Soft lust & elaborate.

I don’t have an unusual combo because I almost always have nude or light pink lips.

I have recently discovered the joys of MAC Sashimi Mimi l/s and Stila Fruit Punch lip glaze. I had no idea glaze lipsticks shows up well on my lips.

Other than that, I absolutely cannot live without my Twig-Twig l/s, it’s the perfect neutral lips for me.

I love Rozz Revivial l/s with Cult Fave l/g for a beautiful pink lip. Rozz Revivial l/s with Averice l/g is a great very wearable red.
Pleasure Seeker l/s with Pink Grapefruit l/g is awesome for summer
Sophisto l/s with Date Night Dazzle glass is a great funky plum.
Ramblin’ Rose l/s with Pink Grapefruit l/g is a great coral.
My “don’t know what color to wear” is always Viva Glam IV l/s and l/g.
I also have found that Nymphette l/g sort of tones down a really strong color, like Lady Bug or New York Apple.
Oh! I almost forgot…..Profusion l/s with Viva Glam IV l/s is a great pink.

Oh, I loooove the Dazzleglasses. The applicator just kicks it to the top of my list. I hear Kendra…what will we do when they run out?
My most unusual favorite is Russian Red lipstick with Lady Danger in the lip center ontop of it.

Everyday Lip: Kinda Sexy (dc’d) + Stila lipglaze “Brown Sugar”

Nude Lip: Honeylove + Instant Gold Lustreglass OR Nice Buzz Plushglass

Red Lip with a twist: Milani Bonfire Lip Pencil + Ruby Woo + clear gloss (lightly, in center only) + vellum eyeshadow/frozen white pigment patted LIGHTLY over gloss…this gives a gorgeous bluish sheen to the lips and adds a little “pop” 🙂

Ohhh fun topic idea!

Hmmm…

For a neutral lip I like to pair Touch l/s with Big Baby plush glass.

For a dark lip I like to pair Rebel with the dark purple lipglee [can’t believe I forgot the name of it :/]

For a red lip I love to pair Russian Red l/s with Spring Bean l/g.

Annnnd for fun looks like I like to pair pinks [Girl About Town] and magentas [Immodest] with Comet Blue Dazzle Glass.

For pink, I like MAC’s Out to Shock lipstick topped by Smashbox pout lipgloss.

Red, of course, has to be red enriched cremestick liner, russian red lipstick and fanplastico lacquer.

I quite like pleasureseeker lipstick topped with In 3D gloss for a more neutral lip (at least, for me it is).

I really like Blast O’ Blue lipstick mixed up with different reds and pinks to give a more purple hue. 😀

Angel l/s with Ample Pink Plushglass (my holy grail right now)

-Nars Babe lipgloss (another holy grail right now)

By the way, does anyone know of permanent duplicates of any (or preferably all :P) of MAC’s dazzleglasses? Doesn’t necessarily need to be MAC! I absolutely love this product and am dreading the day when I am finally out!!! Christine?

I don’t really have one I can’t live without, BUT my favourite unusual one as of right now is DEFINITELY Melrose Mood (Heatherette) and Steppin’ Out Dazzle Glass.

I normally put Petting Pink TLC on a primer, too.

BUT OMG, thank GOD for Steppin’ Out… it’s finally allowed me to wear Melrose Mood without looking too stupid 😀

Being a pale lippe girl myself I have found my perfect combination with Carmex lipbalm (the one in the tub;other formulations don’t compare), Stila perfecting concealer in shade c (yes, it’s a concealer but it’s perfect for nuetralizing the bright red color of my natural lips), Mac Lipstick in Tanarama, and a swipe of Mac lipglass in Underage.
