Purple Lips (swatches)!

Purple is my favorite color so of course I love purple lips! When I first got into makeup the thought of wearing purple lipstick scared me, but it has definately grown on me! Right now I only have four purple lipsicks ranging from lavendar to deep violette and two lipglosses which are practically identical that go well on top of all the lipsticks. My Purple Lipsticks are Mac Lavender Whip (LE), Revlon Berry Haute (Mac Up The Amp dupe),Loreal Violet Vamp, and Mac Violetta (Pro/Venomous Villains). I own two lip liners both from Mac that go with all these lipstick, they are Magenta and Nightmoth. Out of laziness I only applied lipliner and lipgloss with Lavender Whip since that is the only one that absolutely needs it. If I were wearing these out I would atleast wear lipliner. Enjoy!

Mac Violetta

I love all of these lipstick especially Berry Haute and Violetta! If you are considering trying Up the Amp but are unsure you should definately head to a drug store and pick up Berry Haute. The colors are almost identical. Also if you like Funtabulous Dazzleglass and don't want to spend the 18$ or just need a lipgloss for your purple lipsticks the Milani lipgloss is definately a great and cheaper alternative!



Lace, Leapord Print, and Ruby Woo!

I'm a day late, but Happy New Year! I am so upset with myself because I planned on posting pics of my New Years Eve hair, outfit, and make up, but of course something went wrong. Somehow my camera turned on in my bag and my battery died before we even made it to the lounge :(. I didnt get one picture from that night. I did however take pictures of my outfit after, but my hair and makeup were ruined by that point lol so i couldnt get a picture of the whole look. My hair was straight with pin curls and I kept my makeup pretty simple and wore Ruby Woo the best red lipstick everrr. 

I loveee these shoes. I have wanted leapord print shoes since forever and i finally found some I like! They are as comforatable as they can be for 5 1/4 inches.

Here is a swatch of Ruby Woo :

I paired it with Brick Lipliner also from Mac. Ruby Woo is a very vibrant matte retro red. This lipstick is very drying because it is so matte but I love it!

In the Nude- My favorite nude lipsticks for dark skin!

I wasnt very interested in the Tartan Tale collection and didnt plan on getting anything, but I ended up ordering The Faerie Glen at the last minute since I loveeee nude lips! My go to nude is MAC Touch lipstick with  MACs Mad Cap lipgloss and MACs Cork Lipliner, I also own MACs Fresh Brew. Touch and Fresh Brew are both Lustre formulas. Touch is a peachy brown shade, and Fresh Brew is the color of creamed coffee. Fresh Brew is lighter and has more brown undertones while Touch is darker and more peach.
The Faerie Glen, which is limited edition, is a also a Lustre formula and is a light nuetral color with pink undertones. The Faerie Glen is more similar to Touch, it is just lighter and more pink than peach.

Left to Right: The Faerie Glen, Fresh Brew, Touch

(Sorry, since they are all lustres they are pretty sheer on my arm so it was hard to get good side by side swatches)

Here are some lip swatches, one day soon I will stop being lazy and do my whole face so I can show more than just my lips lol :

The Faerie Glen

 Fresh Brew

Touch

* All swatches were done with MAC's Cork Lipliner

I think all three are great nudes for dark skin tones, Touch being my favorite and the easiest to wear. On me (NC50) Touch can be worn straight out the tube with no lipliner or gloss. For the other two i have to be more careful to avoid looking dead lol. Also Touch appears more brown on my lips than it does in the pictures, the flash emphasizes the peach. Fresh Brew is hit or miss, somedays it looks great and others not so much. I am very pleased with The Faerie Glen and can;t wait to try it with a full look!

Pink Lips!

       Lipstick is my latest addiction and i have been searching for more pinks that work for my skin tone. I already had Mac's Lovelorn and Creme in your coffee, but wanted something a little brighter. I was interested in Pink Friday, but swatches quicky changed my mind lol the color was way too light to ever work on me. I ended up choosing Girl About Town and Pink Nouveau. They arrived today!

Left to Right: Creme in Your Coffee, Lovelorn, Pink Nouveau, Girl About Town

* please excuse my lip swatches, they are a little sloppy

Creme in Your Coffee is described as a creamy mid-tone pink brown and is a Cremesheen formula. Of the 4 it is the most natural pink .

Lovelorn is described as a emotive blue pink  and is a Lustre formula. The lustre formula is very moisturizing and although the color is bright it applies pretty sheer.

Pink Nouveau is described as a bright pink  and is a Satin formula. The color is similar to Lovelorn, it is just darker and applies more opaque.

Girl About town is described  as a fabulous fuchsia  and is a Amplified Creme formula. This color is very bright and not for those scared of color!



I love all four, I can't choose a favorite!
