Makeup Review: Blackheart Beauty's (Hot Topic) lipstick in Poison Kiss (black)

Yooo. I've been meaning to upload a few random reviews due to boredom but since I've been 1) lazy and 2) not as bored as I used to be I haven't bothered making the reviews.
So, I believe a few weeks ago I purchased a lipstick from Hot Topic because it was in the front of the store and they were have a sale. Maybe it got marked down by a dollar or two? Or it was just because it was a 2 for $8 sale? But anyway the lipstick is originally $5
Here are stock photos










I love the way the lipstick is designed. It's very cute and original. It is very appealing
You get a fair amount of product for that price, but it's not the same for the quality.
The lipstick isn't THAT pigmented. Sometimes it looks streaky and has very dark brown tones?? Actually, stock photo of it worn is pretty accurate to how it looks like if it was correctly layered on multiple times. However, for a perfect black lipstick you shouldn't need to layer it that much. I actually had a better pigmented black lipstick from Halloween makeup at Party City. Although, despite it's lack of good pigmentation, I'm not exactly too disappointed??? I'm not too picky about my lipsticks unless it's ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE and it smells/tastes terrible.
This is a picture of it on me (two layers were probably used)

 The color comes on better if your lips are dry (I don't mean all crusty and stuff I mean how they are normally) and you're not wearing lip balm, otherwise the lipstick cancels out. It does come off easily. I haven't gotten it everywhere around my teeth or around my lips so that's a plus.
As far as how the lipstick feels, it has a very nice, creamy, hydrating feeling to it? It actually smells nice and doesn't have a nasty taste at all.
If I had to rate it for the sake of being honest towards others looking for black lipstick, I would rate this 2.8/5.
As I said before, I'm not too disappointed and it's mainly because I don't wear this lipstick alone. I use Sephora's Rouge Cream lipstick in Hot Tango 05 on the inner lips (??? don't know how to word it) and outline my lips with the Blackheart's Poison Kiss.
So I bid you farewell with these next three pictures that I used for my wig review (horray for reusing pictures)

My Estee Lauder Bag

So recently I've obtained a really nice bag from Estee Lauder. I researched it and it turns out it comes from  an entire makeup kit.
It's called The Professional Makeup Artist Colour Collection.
Some people refer it to as the "Blockbuster" makeup kit.
The collection, from what I believe, is usually on sale towards the end of the year on esteelauder.co.uk and the items or the bag changes every year.
I only have the bag though. It was given to me by my mother and I doubt she bought the makeup kit so she probably got it as a gift as well? 
The bag can be bought separately from the makeup kit on sites like ebay and amazon so if you'd like how this bag looks you might want to search for it on those sites.
So here's how the bag looks
It looks like a laptop bag so it could probably hold one depending on how big it is. 
A top view of it
on the zippers it says "estee lauder"
And here's a picture of the bag completely open
As you can see it's really roomy in there and as I said before it can fit a laptop or a few thin books/magazines in there.

I just wanted to show this because I think I might start putting my makeup in there. The box I keep my makeup in is falling apart. hehe n.n''
