Same lips, Diff chicks. #winteredition

Is it just me or is buying lipstick really hard? Its like a boxa' chocolate.. Ya never know what chur gonna get. Literally. The color it could be in the tube could be totally different than what it is on your lips. AND EVEN THE CRAZIER THING-- a lot of lipsticks look different on different skin tones. One of my favoriteeeeee bloggers did a post a while back check them out here. And I WAS OBSESSED, so I thought why not put my own spin on it! But, how do you know if you should take the leap and buy the lipstick? Cause, theres a lot of different ways it could turn out. But, I am here to help you. I thought I would put together some of my favorite fall lipsticks and then you can see what exactly they look like on different skin types, hair colors, eye colors, the whole shebang. 

Apparently, Russian Red wins! I loveeee the timeless look of a red lip. This lipstick is an amazing red especially because its blue based! Have you ever noticed when you wear red lips you feel like your teeth look yellow? With this lip that won't be the case! Thats because you're getting a warm based red, not a cool tone aka blue;) 

I hope this helped you on your fall and winter lipstick search! Let me know what your favorite color was in the comments! What do you usually go for? A red lip? A purple? Nude? Talk to you soon!

Its Friday, Friday, whats in your makeup bag on Friiiiiiiidayyyyy?

Sooo this past few week I have done ALOT and when I say ALOT I mean to much shopping. What comes with a lot of shopping is me having new favorites to talk about with you! I have been obsessing over some new products and some oldies but goodies so I thought I would obsess with you, seeing how my friends I think can only get so much of me ravvvving and ravvvving about how perfect this lipgloss is. Hehe;) I also got a new makeup bag as well but stay tuned to hear about that!

- First thing is that little gold tube! Thats YSL Babydoll Mascara. I got it at Sephora for $30. Yes, I agree that is STEEP for a mascara. But.... it is amazing. It is like you are always wearing false lashes. I have never seen anything like it. Another mascara in there is the Clinique bottom lash mascara! I think I need a little more time with this little baby because I forget about it a lot but it is an awesome invention I also got it at Sephora for $10. You can't beat that! Once I have more time with it I'll let you know the deets.

- NYX Powder Eyeliner and my Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette. Im talking about these two together because they are like Rose and Jack. (i.e the perfect couple) Ive been really into the smoked out eyeliner look Kylie Jenner did here. Its just very easy but looking like you didn't try to hard. Does that make sense? Lol. What I do is use the naked palette and put WOS over my whole lid and put Naked 2 and built up with Faint into my crease and outer corner. Then use the eyeliner above the lash line and below the bottom lashes and blend it all out with Naked 2 to make it really smoky. If you'd like to see a tutorial on that comment below! The Naked Basics is at Sephora for $28 and NYX Eyeliner you can get at Ulta but I can't find it on their website but its on the NYX site for $6.

- I have my essential Elf Eyeliner because you can never go wrong with a winged eyeliner! You can get that at your local Target or Elf.com for $1. Total steal!

- Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation-- I just got this over the weekend and love it. But, if you don't like a full coverage foundation this isn't for you. It is AWESOME though, for a full flawless face. It covers any imperfection. I got it from a counter for $35 and got this free makeup bag and a lot of other goodies!

- My holy grail product. Revlon Lipstick in Nude Attitude. It is the perfect nude and it goes perffffectly with my Buxom lipgloss in White Russian. I got the lipstick at my local drugstore for $6 and lipgloss at Sephora for $19.

- Macs Prolong Wear Concealer in NW20. This is the best concealer I have ever used! It is a perfect under eye concealer to really brighten it up and your bags go byeeee! I got it at Mac for $19. I also got my blush there as well in Stubborn. I really like this color for pretending its Spring! Hehe.

- Lastly the Anastasia Brow Pomade in Dark Brown. It is the BOMB.COM! The pomades texture makes its so easy to make natural looking brows and really mimic little hairs. It is the bees kneez. You can get it at Ulta right now for $18 in stores and you get a free brow wax to put on before as well! I highly recommend you to get your paws on this.


I hope this helped you all out and thought of some new products for Spring! I have tutorials coming up featuring all of them-- Keep on the look out  ♥

DARK LIPS- ROCK IT OR LEAVE IT?

Hi girlfriends-- So I need YOUR advice! The latest fall/winter trend has been a dark lip.. Very vampy  with a pretty basic eye-- Dark lips used to be only for punk rock type of looks but now its all over celebrities. Its very pretty! What are you thinking about this trend? Do you love it? or Leave it? Let me know in the comments below. Would you wear it?

What I used:

A black NYX jumbo eyeliner

Revlon Lipstick in Black Cherry

Urban Decay Lip Liner in Ozone

First I lined her lips with my Black NYX eyeliner and faded it in half way into the lip and blended it all with my ring finger so there was no harsh lines. Then I applied the lip stick and again blended it with my finger. Lastly, I applied Urban Decays clear liner all around the outside of the lip line to really lock in that color to make sure there is no feathering-- and BAM a dark vampy lip!

Again let me know what you think! Would you wear this for a night out? Or is it too much? If you recreate this look tag me on instagram @flowersinemilyshair  ♥ Talk to you girls soon!
