Nuance Perfect Lips Lip Quad: WARM

Hello everyone! Today I want to show you the Salma Hayek Nuance Lip Quad in Warm. There are two Lip Quads available a warm and cool quad. I purchased both, but in this post, I am just going to write about one =]
These quads were $9.99 each and you get four colors in each. I think that this is a good deal since just one of the Nuance lipsticks are that same amount. And I purchased this from CVS, but only certain CVS stores carry the Nuance line.

The packaging is very cute. It's solid black and made of plastic. It looks like a rose bud and each petal reveals a different color, so if you need too, you can just open the color that you need at the moment. In the middle of the bud, there is a little lip brush to help apply the color. I have not used a lip brush before this quad, but I think it works very well for me. If you have your own brush, I don't think it would be a problem for you to use it with this product.

The four colors in the warm quad are Red Hot, which is a glossy red color, Mauve berry, a nude pinky mauve on me, Sheer Champagne, a glossy cream color, and Plum Shimmer, which is a glossy plum shimmery color.
The colors are VERY creamy! I love this palette and all the colors are very wearable for day even Red Hot which is not as bright in the pan as it is on the lips.



Thanks always for reading!
Take care and be blessed!

Salma Hayek's Nuance Cosmetics




For my little Nuance Haul, I am going to write about the cosmetics that I bought to try out.


I bought the Flawless Coverage Mineral Foundation in Medium Deep 235 ($13.99). For a "foundation", it was VERY sheer. It didn't cover anything on me! Not the pimples, NONE of my acne scars, NADA! One thing I will say for it, it does a pretty good job setting liquid foundation and mattifying the skin. It does not last that long on the skin. I would say at about 2 or 3 hours, I couldn't see the powder at all anymore.
It was nice packaging, but it came with no sponge. It's funny because the instructions suggests using a sponge for a heavier coverage, which I did try out. Using a sponge does give a better coverage, but not that much....so yeah.





The second item is the Natural Look Brow liner in Brown 90 ($8.99). It is a retractable brow pencil, which I was SO excited about, it was shameful. I have only used one brow pencil my whole makeup life, which is by Revlon, and it is nearly gone, so I bought this one. I love that it is retractable and has the brow brush on the other end to help blend the pencil. What I didn't really like is that the actually brow pencil is SOOO small! It takes me twice as long to fill in my brows, so that was my main gripe. I wish the brow pencil was maybe the size of a pencil. I mean, my eyeliner retractable is not even that small. ><




I purchased one of the Color Vibrance Lipstick in My Favorite 145. It looks like a nice rosey color in this swatch, but on my lips, I find it more of a browny-rose color, which it very nice actually. I loved the color of this lipstick, but it does not last long on the lips. I usually have to put on a lipliner underneath to make this lipstick last past 2 hours. And I think for the amount I paid ($9.99), they do not give a lot of lipstick in the tube. A nice lipstick, but for the amount of time it lasts and the little amount of product, I do not think that this lipstick is worth getting.



The last thing is the Ultra Shine Lipgloss in Strawberry 120. I love this lipgloss! It's creamy and VERY nourishing on the lips. It. Stays. Put. It was a little difficult to get off my lips actually! It can be a little more sticky than I am used to, but it is true to color which is nice. It even tastes yummy. It is pricey around $7 but I think this is actually worth looking into.



Thanks always for reading!
