Girls Meets Myth...

Ladies and Gents, it is my pleasure to introduce a very near and dear, new friend of mine, Myth. It is this girl's best friend, and I've got a couple reasons why you should think so too.

Ok so maybe the intro was a bit over done, but if this lipstick is a stranger to your makeup collection, then I would suggest you get to a MAC counter and get it, now!

Yes girls it really is my best companion in my collection at the moment.
So you ask, what is so great about Myth..? Well here are a few reasons to love it-

1. Yes it is a thicker and more drying texture(when compared to Creme d' Nude), but this is actually nice for a change. I feel like my lips look much more natural, like the added gloss in "d'nude", and its pinky-ish undertones make my lips look rather made up.

2. Also I loved how little product is needed in order to get desired look, full and natural coverage. Yes I would imagine if you were to lather this on, well you might have concealer lips, but really all it takes is one swipe, then smack them lips together and you got a sexy, "I didn't put on makeup"-look.

3. Lastly I found that "d'nude" tends to slide off of my lips, and while it is moisturizing, it has a difficult time staying in place, therefore requiring often re-application(well that may be my OCD).

This is Myth against my hand...eerily similar in color don't ya think?


None the less I am fully in love with this lipstick, and it cracks me up thinking that I was scared of concealer lips, because with moderation Myth can be absolutely beautiful.
And I felt that it was time for you all to see my face, in more than just the profile pic, and sorry for the lame-esque feel of it, shall we say...cam whore time?


You might not be able to see but I am sporting my new beanie, and of coarse I needed to listen to my Ipod; it was the inspiration behind the smile :)

And I would proudly like to reveal that I have stopped my self tanning routine, it has been a whole week now...and I am actually quite satisfied, though I refuse to give up my bronzer!

I would love to hear what anyone thinks of Myth, and what Lipglasses would pair well with it...'til next time stay fab!

Nude lip Combo

I may have found some good bright lip combinations, but I never fail to fall back on my nude lips routine. And the best combo I have found yet has to be Creme d' Nude(MAC) and Shy(Very Sexy, Victoria's Secret). A bit of concealer first to lighten my lips, then Shy, and top it off with Creme d' Nude, makes me a very happy girl.


That's all for now, but check out how much Creme d' Nude is left...this is fully extended...lol

Bye Beauties!

NYX Round Lippies Arrived!!

Sorry for the break, but I have a NYX round lipstick haul for ya'll! So unfortunately I was pretty disappointed when I saw that some of the colors I ordered were not very neutral, as I had expected them to be. So here they are from left to right:


Rea, Baby Pink, Aphrodite, B52, Femme, Rose, Chloe, Peach


So I was played, oh how was I fooled into getting these colors. The ones towards the left, which are more neutral, are alot brighter than they looked on the website, unfortunately I assumed that the website swatches were accurate. Well they aren't. So I figure that this was a great chance to try out colors that I would not spend the money on otherwise(like at MAC), but thankfully these were only 2 dollars each.

My new favorite colors are actually quite surprising though, Femme and Rose, which are extremely close in color, so much that it is hard to see any difference at all.

The difference though is that Femme has a more orange base color, while Rose is more bright pink. When I wear these together I get a very bright and fun look, I'm so loving it at the moment. And as a close second, I like Baby Pink(light lavender) and Aphrodite(deep berry) just because I would have never bought these colors, and I most definitely do not have any dupes for these in my collection.

The color that I will probably never use has to be Rea. This is the very first color on the left, and it is a very chalky taupe color. When I put this on my lips it was awful, not a good match for my skin, and for a nude color, I have to say I'm not impressed.

I'm still deciding what I think of Chloe(bright fuchsia), but I respect this color as something i could use for only specific occasions, like a party or anything that calls for some craziness!

And as for peach, well that color is kind of useless to me, it's a bit too mundane while brighter than what I would use everyday. So while I like it in the tube, I don't see myself putting this one on anytime soon.

Now since this was the second time I ventured outside MAC for lipsticks, I have to say, MAC is always the better choice when it comes to quality. No duh..huh? I understood that the quality would be cheaper, so I'm completely fine, in fact I like having cheaper lipsticks to mess around with, but when it comes to application, formula, color and stay-ability(sorry for lack of other words), MAC is still my number one.

As for the haul, I enjoyed this because it was like Christmas, I had no idea what I was gonna get, and indeed I was surprised. If your interested in trying NYX I would suggest you look at Lollipop26's blog for a better and more wearable selection of round lipsticks.

Have a great weekend Beauties!

Top 6 Lip Fave's

Was not tagged, but here it is anyways, my top 6 lip favourites. Now that I have started to experiement with my lip purchases, and branched from lipgloss to lipstick, this might be a bit difficult to stick with only six.

1. Creme d' Nude is for sure one lip fave

2. I will have to go with Sugarrimmed Dazzleglass because of the amazing taste, texture and of course the sparkles.

3. Also I enjoy Quiet, Please and its identical twin, the Heidi klum (le) lipstick(below) in Malibu(this one has the sparkles on the outside that's the only difference). These are lusters and when paired with a lipglass or dazzleglass, they look amazing.





4. Next is Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Moisturizing lipstick in Shy. This is always in my purse as well because it is a natural nude color for my lips, and very moisturizing (like I wrote in an earlier post, it reminds me of Cremesheens).


5. My newest addition- Hot Gossip (cremesheen), so so pretty ;)

6. Sugar Lip treatment by Fresh Cosmetics; this product is so popular, and for good reason. It is the best lip balm I've tried, and though its a bit on the expensive side, 22 dollars, it has lasted me a long time.

Have a beautiful day, and stay fab!

Cremesheens Perm!

Okay ladies, we so have to give it up for MAC...Just when I thought I was going to run out of my Creme d' Nude without a backup, MAC had to go and make Cremesheen apart of the permanent line. I don't know about the rest of you, but this is like better than Christmas morning, and the only thing left to do is go back to the counter to check out the other cremesheen lippies.

Right after I bought Creme d' Nude I absolutely fell in love with this lipstick, the colour, the texture, and mostly it wasn't drying out my lips like some others would. So I considered going back to pick up at least one more of Creme d' Nude, and ya know what, I couldn't. Other things in my life took priority (yay for me, at least I have been known to show restraint), and I just figured I would keep an eye out for another just like it. And from swatching other MAC nude lipsticks recently, I don't believe they have another one quite like it.

So what am I trying to spit out? I'm so freaking excited right now, MAC just made me the happiest girl this side of the Mississippi. Since I Aced a Poli sci test this week, I felt it was my perogative to go get a lipstick, and do it guilt free. So I have started looking at the other colours; and I started with Hot Gossip. This one is so pretty, as described on MACcosmetics.com, it is a "Mid-tone pinky plum". This colour actually was a tiny bit brighter than my natural lip pigmentation.

Hot Gossip, isn't it gawrgous!

Here is what's left of my Creme d' Nude




Right now I am debating between Speak Louder(clean poppy blue pink), Fanfare(mid-tone yellow pink), Speed Dial(light blue pink), and Crosswires(clean pinky orange).
So if anyone has these I would love to hear what you think of the colors.
