The Lipstick Tag

Hey Guys!

I hope you are all having a great week so far, fear not, Friday is coming.

Today I bring to you....... THE LIPSTICK TAG! I saw this tag on Life Set Sail and was immediately drawn to it.

Not much to say, so lets get started!

1. How many lipsticks do you own?

So far I own a total of eleven, (I'm broke) But I'm definitely not done collecting yet!

2. What was the first lipstick you ever owned?

Well, I've been a dancer ever since I was 6, so of course it was red for stage makeup. I actually clearly remember it being by NYC and having glitter in it *cringe*

3.What is your favorite lipstick brand?

Uhm, well I don't have a particular brand that I specifically think makes the best honestly. Sorry.

4. What is your most worn lipstick?

I believe that currently it's L'oreal Fairest Nude. Shocker

5. What's your favorite finish

Personally I really like matte and Retro-matte lipsticks because they're really versatile and can totally change with a gloss.

6. What was the last lipstick you bought

Revlon Matte Balm in Elusive. Love.

7. How many lip products are currently in your bag?

In my purse, none. In my school bag, one. (NYX butter gloss in Tiramisu). I'm not one for touching up really

8. What's your favorite red lip?

I'd have to go for the Kate Moss for Rimmel Lipstick in 111 Kiss of Life . It's a gorgeous retro-matte neutral toned red, slightly on the bluer side.

9. How do you store your lipsticks

Standing upright in a box...... I need help

10. Which Lipsticks are you lusting after

There's a few. Lime Crime Babette. Lime Crime Velvetine in wicked. Maybelline lipstick in In the Buff.

aaaaaaaaaand Done!

If anyone does this tag, be sure to tweet me! I'd love to see it!

Classic 60's Valentine's Day Look

Hey Guys!

Long time no see? Well, I'm back, hopefully anyways.

Today I bring to you a super cliche beauty blogger post! Hooray! I mean come on, it's Valentine's makeup. But hey I came up with something. I decided to go for a medium coverage, natural brows, chiseled cheeks, and 60's style wings.

I wanted to go for a clean look that just enhances your features. A light flush of pink on the cheeks, nude pink lips, no eyeshadow (although you definitely could if you'd prefer).

I hope this post serves as some inspiration, and I'll post all of the product at the end!

As you can see, the eyes are super super easy. Just a bit of concealer and black gel liner of your choice.

Happy Valentine's Day from me to you!

Love you all!

L'oreal Infallible Super Slim Liner Review

Hi Everyone!

For today's post, I'd like to share my thoughts on the L'oreal Infallible Super Slim Liner as well as the pros and cons of the product.

For starters, the liner is a felt tip pen style liner with a flexible tip that isn't too flimsy. The formula is very black and thin without being watery. It seems to last decently long, but if you're someone who tends to rub their eyes, I wouldn't recommend it as it does smudge.

Keeping on the smudging aspect, it also IS. NOT. WATERPROOF. I think I mentioned this in my favorites video, but the second it gets wet, bam. Instant raccoon.

This does dry matte and black on the eyes and is very easy to apply and to create winged liner.

Claims:

Enjoy flawlessly clean lines as precise as 0.4mm with The Super Slim by Infallible® Never Fail. The ultra-fine felt tip gives you total control, delivering the perfect amount of liner. The intense quick dry 12 HR formula glides on smoothly with continuous and even flow. In one stroke create sleek and sophisticated eyes.

Skip-proof

Drag-proof

Smudge-proof

Ophthalmologist-tested

(Directly from the L'oreal website)

Price:

$8.95 at Target and from the website.

Pros:

-Easy to apply

-Very black

-Thin lines

-Good Price point

-Decent staying Power

Cons;

-Smudges

-Not waterproof

I guess the final verdict is up to you. Do you have this? What do you think about it?

My New Favorite Drugstore Lip Combo

Hi Everyone!

So as you may or may not know, I absolutely love my dark berries and reds on the lips. But we've now gotten to the point of winter that I'm about ready to run all the way to somewhere warm, and I don't run. I've gotten so excited for spring, that I've decided to already start incorporating spring-ish trends into my makeup. Of course starting with the lips.

I don't know why, but pinks usually really don't look good on me, especially if they're light pinks, but I happen to love this creamy, milky pink shade created by these two products

Revlon Matte Balm in Elusive + NYX Butter Gloss in

Elusive is a medium toned pink and Tiramisu is a pink toned nude. Alone, they're pretty, but together, they're gorgeous. Just in case you're wondering, I purchased both at Target, the Balm being $7 and the Gloss $5

Aaaaaaand yeah,

Hope Everyone is having a lovely day and I'll see you all very soon

Manicure Monday: Black and Rose Gold

Hi Everybody!

First off, I'm sorry for uploading this so late today, I was quite busy, but I now have a bit of a break, so I'm going to go post writing crazy.

This week, I went back to black, but I decided to keep it pretty classy. I have a dance on Friday and I wanted something that would look nice with my dress.

This week I've used Sinful Colors Black on Black with a gradient coat of Sally Hansen Dream Sequins. These polishes both went on very very smoothly with a few coats and look very nice and shiny.

Hope you all enjoyed and I will be back on Wednesday!

Manicure Monday: Fire Red

Happy Monday Everyone!

I hope you all are having a great day. So for this week's manicure I painted my nails with the Covergirl Outlast Glosstini in Rouge Red

Honestly, I'm not loving this color on myself. It's a pinkish red color with a TON of gold and orange glitter. Although I think the color is stunning in the bottle, (a beautiful orange with gold glitter), it doesn't seem to mesh with my skin tone.

The first coat is incredibly sheer and looked extremely pink, but by the second coat, there was too much shimmer for me to add a third coat to bring it to the opacity I'd like.

Of course, some of you may really like this color, and I'm glad that you do, I just won't be reaching for it much myself.

My Current Favorite Lip Products!

Hey Everyone!

So I think most girls can agree that a good lipstick really completes a look. No matter if you're going for a deep red or a nude, I think I can help!

Disclaimer: I took a picture of the wrong lipstick! /).(\ The one in the lower right hand corner should be the Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie. The swatch is correct.

All of these lipsticks are under ten dollars and can be picked up in places such as Ulta and the Dollar store.

IN ORDER FROM LEFT TO RIGHT:

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in 111 Kiss of Life - A true red, a bit on the orangey side

LA Colors Lipstick in Berry Ice - A deep red-berry

ELF Matte Lip Color in Natural - A matte, nude-pink

L'oreal Lipstick in Fairest Nude - a glossy nude pink

Ulta Lipstick in Purple Passion - a deep berry-plum

(On the bottom)

Ulta Super Shiny Lipgloss in Starlet - A sheer watermelon pink with some unnoticeable shimmer

Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie - A sheer light berry toned pink

Well, that's it! I hope you all enjoyed!

Easy "No Makeup" Makeup (Almost all drugstore)

Hey Guys!

I wanted to take a second to show y'all my current favorite makeup look. It looks like your skin has little to no makeup on it, but gives you a more radiant, awake look. I hope you all enjoy!

Face:

1. First, I primed my skin with a shine reducing primer. Of course, whatever primer you like to use, go for it!

I used Shine Killer by Nyx

2. Next, I applied a light to medium coverage foundation, or your favorite concealer ONLY TO WHERE YOU NEED IT. Sorry, I just had to get the point across. This is the key to make your skin look naturally flawless. I chose not to cover up everything, but feel free to. I used Covergirl Clean Whipped Cream Foundation

3. Next was contouring. This is totally optional, but I love the way it worked. I used Warmth by Bare Minerals to lightly contour my cheekbones and temples. I then highlighted with a matte cream color, I used Bone by Ulta, placing it under the eyes and on the bridge of my nose

4.Add a blush in your natural flush. I went for Berry Plum by LA Color which gave a light flush
