→ Mini-Haul: Ardency Inn Modster Lip Color

This post contains affiliate links.

I noticed Ardency Inn pop on on Sephora's website several months ago and pretty much everything they sell looks awesome. During one of Sephora's recent sales, I grabbed two of their MODSTER Long Play Supercharged Lip Colors. (What a mouthful!)



Each tube has 0.12oz worth of product, which is 0.02oz more than a MAC lipstick (and most other lipsticks). I've noticed that the packaging is shorter and wider than most of the other lipsticks I own.

Black Is Blue: deep midnight blue with a slight indigo undertone

Circa Rose: punchy pink with slight blue undertones

I've yet to swatch or use these yet, but when I do, I will definitely let you guys know how they hold up! I definitely want to do a full review on these!

Have you tried any of Ardency INN's products?

Swatchfest: bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipsticks

After Christmas, bareMinerals had a sale on the Your Perfect Picks Lip Set and you betcha I took advantage of it. The Your Perfect Picks Lip Set includes three lip products (lipcolor, lipgloss, or lipliner) of the buyer's choice as well as a makeup bag. I think that the point of the set is to pick one of each, but since I'm a junkie for lipstick, I picked three of those instead!

Lead The Way - rich plum/berry

Risk It All - energetic magenta

Never Say Never - fuchsia pink

Never Say Never, Risk It All, Lead The Way

I'm super impressed with the pigmentation and formula of these lipsticks. I have a feeling that I'm going to be buying a Marvelous Moxie lipsticks in many, many more colors. Have you tried any of them before? What do you think?

Swatchfest: MAC Punk Couture Mini Haul

In December of 2013, Mac Cosmetics launched a few new collections: Magnetic Nude, Huggable Lipcolour, and Punk Couture. Out of those, (of course) Punk Couture piqued my interest the most.

Punk’s rebel spirit has a visual language all its own. Punk Couture: Eye Shadow x 4 builds fierce eyes with extreme black, silvered amethyst, nude matte and blackened plum. Also includes Haute & Naughty Too Black Lash, Penultimate Eye Liner and Eye Kohl. Neon Pigments instigate a chaos of colour, Retro Matte Lipstick attracts in true black, midnight violet, fig and oxblood, while Cremesheen Glass shimmers with golden and purple pearl. Black, beaded Nail Lacquers are pure, polished punk.

I managed to get my hands on a lipstick (before they all got snatched up) and a cremesheen glass.







Studded Kiss (0.1oz) comes in the iconic MAC lipstick tube and retailed for $15.00. It's not my favorite lipstick packaging, but it's small and sleek so I do like it. Unfortunately, this color is no longer available for purchase on MAC's website, but you may still be able to find it at a local store.

Jet Boy is a cremesheen glass. It comes in a rounded tube that contains 0.09 fl oz with a doe foot applicator and retails for $20.00. The tube is transparent, so you're able to see the shade and is made of a really sturdy plastic.

Although I would've liked to have been able to buy everything from this line, I'm happy with my first purchase! I'm really excited to see how Jet Boy looks over different lipsticks because I don't think I'd want to wear it all on its own. Plus, Studded Kiss is just an awesome oxblood color. I think that even though all of the other lipsticks have sold out that I'll be getting the two other cremesheen glasses as well as all of the pigments.

What do you think of the Punk Couture collection? Did you get anything from it yet?
