29 Days of Lipstick .:. Day 4

I look so tired...But I was having a morning so, ugh. Anyway! This is another Tarte color called Plummy Rose. 

So this reminds me a lot of the other Tarte shade I posted, Graceful I think but I could be wrong, but a bit cooler toned so it fits my skin more without the assistance of lip liner. The pictures above are in natural light, here's one in a less well let setting.

Still pretty! Even with my bored looking face (I'm on break writing this). Like my other Tarte lipstick it goes on VERY smoothly. There is no pull, no tug, nada. And it just feels nice and smooth on, can't beat that. Plus it smells like peppermint! I love peppermint. :D I just don't know why it smells like peppermint seeing how the only other Tarte lipstick I have doesn't. Maybe because this one came in a set? Dunno. But the pigmentation is fairly good and it lasts for quite awhile. I've had it on for 6 hours already and just reapplied after I ate. I definitely recommend it!

Pros:

Pretty tube (Im a sucker for that)

Great smell!

Smooth application

Silky feeling 

Nice color pigmentation 

Cons:

Not sure if its a regular offered color (As mine came in a gift set of stuff)

 

 

 

29 Days of Lipstick - Day 3

Natural lighting, yay!

So, in my quest to  find lipstick colors what would work on me a lot of people recommended trying out corals. Well, this was bought in that attempt. So for day we have Revlon's Coral Berry. 

I was originally unsure about this lipstick the first time I tried it on. I hadn't primed my lips or anything but it was showing up super sheeny (if that's a word). Now I like my lipsticks to have a little bit of a shine, but it was super duper shiny! But I pulled it from TV bag today, skipped the primer and exfoliated my lips, and went ahead a put it on. Boy did it make a difference! It still has a bit of a shiny finish, but not overly so. The color also came out better (before it was almost orange looking), looking like a nice standard coral. It doesn't pull or tug on my lips, and its not drying at all. It goes on smoothly and its not super bold pigmented, and as much as I like bold and colorful, having something soft once in awhile is good to. 

Pros:

Cheap ($7 at Ulta)

Doesn't pull

Nice color payoff

Cons

Have to be careful about application or it can turn out all wrong!

29 Days of Lipstick .:. Day 1

29 Days of Lipstick

29 Days of Lipstick

So I decided I want to do something 'fun', all depending on how you describe fun I suppose, and do 29 Days of Lipstick, aka, me posting color swatches/wearing the 29 different shades of lipstick that I own every day. It should be 30 but I can't find one tube....Oh well. But I figured out it would be a great reference for me or someone else who likes these colors or looking for colors to wear. So it sounds like a lot of work so far but I'm hoping it's fun! Or at the very least, informative. I waasss going to post the color list of evreything I'm going to do, but that's no fun! So it'll be a surprise instead. I shall start the posting tomorrow! 

MAC Everyday Diva Review

So I went into MAC a few days ago looking to do an exchange for some colors that I got and didn’t work so well with my skin (Snob, Pink Noveau, and something else….). I picked up this shade (Everyday Diva), Girl About Town, and I wanna say The Amp (can’t exactly recall at the moment) and I’m glad I did.

It is most definitely an out there ‘pop in your face’ warm tone red. Lighter then their shade Cockney (which I’m in love with and mad ‘cause I can’t remember where I put the tube!) and considerably lighter then their other cool tone counterpart red mineralize lipstick Lush Life.  Although it is lighter then I normally wear in the red department it didn’t look a hot mess on my skin tone (in my opinion).

The pigmentation of this shade is awesome, it did act as a little bit of a lip stain though, which I’m ok with. It applied on super easy as well and my lips felt great with it on. While I do like MAC’s matte lipsticks I don’t like how try they feel without a lip primer. It could be because I’m just transitioning over from lipgloss or something, but the regular colors feel dry and a little off to me. The mineralize shades on the other hand left my lips feeling great the entire time it was on. Now I did have to reapply after lunch time (I put it on at about 8 and had lunch at 1) and even if I hadn’t reapplied it still didn’t look all that bad. 

Over all I really love this lipstick and will buy it again once my tube runs out, but that can take awhile.
