Lipsticks Fever

I had one of the most difficult shopping experience today.  It was so difficult restraining myself.  I haven't shopped in Wal-mart for a while, I do try to shop more at Target, and being a more conscious shopper. My goodness, I have never been into lipsticks as much as I am now, Spring really does bring out the "lipstick fever" in all of us because they are relatively inexpensive and they have such beautiful colors. Spring is here and everyone's out getting their pinks and nudes on.

[Revlon's "Pink Pout"] It has a soft beautiful orchid undertone.

My eyes were toward the Revlon lipsticks, especially the matte ones. They are better in real life than these pictures make them appear to be, a lot more bold and pigmented.

Their new line has such beautiful intoxicating colors that I wanted to grab all of them and run to the checkout counter before my rationality kicked in. Revlon's Colorburst lipsticks "Baby Pink" and "Carnation" are pretty! I really loved the "Pink Pout" and "Nude Attitude." Unfortunately Maybelline's "Pink Please" were out, but no fear because they will restock again.

Maybelline's new packaging design with the semi transparent red tubes are definitely better than their previous ones.  Come to think of it, why would lipsticks not have any transparency in their packaging? If consumers can't see the actual colors, although there are stickers with the names and colors on the bottom, it's not the same thing if one were to see the lipstick itself. Beautiful packaging can make us value the products more, giving them more value, increases our want to have "it," even if we have to spend a bit more.
Do you agree?

Review: Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner

Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner   in  Blackest Black  is very creamy and super gentle when applied to the lids, not to mention the brush is definitely a great add in as well. I remember when I first bought the L'oreal Hip Gel Eyeliner, the tiny brush that came with it was super stiff and horrible, but this brush is more flexible and it can be use to fling your winged eyeliners and such.  Would I repurchase this product again?  Yes, I really want to   eggplant .  In terms of staying power, I have really oily lids, so when I had this on the other day, it lasted a lot longer than I thought (although I don't remember how many hours, definitely not 24 though because I could tell part of the liner was fading).  I'm sure if you apply an eye primer base or your concealer, it would last a very long time.    I took this picture right after I bought the product because I was so excited to try it since it had ...

5 Wet n Wild lipstick swatches, why customers' reviews are important to a business, WIN free eyeshadow!

 Practicing makes perfect, repetition with practice is even better I had told myself I'd dedicate an hour every day to practicing makeup applications but the past couple of weeks have been so busy for me that I haven't been able to- but then whenever I do practice, I always try the same groups of colors on the eyes and same techniques. My goal is next time I practice, I will have a YouTube video on and practice along with the guru as well. You assume once you watch something, you can replicate the same colors and techniques after- but not I. I do not want Beyoumakeupshop's customers nor my friends, or people I know to think I am always about promoting our own products. I really do try to find different ways to use the products, research on the products and reviews, and I do try to test on myself prior to adding them. I have not tested nor use everything in the Shop, but hopefully over time I will be able to. Why customers' reviews are important to a business I bel...

I'm grateful for work =)

The weather has been sooo cold here in Northern California, much colder than last year =(  I don't think I can ever imagine myself living anywhere but the warm states, unless its New York and there's no need to drive with the subway/cabs. Ay, with the 30 for 30 challenge, I have been so uncreative, but now that I'm starting to work, I'll be more out of the box of my typical self and practice wearing different makeup at the same time.  I'm so grateful because I finally found a part time job and after the first day of work (yesterday), I was so tired and end up sick. From now on, I will make sure to keep myself warm and wear tons of layers of clothing because it is so easy to get sick in this type of weather. One of most dislike situations is being sick- it just makes you feel helpless and weak. I'm gong to make sure I work extra hard and always do my best because I'm so grateful to have found it. How do people work full time, go to school, and still raise...
