MAC Cyber Lipstick!

MAC Cyber Lipstick is a deep purple/black shade. It is supposed to be a satin but it feels more like a glaze to me. I find it will just smudge off so easily.
The Color is amazing and the way I wear it is do one layer then blot with a tissue, then do another layer again until I make a stain.
Then it does last amazing.

This lipstick can be very wearable if you keep the rest of the face minimal.
Maybe make it all about the lips and lashes.

You dont have to be gothic to wear a color like this. This can actually be made very chic and modern if you wear it like I said.

I would highly recommend this lipstick even tho I said it smudges, there is just no other shade ive found as gorgeous. So its worth it. Just make sure you wear it like a stain so it will stay put.

This lipstick costs around $15 and
You can find this lipstick at:

I also did a youtube video showing more pictures of the lipstick again up close with lip swatches:

Baby Lips by Maybelline! Review&Swatches!

Maybelline Baby Lips are one of the most popular lip products at the drugstore, and I can see why!
They have an amazing variety of shades. Some are more pigmented than others. The color does last a good while on the lips. They leave my lips feeling soft and moisturized. They don't wear off patchy, which I've found a lot of lip balms to do on me. They are definitely my favorite lip balm. I find myslef reaching for these when I don't know what I want to wear. They are so easy to wear, and heal your lips at the same time!
I think the best thing about them is their price, for only $2.97, for me, they are worth every penny. They do sell them in a 2 pack also, 2 for $5. (At Walmart and Target) That's how I bought two of mine.
If you do plan to pick one up, I want to say they can melt really easily, so make sure you keep them at room temperature. 

If you have any questions about them, feel free to ask me!

NARS Cactus Flower Cream blush! Swatch&Photos!

NARS Cactus Flower is this beautiful red shade that can also look pink when you apply it. It has this finely milled gold shimmer running through it. Seriosuly wow! This is very unique and one of NARS best blushes, in my opinion!
You get 5.5g of product for $29.
This is pricey but for a cream blush, the formula is really nice. The formula isn't too wet and not too dry. I feel like its that perfect medium.

This is a beautiful champagne color. It has a touch of gold and peachy undertones. It's shimmery but doesn't have glitter. The texture is so smooth. Its kinda pricey, but worth it because the formula is so good.

Tarte Tipsy Amazonian Clay 12hr Blush! Swatch&Photos!

Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in the Shade Tipsy.
This blush is the perfect pinky peach shade. It is so pigmented and one of the brightest shades ever. I mean Wow! I know I had to have this as soon as I saw it. Its gorgeous on and lasts a very long time on the skin. This blush is packed with vitamins, minerals, amazonian clay and beezwax. It has a Matte/Satin finish. It doesn't have shimmer, but it does have that glowing from within effect, which makes you look healthy. The packaging is nice, you can easily pop the pan out from the back if you want to put your blush in a pallet. Price is $26 and you get 5.6g/ 0.20 Oz., which is a good amount of product. Cruelty free♡
I highly recommend this blush and the shade Tipsy!
Let me know if this helps and which of the shades you recommend!

MAC Cockney lipstick. Lip swatch and photos!

MAC Cockney is a gorgeous red lipstick. There is a shimmer to this lipstick that is so pretty. I feel like it gives the lipstick something extra. It's a Lustre finish so it's easy to wear. Lustre means its goes on quite sheer. So you won't need a lip liner or worry about it bleeding.
Cockney has a yellow undertone to it, so if you have a yellow or olive undertone to your skin like i do, this will compliment that. If you have more of a blue undertone to your skin, blue undertone reds will compliment that. That doesn't mean you have to wear colors that compliment your skintone, I think Cockney would look great on everyone!
I have done some swatches below on my hand showing this built up and then another with it more sheer. So you can definitely build it up if you want to.  Take a look and let me know what you think! xxErika

MAC lipstick- Viva Glam V. Lip swatch!

This lipstick is a light brown with gold shimmer. It is a great everyday lipstick. It's absolutely gorgeous and has a Lustre finish. This is the perfect nude for me. It is seriously the best nude lipstick I have ever been able to find. It isn't too light. It goes with everything. I love wearing this with a smokey eye, or if i just want a natural look. The sparkle in it is so pretty. Its not over bearing. 

All the money you spend on the Viva Glam lipsticks go toward AIDS charity.

 I highly recommend this lipstick! Check out the Lip Swatches below!
