My Lip Gloss is ColourPop-ing

Hey Guys,

If you are like me, then you have probably heard of the brand Colourpop. I decided to go on the site and purchase a few products.

First off, the prices are amazing, all the products are under $10, which to me is amazing. Even drug store products surpass the $10 mark. Shipping was beyond fast and they provide you with tracking info. I love the envelope that it comes in. They have their glittery logo etched on it. There is also a lovely note enclosed. 

I was heavily influenced by Instagram and Youtube to buy these products (peer pressure), but never the less, I am beyond excited to have purchased what i did.

I ended up purchasing 3 lip products and 2 eye shadows. 

The first was the oh so popular StingRAYE by youtuber ITSMYRAYERAYE. This color is described as a "cool toned mauve brown" and it totally agree with it. On my darker complexion this color pops and it's such a perfect shade which complements me and the texture is smooth.

The next was Trap which is described as a "dusty greyed out beige (“greige”)" and it totally is as described, there's also a bits of baby pink/lavender undertones. Like StingRAYE the product applied very smoothly on the lips.

The last was Kapow! And can I tell you, I was so excited for this one in particular. This one is described as a "muted grey taupe" and it gives me that perfect dead girl lips. On my lips it is darker than it is in the bottle. 

All of these colors are matte and pair nicely with many other lip liners/pencil/sticks etc. 

On to the shadows. I wanted to pick up vibrate colors that fit well with my skin tone, and knowing that i have a full year ahead, I wanted to make sure I picked something up that can be used year round. Beware to tightly seal the shadow because they are a bit moist which allows more staying power and stronger pigmentation. The olive color of Hammered complements my brown eyes, yet the gold reflexive pigment draws more attention to yet. In contrast the reds in Erotic brings a sense of mystery and sexiness when mixed with other shades.

The two eye shadows I purchased are:

Erotic: candy apple red with sparkles. The texture is so velvety smooth. It is as if you are applying a cream product on your skin. this color is not very vibrant, and it also needs multiple applications in order to get an opaque finish.

Hammered: smoky olive with gold tones.  Again this is velvety smooth. compared to Erotic, Hammered is so pigmented and true to cool, one swipe and you are done. 

Since Valentine's Day is nearing, I cannot wait to wear these products for a date night. I totally recommend you all to go out and purchase these, they do not break the bank, yet you get quality items.

Christian Loubou(sa)tin

High Heels. An accessory that society has created for women that tricks them into believing that they need it in order to be seen as sexy and classy. I have fallen for this trickery. I, like many women, own several pairs of heels, from high end to cheapy basics, but nothing compares to the oh-so-popular Christian Louboutin Pigalle 100MM.

These shoes are honestly the devil, although Mr. Christian Louboutin himself stated he does not make shoes for comfort but more for aesthetics, I was hoping these bad boys would at least be more comfortable than they are. I purchased mine a few years back from Saks Fifth Avenue in New York. When S.A brought out several heights and sizes, I fell in love. Knowing myself, I knew I would not be able to deal with the 120mm, because when I tried them on I started to lean forward, so I opted out for the 100( about 4in) which is the normal height for heels for me. I trotted around in the store, and loved them. The plush carpet made me feel as if I was walking on a cloud. I whipped out my card and I became an owner of my second pair of C.L (first and last pair of Pigalles).

The first few times I wore these they were manageable until the 10 min mark hit. I found myself having to bite the bullet refusing to take them off, (I really despise taking off my shoes in public). Pretty much, these shoes have barely any soles, so the ball of feet is constantly face planting on the ground. Although these are the typical 4in, they are very steep so you basically turn into a ballerina. Lastly I'm lucky enough to not have a wide foot so the pointed toe does not bother me, but what does bother me is that my foot slide further into the front of the shoe box making it feel pretty uncomfortable.

Would I discourage people from buying this? No. If you truly want these shoes...get them... it is your money. But since I'm not an avid high heel wearer (I'm more of an 3in boot wearer) I do not find these very comfortable. When I do have fancy events to attend, I still whip them out, but making sure whatever I am attending allows me ample sitting down time.

M.A.C | My New Obsession

Happy 2016 All!

Unless you have lived under a rock, you probably know and or own a beauty product from M.A.C. I growing up was always fond of makeup, and when I say makeup I mean mascara and Chapstick, but being a member of the youtube community for a while now, I've been exposed to so many low and high end products.

I remember purchasing my first ever M.A.C product my freshman year, which is my trusty Ruby Woo lipstick. I felt like I was "the man", at 17 years old owning such an expensive product! Woah Baller ALERT! I later ended up giving it to my sister who fell in love with this rich matte ruby shade. Luckily enough I repurchased it a few years later, and it definitely is the same product I fell in love with. It is so velvety to look at, and also to the touch.

The next 2 M.A.C products I was able to get my hands on were Soar(pictured) and Chicory(no longer in my possession). Of course this was at the time when Kylie Jenner blossomed into the mega sex icon that she is now. So of course I wanted to have these pink nude lips that she had, I already am blessed with plump lips so I never needed to partake in the lip suctioning trend that she started. Sadly I lost Chicory whilst vacationing in Rome, Italy in summer 2015, and it's been out of stock for the longest.

Soar Lip Liner

Chicory Lip Liner

One evening I was going through a friends makeup bag just being nosy, and found M.A.C Sin, she said I could have it because she does not like the color! I was so happy because it was brand new, free, and the rich burgundy color absolutely complemented my skin tone.

I stumbled upon my third M.A.C lipstick through my favorite Youtuber/blogger Mouldyfruit, and it is M.A.C Whirl, Oh how this beautiful pink/nude/brown shade compliments my skin tone and lips. It also pairs great with every single lip liner and color I own.

The last M.A.C lipstick I own is Viva Glam Miley Cyrus gifted to me christmas 2015. I have yet to wear this one, it is a bright pink which slightly intimidates ( I refuse to go out looking like a foolish clown). But when I applied this, i went on so smoothly. The brightness is definitely due to the fact that is it an "Amplified Creme"

Lastly-for now- I recently purchased M.A.C oh so popular Nightmoth lip liner. Guys, when I tell you this is such a pigmented eggplant color, it goes on so smoothly and it stays on!

Most of the lipsticks are matte, but luckily for me they do not dry my lips out, I always make sure to keep my lips hydrated and moisturized prior to applying any lip product, and throughout the day and night.

  Which M.A.C lippies are your fave?
