COVERGIRL The Hunger Games Catching Fire The Capitol Makeup Collection

COVERGIRL 
THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE
THE CAPITOL COLLECTION




COVERGIRL has created a Collection based on the looks in the Much Anticipated up and coming movie "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" based on the second book in the trilogy. In this new movie, it has been six months since Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark won the Seventy-Fourth Hunger Games. The Hunger games are an annual event in which each district in Panem sends one female and one male to fight to the death in a televised competition for food and money. Every victor must than go on a Victory Tour and visit each district to celebrate their win. Before leaving for the tour, Katniss finds President Snow, the leader, waiting to speak with her. I won't tell you the rest to spoil it, but here is a link to the trailer for the movie if you want a sneak peak. http://movies.yahoo.com/video/hunger-games-catching-fire-trailer-021017530.html

Now on to the Looks that were Created for the "Capitol Collection". There are 12 different looks that were inspired by each District. There is a link added to each look for how to achieve it. The links include inspirations, how to videos, before and afters, and what you would need to recreate the look. It is Amazing just to watch the videos and get inspired!

Here is what I bought from the Collection with a description from COVERGIRL and my thoughts:

Flamed Up Mega Curl Mascara:


Flamed Out Mega Curl Mascara in Very Black Blaze
  • Max curl and volume instantly
  • Curl Igniter brush adds volume and curl to every lash
  • Smudge and flake resistant
This mascara does everything that it promises. It instantly curled my eye lashes and the curl kept up nicely during the day. It never smudged or budged and was easy to remove. It also did not clump and the brush wand was easy to use.

The Brush wand: It is a bit short and thick, but I had no
trouble using it at all!
Flamed Out Shadow Pencil:

Flamed Out Shadow Pencil: "Gold Flame 330" & "Silver Flame 300"
  • Gel shadow and liner in one
  • Ten hot, blendable shades
  • Creamy formula for smooth application

I like using these Shadow Pencils as either a bold thick liner or as a shadow. I think they work best when used over eyeshadow to pop their color. When I wore them plain, just over an eye primer, I had to really layer the pencil to get the color to pop. I have to say even when wore plain, the Gold Flame was still very pretty on my eyes as a more muted tone.

Lipslicks Smoochies Sizzle Gloss:

Smoochies Sizzle Gloss in "Glow For It 556"
  • Sheer color, moisture, and shimmer shine
  • 100% smoochable lips
  • In 12 irresistible shades

I have to say this gloss and the next nail polishes were by far my favorite from the collection. I love this Gloss So Much! It is the most beautiful color especially for fall, it goes on so well and it is so Pigmented. Usually I do not get much color from glosses that come in these types of tubes, so I was extremely surprised! I will definitely be going back for more Smoochies. I just love the name too!!

"Gold Flame" Shadow Pencil, "Silver Flame" Shadow Pencil,
"Glow For it" Smoochies Sizzle Gloss Swatched

Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Glosstinis:

This Limited Edition Glosstinis Colors  are Amazing!
"Sulfur Blaze 600" & "Seared Bronze 630"
  • Limited edition colors
  • Perfectly portable size
  • Glossy color lasting up to one week
I love these little mini nail polishes. I bought four of the limited edition colors from the Collection so I will post on the other two colors once I use them. I can't say enough about how much fun they are to put on and wear. There is a slight trick when painting to create the look. You have to apply two coats on one Glosstini, followed by a matte Outlast Stay Brilliant coat on the top half of your nails (matte polish pictured in back), finish by applying the other Glosstini just in between the matte shade and your cuticle. It seems tricky reading it, but it wasn't.

The Two Glosstini Colors on!
Final Thoughts:

I love the COVERGIRL Capital Collection!! I was so impressed with the Glosstinis and Smoochies Sizzle Gloss that I literally want to run out right now and buy more. I have also recently discovered that they are also nail stickers in the collection, so hopefully I will be getting those too. I hope that you enjoyed this post, the COVERGIRL Capitol Collection and I hope that you are excited for the "Hunger Games: Catching Fire" Movie in Theaters November 22!!

Thanks,

Sik Glam

Ohh this is interesting! I didn't know about this. It looks so pretty. I am looking forward to the movie too. I have the regular Flamed Out Mascara. This one sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Your Welcome Shalunya....It is a very pretty collection but you can get pretty wild with all the looks you can do with it too....You can be as subdued or get as wild as you want...:) I am looking forward to the movie too. Only a month and 21 days..lol....:)

OMG this all looks so so good! Thanks love for sharing this with us! I'm surprised to see how pigmented those glosses are! Very intrigued and want to go get me one now! I really want the mascara too! But with my stash that I already have, I will have to turn my head the other way and not cry over it (or else the husband will give me a dirty look when I give him the puppy eyes to let me get it hehe!)

I love the mini polishes!!! You're wearing it too right?!?! It looks good on you!!! Very pretty for fall!

This is an excellent review (as always) my dear! xoxo

P.S. So happy to have you back in the online world! <3333

Not sure if my previous comment went through.... We are huge hunger games fans. Read all the books and now are waiting to see the next movie. So this collection actually excites us a little. Even though it is a little on the wild side, should be fun to play with! LOL

Unknown said...

Thanks Girls. Yeah you can really play it up or down...It's up to you...:) I wore the Golden Shadow Pencil just all over my lid and it was very subtle, but than I wore it over some shadow and it really popped. It is really fun to play with...:) The polishes are Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

when I saw the display in my Walgreens the only thing that was left was the gold nail polish, I have a couple of gold so I am like ehh, but I wanted to see what else was in the collection because that was the last item and the girl looked at me like I was back in Clueless Days, and didn't know. so I am really glad you did this because now I know what to get

Unknown said...

Thanks Laurie...Yes it's a good one..I got the ring at your favorite place...Henri Bendel....:) I think it was called the "Dynasty Ring"...I am not sure if they still make it but I am sure they will have something that you will like...:) Please no Rocks.....;)

Unknown said...

Thanks Cynthia. That's a funny story...:) I got all mine at Bed, Bath and Beyond and they were fully stocked and this was not too long ago.....I really want the Black Glosstini for the collection but I can't find it.....:( It's like a Hunger Games Mission I am on...lol....;)

Unknown said...

Wow, that surley looks interesting- althoug I think Jennifer Lawrence is a natural beauty and does not need any enhancer- lol. But with this set we can maybe try to look a bit like her, hahaha. But she is so young- damn! Thanks for sharing!

Unknown said...
