As many of you may know, Nordstrom has a Karl Lagerfeld + ModelCo makeup collaboration, exclusively available on their website. I went into the store and was pleasantly surprised to find that the collection was in store! I made out with one lip product, the Lip Lights in Modern Muse, as I was initially going in there for something else.

I remember when this shade came out. I didn’t buy it right away, but it was on my list. Finally, I got around to purchasing it, and sadly I was disappointed in the shade. Be warned: Beeper looks absolutely nothing like it does on the lips swatch on the ColourPop website. Absolutely nothing like that on my skin tone. This…

I picked up the Sephora Cream Lip Stain Set ($12.00) recently, remembering the full-sized version I picked up and loved. The set comes with four tiny minis.

Get lost in my gaze with ColourPop’s Ultra Satin Lip in the shade Lost. It’s a gorgeous shade of red, a true red on my pigmented lips (it’s described as a warm red brown). This is one of the most enjoyable red lipsticks I own, and it’s ColourPop so it’s crazy cheap at $6.00.

I am fond of Nars. Very fond. They aren’t perfect, but their Powermatte Pigments ($26.00) come pretty freakin’ close. I picked up London Calling and Under My Thumb.

My first Guerlain purchase was a liquid lipstick from a Winter Holiday collection a couple years ago. It was limited edition, it made me feel fancy af, and it was pretty. It sold out quickly and I have waited a long while for the brand to release more. Enter Guerlain Intense Liquid Matte Lipsticks. There are seven shades and are…

The Estee Lauder Pure Envy Liquid Lip Potion (regularly $32.00 but on sale for $16.00) is definitely worth a try! I noticed these on sale a few weeks ago, and snagged the shade Extreme Nude, which at first sounds off-putting, but it’s actually very pretty. It’s a pinky-beige (on my skin tone) and is absolutely beautiful on my skin tone.…

1. Sephora Collection Creme Lip Stain Does it last all day? Yes. I remove during food time and reapply. Is it comfortable, and not drying? Yes. I often forget that I am wearing it. Does it transfer? Slightly Does it apply evenly and opaque? Yes!

By now, everyone that loves lipstick has heard about ColourPop’s Ultra Blotted Lips. I was very excited to try them out, and even took one of the colors with me to Turks & Caicos. The formula is supposed to be a lightweight, transfer-proof matte formula. There are eight colors and I bought two of them. I found that the experience…

There’s not one Make Up For Ever purchase I regret. This is a brand that I will continue to sweat and praise because they offer quality products at a reasonable price point and they don’t leave any skin tone out. So when they released the Artist Liquid Lipstick ($20.00), there was no hesitation to go check them out. My skin…

I’ll say that again. The Sephora Cream Lip Stains ($14.00) make me want to abandon all other brands of liquid lipstick. You heard that right. Now will I actually do it? Nah. I like shiny new things too much and I’m way too impulsive of a person for that to happen but these liquid lipsticks are the BOMB. My skin type…

When the Giorgio Armani Lip Magnets ($38.00) came out, people seemed really into them. I held off because they’re pricey, I am trying to be more cautious of over-hyped products, and I was just really unsure about the colors. Also, it’s not like I need another liquid lipstick but whatevs. I love the Maestro Fusion Foundation and the Eye Tints…

I know I said I was going to chill on liquid lipsticks, but there was something about the Burberry Liquid Lip Velvets that I just couldn’t get my mind off of. It might have been the high marks and praise they received from Temptalia, or just the fact that I don’t think I own any makeup from Burberry and thought…

I was able to purchase The Balm Meet Matte Hughes Long-Lasting Liquid Lipstick (reg. $17.00) over the Black Friday/Cyber Monday Weekend at 50% off… Man! I can’t believe that was over a month ago! I picked up colors that I thought might flatter my skin tone: Trustworthy, Loyal, and Sentimental. Top: Trustworthy; Middle: Sentimental; Bottom: Loyal Dried down Trustworthy Sentimental…

I finally got a chance to try the liquid lipsticks from Anastasia Beverly Hills ($20.00). Not sure what took me so long to get a hold of these, perhaps the competition in the liquid lipstick realm is just too fierce. Kathryn and Veronica are mortal enemies, I’m afraid. The performance of these two are so opposite to each other. I…
