Vamped Up

I usually shy away from lipstick because I personally feel (my own insecurities) that I cannot pull the look off. I did come to the realization that I prefer matte shades over a glossier lipstick. This is Wet n Wild "'cherry bomb". I bought it on sale at Walgreen's for 99 cents (a steal) and decided to try it out. I've always been a fan of a vampy lip.

I started by applying a concealer to my lips for a base, and then lined and filled in my lips with a lip liner one shade darker than my lip color. I then applied the lipstick with my finger, pressing down like it was a stain. I applied one coat of a pressed foundation powder to my lips, and one more coat of lipstick. That is the best way I've found lipstick, especially of the more inexpensive variety, to have significantly more lasting power.

On my face, I am wearing revlon nearly naked, and benefit sugar bomb blush. I used the too faced chocolate bar on my eyes and finished with an essence mascara!

Color Club+Revlon Whimsical

I found Color Club Factory Girl in this store called Rue 21. I was super excited because it looks like a gorgeous color. Unfortunately the application is a total thick nightmare.

It's still a beautiful light blue creme, if you can handle the thick mess. It looks baby blue in the bottle but it's a little brighter than that. You can see the application on my fingers just didn't go so well. This is three coats with seche vite on top to hide some of the flaws.



After that I put Revlon Whimsical on top. I love Whimsical, it's such a delicate glitter, and the name is perfect.

Megan Miller Nail Art

Yesterday I showed you Megan Miller Velvet Lounge. Great eggplant purple, not so great with wear. I tried some 'flashy' (for me, anyway) tape nail art with it using Revlon Gold Coin.

Drugstore Week,Day 3: Revlon

Revlon is one of my favorite drugstore brands. Like Sally Hansen, they're really branching out in their nail polish lines and the quality is always improving. Prices range from 2.99-7.99 depending on where and what line you're purchasing.

Let's start with the stunner. My absolute omg-wtf-surprise-favorite:

Rain Forest

 

This is from the color stay nail enamel line that, I believe is supposed to work like a gel polish minus the UV light. Are you seeing this, people? -jaw drops- This gorgeous hunter green with beautiful green-gold sparkles is just too much to handle. I just...die when I wear this polish and I never want to take it off. It's beautiful and rich. The application is a dream in two coats. I just can't get over this polish. I think it would look beautiful on everyone - the color is cool enough and the glitter is warm enough. This color just makes me go "eeeeeee!" when I wear it. I feel like rowing down the Amazon or..eating a banana. This retails for 4.99-7.99.

Sheer Rose

 

As the name states, this is a sheer rose color. It is opaque in two coats, as seen above, but could use three as well. It's a beautiful, dainty, feminine neutral that I fell in love with the moment I put it on. It looks much more beautiful on the nail compared to the bottle. There is this very fine, subtle gold-pink glitter in here that puts a fun twist on neutral. This retails for 2.99-4.99.

Blue Mosaic

 

Hello awesome glitter! This is Blue Mosaic over Essie Go Overboard. Blue Mosaic is so much fun! It looks like a blizzard on my nails. There is blue and silver micro glitter and large aqua, green, and silver hexagons. If you do not have this polish you need it! It looks best over blues, whites, and black. It might look good over green as well but I have not tried.This also retails for 2.99-4.99.

Stormy

 

This is Revlon Stormy - my favorite grey! It's a deep grey, looks a little like asphalt sometimes. I love it because it's just grey, not greige, there's no obvious blue tones involved. It's just a straight up grey. It's classy and chic without the darkness of a black polish, and none of the effort a black polish takes, either.

I love Revlon. They're one of my favorite brands. If you don't own any of these colors I highly recommend you buy them. ESPECIALLY rain forest. -drools-. You get good quality and range for the price. Revlon is definitely top notch!

revlon gold coin

I bought this bottle with high expectations and a little bit of caution. Gold usually doesn't work well with my skin tone but it looked so pretty in the bottle I had to buy it. It also looked more cool-toned than a warm gold so I went for it.

 This is a really pretty gold color, the coverage is decent and this dries really quick and doesn't chip for anything. It's like foil on your nails! If you're looking for a gold but you have cool toned skin I highly recommend Revlon Gold Coin. It's a great color.

I just want to say hello to all the new followers as well - I'm happy to have you here and look forward to your input. :)
