Winter Favorites! 2014

Hey cuties! I'm trying to get back into the habit of blogging regularly. I've been pretty swamped lately but spring break is coming soon and we need spring sooo badly! I swear, this has been one of the worst winters of my life because we had 6 snow days! And this is Minnesota we're talking about, there is hardly any snow days if we can help it. One time, it got to about -40 degrees with the windchill! But, as Minnesotans, we went to the movies that day. That shows how crazy we are. Funny thing is, we saw Frozen. Best. Decision. Ever!

So there's actually a point to this post, and that's my winter favorites. It's just easier for me to do seasonal favorites rather than monthly favorites. If I did this monthly, they would be super short and really boring and no one wants that. 

1. Dusty Rose Cardigan from Target- I've been trying to wear pieces that are a little out of my comfort zone, and this long, cardigan is something that I wouldn't usually go for because it's long but I love it! I'm so glad I got it because I literally every week. I would pair it with a white tank top (or my next favorite) and a long necklace and some black pants. 

2. Jhameel T-shirt- I mentioned this T-shirt in my Fall Favorites but I'm still in love with it! It's my Jhameel shirt and if you haven't listened to his music, I definitely suggest giving it a try because he is amazing. I can't wait for his new album to come out! I plan on getting his other t-shirt soon, as soon as I can spare the money. ;)

3. Boots from Shoe Department- In my last haul, I told you guys about the absolute bargain I got these shoes for! They were originally $125, but I got them for $19.97! These are definitely not winter shoes because they have no grips on the soles and I slip and slide on the ice, but they're so cute I don't even care. In the spring they will be absolutely amazing.

I've been into nudes this winter, is that weird? I feel like everyone was wearing deep, dark tones and I just wore nudes. I just wanted something that was no-fuss and was easy.

1. NYX Butter Glosses- review here. I feel like I've worn at least one of these every day since I got them. If  you want to know more, I have more information in my review.

2. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Pink Cognito- This is basically the exact color of my lips, but a tiny bit pinker. This formula is nice because it's sheer and it's very moisturizing and shiny. If you are looking for a very simple lip color, this is a good one.

3. Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Totally Toffee- One of the many nudes I've been wearing. This a little darker that the rest, but it's still really pretty, especially paired with one of my NYX Butter Glosses.

4. L'Oreal Colour Riche Lipstick in Fairest Nude- This paired with the Tiramisu butter gloss is a match made in heaven. I swear, they are made for each other. The colors match and the smell of the butter gloss masks the terrible smell of the lipstick. That's probably the only bad thing about this lipstick.

1. Clio Gel Eyeliner Pencil in Golden Black- I did a rave review on these pencils. They are so pigmented and smooth and they stay on your eyes all day. Plus, there's a built it sharpener. There's nothing else to say, it's just great and I've been using it every day.

2. Too Face Primed and Poreless Pressed Powder- Claire Marshall was talking about this powder in one of her videos, and anything that Claire likes, I have to get. And oh my goodness, it makes your skin look so smooth and matte. And it keeps me matte. For an oily girl like me, that's perfect. I was going to do a review on this, but before you know it I hit pan and it wasn't pretty anymore. Once I finish it and repurchase it, I'll do a full review.

3. Vera Wang Princess Perfume- I've been wanting to find a fragrance, and I really want the Prada Candy L'eau but I have to save up for it. So in the meantime I got the Vera Wang Princess rollerball and this smells amazing. It doesn't last really long but I don't really mind. Reapplying isn't a big deal. It's more affordable as far as perfumes go so if you don't want to break the bank but you still want to smell nice, Vera Wang is the way to go.

1. L'Oreal Total Repair 5 Line- My hair has been loving the this entire line of hair products. It makes my hair so lightweight, soft, and silky. The harsh weather has really taken a tole on my hair and this fixes it right up!

2. Hada Labo Replenishing Hydrator- This is a Japanese brand but it's sold in the US. I'm not sure if it's the exact same product but I sure hope it is. My skin has been so dry and ever since I started using this as a toner, it calmed down. I wouldn't use this alone because it's just not enough moisture for me, but as a toner it's amazing.

Mango Green Tea I love mangoes, and I love green tea. This makes me feel like I'm on a cozy, topical vacation and it's a relaxing morning by the beach. 

1. Urban Decay Naked 3- This is not pictured in the collective favorite picture because I forgot to include it. But I could not do a favorite post without it. Urban Decay has set my standards for eyeshadow very high. Nothing compares to the color payoff and the texture. If I could marry makeup, I would marry the Naked 3 palette. The rosy tones are gorgeous and they make my green eyes pop.
2. Essie Nail Polish in Muchi, Muchi- I went to target looking for a nude polish, but when I saw this polish, it was just too cute! Muchi, Muchi, that's the name. How could I resist? My friend noticed and I told her the name and she ran out and got it the next day. This has basically been the nail polish we've both been wearing for the past month or so.
3. 4. and 5. Maybelline One by One, L'Oreal Butterfly Effect, and L'Oreal Telescopic Shocking Extentions mascaras I have 3 mascaras. Let's be totally honest, I haven't been wearing a lot of makeup lately, especially eyeliner. Having great lashes makes up for most of my laziness. I will use my Telescopic mascara and then either layer my One by One or Butterfly Effect on top. Both the Butterfly and the One by One are very volumizing on their own, but Telescopic gives in that extra length that I want on top of the volume. I got them all in the black, waterproof formulas because the regular formulas smudge on me, and I will not deal with panda eyes! No!

Okay, that is a super long post. I hope it wasn't too boring for you. I'm just so ready for spring. I'm already planning on a the makeup I'm going to get to with all of the fun, bright colors. Especially lipsticks! I just started getting into lip colors last year and it's gotten so out of hand, but I just can't help my self.

Tell me what you've been loving this winter and what you're excited for spring? I love hearing from you guys!XD

Product Review: NYX Butter Glosses

Hey cuties! So I've been people raving about these lip glosses for a while. Especially one of my favorite youtubers of all time, Claire Marshall. If you guys don't watch her, I suggest you go look her up right now because her fashion sence is impecable. If she recommends something, I automatically want to buy it. So, that's how we got to this point. Let's get onto the review, shall we?

I love it when you can see the color of the product through the packaging. It just makes shopping a whole lot easier and I don't have to look up swatches online. Most of the time, I just want to browse around, grab a color I like, and go. I don't want to make a game out of it. I give the packaging two thumbs up. :)

I started out with one shade. . . and then another. . . and then another. It's just how it works. And the labels are a little beaten up because they've been rolling around in my purse. 

What I love about these lip glosses is that I can either wear them on their own for something easy, or I can tint a lipstick to match the exact color that I want. For example, I mostly wear nudes on a day to day basis. When I want a pinkier nude, I add Eclair. When I want something more peachy, I go with créme brulee. Or just the perfect nude (for my skin tone anyway), I stick to tiramisu.

This is by no means a long wearing product, and it doesn't claim to be. They are moisturizing, they don't feel uncomfortable on the lips, the color pay off is pretty good, and they smell like candy. What more can you ask for? Oh, and they're cheap, too! Only about $5 each.

Overall: I love these. I just have these three because I've been wearing mostly nude colors all winter, but in the spring time I'll get some more fun colors. We are approaching bright lip color season! But I defitenly recommend these

P.S. Sorry for not updating often. School and work is a little crazy right now, I've been sick and I had to work a couple extra shifts to fill in for people. :( But in a few weeks it'll be back to normal and I can get my life back! I just have to survive finals. . . See you next time! XD

My Friends Made Me Do It Haul

Hey cuties! You know when you go shopping with your friends and they convince you to get more things than you actually need? Well, that kind of happened to me this weekend. But just for the clothes, the makeup is my own fault. I have a problem. . .

So, there's an overview! I feel like I keep buying lippies and boots whenever I post a haul, but you'll find out why I had to get the boots later on.

My friends and I went to the mall and while we were wandering, we found the Shoe Department, and me being the cheap person I am, I walked straight to the clearance section. When I saw these boots I gasped because they were soo pretty! They are brown ankle booties with distressed detailing and it reminded me of an explorer or an archaeologist. Weird, I know, but these are the things that appeal to me. I was sold right away, and they were only $19.95! Then I saw the original price, $125! I love them, but I don't know if I love them enough to pay $125.

I have an obsession with red plaid. I guess I want to look like a lumberjack or something. But hey, I'm Minnesotan! That's just what we wear. ;) And at Rue 21, I found one that makes me look really small, which I love, and the floral shirt does the same. But when I got home, I was a little iffy on the floral shirt and I already tore off the tag. Stupid me! Should I keep it? Or will it go to my sister? I just wish I could get my money back if I do. Also, at Rue 21, they have a ton of stud earrings that were super cute and my mom's coworker gave me an earring tree so I've been trying to fill it up.

If you guys read my Fall Favorites post, then you know that I love Jhameel's music. It's been basically the only thing I've been listening to for two months. So I bought one of his t-shirts! He even included a thank you note in the package.

Onto the lippies! I'm not going to say too much about these because I might be reviewing some of them, so stay tuned! 

From left to right, Revlon Colorburst Balm Stain in Honey, MAC Cremesheen Lipstick in Shanghai Spice (my first MAC lipstick!), Maybelline Color Sensation Lipsticks in Totally Toffee and Warm Me Up

NYX Butter Glosses in Eclair and Creme Brulee, NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipstick in Thalia

This is kind of a mess, so I'll just list everything off. Maybelline Age Rewind Under Eye Concrealer in Fair, Clio Eyeliner Pencils in Beige Shine and Golden Black, review here. NYX Eye shadows, NYX Roll On Glitter, NYX Glam Eyes Liner, Urban Decay Eyeliners in Rockstar, Zero (not shown), and Demolition, Anastasia Brow Pencil in Medium Ash (review coming soon), MYX Wonder Pencil in Light.

So! That's it. There's probably more that I've bought over the past few weeks. When I get a lot of school work, I like to celebrate my hard work with shopping. Is anyone else like that?

Let me know if you tried any of these products or what you're wearing lately because I really need some new clothes. Maybe you guys can help me reinvent my wardrobe for the new year. ;D See you next time!

Catching Up: I Bought A Lot of Lipstick

Hey cuties! I've been gone from the blogging world for a while, and it's time to play catch up. In that time, I've collected 10 lip products! That's ridiculous! But to be fair, this is a few months worth a purchases and almost all of them (with the exception of one) are from the drugstore drugstore. Does that justify it? I might have a problem. But, these are all the products that I haven't reviewed or I was just too excited and started to use them without taking pictures first. Bad beauty blogger, I know. But, hey! Better late than never!

Let's start out with Revlon! My entire lipstick collection is probably 80% Revlon. That just says how much I love them. I reviewed the Revlon Lip Butters a super long time ago and they still are fantastic. Hence why I bought three more shades. :P Since it was November, I wanted some darker colors that would be fall-appropriate. (You'll see swatches and names below). For the next two, I had a $2 off coupon, so I bought the lip gloss. I love Revlon's lip glosses as well as their lipsticks. They aren't too think or sticky, and they have decent pigmentation. They came out with two new lines, The Matte Balm and the Laquer Balms. Sadly, I only got one of the Matte Balms.

I just can't resist NYX lately. I've never tried any of their products until they came to Target, and now I want to buy everything. So many people rave about their lip glosses and they are so right, because they are awesome. What I like is that they don't just have one formula of lip gloss, they have like three different lines you can choose from. (I'm not sure, don't quote me on that). I got the Butter Gloss, which is thicker and a tiny bit sticky, but the color is amazing. And the Xtreme Lip Cream which is very light and crazy pigmented and really long wearing. And as for the actual lipstick I already did a review for you guys.

Only two more! Bare with me. My birthday was is late November and my friend bought me the Etude House Dear My Blooming Lipstick that I've been wanting for the longest time. Everything about it is just adorable. But I did find that the formula accents dry patches on my lips but if you exfoliate and use a lip balm beforehand, then you'll be fine. My friend also had the L'Oreal Colour Riche Lipstick in Fairest Nude and she let me swatch it and it was so pretty! And she said that she loved it so I, naturally, had to get it. The color is amazing and I love the formula, but it smells horrible! I mean, it's bad. I'm hoping that it's going to fade a bit over time, but it's kind of steering me away from using it. Does anyone else have that problem?

That's all 10 lipsticks! Can you believe it? Let me know if you have any of these lipsticks or if you liked these little baby reviews. See you next time! XD

Product Review: NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipstick in Tea Rose

Hey cuties! So if you follow me on twitter then you'll know about my technical difficulties with my computer. I don't like to be away from my readers for a long time. :( But! I'm back with another lippy! I don't know about you guys, but my lipstick collection is growing rapidly. My family says I have a problem, but they don't know the joy a new lipstick brings. XD

NYX lip products generally cost around $5, this one was actually a little less than that at Target. $5 is a good price in my book, especially if it works well.

The shade I ended up getting was Tea Rose because it looked like a neutral pink color, but on my lips it's a full on pink. I'm not complaining, but it wasn't what I expected.

I like the packaging because it's simple and black, yet it stands among my lipstick collection. What really drew me in was the sneak peak of the product on the bottom. I hate it when I can't see the actual color of the bullet of the lipstick before I buy it because the sticker is not always the same color. And if you don't have internet to look up a swatch, you're kind of left in the dark.

The bullet is curved and I found that it was easier to apply because it fit into the natural curves of my lips. It was interesting, but I'm curious to how it's going look after I use it up for a while.

When I first applied this, I was really impressed by the texture. It's just so velvety and it feels amazing on your lips. And it's so pigmented. The color payoff is amazing for a drugstore product and it doesn't feel heavy or greasy. You barely feel anything at all. Plus, it's moisturizing. And in Minnesota winters, you want all the moisture you can get.

The lasting power is a little bit better than a standard lipstick. The color lasted after drinking and faded nicely. But it did not last during a workout, though. But nothing lasts during a workout.

Pros

-Pigmented

-Cheap

-Long wearing

-Velvety

-Nice packaging

Cons

-Not the color I expected

Overall- I'm planning on going back and getting more shades ASAP! As soon as I get paid. ;) The shade is not what I wanted, but maybe someone else will get more use out of it and I'll get more shades that I like a lot more. But based on the formula, I love it. Definitely recommend that you go and get some.

What do you guys think? Have you tired any NYX lipsticks? See you next time! XD

Fall Favorites!

Hey beauty junkies! It just snowed where I live and that means it's winter to me. I don't know about you guys, but I love the changing seasons. Maybe because we experience drastic changes and when it's winter it's like BAM! Winter is here overnight.

Since I'm not one who tends to do monthly favorites, and I love favorites posts, so I thought I could do seasonal favorites! What do you guys think? It'll just be a big pile of stuff that I show you and it will be extra long with lots of pictures. I don't know, we'll see how it plays out.

Here's an overview of all the stuff I've collected. There's a mixture of a whole bunch of things and I'll go into depth about each of them.

I've been loving these Real Technique Brushes that I got in a beginner set. These are all of their eye brushes, and I don't know if all of the brushes that are in the set are pictured here because I don't keep them in the holder that they came in. But these brushes are really inexpensive and they don't shed and they are just worth all the hype that they get. I'm definitely going to pick up some of their face brushes. (maybe after the Beauty Blender? If you have a review, link it below! I'm looking into getting one)

I did reviews on both of these products if you want to know more about them, click the link. But Oh, my goodness, Holika Holika Aqua Petit BB Cream is so freaking amazing, I already purchased a backup and it's on it's way. I don't think I can live without this stuff because it just feels so light and it makes my skin look sooo good. If you haven't tried it yet, I suggest going and getting it right now. And for the Innisfree No-Sebum Mineral Pact, this is the only powder that actually helps with my oil and it just makes my face look brighter and more awake. And with those late night study sessions, I need it. I hit pan on this and the label is rubbing off. That's how you know that a product is well-loved. ;)

You guys know that my first lipsticks were the Revlon Lip Butters and I did do a review on them. But I did pick up some extra shades that were more fall appropriate and they are just freaking gorgeous. 

Red Velvet is just a deep red that looks really scary in the tube and by the packaging, but the Revlon Lip Butters make it really easy to pull off. And since this fall was all about deep colors, I though it was perfect. Now, Candy Apple is a really bring orange-red that will suit people with a yellow or neutral undertone beautifully. If you're scared to rock a red, this one is also really easy to pull off.

These products are basically the only things I put on my cheeks for this fall, mainly because I didn't have anything else. I don't have many blushes but I did pick up the Wet N' Wild Blush in Pearlescent Pink. For $2, thing stuff is amazing. The pigmentation is great, the color payoff is nice, and the color suits me very well. I don't know what else to say about it other than I think it's great. I did a review on the Benefit Hoola Bronzer so I'm not going to go into too much detail, but this is really pigmented, it lasts a long time, and will fit a lot of skin tones.

I have a lot of eye makeup to talk about. I got the Urban Decay Naked Basics Pallet which has the perfect shadows for everyday wear. The reason why I didn't do a review is because the darkest color shattered and it's not pretty at all, and you guys probably have already seen a ton of reviews on this already. Maybelline has been knocking it out of the park with their eyeshadows lately. I did do a review on the Maybelline Color Tattoo In Barely Branded and love it. But the Color Tattoo Pigment in Breaking Bronze is a fairly new purchase and it is soo pretty! If fall was an eyeshadow, this would be it. The L'Oreal Lacquer Liner in Bronze Bronze has been the only eyeliner I use for months. Whether it's to tight-line, wing out, or just my normal liner, I'm using this. It's not actually bronze, it's a brown, I don't know why it's called bronze. But this is perfect for everyday use. Finally, I picked up the ELF Eyelid Primer and for $1, it's amazing. I really do notice a difference in the longevity and pigmentation in my eyeshadows when I use this.

I never talk about fashion on this blog, but I've been slowly getting into it. The Red Plaid Button Up is from Forever21. I usually wear it open with a tanktop underneath or tie the bottom in a knot. The Cozy Cream Sweater is from Target. This sweater is so comfortable. I would wear it every day if I could. It's a little bit over sized so I can wear it with leggings and not feel weird because it covers my bum! And the Brown Detailed Combat Boots are also from Target. I actually bought them with my very first paycheck and I don't regret it. The flaps do have a serape fabric in the inside, but they do zip up to look like a normal brown combat boot. I like that I can wear them two ways and paired with these two tops, I look put together without any work.

And now for the random picks! Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin is my favorite book this fall. It's really intense, magical, sexy, and gory all in one. There's too much sex for my taste, but it's still a fantastic book and the characters are amazing. The plot, don't even get me started on the plot, just go read it or even watch the TV show. (I haven't seen it yet). My friend's mom works at Bath and Body Works and I get discounts on everything I get there and Sweater Weather smells absolutely divine. It's got a very cozy, fresh scent that just makes you want to put on sweatpants and lounge on the couch with some tea.

There is one thing that I have to add before I let you go, and that is my favorite music pick for fall! I have discovered Jhameel a few weeks ago and have been obsessed. He has his own youtube channel and makes his own music. He's super nice and he even retweeted my tweet! My all time favorite song is Come and Lie. It is so freaking sweet and calming and sad at the same time. I listen to it in my art class and it's just beautiful. Go and listen to it. I'll have the link here. Another song that I absolutely love and I think that a lot of other people will, too is White Lie. I showed this song to my friend and she fell in love with him and his music right away.

That's it! All of the products and random things I've been loving fall of 2013! What do you guys think? If any of you have tried these products or did a review on them, let me know! I love hearing your opinions. I'll see you next time! XD

Product Review: Maybelline Baby Lips

 Hello lip junkies! So I'm back in school and I needed a no-fuss lipbalm to stuff into my purse. Who wants to be worried about makeup touch-ups when you're studying? The Maybelline Baby Lips seemed like a good choice to make since there is a ton of hype fluttering about them.

The packaging is pretty cute with the bubbly script and the clear cap. I like how they picked complementary colors. But it does seem a little cheap because the plastic isn't the best quality. I'm not complaining because for something that costs less than $3, I was expecting that. 

I only have a couple of the tinted ones, Peach Kiss and Cherry Me. There is a bright pink one, but I didn't think that suited my skin tone. There are some that have no pigmentation and come in different flavors if you don't want anything tinted.

The formula is super moisturizing and soaks into your lips really nicely. It does leave my lips hydrated for a while, but not the 8 hours that they claim. I say it's about 4-5 hours, which means I only have to reapply this once during the school day.

I like and then hate the Cherry Me shade because it has a nice, sheer color that you can build up. It's not a bright red that's great for everyday wear, even so that I let my little sister use it (she has no experience with makeup). But the smell! It has a strong cherry Kool-aid scent. I don't know about you, but I never liked the smell of those powdered drinks. It's just so artificial and candy-like it's a little overpowering. It didn't seem to faze my sister, but it's too strong for me.

As for the Peach Kiss, the swatch is not how it looks on the lips. I have naturally dark lips for some reason, and this shows up a slightly nude shade. It was a little let down because I thought it was going to be this pretty peachy-pink, but I actually like how it turned out. I've never tried a nude lip color before. It's just like my lips, just a little bit lighter. Pairing this with a more dramatic cat-eye draws more attention to my eyes. As for the scent, it's definitely not as strong as the Cherry Me. Of course, it has to smell like peaches, but it's very muted. 

Pros

-Build able

-Nice color

-Very hydrating

-Cute Packaging

Cons

-Strong smell (Cherry Me)

-Not very pigmented

Wow, I think I talked a lot about a couple of lip balms. To be honest, I'll be using Peach Kiss a lot more than Cherry Me as long as my slight tan stays. For the first time in years I have a little color and I'm going to use it for my advantage. Cherry Me is still okay, I'll probably use it more when fall is in full spring. 

Have you guys tried these lip balms? What did you think? Let me know!

Product Review: Rovlon Lip Butter in Peach Parfait, Berry Smoothie, and Juicy Papaya

Hey lip junkies! My collection of lip products is continuously growing because of all the bloggers I read. It makes me want to buy a ton of different brands, colors, and finishes. My wallet has been depleting very quickly since I started blogging. You guys make me want to buy everything!

Revlon seems to have a knack for lip products because once I got one lip butter, I wanted more. Over the past month (in between trips to the gas station and online shopping) I had collected three shades, Peach Parfait, Berry Smoothie, and Juicy Papaya.

First of all the packaging is very convenient because the cap is a similar shade to the bullet and the top is clear so you can see the actual product in the tube. So you know what shade you are getting and it's not just the name and sticker that's telling you what color it is.

I'm not sure where this product stands on the lipstick scale because it has the texture and moisturizing factor of a lip balm, but looks like a glossy lipstick. Since I'm not a huge lip junkie, I need the formula to be light or else I won't wear it.

Since the formula is so light, I found that the color payoff is only about 4 hours. I kinda let that slide because I think of it as a lipbalm instead of a lipstick, and my lipbalm does not last 4 hours.

Out of these shades, Peach Parfait will probably be my favorite. It's the perfect everyday color that has a bit of shimmer in it. Berry Smoothie will be used in the fall time when it's more appropriate to wear a slightly darker color. What I like is that it's not an in-your-face kind of color. And, Juicy Papaya is what I'm probably going to wear a lot in August because it's the last bit of summer and I can pull off a fun, bright lip.

Sorry I couldn't include pictures of what the colors look like on my lips, my camera was being stupid and wouldn't pick up the color. But the constancy is really build able so you can wear a little for a hit of color, or apply more for better vibrancy.

Pros

-Moisturizing

-Sheer color

-Light

-Nice packaging

-Cheap
-Build able

Cons

-Doesn't last very long

Overall- Love, love, LOVE these things. I think every girl (or guy) should have one in their collection. It's great for everyday wear and I will be using the heck out of them

Let me know if you've tried any of these lip butters and what you thought of them!

Product Review: Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Rendezvous

Hey cuties! I've never been one to wear anything other than lipbalm on my lips, but something came over me and I bought this Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in probably the brightest color they have, Rendezvous. It's this orange-ish, coral color that screamed summer. There is a lot of hype around this product and heard a lot of beauty gurus on youtube talk about it.

The packaging in this product is kind of interesting because it's not like other lipsticks. It comes with this plastic tube and the tip of the bullet is sort of cone-shaped which makes it easy to apply onto your lips. It's longer than a lipstick so it's not as convenient to shove in your push, but not by much.

I love the formula of this lipstain because it's slightly moisturizing, light, and it doesn't settle into the lines in your lips. You can either apply a small amount for a hint of color or build it up to get full vibrancy. You don't necessarily need a lip balm along with this, but I find that adding one makes it creamier. But it does have a minty scent, so if you're allergic to perfumes in makeup, then it's something to be aware of. I actually like the smell, so it's not a problem for me.

This picture doesn't really give this product justice because it's a lot more vibrant in real life. Though I like to have a light hand on anything that's very pigmented, the color is a lot more orange like you just got done eating a popsicle.

The lasting power for this product is amazing for something at the drugstore. I found that it lasts about 8+ hours and the swatch on my hand stayed there until later on the next day. The color fades very tastefully and sometimes looks even better than when you first applied it. I love how it lasts even when I eat, drink, and go throughout my day. 

This line is very hyped about, but I find that this is the only shade that might go with my skin tone. I feel like it's more aimed toward the warmer tones, and that's not me. ;) But if they ever come out with more, I'll look into buying some.

Pros

-Long lasting

-Build able color

-Smells like mint

-Slightly moisturizing

-Doesn't settle into cracks

-Fads nicely

Cons

-Wish they had more colors

So what do you guys think? Are you a lippy person? I went to the store and got another lip product yesterday and I'm contemplating on whether or not I should get another one today. Maybe I'm turning into a lipstick addict? I don't know, I see a lot of people with a wide range of colors and I felt a little behind. (I didn't have any at the moment, only lipbalm). Well, it's a working progress. But you can count on another lipstick review soon, that's for sure. See you guys next time! XD
