Lip Favorites

Hey Beauties,

Happy Weekend! Hope everyone is enjoyed their week, it's finally the weekend :) Ever since the season has changed and its become hot I haven't been in the mood to do a full face of makeup. Instead of using a heavy foundation I've switched it up and been using BB Creams. I find its much lighter on the face and my face can still breathe. To finish my simple look I add a bit of bronzer, eyeliner, mascara and a bit of lipstick and occasionally blush.

When it comes to lips I like the natural look and I've fell in love with the Annabelle Lipliner in Buff. I was never the type to use lip liners but I was in the mood of trying new products and I decided to pick this up. I've tried her eyeliners and I really enjoy them, they glide on soo smoothly and they are really pigmented.


The colors I go for are more nude/pink and this is the perfect combination but has more of brown undertones. Just like the eyeliners it glides on your lips perfectly. I'm someone with small lips and this gives the illusion of fuller and plumped lips which is what I need. Even though its not waterproof it does last all day you may have to re-touch it once but I never had to.

I like to not only line my lips with it but fill in my lips as well it helps give my lips some color. Sometimes I just wear the lip liner as is and don't add anything on top and other times I use either a lipstick or lip gloss. I have 7 different combinations that I like to switch up from time to time which I will list below as well give you some options if you decide to try this liner. I have a few drugstore products as well as brand name ones.

Beauty Haul/Review

Hey Beauties,

I took a recent short trip to the beautiful USA and bought a few beauty items that I decided to do a haul and review.

I absolutely love going to WalMart and Target when I'm in the states because they have better prices and soo many more brands. 



My #1 mission was to buy the Suave shampoo because we don't have it where I live and it smells like heaven. Suave has a lot of different types of shampoos and smells but I went with the Moroccan Infusion Color Care. I find after using this shampoo not only does my hair smell good for days but it feels soo soft and silky without even using conditioner. Most shampoos I have to use conditioner to get that silky smooth effect at my ends. I purchased the big bottle and its lasted me for almost 2 months and I wash my hair every 2-3 days. Also what I like about this shampoo its very affordable which is a huge plus. On my next trip I'll be purchasing a few to stock up before winter lol.

The next thing I was looking for is a new razor. I personally love anything with cute packaging and the Schick Intuition Razor Kit caught my eye. The blade came in this cute peach color with music notes on it. I realized after I bought it that it was a limited edition blade cause it was for the Pitch Perfect 2 movie release. The one I got was in Tropical Citrus which smells unbelievably good. The kit comes with 2 cartridges and I bought another pack of 4 of Coconut milk and Almond oil. 

I found that I was able to use 1 blade for about 3-4 shaves and then the soap gets too thin on the bottom blade. I think you can still use it for another 2 more shaves but I decided to change it I'll prob keep it longer this time. I'm definitely going to continue using this and going to purchase more blades either if I find some here or in the States.

The last thing I was looking for was makeup wipes because I was out and I needed some. When it comes to removing makeup or cleansing my face I really like using natural products. I decided to try Pacifica for one cause I absolutely love their packaging its one brand that stands out. I bought the one with Coconut milk infused inside the wipes. After using them a few times my face is more softer and less dry. I found they were a bit more pricier than the Maybelline ones I buy but since they are more organic I don't mind giving the extra $2 if its better for my skin. 

Some other products I picked up that caught my eye was a few nail polishes and lip products. I always wanted to try the Sally Hansen Gel Polishes so I decided to give it a shot. The Target I went to only had 4 colors to choose from so I bought Malibu Peach because I didn't have a cute peach color in my collection. The concept of not having to use a light to keep the gel polish intrigued me because I didn't want to spend a lot of money to have it done at a salon. I did exactly what it said on the box but after 2 days I found it was chipping a bit. I really like the color though so I will just apply the polish but not the gel part. 

The other nail polish I bought was from Essie in Play Date. I really liked the shade of purple and I want to expand my nail polish collection. 

The next items are lip products 2 from NYX and 2 from Revlon.

NYX: Butter Gloss: 02 Eclair 
NYX Lip Gloss: 164 Nude Pink

Revlon Ultra HD Lip Lacquer 520 Pink Sapphire 
Revlon Lip Butter 050 Berry Smoothie 

I really love the NYX butter Glosses so whenever I find them I buy at least 1 or 2. Not only do they smell delicious they actually give a nice color when applied alone. I usually apply them on top of a nude lipstick or another lipstick that matches the lip gloss. Also they apply soo smoothly and do feel like butter on your lips. 

It's my first time trying the Lip Gloss, this one has a more candy scent unlike the other one which smells more like cake batter and sweet. I really like soft pink nude colors those are the colors I tend to wear more so I decided I needed this in my collection. 

Revlon is another brand that I tend to buy lip products from because of the cute packaging and also the colors they offer. The lip butters are my favorite I don't have many because its hard to find the colors I like in stores. I don't wear reds so I decided to buy a red but its more of a berry color. You can build the intensity buy applying it as many times as you want. I like applying it once or twice and then either I leave it like that or apply a nude gloss over it if I find its too much. As for the Lip Gloss in Pink Sapphire I just really liked the color and just bought it like that. 

Well that is all for now I hope you all enjoyed this Haul and Review till next time :)
