Obsession: Bold Lips

It has been so long since I last wrote a blog post! I think the last time I made one was either before or in the beginning of fall semester.....DEDICATION RIGHT HURRR!

Anyways, I have fallen in love with a new trend( at least for me!). Bold lips have been gracing my lips for the past month and I can't stop! I especially love matte bold lips because it is not as busy as a satin and gives off a much more chic look.

The colors I have especially liked are:
Wet n' Wild Mega Last Matte Lipsticks in: Smokin' Hot Pink and Purty Persimmon
Covergirl Lip Perfection Lipstick in: Hot

I especially love these because they stain my lips as well! Now don't get me wrong, I do not constantly wear bold lips. I understand they can be overbearing and that may not be your style. If you do want to try out these colors, I suggest tapping it on your lips and smudge with your fingers and build up to your desired pigmentation.

Now, it's picture time!

  

Wet n' Wild Lipstick in in Purty Persimmon. I would say it is an orange-red lipstick that really suits yellow undertones.

Wet n' Wild Lipstick in Smokin' Hot Pink. A dusty rose/cool toned pink that would probably suit a lot of skin tones. This one is my favorite because it is bold, but not as crazy as the others. 

Covergirl Lipstick in Hot. This color is said to be Taylor Swift's lip color and boy, do I like it! It is a pink toned red(if that helps) and is absolutely universal. 

Disclaimer: if you don't like you lips stained, don't try these out because they stain your lips like crazy!

That's all folks! Thank you for reading!

Simple Drugstore Look: Every Day Edition

Today, I am going to show you a look that I have really liked. It is a really easy look and you can adapt it in a way that you like. You can stop after the first step or do every single step and even add more colors. It is a very neutral look so it's not all up in your face. As an added bonus, the look is pretty much all drugstore. Cheap, but awesome at the same time!

Products Used:

Face

Skin79 Oriental Gold BB Cream

Maybelline Dream Matte Powder in Sand

NYC Smooth Skin Bronzer in Sunny

Eyes

Wet n' Wild Eyeshadow Palette in Comfort Zone

Maybelline Ultra Liner in Black

Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara(Waterproof)

For tools, I pretty much only use ELF so there is nothing really specific that you should use.

For the face products, this is just what I use. I love these products, but you may have products you prefer.

This is the only eyeshadow palette I am using. It is super cheap ($4.99) and really amazing. You can find this at Walgreens. I labeled each side as Side 1 or Side 2.

Apply the browbone color on your browbone and the eyelid color up to your crease from Side 1. Don't go past the crease.

Add the crease color from Side 1. Make sure you blend it in really well.

Add the define color from Side 1 to the outer v. For me, I like it a bit subtle, so I did it with a very light hand.

This is what the look open so far.

For some added drama, I added the gorgeous( and I mean gorgeous!) define eyeshadow from Side 2 to the middle of my eyelid. The color is simply gorgeous!

So I finished it off with eyeliner and mascara. Voila! We are done! Easy-peasy lemon squeazy! 

Now even though this is not exactly part of the tutorial, I just really wanted to show you this color. It is the Revlon Just Kissable Balm Stain in Romantic. I have a very sheer layer, but it can definitely be made to be more opaque. Love it!

The format I used was inspired by Urban Babe. She posts about makeup, life, and it is all really interesting/helpful. You should definitely check her out!

Anyways, I hope this was at least slightly interesting.

Product Rave: Wet n' Wild Jumbo Juicy Flavored Lip Balm

Quick post! I found the Wet n' Wild Jumbo Juicy Flavored Lip Balm at the Dollar store in a pack of two so I decided to buy it. I actually really like it!

credits: chaptastic.blogspot.com

 I like it even more than the Maybelline Baby lips. It is a lot more hydrating for me and I like the flavor. I have it in Orange and Grape, but don't get the Grape. It smells like Grape flavored medicine. EW! I don't think they are very expensive(considering that they are from Wet n' Wild) and they have quite a bit of product. I'm not saying that the Baby Lips are not good because I still love them, especially the tinted ones. Just give this one a try as well!

Holy Grail

I noticed that recently I have been only using certain products. These products are the one I reach for and I really do love them a lot. I can honestly say these are my holy grail makeup products.

Maybelline Dream Matte Powder in Sand

This is the product I use to set my foundation or when my face is a little shiny. It mattifies my face really well and it is nearly translucent. It has a hint of color, but not enough to change the color of your face.

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Rose & Shine

This lipstick is a bit like my natural lip color, only a hundred times better! It has a pearl finish so it is not too shimmery and it is a bit of a cooler tone lipstick. It is a bit moisturizing so it does not have a long staying power, but I don't mind re-applying it.

Wet n' Wild Creme Eyeliner in Black

This eyeliner has got to be the best eyeliner I have ever tried! It is nice, creamy and super affordable at 3 dollars. The packaging is lacking some, but for 3 dollars, how can you complain?

That's all I have for holy grail items as of right now. Thanks for reading!

Oiseau88 Inspired Look

Oiseau88 posted a flirty first date look which I thought was quite pretty and would be great as an everyday look!

Here is my take on it(please excuse my uneven lids!)

Open

Closed

The only difference between hers and mine is that I added a bit more depth to the outer corner. It is hard to see, but this is the best quality I can get as of right now. For some reason, one of my eyes look like I have really long lashes(at least for me!) so I am really liking this camera angle, whatever angle it is.

Here is the product list for everything I used:

Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Strawberry Milk

Wet n' Wild Eye Shadow Trio in Walking on Eggshells

Wet n' Wild Cream Liner

Milani EasyLiner Retractable Pencil in Espresso

Obsession: Korean Natural Makeup

Lately, I have been obsessed with the way Koreans do their natural makeup. It looks completely flawless and natural. I still haven't been able to achieve that look, but I have been trying. Especially the eyes. I feel the eyes really make the look not look over done.

I tried...Maybe a better camera quality next time?

Plus, my skin has been looking super shabby lately...

Product list:

Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden

Wet n' Wild Eye Shadow Trio in Walking on Egg Shells

Wet n' Wild Cream Eyeliner in Black

Anyways, I have been given the okay to buy the Skin79 Oriental Gold BB Cream and I may or may not be really happy right now! 

Isn't it B-E-A-UTIFUL?!

I can't wait to order it on Thursday!
