Lipstick that stays "pout"

I was very skeptical to try this out but I figured for the price why not? For the sake of beauty on a budget! :)
I bought L'oreal  Infallible Never Fail Lipcolour Compact in three colors: 
Left: "Crimson" # 310 Middle:"Beyonce's Red" #399 Right: "Mulberry" #510

I was surprised on how well these worked! I wore Crimson when I went out to a concert and was pleased that it lasted ALL night! It comes with the Lip color on one side and the other is a "Conditioning Topcoat", basically a chap stick with a light gloss! Which really brightens and adds a nice gloss to the lip color! Also has a nice light smell, a tropical kind of smell! 



Two easy steps to achieve a long last lip color:

Step one: Make sure your lips are "clean", no chap stick just a "naked" lip. Apply a thin layer of the Lip color and let dry for a minute or two. It tightens up a bit when it is dry, I lightly pat my lips to see if its fully dry or not. (You dont have to do this but what I do it after it is dry I add another THIN layer and let dry again.)


Step two: Apply "Conditioning Topcoat" to seal and add a light glass and moisture. This can be applied whenever you feel that you need more gloss or moisture! 



"This is Beyonce's Red"

These have became my new favorites! I like the packaging because the packaging itself becomes a handy mirror and is palm size. Fits perfect into your pocket, clutch, purse...a great size for a great product.  I suggest these lip colors for everyone!! I love the reds they have! 

L'oreal infallible - $11.99 (but its on sale right now for $8.99) CVS

Nail Polish of the Week: ESSIE

I took a trip to the CVS store the other day and found Essie nail polish being sold, so being an Essie fan, I couldn't pass it up! :) I am currently wearing "Essie: Chinchilly". It is a wonderful cement grayish with a hint of lavender. A nice cool color that isn't too dark and not too light. What I love about Essie Polish is that the colors are always a nice even coat and even the pastel colors are never too light or iridescent. The most coats I ever lay on are 2 coats of polish and each coat goes on evenly.

If you are into polish check out Essie and you will fall in love with the product in ANY color! heres what it looks like.

ESSIE: Chinchilly $ 7.99 @ CVS 



When I paint my nails I always use a base/nail thickener: Thickener by Nutra Nail" to keep my nails strong and protect the nail polish from staining my nails and also helps the polish adhere better. Then put whatever polish I am using and let it dry for about a minute or a few minutes then I use Insta-Dri anti-chip top coat by Sally Hansen. Which is a VERY wonderful product!! :)

Happy shopping!
