Covergirl Fall/Winter lipstick- 'Smoky'

Today I have the first of my two last Covergirl lipsticks for you

that are Fall or remotely winter themed.

Tis one was a dud for me since the color turned out to be
nothing that I would wear,
but what do you guys think?
Would you like this shade?

Here's Covergirl's 'Smoky'.

You can see that 'Smoky' appears to be a chocolate brown color

with gold shimmer.

Sounds yummy, right?!

Once on my lips, however... it just wasn't what I thought it would be.

Now, if this really looked in real life like it does in these pictures,

I wouldn't mind it at all!

In reality though, this brown is significantly darker,

ESPECIALLY indoors.

It looked a bit too gothic for my liking.

Plus, in certain light, it looks like I have mud or dirt on my lips.

Not very sexy :c

This is just my personal opinion, though.

Have any others of you tried this color?

What are your thoughts?

Dark, Sultry look w/ Wet N Wild trio

So about a month ago,

I snagged another trio from Wet N Wild at my local CVS.

This one is a trio of black, white, and red,

called 'Three's A Party!'

Using the suggested areas for each shadow this first time,

(for simplicity & more mass appeal)

I did a look with it:

 

:P

I used:

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

'Three's A Party!' trio

Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara

Maybelline 'Red Revival' & 'Plum Perfect 'lipstick

Lime Crime Carousel Gloss in 'Candy Apple'

This combo is nothing new.

In fact, I've used it at least two other times in the past year alone.

However, for this first time using the trio,

I wanted to use the shadows in their traditional spots.

As it turns out, I think the combo is sick

and looks super sexy ;)

Gotta love 'Candy Apple' with this look, too.

What do you guys think?!
