30 Days of Lips- Day 30

Image
Whooo Hooo we made to day 30! I had to end it with a bold red and this is Model Co Party Proof Matte Lipstick in Red Velvet. I don't own much from this brand but this lipstick alone makes me want to try more.

30 Days of Lips- Day 29

I think I got this Tarte Complexion Brightening Lipstick in Fair-Light in a Glossybox. It has a nude outer ring while the inside is a bright pink. Together I think it's suppose to make your perfect lip shade. I have no complaints about this lipstick, but I don't think that it's special either.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I think it's important to look good on holidays (lots of photos) but I think on a holiday that is focused on lots of eating it's best to keep your lipstick simple. I will be wearing Tarte LipSurgence lip tint in Enchanted, because it's easy to apply and will keep my lips moisturized while I'm out in line trying to get a Black Friday deal ;).

30 Days of Lips- Day 27

I purchase L'Oreal Paris Fairest Nude because YouTube guru Sccastenda recommended it as her favorite lipstick. I happy I did because this is one of the few nude lipsticks that I don't look sickly in. 

30 Days of Lips Day- 26

Image
These L'Oreal le Matte and le Laque were hard to find I was only able to get my hands on four and this is the shade Matte-R of Fact. I have to say this is my favorite color in the bunch. They don't wear for a long time but the formulation is really creamy. Last I heard they were on clearance at Target, so if you see one grab it.

30 Days of Lips- Day 25

Image
This is my favorite red lipstick. It's another Tarte Glamazon lipstick in the shade Fierce. The color is more of an orange red rather than a blue red, and it's really bold. I just love it. 

30 Days of Lips- Day 24

Image
This is one of the mini lipsticks that came in the May Julep Maven box. The color is Tea for Two and it's a really sheer pink that sort of mattes my lips. I rarely use this lipstick because it's so sheer that I don't see the point.

30 Days of Lips- Day 23

Image
I am starting to notice that I own/wear a lot of berry lippies and this Revlon Kissable Balm Stain in Smitten is no exception. I wouldn't call this a stain because it doesn't really stain my lips but it does last a while and its easy to apply. I believe that Revlon came out with a new matte formulas which I need to try.

30 Days of Lips- Day 22

The lighting is a bit off today due to rain, but this still gives you an idea of Sugar Lip Treatment in Petal. I don't understand the hype of these products, to me they are not worth the price tag(full size is $22.50). Don't get me wrong they are not a bad product but they are not so special that I would pay $20+ to own one. Plus I always seem to have a mini one in my sample stockpile. 

30 Days of Lips- Day 21

Image
This is another lipstick that I have luke warm feelings for, it is Mirabella lipstick in the shade Daydream and I got it in a Glam Bag . The formula isn't bad or good and I am not crazy about the color on me. To be honest I don't think I will wear it again. 

30 Days of Lips- Day 20

Image
I love a red lip, and this NYX Black Label lipstick in Tribute to Marilyn is one of my top 3 favorite red lipsticks. The formula is creamier than their regular lipsticks, and leaves a shine on the lips. Also the lipstick has a grape juice like smell and the packaging is pretty. 

30 Days of Lips- Day 19

Image
This is my newly added Tarte Glamazon lipstick and the color is Playful. This is my fourth Glamazon lipstick and they all go on like butter, and they have great staying power. I think I want every color!

30 Days of Lips- Day 18

Image
Here is another Revlon Lip Butter(I own several) in Raspberry Pie. I only really wear this berry color in the fall and I am fan of how much color you get from this lip butter. I think this would make a great color to wear on Thanksgiving. 

30 Days of Lips- Day 17

Image
Today I wore Laura Geller Italian Marble lipstick in Strawberry Toffee. The color in the tube looks like a pink and brown marble, but the color comes off as a medium tone pink. This is a interesting lipstick, and I might see what other colors there is to purchase.

30 Days of Lips- Day 16

Image
I had very little time to do my makeup again this morning, so I pick ELF Studio Matte lip color in Tea Rose. The formula is great for a $3 lippy and I am surprise I don't own more. One of my favorite ELF products. 

30 Days of Lips- Day 15

Image
I was in a rush today and all I had time for was lip gloss. My favorite glosses are the Buxom glosses, and this is the color Eva. This has a minty tingle like all the Buxom glosses and I often top darker lipstick with this to soften them.

30 Days of Lips- Day 14

Image
Here is another easy lip color, it's Rimmel London Lasting Finish in 104. I call this color easy because it's a lip that will go with everything. It's not to bold so you don't have to worry about it clashing, but it's not to nude either. 

Quick and Easy Gifts- Bite Beauty

Image
I wanted to start a weekly gift guide that featured quick and easy gifts. First up is Bite Beauty Best Bite lip set. It features four colors  Quince, Rhubarb, Cranberry, and Madeira. It retails for $25 at Sephora, and I think it's a perfect holiday gift.

30 Days of Lips- Day 13

Image
This is another Maybelline Color Sensational in On the Mauve, and to be honest I am on the fence about this color. In some lights it works but I feel like it can come off too frosted on my lips. I might have to top this off with a gloss. 

30 Days of Lips- Day 12

Image
I own several Revlon Lip Butters, and I actually forgot I owned the color Sugar Plum. I am sure glad that I found this because this is the perfect my-lips-but-better color! 

30 Days of Lips- Day 11

Image
I love the Tarte Glamazon 12 hour lipsticks. They are long wearing, go on smoothly and do not dry out my lips. This is the color Foxy and it's a dark pink. If you haven't tried any of these lipsticks please just go pick one up. 

30 Days of Lips- Day 10

Image
OK this is going to shock some of you but this is my only MAC lipstick. The color is Devine Choice and it is one of their mineralize rich lipsticks. The formula is nice, but I am not sold on the color. I bought this one a whim and I was too lazy to return it. Any suggestions on a good MAC lipstick? 

30 Days of Lips- Day 9

Image
OK so here is my most worn lippy of 2013......L'Oreal Colour Caresse by Color Riche in Violet Chiffon. This color is not too bold but not too boring and goes well with a lot of eye looks. It's also a moisturizing formula that feels great on the lips. I just love it!

30 Days of Lips- Day 8

Image
This is Madeira and it is part of a Bite Beauty set called Best Bite at Sephora that comes with 4 lip pencils and this is one of the colors in the kit. Bite lip pencils are creamy and go on smooth. Madeira is an opaque nude color and I like to pair it with a nude gloss.

30 Days of Lips- Day 7

Image
Today's lip is Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Stick in Shanghai. This is another lip color that is perfect for this time of year. It's a satin-matte finish that has a minty tingle when applied. I love it because of it's slim shape, it makes it perfect to throw in a clutch for a night out. 

October Empties

Image
Another month, another bag of empties! I feel so accomplished looking at all the products I finish in the month.

30 Days of Lips-Day 6

Image
On day 6 I am wearing Mally Beauty High Shine Liquid Lipstick in Mally's Look. This is a nude pink with a shiny finish, and I normally layer it on top of other lipsticks. I find the formula not sticky but it can feel heavy on the lips. I would like to try more of Mally's products because I enjoy watching her on QVC.

30 Days of Lips- Day 5

Image
This fun lippy is Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Lavender Voltage. It's a limited edition color but I did see some left at my local Wal-Mart last week. I do think this is a fun color but it can apply a bit patchy and doesn't last very long. I probably should pair it with a lip liner but I don't own any in this shade(silly me I know).

30 Days of Lips- Day 4

Image
This Tarte LipSurgence in Expose is my most worn nude shade. Although it's labeled a matte lip tint, I find this lip crayon full coverage and provides moisture unlike most matte shades. This is one of my favorite lippies. 

30 Days of Lips- Day 3

Image
This a lipstick I won from Influenster, it's Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate in shade 107. I love this color for fall and have been wearing this wine color often. This lipstick has a sweet smell that reminds me of the fruit snacks I give my children. So far I do not  have any complaints with this lipstick, it wears well and isn't drying.

30 Days of Lips- Day 2

Image
This sheer red lip is L'Oreal Colour Riche in Cardinal Plume. I bought this red lipstick thinking it was going to be bolder than what it is. It's really sheer and reminds me of a Revlon lip butter. The formula is moisturizing and I like that I can apply it without a mirror. Great if you want to dip your toe in wearing a red lip. 

30 Days of Lips- Day 1

So lately I have been getting a few comments on my lipstick and I decided to show you 30 days of lips. I got the idea from  MissBudgetBeauty's Blog First up is the Cover Girl Queen Collection lipstick in Berry Bling. This color is a wearable purple (in my opinion) and it has tiny specks of glitter that you can't really see but you can definitely feel on the lips. When I apply this lipstick it's quite scratchy so I don't reach for it that often.
