DUPLE ALERT! Mac Beauty Marked Dupe

Hello again lovies! Sorry long time no talk. To be honest I haven't been into makeup/beauty items lately so that's why I have not posted in a while. But I have recently done a swatch comparison for you all!

Mac's Beauty Marked compared against Ulta's After Hours ES.

They are very similar in color. Mac's Beauty Marked is just a tad darker(blacker) than Ulta's After Hours. Personally I like Ulta's After Hours swatch better than Beauty Marked.

 

Mac's Beauty Marked = $15

Ulta's After Hours = $6

Also the Ulta brand eyeshadows are $2 each this month! So you can pick up this shade as well as others for super cheap! 

Sorry for not posting more for you guys. I am hopefully going to post more often. Just let me know what you guys are interested in seeing/reading about! :)

FOTD w/ Thirtyonewest Pigments & Pink Hair

This is kinda old - but I really like the way it came out so I'll share my 2-3 week old FOTD anyway ;)

I wanted to do my face just using my Thirtyonewest pigments so I can show customers how you can use them & what not.

The colors I used on my eyes:

Wedding Lace, Naked Study, Odd Liquorice, & Octopus Ink.

 I used Wedding Lace as the inner corner & brow bone highlight. Naked Study on the eyelid. Odd Liquorice on the outer corner & in the crease. Octopus Ink in the outer corner to darken the Odd Liquorice.

Colors on my face:

Antoinette - Blush & Lips!

(mixed Antoinette with a clear lipgloss for the lips)

Wedding Lace - Highlight.

 & Of course I felt prettier with my pink wig on ;)  I need to invest in some new colors of wigs. I like the pink but it's getting a little old :P 

I hope you guys enjoyed this FOTD look - be sure to check out our shop:

 www.thirtyonewest.etsy.com

to get your pigments for only $6.00!

And let me know if you have any other requests of me using Thirtyonewest pigments!

DUPE ALERT! Mac Paint Pot in Bare Study VS Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Beige

I've found a dupe! Obviously by the title it's Mac's Bare Study & Maybelline's Barely Beige. They are almost exactly alike. 

The only real difference I can tell between these is that the Mac Bare Study has a pink undertone to it. 

Mac Paint Pots are close to $18 while the Maybelline Color Tattoos are close to $7. To be honest, they both work the same. The Color Tattoos don't crease at all -- work just as good! :)

The Barely Beige color is limited edition for the fall! So be sure to pick it up while it's still currently available! 

February Favorites!

I didn't have too many favorites this month - and a couple of the ones that I do have are rather odd.

Let's get started! :D

Wet N Wild Products Galore!

Okay, this month I've been totally in love with Wet N Wild for some reason?! I've already done swatches and a FOTD with the eyeshadows and lipsticks - you can see it here:

http://stfulaurenpack.blogspot.com/2012/02/fotd-wet-n-wild-crazy.html

I have also been using this Mega Glo as a highlighter! It's really pretty :D Plus only $3.99!

I really really love the Wet N Wild Megalast Lipsticks! They're only $1.99 and work & last great! My favorite drugstore lipsticks by far.

Mac Matte Bronze Bronzer

I got this at the end of the year for my kit - and I've actually been using it quite a lot for myself :P

I really like to use this for contouring because it doesn't have any glitter or shimmer what-so-ever. Just completely matte. LOVE this! But it's rather pricey at $23 :/

Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Liner

I purchased this like last May/June? and I STILL have this same tube! It hasn't dried out or anything. I love this liquid liner. Works great & doesn't flake! << hehe, that kinda rhymed :P

Elf Wet Gloss Eyebrow & Mascara Gel?

I can't remember the exact name of the product - but it's from their essential $1 line. I use this to keep my eyebrow hairs in place since I have some pretty crazy eyebrows. I don't use it for mascara though - not quite sure why you would? But whatever! :)

China Glaze Nail Polish in Blonde Bombshell
I know, I don't have a picture of it individually on this post -- but here's what it looks like:
http://stfulaurenpack.blogspot.com/2012/02/drugstore-haul-lighter-hair.html
It's really pretty & just straight up glitter. You don't even have to wear a nail polish under it!
The only thing I hate is that it takes FOREVER to get off your freaking nails.

& Lastly...

These awesome dental floss stick thingys! 

I got these from the Dollar Tree for $1 so it's not a certain brand I prefer or anything. I am just very lazy when it comes to flossing my teeth - which I know is kinda gross - but I am. So now that I have been carrying these little handy tools in my purse this past month - I've been flossing like everyday! So much more convenient for me :P Haha

And as one of my previous entries states (http://stfulaurenpack.blogspot.com/2012/02/would-you-like-spot-of-tea.html) -- I am into drinking cups of tea ;)

I really like these fruity ones. The Wild Berry & Raspberry ones are my favorite! Yummy!

That's all for me this month! :)

Mac Viva Glam Nicki Minaj Lipstick Swatches / Compared to Chatterbox!

My boyfriend picked me up this lipstick because he knew I was wanting it. I personally don't really care for Nicki Minaj - but I do enjoy this lipstick :) I normally don't get limited edition items because I don't like the fact that I may fall in love with an item & then by the time that I use it up - I will no longer be able to purchase it anymore :( But this Viva Glam Limited Edition lasts for almost a year I believe. This lipstick costs $14.50 & all the $$ goes to HIV/AIDS. I don't know why I'm explaining this like all of you don't already know? Oh well! :D 

 Sorry for the sloppy application :/

I've heard that this lipstick was like Chatterbox - and Chatterbox was my first ever Mac lipstick! I really like it - it's a beautiful color - but it's a bit darker than I personally like. I love bright lipsticks! So when I picked up the Nicki lipstick - in the tube - it does kind of look like Chatterbox. But once you pair them together, you can tell a difference. The Viva Glam Nicki has more yellow undertones to it and is brighter. I personally like the Nicki one better for my skin tone. I do like Chatterbox though. I'll most likely wear Chatterbox in the summertime when I have a nice little tan going on. Just looks funny since I'm rather pale at the moment :P

You can tell a difference in my opinion. So Chatterbox isn't a dupe for it :( However, I am on the look out for a dupe for this lovely lipstick!

I like this lipstick a lot - but I wouldn't wear it everyday like my other lighter pinks. This shade is pretty on me (at least my boyfriend and I think so) - but I think it would be amazing for people with darker skin!

I hope this helped a little. Maybe? :D

Have a good day/night sugar pops!

HUGE Mac Haul!

Happy Valentine's Day to meee! :D My boyfriend gave me $200 for Valentine's Day - so I figured I'd get a few Mac products.

I spent I think $178 - and just gave the rest of the money I had left back to him because I felt bad from the start that he had given me that much $$! 

I made a list of items I wanted and handed it to the Mac sales lady but they didn't have some of the items I wanted :(

 I picked up Creme D'Nude, Snob, and Ravishing lipsticks.

I orginally wanted Creme Cup over Snob - but they were out of stock :(

I also wanted Russian Red but they didn't have that either.

 Stripdown & Spice Lip Liners & Florabundance lipglass.

I loooove this lipglass!

And 4 eyeshadows - Knight Divine, Twinks, Beauty Marked, and Cranberry. The second picture is an up close of Beauty Marked because it's soooo glittery. This is one of the eyeshadows I have been wanting to begin with!

I originally wanted Dazzlelight instead of Knight Divine, but they were out of stock of that one :(

I also got the 217 blending brush - and I love it as well! 

And that's all! Doesn't really seem like a HUGE haul - but it was - considering I spent almost $200!

What I got for Christmas!

Blah, I would have posted this earlier - if my computer charger didn't break! >:( I had to spend $80 on a new charger for my computer (isn't that crazy?!) ! Anyway, as I was saying..

I mostly just got beauty things for Christmas since I'm starting school next week -- I needed to get as much stuff for my kit as I could! So since I'm broke, I asked everyone else to get me these things :D 

 My boyfriend got me all of these things! :) I ordered them all off of camerareadycosmetics.com!

 I got 4 OCC Lip Tars - Hush, Interlace, Memento, & Trick.

3 of these almost look the same -- but they are all different!

You just use a tiny bit of this on your lips & it covers them completely!

 I bought myself this Z Palette -- but Joshua got the eyeshadows! They are Ben Nye & they are $5.99 each! From left to right -- Cork, Smokey Taupe, Mink Stole, & Black Brown. I looove these! I think I like these better than the Mac matte eyeshadows! Plus they are wayyyy bigger - and cheaper ;)

 I got 2 of these Face Atelier Ultra Foundations - which are rather pricey! I got the 0+ & 0-. The lighter one you mix with foundation to make your foundations lighter if your foundation happens to be too dark. And the darker one is the same thing but to make your foundation darker. These are PERFECT for a kit so that way you don't have to have like 15 bottles of foundation for every color. All you need is really 2 foundations (I am going to get a Light, Medium & Dark though) & you'll be set! These are $32 each.

 I got a couple of Ben Nye blush refills. I just need a palette to place them in!

& I also ordered an empty Ben Nye palette & 8 Kryolan Supracolors! I ordered these to use as eyeshadows & cheek colors -- but I used them with Urban Decay Primer Potion & they creased really bad :( So no eyeshadow! I can still use the white for highlighting, the Fs21 shade for contouring (which looks great!), R19 & R21 as cheek shades.

 I bought myself some of Mac's Silver Dusk Powder & I looove it! It's very shimmery but it doesn't show up so glittery - just a nice glow. My mom got me the Mac Cream Colour Base in Shell which you can use on your eyes, lips, or face!

 I got my mom to get me a Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow/Liner from Sephora. I got this in the shade 'Skinny Jeans'. They didn't have the original 'Busy Signal' that I wanted. So I just got another color I was interested in & I love this! I want more!

My sister bought me this The Balm Overshadow in the shade ' If you buy, I'll fly ' -- I think? If that's not the name, then it's something very similar to that :) This is really pretty if I wear Mac's Gold Deposit Skinfinish on my eyes & this over that!

 My mom surprised me with this awesome vintage Snow White tin from the Flea Market! I loooove this! It's so cute.

  & I got a few gift cards from Josh's parents for Christmas - one of them happened to be for Target so I picked up a few things for my kit with it :) 

I got a few more things for Christmas -- but I just wanted to show all my beauty things since that's mainly what I got ( plus my vintage tin!). I hope you all got everything you wanted for Christmas!

It's also New Years Eve - - so I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year! :D

Christmas Beauty Wishlist!

I'm bored, and couldn't really think of anything else to blog about - so making wishlists are fun! I decided to do a beauty one of things I would like for Christmas :)

Urban Decay Naked Palette -

Everyone and their mother already have this palette - I do not. :) I actually mainly want this for my kit to have if I do weddings in the future -- but I want to practice a few looks on myself as well! And yes, I know there is a Naked 2 now -- but I am NOT even going to remotely ask for that one. Haha, it probably won't even stay in stock for longer than a day. So maybe I'll ask for that next Christmas :P

Mac Vanilla Pigment -

I want this for my kit as well :P I have heard a lot about this pigment - and I think it'd not only look nice as an eyeshadow - but as a highlight for your browbone as well as your cheeks & cupid's bow!

Dior Eyebrow Enhancer -

I don't use eyebrow pencils to fill in my eyebrows -- but I want this to use to define my eyebrows. Which means I want to use it underneath the middle - end of my eyebrows (if that makes sense?). It will make your eyebrow more define and neat (if you will). Plus, the good thing about this - they only have one shade - and it's universal! Woohoo! Great item for a kit as well ;)

Fairy Drops Mascara -

I'm all about good mascara. As you know, I absolutely LOVE my Tarina Tarantino mascara. But I'm wanting to branch out a bit and try other mascaras. I have just recently tried the Lancome Doll Lashes - and it works good - but I like the Tarina kind better. Plus the Lancome one smells floraly & aggravates my eyeballs :P

Anywayyy - getting off topic -- 

I have heard this has fiber things in it that make your lashes appear longer & also has something it in to make them curl -- sorry I don't know actual terms of things I am speaking of. I guess I could research a bit more about products before randomly typing like I know things about them :P Haha.

Mac Iridescent Powder in Silver Dusk -

I have been wanting this powder for awhile now. It's like a loose powder that has shimmers of silver in it - and I think it'd look nice on my pale skin :)

Benefit Cream Shadow in Busy Signal -

I recently watched 'Crazy, Stupid, Love' & I really liked Emma Stone's eyeshadow in a part of that movie. It was just a dark brown color -- and cream eyeshadows/paint pots are the easiest to use for getting ready in a jiffy. You can just use your finger & swipe them on & it looks nice. I really like this color!

Clinique Moisturizing Gel -

I want this so I can use it as a moisturizer & primer all in one. I use to NEVER ever use moisturizers - but I do have dry spots on my face in the wintertime -- between my eyebrows, some spots on my cheeks, & forehead. So I use the Olay UV moisturizer for Normal skin at the moment in just those spots. I hate lotion-y feeling things. I don't like lotion at all  -- much less on my face. So I just get those dry spots & that's it! But since this is a gel, I figured I could use this in those spots & feel more comfortable with it than a lotion-y feel. Plus, since it is gel -- it will act as a primer & hold my powder, bronzer, or whatever I may be wearing that day.

Urban Decay's Liquid Liners in Minx & Glitter Liquid Liner in Stage Dive -

I recently watched a Pixiwoo video just about her talking about being a makeup artist & what not. And she had these two liners on her eyelid as a winged liner. It looked amazing! So I must try these for myself. I loved the way they looked.

Mac Creme Color Base in Shell -

I want this product to use as a blush & probably an eyeshadow :)

Illamasqua Cream Pigment in Hollow -

I want this to use as a contour! It's like a gray-tone brown -- which I loooove! I feel like warm browns on my skin as a contour do not look as flattering. Maybe in the summertime when I am a bit darker. But for now, no sir. Yuck. So I'd like to have this :) It'd also be a nice eyeshadow or blush as well.

I also want a few Mac shadows for myself/kit.

Ricepaper, Satin Taupe, Twinks, Print, Cranberry, Embarked, Dazzelight, & Beauty Marked.

I just didn't feel like looking for all those shadows & placing them in a collage because I am lazy.

That's really all the beauty things I'd like - which price wise -- is kind of a lot! Expensive makeuppppp! I like to test out different things as well to know if it's good enough to carry in my kit.

I've been talking a lot about my kit in this entry & I don't even think that I mentioned I was starting my own makeup artist kit? Baha, I'm silly. But I'm going to need it for school because I'll have to do different looks on all different types of people & after school - I want to get a job with a steady income such as Mac, Sephora, Bobbi Brown, etc. I don't think I am going to be picky at which place I'd like to work at. But on the side I want to do freelance for extra $$$$. Weddings, proms, photo shoots, birthday parties, whatever. So that's what I need my kit stuff for :) I already bought both of my actual cases - one is a train case I got off EBay for the actual makeup & the other is like a scrapbooking tote with tons of compartments I am going to use as a 'prep' bag. 

I am done talking about my kit. It has nothing to do with this entry :P I'll do a seperate post once I get more added to it so I can show what I like or what I personally think works best, etc. Just fun interesting things.

Hope you all enjoyed!

My Lame Weekend

I'm completely bored & I need to write a new blog but I don't know exactly what to blog about? So I'll blog about my weekend! Saturday I went shopping - & I went to the Goodwill Clearance Center & the mall. I'm really bad about getting tons of things not for myself at Goodwill. So this time when I went, I decided to get everything for myself. I ended up getting a ton of different vintage pieces to add to my closet - and I only spent $15! Tons of cute granny sweaters & cardigans - my favs! :D At the mall, I ran to Sephora & Mac. I got a Benefit sampler thingy from Sephora & a lipstick and matching lip liner from Mac.

All my mall goodies :)

I picked out the color 'Chatterbox' for my lipstick & the Mac lady picked out 'Soar' lip liner to match it - since I'm horrible at lip liners & such. I just now started getting into testing out and messing around with lip liners - so I don't really know much about what color goes with what, etc, etc. 

Today, my boyfriend brought me a surprise ! 

ZELDAAAAA! I totally forgot that the new Zelda came out today! And he surprised me with it! :D :D Big smilez! I would be playing it right now instead of blogging about my lame weekend, but - it's late - and I've been working a lot more than I normally am - and I'm soooo tired :( I'd get to into it & would never want to quit! But tomorrow is my day off & I'll just play it all day :)

 

I want to take photos of all my Goodwill stuff I got this weekend & take pictures of me 'modeling' them & how I wear and mix vintage clothing with modern clothing. So maybe that will be my next blog entry? Something at least a bit more interesting than this one!Who knows.

Goodnight lovies!

October 2011 Favorites

Finally! I remembered to do a favorites blog entry. And boy, do I have a ton of stuff! It was really hard to pick through my items, and I kind of have a lot :/ Oh well, the more the better :)

Firstly, I start out with my favorite hair & face products:

 Pssssst! Instant Dry Shampoo - $5.47

Loreal Hydrafresh Toner - $5.97

CHI Silk Infusion (1 oz) - $8.99

Pssssst! Dry Shampoo -

For a nice poof! This is my first dry shampoo that I have tried. I really don't know why this one stuck out to me the most when I went to purchase a dry shampoo - but it did. I tried this after not washing my hair for 2 days, and it helped, but it didn't work like I thought it would. Like, I thought my hair would look freshly washed or something lol. It helped it not look as greasy -- but I don't know if I'd be comfortable wearing my greasy hair down with this product :P haha. However, this product does give you some volume! It makes my roots feel like they can breathe as well - so after I wash & style my hair, I go back & apply this where I'd like some volume in my hair, and it works really good! It's better than using hairspray or teasing for volume - so this is what I've been using.

Loreal Hydrafresh Toner -

I've been using this product for about a week. I don't wash my face, or use cleaner for it - just my makeup remover wipes (I know, i'm pretty gross). I feel like my face breaks out when I actually wash my face with cleaner -- and it actually looks way better and I don't have bad skin when I don't wash it - so whatev! But anyway, I got this to try this out since I don't wash my face, and I really like the way this feels on my face. It's also helped my face feel smoother. Normally I have little small bumps (there not quite blackheads, I'm not sure what they are :P - they're not big?) - but after using this - it helps tone them down a bit & my face looks clearer. I'm not sure why this does this? lol But it does! 

CHI Silk Infusion -

I got this product with my CHI straightener back in May, and I love it! I put just a small squirt in my palm & rub it mainly at the ends of my hair & bangs before styling & it makes it feel supa' smoooooth!

Favorite Face Products:

Mac Mineralize Skinfinish in Gold Deposit - $28

Tarina Tarantino Dollskin Cheek Blush in Carved Rose - $25

Laura Mercier Oil Free Tinted Moisturizer in Sand - $42

Elf Healthy Glow Bronzer in Luminance - $1

Benefit Boi-ing Concealer in 2 - $19

Hard Candy Glow all the Way in Doll Face - $8

Mac Mineralize Skinfinish -

I love this product! If you haven't already, you can read my review on this product & how I use it here:

http://stfulaurenpack.blogspot.com/2011/10/review-mac-mineralize-skinfinish-in.html

Tarina Tarantino Dollskin Cheek -

This is the old packaging for this product. Like a week after I purchased this on Sephora, she changed the look of all her products :( I like this one better though anyway :P I love this blush! It's a nice flushed babydoll pink. I haven't really tried any other blushes - high end or drugstore - so I'm not too sure if it's $25 worth -- but I do like this blush.

Laura Mercier Oil Free Tinted Moisturizer -

I do not wear foundation nor powder, and I wanted to start wearing something - but light with sheer coverage - so I decided since winter is coming up - I'd get a moisturizer. I heard a lot of good things about this tinted moisturizer - so I purchased it. I love this product! It gives you a nice sheer coverage - and it doesn't make my face feel greasy or like I'm even wearing anything at all. Like the blush - I haven't tried any other tinted moisturizers - high end or drugstore -- so I can't really compare it to anything else or to say if it's really worth $42 freaking dollars. Geez! Well, last week I did purchase the Elf Tinted Moisturizer (the $1 & the $3 one) - but they make me feel greasy. I suppose because they aren't oil free like this one. I'm still shopping around to find another that I like for an affordable price.

* Also, when I go out & wanna look good for my man (hehe) - I have just recently started mixing my tinted moisturize with the Revlon Photo Ready foundation - just a pinch of each to give me a bit more coverage.

Elf Healthy Glow Bronzer in Luminance -

I'm not too sure why they call this bronzer - because this is WHITE! It's very shimmery & has lots of little glitters - which I looooove. I use this in many ways - to set my tinted moisturizer, as a highlight, or as an eyeshadow. This is only $1 - & it's a great product for the price. It gives you just the right amount of shimmer. Here lately, since it's fall - I like to wear it as a finishing powder to give me the light natural glow & it looks really nice. 

I'll be getting the other colors to try out as well with my next Elf order.

Benefit Boi-ing Concealer -

I've tried all kinds of drugstore & high end concealers. I have really dark circles under my eyes that are hard to hide. And this, so far, is the best concealer I've found. It works nicely. It covers up my dark circles for the most part. I'm wanting to try Benefit's Erase Paste to see which is better - so I'll probably be ordering that soon :)

Hard Candy Glow All The Way -

 This is an AMAZING product! I use this as my highlighter - obivously. It is very shimmery & glittery --ahhh, I love it! & this HUGE tube is only $8! This should last you forever, seriously. A little bit of this product goes a long way. My next trip to Wal-Mart I'll be picking up the gold tinted one of this :)

Favorite Eye Products:

Elf Eyebrow Kit in Light - $3

Mac Paint Pot in Bare Study - $17

Elf Cream Eyeliner in Black - $3

Tarina Tarantino Fleur De Lash Mascara in Black Opal - $19

My Thirtyonewest Odd Liquorice & Anchor's End Eyeshadows - $6.99 each

Mac Eyeshadows in Omega & Vanilla - $15 each

Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden - $19

Mac Omega & Vanilla Eyeshadows -

These are the first Mac eyeshadows I purchased. I saw Gwen Stefani wearing a cream color eyeshadow with a light brown one over that in the crease -- and I wanted to create that look - so I did! I like the colors of these eyeshadows. I do like these a lot - but I'm not sure if they are worth $15 each? I feel like to get the color I want I have to apply a couple of coats of the Vanilla. But the Omega one works well. I don't know, it may just be the colors I got because they are light anyway. I'll get some darker ones next time to see if they really are worth $15 lol.

Mac Paint Pot in Bare Study -

This & the Treasure Hunt Paint Pot was my first Mac purchase! I got them back in September & I looove them. I just have the Bare Study one as my favorite because it's more of a nude-pinkish pearly color that I can wear with everything & the Treasure Hunt one is a light golden yellow. I also use this as an eye primer as well - and it works good! You can also use this as a highlight as well - ahhhh! So many uses for these handy dandy Paint Pots. I love them!

Tarina Tarantino Fleur De Lash Mascara -

Oh my God. This.Is.The.Best.Mascara.EVER! Baha, I'm gay, I know. But this seriously is the best mascara ever! This is the old packaging like the blush as well - it looks a bit different now - but same great product! I get compliments on my eyes all the freaking time when I wear this (which is everyday). It makes my eyelashes look extremely long & makes them appear fuller. I got mine brand new off of EBay because it was cheaper than Sephora -- but now that i've tried it --  I would totally pay $19 for it. I've had some people ask me if i'm wearing false lashes as well. Well worth $19. I love Tarina Tarantino products - they work really well. Her jewelry is amazing too!

Thirtyonewest Anchor's End & Odd Liquorice Eyeshadows -

I know I made these, but I really love these. I've been wearing these & mixing them a lot this month. Here's what they look like -

These are really pigmented & look good for smokey eye looks! You can get these from my new website:

www.thirtyonewest.bigcartel.com

Elf Eyebrow Kit -

Now, I've tried pencils & shadows for eyebrows -- but so far -- I like using the little waxy-gel stuff in this eyebrow kit. For me, it works the best. I have some bushy-ass eyebrows anyway - so this helps tame them down so they're not everywhere & adds a tint to it so it fills them in. I don't use the shadow that is with this kit though - just the gel.

I found out that Laura Mercier makes eyebrow gel as well for $20 -- so I am going to purchase it sometime soon & test it out! 

Elf Cream Eyeliner -

This is the only gel liner that I've ever used. I like it a lot. It goes on nice & black - not faded black. And it has a ton of product in this little bitty jar for only $3. 

Favorite Lip Products:

Maybelline Baby Lips in Quenched & Peach Kiss - $2.97

Covergirl Lipstick in Sultry (200) - $6

Nyx Lipstick in Narcissus - $3-4?

Maybelline Baby Lips -

I already did a review on these Baby Lips! To read go to:

http://stfulaurenpack.blogspot.com/2011/10/review-maybelline-baby-lips.html

Covergirl Sultry Lipstick -

I wanted to try a darker brown since it's fall. I'm kinda scared to wear darker lipsticks  -- not sure why, I just don't really wear lipsticks that make me look adult like :P haha. But I decided to cave in & purchase this one. It's not as dark as it appears in the packaging. I really really like the way this looks - it's not too light & it's not too dark - it's like the perfect brown color for me.

Nyx Narcissus Lipstick -

I love pink lipsticks. All kinds. Mostly lighter colors though. I have quite a few Nyx lipsticks - but here lately I've been wearing this one. It's the perfect Barbie Doll Pink Lipstick. If you're looking for a bright pigmented pink - this is for you! These lipsticks are very moisturizing as well. I like all the ones I have. I'm not sure how much they cost in stores - I get mine off of EBay in lots of 3 for like $7.

Sorry this blog entry was super long, I just felt like describing each individual product & telling about why it was a favorite. This ended up taking me about an hour and a half to type :P haha. I hoped you all liked this!

Let me know what your favorites are so I can go & test them out! :)
