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!

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 h...

Self Love Is So Important!

Has there ever been a time where you felt unworthy? Unworthy of someone loving and caring for you. Have you ever disliked yourself so much, to the point where you would go into a dark place? I ask these questions not to necessarily get an answer back, but to let you know this happens to a lot of people. Self love is so important and everyone should feel good about themselves. Unfortunately in today's world that isn't the case at all. Society puts a label on what people should and should not look that. People judge one another 24 hours, 7 days a week and it's wrong. I've wanted to write this for a while now, but sometimes it's difficult. You don't want to offend anyone, but you also want to bring awareness to this topic. I'm not an expert on how to love yourself, but I do know what it's like to not have confidence. I know what it feels like to not think you're good enough, even when people tell you that you are. I use to think I was I wa...

BH Cosmetics Eyebrow Tweezer

Going to get your brows waxed costs money, so with that being said I rather do my own. Although I am not a professional I think I can manage. I do not wax my eyebrows. To be honest I have never waxed or tried to wax my brows. If you're like me in the department of not waxing, you find other ways to style (fix) your brows. For me I have only tried two products; one will be in this post and the other is linked here: Brow kit ! I have learned to love my brows just the way they are. But they do deserve to pampered at the same time. If I have a few eyebrow hairs that do not belong, I want something quick and easy to fix this. That is why I have my bh cosmetics eyebrow tweezer. I have written a few posts on bh cosmetics products, but I am not affiliated with them in any way. I just simply love their products because its still high quality products, but at a cheaper price. This is great because not everyone wants to spend a lot or are maybe on a bu...
