Charlotte Tilbury x Norman Parkinson Matte Revolution Lipstick – 1975 Red & Eyes to Mesmerise – …

Eyes To Mesmerise Cream Eye Shadow in Mona Lisa is described as a clever cream-to-sheen formula in a wisteria-chocolate bronze. It was designed to recreate the soft-focused smokey stare of da Vinci’s leading lady; hence the name Mona Lisa. Why you’ll love it: • The revolutionary water-infused formula has a cooling effect on hard-working eyes • Easy glide-on formula won’t drag…

Lorac Alter Ego Lipstick in Goddess

Lorac Alter Ego Lipstick in Goddess

Lorac’s Alter Ego Lipstick ($16.00)is described as a highly-pigmented matte lipstick, so it was only natural that I picked up the color Goddess, a mauve-ish color. I also like the idea of lipstick claiming to improve the health of your lips, although there would be no real way of me knowing if it were true unless I wore it every day.…

Budget Nude Lip: NYX B52

Budget Nude Lip: NYX B52

Hey all. I just wanted to share with you another nude lip in my stash (for dark skin). Sometimes, I like to go for a really subtle lip, especially for work. I usually use a nude lip when I do a smoky eye, or when my eye makeup is a bit overwhelming so as not to appear as if I…

ColourPop Rocket: The Last of the Lippie Saga…

For now! Have a look at this beautiful pink Lippie Pencil from ColourPop called Rocket($5.00). In the photos, I did apply lip balm over it to set it and make it look more like a lip color instead of a lip pencil. If you’re new to my blog, I use the Lippie Pencils as a full on lip color because…

In Bloom: ColourPop Lippie Pencil in Julep and Playing Around with Anastasia

In Bloom: ColourPop Lippie Pencil in Julep and Playing Around with Anastasia

The ColourPop Lippie Pencil in Julep is described as a bright red coral. On me, it showed up more coral than anything and it wasn’t super bright, but that’s the way I prefer it (lest I look like a clown). I once again used the pencil as a full on lip color. Application was effortless, starting out with lining the…

The Perfect Nude Lip for Dark Skin: MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Rouge in Rosewood (2)

The Perfect Nude Lip for Dark Skin: MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua …

I’ve found it. The perfect nude lip. Yes, I said it; perfect. For someone my skin tone, of course. All nude lips are not made equal. For me, they usually have to be a pinkish nude to work, but this here just blends right in to the rest of my skin without looking brown.  My gosh… all hail MAKE UP…
