Review: Temptu Pro S/B Concealer Wheel and S/B Neutralizer Wheel

Something comes over me when I see makeup. I know you all know that I love makeup but I have a visceral reaction when I see certain makeup and colors, specifically bright, candy colored makeup, usually in a cream form. Even if I do not know what I would do with these colors, I feel the need to own them, touch them, wear them, play with them. I almost want to become them or ingest them (weirdo). It's hard to explain.

So off of the recommendation of a well known, respected makeup artist, I went in search of the Temptu Pro S/B Concealer Wheel and in turn, found the S/B Neutralizer Wheel. So I purchased both!


I couldn't wait to try the Neutralizer Wheel hence the divot marks from my spatula!

First up-the S/B Concealer Wheel.

This is a silicone based formula. I will do a post on the different makeup formulations and what they mean to you. It contains 5 different skin tones to create a flawless complexion.
I initially fell madly in love with the texture of this product. Creamier than anything you can possibly imagine but therein lies the problem. They have a whole lot of slip and move around a bit. If you put a little extra effort into setting this product, you may not mind it but this is not going to be a product you apply and go. It does move and can crease in fine lines if not properly set. I have used this on a bride and it stayed the whole day, however I do a lot of prep work to make sure a brides makeup does not move. Like I said, if you want to put a little extra effort into your daily routine, you may not mind the creaminess. For the time being I have kept this in my personal kit. I would be afraid this product would melt off under hot lights or in humid conditions. I'm still playing around with it to figure it out because I really want to love it. I also feel like this gives a sheer coverage. If you don't have a ton to cover, this may be the product for you. Also, this will work well for fair to medium skin tones and you can use this to highlight and contour as well. There is only 1 option for this wheel and I'm not sure if this would work on darker skin tones. I think Temptu Pro needs to expand the color options for this wheel.

Next up, the S/B Neutralizer Wheel.

Look at how stinkin pretty these colors are! I was immediately sucked into it's colorful beauty. I had to have them. I did not ingest them. Again, this wheel contains 5 colors used for correcting skin imperfections.

Peach/Salmon-Neutralizes Blue
Pink-Brightens skin
Green-Neutralizes Red
Lavender-Neutralizes Yellow/Sallow skin
Yellow-Neutralizes Purple

Again, there is a lot of slip so this product moves easily. They are a dream to blend but they need to be set really well. I do not feel this product has enough coverage or saturation of color to properly correct. Since this is Temptu Pro and is a pro line aimed at pro's, you should be able to use these in multiple situations. For example, the peach corrector is lovely for someone looking to get rid of blue toned dark circles under their eyes as long as they are not too dark. You don't even have to mix this with anything else, it is that subtle-too subtle for pro use. I tried to use this to cover a tattoo, however I could not get the depth of color that you need to completely cover a tattoo. I sometimes use the pink as a cream blush and it adds a nice pop of color to the skin. I think this palette would be better off for the everyday consumer than for a professional makeup artist.

I really love the feel of these products and would recommend the concealer wheel for anyone who would like to have multiple colors to blend and play with, of course keep in mind you will have to powder. If you are a professional looking for a true corrector palette, I would hold out for something else.

You can purchase both for $26 each at Temptu.com

Model Co Cosmetics Party Proof Matte Lipstick Review

I love my Birch Box.

I know I have praised them before but seriously, anyone who is a makeup fan really should invest. It is so worth it. I am going to start posting the products I receive every month and reviewing whatever goods I get.

Read about Birch Box here.

Model Co Cosmetics Party Proof Matte Lipstick is the creamiest matte lipstick I have ever worn. Definitely not the matte lipstick of the 90's that made your lips feel like dry wood and stained so badly that you couldn't get the color off for a month (God forbid you passionately kissed someone, there was evidence for days). Also, this is a full sized lipstick that I received! Why do I have 2 lipsticks you ask? Well, my momma is also a Birch Box subscriber. She received Get Naked which is a very neutral, fleshy tone and I received Red Velvet, so we switched. She wears reds and I usually wear nudes, it just made sense.

One has been used quite a bit!

Anyhoodles, I have been a gloss girl for years and I have not stopped wearing this since I got my hands on it. It feels so luxurious on my lips. It feels really smooth and conditioning, just creamy. When I first put this on, the word that came to mind was suede-soft, rich suede. Get Naked reminds me of Bridgette Bardot-she always had the sexy eyeliner look going on but she always, always wore it with a natural tone matte lip.

According to the website:

Why you need it:

A selection of highly pigmented, bright, bold, long-lasting colours-yes

Matte and cream, high-fashion colour finish-yes

Non-drying formula-yes

Kiss, drink and party proof to last all day and night-eehhh (it is described as ultra long lasting on the website. Although it has staying power, I would disagree with that description. Maybe if you don't eat drink or be merry, otherwise, I feel it last as long as any other lipstick.)

Convenient inbuilt mirror for easy application-Mine did not have a mirror attached to it, possibly because it was special for Birch Box.

They have a nude lip pencil that I am tempted to invest in because paired with the Get Naked lipstick, it would make in my opinion, one amazing, fleshy, pouty, sexy mouth.
