Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Underage Red

Okay so this is my first ever liquid lipstick. I was trying to hold off on buying one until Jeffree Star's line took off, but it took like a year and my patience wore extra thin so, I bought this as an interim. It's not bad, in fact I even like the other colors this line comes in, but since I don't frequent sephora anymore, that means I'm gonna have to kiss this line goodbye. But first, a review:

LIME CRIME ALTERNATIVES

So I’ve been seeing a lot of people post about how they want to try Lime Crime but like not really considering their CEO’s rapsheet and general messiness and it seems like it’d be great if there were some other brands with comparable products of equal or greater value. There are!

SHANY COSMETICS

They have a line of liquid lipsticks that come in quite a few web trending shades and they’re selling for $7.00
Recommended Shades:
Corset, Time Warp, Pop Culture, Bold Spirit
ColourPop Cosmetics

 At $5.00 per tube these colors meet and exceed expectations. These aren’t liquid formulas, but with the depth of color and durability this brand boasts it’s kind of a non-factor 
Recommended Shades: Pitch, Leather, Creature, Feminist
Anastasia Beverly Hills , $20.00

Recommended shades: Sad Girl, Heathers
Coloured Raine Cosmetics , $16.00
Recommended shades:  Electric Raine, Soul, Mars
Makeup Academy , $4.42

Recommended Shades: A Flush, Atomic

Jeffree Star Cosmetics , $18.00
Recommended Shades: I’m Royalty, Unicorn Blood
Dose of Colour Cosmetics, $18.00

I would personally buy them all, I don’t have any color recs here.

Impulse Cosmetics, $6.99

Recommended Shades: Dhalia, Medusa, Melancholy, Agent X
Sleek Makeup, $7.49

Recommended Shades: Fandango Purple, Birthday Suit
3 Concept Eyes, $17~21.00

Recommended Shades: 701  , 702  , Dubious, 807 (All matte with some as crayons)
Makeup Forever HD, $24.00

Recommended Shades: 08 Red, 11 Dark Raspberry
! If you can try it in-store, please do it, colors in some computer monitors may not reflect actual color of products.
bITE Beauty (@ sephora only so far)
Recommended Shades: Port, Crush
Clio Cosmetics,  $17.59

Recommended Shades: Tension Red, Rumor Coral, Toxic Pink
and also there’s a huge pictorial for Sample Hime if you’re looking to buy from overseas

Revlon Super Lusterous Lipstick in Va va Violet!

    

      Pat on the back to me, I've finally done it.. I've finally tried purple and I liked it! It's a very flattering color considering that the undertones both in my own skin and in this lip color are complimentary. If you've been plugged into our instagram, then you know that this review has been a week underway. Pleasantries aside, we should get right to it! I'm really excited to cover this lip color because it performed well beyond my expectations.

CoverGirl Lip Perfection Lipstick 245 Smoky Fume!

      This another little milestone on my journey into a brave new world of lip color. It's a striking brown hue that, in my mind, hails complimentariliy to royal hues. It's none other than Covergirl's Lip Perfection Lipstick, I picked up as a gift actually. The person who gave this item to me was dismayed at what they perceived to be their inability to flaunt earthy lip tones (they muddle her complexion, her words not my own), and in so believing, gifted the item to me. A very lucky acquisition on my part! I've secretly been very curious about the whole line, but not without noted reservation. New lip color always makes me nervous, especially anything that isn't red or pink; still here we are with this lip color:

20130519 Face of the Day!

Hey lovies! It's the end of the week therefore we are due for another look of the week! This look was created using some new items that I'm both please with and excited to share with you guys; continue on after the jump!

Avon Super Lustrous Lip Lacquers!

      Here's this weeks beauty review! Now, I'm going to abridge this review because I'm literally en route to Reno ( but I'm not driving though; gotta conserve that precious battery life). That being said, I'd like it if we could all take a walk down memory lane: did you have a relative or neighbor who sold Avon? and if you did, do you remember what your favorite products were? Maybe you, much like myself, were still fairly young and only just beginning to show interest in makeup. Whatever the case, one thing is certain: We all have at least one item that sticks out in our mind from the beginning of our relationships with cosmetics (that's what throwback Thursday is for, right?). For me, it was the ultra color rich lip lacquers. Each hue in the set represented the different statement, they were perfect, in so many words. That's my way of saying that I hope to do these lipsticks the justice they deserve!

Senna Stardust Face and Body Bling!

      I was lucky enough to receive these while working with Sindulge for this post, so I want to get a review out while it's still fresh in my mind! I have been fiddling with these items for a hot minute because a) I'm new to using highlighter and b) I seldom touch lip gloss to my lips. I don't think I did too bad a job on the highlighter, and I do mean what of it I actually applied and not my naturally glowing T-zone (a joke). This is my second time trying products by Senna, and I'm completely hooked! The powder is smooth and the gloss is complimentary with out being too overwhelming. Read all about it after the jump!

20130512 Sunday Face of the Day!

     Well now I do believe that is has been quite awhile since I last posted for face of the day, and with a kinda lame reason, but it's my own and I, uh, own it: I hit a briar patch in my good skin game and didn't want to bog down my skin with product. My skin is finally coming out of it, so I was feeling brave enough to do a post!
