Blogmas Day 19: Holiday Lip products!

With the holidays here, I'm sure everyone is celebrating all month long. You know with holiday parties, decorating and baking! Everyone has their own way of getting into the holiday spirit. Some dress up and others wear makeup. As I have said before I am not really a lipstick person nor do I regularly use lip products. Unless it's one that I really love. A couple of years ago I talked about the Kate Moss Rimmel London Lipstick. If you want to check out my first review on this click here Rimmel London: Kate Moss Lipstick. Trying this lipstick for the second time was a much better experience for me. Although I really liked it the first time, applying it was difficult for me. If you're laughing at me I get it, it's pretty funny. I was clueless when it came to applying lipstick. Compared to the first time this color does not intimidate me as much. It's still bold but it's more subtle than I thought it was. This lipstick is very pigmented and it applies on the lips very easily! If you're going to a party and you want to make a bold statement, this lipstick is great for that. If you're simple like me, a neutral eye look would be gorgeous paired with this. But if you're some who like dramatic and wants to go all out, pairing this lipstick with a smoky eye would look fierce. A winged eyeliner would also go great! The color is Rossetto and this is not matte, which means it doesn't dry.

The other lip product is simple, but it's a two for one deal! The e.l.f. lip and cheek duo stix comes in the color Rose and it's a matte and shimmer finish. The colors are pretty and although you can use this on the lips by itself, I would recommend pairing it with a more bold lipstick or gloss. The Lip and cheek duo is not glossy or shiny. The shimmer side does not show up well for me, I can't really see the shimmer at all. In certain spots there's a little, but not really. If you tried this you will probably get better results because everyone is different. Overall I do like this product, it's not one that I love by itself but it's good. Again for a holiday party simple look, I would leave it as is and pair with a simple eye look. If you're dramatic add on a bolder lipstick or gloss to this product, so it can be shiny and a smoky look.

I hope you enjoyed reading and let me know your favorite festive lipsticks or glosses!

Finding My Passion For Blogging Again

At some point in time, when your heart isn’t into something you should take a break. Blogging is great and I couldn’t see myself without it. However sometimes it can get overwhelming and that’s what happened to me this year. For about eight months I have not blogged and I thought I was a bad person for that. I have realized that it was best to take the long break. In doing so, I have found so many things I love to talk about. I was holding myself back because I put a label on myself, wanting to be known as a beauty blogger. Sure I attached the lifestyle part, but honestly I don’t really know what that means. During this year I had time to reflect on where I wanted my blog to go and whether I even wanted to write anymore. Honestly the motivation to blog was not there at all and at that time, I really didn’t care if I continued. I did not want to look at my blog or deal with it. For me I was tired of putting in the work and not getting anything in return. Meaning no one was r

E.l.f. Eye Brushes

Although this haul is very small, I just wanted to share with you what I brought. I decided to buy brushes, because I needed them more! The first brushes I were eco-friendly and were really good, but their were more face brushes, then eye brushes. So that wasn't really helpful to me. It was only one eye shadow brush. I rarely shop online, I always go to the store. But I was bored one day and I guess this is what happened! I am really excited to try these brushes! I also brought some things from BH cosmetics, but that's for another post! Eye Shadow Brush The eye shadow brush is supposed to help apply the eye shadow evenly and make it easier. This sounds good, because the brushes I used in the past were tough and hard. It seemed like I had to put a lot of eye shadow on, before it actually showed up on my eyes. Blending Eye Brush This brush is supposed to blend the eye shadows, while softening dramatic edges and lines. This is really good, because before I ha
