L'oreal Shine Caresse Wet Shine Stain in Infinite Fuchsia

L'oreal Shine Caresse Wet Shine Stain 187 Infinite Fuschia

Ran out and purchased this after seeing the color Karmen of PeachyPink0614 was wearing in her swatch video of the L'oreal Shine Caresse Wet Shine Stains. 

I wasn't interested in them when they first came out, but after seeing that color I had to try it out! I usually don't wear lip glosses (or lipsticks for that matter) so this is different for me. It does oxidize to a darker color which I like. My biggest problem with this is that it's hard to apply it evenly. I tried applying one coat, even it out, and then applying more coats but it still came out uneven. 

I kinda went swatch crazy because I wanted to compare it to the other colors I have so here they are:

1. Clinique Chubby Stick in 01 Richer Raisin

2. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in 045 Romantic

3. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in 005 Crush

4. NYX Goddess of the Night Lip Gloss in 139 Garnet

5. L'oreal Shine Caresse Wet Shine Stain in 187 Infinite Fuschia

6. Wet n Wild Lipstick in 918D Cherry Bomb

7. MUA Lip Boom in LMK (Let Me Know)

8. Milani Lipstick in 11 Black Cherry

This is after I rubbed it with a makeup remover wipe! It does leave a stain, but because it applies unevenly, the stain is uneven. 

Makeup Academy Haul!

Left to Right: Lip Boom in Let Me Know, All in One Beauty Balm in Medium Dark, & Heaven and Earth Palette

Made an order from Makeup Academy (MUA) after seeing swatches and reviews of their Beauty Balm in Medium Dark. It took more than a month (4 weeks) from the day I ordered for it to arrive. I did not receive an email notifying me that it shipped nor did I receive a tracking number. I ordered back in December when they had 40% off. I also received 5 free nail polishes with the order, but I gave them away because they're the crackle nail polishes. Shipping was ₤7.50. In total I paid ₤15.01 which converted into $24.81.

There was a tear in the package, but it was lined with bubble wrap so none of the items were damaged. The nail polishes and eyeshadow palette were wrapped in bubble wrap too and they arrived perfectly. 

All in One Beauty Balm in Medium Dark ₤4.00

This was the main reason I made this order. The swatches online (here and here) looked nice and golden and yellow. When I got it, it didn't look as golden and yellow in the pictures. I forgot to take swatches, but hopefully I can do it this weekend if it's sunny! I also need to test this out still, but luckily my neck is getting lighter so hopefully it works out!

Lip Boom in LMK (Let Me Know) ₤3.00

I only got this to reach the minimum amount needed to use the 40% off coupon and to get more of the plum/burgundy lip color I've been loving! It comes with a lipstick and a lip gloss. Both smell good! The lipstick side smells like yummy smelling candles to me and the lip gloss side smells like frosting! The color of the lipstick is similar to Milani's Black Cherry lipstick. I don't think I'll be using the lip gloss side because the glitter is super chunky!

Heaven and Earth Palette ₤4.00

Lastly, I got the Heaven and Earth palette because it was cheap and they're neutrals!
