The Stay-All-Day and Then Some Perfect Holiday Red with BA Star

 **Press Sample** Powered by BrandBacker, I was able to have another try with BA Star Cosmetics, and just like the first time, I was not disappointed. BA Star is makeup formulated for the stage, cheer, and dance competitions, which means it has incredible staying power and vibrant color. 

 Being somewhat of a red lip connoisseur over here...when I got the opportunity to try the BA Star Holiday Red Lip Pencil, I nearly jumped for joy! 

  The Holiday Red Lip Pencil retails for $8.75 and I am telling you...it is worth every penny and then some. This baby stays ALL DAY. I am talking I need to scrub it to get off...which is great because I love my red lip to stay strong and not feather or fade through even the toughest days in Grad School. 

 The color on this is a true, vibrant red...although it looks a little deeper on the pencil. The pencil is thicker, but not too chubby, and you can line lips and fill them in easily. It needs a sharpener, but it applies creamy and even has a light vanilla smell. Love it! 

 It takes a lot for me to be really impressed by a red lipstick nowadays, seeing as I have a drawer full...but the wearing power, lovely texture, vibrant color, cheap price tag, and lack of feathering will make BA Star's Holiday Red Lip Pencil a permanent fixture in my rotation! 

 

And because BA Star, BrandBacker, and I want you to try it out as well...there is a code for you lovely readers! Reader Discount: 50% Off

NYX Aqua Luxe Glam Gloss: Swatches and Review

A good gloss is harder to find than you would expect, but it can be found on a budget.

 

NYX is one of those brands I tend to gravitate towards because they have quality at a reasonable price. I recently tried one of their Butter Glosses, but I do prefer this one!

 

 

 

This is NYX Aqua Luxe Glam Gloss in Glitter Dreams. It is a hot pink sheer base with tons of pink and gold glitter. This really is a disco ball on the lips. It retails for just under $5, has a spatula type applicator and no real smell.

 

 

This is for someone that wants to make a statement with very little effort. Just swipe this on and go! The formula is non-sticky, long lasting, and not gritty despite the amount of glitter. I know glitter can be intimidating, but this is for a fun night out.

 

 

This really is a comfortable gloss to wear and the wet look of the gloss paired with the glitter give lips a plumped up effect without the pain!

 

 

I mean look! I am so in love with this gloss and am planning on picking up more in other colors!

 

 

A cheap, fun, and functional gloss for spring. A must have from NYX's new offerings.

 

Price: 10/10

Performance: 10/10

Color/Wearability: 9/10

Packaging: 10/10

Overall Quality: 10/10

Total: 49/50 = A+ = Pandamonium!

 

Have you tried these new glosses? Fave shade I should pick up?
