Let's talk Holy Grails for a bit...................

Holy Grail definition in the makeup world: A product that you have purchased more than once. :)

Any makeup beauty blogger will tell you that if they buy the same product twice then it's pretty "golden" or a rare find because if it's worth buying twice, it's probably really good. So I have found my first two Holy Grail products that happen to be lipstick and both by Loreal. (My favorite mascara is Loreal too but we'll talk about that another time or just look through my other blog posts to read about that). I'm always trying to find the perfect nude color that will make any eye look that I may try and I've finally found 2 of them! I'm still on the hunt for more so my search doesn't stop but I knew when I found myself buying these two for the second time that there was something to be said about them.

Both of them I feel exactly the same about so let's get started:

When I first applied these lipsticks I couldn't believe how creamy and easy they went on my lips! They don't dry out or crease into your lips or anything! If you apply a lip primer, blot and apply again, they last all day! (Even without a lip primer they last a very long time) These colors look amazing with a deep smokey eye or a very earthy natural eye. I can't get over how perfect they are! They don't have a wax like feel to them and the tubes last a long time. They even have a nice smell to them and a hint of flavor. :) It's nothing like fruity or anything like that just a nice clean cosmetic type smell/taste....you will just have to buy it to see what I mean. :)

Here is the picture of the Beige 809 color. This color has more of a brown base to it so it's not shimmery girly pink or anything, just a nice muted matte pink. SOOOO pretty right???

 And then here is the second one which is Gilded Pink 108. This color is more girly pinky pink with a hint of golden undertones. I love to wear this when I have very smoked out eyes that way my lips aren't taking attention away from my eyes but I still have that nice pretty clean look.

These two lipsticks are by far my must haves wherever I go. They stay in my purse at all times. Let me know if you have these colors or if you go out and get them,  I'd love to hear from ya! I give these lipsticks a 5 out of 5 and will for sure buy them again!

Be blessed beauties!

FAVORITE PINK LIPGLOSS EVER!!!!!!!!

This past weekend my husband and I went on a date and our first stop was the mall because we had some things that we needed to pick up. On the way out I remembered that I had $3.50 off coupon to ULTA so I convinced him to stop in (which didn't take much because he's such a good hubby). :) I wanted to get the NYX lip gloss in Beige that so many people rave about and wouldn't you know it, there was one left! (Also right now you can get two NYX lip glosses for $8). I love love love this lip gloss. There isn't anything bad to say about it. It is such a perfect pink, not too light or dark, not too shimmery or sticky, just perfect! It goes on so smooth and lasts quite some time for a lip gloss.

It makes your lips feel so soft too and don't get me started on the taste! YUMMY! This gloss is perfect for tweens, teens, adults, and grannies too! You won't regret buying this gloss and like I said if you head to Ulta (in Mishawaka I don't know about anywhere else) right now they have 2 for $8 which is a great deal because one is $5.49.

Here is a picture I found online that shows how pretty this gloss can be with lip liner (little blurry but you can see the color):

I have no idea why they called it Beige because it's clearly pink but I guess that name wouldn't do. :) You can use this over other lip colors too and it's just as pretty.

Let me know if you have this or try it!

Be Blessed Beauties!!



Pretty Pink Stained lips....so sweet!

Do you want that perfect pink stained lip that will last all day long without spending lots o money for it? Well go to your kitchen and get some cherry jello...yep that's right cherry jello. All you do is take a damp Q-tip and stick it in the jello packet, apply it to your moist lips, leave on for 5 minutes and then lick off (Yummy). Once you've got all the powder off, apply your favorite pink or clear lip gloss and you have the perfect pink stained lips that won't kiss off! You can always apply your favorite  light pink or nude lip liner before the powder if you'd like (as long as you don't lick it off) :)

You can also try other "colors" or flavors if you want to be creative!

Let me know if you try this out!!

Be blessed beauties!!

Lip Scrub

With summer coming you want to be sure that your lips will be ready for those bronze glosses that are coming out so get ready for a sweet scrub! Nobody wants to see dry cracked lips under shiny gloss..yucky. So here is a quick sugar scrub that will exfoliate your lips and get them smoother than a baby's bottom. :)

You will need:

• Sugar
• Vitamin E oil

Just mix the two together and gently rub it on your lips, back and forth for about 1 minute. Vitamin E oil is great for your skin for anti aging and also a great moisturizer so if it gets on your face, awesome! Embrace it and rub it in! :)

Once you've rubbed the scrub, rinse it off with water (room temp is fine) or with a damp cloth and then reapply the vitamin E oil. I do this before I go to bed and in the morning my lips feel smooth and amazing and my lipsticks and glosses go on soooo much better!

Let me know what you think about this scrub!

Be blessed!
