BUXOM Full On Lip Cream

I personally am not a huge lip gloss person, but let me just begin by saying I love these. We've all heard the hype over White Russian, and all the hype is true. Not just that color

though, they are all amazing! 19$ in my opinion is a little much for a product like lip gloss. I don't know about you but I always just thought it's lip gloss sticky and doesn't last long no matter what brand, so almost 20$ dollars for one seemed crazy but of course I had to see what the hype was about over White Russian and bought it. I have never loved a lip gloss so much, now White Russian isn't the kind of color I go for normally but it is a beautiful nude. 

This definitely is not all about that shade, out of the six I've tried I love them all, color range isn't crazy huge like their normal lip gloss range but still a nice selection. They don't give me that burning my lips are on fire but they wear like no other lip gloss! I honestly can not order or go to Sephora and not get one. Good yet bad I haven't been too much lately. Going through the I have too much makeup phase, yet what is too much makeup? Can never have enough, right? 

I have White Russian, in my opinion it's a paler nude, Dolly nude/mauve, Lavender Cosmo light lavender with a lot of pink, probably my favorite, Mudslide to me this is a rosey nude, Rose Julep typical rose shade and Creamsicle light peach. I can honestly say I will continue too buy these till I own them all. 

They are an amazing lip gloss, with good pigmentation and worth every penny. I say if you haven't tried these yet go pick one up, you won't regret it! Only downfall is Buxom is a Sephora exclusive. 

Velvet Red Lips

Hey,

I love a red lip, its beautiful, classic but yet timeless. Every girl can pull it off once you find your perfect red. But really the trick to the red lip is confidence and of course knowing what kind of eye makeup to pair with! I love a matte red the most, but lately I have been doing a velvet like effect when doing a red lip and I wanted to share with you how I do it! I am not good at taking pictures of my lips, it's quite difficult, but my lips look really big and full in the picture so that's a plus! That shine is all the shimmer, I also do this with baby powder when I want a purely matte lip.

What I used:

• Rimmel Lasting Finish Kate Moss Edition in the Red tube in 111, I think it's name is Kiss of Life
• Avon Glimmersticks Lip Liner in Red Brick
• Coastal Scents Hot Pot in American Rose,  a medium red with a shimmer/satin finish
• Concealer, I used a concealer that was too light but I suggest using one that matches your skin tone, I just couldn't find mine at the time. You can see the difference, but this makes the red look much neater and pop even more!

What I Did:

1. I applied the lipstick, personally I just go straight out of the tube but you can use a brush if your  a perfectionist.
2. Then I cleaned up any mistake I made by using the lipstick straight from the tube, a lip brush should help eliminate this step! I also use this part to shape my lips, I like a more round pouty lip so I don't use lipstick in the corners of my lips and I round the edges out to give this effect.
3. I used the liner which is a bight darker then the lipstick to outline my lips and fill in the corners a little. This helps give dimension to the lip. I do this afterwards because I find that it just works better to give this effect.
4. I then set this, you can use an eyeshadow brush but I just use my fingers, I take some of the shadow and press it onto the lips, this will make your lips dry. It mattifies the lipstick but gives it a satin almost velvet effect. This looks more velvet like in person then in a photo.

Note this is a bit drying for your lips but looks great, last a long time and is fairly transfer proof!
