4 Everyday Lipsticks

As easy as it may seem finding an everyday lipstick can be hard. I truly had to work up to this bunch of lipsticks I love. Most of these are pink-nudes because they match with pretty much anything. Who does not love a nice nude color on the lips for a pop of color. Also In these four sticks I added in a red color. A red can make the look even if you do not have time for eye shadow. Then of course a pink when you are feeling it. Those are the colors and now here are the lipsticks for that...

Sweat-Proof & Matte Makeup Bases

If you have oily skin you know its hard enough trying to keep you makeup in tact and in the summer its even harder! Here are some of my favorite products to use to keep a matte face...

Most importantly get a setting spray. I use NYX - Matte Finish spray. This is very long-lasting keeping your makeup set. I used this during Gym and sweated like a pig and this really helped keep it on. Powders are good for oily skin, but don't be afraid to use a setting spray just make sure its matte and long lasting. Matte sprays should keep you from shine and an oily look for most oily skin. Let me know what setting sprays work on your skin type in the comments!
Another matte base you need to get is the Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer Potion. I have not only have loved this myself but I know many who loves this too. Not always can concealer do the job this potion can keep from naughty creasing and help you eye shadow from running away! This is definitely worth it for those sweaty days!
Before putting on foundation you need a primer. This will give you a base for your foundation to hug. I use Smashbox Photo Finish Primer. This primer is very lightweight and smooth. This will not only prime but even out your skin tone. Love this!
Make sure to wear a wax eyeliner. Nothing worse than it making its way down your face. I love using Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil. This is also water-proof! This eyeliner is super creamy and gliding pencil that drys to not budge.
You need a lip-liner in the hot summer heat! You don't want you lip color to fly away! Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Lip Liner in the best long-lasting lip liner! Its clear so no mess! You only have to buy one lip liner no more buying hundreds of different colors. This will keep you lips set in place with moister to not dry them out in the sun!

Make sure to wear something like these bases this summer!

How To Wear A Purple Lip

 

 

 

Purple lips aren't only for winter, its a fun springy/summer color too! But, sometimes it can be hard too because it can sometimes look a little tacky and unprofessional. So here are some ways you can rock it...

 

First off you want to make sure it fits your skin tone. You don't have to feel limited to the amount of purple colors that are out their, pick one that you like, there are plenty of purples out their for you. Usually if you have a warmer skin tone it works well with a color between reddish purple to purple, and if you have a cooler skin tone you could go for a range of cooler purples.

 

Keep everything else minimal, the lipstick is the spotlight and can clash with an eye shadow and add to much color. You want to keep you hair simple as well. You don't want to look like a clown!

 

Lastly, purple lipstick can make you lips look small, to prevent this simply add a clear lip-gloss to give it a normal look. For an extra, add a little bit of white eye shadow in the inner lips for an ombre lip effect. Make sure to blend it well.

 

How do you like wearing your purple lipstick?

Ps.. Love it when you comment!

Lushcious Lush

  ~ Lush Is Simply Amazing...

Lush is defiantly one of my favorite stores. They have so many natural products. I have been loving all of these lush products.

Let's first start with my most favorite, the shower jelly. This jelly comes in a cute pot. It is very moisturizing and soapy. It feels like putting jelly on your skin, and sometimes can be very slick. I personally love how it smells so fresh. I almost want to literally eat it. This one is called "Sweetie Pie". The next one I got was the massage bars. I got one strawberry, and the other in a lavender scent (shaped like a hand). I like these a lot too. Love the smell. Don't worry they are more moisturizing than you think. They are definitely nice in the winter to message your dry hands with. This last one kind of goes with the message bars. It is called "Putty for your Hands".  I like using this to wash with because it doesn't sting while washing my dry hands. This one goes so well because you can use this to wash your hands and after you wash them then you can put the message bar on them. In just days you hands will be simply soft.

And that's why lush is so amazing!
