Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butters

Finally got my hands on these butterlicous babies! I've been looking high and low for these lip butters. I was jumping up for joy when I seen the display for them at my local Rite Aid. Picked up two shades, since they were buy one get one 50% off. Then I stopped by another Rite Aid that same day and got two more. 

The colors I picked out are...

Sweet Tart 090

Tutti Frutti 015

Strawberry Shortcake 080

Peach Parfait 025

Now on to the lip swatches...

  Strawberry Shortcake

Tutti Frutti

Sweet Tart

Peach Parfait

These lip butters are super creamy and glide on very smooth, and the pigmentation is amazing!

Packaging
The packaging is really cute. I love how they matched the covers with the actually lip butter shades. It's easier for me to grab the color that I want.

Pros
Super Hydrating
Lasting Power
Pigmented

Cons
Some are sheerer than others
Careful when applying, some are softer then most

Over All
I love these! There super hydrating and I would recommend them to anyone who likes sheer to high pigmented lip sticks.

Maybelline Color Tattoo ~ Tough as Taupe

So I decided to cave in and buy at least one of the Maybelline Color Tattoos. I've heard a lot of raze on these cream eyeshadows. How they were compared to the M.A.C Paint Pots or Make Up For Ever Aqua Creams. I don't own any of the higher ends brands, so pretty excited to give this a try!

There were lots of pretty vibrant colors to choose from but I picked up Tough as Taupe. I was drawn to this color, cause I haven't seen a cream shadow like this. It states that it will last for 24 hours, but who wants any type of makeup to last that long? I'll be glad if anything will last for at least 6 hours.

I got this color cause I really love taupe colors. It applies really creamy and smooth. It's pretty pigmented, as you can see from the swatch on my hand. Tough as Taupe is a dark semi-matte color. It's a very wearable and would look good on any skin tone.

I applied it on my lids without primer. Wearing mascara in this pic.

I've been wearing it was a few hours now and it hasn't crease on me yet. You can apply it with your fingers or a flat eyeshadow brush. These Maybelline Color Tattoos are very affordable than the department store brands.

Over all I love the Maybelline Color Tattoos. I will be getting a few more of the other colors soon.

NOTW ~ Valentine's French V Tips

Here's another Valentine NOTW! 

I did a french V tip using a red color and topped that with a white glitter polish. As a under coat I used a light pink glitter and as for the dots, used a bobby pin and white nail polish.

I think it came out super cute and perfect from Valentine's Day. This was a easy design to do so if you think you can't attempt this nail art just give it a try, or if you can't do the V tip then try doing a straight french tip. I don't have any dotting tools for nail art so I just used a bobby pin, which works just about the same.

This picture came out blurry but I wanted you to see how pretty the glitter looks on the nails. I might just try another Valentine's Day nail design again, we'll see! ^_~

~~~~~~
Used:

Seche Clear (Base)

Sinful Colors in Glass Pink (All-over, Two Coats)

Wet n Wild in Red (V Tips, Two Coats)

Sinful Colors in Smoking Hot (V tips, One Coat)

Kiss Nail Art in White (Dots, with a bobby pin)

Seche Vite (Top Coat)

Have a wonderful weekend!

BIRCHBOX ~ Fedruray

Woke up this morning feeling like poop! Yeah that was random...sorry but I was feeling sick this morning and I had to go somewhere. When I was on the bus I started to feel motion sickness. I noticed I'm starting to get motion sickness from riding in cars, buses and trains. I chew gum and that seems to help some what. When I got home I saw this in the mail and it made my day a little brighter!

Okay let's see what's in this months Birchbox!

Benta Berry G-1 Moisturizing Face Cream

dermalogica Daily Microfoliant

Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint

Violent Lips Temporary Lip Tattoos

*Lifestyle Extra*

Supersmile Powered Mouthrinse

BIRCHBOX Digital Download Six free tunes from Green River Ordinance (Indie Rock Band)

So what I think about this box? It's okay. I mean it's not the best and not the worst. The Benta Berry G-1 Moisturizing Face Cream is really tiny. Let's see how much I can get out of that!

Kinda excited to try out the dermalogica Daily Microfoliant. It's in a powered form so I can't wait to give that a try.

Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint is pretty tiny too. But I swatch on the back of my hand and it pretty luminzing.

The Violent Lips are kinda freaking me out...lol I will try them out but I don't know if I'll wear them out...Did anyone tried Violent Lips yet?

As extra's two Supersmile Powered Mouthrinse. Just need to add water and it will sweeten your breath and naturally whiten your teeth. I don't know how many you need in order to whiten the teeth but I'll be giving this a go! Also got free music download from Green River Ordinance. I'll give that a look later.

So that's about it! Have a wonderful day!

Mini Haul ~ DEAL$

There's a store where I live (NY City) and it's called DEAL$. They have just about everything...well almost everything. Anyways I would like to share my very mini haul with you.

Take a closer look in my basket!

Two L.A. Colors Nail Art Deco Lacquers in Intense Pink & Gold Glitter. Can't wait to play with those! Both were a dollar each.

I actually got two things from Walgreen's. Suave Keratin Dry Shampoo. I really like the Suave Dry Shampoo more than the Tresemme Dry Shampoo. The Tresemme works but the smell is way too strong. Plus the Suave brand is much cheaper, it smells good and it doesn't leave me choking for air! The second item I bought from Walgreen's is Personna Eyebrow Shaper. I like to use these a lot.

 Heart Doilies. It comes with 16 pieces and it only cost me a dollar. I think this was super cute and it will come in handy for Valentine's Day desserts!

The basket that everything is in was also from Deals and also cost a dollar!

That's it for my mini haul. Have a great weekend!

After applying a base and top coat. (Seche Clear & Vite) I used...

Sinful Colors in Glass Pink. (All over color)

 Wet n Wild nail polish in Flirty Rose Creme.
