Fall Beauty BOMBS (Lipsticks)

Hey everyone! Here are a few of my favorite lippies I wear for fall. They are all drugstore!! No need to break the bank for FAB lips. I also think a couple of these are dupes for higher end lipsticks.

These first batch are are Milani, and Revlon. 


The first one is called Milani Lip Flash in 02 News Flash. It is this beautiful dark plum purple with shimmer. This is a full coverage gloss pencil. It's smooth and glides on like a gloss, but isn't sticky like one. This will look good on most skin tones. The only cons I see is that you have to sharpen it, and the staying power is like a regular lipstick. 

The second one is Revlon Color burst  Matte Balm in 215 Shameless. These are tried and true, and have a ton of reviews everywhere. This is a straight up matte purple and a must have for any purple lipstick loving makeup junkie. I have a light/medium skin tone and it looks great. This does stain your lips, so if you don't like that I wouldn't say run and grab this if you're not a fan of that.

The third one is a Revlon Lipstick in 10 plum. This is a creamy burgundy plum color. It has no shimmer and a normal amount of shine.This will be one of the ones that will go with every outfit, and makeup look. You can apply a light coat or build it up to make it stand out. I'm not too sure if they still make this (I got it on sale) so if you can find it, grab it. 

The forth one is Milani Blackcherry 11. It's in the old packaging, but I know they still have this color. This color is not for everyone. In the tube it looks black, but when you swatch it, it is a deep red plum. You can keep this light, or build it up and make it look almost black on your lips. It's smooth and creamy, and glides on with ease. This is another that could stain your lips, but its a pinky stain so it wont be so bad. I love wearing this with light natural eyes. 

The next three are from Wet N Wild mega last line so at $2 a pop you cant beat these. The color pay off is some of the best on the market. 


The first one is 919B Vamp it Up. For a matte lipstick this glides on like cream. It is a black purple lipstick. This lipstick won't be for everybody, but for the price it doesn't hurt to give it a go. It doesn't stain your lips. This does collect to my dry patches on my lips, so make sure prep before wearing this if you have dry lips.

The second one is 908C Sugar Plum Fairy. It is the perfect pinky plum for Fall. It looks a lot deeper in the tube, but don't be scared! This will look good on all skin tones. It doesn't stick to my dry patches like some of the other WnW lippies do. It makes your teeth look SOO white. This one is always out of stock at my drugstores, so if you can find this pick it up.

The third one is 907C Mauve Outta Here. This is a pinky rose mauve shade. If you don't like dark colors this one will be for you. This one is one that is a bit drying on my lips, so just prep with a chap stick before hand. This color goes great with every eye look, and doesn't stain your lips. This will be a great natural fall lippie.

The last three are from Covergirl Queen collection. These are creamy formula, that goes on with ease.



The first one is 308 Ravish. This is a brownish natural color. It has no shimmers and is so smooth when you put it on your lips. I'm not a fan of the smell, but  you can't smell it once it is on your lips.  The color pay off is great, and this will look great on all skin tones.

The second is 323 Delicious. This is a nude mauve pink cream shade. The smell on this one is not as bad as the one as above. This is another of the everyday  fall shades. The color pay off is opaque, and will look more pink or more nude depending on your skin tone.

The last one is 330 Divine. It is a cream purple with pink under tones. You can wear this color light or build it up. It looks great either way. You can probably find this shade in a lot of brands so don't be disappointed if you can't find this one. 

All in all these lipsticks are some of the best. They are all opaque, and all under $10. I hope you enjoyed this read, and I hope it helped you find some new lippies.

Dollar Tree Mini Haul *Limited Edition Items* 9/12/14

Yes, Yes, Yes, I can't stay away! LOL



This is a pretty moss green with glitter flecks in it. It has a sorta glittery sheen look to it in the bottle. Looks great with a shiny top coat. I'm not a fan of the matte finish with this color because you can't really see the glitter. This polish only needs 2 coats, and dries pretty quickly. This will be a great fall color, and looks good on any skin tone.



This one is by far my favorite. It is a cream pinky, purple color with glitter flecks. It also has a matte finish. This takes 2 coats and you are good to go. This one doesn't need a top coat to see the glitters in it, but they do not shine through without one either. This is also a great fall color that will go with many skin tones. This applies a little streaky, but dries down just fine. 




I saw these nail stickers just laying on the bottom shelf. I've seen these in a few hauls and thought I would go through and pick a couple up. You can kinda see the black one, its all back with shine and matte zebra print. I thought these would make a great Christmas gift. So if you see some in your DT, pick them up because they will go quickly. 


I really just picked this up to add to above Christmas gift. These liners are one of the best, and I'm sad to see them leave the market. The blue is probably my favorite shade. You can't beat it for a buck. They last all day, and don't smudge. I wear contacts, and they don't bother my eyes either. So if you still see some I would grab them. They are great to just put in a Christmas stocking and go.

City Color INTENSE Blush Quad

I was walking through the store and saw this little bad boy last week.
I received my first city color blush in an Ipsy bag. It was matte, had amazing color pay off, and was huge. I must admit I didn't expect the same from the shimmer ones. You know how companies are, they skimp on quality when they give you quantity. Well that isn't the case here.
These blushes are smooth like butter with little fall out. The color pay off is out of this world, and they are not over the top shimmer when you apply them to your cheeks.  A little does go a long way!

 The packaging is lacking, but I'm not going to complain for $4. 


The top four swatches are from a brush, yes a plain ol blending brush.
The bottom four are from my fingers just lightly tapping in the blush.

This is the second blush quad. The first one was more pink tone's. My favorite by far are the bronze shade and the light orange color. This is a must have for any makeup loving girl.
