Makeup MAYhem Day 30: Top 5 Favorite Lipglosses of the Moment

Hello Stars! We're nearing the end of Makeup MAYhem and for the last blog post of MAYhem, I decided to show you my top 5 favorite lipglosses.  If you're curious, keep reading and I hope you enjoy!

Makeup MAYhem Day 6: Spa Day!

 On your day of pampering, you need a comfy robe to start things off and then a nice cup of tea- preferably peppermint (not pictured).  As you sit and sip your tea and watch your favorite show, put on your favorite mask- I would suggest the Anti Stress Mask with Dead Sea Minerals which you can find at Ulta, Target, Wallgreens, Wal-mart, or Rite Aid.  You want to be fully relaxed on your 'treat yourself' day.

While you let your mask set, now is the time to get into a nice relaxing bath (or a nice hot shower if you don't have a bath) and take a bath bomb or bubble bar or bubble soap or essential oils and put them into your bath or shower and enjoy the relaxation they promote.  I prefer to use one of my Lush products, pictured below is the Sunnyside Bubble Bar [beware of the glitter that comes with Lush].

Then climb into your comfy clothes, my choice being an oversized shirt and my Boji yoga pants and now it's time to paint your nails!

For my nails I used the Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy (I don't know WHY but I did) in the color Lady Luck.  This is far from my favorite nail polish, stay tuned for a post about why.  In order to make sure my mani would stay past dinner, I used the Orly Bonder base coat and a Diamond Shield top coat, along with the top coat provided.  Providing this result:

The final step in my pampering day, besides cuddling with my pup and watching a movie, is to give your lips a good scrub with a bought or home made lip scrub, followed by applying a thick layer of carmex or vaseline lip therapy to really keep your lips nice and smooth and feeling great!

I  hope you enjoyed my Spa Day, what do you do on your spa days? Do you enjoy relaxing in a robe or are you the type of person who has to be dressed and doing something even when you are relaxing? I'd love to know! XOXO

BE BOLD, BE BEAUTIFUL, BE YOU!

NEW Revlon Ultra HD Lip Lacquers: REVIEW

I picked up three colors of Revlon's new lip lacquers called the Ultra HD Lacquers from Ulta and I couldn't be more happy with my selection of colors and of the consistency of these lip glosses.  They have a painters brush instead of a doe foot applicator, which I find as a nice change.  I find that with the paint brush applicator I get more precision and can outline my lips easier than with a doe foot applicator.  Another nice thing is that it's not super sticky or tacky, it just glides on and doesn't  take a lot of effort.  My favorite color out of the ones that I purchased is Garnet which is the darkest color in the picture.  They definitely live up to the Ultra HD title.  These lip glosses are highly pigmented and are true to the color you see in the tube. They also have lipsticks in the same line but I haven't tried them yet.  Have you tried these? What do you think of them? XOXO

Spotlight: Revlon Chubby Sticks

It's no surprise that I love the Revlon 'chubby stick' collection, and I wanted to shine the series spotlight on them today so let's get started!

Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy nail polish: REVIEW!

A few weeks ago, I was in Target and finally after hemming and hawing over getting this polish and that day I finally broke down and bought one color and the top coat.

Top 5 Pink Lip Products

As most people are aware, I love pink lip products because they bring such a fresh look to someone's face.  It helps to brighten complexions, accentuate a smile, anything.  Sometimes these products can do double duty as a lop product and a blush (when in a hurry).  So here are my top five pink lip products, enjoy!

My Top 5 Red Lip Products

Hello, friends! I hope you are having a safe and happy summer (if it is summer where you live).  The best thing about warm weather is that you can get away with wearing a bright lip.  Today, I'm going to share with you what my top five favorite red lip products are.

All of the lip products!

Today I went through all of my lip products, and I want to show you my collection.  Now, before I get some nasty comments, I do use all of these products and I rotate them in my case daily so each one gets equal love.

To start I figured I would use the thing that I have the smallest amount of- lip stains, lip/cheek stains.  One is the popular Posie Tint by Benefit, which I absolutely love. Then this Stainiac lip stain, it's a pretty color but I haven't figured out how to wear it so it's complimentary to my skin tone.

Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain: Review

I love Revlon products, because they always have a great range of lip colors and they hold my favorite drugstore brand foundation.  The last time I went into the drugstore these beauties were on sale for buy one get one half off, and I have been wanting to try them since they came out, so I figured why in the world not?

Revlon Photoready eyeshadow in Impressionist: Review!

I don't usually go for the mini eyeshadow palettes in the store because I can just as easily create the colors with a larger palette that I already own.  But when I saw this palette, I couldn't get my mind off of it so I finally broke down and bought it.  What did I purchase? The Revlon Photoready eyeshadow palette in 505 'Impressionist'.

The Wedding Series: Rose Garden

I'm back with another wedding related post for my Wedding Series.  This look was built around the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette, which is all rose gold hued colors which I believe will look gorgeous on a wedding day.
Again, let's start with a blank canvas with just toner and moisturizer on.

The Wedding Series: Au Natural

The next few days is going to be dedicated to good wedding looks for the bride as well as for the guests.  I chose to do this series because summer is a big wedding season.  This first look is inspired by the natural beauty that is inside the bride and allows her natural features show through, so I kept it light and airy with a neutral color palette. Enjoy!

Here we have a very bare faced me, so you have an idea as to what I'm working with.

The Bold, the Trendy, and the Natural

Since my spending ban started, I had been wanting to try the new orange lip phase (the trendy), a new red lipgloss or stick of some sort (the bold), and a sheer natural pink shade (the natural).  I picked these up at CVS while waiting to pick up my prescription.
