Revlon's Matte Lip Balm- 'Sultry'

Happy Sunday Funday!

Ya'll know I have a slight obsession with Revlon's matte lip balms.

I snagged a new shade in the grocery store the other day,

'Sultry'!

Sultry is a medium-rose shade.

Here it is in indoor lighting:

... and natural lighting:

(definitely more pink)

I'm IN LOVE with these lip balms.

There hasn't been a single once I've tried that I didn't like.

They're a great price, go on super smoothly, last long, smell good, and are super easy to apply.

What more could you want?!

I haven't tried the lip balms that have a shine/sheen to them yet as matte is my favorite look.

Have you tried any of Revlon's balms- matte or not?

Frigid February

So, in honor of us here in TN having record breaking sub-zero temperatures tonight,

I have a frosty, frigid look :)

I decided to do a darker color on my inner corners

rather than on the outer side, like usual.

I like how it turned out :)

I wish you could see the glitter and sparkle from a couple of the pigments I used more, 

but I'm overall pleased! :)

I used:

Too Faced's Shadow Insurance

UD's 'Truth'- brow bone

Sugarpill's 'Afterparty' & SYN Cosmetics' 'Famous'- crease

SYN Cosmetics' 'Dap'- highlight

UD's 'Heroine' & SYN Cosmetics' 'Delusion'- inner corners

UD's 'Kiddie Pool'- lid

Younique 3D lash mascara- lashes

V-Day look :)

I'm sure many of you lovely ladies have plans for Valentine's day,

single or not.

If so, you might want fun but wearable Valentine's day look.

I've created one today that I would totally wear out for the holiday.

<3

I used:

Too Faced's Shadow Insurance

Sleeks 'Parma Violet' & 'Flump'- crease

Lime Crime's 'Pearl-ple' & SYN Cosmetics' 'Case'- highlight

SYN Cosmetics' 'Trace'- inner corners

SYN Cosmetics' 'Dash'& 'Smooch'- lid

SYN Cosmetics' 'Romance'- lower lash line

Revlon's 'Matte Balm in 'Elusive'- lips

I actually really liked this look.

It's soft and flirty :))

Colourpop Cosmetics lippie stix- 'Dalia'

So not only is the name of this lippie six seductive,

but WAIT until you see this bad boy.

With Valentine's day right around the corner-

if you're wanting to feel sexy and daring...

slap this sucker on.

Here's 'Dalia':

Sorry for the ghettofabulous pics;

I know they're a bit of a mess.

I've been super busy lately,

but I had to get this bad boy out!

For just $5, you can't beat it.

ColourPop Lippie Stix 'Ellarie'

Well, I have a newfound obsession.

I was told by GaGa for Nails to try Colourpop Cosmetics,

and I'm highly impressed!

I bought two matte lippie stix from them;

here is the first!

'Ellarie'

This hippie stix is described as a "deep, sultry cranberry"...

uh, yes, please!

Here it is in indoor lighting:

Annnnd in natural lighting:

It's absolutely gorgeous,

though I found it to be much lighter than the picture portrayed on their website.

Either way, I love it.

These stix are super easy to apply (even with my shaky hands)

and they feel great on.

Can't wait to buy more! :)))

Newest beauty mail :)

With Valentine's Day rapidly approaching,

I've made some online purchases for future makeup looks that came in recently :)

Here are my newest pigments from SYN Cosmetics!

Tada!!

I <3 them :)

* SEMI-REVIEW * Covergirl's Colorlicious Lip Lava 'Mauva Lava'

Happy Sunday Sunday, everyone!

This particular product caught my eye in Walgreens the other day.

I've only ever tried to the Outlast lipstick from Covergirl, and it's been okay,

so I figured I'd branch out just a bit and try this gloss.

The color looked gorg,

so I was pretty excited.

The Product

Here's the product on Covergirl's website:

I mean, that color looks seductive and awesome, right?!

Here it is on:

Review:

Though it does "saturate" my lips with color as it claims,

the consistency of this gloss SUCKS.

I've tried other glosses with the same feel,

and I hate it.

It's sticky and thick.

No way I could kiss anyone or anything with this bad boy on without totally grossing them out and making a mess :/

It's a shame, really,

because I was very impressed with the color quality.

If you don't plan on kissing anyone or being in wind with hair longer than your temples-

you might be fine ://

Verdict:

This stuff isn't really expensive, but I still wouldn't waste the money.

There are other loses out there that give you color saturation and shine

without feeling like you've got thick glue or paste on your lips.

This would be a last resort for me.

RATING (OUT OF 10): 2

Out of This World look

So over the past few years

I've become increasingly obsessed with galaxy anything- shoes, scarves, prints, phone cases, swim suits- you name it.

Why?

I'm a hippy at heart, I guess ;)

Anyway,

I decided to create a look based off of one 

of the many gorgeous photos of this awe inspiring 'place' :)

And here's the look:

I used:

Too Faced's Shadow Insurance

UD's 'Bobby Dazzle'- inner corners

BFTE's 'Raspberry' &, Sleek 'Pout', Victorian Disco 'AK-47'- (pink part),

Urban Decay 'Flash' & SYN Cosmetics' 'Pandora' (purple part)- lid

Sugarpill's 'Afterparty & SYN Cosmetics' 'Famous'- crease

SYN Cosmetics' 'Bust'- highlight

Victorian Disco's 'Stun Grenade' silver glitter

L'Oreal Butterfly Intenza mascara

What are yawls thoughts?

I had a great time creating this look.

The colors were exactly what I wanted,

and then once I put that VD glitter on-

I loved it :P
