::Top 5:: Fall + Winter Lipsticks

Hey Guys!
It's finally getting cold down here in the South and I've been pulling out the dark lipsticks. My favorite brand, as you will be able to tell, has definitely been Wet N Wild. Their Megalast  lipsticks are the bomb.com with the pigmentation and lasting power. They are definitely my favorite drugstore lipstick brand!

I think dark lips can be pulled off with all skin tones, it's just about finding the right undertone and color for you. You can also make them more wearable by adding a lip liner or a gloss of a different color.


My Top Five Are ~drum roll please~::

Ravin' Raisin | Cherry Bomb | Sugar Plum Fairy | Vamp It Up | [MAC]  Yung Rapunxel

SWATCHES:

Be sure to check out the video to see lip swatches of these colors. What colors will you be trying in the fall time?

Wet N Wild Haul!!! +FOTD

Hey Guys!!
I recently got the 6 pan palettes from Wet N Wild and I'm so excited! They're being discontinued, unfortunately, but if you have a Rite Aid nearby they might be 75% off so run! On to the haul:

I was also able to pick up some Mega Last lipsticks that were 40% off at Rite Aid this past week. [I got some of the new Spring colors a couple of weeks ago, you can see swatches here]

The only lipstick that looks more true to color in the picture above than the lip swatches, is Mocha-licious.

Again, Mocha-licious is looking slightly more orange in the picture than in person.

Ravin' Raisin is more like the hand swatch.

I really think I'm starting to like lipsticks now! Do you have any of the Mega Last lipsticks?






I also did a simple look with the Vanity palette and the Ravin' Raisin lipstick.

*Whew!* Thanks so much for reading!!  What are the latest things you've hauled?

I stopped into Big Lots to see if I could find a deal on some cosmetics and I did! I found the L'Oreal HIP shadows for $1.20 each!!!!! I checked different websites like Ulta, CVS, and Walgreens and they all sell these duos for $7.99. I was SO happy I was able to get them at a bargain!

See how amazingly pigmented they are?! I'm definitely going to be looking at other Big Lots for more of these gems. I can see myself using these a lot of different looks. I was hoping the yellow in Poppy would show up a bit more, but I'm happy to have another matte brown in my collection!! I went from having none to two sources! Awesome!


The next thing I got was some lipsticks. I've been looking for an orange lipstick and also a slightly brighter purple than Va Va Violet and I think I went too bright lol. I also picked some others that appealed to me:

I was most excited about the Peach Colada because it looked so pretty in the tube, but as you can see from the swatch, it is very very sheer. It's really hard to even see it on my lips, bummer. I'm glad I picked up Only Orange though otherwise my orange lipstick search would've been in vain! I really like that lipstick and pair it with my ELF Glossy Gloss in Tangy Tangerine. It may seem a little "summery" but I like the combo a lot and I usually wear it everyday. 


Last, but not least I picked up this baked eyeshadow palette from L.A. Colors in Praline. They are really shimmery neutral toned shadows and pretty pigmented:
