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 ...

Can a $2 castor oil product make your eyelashes grow?! Or is it a magical "potion?"

Has anyone heard of CASTOR OIL? ( bottle on the right) I came across this product when I searched on YouTube for ways to help eyelashes grow other than the vaseline I was trying, (well, I didn't want to spend $40 on Rapidlash). I had another YTuber who was using castor oil + olive oil  to enhance her lash growth and thought, why not try it?!    I tried it for a couple weeks but it didn't really make an impact on me. But now, I have returned! and is trying just Castor Oil only this time =) However, I'm doing a mini eyelashes experiment to compare the growth between Castor oil ( will be apply to the right eye) and Sweet Almond Oil (left eye) for 1 month.  Read below to see the benefits of this versatile oil and if my eyelashes even grew between the 2. What is CASTOR OIL? According to Skinverse , Castor Oil is extracted from the seeds of the castor oil (ricinus communis), its color is pale yellow and rather transparent, sort of just like olive oil. It doesn't r...

First Goodbye

  This specific day I said goodbye to something, the first of its kind in my life.It is difficult to let go when something has become part of your life and you will not be the same after it is gone.  I will do my best to focus on other things in my life and getting things done.  I don't regret it though, I'm grateful because we are not rocks nor stones that are untouchable and life brings us events and people to change our lives. Thank you for everything you have given me I now have a thing for rings and earrings, long earrings. The one above is my favorite (Charlotte Russe), it reminds me of mango leaves for some reason and  that leads to the book The House on Mango Street that I will read by the end of this year. Have you ever been in an experience where you never want to be in ever again? I never want to be so cold again, therefore, I always wear a small camsole (is that right?) inside all of my shirts.  I think i'm kind of into lacey clothing items. ...
