Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipsticks: Sad Girl and Pure Holywood

Anastasia Beverly Hills just launched her liquid lipsticks line.  Lipsticks are advertised to be full-coverage, matte and long wearing. I was waiting patiently to the day they started selling them online and purchased 2 shades to test: one nude (Pure Hollywood) and one bold (Sad Girl). While Pure Hollywood is such a beauty, Sad Girl left me with mixed feelings:

'Morphe Brushes' contour palette, 06F Pressed Powder

 

I got myself a 'Morphe brushes' palette #06F which is a Pressed Powder Palette designed for contouring. It has 2 contour colors, 1 bronzer color, 1 highlight color, 2 kind of blush colors (1 is pinkish, 1 is peachy). The finish is matt, the powder is finely milled and silky to the touch. It does go on a little powdery, but once you blend it into your skin it transforms into a natural finish.

I have played with this puppy for couple of weeks already and I am very impressed with the quality and staying power of the brown ones
