MELT Cosmetics Lipstick in Belladonna 2

 

I have been wanting to buy this lipstick for a while now. This name kept coming across my Instagram over and over again. I thought “Do I really need one more lipstick?” The answer will always be YES! I finally decided to order the one color I have been lusting over for months by MELT Cosmetics called Belladonna 2. First off, let me say how impressed I was with the quick delivery and brilliant packaging when my lipstick arrived. Being a business woman myself, it is always the details that make your product stand above the rest. The box alone was impressive and when I opened my package and found a tiny lipstick keychain as well, it really sealed the deal. But the real prize here is the lipstick. I must admit, it took a second to get used to the ULTRA MATTE formula of this lipstick. I do realize it is marketed as a matte lipstick, but I had no idea it would be matte to this degree. So after quickly researching the web, I found other users claimed the same thing and found the best way to apply this beautifully pigmented lipstick would be over a thin layer of lip balm. This did the trick in an instant to provide a flawless coverage. If you are a gloss girl, you might not like this formula so much, but I will say, this lipstick didn’t budge for at least six hours and a couple of margaritas later! If you want LOOK AT ME lips, Belladonna 2 by MELT is the answer-

Wet n’ Wild Silk Finish Lipstick in 15 Minutes Aflame

 

 

My vanity is covered with lipstick. I  have so many lipsticks that I could go an entire year without wearing the same shade twice! I know, I clearly have issues. On a recent trip to Walgreens, I noticed Wet n’ Wild had an end cap display of some new lipsticks and polishes for 99 cents. Of course I couldn’t resist. I was instantly drawn to this bold, bright, super pigmented color called 15 Minutes Aflame. I have become a HUGE fan of Wet n’ Wild products. What used to be known primarily as a cosmetic line for teens, has quickly become one of my favorite lines, especially for lipsticks. These little gems definitely give the luxury brands a run for their money! The color of this lipstick is a true bright pink. It has a super creamy but pigmented consistency that stays put for hours. At this price, I’ll surely pick up one in every color. I can simply describe these lipsticks in one word…AMAZING!

Wet n’ Wild MegaLast Lipstick in Cherry Bomb

 

I’ll keep this post short and sweet. I have reviewed these MegaLast lipsticks by Wet n’ Wild numerous times before. The colors are super pigmented and they last for hours. The best part about these is they are an amazing bargain at $1.99! So basically for less than the price of a latte, you can have amazing “look at me” lips. I have these lipsticks in just about every color and Cherry Bomb is a rich burgundy that just screams glam. One of the reasons I’m so obsessed with lipstick, is no matter what my mood, or if I’m having a day where I’m feeling tired, a bold lipstick definitely livens up my complexion. You are never fully dressed without your LIPSTICK!

 

 

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

 

Milani Power Lip Stain in Cabaret Blend

 

I must admit, I have become quite the fan of all things MILANI! When a friend gave me a few of these Milani Power Lip Moisturizing Gloss Stains, I squealed with excitement! You all know my obsession with all things that contain the word “Lip” in it. Lipstick, Lip Gloss, Lip Liner, Lip Balm. I’m not normally a Lip Stain kinda girl, but this had the staying power of a stain but could easily be layered to look like a gloss. What more could a girl want? I love the rich berry tone to this shade called Cabaret Blend. It’s the perfect color for Fall and definitely livens up your skin tone. It’s another hit for me…Thank you Milani for making my days more beautiful! xx
