LIP TUTORIAL AND A GRIPE!

Recently I had a number of people asking about my lips and how they were done. So I thought I would show you in photos. I will try and do a video tutorial too. I will also be covering the eye makeup as I thought it looked pretty good today. And I have a gripe!

In the first photo you can see my lips are just covered with foundation to act as a base for the lipliner, the foundation I use varies every day. Today I used Maybelline Dream Nude Airfoam. Then I cover my entire lip with lipliner, a light nude brown color. In this second photo you can see that my lips are covered with Cover Girl lipliner in Sublime. I go beyond the boundary of my lipline to create a fuller lip. In the third photo you can see that my lips have lipgloss on them. I decided to use Stila Sparkle Luxe Lipgloss in Fairy Dust, a Pink-Melon tone.


For the rest of my makeup today, I used Urban Decay eyeshadows on my eyes. I used Last Call (gorgeous shimmery dark purple mauve) in the crease, on the outer edge of the lid and under the eye. Then I used Sin (dark shimmery beige) on the lid and Polyester Bride (glittery shimmery white) under the brow. To line the upper lid I used Illamaqua’s Precision Ink in Havoc (burgundy). For mascara I used Maybelline’s Great Lash Lots of Lashes in Black. On the cheeks I used the new Dream Bouncy Blush in Candy Coral (peachy coral).
I do have a big gripe with the Dream Bouncy Blush. I went to use it and I tried it. It was difficult to use. I finally was able to build some up with my fingers after severaluses but then the silly blush collapsed! I don’t recommend this. So now I have a cute colored blush that is collapsed and that doesn’t really deposit any color. I may take it back to Walgreens. It was expensive too!!!! Has anyone else found this to be a problem?

Another Look With MAC Snowglobe Compact in Cool

I was so happy with the MAC Snowglobe Compact in Cool that I wanted to show another look I did.



Using the Snowglobe Cool Compact, I took Illegal Cargo (the light lavender) used it in the crease and under the eye close to the inner corner. Then I used Warm & Smoky (the shimmery blue) and used it on the outside of the lid and under the eye. I used the gorgeous Snowball (holographic white/green) on the lid and under the brow. For the liner I used Urban Decay’s liquid liner in Retrograde and MAC’s mascara in Opulash Black. My eyes look very open and the color of my eyes look very green today. Purple really does that to them.



On the cheeks I used Snowglobe Beauty Powder and on my lips I used a light brown liner with Double Spin Cremesheen lipstick. The colors in the compact are as follows: Snowball, Illegal Cargo, Idol Eyes, Wark and Smoky, Howzat and Set to Dance. For the swatches below I had to wet the first three to get them to show in the photo. The lipstick doesn’t show in the photo but looks great on my lips over liner.

 



 

The Snowglobe Compact (part of Ice Parade) is available at MAC counters and www.maccosmetics.com for $38.00. Double Spin (part of Glitter and Ice) lipstick is also available for $15.50. As mentioned before, this holiday collection is just great! I am so happy that I didn’t skip anything this year.

Let’s Get Naked. Naked lips that is…

Recently Urban Decay decided to expand on the popularity of their Naked palette by adding a few complementary colors to their line of cosmetics. Their Naked palette has been the most successful palette to this date. It’s no surprise really, considering how they managed to come out with so many beautiful, buttery neutral shades in one cute little velvety box.
The new products are: Naked Lipstick ($22.00), Naked 24/7 Glide On lip pencil ($18.00), the 27/7 Travel Set of 5 ($32.00) and Naked Lip Junkie Lip Gloss ($19.00). They are exclusive to Urban Decay. I previously reviewed the travel pencil set here, Urban Decay Holiday Sets, so I won’t go into that one again.



When I got the email for the Naked products all I was promised was: Get More Naked. Basically they wanted to expand the products to include some items that would look nice with the Naked palette. I thought, okay, sounds good to me! I am always on the search for the perfect lip liner. I have in my possession, probably 30 “naked” looking lip liners that I have been hoping will do the job. I like a light brown with just the slightest hint of pink. How hard is that?


I applied the Naked lip liner this morning and it looked very nice, pink with just the slightest hint of brown (and I mean just the slightest). I then applied the Naked lipstick, which is very creamy. Such a nice formula now! I haven’t used an Urban Decay lipstick in ages and their formula has changed a lot, it used to be very dry. One thing about the tube. It is difficult to open. The end of the tube is shaped as a knife. To open the tube one must pull hard on the knife. I think the design of the tube should be changed. The Naked color is very pink, it does not make my lips look “naked” at all. I have other colors that are much more suited for this. Then I tried the lip gloss. The color is exactly the same as the lipstick. I find that really nice. UD Lip Junkie is very sticky and has some peppermint in it, so when first applied it feels fresh. That freshness seems to last at least for a half an hour. The lip gloss is shimmery but not to the point that other people will feel blinded.

Overall, I am glad I purchased the three products. I really like the lip liner. Urban Decay makes great long wearing pencil products and this one is no exception. After taking the swatch photo, it took a lot of scrubbing to get the pencil off. Also, I love the formulas and color for the lipstick and gloss. Urban Decay seems to come out with winners more often than not every year. I am rarely disappointed with any of their products.
