MEDORA OF LONDON LIPSTICKS COLLECTION AND REVIEWS

Due to so many requests I decided to do an in depth review of the Lipsticks from Medora. These lipsticks are Made in Pakistan Swat and are only available in Pakistan at drug stores or shops that carry makeup products.
I personally love these lipsticks as they have a matte finish which I prefer as I have thin lips and most of the lipsticks have a creamy/sheen finish and I feel that they don't last too long on my lips or just bleed out. And I hate it when I am wearing a creamy lipstick and even if my hair brushes over it, it just spreads...so I had been looking for some really good matte lipsticks which would be long wearing and not too dry but still not too shiny or creamy.
When I came across the Medora lipsticks I instantly fell in love because they were all that I wished for plus they came in such unique shades...shimmery, glittery, matte and frosted but still not too creamy if you know what I mean.I got 20 different shades in the pic above you can see 19 of them and I melted down the 20th shades for my kit.

NYX BORN TO GLOW LIQUID ILLUMINATOR REVIEW

NYX Born to Glow Liquid Illuminator is available in two shade selections and dare I say a great dupe for NARS Illuminator. At $7 a tube it’s a far nice option than NARS’ own $30 version.
I think you’ll particularly like Sunbeam which could be an easy replacement for Copacabana.
Take a peek!
I’m not much for liquid highlighters but even I can’t deny how easy it is to incorporate NYX Born to Glow Liquid Illuminator into my regime. A tiny amount patted on my highbrow, on my cheek bones, or mixed with my BB Cream produces a gorgeous shimmering glow.
Sunbeam is a pretty shade of pearl pink that goes lighter pearl as you apply. The texture is a creamy, lightweight liquid that blends easily onto skin leaving behind a glistening glow with tiny, refined specks of silver sparkle. You can easily over do this look so use a tiny amount to begin and build as needed. I like mixing it with my BB Cream as it’ll produce an all over glow plus my base product will subdue and tame some of the sparkle.

NYX BORN TO GLOW LIQUID ILLUMINATOR

I find NARS Illuminators actually have more sparkle in comparison so Born to Glow is definitely a more subtle highlighter.
A touch on your highbrow area will diffuse the look of dark circles and give your eyes a more lifted, awake look as well.
Overall, Born to Glow is an excellent liquid highlighter at a fraction of the cost compared to competitors. If you’re a highlighter girl this will indeed be a pleasing formula with a friendly price tag.

It’s available now at www.nyxcosmetics.com as well as Ulta.com and Ulta stores.
