Happy Sunday Funday! Here is another one of ColourPop’s Lippie Pencils in Pepper ($5.00). This one reminded me of their Lippie Pencil in Monkey and performed similar to it. It is described as a pastel pinky lilac, which I would say is quite accurate. I didn’t find it that flattering on me, although I did receive a compliment on it. I…

Happy friggin’ Saturday. And it’s a beautiful one, I might add! I was playing around with my new Anastasia Beverly Hills Artist Palette ($30.00) this morning and came up with a few looks.

ColourPop’s Lippie Pencil in Monkey is an interesting shade on me. It’s described as a mid-tone bright bubble gum pink, and I’d say that’s pretty darn accurate. After I swatched it, I thought it was too bright and might not match my skin tone as I imagined. I’m still on the fence about Monkey, but it doesn’t look as bad…

The Ciate Liquid Velvet Lip Slick in Smitten ($18) is exactly similar to it’s sister I recently reviewed, Swoon in quality and I thought I would show you all what this looks like. This color however, did not go on streaky to my delight and showed up quite vividly on my skin. I certainly had to apply then blot to…

There’s a saying that goes, “do one thing and do it well.” Well that certainly doesn’t apply to Ciaté. When I found out they were releasing a line of makeup at Sephora, other than nail polish, which included a liquid lipstick (my current obsession right now), I got excited. So excited, I ordered right away! I chose the Liquid Velvet Matte Lip…
