5 Lip Products For Fall!

I don't follow trends and if I do I'm the last one to jump on. But the dark lip trend is very popular so I thought it would be cool to share my favorite dark lip products for the season. But of course you don't have to wear a dark lip to get into the fall season. As I was swatching these colors I realized how similar they looked. I'm not sure if I would call them dupes, because you can tell the difference. I also got a lip pencil from Nicka K New York. I brought the lip pencil the same time I brought the lipshine from Nicka K. But it seemed to fit the fall lip trend.

The lip products I brought are from two different brands. The first brand is Absolute New York, I've never heard of this brand before I purchased the Velvet Lippie products. The colors are Vampette and Wicked. As you can see in my lip swatch, these two colors are very similar to the ones from NYX Cosmetics. Both Velvet lip products do not dry but I still love them. I got these at a beauty supply store, I'm quite sure about the price. Now on the absolute New York site it's $5.99 but, I feel like it was less at the store. For the Wicked lippie, I had to reapply to get a darker look. But it could show up differently for you. Both Vampette and Wicked are next to each other in color (AVI 22 & 23).

The second brand is NYX Cosmetics. These colors are She Devil and Copenhagen! I brought Copenhagen because of Pinterest, yes I know I'm crazy. It was much cheaper on Amazon, I brought for under $4! This is my favorite one; I've been using this for months now. Copenhagen is a soft matte lip cream, therefore it dries. I actually like fact that it's matte, because it does not come off. But I do have to reapply it after a while. Now the "Simply Vamp" in She Devil is really pretty. I didn't think it would look right on me, but it suits me pretty well! This one is matte and it does come off but, not as much as I thought it would. I like the dark vampy look, it's gorgeous. Unlike the Copenhagen, I brought She Devil directly from NYX Cosmetics site. I believe the price was $5. Of course you can purchase both from their site, but I think it was sold out when I wanted to get it.

Last but not least my lip pencil from Nicka K (NK) comes in dark purple. I use this pencil to line my lips before applying She Devil and Wicked. It's very pigmented which is a plus from me.

If you want to know more about these lip products, I will leave the links down below!

Being a blogger is not easy at all, whether it's a hobby or a job. Every blogger works so hard to put out quality work. But sometimes it can be a struggle. While in a blogging rut I came across a lot of posts that have helped me gain confidence. These posts also helped me realize my creativity; all I needed to do was use my noggin! But before you click on the links below, I'm going to explain what these links mean to me. I don't want to bore you but I'm hoping these will help you too. Everytime I get into a blogging rut I always look at my blog design. Thinking that the design I have is always the problem, I go and I spend money to change it. In reality the major problem was myself. Now don't get me wrong, designs I've had were beautiful it just wasn't for me. During my long "break" or breakdown I did a lot of searching. I'm pretty sure you all heard of Etsy, am I right? This is where I found two shops that have helped me tremendous...

Is there a guide to blogging?

It's been 3 months since I started blogging and I already have 57 followers and I am so grateful and thankful. In a million years I would have never imagined being a blogger. But sometimes I do not feel like one. I mean I know being a successful and known blogger doesn't happen overnight, but sometimes I get discouraged. I have always been someone who is cautious and worries about what people think, so sometimes I feel no one will like what I post. I also feel like, because I am not a well known blogger no one will take the time and give me a chance. I am just being myself, is there something wrong with that? So I started feeling lost and I didn't know what to do; then I thought "Is there a guide to blogging?". Not only did I have these thoughts, but I was also thinking that there are so many wonderful bloggers (beauty, fashion, and lifestyle), so who would even notice my blog. So is there a book to teach people how to blog or am I just overreacting? Sometim...

Color Theory:8 Piece Ultimate Eyeliner Set

I love Eyeliner; eyeliner is my go to look. Anytime I had eyeliner my eyes would look like their dressed up! The only eyeliner I have ever wore up until this point was black; because that was the only color I thought was out (crazy of me right?!) Anyway lately I've seen many girls wear different color eyeliner, mainly on YouTube; so I knew immediately I would have to try it. After a while I forgot all about them, until Christmas of 2012 when I received them. I was so excited because my Mom didn't even know I wanted them; now that I am thinking I didn't even ask! Now I can match up the colors with eyeshadow. Enough of that here's the box they came in and I have the colors listed below. On the back it just talks about the different styles you can do with the eyeliners. For example: The famous winged look (instructions for it are on the back). ...
