Lips!

Hello there!

Today I would like to share with you 2 lips products which I am loving at the moment:

Wet n Wild Natural Wear Lip Shimmer in Maple, $1.99 at Walgreen's ($0.99 right now!)
Specs:
  • Approved by the Natural Products Association with the Natural Seal!
  • Natural conditioning formula infused with calming ingredients of vitamins and natural oils.
  • Nourishes lips with a hint of moisturizing color and shimmer.
Pics!
















































It has quite a lot of color, as you can see in comparison to my uber pale lips!, and it feels just like chapstick, maybe slightly more hydrating. If you're more of a lip balm girl but still want some color, I would highly recommend checking this out!! And this week, since Wet n Wild is all 50% off at Walgreens!!
(The only thing is: with it being so colored, you almost have to use a mirror to apply~)


Now, for the MOOD CHANGING GLOSS.
Whaat?! I know, it's super fun!!

Too Faced Mood Swing lip gloss, $18.50 at Sephora
(Pricey, but it was a gift from my awesome Brudder!!)
Specs as per Sephora.com:

What it is:
A selection of emotionally activated, shade-shifting lip glosses that blossom into a variety of pink shades.
What it does:
These emotionally activated glosses transform into a variety of pink shades depending on your mood! The formula contains a healing cocktail of Shea Butter, Jojoba Seed Oil, and Vitamin E, providing lips with instant hydration upon application.
What else you need to know:
Each gloss has its own long-lasting, yummy flavor.


LET'S SEE!!

(I have "Pink Shimmer" which has a blueberry '"long-lasting yummy" flavor, haha.)

Good size tube:




















Easy to use squeeze applicator:










It comes out blue-ish (this shade) but adjusts to your "mood":















Bare lips (sorry it's blurry)









First applying~ still a smidge blue:











After rubbing my lips together:











I LOVE THIS LIPGLOSS!!!!! I live in it, seriously. It adjusts to a great shade, just for YOU and it really has some color!! It also feels a-ma-zing on your lips, and really stay on.. obviously, being a gloss, it doens't stay too awfully long, but it actually leaves behind a bit of a pink stain, which is a plus!

Also-- the color adjust based on 1. The pH of your skin, so it's completely customized to you, ooh la la! and 2. Based on heat-- the more I rubbed my lips together, the pinker it became.

Check it~ at a wedding~ ONLY this gloss! (My mood must have been intense, check out that pink!! Haha!)























Both of these get my approval!!

What do you think? What products do you use on your lips??

Until next time--

Red: Part 4/4 -- Red eyes?! Again?? (NIGHT ELF!)

Hellloooo!!

So I saved the best for last =)

I FOUND WET 'N WILD'S NIGHT ELF PALETTE!!
*happy dance*

So um... if you're an avid reader in the beauty blogosphere, you'll know what I"m talking about, hehe.

Wet 'n Wild has some new little ColorIcon palettes for the holiday season, and one of the most coveted ones is called "Night Elf"~ the palettes retail for $4.99 and includes 6 shadows and 1 mini eyeliner.

Let's take a look!

**Warning!* Picture heavy post ahead!!**

Packaging:


























































(Forgot the eyeliner! It's black with little silver sparkles~)


Okay~ now I did this in 2 parts.
This is with the shades from the left side of the palette-- aka the "Tame" ones, lol.
Lightest shade on brow, medium on lid, darkest blended in crease~



















This look is actually really nice!! I've gotten lots of compliments every day I've worn this~ it's quickly become my "everyday" look, hehe.

Okay! Now the CRAZY looks~ lots of pics because I just think it's fun, hahaha---

Okay!
I just went with the look above and started adding colors....

+ Red:






















+ Red with the darkest "Tame" shade in the crease:






















With the black shade in the crease:























Black blended over red to subdue it a bit:

































Sassy face (and black added to lower lashline):























Okay! So you can probably guess from all of the pictures that I LOVE this palette, haha!!

The shadows are really great quality-- they look cheap as crap but once you play with them they are quite nice-- velvety and richly pigmented. SO great!! And the eyeliner is good, too-- really stays put.

Go get 'em!! Fun weekend goal ;) There's a really gorgeous plum palette, too. That's what I'll be doing this weekend!! =D

What do you think? Like the palette? Think you'll get it? And tell me what you think of that RED!

Until next time~
