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! :)))

OPI: 50 Shades of Grey mini collection (part 1)

Well, most females on the planet know by now that

50 Shades of Grey is coming out in two weeks.

As such, (and since Valentine's Day is right around the corner),

I figured I'd do a couple posts featuring OPI's mini collection in honor of the movie.

First,

here's the entire collection:

'

Today, I just have a couple swatches from the collection for you.

First up is 'My Silk Tie'.

Pictured here is 2 coats. 'My Silk Tie' is a silky, metallic silver. Consistency was good,

and it's just as lovely as any other metallic foil :) Lives up to it's name, for sure.

Next up is 'Cement the Deal':

'Cement the Deal' is a lovely, medium to light grey creme.

This is with 2 coats.

I was very pleased with the formula and color of both these polishes.

So far, they are definitely sultry and live up to their collection's intention.

Stay tuned tomorrow to see the rest! :)

Melt Cosmetics- '6six6'

YUSSSSSSS.

It's finally here!

I've been lemming for Six6six from Melt Cosmetics F.O.R.E.V.E.R.,

and it's always been out of stock...

... but not this time!

I wish I had a better camera because my pics just don't do it justice.

BUT, here it is:

'6six6' is an über sultry, deep, matte, oxblood red.

It's the epitome of sexy (to me) and perfect for the Fall and Winter seasons :)

It's bold and beautiful.

I think one of the reasons I love it so much is because it looks nice against my fair skin tone...

not all lipsticks do!

I'm obsessed with the very fair skin, cat eye, and bold red lip this time of year.

Have any of you tried this lipstick?

What are your thoughts?

Bondage, Baby

Okay, so this look has more than just Bondage in it,

but I like the title :P

For anyone starting to feel incredibly uneasy, but Bondage I'm referring to an eyeshadow,

not S&M.

I did a look today using several shadows from Urban Decay's new Vice 3 palette that i acquired a couple weeks ago.

Today was really the first chance I've had to play around with it,

and it's amazeballs.

( full post of swatches coming soon)

The rest of the shadows came from older Vice palettes.

Here's Bondage, Baby.

This look would be a sultry, nighttime/date night look.

The colors I used reminded me very much of Fall, too.

I'm IN LOVE with 'Sonic' and 'Bondage',

and will def use them more in the future.

I used:

'Lucky', 'Sonic', and 'Bondage' are all from Vice 3.

'Ambush' and 'Derailed' are form Vice 2,

and 'Freebird' is from the original Vice!

Check back soon to see full swatches of the Vice 3 palette :)

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?!
