Ruby Kisses Cosmetics Review




Part of the Blogger preview bag included a  fabulous bag full of Ruby Kisses Cosmetics products.  I decided to purchase some items from beauty online supply that were not included but really interested me also.  Ruby Kisses can also be purchased at most local beauty supply stores.  I would suggest calling 1st to make sure they carry the products you are looking for.  One store I visited only had the eye liners. I prefer to not drive store to store to get everything I want so I ordered online and received free shipping.

I received the below products at The Makeup Show Chicago:

Face:
All Over Glow Bronzing Powder in Deep Glow #4
All Over Glow Bronzing Cream in Golden Goddess #1
HD Set n' Forget Setting Powder in Invisible #1

Eyes:
24 HR Eyeshadow Magic eyeshadow primer
Eye shadows in Almond Butter #6 and Banana Cake w/Purple Frosting #3
24 HR Eye Define eyeliner pencil in Purple Glitter #14, and Very Black #1
Never Smudge Liquid eyeliner in Royal Blue #3
HD Gel Liner in Rich Black #1
HD 24/7 Gel Eyeliner Brush
Big Lash Mascara

Lips:

I purchased from beautyonlinesupply.com some extras:

3D Face Creator in #10, Level 10
Brow Polish in #3, Shimmering Blonde
Liquid Eyeliner in #3, Chocolate
Xxpress Liner and Shadow in #18, Va Va Voom
Auto Lip liner in #5, Plum
Color Design Lipstick in #23, Lavender
Super Gloss in #9, Raspberry

I tested the above for over 2 weeks to fully test all products for allergic reaction, longevity, and quality. 
I also picked up two packs of Kiss i-Envy: Individual Eye Lashes (Luxe Black) on sale.


Overall, The products are good.  Starting with the face and body products I love the All Over Glow Bronzing Cream.  It is great for a nice glow/highlight on the face. You can also mix it with your foundation and lotion for a sun kissed glow for the face and body.  The 3-D Face Creator is a 2 color foundation/concealer that is great for creating dimension and depth to your look.  It has a semi-matte finish and does last though out the work day.  I tested it in different temperatures and it held up well with the HD Set N' Forget Setting Powder.     

The 24 HR Eyeshadow Magic eyeshadow primer also works well.  It is not as thick as Urban Decay but it does make your eye shadows last over 12 hours and no creasing.  Also a little is all you need.  The Xxpress Liner and Shadow works great as a base when used with the primer.  I love the eye liners.  I applied them to the back of my hand and ran water over them and none of the colors ran.  All but the liquid liner came off easy with soap and water.  I have sensitive eyes and did not have any reactions to any of the liners also.     

The eye shadows are a bit too frosty for me but will work nicely for those who like frost.  I do like them in the inner corner of my eyes.  I prefer mattes, veluxes and satins.  Color payoff is not bad and packaging is nice and clear.  Plus they look like they may depot easy.   
 
I love the lip products. They all perform well. My favorites are the Staining Mood Gloss and Super Gloss.  They both are not sticky and last 4+ hours.  The auto lip liner is great also.  
 
 Big Lash mascara is described as being a super volumizing mascara(big and bold).  It added some volume but I still prefer my CG Lash Blast. Very Sexy mascara adds length.  Both do not clump and I love the look when I use both.  I first apply one coat of Very Sexy and one- two coats of Big Lash and my lashes are gorgeous, have length and volume.     

Love the nail polish.  Great colors at a great price and I had it on for a week before it started chipping.   The Gel Liner brush is not the best.  It detached into two pieces after 2-3 usages but glue can fix that.  The brush works fairly well at lining the eyes.   Overall Ruby Kisses has some good quality products at good prices. 

My top five favorites (in no particular order) from the line include:
All Over Glow Bronzing Cream

Brow Polish in #3, Shimmering Blonde

HD Set n' Forget Setting Powder in Invisible #1

Staining Mood Gloss - Mango Butter

HD Gel Liner
