Maybelline Color Whisper in Lust For Blush

 Okay the final verdict is in. I LOVE THESE LIPPIES!! I bought Maybelline Color Whisper in Go Nude a few weeks ago and really liked the color, texture and formula. You can see my full review here .

 I love coupons and I love that Target lets you stack coupons! I used 2 different coupons and ended up only paying $2.50 for this! Score!! I am going to have find more coupons because I have intentions of buying every single shade they make. I am addicted.

 Once again, the formula is PERFECT. It is so lightweight and as weird as it sounds, it feels GOOD on your lips. It makes rubbing your lips together an enjoyable experience. Good golly, that sounded bad but I am serious. I love how subtle the color is too. This one is pinker than Go Nude but still lends itself to the nude family in my opinion.

 Have you tried Maybelline Color Whisper? If so, what is your favorite shade? I swear, I need them all.

Nude Lip Fest!!

My awesome makeup friend Lisa sent me a goody bag filled with all the nude lippies!! She knows how much I love nude lips so she sent me a great assortment of new things to try!!

My favorites out of the bunch are MAC Lipglass in Emancipation and Lip Fusion in In The Flash. Emancipation is a perfect fleshy color with a nice shine. It is pretty sticky but I can overlook that because it is so pretty!! In The Flesh is a plumping formula. It smells/tastes fabulous. There is almost an orange essence to it. The texture is really nice and I am in love with the color. Thank you so much Lisa for sending these!! I will love them forever and ever!!

Lime Crime Velvetines

I am going to break up my Lime Crime haul from IMATS into a few parts. First up are the new Velvetines. I had seen a lot of promo pics of these and thought they looked nice but it wasn't until I seen the actual product on a friends lips that I was sold. I got both colors, Suedeberry and Red Velvet. I picked up Red Velvet at IMATS and Suedeberry later on. They retail for $16.99 and you can purchase them here . They are currently sold out and sell out pretty quickly when they are stocked so grab them when you can!

Lime Crime Suedeberry Velvetine

 The color is described as a strawberry red. It seemed to pull more orange on my skin tone than berry but regardless, I love it.

The actual product is called a gloss but personally I would not use that term only because it dries down to be the complete opposite of a gloss. This stuff is really cool. It applies liquid and creamy and dries to be totally matte and smudge proof.

Lime Crime Red Velvet Velvetine

 If you have tried OCC Lip Tars or NYX matte lip creams than you are familiar with the way they dry into a matte formula. I prefer the Velvetines, I am not the biggest fan of how runny and hard to apply OCC Lip Tars are and I completely hate the taste of the NYX matte lip creams. The Velvetines are a thicker formula that is easily applied with the doe foot applicator. They have no scent or flavor which is also a plus.

 I wore Red Velvet all day last Sunday. We went to brunch at a Mexican food restaurant. I can say that my lips looked just as good after countless bites of food, napkin wipes and drinks of champagne as they did when I first applied. There was no noticeable fading. I was pretty shocked.

After wearing Red Velvet all day my lips did feel quite dry. I normally apply lip balm throughout the day. This product is definitely not hydrating to the lips at all. I will note that it was windy that day and I drank a decent amount of champagne which also contributed to the dry lips.

Overall I have to say that I am in LOVE with this product. I rarely wear red lips mainly because I do not feel like I have found the right red but I feel like both of these shades are flattering on me. I also dislike wearing dark lips because of how they look as they wear off, the smearing and how it sometimes gets on your teeth. I didn't have to worry about any of those things with the Velvetines. I hope that Lime Crime comes out with more colors soon!! I am hooked!!

Have you tried the new Velvetines? If so, what did you think?

EDIT:  One of my friends who got Red Velvet told me hers wore all day long without reapplying. Woot! She also said hers smelled like a Vanilla Cupcake. My nose doesn't work too awesome because I can not really smell anything when I smell mine. I had a smell test with my kids and half could smell something, half could not. They all thought it smelled like chapstick so the jury it out. I just wanted to edit in case someone wanted a truly unscented product.

Moi Minerals Haul!

           I got my Moi Model package awhile ago and wanted to share some swatches and pics with you. Some of these products are not available yet but all should be ready for purchase around the beginning of July when the new website launches. Until then.....prepare to drool!

Gel Liners

New Blush!

               I Love Coral is AMAZING!! I really love Moi Minerals blush. It applies smoothly and blends really easily. These blushes are available now.  You get a 10 gram jar for $7.95

    Moi Minerals Black Out Collection. This collection is due to come when the new website launches but a few of them were released last month. Did you get one? First off I was not happy to get this in my model package because I usually hate pigments that are designed to be used over black bases. They never seem to be worth the hassle of the thick black base they require. The color shifts are never that intense etc. Well as I swatched this collection my mind was instantly changed. OMG these are so COOL!! I love Far Away, Shiner, Night Shift and Babylon with Shiner being my favorite. I am not in love with the golds only because golds are not really my thing.

Swatches in outdoor light

    Like I said above, I never liked these type of shadows so I have no real practice or experience using them so I decided to just go with a solid color on the lid and use Shiner. I was coming off of a week of wearing no makeup and boy did this make me feel good. The color is absolutely gorgeous!!

          I did a full Moi Minerals face! Shiner on the eyes, some of the new cream highlighter on my cheeks along with I Love Coral blush, a little of of the HD3 powder on my face and Naughty Nurse on my lips. 

            Later on in the day I wanted to spice up the look a bit so I pulled my hair back and added some Ben Nye lipstick.

       Here is a preview of some of the new lip products that will be coming soon! I love them all! So pretty and the formula is really nice. Not too thick or sticky!

Mally High Shine Liquid Lipstick Pen

                I received a box of goodies recently from the people who promote Sample Society. It was jam packed full of awesome products which I will post about in the coming weeks. If you have not heard about Sample Society you can click here. Memberships will be open in the coming weeks!

Mally High Shine Liquid Lipstick Pen in Fuzzy Navel

             I normally dislike these type of pens because the formula is thick and the applicators get so messy BUT this one is actually pretty nice. The formula is not too thick and the scent is amazing. I could sit here and sniff it all day long! This came in a pack of 3 but I passed two of the other colors along so I could see what my friends thought.

            This is another of those " my lips but better" shades for me. I really like it. I probably won't wear it as much as I would like because of the icky applicator but I hope to overcome my dislike for the plastic goopy brush thing soon.

              These Lipstick pens come in over 17 different shades and retails for $20 a tube. That is a bit pricey in my opinion but like I said, the formula and scent are really awesome. They remind me somewhat of a Stila lipgloss but with MUCH less stickiness.

           Have you tried any Mally products? If so, what is your favorite?

Sleek Pout Polish

               The girls in a makeup group I am usually do Sleek orders together to save in shipping. However, I am always broke when they order but I was able to pick up a new Pout Polish in one of their destashing sale. Two things you will notice, I buy the same color lippie over and over again just in different forms, sometimes gloss, sometimes lipstick, sometimes lip balm etc. You get the point. Second thing is I love buying in destashing sales and lucky for me I have a lot of makeup friends who like to destash!!

               I nabbed this beauty for only a few dollars. I meant to take a picture before I deflowered this with my finger but I forgot. Poo on me. Pout Polish is a tinted gloss that doubles are a nourishing lip balm and is enriched with jojoba, avocado, and sweet almond oil as well as SPF15. Good stuff my friends! I really love this stuff. I keep it on top of my vanity and use it daily. Pout Polish is $6.50 and comes in quite a few shades BUT Sleek is a United Kingdom based company so shipping can be pricey. They do offer free shipping codes every now and again so keep your eyes peeled!!

Milani Crystal Gloss

    As you know I have a new found love, It is Milani! The brand is so awesome and I love that it is available at Target. I actually picked these up in one of my friends de-stash sales. I paid around $5 for the 3 which is a good deal considering they retail for over $5 each.

           I took the wrapper off of this one and the name wasn't printed on the cap so I am unsure what color it is but I THINK it is Pucker Up. The gloss formula was nice, sticky but not too sticky. Had a pleasant smell and applied nicely.

          This color barely showed up on my lips but it is definitely a my lips but better shade for me.

   

Fruit Punch

                The name alone on this gloss makes it fabulous. I love it! This is a super pretty pink gloss. I am slowly opening myself up to lip colors. This gloss is a nice bridge between nude and total impact! Don't ya think?

Raspberry Icing

             Gah!! Why do they have to have such yummy names!! This gloss was the boldest out of the three. I have quite a few hot pink lippies in my collection now and this falls into that category for sure. This one will get the least amount of use because it is a bit bold for me.

               Overall I really liked these gloss. They are smaller than the other Miliani glosses I own coming in at 0.17 oz. They come in many different finishes such as cream, frost, shimmer, glitter and pearl and are available in over 15 colors! Have you tried these glosses? If so, what did you think?
