Milani Color Statement Lipstick in Black Cherry

 

 

One of my favorite looks in makeup right now is a super dark lip paired with a light eye. I remember years ago when Chanel introduced a color called Vamp. It instantly became a cult favorite. Well, Milani has nailed this lipstick in a color called Black Cherry, and it certainly reminds me of Vamp. What I love about this Milani lipstick, is that even though it’s super bold and pigmented, it’s extremely moisturizing without looking overly shiny. I don’t know why, but most really dark lipsticks usually dry out my lips. But not this one, and it stays put for hours! I started with my favorite clear lip liner by Make Up For Ever and then precisely applied my lipstick. I love how this color complements my paler skin tone during the Winter months. I usually pair my dark, rich lips with a subtle and toned down, but slightly reflective eye, like Milani’s Bella Eyes Gel Powder eye shadow in Bella Gold (As shown above). It’s the perfect slightly metallic eye for a bold lip! Be daring and give this look a try…you will surely turn a few heads- xx

 

e.l.f. False Eyelashes: Holiday Trio

 

As usual, I can never get enough of my false lashes! I’m telling you, this can really put a dent in my wallet. I love the Holiday’s for all of the obvious reasons, but as a makeup junkie, I adore the value packs they come out with this time of year. I think I might ban myself from even stepping foot in Sephora this season, because for whatever reason my motto turns into “One for you, two for me!” I can do some serious damage! When I was at Target this past week I happen to walk by the cosmetics department. To my delight I immediately noticed an end cap full of e.l.f. products. I quickly snatched up this three pack of false lashes for $3. Oh joy! This pack contains three different styles of lashes that are all fabulous to say the least. You’ve heard me say this a million times over, I always cut my strip lashed in half, so it’s like getting two pairs for the price of one. I’ve used e.l.f. lashes so many times in the past, and they are definitely a great bargain and work perfectly to finish off your over all look. It’s amazing how false lashes really make your eyes pop. I rarely leave home without them- xx
