Look - Stila Gold Glow Trio and Subdued Red Lips

Look - Stila Gold Glow Trio and Subdued Red Lips

This look is from yesterday, and I wore to go see my parents. The boy, Mellan, and I headed up for lunch and dinner, for a bunch of grilled food. (Mmm, Korean BBQ ribs!!) Oh, and lots and lots of swimming ;) I really liked how Cult of Cherry added pop to Lightly Ripe, but not TOO much. I think...

Look - Cherrylicious Lips and Cat Eyes

Look - Cherrylicious Lips and Cat Eyes

This was yesterday's look - wanted to try out So Scarlet lipstick and Cult of Cherry together, and I thought maybe I'd try out some darker lips later on, so I kept the eyes pretty simple. I tried to do a cat-eye, but it didn't quite work out. I haven't done one in a long time (albeit, I've probably...

Looks - Cult of Cherry Neutrals for Bold Lips

Looks - Cult of Cherry Neutrals for Bold Lips

On Wednesday, I thought I might play around with some bold lip colors, so I popped on a neutral look, and then I had some fun. I tried Bing! mattene from Cult of Cherry, as well as So Scarlet (but I already had an idea of how that'd turn out in a look). I also tried on Clinique's Red-y to Wear. Now,...

Lip Lust - NARS Moon Fleet/Indian Red Lip Gloss/Lip Stain

Lip Lust - NARS Moon Fleet/Indian Red Lip Gloss/Lip Stain

I don't have much NARS in my makeup stash, but what few products I have, I really enjoy. NARS' Moon Fleet / Indian Red Lip Gloss/Lip Stain is such a pretty, ultra-glossy semi-sheer red. The red itself is lovely in its tone - not too orange, not too blue - almost a neutral red, which is hard to come...

Lip Lust - Red Flame/Orange Flicker Pro Longwear

Red Flame/Orange Flicker Pro Longwear Lustre Lip Colour is beyond gorgeous. BEYOND! This is such a rich, vibrant red. I honestly didn't think it would be a color I could pull off, but it's no more bold than other popular reds like Russian Red. Finally, a red PLW that I can wear!

You can see just the...

Looks - Neutral Eyes For Super Rich Lips

I did this neutral look yesterday, mostly because I really wanted to use my Wild 'Bout You lipstick, which is quite bold.

I used Blonde's Gold pigment (LE) on lid, Femme-fi eyeshadow (LE) on inner lid, Romp eyeshadow on middle of lid, Cumulus eyeshadow (LE) on outer lid and crease, Satin Taupe...

Looks - Alta Moda vs. Temptalia: "I'm a Vampire" Edition

So I know we had a post a few weeks ago about what kind of look would you want to wear but haven't, and a lot of you mentioned red lips.  You're not alone with having a bit of trepidation when it comes to consideration a red lip--I have plenty!  Especially when it comes to deeper, vampy reds.  I...

Looks - Brown & Golds and Bright Red Lips

Looks - Brown & Golds and Bright Red Lips

This is actually an old look I did last December (!), but I thought I'd share since my eyes are still swollen from doing upper lash liner for a few days in a row (which means I've been laying off the eye makeup!).

I used Melon pigment on lid, Ochre Style eyeshadow (LE) on inner lid, Daisychain...
