Paradise Lost- Curing that Summertime Sadness

Paradise Lost- Curing that Summertime Sadness

I am probably one of the boldest dressers in my office. Dress code is business casual (most days I just go full-on business because I like to dress up) and I spent a small fortune on a new wardrobe once I moved here and found out that there are 4 seasons (sarcasm and shade mixed with a tinge of regret).…

ColourPop Lippie Stix in Fetch

ColourPop Lippie Stix in Fetch

Happy Friday! I just wanted to go ahead and show the other Lippie Stix I purchased from ColourPop, Fetch ($5.00). I had the same experience I did with the previous color, Yasmin. The waxy appearance on the lips, and the pasty look it gives me when I use it as a full lipstick. These photograph well but let me tell…

ColourPop Lippie Stix in Yasmin

ColourPop Lippie Stix in Yasmin

I totally wanted to love these. The ColourPop Lippie Stix ($5.00) look highly pigmented and they are super affordable. Yasmin is described as a full coverage, electric coral matte lip. On me, it was matte, but the color didn’t do anything for me. As far as application, it applied like a crayon. Yes, a wax crayon is what it reminded…

And Another One: Kat Von D. Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Outlaw

I just can’t get enough… I just can’t get enough… This is Kat Von D. Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Outlaw ($19.00). If I had my way, I’d get more of these, but I need to chill out. I went into the store (Sephora) to see what the difference was between Outlaw and Underage Red. From what I could tell (and…

Kat Von D. Everlasting Liquid Lipstick- L.U.V.

I can’t get enough of these liquid lipsticks from Kat Von D. I wasn’t sure that L.U.V. would show up nicely on me but I was more than pleasantly surprised to find that it did. I love how unique the colors in this collection are and that they look great on ladies of all shades.  SEE MORE LIQUID LIPSTICK POSTS…

Kat Von D. Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Bauhau5- Deep Rasberry

I want these in every color. I’m putting two more into my cart as we speak… The Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick is superior to all others! I love it, I love it, I love it! Have I mentioned that I love it? A lot of people stay away from liquid lipstick because it’s drying and when it starts…

Topshop Lips in Mink Lipstick

Topshop Lips in Mink Lipstick

So far, I am very pleased with Topshop’s cosmetics line. I was looking for a new nude lip product and Topshop’s Lips in Mink ($12.00) does the trick for me. For me, this is a true nude. I usually apply lip balm before I put anything on my lips, but I tried this lipstick with and without lip balm and it…

I have been eyeballing beauty products from Topshop for some time. I finally went on ahead and ordered a few things after three glasses of champagne. Funny how that happens… I ended up going with their highlighter in Horizon ($16.00) which I saw on Makeup and Beauty Blog (thanks Karen!), and found two lip items that looked promising. One is…

Clinique Almost Lipstick- Black Honey

Clinique Almost Lipstick- Black Honey

I recently received this as a sample. I had no idea that this product had been out for quite some time. Nevertheless, I like it. I’m not in love with it—but I like it. It seems that it only comes in one color: Black Honey. This product is described as follows: Not quite lipstick, not quite lip gloss but works…
