The Perfect Red Lip

A red lip is both beautiful and classic but many women forgo the shade altogether and opt for more muted or nude colors instead.  To be honest, I've never been drawn to the lip color choice myself until this past year which is saying a lot since I've been wearing makeup regularly for more than a decade.  Anyhow, below I have four red lip color choices that I feel will flatter basically any skin tone.  I think the shades are quite neutral so your skin tone being cool or warm makes little difference.

Mirenesse Lip Bomb in 2:  A medium toned, neutral red liquid lipstick with a glossy, opaque finish.  The texture of the lipstick is smooth and not sticky.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Amsterdam:  A medium toned, pinkish red with a matte finish that doesn't feel overly drying on the lips.

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Red Velvet:  A sheer but buildable, slightly brownish red shade with a glossy finish. This is a safe bet color for those that may be a bit hesitant to give a red lip a try because of the sheerer quality of the formula.

Rimmel Lasting Finish By Kate in 01:  A midtoned, neutral red with a soft satin finish.  This particular color and formula catapulted my love for a classy red lip!

Review: Coastal Scents Eyeshadow Sample Set 5 from October 2012 IPSY/MyGlam Bag

As a MyGlam subscriber for the past 11 months, I have to say that I have enjoyed the contents of every bag that I've received, even if certain products didn't work for me, the low price point make them worth a try.  A lot of the products are ones that I may not have chosen for myself and because of that I feel like I have been exposed to a wide variety of brands and categories. October's theme was "Hello, Bombshell" and the products I received in my bag fit the theme perfectly!

I received Coastal Scents Eyeshadow Sample Quad in Set 5.  These quads feature eyeshadows from Coastal Scents Hot Pot line, this particular quad featured the following colors:

-Vibrant Red - a matte, true red

-Frosty Taupe - a frosted, pale, greenish taupe color

-Raisin Berry - a shimmery, warm cranberry color

-Vanilla Sky - a shimmery, slightly off white color

Time for a Fresh, New, Start...

So here I am attempting to resurrect this blog and make posting on it a top priority.  I have such a backlog of pictures, products to review and NOTD's that I am definitely embarrassed that my last efforts were less than fruitful.  Expect to see regular postings in the extremely near future!  Thanks and Happy New Year!!!

I have nothing to disclose.
