Product Review on Ipsy Glam Bag's Mirabella Lip Liner

This is one of the item's in my May Ipsy Glam Bag. If you want to see what I got in my May bag, click here. It seems like everyone gets something a little different in their bag. It will either be a different shade, or a completely different brand of, for example a hair serum. I got a hair serum from NuMe, others may have gotten one from Macadamia Oil. Again I have to say how impressed I am with this month's bag. I received 3 full size items and a sample.

I was pretty excited to try this color. I actually don't have a lip liner, or lipstick in this shade. The name of the color, I am not sure what it is called..... The lip liner just said K19. This is a coral/red/orangey color to me. It's a perfect color for spring and summer.

The color is very pigmented. You can get away with using a little, just for a tint of color, or work with it, and make the depth of the color really bold.

In this pic above and below I added very minimal color. I blended it with my finger with some clear lip balm. I don't have a lipstick in the lip liner shade, so I decided to use it as a lipstick. 

In this picture above and below I went to town to see how dark and bold I could get the color. And as you can see, the color gets pretty intense and pigmented the more you apply. 

Overall, I liked this lip liner. The quality is nice, the color is very pigmented, and again, it's a full sized item. I feel like this shade can be flattering on all skin tones, except if you have alot of redness going on, on your face. Luckily I didn't today. Sometimes my skin can get red blotchy patches because I have sensitive skin and light eczema. I think I found my spring/summer pop of color lip!

What I learned today from one of my fave blog's: How to use a blending sponge

I saw Michelle Phan's blog on how to properly use these! I have seen these around forawhile, and never knew why they were all oddly shaped. There is a reason for the interesting egg shape!
Why are these makeup sponges shaped wierd?! According to Michelle Phan ......

• Designed egg like to not leave visible streaks on face
• The pointy tip is for the nose & mouth area
• The wide end of the sponge(non-pointy) are for your cheeks, chin, & forehead

The one's I have been using are the small wedge rectangular shapes, which are usually a little less than $2 at Target, Ulta or Walmart for a pack of 20+, depends on the sale. I usually use one per day and throw them out after each makeup use, so I don't re-use the same ones and spread bacteria. I've heard the beauty blending egg shaped ones you can re-use because they are washable.

This is on my MUST TRY LIST
