Lippie Love


Hey there!

Yes, I've been a bit of a naughty girl. I don't need new lipsticks but I like lipstick. I didn't pay full price though. I used hella coupons so I didn't pay anywhere near what I should have. They aren't new colors or a new formula or anything, I just saw them, wanted them, had a coupon for them, so I bought them.

And, I want to tell you all about them!



I really enjoy wearing Revlon Super Lustrous Lipsticks. When it comes to Revlon Super Lustrous Lipsticks, I prefer the creme ones. They are smooth and silky and I rarely need lip balm underneath. I don't mind having to use lip balm underneath a lippie but I'd rather not have to do it. With most of the Revlon Super Lustrous creme lipsticks I don't have to.



So I picked up Wine With Everything, Sassy Mauve, Mauvy Night and Rum Raisin. Yes, they do look very similar in the tube but in the swatches you see that they are not quite the same. Wine With Everything is more orangy brown, Sassy Mauve is just a deep pink, Mauvy Night is a brown pink and Rum Raisin is a brown.

My fave is the Mauvy Night. I've been slathering this on for the past 4 days. I like it. My least fave is Wine With Everything because the oranginess is a bit much on my skin. I do a thin layer and then add some lip gloss on top. I try to make everything work cause that's just how I am.


I already own several of the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipsticks so these new ones will feel right at home.

September Faves


Hey there!

I must say that September was a pretty chill month. I didn't deviate from products most of the month. I was sick a few days and then super duper busy other days so it was just easier to keep to the status quo. So, the favorites are things that helped me stay on task.



The number one task is keeping moisturized. It's important and when you become my age, it's super important. My favorite moisturizers are my Laneige Water Bank Serum for my face and Nivea Moisturizing Creme for everywhere else. Laneige is a new favorite and Nivea is an oldie but goodie. They have both stayed on my body all month.


The key to a well moisturized body is also good bath products. You want to use bubble bath and shower gels that don't dry you out. My new first love are The Body Shop products. Anytime I see them in Marshalls, T.J. Maxx, Homegoods wherever, I have permission (from myself) to pick them up. They smell so good and lather so well. I currently have a Vineyard Peach (repeat purchase!) and Honeymania (new purchase). They don't look used do they? That because you only need a little bit!



The other non makeup item that I've been loving are these new earrings that I picked up from the Atlanta Apparel Mart last month. I always run into Golden Stella and grab several pairs of earrings. They are cheap as chips and so comfortable. I think these were about five bucks and I have worn the heck out of them. I love them.



Makeup wise I've been highlighting the "BAM!" outta my cheeks. I've been using my e.l.f. Baked Highlighter in Pink Diamonds. I use this so much and it still looks brand new! That's because you don't need much. Some people say that there is too much fall out and that it's too chunky. That has not been my experience. It's smooth and stays where you put it. I find that I get many complements when I'm wearing this.

My lip color practically all month has been my Revlon Superlustrous lipstick in Blushing Nude. It's a gorgeous warm, pinky nude. It's creamy and I don't need to use a lip balm beforehand. I keep this sucker in my purse and I'm always ready to go!

And my last favorite is currently gracing my toes. I am wearing the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polish in Berry Magical. A-MA-ZING. I wanted to wear a dark color to get my head ready for Fall (it takes a lot of prep work for me to prepare). I knew it was going to be pretty but nothing prepared me for this! I'm ready to paint my nails with this again!

These have been my faves for September. I really have been using the heck out of these products and it's going to take a lot of me to switch it up...but I will.


What have you been loving this month? Are you going to keep it in rotation or add something new?

WHAT I WORE - This Week In Face


Hey There!

My face products don't vary much. I always use a powder, bronzer, blush and a lippie. It keeps it simple. I said this week, but this has actually been my face for the last two weeks!



I love my MAC Studio Fix in NC42
That's not a surprise. I've been using 2 bronzers this month. I've been using my NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder in Sunny (cult fave) and my e.l.f. Glow in Bronzed. Sunny has been my everyday bronzer and Bronzed has been my "let's go out" bronzer. I'm sad to say that haven't used my "let's go out" bronzer nearly as much as I'd like.



My cheeks have been simple. I've been using my NYC Color Wheel Mosaic Face Powder in Pink Cheek Glow. It's a soft pink color for me. Just a hint of color really. And when I need more color, I've used my Sonia Kashuk blush in Spice. This one is more of a deeper pink. You just need the smallest amount!



I mentioned going out and when you go out, you need a highlighter! I also gave my coworkers a treat during the week and wore my e.l.f. Baked Highlighter in Pink Diamonds. Careful! This is a BAM! highlighter and looks great. Just a touch!



My lips will amaze you. I have used 1 lipstick for two weeks. ONE!!! My Revlon Superlustrous Lipstick in Blushing Nude has been my bae (did I just type that?!). I have been loving this beautiful warm brown with a hint of pink. It's such a versatile color and I could just wear it every day (and I did!).



I mixed it up with some lip glosses. The mix and match ability of these were fantastic! I wore my new Milani Lip Gloss (with no name, so brown) and my NYX Butter Glosses in Angel Food Cake and Strawberry Parfait. My Butter Glosses are always in my purse. I love them. They smell good and the jazz up any lip color or work well alone.


So that's been my face for 2 weeks. There have been minor exceptions (link here) but this has been my face uniform. I prepare my makeup for the week on Sunday, so I should have new face colors at the end of this week (or next few weeks). Stay tuned!

Lippie Love - Dynamic Duos


Hey there!

You know, my #DynamicDuos for this past month are kinda random. I'd love to tell you that I went all sheer and lovely but because I've been essentially shopping my stash, as I found fantastic lippies, I wore them.



My soft peach lips were created with my Revlon Superlustrious Lipstick in Rose Dew and NYC Liquid Lipshine in Nude York City. The NYC Liquid Lipshine is one of the glosses that I found at the Dollar Tree. One of the best dollars that I have ever spent! This duo is so peachy and smooth. It's a bit shimmery and sheer but it's perfect for those "no makeup" makeup days.



For days that I'm feeling berry-ish, I have a berry duo that I have been reaching for. My Sephora Rouge lip color in Sexy Game topped with NYC Liquid Lipshine in Midtown Mulberry is perfect. It's a plummy, berry color that gives just that touch of color you need for spring days. I have to admit the sweet smell that the NYC Liquid Lipshines give off, adds to the love. You can sheer this duo out or add a few more swipes for a more opaque look. Either one works so well.



Wanna bring the color back down? Maybe a warm nude? Your lips but better? MAC Lustre in Plumful and NYX Butter Gloss in Angel Food Cake is what you're looking for. Yes, you've heard me talk about this #DynamicDuo before. This is a go to for me. It's tough not to pull this out all the time. I want to give other lippie combos some love but this one works so well, I hate to put it down.

I've been playing with other duos this past month but these duos have really made the cut. I've enjoyed them and they work like a charm every time.


Are you still sporting your #DynamicDuos for the spring and summer? What have you been loving?

Dupe? - Clinique Pops Lipcolour + Primer in Grape Pop & Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Berry Haute




Hey there!

You may or may not know this but I am all about the dupes. Hon-tee, if I can find something at a better price than full price, I'm loving it. And, if I can find an inexpensive copy cat of a more expensive item, all is right in my world!


Monday I wore one of my favorite parings of the moment, Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Berry Haute, topped with NYX Glam Lip Gloss in Velvet Ropes. I always take out the previous days lipstick/gloss duo and exchange it for the current one. I did that Monday and pulled out my new Clinique Pops Lipcolour + Primer in Grape Pop. When I saw it, it made me wonder, are these dupes?

This is my first dupe post so I have taken the examination very seriously. I wanted to verify that you really can buy a $7 lipstick in place of an $18 lipstick. They both feel great on the lips and they both wear well.


There are some differences. While the Revlon is creamier, the Clinique lasts longer. Clinique is the tiniest bit brighter berry while Revlon leans just slightly mauvier.

While researching, I also came across the tidbit that Revlon's Berry Haute is a dupe for MACs Up The Amp. Now, I can't verify this because I don't own Up The Amp (and now I want to) but I have seen several blogs that stand by this claim.

Now, I like them both. I'm glad that I have both. Knowing what I know now, would I rush out and get the Clinique Pops Lipcolour + Primer in Grape Pop? Yeah, I probably would. Now knowing that MACs Up The Amp is comparable to both, will I rush out and get that one?

I probably would if I could. Lucky for me, this is no longer on sale (I checked overstock too). So, I'll have to keep wearing what I have.

And oh yes, I wear both of these babies like they pay me to do it!

Sunday Funday – Beauty Scenario Tag

Borrowed from Instagram - I hope no one minds - I didn't mean any harm!!


Hey there!

I was reading one of favorite blogs and saw a Beauty Scenario Tag. It looked fun, so I invited myself to answer the questions. I hope you enjoy!!


Tag Questions

1. You have to get rid of all your foundations and only keep one high end and one drugstore, which do you keep?

            I’m not big on liquid foundation, so if they take all of the liquid foundations, I’m ok. My current powders are my MAC Fix+ and my Black Radiance Pressed Powder. I’d be a little sad if I had to let them go.

2. You go for an interview and the lady interviewing you has lipstick on her teeth. Do you approach the subject or ignore it completely?

               I don’t like for people to be embarrassed (and in my head everyone knows that they don’t have to be embarrassed in front of me!!) so I’d tell her. I’d hate for her boss or co-workers to see that cause, hey, I'm a stranger. She shouldn't care if I see it. They are her co-workers. She had to see them tomorrow.



3. You’re not feeling yourself and you need a pick me up lipstick, which one do you go for?

            I have two current faves. I'm sure you've seen the Revlon Superlustrous in Berry Haute. It's a beautiful plum color that I can wear alone or jazz it up with lip gloss. I love that color. I also reach for Wet n Wild's Mauve Outta Here. It's a warm pink color - a pink nude. I normally wear that with a pink glossy gloss if I'm daring or alone if I want a pouty look.

4. You go back in time for a day to your teenage years, how would you do your hair and makeup differently?

            I wouldn't change a thing as far as my hair goes. All the Aquanet and feathering that I did was perfect for the time. I would have found a really great hairdresser and stuck with her. I also would have invested in hair products. I'd be rich by now. As far as makeup, I'd learn early that quality is better than quantity and quality doesn't always cost an arm and a leg. My first lipstick would not be that Fashion Fair nude. Knowing what I know now, I'd go with the Lancôme nude that I wore 5 years later. The FF nude was dry and dull. That Lancome nude was moist and gorgeous. Sighhhhh.

5. You ask your hairdresser for a shoulder length pixie lott hair cut but they hear you wrong and give you a pixie hair cut. Do you a) smile, say thank you, leave, call your mum and cry hysterically b) cry in the chair and things get awkward or c) complain to the manager and demand a refund.

            Ten years ago I would have left and called my mom -- ten years ago I did just that! Now I would complain to the manager and demand a refund and THEN call my mom. At the end of the day though, it's hair. I'd be upset because you didn't do what I asked you to do.



6. Your friend surprises you with a 4 day city break and you have 1 hour to pack. Which ‘do it all’ palette do you pack in your makeup bag?

            I'd have to reach for my Too Faced Bonjour Soleil palette. I know that this is only face products but I think they are the most import things I wear! A bronzed face with highlighter is key. If I wanted to add eyeshadow, I could use the Snow Bunny colors and in a pinch I could dab some balm on my lips and make one of them work (in a pinch).

7. Your house has been robbed, don’t worry everyone is safe, but your beauty stash has been raided. What’s the product you really hope is safe?

            OMG! My Philosophy Purity Cleanser better be safe! That stuff is liquid gold. I don't have to have any makeup on but I want a clean face!

8. Your friend borrows your makeup and returns it in awful condition. Do you a) just pretend you haven’t noticed b) ask them to repurchase it or c) secretly do the same to something of theirs?

            First of all, why in the hell are you messing up my makeup?! How old are you -- 4? I have to go with none of the above. You can keep it. Trust and believe you will understand what you have done by the time I'm done talking to you AND you will repurchase it without my asking.



And there you have it! Crazy answers for totally sane questions! I tagged myself so now I tag everyone else!!

Lippie Love


Hey there!

I find myself posting lippie combos on my Instagram account many mornings. I have a thing for a matte-ish lipstick and then a gloss on top. The right combos give a gorgeous look. Even though I boast that I'm more of a lip gloss girl that a lipstick girl, the right lipstick is so necessary. I like a creme lipstick -- something matte but not drying. I like it to be a sheer color so that my lip gloss can make it whatever color I'd like it to be.

On the weekends I normally go light and just use a lip gloss. Every work day morning, I pair lipstick and gloss together. I pair certain lipsticks and glosses together so much, I could just store them together.  I thought I'd share a few of my faves. 

My first lipstick is a Big Lots find. It's a Revlon Superlustrous crème lipstick in Berry Haute. It's a sheer plum color unless you build it up. There are two glosses that I love to wear with it. Both of them are NYX Butter Glosses. I like Strawberry Parfait and Raspberry Tart. To be fair, NYX Butter Glosses are my lip loves all by themselves right now. The smell so heavenly (don't they?!!) and they glide across your lips and stay for a good part of the day. And, most of the time, you can get them for five bucks! Come on! That's crazy.

Another favorite lippie combo is Revlon Superlustrous crème lipstick in Blushing Nude. I pair it with MAC Lustreglass in Wonder Struck. It's a warm pink nude that I just love. It's the perfect nude for me.

My final favorite lippie love is my Rimmel London Moisture Renew lipstick in Violet Pop and CoverGirl Colorlicious gloss in Fruitylicious. This is what I turn to when I want a pop of fuchsia without it being overbearing for my completion. I like this one when I'm wearing purples, reds or browns. It gives that "umph" of color that I need.

I think it's great the way a boring brown lipstick and a rockin' fucsha lip gloss can pair just as well as a bright orange lipstick with a soft brown lip gloss. It's all how you pair them!


Do you pair your lippie loves? What's your favorite pair right now? And, did you run get your NYX Butter Gloss and put it on so you could smell that wonderful vanilla scent? I'm about to right now!!
