Urban Decay Lip Junkie Gloss

I am always on the search for a new lipgloss- I must have hundreds- but when I came across this fabulous lip gloss by Urban Decay, I had to share with you all: Introducing the Urban Decay Lip Junkie Lipgloss! 

This decadent lip gloss has a fabulously delicious vanilla-mint flavor that I adore. And unlike lots of other glosses, Lip Junkie allows you to get all that shine without the sticky hangover. If you want a super-shiny gloss, but can't stand the sticky texture, then Lip Junkie is definitely for you.  The soft and smooth texture stays put much longer than other glosses.

The key ingredient, Maxi-Lip™, plumps the appearance of lips an average of 40% when used daily for a month. (Lip Junkie uses non-irritant plumpers, unlike other glosses that use stinging ingredients to inflame your lips.) The Maxi-Lip actually helps your lips become better defined, super-hydrated, and full.

My go-to shade for this gloss is Midnight Cowboy- a fabulous sheer sparkly nude that is beyond amazing over some of my favorite lipsticks.

What do you think? Do you love a glossy pout? What is your favorite lip gloss? Let me know in a comment on this post!

You can purchase the Urban Decay Lip Junkie Lipgloss at Sephora.

Tarte Lip Tint

Tarte's LipSurgence Natural Matte Lip Tint is an amazingly pigmented natural lip stain. I purchased the lip stain in "Lively", a super saturated hot pink. 

This lip stain is the real day, fashionistas- it truly will stay on ALL DAY! Through eating, drinking, everything! This lip stain is peppermint-infused, making your lips smell super fresh. 

But what makes this different from the millions of other lip stains on the market? Unlike any other lip stain I have tried before, the formula is not drying at all. I have had so many lip stains in the past that are more like a marker that you draw on your lips and those are super drying. This lip stain is more like a crayon, very silky and smooth in application, and it does not leave your lips dry at all. Tarte actually claims that their technology increases moisture content in your lips. 

I purchased my lip stain in "Lively", a hot pink, but there is a wide range of other shades available so you can find the perfect one for your skin-tone.

NARS The Multiple in South Beach

NARS The Multiple in South Beach is my newest makeup obsession. This one stick is a combo eye, lip, and cheek color. The fabulous product was born during a 1996 Harper’s Bazaar shoot when Francois Nars chose to use a single lipstick on model Carolyn Murphy’s eyes, lips, and cheeks. Customers began copying the look, and NARS decided to launch a cream color with a texture that would work all over.

This amazing formula is creamy and adds sheer color to eyelids, cheeks, and lips. It blends in easily and the South Beach color has a slight shimmer that warms up the face. You can use it all over your face or just on your cheeks to chisel your cheekbones and contour that area. 

There are lots of ways to apply this product, depending on the area that you are applying it to. For cheeks, used as a blush, you can use your fingers or a blush brush to apply the color to the apples of your cheeks and cheekbones. Personally, I usually just apply it straight from the stick, swiping it onto my cheekbones and then blending with my fingers. To use as an eyeshadow, use your fingers to blend and apply the product; you can also use an eyeshadow brush for a more precise application. You can always finish off your look by dabbing some color from the stick onto your lips, I usually finish with a gloss to add some shine and sparkle to the look. 

I really am loving this NARS Mulptiple stick in South Beach. There are a bunch of other colors available, so I will definitely be checking those out as well!


You can purchase this product at a NARS beauty counter or at Sephora. 
Retail Price: $38

NARS Dolce Vita

Forewarning, you will be seeing quite a few NARS makeup posts in the near future- I have gone on a NARS makeup spree and am beyond obsessed. If you are unfamiliar with the brand, NARS was founded by makeup artist extraordinaire, famed photographer and creator of NARS Cosmetics, Francois Nars. The brand has a cult following for their fabulous products such as one of my go-to favorite blushes, Orgasm (Fab-YOU-lous: My Favorite Blush), and the famous Turkish Delight lip gloss (Fab-YOU-lous: My Favorite Lipgloss). NARS is known for so many outstanding products because their brand, although a bit pricey, is unmatchable in quality and color pigmentation.

My Dolce Vita Family!

I really want to tell you all about my new favorite NARS shade- Dolce Vita. And trust me when I say I have gone Dolce Vita obsessed, I now have NARS blush, gloss, and lipstick in this shade. It is just beyond perfect, especially for the fall and winter months in particular.

NARS lipstick in Dolce Vita is the perfect shade, especially for light skin. This product has won tons of awards- Dolce Vita was named "Best Lipstick for Light Skin”, "Best Beauty Buys” and "Best Overall Lipstick” by InStyle. The NARS lipstick formula is beyond creamy and smooth- it is infused with antioxidants and conditioners to hydrate and condition the lips, I am so in love! I will definitely be returning to the lipstick line of NARS for my next makeup splurge.

On my lips- NARS Dolce Vita lipstick with a coat of  Dolce Vita lipgloss on top

NARS Dolce Vita lip gloss is a timeless favorite. This gloss is extremely pigment-thick, providing the wearer with fabulously brilliant color!

 

Last but not least, I would highly recommend the beyond beautiful Dolce Vita blush. NARS is known for their fantastic blush formulas, they are wonderfully buildable and versatile.

A Fresh Way to Start Your Day

If you have never tried anything from the Fresh product line, now is your chance. Or, if you are a fan, this is an amazing chance to get some of their best products at a super reasonable price. I have been a huge fan of Fresh products for quite some time now- the more things I try, the more I fall in love. My favorite Cleanser (Fab-YOU-lous: My Favorite Cleanser: Fresh), Lip Polish (Fab-YOU-lous: Polish Your Lips!), and Chapstick (the Fresh Sugar Lip Polish) are all Fresh products that I use on a daily basis.

This fabulous kit, at an AMAZING price (ONLY $28, can you believe that?!) includes a full size Sugar Lip Polish, 3.4 oz Brown Sugar Body Cream, and a 0.28 oz Sugar Lip Polish. This kit is a $66 value, because the Lip Polish alone costs $22.50- How amazing is this set that for $5.50 more you receive a Fresh Body Cream and Lip Polish! Not to mention the adorable shiny red makeup bag that the products come in!

Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15 blends real sugar with nourishing meadowfoam and black currant seed oils to hydrate, soften, and protect the lips. 

Sugar Lip Polish gently exfoliates and conditions with real brown sugar crystals, leaving lips incredibly soft and smooth. 

Brown Sugar Body Cream hydrates the skin and restores suppleness, leaving skin silky smooth and velvety soft.

If you want an intro to the Fresh product line, I would absolutely recommend trying this kit- what do you have to lose?! Amazing products at a crazy good price, I promise you will love it!

Buxom Kit: Samantha's Smoky Eye

I am in love with the new kit by Bare Escentuals- The fabulous Buxom Samantha's Smoky Eye Kit has everything that you need for the perfect smoky eye and nude lip look.

This kit includes the Big & Healthy Lip Polish in Samantha (seductive nude), Smoky Eye Stick in Smokin' Pistol (smoky coal),  Buxom Smoky Eye Brush, and Buxom Lash Mascara in Blackest Black. All of these products are in full size too, making this an even better deal! 

To review each product in the kit: First, I have been using the Buxom Lash Mascara for quite some time now, and I absolutely ADORE it. It darkens, lengthens, and thickens lashes and is flake free for 12 hours! The hour-glass shaped applicator brush is definitely the trick- It gets rid of all the clumps that often form when putting on mascara. The results that I have gotten with this Buxom Lash are amazing- I truly can not live a day without it.

The Big & Healthy Lip Polish in Samantha is such a flattering color. This seductive and super trendy nude lip color will become a staple in your makeup routine. This lip polish has an infusion of Vitamins A and E to keep lips super soft, smooth, and protected. This lip polish creates a more plump and full look, while maintaining sheen without any stickiness. This gloss is truly fabulous for both day and night makeup looks, and especially looks amazing with a smoky eye, of course! 

This is my new favorite way to make a fabulously perfect smoky eye- the Buxom Smoky Eye Stick can actually be used in three different ways. You can use this stick to shadow your eye, as an eyeliner, and as an easy smoky eye creator (works best with help of the Smoky Eye Brush). This stick is waterproof, which helps it stay put and smudge proof all night long. 

The fabulous Smoky Eye Brush is a necessity for smoking your eyes to perfection. This tapered, bullet-tip brush was specifically designed by Buxom for use with the 3-in-1 Smoky Eye Stick, to line, shadow, and smoke out your eyes. 

How to get the perfect smoky eye with the Smoky Eye Stick and the Smoky Eye Brush:
The Buxom Method: How to Use your Smoky Eye Stick 3-in-1 Shadow, Line & Smoke
1. Gently brush the Smoky Eye Brush against the eye stick tip, then sweep color back and forth on the lid near the lash line and into crease.
2. Line the lash line with the pointed tip (includes built-in sharpener).
3. Soften the edges with brush to get down and smoky.

Research results:
In clinical trials of Buxom Lips:
-86% of women experienced an immediate increase in lip fullness.
-75% of women felt that moisture in their lips increased.
-96% of women were satisfied with the overall improvement in the their lips.
In clinical trials of Buxom Lash:
-Lashes increased 300% in volume.


As you can see, this kit is totally worth every penny- I promise you will love all of the products!
