Wet N Wild Vamp It Up

So on my hunt for the perfect dark purple lipstick I came across Wet N Wild's Vamp It Up. The color is a super dark witchy eggplant with a creme finish. First off this lipstick is AMAZING

1. it costs 2-3 dollars 
2. super duper opaque 
3. no gaps 
4. stays put, super duper long wearing 
5. feels great on your lips not super duper drying. 

This lipstick is just amazing I can't even really tell you how much I love it. Some people aren't going to like this color, it is super duper gothic so beware. I like to wear this with a full face of foundation aka flawless skin, no blush, filled in brows and just some mascara. When you wear a lipstick this bold and dark you just want the rest of your face to be a clean blank canvas or else the lipstick will start to wear you and you won't be wearing the lipstick (if you know what I mean). You don't want this crazy dark color over powering the rest of your face. You need to create balance by going for a totally neutral look. Wearing any eyeliner or blush just makes you look like your wearing clown makeup. 

I totally recommend this lipstick if you want a super dark vampy/gothic look. You don't need a lipliner but I would suggest apply with a lip brush to get a more precise application and more polished look. However with patience you can apply this nicely straight from the tube. If you don't own a lip-brush no problem, just used a small concealer brush instead, or a fine liner brush they work pretty much the same. 

If you have been interested in experienmenting with black lipstick I would suggest working your way up to it. Try Vamp It Up first, get used to it, and partice wearing it. Then once you have mastered it you can move on to black. To wear black lipstick or any really gothic lip color you need to have confidence because some people are going to stare at you and just think 

"what is that girl wearing, oh god it is so ugly IT BURNS MY EYES" 

To sum things up this is a great product and I really want to try even more colors from the Wet N Wild line 

Maybelline Shadow Duo in Browntones

I purchased a little mabelline brown eyeshadow duo thinking that it might be nice to travel with or through into a on-the-go makeup bag. The duo consists of two colors the larger pan contains a light cool tones brown and the small eyeshadow pan has a darker taupey brown. Both of the shadows contain shimmer.

The lighter brown shadow is very sheer and can be worn all over the lid to even out skin tone. It is definatly brown so if you have super pale skin this will not be equal to a vanilla color. If you have very dark skin this could be a good transition color or all over the lid. The shimmer looks really visible in the pan but on the lid is very sublte. This is a great neutral color and can work as a great light crease color for pale skin tones. Over all I like the pigmentation and it is soft and buttery to apply.

The darker brown color is way more pigmented and can really be built up to a full dark brown. When applied lightly it is a great natural crease color. This shimmer in this shadow gives it a sheen but it isn't too sparkly. Again has a great consistency and blends out easily. A great drugstore shadow.

Overall I am pretty happy with this little duo. The shadows could be more pigmented but they are still work pretty well. I would definitely recommend buying this if you are looking for some inexpensive neutral colors.

Covergirl Eye Enhancers In Sheerly Nudes

So I know, I know I haven't written anything In a while but school has been totally crazy. I purchased a Covergirl quad to see if maybe the Country Woods quad was just a bad one and didn't reflect the whole collection. I bought Sheerly Nudes which is very similar to Country Woods but is less has less amber undertones and more grey.
The quad (left to right) comes with a medium grey brown with shimmer, a medium brown pink with shimmer, a light frosty pink, and a frosty vanilla. The colors in the pan look pigmented but when swatched these are all sparkle and no color. The medium pink and the vanilla just show up as glitter. The brown color is a darker glitter. The only shadow having any pigment is the frosty light pink but that still isn't saying much. Overall you can't really do anything with this eyeshadow pallet except apply various types of slightly color shimmer to your eyes. Even with an eyeshadow primer this quad just does nothing. Overall it is a total dud and I have nothing more to really say about it. This product costs 6 to 7 dollars depending where you purchase it.

8 Fall and Winter Lip Colors (drugstore)

So I have collected a few (a lot) of berry, wine, and purple lipsticks that are great to wear during the fall and winter. I really like wearing a dark lipstick, minimal eyes, and thick defined brows during the colder seasons. I have swatched my collection on my arm and lips. Some of the lipsticks do look very similar when photographed but in person the difference is less subtle. Also all of the lipssticks are drugstore!

Revlon Brow Fantasy Review (rave)

I pretty much use all types of makeup products and it wasn't until a few months ago that I started to fill in my brows. For a while I tried different shadows but they were too light or some shadows were too dark. Everything made my brows just look fake and too thick. I tried pencils but I couldn't get light enough strokes for it to look seamless. However my sister purchased the Revlon Brow Fantasy pencil/gel duo but never really used it. She left it at home when she went off to collage and I tried it out.  And to my surprise it was a really good and so easy to use.

Easy Eyes With Maybelline Color Tattoos

School has started I no longer have 30 minutes to leisurely my makeup anymore. I know, sad faces all around. Taking my time, and doing my makeup is so relaxing for me. Just to sit down at my desk, pay attention to my face, and apply products is very cathartic. But, when I am rushing to get to school I need quick makeup fixes to get me out of the door. So here is my quick and easy eye look, it should take you just a few minutes to do, and the best part NO brushes needed!
