I have a drugstore lippie to share in today's post. This is the NYC expert last matte lip color in the shade Noho Matte Nude. 

This lipgloss has the comfort of a gloss with the opaque pigment quality of a matte lippie. It also has a normal doe foot applicator. 

While I have to agree that this Lippie is super pigmented it lacks being matte. I waited 5 minutes before taking these swatch photos and this is the sheen when I tilted my hand after the 5 minutes.

Thanks for hanging out with me today, until next time!

Barielle's prosina line is built to protect nails while adding color. The prosina line contains prosina, a specialized type of keratin that helps strengthen, protect and condition the nails. This line remains 5 free just like all of barielles colors. I found these formulas to be on the thin side, which I like for nail art & water marbling. I'll be trying these out in some water soon. Barielle has also released a signature line of nail and hand treatments. From a don't bite pro growth treatment to restorative hand cream, cuticle oil, base coats & strengthening creams there's something new for everyone. 

The Prosina nail color retail for $9 usd. 

The treatments are $15 usd.

You can find all of these and more on www.Barielle.com

The hard as steel line contains a blend of fruit and flower oils including pomegranate and purple vipors bugloss seed oil. They also include oxygen carriers. These were designed to be strengthening and ridge filling to hide imperfections. 

I have 9 colors to show you so let's get started.

 2 coats + top coat. 
3 thin coats to cover vnl + top coat. 
2 coats + top coat. 

The formulas on these are really nice. I will say as with any hardener or strengthening base coats or colors, I wouldn't wear these consecutively for weeks on end because they can make your nails brittle. Or at least that's been my experience while using too many strengthening products. 

My favorite: My Best Self-Portrait. I love a good delicate shade! 

These are numbered, I will leave the Rimmel color description under each swatch. Onto the lippies!
