MAC LIPSTICK COLOR - CB 96

YES YES YES I KNOW!!! I got another lipstick from MAC! I can't help it! I know they are very reliable in giving me bold, beautiful colors I love while also having the ability to last for long periods of time! And the lipsticks make your lips looks healthy, not gross and chalky.

So I was eyeing this color CB 96 for some time because I've always been in love with the color coral. But this shade takes it to a whole 'notha level. It's a combination of not only CORAL, but orange, pink, red, and bronze all with a glimmer to it. It doesn't look overpowering on your lips, just the right amount of color and surprise that makes you stand out. I don't know why I'm attracted to crazy color lipsticks, but I can't get enough of any lipsticks in general. If you ever thought about buying a lipstick shade of your own, I highly recommend going to MAC because you can try any shade on you want so you know what it looks like before you buy it! WHICH IS IMPORTANT FOR ANY AND EVERY LIP SHADE YOU BUY!


The great thing with MAC is that it's not expensive...only $14.50 and lasts! Check it out!

REVLON LIPSTICK MADNESS!!!

First let me do some self-promoting. The ULTA Beauty store just opened up near the South Bay Galleria and I knew I had to check it out. Going in, the store definitely reminded me of Sephora with all it's beauty, skin, and hair products. Since I didn't know exactly what to get, I decided to keep it simple and get some lipsticks. In their cosmetics section, they had a special of buying two getting one free. So I decided to get some Revlon Lipsticks, to be more specific the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipsticks.


CORALBERRY: Since my mom again "misplaced" our coral lipstick from MAC, I was determined to find one. The only bad thing about buying at the store like this is that you can't try the product first before you buy, so it's one big guessing game. I decided on Coralberry because it had that coral shade I was looking for without being too dark or too light. When I tried it on, the color was nice, but I had to put on a lot just so it can go on evenly. It looked a bit cracked on my lips, of course putting lipgloss over made it better. I wish the color was more vibrant right when you put it on.

BLACKBERRY: Of course I got this color since I have a Blackberry phone...duh! Haha. I've been wanting this color for a long, long time. Though it may look really dark from the outside, it applies very nicely! It's a kind of brick red color that shows right away! I absolutely love it! I was kind of nervous about this color, but I think it'll look good on all skin tones. BE THAT LADY IN RED!!!

WILD ORCHID: I may have too many pink lipsticks around ranging in colors, but every girl deserves to be Pretty in Pink! I ended up choosing this color because of it's beautiful vibrant color that pops. When I tried it on, it ended up being my favorite of the three! The color went on so smooth and looked exactly as it did before you put it on. I am totally in love with this color because it screams for attention in a good way. There's nothing better to describe it than a shining magenta color, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!

The one thing about Revlon Lipsticks that I was iffy about before was that it doesn't stay on long like MAC lipsticks. Though this may hold true for Coralberry, I think the other two colors will be able to stay on pretty long throughout the day because of it's vibrant colors. Knowing this makes me more confident to buy store cosmetics because I know they won't disappoint! I definitely recommend these colors, every girl needs to have at least one shade of pink, coral, and red! Get your pretty girl rock :)

SPRING 2011 FAVE BEAUTY/STYLE PICK

Ch ch ch ch check it out.

Though this weather has been like a rollercoaster, one thing for certain is in this present moment we are in Spring. Any other place could not enjoy this beautiful SoCal weather as much as we do, so take advantage!

My favorite two looks this spring are the floral jumpsuit and baby pink lipstick - both which I purchased yesterday!

Since it's not exactly "warm" yet, opt for a floral jumpsuit instead of a romper. Not only does it give off a spring vibe, but it's fashionable and keeps you a bit warm for the chilly winds. Since the legs of these jumpsuits are wide legged, remember to wear high wedges/sandals to balance out the look. Also because of the busy overall print, keep make-up to a minimal (I would suggest a bold lip color).

Check out some of these styles available at Forever 21! Don't forget to look at some other department stores and retailers since floral jumpsuits are all the rage right now!

Forever 21 Black/Blue Floral Jumpsuit - $22.80

So I admit I was a bit inspired by the baby pink lips of diva Nicki Minaj that made me want to try this color. Initially I wasn't up for it because lighter colors tend to come out chalkier on lips, but I know this season calls for everything PINK. My new favorite brand for lipsticks, MAC, has a sheen supreme lipstick in Behave Yourself $14.50. Like the name, it is very sheer, but comes on very smoothly and has glitter! To finish this look, apply a lipgloss over it so it doesn't appear so chalky. I love how pouty and bright this color makes my lips look. Since this color is the hottest on the market right now, try another MAC lipstick color - Saint Germain $14.50. This amplified lip color is wayy bolder and soooo Pink Friday!

This Spring, pick up the must-haves this season! Floral jumpsuits to wear on any occasion and baby pink lips to give a playful twist to your overall look!
