10 Best Drugstore Lipsticks❤

Hey Dolls!HAPPY NEW YEAR to each of you!I hope you’re all enjoying 2013 so far!There’s so much I’m grateful for and I hope you beauts take nothing for granted.I’ve really been loving the new beauty products the cosmetics companies are putting out lately.Trying my best to explore and review as many new products as I can so keep an eye out for a lot of upcoming product reviews on the site.Gosh….ever since putting up my 10 BEST DRUGSTORE MASCARAS,it’s been highly requested of me to do a post on my “10 best drugstore lipsticks”.So sorry it took a while but I’m really excited that I’m finally able to share this with you all…..thanks for being so patient❤

Here are 10 lippies that aren’t just pwetty and gorgeous on the lips but the shade range is suitable for all skin-tones as well.

Selection of neutral shades(for when you want a more natural look to blend with your makeup)to bold/bright shades(for dramatic and colorful looks)

L-R

Loreal’s Fairest Nude(800),Maybelline Warm Me Up(235),Maybelline Make Me Pink(135),Cover Girl’s Divine(330),Revlon’s Berry Haute(660),Revlon’s Primrose(668),Essence Creamy Nude(50),Rimmel Bordeaux(124),Wet n Wild Sugar Plum Fairy(908C),Wet n Wild Dollhouse Pink(967)

I’m not sure if you can tell from the swatches but the above lipsticks are all creamy and apply smoothly.The color payoff is Ah-mazing and they moisturize the lips very well.For the record,the bold colors are more long-lasting than the nudey(is that even a word?haha)ones and most of them can totally be worn on their own,topped with a gloss or paired with a lip-liner.(The Maybelline lipsticks seem to have shimmer in them when swatched but trust me they are not shimmery at all.They go on smooth and don’t dry out your lips either)You can get these lipsticks at most drugstores but Wet n Wild can be found at Walmart if you’re in Canada or you can order directly from their website.

QUICK TIPS:

—Always moisturize/exfoliate lips before applying lipsticks.Using a lip primer is a matter of personal preference but it prevents lipsticks from fading/ feathering.

 

—For more color payoff, you can layer lipsticks and blot with tissue.This prevents getting lipstick on your teeth and also helps it  last longer.

 

—Nude your lips out with concealer before applying lipstick so it brings out the true color of the lipstick especially if your lips are pigmented.This method can be used to tone down a bright color as well.

 

—If you’d like to tone down the color of a bright lipstick,you can do so by applying a nude lipstick or gloss over it.


—You can use a brighter/deeper lipstick shade like Rimmel’s Bordeaux and WnW Dollhouse Pink as cream blushes by swiping some color from the lipstick onto your index finger and applying to your cheeks making sure to blend out.(You can set it after with a powder blush if you want) Don’t forget to use clean fingers though:-0


—-Don’t sleep on lip brushes as they help to evenly distribute lipstick with no harsh lines.

Hope this was helpful dolls….

Until next time….take care=]]

July Favourites❤

Hey Dolls!!! There are so many things I’m loving this summer but I’ve narrowed it down to the few goodies below for the month of July.I still can’t believe it’s August already!I don’t want summer to come to an end:( Nonetheless,I hope some of you will give the products mentioned a try because they are bomb! *Laughs*

Dove Dry Invigorating Shampoo:Since I don’t wash my hair everyday,I use this dry shampoo to refresh my hair and keep it clean between washes.Makes my hair feel fresh and it smells so good!I only wish you’re not left with an empty bottle after a couple of sprays. There doesn’t seem to be much product in the bottle…C’monnn DOVE…

Freeman Facial Clay Mask(Mint & Lemon):I recently got this at Walmart and  I love it so far.It’s a cheaper alternative to Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque(Review Here)which I live and swear by.The mask feels really good on and it helps shrink pores.Thanks to this product,I noticed my T-zone hasn’t been as oily.Great masque and highly recommend…Its under $3.00 too.

Korres Pomegranate Toner:This has got to be one of the best facial toners Ive tried.I really really really like it.It feels so gentle on the skin and removes excess dirt and oil after cleansing.I use this toner before applying moisturizer to refresh my skin.Overall my skin has cleared up a lot and I haven’t broken out at all.

MAC Boy Bait Cremesheen Glass: I’m not sure what  took me so long to get this perfect pinkish nude gloss but I haven’t been able to put it away since purchasing it.Its such a relief to carry around a gloss that goes so well over my pink and nude lipsticks and doesn’t stick on my lips.It looks so pretty on when worn alone as well.

Wet n Wild  Mega Last Lip Color in (968)Pinkerbell and (967)Dollhouse Pink: Ive been completely obsessing over these two lip shades! They are both gorgeous and super opaque!Pinkerbell is a pretty coral pink shade (sorry ladies.. my lighting makes the swatch look more on the pink side)and Dollouse Pink is a medium toned baby pink that’s almost comparable to MAC St.Germain.I wish the packaging wasn’t so cheap looking though and the formula can be drying on the lips so make sure to moisturize those lips well before applying.The price is amazing!

L’Oreal True Match Lumi Healthy Luminous Makeup: This foundation is quite new from L’Oreal.It has SPF of 20,provides moderate coverage and leaves your face looking all glowy! Its been my fave summer foundation and I love how it blends into the skin.If youre looking for something with a nice natural finish definitely check this out.My shade is Cocoa(c7-8).By the way,I’m glad there’s a shade for dark-skinned women as most drugstore foundations have a limited shade range.Kudos L’Oreal=)

Doll Notes:I hope you ladies enjoyed this post.Follow me on FACEBOOK to take part in my upcoming Give-Away!! Thanks!

March Faves❤

Hello-hello!! It’s monthly fave time again!Woohoo!!!Hope you all had a wonderful month~I’m sooo looking forward to summer now and wish it was just a day away….*sigh* guess I just have to be patient huh….Here are some few goodies I enjoyed using this month:

MAC Fix+:  I don’t use this often and forgot what a great finishing mist it is.Sets makeup and makes it last all day.Also,if you have too much foundation on and end up with the cakey look,use this sparingly to break the foundation down and your face will have that dewy glow/finish. 

Ardell Brow Sculpting Gel:My brows have been a bit untamed lately and as such we are not on good terms :-) .Glad I came across an old fave:Ardell Brow Sculpting Gel when I was rummaging through my stash.I love re-discovering old loves I’ve forgotten about. I guess that’s what you get for having too much makeup lol.This brow gel is easy to apply and keeps brows in place all day.I mainly use brow pencils to fill in my brows and they look neat and perfectly groomed when I’m done.

W’n'W Dollhouse Pink Mega Last Lipstick

A new shade that came out recently and of course I had to get my hands on it ‘cos y’all know my lips+pink hues get along very well:)The shade is a gorgeous bubblegum pink and it’s seriously very pigmented with a great staying power as well.Like all Wet n Wild products, it’s inexpensive but never fails to “deliver”.You can get this at Walmart.

LUSH Bubblegum Lip Scrub:A sweet flavoured lip scrub from LUSH that makes your lips soft and smooth after use.Sometimes,I find myself licking off the product before I even use it since it tastes so good..haha(#confession)It’s great for buffing off dry and chapped lips.Not the best lip scrub I’ve tried/used but still a good product.

Doll Notes:These were the products I reached for and used the most in March.Haven’t been buying much makeup lately…What are some of your current beauty loves?
