My Favorite Lipsticks!!!!

Hello there bloggers!!!!

I hope all is well & its been a while since i have posted in the blog but since i started making youtube videos i kindof have been finding it a lil easier to do videos than a blog post but i have not abandoned you guys!!! Let me move along to my favorite lipsticks.. they are 5 very different lipsticks by 5 different brands & 5 totally different colors & it done in no specific order.

1. NYX in Violet Ray

This is a very dark purple/ plum lip color, it doesn't last a very long time on but i still find it to be a very unique color! It has a type of gloss to it so you don't have to apply lip gloss.

2. NYC in Retro Red

This is a very matte red which i loveee i have it in the look i did with red lips previously & it stays on for a fairly long time .

3. Wet & Wild in 511B (hot pink)

Its a matte hot pink that stays on for a veryyyy long time I love wearing this lipstick when I dont do a dramatic look because its a very eye catching color.

4. Benefit in Fame Game

This is my baby!!! lol i had previous;y posted my haul post on this & im still inlove with it!! i explain that its a nice nude color with a little shimmer to it.. its just gorgeous!!

5. M.A.C in Urgent!

I love this lipstick because its a nice pink that can be put on with any type of look its nice & light blends with most lip tones & looks a little glossy after applied!

I hope you guys enjoyed this post i will be also posting a video on youtube so you guys can go see that & see the products for yourself!! I hope all is well & you all have a great day!

Till Next Time!

My Biggest & I mean BIGGEST Wish..

Hey Lovelies,

This is a short blog post so let me begin by saying don't expect much LOL. Anyhow, as you guys may have realized, the Makeup and Beauty Community is pretty large. When I started out playing with makeup and slowly becoming obsessed over it I had no clue there were many people with my same exact obsession. When I discovered YT and All these Beauty blogs I was extremely happy because I got to learn and hear from people who share my passion for Beauty related topics. Now that I am very involved with the makeup community (and by "involved" i mean that i am subscribed to many beauty related channels on YT and I follow a numerous amount of beauty blogs as well as follow many of these talented individuals via twitter & facebook) I keep hearing about the well-known "IMATS" - International Makeup Artist Trade Show. I discovered what the IMATS was this summer when I started my blog and YT. Now I can only DREAM really hard of going. I purchase makeup on a budget so that tells you sort of where I am financially. With that said, I doubt I can go to the IMATS anytime soon for any of the upcoming shows. But Seriously... it is one of my dreams to go to one of these shows and experience the talent of many that share this crazy passion with me. Well, on that note i'm going to go to bed and just dream of being in the IMATS someday LOL thanks for stopping by guys and til' next time!!

XOXO

Subtle Red Lips

Hey Everyone,

How are you all doing?? Well a few weeks ago I tweeted about how I "daRED" to wear red lipstick outside. Because I am so pale I have always been afraid to wear red lipstick outside. I've always loved how red lipstick make people look so nice and sophisticated without doing much but wearing the lipstick but for some reason I didn't feel confident enough to go outside wearing it. Although this isn't a bold red lip I think it is one step closer to it. In this look I wore Maybelline's Color Sensational Lipstick in Red Revival. The color is really beautiful and build-able. I personally chose to wear it this way but it can look more bold if you really want it to look that way. What do you guys think?? I might just do the look they use to advertise this lipstick someday like this----->

Anyhow here are two more pictures of me wearing this lipstick in a more toned down way.

Anyhow As Usual... Thank You guys for stopping by SO much!! Leave me some feedback and if you enjoy this blog click the follow button on the side column :-)

Til Next time guys..

XOXO

Amethyst Smokes - Maybelline Expert Wear Quad & Some Talking <3

Haylo Beautiful People,

Today was my.. I guess you can say "month-aversary" with my Boyfriend. Four years and a Month and by today I mean 1/10/10 even though this will be posted on 1/11/10 LOL. But yeah.. we went to eat at my favorite spot: Bubba Gump and then we went to Sephora so I could get "metro chic" nail polish from Sephora by OPI. He rushed me in Sephora because he knew I would spend hours in there and after that we went to see "Youth Revolt" <- It was definitely a great & funny movie. So I guess today went well. So now i'm home reading magazines and I went through some of my pictures and found this one. This is a picture of my makeup for a night out. My roommate had gotten a bunch of eyeshadows from the drug store and I picked "Amethyst Smokes" from the Maybelline Expert Wear Quads. I decided to follow the steps as it said just because I wouldn't like the colors in any other combination. I was impressed with the pigmentation on these eyeshadows quite honestly. I didn't expect these colors to go on so smoothly and with such vibrant colors. I had stopped buying drugstore eyeshadows (with the exception of H.I.P. duos) and decided to stick to department store brand just because I felt that it was worth paying more to get more. I feel that the Maybelline Expert Wear Quad in "Amethyst Smokes" is pretty awesome. This is the only Quad I can speak for since it is the only one I have used but I have read many reviews on the others and they are not that bad as well. Therefore two thumbs up for these shadows. If you like any of these or were thinking of getting them, do so. I doubt you will regret it. In the picture above I used my Boots Botanics cream liner in black and my Rimmel London Sexy Curves Mascara in Very Black. These also worked pretty well. Look how amazing my eyelashes look...People dared to say they were fake but Nope! all mine. Hope you enjoyed this post :-) And as usual.. Til' next time ladies & gents <3

xoxo

P.S. I am soo Sorry this picture looks so small!

Mini Haul!

Hello there bloggers,

This is a haul on things i bought this past Monday and today! its nothing major but i am in love! =]

#1 Kirkland Signature by Borghese Cosmetic Brushes



So I have seen seeing many makeup gurus on youtube bragging about how these brushes were GREAT!... & let me tell you they were def not kidding about the texture!.. it is synthetic bristles but it definitely does not feel that way, the way i described it was "it feels like touching the outside of brand new Ugg boots! I have not tried the brushes yet so i am not able to say if they shed or whatever the case may be but for the price I am satisfied already!.. it brings 12 brushes(2 powder brushes 1 travel & 1 regular, 1 large flat top brush, 1 large angled foundation brush, 2 eye shadow brushes 1 travel& 1 large, 2 eye blending brushes 1 travel & 1 large, 2 flat eyeliner brushes 1 travel, 1 large, 1 large eye smudger brush, & 1 brown brush and Spooley Duo), 2 cases 1 for the travel brushes & 1 for the large brushes, and last but not least a eyelash curler.. & all of this for... *Drum Roll* REG. Price $19.99 but i guess it was on sale for $13.97 sold only at Costco...

#2 Full Finish Lipstick by Benefit



Well this lipstick was unexpectedly purchased.. I was given a gift card for Macy's during the holiday season & i was spending a day with the #1 woman in my heart my beautiful co-author Michelle of course!!lol & we went to Macy's because she wanted to go to Macy's, so i have been wanting a nude lipstick & out of no where im like i want a lipstick like what Kim Kardashian wears (Michelle's idol) and the sales associate shows me the color called Fame Game & it is gorgeous, I tried this lipstick yesterday and i was amazed at how long is stays on in a 6 hour period i only had to re apply once which surprised me its a shimmery nude & its just beautiful because it doesn't have a cakey looking finish like most matte lip colors do & this item is $18.00

#3 Creaseless cream shadow/ liner by Benefit



I was going to get a paint pot from MAC but the sales associate at benefit did a "make over" to Michelle & I, which we think she doesn't really know what she is doing but whatever i fell in love with the color called birthday suit it can be used the same exact way as paint pot & i used this product yesterday with a nice brown & purple smokey eye & may i say i received many compliments.. its the type of color that can make any eye color pop especially if applied with focus in the inner eye corner, this product is $19.00

Well this is the end of my mini haul hope this was helpful.. Please go check out the Whytheblush youtube channel Michelle is preparing a lot of new and exciting videos... till next time!!
