Spring Lippies

Spring is here and it's all about the lips. 

Meet my Spring lip contenders I have been wearing everyday. 

 Lip butters are the name of the game. They are creamy, moisturizing and pigmented. It makes it so easy to swipe and go than laying lipstick then lipgloss everyday. When I feel incredibly girly, I use Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Adventure. It is the best quality lipstick I ever used. I love how it applies thinly on my lips (and it's still pigmented!) It makes it feel like my lips. I hate how some lipsticks applies thickly and it feels like gunk. I love the fresh bright rose pink it imparts on my lips. The gold shimmer in it is just icing on the cake. Gorgeous. Totally worth the splurge. When I want a everyday pink I used Flower Cosmetics in Haute Honeysuckle. It's a turned down version of Chanel's Rouge Coco Shine in Adventure. It's has more of a peach rosy pink  color. Really, it's a your lips but better. Last and certainly not least, my beloved Revlon Lip butter in Juicy Papaya. My favorite Revlon lip butter color. I won't say much about them because I already dedicated a post to them here. 

What are you loving? 

Anastasia Brow Powder

Brows are the most unexciting and difficult part of my makeup routine.

I ran out of Anastasia Brow Wiz, so I thought I should try their brow powder.  

Did you know they changed their packaging? I'm not sure that I like the new design. I love that it's more compact, but old design feels higher quality. 

Anastasia Brow Powder comes in two shades.  I have the shade in Brunette. I thought I had no use for the lighter shade. My black hair would only match the dark shade, right? It turns out mixing of the light and dark colors was the perfect match for my brows. If I tried using just the dark shade, then it would be too dark. 

This is the first time I used brow powder. I'm still getting use to it. It gives more a natural look than a brow pencil does, but it gives me a lack of control. I'm still working on making a sharp line at the end of my eyebrows. Hopefully it'll just take practice. I don't regret buying this stuff at all. This stuff is soft and pigmented. It's so easy to work with. I use Anastasia mini duo angled brush and spooly. 

Do you prefer Brow Wiz or the Brow Powder? 

I Am Returning This: Maybelline 24 hr Color Tattoo in Waves of White

Summer Collections time!! 

I got lucky and got to snatch this beauty.

Maybelline Color Tattoos in Waves of White is duo chrome white cream eyeshadow. It looks so plain in the jar. It's just white, but when you swatch it you'll see so many colorful dimensions. 

These guys are so pigmented! The first time I put this on, I slapped it on with my finger, and it was "woah." 

Instead, I put a really thin layer and it gives a very pretty iridescence. 

Unfortunately, I'm returning this. I have REALLY oily eyelids and here's my proof. It creased on me! I haven't even left the house yet! I'm sure I can put primer on, and it might last. But what I want in a cream eyeshadow is put it on and go. If i have to put on primer and cream eyeshadow, what's the point? I can just put on primer and powder eyeshadow. 

Back to Walmart, we go! 

Revlon Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya

Ladies, this baby is worth the find! 

Why this isn't permanent is beyond me. 

Revlon Lip Butter does not need an introduction. There are thousands of reviews about them. The first few I got was Peach Parfait. I used it to it's bitty end. It's gorgeous, but I noticed it gave me a allergic reaction. My lips peel then later it made my lips sore. A huge bummer. 

I'm sure it was the glitter that affected the allergic reaction, so I decided to try this sucker. This stuff is creamy and hydrating while punching a ton of color. And Juicy Papaya a coral pinky nude color. Is that too much color description? Swatched on my hand, it looks a sheer coral, but on my lips it's pinky coral.  

Is it just me or is there little product in these things? 

Me with Revlon Juicy Papaya. 

Walmart Haul

The Walmart near me has Drew Barrymore's Flower Beauty Cosmetics.

Flower Beauty Lip Butter in Haute Honeysuckle

Flower Beauty Win Some / Rouge Some in Peach Blossom

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Waves of White

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Cool Crush 

Any other stuff I should get from Flower Beauty? 

April 2013 Favorites

 How has it been already a month? 

Didn't I just post a monthly favorites? 

Time goes by too fast. 

CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation: I have been using this every day. This replaced all my Dior and Chanel foundations. The lasting power on this bad boy is unbeatable. If you're wondering, I have NC 20-25 skin and I use 832 'Nude Beige.' 

Benefit High Beam: I never really fell in love with this. I hate packaging and the nail polish applicator. The packaging doesn't help when you're in a rush. Other than that it's a great pinky moonstone highlighter. I love mixing it with the CoverGirl Outlast Foundation for a spring look. 

Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow in Birthday Suit: One of the very few cream shadows that lasts on my oily eyelids. If you are experiencing creasing, try looking down for a few minutes; that lets the cream shadow dry a bit. The color birthday suit is like the color of my skin with lots of mini glitters. I love it. It's like I have no makeup on, but my eyes are poppin'! 

Stila Convertible Color in Peony: I need more colors!!! I shove this on my cheek like no other. I look like a clown, and I don't care. This stuff is gorgeous. A dusty mauve pink that contours my cheek while giving a gorgeous glow. The do fade in time, but it doesn't fade very blotchy or patchy. It's still very pretty. I just need more colors. That's all. 

L'oreal Telescopic Shocking Waterproof Mascara The best discover of this month! It actually holds my curl, which never happens! It doesn't smudge, which doesn't happen! This is a really great day time mascara. It makes your lashes look fake. It's THAT lengthening. I can't believe I found a mascara that holds my curl!! :) 

Such great stuff this month! 

What are your makeup standouts?
