NYX Butter Lipstick First Impression + Swatches

Hey Guys!

Today I'm here to show you some more swatches of my lip haul I posted a little while back. I've already shown swatches of the new Rimmel chubby sticks I picked up, so if you'd like to see those, click >here<.

Butter Lipsticks. When you hear that statement, what do you think of? I, personally, think of something that's ultra moisturizing and creamy. I'm happy to say that NYX hit the nail on the head with the formula of these. They are very opaque and it only takes a few swipes to cover your entire lips. I have some of the darker shades, but I've read that some of the lighter shades are streaky and takes a bit to build up to the actual color that's shown in the tube. The darker shades that I purchased do not have that problem, fortunately.

The four shades I picked up: 

Mary Janes | Razzle | Hunk | Hot Tamale

Mary Janes | Razzle | Hunk | Hot Tamale

Mary Janes is a beautiful deep brick red. I think it'd be perfect for those that are afraid of rep lipstick because you can easily sheer it out and it becomes a nice stain.

Razzle is a bright blue based pink. It's probably my favorite color out of the four I picked up and if you've followed my blog for any amount of time, you shouldn't be surprised! This will get a lot of wear out me in the upcoming months.

Hunk is such an interesting color, it's described as a blue violet. I love the duo chrome look that this has on my lips.

Hot Tamale is a red-orange. It's my least favorite of the bunch, only because my lips and orange colored anything don't really mesh well. I do love this color though.

OVERALL:

I like these lipsticks. I do advise you to exfoliate your lips because, even though they're creamy, they will show any kind of dry patches you have! I haven't worn these for a long period of time yet, so I can't talk about how long they last on the lips. You can purchase these from Ulta, Nyxcosmetics.com, or anywhere else NYX is sold!

Pink Pout Week!! ::Ioni Cosmetics::

Hey Guys!

Ready for another beautiful pink lip?

Todays Pink Pout: Ioni Cosmetics lipgloss "Sassy"

Lipglosses are probably my favorite lip product to wear. When it turns out to be as opaque as this one, it's surely a winner!

You can purchase this lipgloss at Fred's Pharmacy and on their website.

Love Bold Lips? Try Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquers!

Hey Guys!

I have been on the hunt for these lip products for a while and luckily they showed up in a Walgreen's I was near! These lip lacquers are everything I anticipated them being: creamy, smooth, pigmented, & moisturizing! I find that they keep that lip gloss consistency while on the lips and, like lip glosses, can come off easily. They're $4.99 and such a great steal. I only have 4 colors, but I plan to go snatch up more.

[T-B] Stellar | Galaxy | Nova | Celestial

[Top Row] Stellar - Galaxy(slight shimmer) ; [Bottom Row] Nova - Celestial

Have you picked up any of these, if so which ones? If you haven't gotten any, do you plan to??

Are Your Lips Pucker Perfect?

Hey Guys! 


Last Week, I talked about my top picks for Spring/Summer lips, but lip color will do your pout no justice if they're dry and flaky [ew!]. So, today I'm going to share with you how I plan to keep my lips perfect during the upcoming hot months! The product I use is the Fresh Brown Sugar Lip Polish:

I have the mini version, which came in this set along with one of their tinted lip treatments, from Sephora.


I've used it a few times and haven't used too much product because it's really packed into the tube.

It smells really, really good!! It's packed with brown sugar crystals and oils like meadowfoam, jojoba, and grapeseed. It also has shea butter and that really helps with moisturizing your lips.




How To Use The Brown Sugar Lip Polish:


What You'll Need:

• Fresh Brown Sugar Lip Polish
• A small amount of water [About 1/4 cup]
• A paper towel or wash cloth
• Lips that are ready for rejuvenation! 

First: Wet your lips with some of the water. They don't have to be dripping, just make sure they're noticeably wet.

Next: Scoop out a small amount of the Brown Sugar Lip Polish

You don't need any more than this!

Then: Apply it to your lips [try not to eat it!] and massage the polish in. I usually massage for about 20-30 seconds because I like to make sure they're exfoliated. It can get messy once your fingers heat up the shea butter, so be warned! Add more water to your lips if you need to, it'll help move the brown sugar granules around. Your lips will look like this:

Not the prettiest sight!! haha

After: Wet your paper towel or washcloth and wipe the all polish off of your lips. You may still have some brown sugar still sticking around, so make sure you get it all off.

Exfoliated & Flake free!!

Finally: Apply your favorite moisturizing balm to your lips. [If you're looking for a new one, check out this post] I used my L'Oreal Colour Riche balm [reviewed here] because it was the most moisturizing product I had on me.

Yay! No Dead Skin!!

You can purchase the Fresh Brown Sugar Lip Polish at Sephora.com or Fresh.com, the full size retails for $22.50. If you want the set I have with the mini lip polish and a tinted balm, you can purchase it in Sephora stores or Sephora.com for $25.

Your lips need exfoliation and moisturizing just as much, if not more, than your face & body. Make sure you take care of them, keep them picture & pucker perfect, and don't forget SPF!! Thanks so much for reading!
