Lip Lust: High 90s Slimshine

Lip Lust: High 90s Slimshine

I love High 90s Slimshine, which came out with Cool Heat. It is such a great bright coral, and I love pairing it with greens and blues. Even golds and browns can be good shades to coordinate it with! In this particular lip look, I topped the slimshine with Politely Pink lipglass, which came out...

The Vampire Lip Experiment - YSL Pur Black Gloss Pt. II

YSL Pur Black Gloss sure is fun!

Above is the result of a little experiment I did last night trying to do "vampire lips" or the "just bitten" lips. Let me tell you, it isn't as easy as you'd think! It's not just red lipstick and then slapping on black gloss. Ultimately, what worked best was matte red...

Looks - The Simple Life

Lately, I have been sporting the foundation + lips look. The above photo was taken a few days ago, but I've been doing a lot of the same: foundation, light blush, lipstick, and gloss. This particular combination was YSL's Fetish Pink Rouge Volupte Lipstick ($34.00) topped with MAC Crystal Rose...

Lip Lust: MAC Rockocco Lipstick & Hothouse Lipglass

Lip Lust: MAC Rockocco Lipstick & Hothouse Lipglass

I love Rockocco; it's just such a vibrant shade of orange-based red. I don't wear it often, as readers prefer bold eyes so I often lean towards those in my looks, but I wanted to wear it the other day, so I pulled it out. I actually look quite terrible in Rockocco alone--the orange-based red does not...

Look - Subtle with Shaping and Sculpting Line

I wanted to try to do something subtle, but with some shape, so I figured why not take my sculpting and shaping powders for a spin? I mean, I bought them all, and I pretty much never use them, LOL. And booo, I wanted to get my eye brows done, but the lady I go to is on vacation 'til Sunday :(

You...

Look - I'm "Wild 'Bout You" for Fall

Look - I'm "Wild 'Bout You" for Fall

Yesterday, I wanted to see how my new cut would look natural aka no styling required. I was pretty pleased with the results -- it's very much the same, but it doesn't have the same level of volume, shine, or texture. But it still works, and it doesn't HAVE to be styled, which is what is important. I...

Look - Blood Lust Red Lips for the Day

Look - Blood Lust Red Lips for the Day

Yesterday, I did Bing + Jampacked... well, I also threw Cult of Cherry lipglass on top of that to see how it would look.  That's what I'm showing you today :)  (Which is why I'm wearing the same shirt -- these photos are from yesterday!) I put a little more blush on (just heavier), too.

You will...
