Well friends I am back from my lovely family reunion, and today has been a little rough. Don't ya just hate the first day back from vacation? Sadly I snapped zero pics but I did want to share my new love for lipstick. See I have always had this fear of lipstick, I really don't know how to describe it I guess I thought if I wore it would look clown-ish. I decided to take the plunge into lipstick land around the beginning of Spring and have never looked back. It seems like every trip I take to the store I have to try out a new shade! Some of my faves are:
Maybelline's Coral Crush
Cover Girl's Temptress Charmeuse
Revlon's Siren
Revlon's Soft Nude
I tried on the nude last week and I am still a little on the fence I think I need to learn some good makeup combo's to pair with it. So do you guys have any favorites? Do share!! Feed my addiction ;)! I could see a full blown obsession with lipsticks in my future ;). Anyone else with me?! Loves friends.
Love love love Siren so much! Also a huge fan of MAC's russian red.

I've been wearing 'tinted lip balm' (mine is from the Covergirl natureluxe stuff ) ALL summer. I love it because it lets a little of my natural color through so I don't have to worry quite as much that it 'matches' my skin tone.

I'm loving the coral craze so I may have to look into this 'Revlon's Siren'. Also I'm pretty sure the 'nude' color is supposed to go well with 'dramatic eyes'.
I have the same fear! I don't want to look like a little girl who played around in mommy's makeup drawer. But I have always wanted to be able to pull off red lips. Maybe I'll be brave one day.
ReplyDeleteI am obsessed with Sephora brand's lipstick in Jealous. I got the recommendation from Kendi's blog - she wears Sephora brand in It Girl
ReplyDeletei looove an orangish red lipstick and nude i love and i also love love love mate plum color. its a red with a little bit of purple! i dunno if i could pull it off but i want some soooo badly!
ReplyDeletei want to wear lipstick!
ReplyDeletei recently bought a beauitiful red by clinique (cant recall the name of it right now) but I want more colors!
I feel like you can REALLY play up your eyes when you wear a nude lipstick... channel your inner Kim Kardashian Morgan! :)
ReplyDeleteRight there... I don't know anything about lipstick... You would think it was simple... but no
ReplyDeletei've been wanting to try that coral shade for the longest time! welcome back from your trip. :)
ReplyDeleteOoo I will for sure have to try it thanks for the tip girl!
ReplyDeleteGirl you for sure have to do it just take the plunge!
ReplyDeleteI'm on such a lipstick kick right now. I got the same exact nude color, but I wasn't totally sold either. It's too much of a brown nude, but I'm also really white so maybe thats why :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of Clinque's Black Honey "almost lipstick", you can also get black honey in a gloss at Sephora, kinda love it!
ReplyDeleteI love lipstick! I think it's addicting because it's such an easy way to switch up a look. Revlon soft nude is actually one of my favs! I like to wear a stronger blush with it so I don't look too washed out. I also like the colors Peach and Fushia from that collection. I've heard great things about MAC lipsticks but have yet to try them.
ReplyDeleteUm we are like twins I swear! Also I hope you don't mind that I seriously repin everything of yours on pinterest, you have such great taste!
ReplyDeleteI promise I was so thinking about getting the Peach!! Same wavelength girl! I have heard good things about MAC lipsticks too but I am just too cheap ;)
ReplyDeleteVery nice colors. Everytime I come back from vacation I need a vacation from vacation!

Steffys Pros and Cons
I love the Soft Nude one, but mine ALWAYS breaks half way through the tube! Like, clean off the base. I try every possible way to fix it but it always breaks again within 3-4 more uses. I still love it, but it looks better when I'm pale and paired with a bit darker gloss.
ReplyDeleteI'm into lipstick again after wearing gloss exclusively for years! I love the nude one too!
ReplyDeleteI am afraid of lipstick and would like to try it out! tell me more! what was your first shade? did you pick it out yourself or have someone help you? how do you know it will go good with your coloring?
ReplyDeleteYou should try OCC in Stalker! I love the red colors. These are some cute colors that I will be trying out.
ReplyDeleteTaking notes! I need a new shade!
ReplyDeleteWork it Anna, but please as if you need any help in the beauty department!
ReplyDeleteOoo I totally will have to thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteHey Tashi! My first was probably some cheap-o wet and wild red. Do not go that route fork out the extra bucks and get a nice one. As far as coloring I just go with my gut, just trail and error you know!
ReplyDeleteI know it's awesome right!
ReplyDeleteNo way girl! You should totally write them and tell them! Maybe they might send you free coupons!
