THE LIPSTICK ISSUE

Hi ladies! How's everyone? I am so bored today so I decided to show you my lipstick collection. All in all, I have 10 lipsticks, 7 from mac, 1 each from dior, the face shop and make up for ever. I also featured here 2 of my lipglosses 1 lustreglass and 1 lipglass from mac and a kiehl's tinted lipbalm.

Here's my gorgeous collection. Any questions regarding the color will be entertained so feel free to ask or simply comment! :)

MAC SATIN LIPSTICK IN SPIRIT

- A lush lipstick that's sure to keep your pucker moisturized. It's a pretty mocha brown shade, that may appear nude to some but in actual, it's brown. :)

DIOR ADDICT LIPSTICK IN ROSE SCENARIO
-Nude metallic l/s infused with gold pearls and light reflectors for that outrageous shine. Feels light on the lips, smells good. The perfect metallic l/s since I really don't like metallic variants so this one's really the cream of the crop!

KIEHL'S TINTED LIPBALM WITH SPF 15
- The rave of magazines as the best lipbalm. Well, it really is. Smells good and you'll love the tinge of red on your lips though staying power is not really good. You'll love the shine!

MAC LIPGLASS IN PINK POODLE
-A nice buildable pink l/g with specks of gold shimmer for that ultimate shine. color pay- off is good, staying power is relatively good as well.

MAC LUSTREGLASS IN BEAUX
-A good nude l/g. Has staying power and the shine is impressive. MAC promised that this will transcend any known shine. Well, it did. :)

MAKE UP FOR EVER LACQUERED LIPSTICK IN 203 (ORANGE FLUO PINK)
-A neon pink l/s with excellent color pay- off and staying power. An instant glam giver on any dull face. Smells good. Though pricey, this'll give you a run for your money!

MAC'S MATTE LIPSTICK IN RUSSIAN RED
-My ultimate favorite. Intense red l/s with blue undertones. This is my perfect red l/s!

MAC MATTE LIPSTICK IN DIVA
-My personal fave! Deep red lipstick with a black undertone. Perfect for that vintage look!

THE FACE SHOP/S COLOR CARE MATTE LIPSTICK IN 301
- A semi- dupe for MAC's Russian Red. This line boasts of divine smelling l/s's with great color pay- offs and gorgeous colors in matte and metallic variants.

MAC MATTE LIPSTICK IN MARRAKESH
-My first- ever MAC baby. Terracotta l/s.

MAC SATIN LIPSTICK IN PROFUSION
- A barbie pink color. The color looks like a very girly pink.

MAC SATIN LIPSTICK IN TWIG
- A classic fave. It's a chocolatey color with rose undertones. A mauve- ish looking l/s.

MAC SATIN LIPSTICK IN MALT
- A gorgeous nude l/s. Appears as a nude semi- peach l/s. Looks fabulous with clear lipgloss!

MAC'S LUSTRE LIPSTICK IN TOUCH
-Described as a peachy cinnamon color in MAC'S site but it appears as a shiny chocolate brown colored l/s

EOTD: DARK SUMMER

For the past few days, I've been so uninspired to make some EOTDs for my blog. Maybe I was just dayum lazy or simply put, uninspired.

And once I got my hands on my new MAC eyeshadow in carbon, things have changed and I'm back to my creative mood once again! here's a look that I'd like to call DARK SUMMER

WHAT I USED TO CREATE THE EYE LOOK

MAC EYESHADOW IN CARBON

MAC EYESHADOW IN GLAMOUR CHECK!

MAC PIGMENT IN NAKED

FOR THE OVERALL CANVAS, I USED

MAC MINERALIZE SKIN FINISH POWDER IN DEEP DARK

AVON SUPERSHOCK VOLUMIZING MASCARA IN BLACK

THE FACE SHOP GREATIST LIQUID EYELINER IN BLACK

DIOR ADDICT LIPSTICK IN ROSE SCENARIO

HOW TO CREATE THE LOOK 'DARK SUMMER'

STEP 1: APPLY MAC PIGMENT IN NAKED ALL OVER YOUR LIDS AS BASE

STEP 2: USING AN ANGLED CONTOUR BRUSH, APPLY MAC EYESHADOW IN CARBON ON YOUR INNER CREASE MOVING UPWARDS. BLEND UNTIL YOU CREATE A FADING LOOK THAT'S DARK ON THE INNER CREASE AND BLEND UPWARDS TO A FADING EFFECT.

STEP 3: APPLY THE MAC GLAMOUR CHECK! EYESHADOW ON YOUR LIDS. BLEND EVENLY.

STEP 4: APPLY MAC EYESHADOW IN CARBON ON YOUR LOWER LASH LINE. APPLY IT ON THE OUTER PART OF THE LASH LINE ONLY

STEP 5: APPLY AVON SUPERSHOCK MASCARA

STEP 6: APPLY THE FACE SHOP LIQUID EYELINER IN BLACK ABOVE THE LASH LINE

TOP 5 LIPSTICKS

LIPSTICKS MAKE YOU LOOK FLAT GORGEOUS IN AN INSTANT AND IS THE NUMBER ONE MAKE- UP PRODUCT IN THE WORLD. THESE TUBES OF HAPPINESS THAT OVERFLOW WITH COLOR INSTANTLY GIVES A DULL FACE A BRIGHT POP OF COLOR. I'M NO LIPSTICK WEARER BUT I LOVE LIPPIES BECAUSE I LIKE HOW IT GIVES CHARACTER TO MY LIPS. I ALSO LOVE WEARING LIPPIES WHEN I'M GOING TO A SPECIAL OCCASSION.

1. MAC- it's what made mac famous. Their lipsticks are highly- pigmented and lasts long in terms of coverage. They also have a buffet of colors so you have tons to choose from
2. THE FACE SHOP- their lippies have great quality at a cheap price. Try their color care lippies for that moisturizing and lavender scented lippies. 301 is a great alternative for the russian red or ruby woo of MAC.
3. DIOR- exquisite packaging, great smell and the color pay- offs are great. The addict line boosts of their metallic lippies that don't look cheap that's why I love their addict line
4. MAKE UP FOR EVER- Highly- pigmented, lasts long. Great smelling too! Their lippies have good- color pay- offs especially the lacquered types. The packaging looks very sophisticated too. A little goes a long way
5.AVON- If you're on for a bargain, Avon lippies are your best bets. they have tons of colors and are moisturizing as well. Make- up artist Ricci Chan swears by Avon as the brand who has the most gorgeous pink- red lippies ever.
