5 lippies i'm loving right now...

you may have noticed that it's all about the lips right now. no matter your preference, it's summer, so experimenting is completely allowed. bright, glossy, bold, matte; neutral, pink, purple, orange, red

the following lippies are fabulous and i think you would love them as well. take a look...

City Lips
these lippies are a gloss-but-better {each is actually a treatment for your lips that you can wear anytime ~ including to bed ~ for added lip-pampering benefits}! they offer high shine without stickiness and a fuller-lip look without sting. i already have naturally full lips, so i don't really see much of a difference in the plumping department, but the high shine does offer a fabulous illusion. the smell and texture are truly beautiful and, unlike some glosses, these beauties never leave my pout dried out hours later.


Palladio Herbal Lip Lacquer
these bold, bright shades you see are amazing both in color and finish. the creamy texture keeps my lips smooth, glossy and they blend beautifully with other lip products. vitamin E helps to hydrate and protect from free-radical damage while coconut and sunflower oils aid in nourishing by forming a protective layer to prevent water loss in the delicate lip area.


NYC City Proof Twistable Intense Lip Color
not quite a lipstick, not quite a gloss, these creamy lippies have a pleasant, slightly vanilla scent that delivers a gorgeous color payoff. while these aren't super long-wearing, they last longer than typical glosses. i love that the color is buildable and the crayon form makes it easy to line the lips a bit before filling them in. 


Lacqa & Co Fat Lip Pencil
this smooth, buttery lip pencil is called Lambchop {pictured with one of the brand's nail polishes called Bobby Dazzler} and  it's an overachiever! it coats lips in stunning color like a lipstick and the finish is slightly matte; it's long-wearing and is the perfect pink to suits many skintones. i love the packaging, too. fyi, all LAQA & Co's packages are designed by up and coming designers, with a percentage of the product profits going directly to the artist. love it!


Essence Longlasting Lipstick
bright shades are definitely hot for summer, but i love a low-key look year round. these shades, Dare to Be Nude and Wear Berries! are great for grab-and-go application {no mirror required!}, feel fabulous and have been uber-pampering on my lips.


what lipsticks and glosses are you loving right now?

essence cosmetics 3D eyeshadow duos + stays no matter what collection

spring is a fabulous season, but kind of crazy if you think about it ~ the climate is completely different from state to state. it's sunny and warm here, but i have friends who are snowed in! in any case, it's still technically spring, so we should all be having fun with products in fun new shades, right?


as it turns out, essence cosmetics has released some ~ new 3D duo eyeshadows dare you to explore new dimensions and the STAYS no matter what collection wants you to revel in the ultimate staying power.

the 3D duo eyeshadows boast an ultra-light, high-coverage formula with a cool finish to create a most gorgeous, multi-dimensional effect.

from satin to metallic to shimmering, the six duos feature two perfectly aligned shades. colors include Irresistible Purr-ple, Irresistible Caramel CreamIrresistible Chocolates {pictured above}; Irresistible First Love, Irresistible Smoky Eye and Irresistible Mermaid Kiss {pictured below}; when applied with a wet brush, they offer even more intense results.   



the essence STAYS no matter what collection includes:
 24h waterproof volume mascara...
 24h waterproof eyeliner pen...
and waterproof eye pencil.

i've read some very positive reviews about the STAYS collection, so i'm definitely looking forward to trying them out when it really starts to heat up this summer!
