Makeup Withdrawal

FOTD feat. Impulse Cosmetics Pandora

Wednesday, March 5, 2014

Once again, the slightly gloomy weather has me reaching for moody dark lipsticks. Last winter it was NARS Terre de Feu. This winter it is Impulse Cosmetics Pandora.

I recently ordered a few more Opaque Matte Lipsticks from Impulse Co. Swatches and review to come, but in the mean time I had to wear this sultry mulberry as soon as I could.

Impulse Cosmetics Get Lippy Palette - Opaque Matte Lipsticks Review

Saturday, February 22, 2014

I recently stumbled upon Impulse Cosmetics while looking for reasonably priced cosmetic glitter. While I did pick some of that up (to be reviewed at a later time), these lipsticks caught my eye and I purchased a Get Lippy Palette during a recent sale.

Get Lippy Palettes are custom made, filled with your choice of five Opaque Matte Lipsticks or METALUXE shades. I opted for matte shades because metallics have just never been my cup of tea. The shades I selected (you also pick a backup shade at checkout) were not so much for wearing on their own (though hey, if you can pull off a striking mint lip - you're pretty much my hero) but for mixing around/editorial looks and ombre lips. Regularly, each shade is $6.99 for a full sized, balm like twist up tube. According to the listing, each palette is roughly the amount of three lipsticks. This five shade palette is $22.95.
