REVIEW: Models Prefer Lipstick in After Party

Another day, another bright lipstick to show you. I am obsessed, truly obsessed.

The other week my beloved Priceline had a deal on 2 products for 30% off and I wanted to test out the new Models Prefer BB Cream (which I did and reviewed). So I was under the pump to pick up something else, i'm not one to pass up a deal! So lipstick it was... why? I don't know I just mother freaking love lipstick right now.

Have you heard me bang on about one of my fave limited edition lippies Revlon Melonade? Well i'm kinda obsessed with it and obsessed with finding dupes because it's kind of impossible to find. So anything corally red will always be on my radar. Hoping for a dupe...this is not a dupe FYI so that whole paragraph was kind of pointless!

Hand full of swatches later I picked up Models Prefer Lipstick in After Party - RRP $9.99AUD

The colour is bright, leaning more towards an orange based coral red (do they give awards for colour descriptions? I'd totes get one... ). It's one of those brighten up the face shades that I lurrrrrve. 

The formula of the lipstick is actually pretty impressive for the price, nice and creamy. Wear is also good lasting through my morning coffee with no issues, after that would be time to re-apply.

Okay so something I really really dislike is the packaging, mainly the lid and that little button type thing you can see in my picture above... Pretty sure I broke it the first day I got it, it's really useless and makes absolutely no sense to me why it's there? I'm guessing they are trying to look fancy with the packaging but this really brings it down in my opinion and the fact that I now can't close it properly because of my fumbly fingers makes me use this lipstick less then others in my collection. *RANT OVER*.

Let's look at swatches because I know that's why your really here!

Looking up into the sky, wishing for better packaging....

Now a glimpse into the #lifeofabeautyblogger ... sometimes you swatch things really late at night (for your reference I did these at around 2am one morning). So occasionally things will get a little crazy and the following may happen.

Have you guys tried Models Prefer lipsticks? Thoughts on the packaging or am I the only one irritated? 

You can buy Models Prefer Lipsticks from Priceline for $9.99AUD, or if you want to check out the Priceline Online Store for purchasing from your couch!

REVIEW: Models Prefer All In One BB Cream

It feels like BB creams are the new black, every brand is bringing out their version of these creams from skincare to makeup brands. I've only ever tried 2, the first being the Garnier Miracle Perfector Cream which I wasn't a huge fan of.

I've never really tried any Models Prefer products so thought this might be a good product to start with.

This is what the description says - "Primes: conceals imperfections, refines pore appearance and helps control oil. Enhances: smooths and evens skin tone for a flawless finish. Protects: promotes healthy skin with UV repair system and SPF protection.

Refine pores. Evens complexion. Boosts hydration. Controls oil. SPF protection. Healthy glow. Wear alone or under foundation for more coverage. Oil free, paraben free, fragrance free, D5 Free." (Source: http://www.priceline.com.au).

The SPF of this product isn't noted on the packaging I have contact a PR for Models Prefer and will update this if they get back to me with an answer.

This BB Cream comes in 2 shades - Light or Medium. Being so sheer it's not a huge deal if the shades don't match your complexion entirely. I purchased Light and it matched my skin quite well. You will find a lot of the BB Creams are quite yellow based as well, so keep that in mind when skin matching.

The coverage on this BB Cream is definitely light/sheer. It even says on the packaging you could use it as a base for your foundation for more coverage, but personally I like this kind of product for the weekends when i'm not wanting to do a full face of makeup but want to try and hide some of my skin imperfections. I also set it with a powder to make it last a little longer and provide me with a tad more coverage. I found it covered up my redness a little bit but it was still noticeable until I put the rest of my face on. I could have used a concealer, but to be honest I couldn't be bothered.

I find this product sinks in really nicely and provides my skin with some moisture, which is what my skin needs as it is quite dry. In terms of reducing pores I didn't really see a difference and I've only been using this BB Cream for a week so can't really comment on any long term skin advantages.

I have shown in the picture below the BB Cream in action on my face, also check out my YouTube video to see me applying it.

It's a nice product for an affordable price. Models Prefer have another BB Cream out in their skincare line which i'm not 100% sure if it is the same product or not. The packaging is quite different but the price is the same.

You can purchase the Models Prefer All In One BB Cream from Priceline stores & Priceline Online for RRP $12.99AUD.
