Favorite Sring Lippies

Hey guys, I am really excited to share my favorite spring lippies with y'all. I love spring and it's a great time to break out some fun bright colors. I've incorporated liquid lipsticks, regular lipsticks, a crayon type lipstick and a few lip glosses.

 Here are swatches from each lippie seen pictured above in the same order.

Starting with the first one, it is the Two Faced Melted in Peony

This is such a beautiful color.  It's not as in your face as some of the colors I will be sharing but it's also not a nude color.         

The next one is also by Two Faced in Fuchsia

I was a little torn with picking this one because it is so bold.  This is one of those lippies that is perfect for the spring and summer. The thing is that there really aren't rules about when you can or can't wear certain colors, just where what you like when you want.                       

Moving on to Stila (by far some of my all time favorite liquid lippies!) in Como

This is such a stunning color. I know purple is one of those colors that you either love or hate. I personally love it! (I contemplated adding Heroine by MAC too but I decided on this tone better)

Next is also by Stila in Patina

This is a beautiful mauve color. This is one of those colors that can look very different on everyone based on your skin tone. I really enjoy this color. 

It was SO hard to minimize my all time favorite lipsticks MAC to two favorite spring ones.

Let's start with MAC Creme de la femme (my only Frost lipstick)

Ok as I've already mentioned I am usually not a fan of frosted lipsticks at all but let me tell you this color is absolutely gorgeous! It has a light sheen but what I love about it is that it's literally a perfect you lip color but better. When I wear this it makes my lips look smooth, moisturized and just gorgeous. I get so many compliments when I wear this color. It's one that you have to try to see for yourself.








Next is also by MAC in Rebel

Ok most will think I'm crazy because it looks so dark and most are trying to get away from dark tones for the spring. Here's the thing though this is such a beautiful plummy purple. It's so pretty. Check out the swatch it's so so pretty.












Next up I am going to share Colourpop Lippie Stix in Brink

This color is so pretty because it's a peachy nude. The color pay off on these lippie stix's are amazing. They are also very comfortable to wear. This is what I reach for when I feel I want a subtle color with a hint of orange. It is such a lovely color.











Next up I have Bite Beauty lip gloss in Bellini

This gloss is pretty pigmented for a gloss and extremely beautiful. It has a little tackiness to it but nothing uncomfortable or annoying. I love hoe pretty it makes my pout look.












Next up are the lovely and all time favorite lip glosses for me.
The NXY Butter gloss in Apple Strudel and Raspberry Tart

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love these lip glosses. These are so comfortable, they smell SO good. I love everything about these glosses. These are not highly pigmented by any means but they are lovely. 

 You made it to the end congrats!! Here is a last picture of my swatches for your reference with the names listed.

Thank you SO much for stopping by!

Have a fantastic week. 

Monthly Favorite January 2016

Hey guys welcome to February!! Omg just like that the first month of the new year has flown by. January was a great month to try out new things though. These were all my top favorites for the month.

Starting off let's go right into the :
Tarte Stroke of midnight limited edition Airbrush Flawless Foundation brush

This has been NO joke the most loved and used item this month. I need to seriously wash mine because every single time I have done my makeup I've used this amazing brush. Because of this brush I will be purchasing future Tarte Holiday Brush sets without thinking twice about it. If you want to read more about this and the other brushes in this collection click here.

Next fave to follow is also a Tarte product:
The Holiday Tarte 2015 Limited Edition Light Party Makeup Set

Here is another product that I just love so much! I also did a full post on this gem so click here if you want to read all about it. I love everything in this palette it was a great Christmas present to myself.

Next up we have the Colourpop Kathleen Lights Where the night is colab.

You guys these shadows are GORGEOUS!!! I love all four of them but if I had to pick my #1 from these shadows, hands down the rose gold color in Weenie it's amazeballs! If you guys have never tried colourpop shadows you are missing out. My obsession with this brand is legit!

Next up is a new setting spray by Maybelline Master fix

I am totally loving this you guys. I think I like it better than the Loreal one. It's a little cheaper and just as good! I love that it didn't break me out. I purchased the wet n wild spray which I actually really liked but then it broke me out, sad face! So that one is not good if you have sensitive skin. This one worked wonders and didn't cause any breakouts!

Next is the Lush: Herbalism 

You guys this stuff is amazing for sensitive problematic skin.This has done wonders for my skin and I highly recommend it. Yet another product that I did a full post on, check it out here.

Next is my new HOLY GRAIL nude lip color obsession!
Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Bow N Arrow 

Where has this lipstick been my entire life? I love love love it! Can you tell ;)
Guys this color is so deceiving it looks NOTHING like the package claims it should. I just happen to go into a Sephora and tried it on. It's gorgeous!

Here is a little selfie with me wearing this gorgeous lipstick. Not at all what it looks like in the tube right? Like I said it's worth you checking out.

I hope I haven't bored you too much, here is the last product of the month.
MAC lipstick in Stone

This has to be one of the most difficult colors for anyone to describe. To me it's a muted grayish taupe-brown with a Matte finish. This is such a unique color, I really love it and it's a great addition to my MAC collection!

 And you know I had to include another selfie of me wearing this gorgeous lipstick!

Ok guys that sums up my January monthly favorites, thank you so much for stopping by.

Have a great day and enjoy February!

May Monthly Favorites

This is one of my favorite videos to watch on YouTube so I decided I would make it a monthly post. It is insane that tomorrow is the last day of May. This year is going by so quickly. This was definitely a great month to try out so many new products though. Here are a few that I used and have loved this month.

Jaclyn Hill Favorites collaboration with Morphe:

I wanted to start off with the very anticipated Jaclyn Hill Favorites collaboration with Morphe. I was so happy when I heard that Morphe was relaunching it because I didn't get it the first time around.  This is limited edition palette and I knew I had to have it because Jaclyn Hill is perfection! The palette itself is super pretty. If you couldn't get this palette don't fret my friends you can get the individual colors (please refer to picture for color reference). You can purchase these colors on the Morphe website for just $2 each. Don't let the price fool you, I will sum it up by telling you guys that these are very pigmented colors, they are all incredibly smooth and they don't have crazy fallout everywhere.  I love this palette to the point that I ordered other individual shades which I love just as much.

Kathleen Lights Collaboration with ColourPop:

My next favorite is from the beautifully talented Kathleen Lights, another gorgeous YouTuber. Can you guys tell I have a little addiction watching YouTube?! ha ha ha. Any ways she did an awesome collaboration with ColourPop. If you have never tried their products I urge you too. They are amazing in every aspect of the word. They are super pigmented and very creamy. This is not my first ColourPop purchase and I know it won't be my last. This made it in my favorites this month because I have been wearing the heck out these shadows. My favorite shadow is the one she named after herself (Kathleen Lights) it's SO pretty!

Lush Lip Scrub: 

The Lush lip scrub has done wonders for my lips. I am unfortunate in that I have horribly dry lips, this product helps me so much. I use it at least once or twice a week. I am huge Lush fan in general, all of their products are natural. They have a few fun flavors to pick from too. I even got one of my sisters into their stuff.

L'oreal Magic Lumi:

This was a product suggested by my friend Becci and I love it so much! I do not use this product as a primer as it's meant to be used. I have normal to oily skin, meaning my T-zone is oily however the rest of my face is normal. I actually use this product with my full coverage foundations to sheer it out and to add that gorgeous luminosity to my skin. I highly recommend it.

Maybelline Fit me Matte + Poreless:

I love this powder. It is finely milled, it's super silky soft. I use this to set my foundation and through out the day to touch up when needed. It does not cake up one bit, it's wonderful. I especially love the price. Can't go wrong with this powder, sometimes I even use it alone as my foundation.This is a great drugstore product that I use instead of my Makeup Forever high end powder.


Beauty Secrets:

There is not much to say about this product other than it's great. I love how it smells (like coconuts). It keeps my cuticles nice and moisturized. I get this at Sally's Beauty Supplies. I have recently been getting my nails done, and this product has helped my cuticles from looking thick and nasty.



 
Revlon Lash Adhesive:
 
This is my holy grail eyelash glue and the fact that it came out in black, sold me. I love it just as much if not a little more than the original. I have tried a lot of eyelash glues and this is the best, hands down.I am allergic to latex and this product doesn't have it and it doesn't irritate my eyes.


 
Morphe Contour Brush:

Ok this is one of the first (but not last) Morphe brushes I have ever owned and I am WOWED by how soft and amazing this is. My contour game is on point thanks to this little guy! I bought a set of Morphe brushes, so stay tuned for that brush review.




 
Real Techniques Blending and Lash-brow groomer:

Real Technique brushes are by far one of my favorite brushes out there. They are extremely affordable and awesome. They are so soft and do exactly what they are meant to do. These are two of my newer Real Technique brushes and I am LOVING them!

 

Benefit Roller Lash:

You guys made it to the end, this one is the last but certainly not least. I have used it non stop since getting it. I love it. It does not flake it's very black and it helps keep my curl. This one is a little pricy but hey, sometimes you do get what you pay for. I personally love it!

Thank you SO much for hanging out with me today, sorry this post was a bit long. I will try to have fewer favorites in the future. Feel free to give me any suggestions you might have. Thank you for all of your love and support, please don't forget to follow and have a fabulous weekend!

Much Love,
