Hi lovelies, are you ready for a huge makeup haul blog post? I'm super excited to introduce you to this gorgeous makeup collection by City Color Cosmetics. It is not my first experience with this brand, I have tried their Matte Liquid Lipstick in a beautiful shade called 'Homeslice'. City Color Cosmetics company was first introduced at IMATS LA 2013 as a high-quality and budget-friendly beauty brand. Since that time this brand proves that people around the world can look their best, without spending a fortune on makeup products.
Before I start my review I want to say sorry for posting this makeup haul so late. There was an issue in our local post office and I received the package with the City Color winter collection two and a half months later than it was originally planned. I hope City Color Cosmetics will forgive me for this long postponement and I'm really sorry for this delay. And now, without further ado, let's get started!
City Color Primer Oil
The very first product I'm going to talk about is this amazing non-greasy Oil Primer. It comes in a glass bottle with a very comfortable dropper for an easy and hygienic application. Thanks to its multi-purposed vitamin-enriched formula, you can use this primer to nourish your skin and even your hair. I have a couple of dry liquid eyeliner, which were successfully reanimated with this Oil Primer. Apply a few little drops of this primer directly on your skin and give it a few minutes to absorb. City Color Oil Primer will fill in fine lines and makes the surface of your skin smooth and even.
Now it is time to talk about Be Matte Lipstick in a gorgeous brick red color called 'Claudia'. I love everything about this lipstick: simple and beautiful packaging, moisturizing formula, and velvety matte finish. Even though this lipstick is matte, it feels pretty comfortable on the lips. The staying power of this lippie is also great. The color gives me some strong '90s vibes, so, in my opinion, Be Matte Lipstick is an ideal pair for neutral eye makeup, bold eyebrows, and glowing skin.
City Color Single Eyeshadows
City Color winter collection features five single eyeshadows: 'New Year, New Me!', 'Breezy', 'Poolside', "Skinny Latte', Night Owl'. All of these colors are pigmented and silky, but what is more important they have incredible finishes. I will demonstrate the swatches in one of my future reviews. I'm very excited to play around with these colors and I even think to record a makeup tutorial, using these pretty shades.
City Color Classic Face Primer
The next product is another makeup primer, but this time with a classic formulation. Classic Face Primer prepares the skin for makeup foundation, hiding enlarged pores and other imperfections. The lightweight formula is water-based and paraben-free, it gives the skin a smooth matte finish and helps your makeup to last longer. You can use this primer under your makeup foundation, or even on its own. I haven't decided yet, which one of the two City Color primers I like more. Detailed reviews with my thoughts are coming soon.
City Color Contour Palette
Who said that contouring, as a makeup trend, is going to completely disappear this year? City Color Contour Palette is one of my favorite makeup products from the entire collection. It is not a secret, that I prefer to sculpt my face with powder products. Powder contouring is easy and beginner-friendly, unlike heavy cream contouring. City Color Contour Palette comes in a light, cardboard case and features three incredibly pigmented colors - everything you need to add dimension to your face. All three colors have a very smooth, silky texture, it is very easy to blend them on the skin.
City Color Bold Brow Tinted Brow Gel 'Taupe'
To tame the most mischievous eyebrows City Color has prepared a tinted brow gel. There are six different color options for every eyebrow shade: blonde, auburn, chocolate, taupe, ash brown, and ebony. This eyebrow gel helps to keep eyebrow hairs in place, fills them with color, and preserves the natural beauty and shape of eyebrows. The formula is waterproof, so you don't need to worry about humid weather, rain, or snow. I really liked the performance of this product and hope that in the nearest future City Color will develop an eyebrow pomade collection, similar to these tinted brow gels.
City Color Chic Gel Eyeliner 'Carbon'
I personally can't imagine a dramatic makeup look without eyeliner. A good, well-pigmented, and long-lasting eyeliner is a must-have for every makeup junkie. Chic Gel Eyeliner in color called 'Carbon' also has a waterproof formula, so it is a perfect match for tinted eyebrow gel! Waterproof formula makes it perfect black eyeliner for the upper and lower waterline.
City Color Creamy Lips 'Chocolate Merlot'
City Color Creamy Lips is all you need to complete a sultry makeup look. I'll be honest with you guys, I fell in love with this deeply pigmented color and creamy formula of this lipstick. It was love at first sight! I would say it is a perfect winter red lipstick, that will suit every complexion. Thanks to its creamy formula it feels very comfortable on the lips and glides on the lips like a charm.
City Color Fierce Lashes Mascara
And the last, but definitely not the least product in my today's makeup haul is City Color Fierce, Lashes Mascara. It has a volumizing formula, that provides curling effects to the lashes. I have already tried Fierce Lashes Mascara and was impressed with how curly and fluffy my lashes looked.
To sum up my today's makeup haul I want to say that I couldn't be happier with the quality and performance of these makeup products. In the nearest future, I'm going to write a detailed review of my favorite products from this collection. I will show you some swatches and talk about my experience. I'm looking forward to testing out these wonderful makeup products and sharing with you my results. Have you heard about the City Color Cosmetics brand? What is your favorite makeup product?
