30 Day Lipstick Challenge: Week 2. New Year, New Lips

Hellllo, smackers. Week two was revved up with some serious color and fun hues! Which were your favs?

Day 8: Nars Satin Lip Pencil in Luxembourg Favorite stay put pencil that doesn't dry your pout!
Day 9: YSL Rouge Pur Couture Mat Lipstick Grenat Satisfaction (#206)
Day 10: Chanel Palette Levres Multifacettes De Chanel: This was a limited edition product that is no longer available. Sorry!
Day 11: Clinique Chubby Stick in Mighty Maraschino and YSL Lip stain in Color 9, Rouge Laque. I loved pairing these two together for a glossy, bright look.
Day 12: Shiseido Advanced Performance Lipstick in Burning Embers (#139) May also be discontinued :/
Day 13: MAC in Dark Side. Instant edge.
Day 14: CoverGirl in Red to Remember. This has since been discontinued. Mistake in my opinion. :(

Lessons learned this week: Buy back ups. Sigh.

Happy New Year, you sexy babies,

30 Day Lipstick Challenge: Week 1

Hi friends! Week One has been such a blast digging into the Lipstick Vault. Take a look at what we've rocked so far and tell us what you're wearing this season.



Day 1: mark. Total Kiss Up Hook Up Plumping Gloss Great feel, great scent. Can't go wrong.
Day 2: MAC lipliner in Whirl #kyliejenner status
Day 3:  Benefit Cha Cha Tint in Sheer Mango Just set it and forget it! Great for long (holi)days into nights.
Day 4: Maybelline Colorsensational in Beige Bombshell (Color may be discontinued already) Tough for winter. Not great on chapped lips. I'd say not the best finisher of the week. Maybe that's why it's discontinued...
Day 5: MAC in Faux It's Faux real!
Day 6: YSL Golden Gloss #39 - Glitter Ball anyone?
Day 7: Make Up Forever Rouge Artist Natural in N9 Copper Pink Full of moisture and never makes my lips all chappy after. Also has a very neutral scent and (lack of) taste which is a huge plus in my books.

Get ready! Week Two is about to get saucy!!

Happy Hols, my pretties!

What's in my make-up bag?

 As an NYC commuter, it's important to carry around the tried and true staple goods while still having some bonus glam items to take a look from work to 'werk'. Here's a glance of what I carry around day to day:

1. Shiseido eyelash curler- My favorite curler for my eyeshape, next to the Shu Uemura eyelash curler.
2. Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara- This mascara does not budge! Great for weddings.
3. Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara- Disclaimer: I don't know if it's better than sex, but DOES deliver great lash volume.
4. Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Medium/Deep Matte Bronzer- Yes, it smells like chocolate.
5. David Yurman Delicate Essence
6. Makeup Forever Full Cover Waterproof Concealer
7. Lancome Artliner in Noir- I actually love this eyeliner in EVERY color: Aubergine, Navy, and I'm going for Azure next...

 

8. Makeup Forever Aqua Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil, 19L
9. MAC Lip Pencil in Whirl- Kylie Jenner's go-to lip color these days. Go crazy overlining your lips with this; you can't go wrong.
10. YSL mirror (500 point gift from Sephora! Rack up those points, ladies and gentlemen...)
11. Kiehl's Lip Balm #1
12. YSL Rouge Pur Couture Mat in Grenat Satisfaction- Perfect lippy for insta-glam. I suggest using a lip brush to apply this, since the color is SO intense.
13. MAC Satin Lipstick in Brave- Great every day lip color, and a great alternative to nude; it's totally a "My Lips But Better" color.
14. Tweezerman slant point tweezers- Because you never know when you need a good tweeze.
15. Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye Primer

Happy Thursday! xx K
