Favorite Red Lipsticks for the Holidays!

Hello guys! Welcome back to our blog! I’m just starting to get in the mood for the holidays and I wanted to share my favorite red lipsticks with you guys! I hope you aren’t too bored of lipstick posts, I just realized the last five posts have been about lipsticks, let me know if you guys get bored!

Physicans Formula Velvet Lipstick in the shade Fight Free Redicals –

This is a gorgeous super bright red! I absolutely love this shade, it is so bright and fun and perfect for holiday parties. This is not drying on your lips at all but still will be matte. If that is what you like, then I definitely recommend this lipstick! Review: here if you want lip swatches or more information on the formula.

Too Faced Melted Matte liquified longwear lipstick in the shade Lady Balls

This is my favorite universal red. In fact, I’m pretty sure I mentioned this in my last post like this during the holiday season for 2016. It would look gorgeous on more medium deeper skin tones. This formula is a lot more longwearing and very very matte. It is not transferproof but it will last you through a party!

Big Makeup/Vanity Declutter!

Hello guys! I feel like it hasn’t been that long since I went through my collection but there was just some stuff in there that I needed to get rid of.

Makeup:

Tarte Brow Toolbox – I never use this because the shades are too brown for me, but I think Christine might love it so i’m going to gift it to her.

Laura Geller Lipstick in Berry – I don’t feel like berry lips suit me very well anymore so I’m getting rid of this one.

Jane Iredale lip stain in the shade forever peach – I liked this at first but I don’t think the bright coral orange color suits me well when I have red hair.

W3ll people Bio Brightening Invisible Powder – I somehow ended up with two so I’m going to give away this one.

Too Faced La Creme Lipstick in Mean Girls – This is too bright for me, but I think it would look gorgeous on christines tanner complexion so I’ll gift it to her.

Stila Cushion Gel liner in sapphire ink – I don’t like this formula at all so I’m getting rid of this.

Bareminerals Single Shadows in Rhyme and Lyre – Both of these are gorgeous but I have dupes for them in palettes.

Too Faced Totally Cute Palette Review

Hello guys! I have been excited to review this palette for you for ages and so here it is! Especially with palettes I like to give myself a lot of time to play with them and really figure out my thoughts. Here is what I think about this palette!

Overview:

• Cruelty free!
• Nine shades, 3 mattes, 6 shimmers.
• Price: &$10.99 at marshalls!

There are a few things that I like and don’t like about this palette, here are my thoughts:

The shades Double scoop, bunny fu fu and chocolate donut are some of the best mattes in my collection. I love how they feel, their smooth and pigmented and blend nicely. They don’t show up too well in swatches, they perform a lot better on my eyes. Shooting star is a beautiful face highlight, pigmented and smooth, Clover was gorgeous and pigmented but a bit chunky and Storm cloud is my favorite in the palette. It looks scary and bright blue in the pan but on your eyes it is this gorgeous duochrome smokey blue brown shimmer and I absolutely frickin love it.

Now for the bad,

September Beauty Favorites!

Hi guys! Today I wanted to share with you my september beauty favorites! I have quite a few because I bought some new things this month and last month and I have loved a bunch of them.

Too Faced Totally Cute palette –

I didn’t think that I would enjoy this as much as I have been. The mattes in here are lovely and I have been using them so often that I am thinking about picking up the natural matte nine pan palette. The go to look I do is storm cloud on the lid with frosted donut in the crease, beautiful for fall.

Alba Botanica Hawaiian Detox Frothy scrub –

This is such a good exfoliator scrub! It really gets off all the dead skin and leaves you with super soft skin. This is also super cheap!

Benefit Dallas Blush –

I have recently been rediscovering how much I enjoy using this. It goes on so smooth and is really blendable. I have never worn this and had it look overdone or unnatural which I really like.

Lipstick! –

Buxom Full On Matte Lipstick – These more nude-pink shades have been my everyday go tos lately. I love this shade and formula. It does plump your lips and feels a little bit cooling and stingy when you put it on, but it doesn’t hurt at all. The actual lipstick is really creamy which I enjoy.

Liquid Suede Lipstick from NYX in the shade Soft Spoken – This more cool toned brown lip is something I also have been liking. The more I use this formula the more I enjoy it. It is pretty and I have been wearing it a lot lately because I feel like it plays well with my darker eye looks.

elf Moisturizing Lipstick in the shade Razzle Dazzle Red – This is not only one of my favorite lipstick formulas now but this shade has been beautiful for fall. I love a dark red vampy lip and this was perfect.

Those are my september favorites! I hope you guys enjoyed this post. Let me know what you have been loving down below!

Mini Collective Haul!

Hello everyone! I’ve been picking up a few bits and bobs from marshalls and the drugsture the past couple of weeks and I just wanted to collect them and show you guys. I did pick up one super exciting product from too faced, so here we go:

Makeup:

Too faced Totally Cute Palette – I found this for $10.99 at marshalls which was so cool. I have wanted to try the nine pan palette formula for a long time, and upon first impression I am loving it, I will do a full review if you guys want!

Stila Got Inked Cushion Liner in the shade sapphire ink – I got rid of all my navy eyeliners in my last declutter so I wanted to try this out. I really like stila as well!

Skincare:

Burts bees chapstick in pomegranate – I finished my pacifica chapstick so quick, so I decided to try this instead to see if it would last me longer. I love burts bees lip products and this is super nice.

Alba Botanica Hawaiian Detox Frothy Scrub – This is my cruelty free body wash to replace the softsoap one I had. This smells so nice and fresh and I am excited to try it.

Alba Botanica Hawaiian hand and body lotion – This smells like chocolate and I had to pick it up! It is so thick and moisturizing so I am really looking forward to using this.

5 Products I’ve Changed my Mind About!

Hello everyone and welcome back to our blog! I have some products to share with you that I have changed my mind about after using them for a while. Some I disliked and now I absolutely love and some the opposite happened!

1. Tarte Lights Camera Lashes mascara

This used to be a holy grail of mine but now after trying out so many others it just seems meh. Like it gets the job done but I honestly am not reaching for it. After I finish this tube I won’t buy another.

2. Tarte Tartiest mascara 

I hated this upon first impression because of how bad it flaked and how it was goopy. After using it for a month it stopped flaking and I figured out how to work with it. Now it is actually my favorite mascara! It gives beautiful volume.

3. Becca Beach tint lip shimmer in the shade Rasberry/Opal

I loved this when I first got it and I thought it was so gorgeous! But as a couple months passed I started liking it less. It feels a little sticky on the lips which I dislike especially because of how expensive this is.

Five Products Worth the Splurge

Hello everyone, welcome back to our blog! After I made a post about high end products I didn’t think were worth the money, I thought I would show you some of my absolute all time favorites that are most definitely worth the price.

1. Tarte Tarteist mascara

This is the best mascara for volumizing! It also makes your lashes super black. This formula is wet at first and will flake so let it sit for a week or two before using it, it won’t dry out quickly at all. I love that this wand separates and curls your lashes beautifully!

2. Tarte lights camera lashes mascara

5 Favorite Lipsticks for Spring

Hello everyone! It’s finally starting to warm up, and I’m very excited that it will officially be spring in a few weeks! Today I’m going to show you my favorite lipsticks/glosses for this time of year, I’m excited to wear all of these and finally not be freezing cold anymore!

1. Milani coral crush lip gloss

This is a beautiful subtle coral gloss which I love because it is super creamy and not sticky at all. This is perfect for a sheer wash of color that is natural looking and is the perfect place to start if you want to start with coral lipstick!

2.Milani lipstick in hot pink rage

This is a bright fuschia pink which I think would look amazing almost everyone. This is wearable but yet still fun, and has a matte finish. I’ve been pairing this with simple brown eyeshadow for a fresh-faced look.

3. Butter London Lippy liquid lipstick in tickled pink

Another gloss! This is super baby pink, but I love it because it is flattering and has good color payoff. Again, it isn’t sticky, but is pretty long wearing for a gloss and I absolutely love this shade!

4. Lancôme lipstick in The New Pink

This is stunning! I’ve been wearing this almost every day. It has a foiled/sheen finish and is a really warm pink. It looks so flattering and stunning on fair skin and isn’t too much, it would be a perfect nudey/pink on tan or darker skin and I love this formula.

5. too faced lipstick in Mean Girls

This is kind of out there! The name is completely accurate, it is a metallic hot pink that surprisingly looks great on the lips. It’s creamy, not gritty, longwearing  and also has great color payoff so I definitely recommend this!

Swatch party!

Happy spring everyone! I hope you enjoyed this post and thank you so much for reading! leave me a comment down below telling me your favorite bright/springy lipstick, I would love to try out some of your guys’s recommendations. For this month we will only be posting on Mondays and Thursdays again since we are both becoming super busy! Hope you guys don’t mind!

Favorite Red Lipsticks for the Holidays

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for reading, I’m so thankful to have so many people coming back and reading the things I have to say every couple days. Posting every day for blogmas seemed unreachable this year, so maybe next year blogmas will happen. But I love holiday themed posts, and Christmas is so close that I thought I would share some of my favorite reds with you guys, I recommend all of these lippies very highly! They are perfect to wear for a holiday party or get together, but can definitely be worn whenever you feel like a red lip!

NYX cosmetics matte lipstick in mls10 – 

Huge November 2016 Beauty Favorites!

Hi everyone! Welcome back to this blog and happy December! Since it’s December it’s basically christmas in my mind. Here is a list of my November favorites! I’ve purchased a lot of products this month and I think all but two of these are new products from November.

Butter London Glazen in Oil Slick –

I just had to mention this! It is such a cool product. A few weeks ago I bought a whole bunch of Butter London stuff, there was a huge event at Ulta, and a lot was on sale. This is an eyeshadow that feels jelly like and absolutely strange in the pan, but once you put it on your skin it turns into powder. It is super shimmery and really does look like an oil spill on pavement. Once you blend it out, it leaves behind a gorgeous red brown hue, and some of the shimmer disappears, which I am loving.
