mimic the type of flush you get from exercise or when excited.  What you get from this silky textured powder is a seductive pinkish glow once you dust some on the apples of your cheeks that has a gorgeous, delicate gleam.  

It does go somewhat sheer, but is easy to build upon if needed.  Furthermore, this formula stayed true on me with my other makeup for hours without fading or melting, which endeared it to me even more.

The compact won't disappoint either.  The blush is housed in a hard plastic case with a mirror that can survive being thrown in your handbag along with your other beauty necessities without fear it will be shattered or crack. 

In fact, this Violet-Noire Luxury Compact is a refillable and interchangeable case.  You will save some money later on when you need to repurchase--and I think you will once you see the sexy glow from this product on your own face!

Ladies, Beauté Cosmetics got it right with Phoenix for capturing that look of sexy exertion and rush of blood to your cheeks with this color.  Trust me, but you need to check this out.  The Radiant Blush Powder Luxury Compact retails for $50 and will give you that sought after seductive glow that is so inviting!

I Just Increased My WOW Factor--Ellis Faas Cosmetics Light Eye Pens (E301 and E303) for Subtly Chic or Dramatic Impact! (Review) Photos + Swatches!

Ellis Faas definitely knows how to play up eyes and create a sensation with her Light Eye Pens.  This highly acclaimed Dutch makeup artist manages to blend and refine light and color so effortlessly that these Light Eye Pens seem to also share that radiance with your entire face.  I was fortunate to review two from the five shades in that line to share with you, E301 and E303.

This is E303

Just like the Creamy Lip Pens I reviewed, these Light Eye Pens also come in a silver bullet-like tube.  However, these have a plastic brush that the thick liquid flows to instead of a sponge.  

E301 is metallic liquid metal almost like casting your eyes with molten silver and beige peeking through.  

E303 is a gleaming array of bronze light with gold intertwined to make it even more dazzling.  The color viewed in a certain light has traces of blue, violet, and pink-red.

Here is a swatch of E301

These pens do take a bit of clicking before the color flows for the first time.  Nonetheless, the effort is worth it for that gorgeous multidimensional color.

I did notice these liquid shadows do have a tendency to dry quickly so you need to hurry and work.   Taking a small dab of the shadow from the loaded plastic bristles, I applied to my lids using my finger as my tool and blended.  When I was through with a thin layer, the look was subtly chic whereas too heavily piling up the layers makes it quite dramatic.  How you want to alter the look is up to you!

These shadows also hold up remarkably long without creasing.  I am talking about lasting all day even without a primer. 

I already  have my sights on the three remaining others in this line to give you an idea of how much I liked these pens.  Yet, I am torn between my first choice the E302 (the green-gold) to the E305 (the turquoise-burgundy) or the E304 (violet-lilac).  What are your favorites?

These Ellis Faas Light Eye Pens retail for $42 each.  If you haven't experienced these yet, you need to do so!

A Beauty Sensation Worth Your Attention! Meet My New Must-Have Lippies! Ellis Faas Cosmetics Creamy Lip Pens Review--Photos + Swatches!

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

This is L 101 Lip Pen

Based in the Netherlands, Ellis Faas is a cosmetic company started by the highly acclaimed makeup artist in a line that takes color to a new frontier with her talents.  Instead of saddling us with artificial color, Ellis bases her inspirations on colors the body produces naturally.  The result means a more complimentary cosmetic when it comes to best working with your skin tone.  A prime example of such artistry comes shining through with the Creamy Lip Pens that I was privileged to review.

These lip colors come in silver bullet-like tubes that you swivel up for the color to flow to the sponge applicator.  You can control how much of that brilliant color easily enough by how much of the product you want to release. 

The two Creamy Lip Pens sent were L 101 (a deep blood red)  and L 105 (a flattering rusty brown).  The colors look slightly darker on the surface of the sponge until it hits your lips for an amazing impact with an intense shine.  At the same time, these well-pigmented pens left my lips plumped and moisturized.

Next, I am modeling L 101

I never found any tacky stickiness or experience any smearing, flaking, or escaping product over my lip line while wearing them. 

This product has wonderful lasting power.  I put it on in early morning after breakfast and kept it on through lunch without too much damage.  The lip color does come off but does it evenly with grace to leave behind a beautiful stain. 

I thought there was enough color to wear alone.  However, I thought I would do a little retouching.  Since I didn't throw that new tube in my handbag, I took out my clear lip balm and did a little retouching. 

When I was through, my lips still dripped with a slightly paler version of that haunting blood red color.  My mouth looked incredible and so inviting.

I truly love my new lippies.  If you want to discover sexy color that can effortlessly transform ordinary into extraordinary, I highly recommend looking into Ellis Faas Cosmetics and these Creamy Lip Pens.  They retail for $35 each and are now one of my beauty staples!
