NYX High Voltage Lippies Swatches + Review

Beautifully pigmented and creamy.

I am VERY excited about these +NYX Cosmetics High Voltage lipsticks.

The array of color is amazing, as to be expected with NYX..

They NEVER spare the drama.

Definitely the kings of inexpensive prestige makeup brands, in my opinion...

My favorite products from NYX have to their skin prep & finishing

products.

i.e (primers and finishing sprays)

Next favorite is for sure their lip products! I was pretty excited to get invited to their

annual after IMATS party... It was a Masquerade ball and it was beautifully

adorned with projected NYX logos and makeup

and cupcakes & a flip book booth, OH MY!

Click HERE to see photos from the night

It was amazing, open bar and gift bag HEAVY! My.Type.Of.Party...

In the gift bag their were over 300 products. YES I said 300!!

Of the MAJOR swag in my bag, the High Voltage Lipsticks stood out!

I HAD to do a quick review on the new objects of my affection...

I've had a few days to play with them here are my thoughts...

Texture | Creamy moisturizing more of a balm consistency. I find that they go on better

and stay on longer when your lips are moisturized and hydrated, yet not wet to the touch.

Color Choice | I LOVE the color choices! They have the 90's colors we all love... The un shakable HOT orange and warm purple tones that has been killing for like 4 years now and some beautifulllll

mauves... I love the nudes available as well!

A veritable rainbow of awesome lip days and nights... I can see it.. falling asleep in a 5 color purple ombre lip..

This in my future REALLY!

The wear | They wear pretty well to be as moisturizing as they are, and like most lip products

they last longer & wear a bit better with a lip liner or base.

The Scent These have a baby soft hint of vanilla. Super clean and undetectable even to

the most scent-setive of noses.

Perks | They layer well! I have created SO many ombré lips looks with these lippies it's crazy!

I love that you can have fun with so many at once!

Drawbacks | Slim to none. As to be expected some colors are more pigmented.

The reds (of corse the brown tones and the purples) reign supreme....

Conclusion | I LOVE that they have SO many warm and cool counter parts!

I love the slim packaging

& the fact that you can se the color straight away!

I love that the are virtually scent free & layer sooo well!

The Finish | Some have more of a buttery finish a few of the reds

and the dark purple finish almost like a liquid lipstick. Very smooth velvety even!

RATING / 4.7 out of / 5

I can't WAIT for these to be available in mattes (because I know they will) ...

That is THE only thing I can really comment on.

I am a HUGE matte girl! I will certainly

use these (to death)

I just know if they were matte they'd KILL the scene!

.. even harder.. lol

Check out these swatches!!

Skin Needling? vs Co2 Laser BEST for skin?

If you watch my YouTube videos, you'll know I have been on a quest for my best skin ever. Well, the best I can get it. Clear, smooth, balanced and well hydrated skin is my goal, this post is about HOW I am achieving it!

The first improvements I wanted to make were to my spots of hyper pigmentation aka "The Ghosts of acne's past". SO armed with 2 weeks worth of Google research I decided to try fractional Co2 laser.

Fractional CO2 Skin Resurfacing. Fractional CO2 resurfacing can erase years from your face and dramatically improve the appearance of wrinkles and pigment, but it is not a lunchtime procedure. “In the past, traditional carbon dioxide laser treatments removed the entire surface of the skin.
- Google

Here you will find a VIDEO on my first experience with the co2 laser at (Metro MD) Hollywood.

Here is the LINK to that video.

If you know anything about lasers (which I did not) you'll know that they are NOT always recommended for the care of "dark skin". I had a consultation with Dr.Martin of Metro MD and her assured me that at his clinic he knew the proper temperatures to not burn my skin, which would result in more hyper pigmentation.

If you watched the video then you know I was happy with my results. I purchased a 3 package deal
MetroMD.net http://bit.ly/1uhkFhq Follow @TheMetroMD http://bit.ly/1x7cRTY

Services I had Preformed

PRP Facial $1200

PRP is a natural product created from your own body. A small amount of blood is drawn from you and placed in a sterile tube that is spun down in a centrifuge to separate the different components of the blood. Red and white blood cells are divided from the platelets and the plasma (the clear fluid). This plasma now contains a higher than normal number of platelets and is called platelet rich plasma, or PRP and can be re injected into areas and can repair itself.

Fractional CO2Laser Package of 3 treatments $2500

Fractional CO2 resurfacing can erase years from your face and dramatically improve the appearance of wrinkles and pigment. Tiny wounds are made and the surrounding healthy skin helps with healing, making new collagen and elastin.

3 sessions + prp = $3000

Above you can see what my face looks like during and after. Immediately after my skin is fine. on the first day for the first few hour post procedure... you skin will be sensitive. If you have a more pale complexion you will be VERY red i'm sure... The following days my skin gets flaky scabs up and peels off within a week. The process is relatively painless and after 3 days you can wear makeup.

The only down side is the recovery period, though short.. your skin does go through a Freddy Krueger like stage...

Skin Needling is a procedure that uses multiple needles less than 0.25mm in diameter, to pierce the skin and create tiny injuries deep in the skin. These dermal injuries lead to new collagen formation via the normal skin repair mechanisms.

Above you can see what my face looks like during a typical semi aggressive dermal rolling session. I used lidocaine on my face for 45 mins prior to treating, and it's painless. I LOVE the fact that I can do this at home for less than $10. I also like the fact that there is relatively NO down time. The results can be seen within the first couple of week of you rolling. The only down side it there isn't as much of an immediate gratification here.. it's time tested. The few changes I noted immediately were in the collagen production... I feel my face looks a lot smoother. My cheek and nasal labia folds definitely LOVE dermal rolling.

I will also say that Dermal rolling is not for the squeamish or fait at heart. You have to commit and press those needles INTO YOUR FACE... No Doctor's help...

Which do I prefer

If you have the money, and DON'T have the I'd say you will LOVE the 4-5 day turn around getting Laser work can provide you. Making sure you have the RIGHT doctor is key. If you have the right doctor I would say that this can and will save your face within a few pain free treatments..

If you have minor to sever imperfections but can't invest upwards of $2000 I'd say Dermal Rolling or
Skin needling is for you. You not only can control your treatment, but, you get to watch as you repair your skin. It's an AWESOME learning experience and you can use Dermal Rollers ALL over your body.

Some other uses for Dermal Rollers include but are NOT limited to;
Cellulite
Varicose Vains
Stretch Marks
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Hyper Pigmentation
Hypo Pigmentation
Better product absorption
