My Favorite Spring Lip Products

5 / 17 / 17

Hi everyone! Today I wanted to share my favorite spring lip products. During the warmer months I like to keep things pretty natural with the exception of a few corals. I’m a big fan of lip stains and glosses in the spring/summer. They’re easy to throw on and go.

Mac Lipstick in Creme Cup – if you have read my blog for a while you will have read about this lipstick before. It’s slightly lighter than your natural lip color, giving you this gorgeous baby pink look. It’s great all year around but I especially like the subtle pink in the spring.

Tarte Lip Tint in Joy – this is a gorgeous coral color. It’s just bright enough to notice without being too in-your-face. This is definitely one of my favorite spring lip products. It’s a gorgeous color to add to anyone’s collection and it lasts a long time. This shade is discontinued but there’s similar shades here.

Revlon Lip Stain in Honey – this is probably the darkest lip product in this post. I love this color and it’s slightly darker than your natural lip color. It’s the perfect spring neutral when you want something a little darker than your normal lips.

L’Oreal Wet Shine Stain Lip Gloss in Pink Resistance – I love this product. The formula is super smooth and creamy.  It last super long like a stain. I love the color. This is one of my all time favorite lip products. The quality is amazing and they’re super affordable which is always a plus.

NARS Lip Gloss in Turkish Delight – I’ve spoken about this product before. I love the baby pink color. This is also another amazing product. I love the formula, it goes on super smooth and creamy. It’s great to wear on its own or on top of another product.

Benefit Coralista Lip Gloss – I got this in a little kit with a bunch of Benefit products and instantly fell in love with it. I love the color. It’s sheer but still has a really good color pay off. This is slightly on the sticky side of glosses but I don’t mind at all. I think the product is worth the hype for sure! I’ll definitely be purchasing a full size when this little one runs out.

 I hope you all enjoyed my favorite spring lip products. If you missed my last blog post I will have it linked here. Check out my social medias if you haven’t already. They’re link in the side bar and down below.

My 5 Favorite Lipsticks

11 / 14 / 1611 / 6 / 16

My 5 Favorite LipsticksHi everyone! Today I’m sharing my favorite lipsticks. Technically two of them aren’t lip sticks but I feel they’re close enough to include in this post. When it comes to lipsticks I don’t think I’m very adventurous. I like my neutrals, pinks, and berry colors. I’m very fair so I always find it hard to get a shade that doesn’t overpower me. Lip stains are some of my favorite things to wear. You can throw it on and go without having to worry about reapplying it every hour. It’s fun how applying different shades changes your look completely.

Mac Creme Cup – Mac lipsticks are some of my favorites. This is a light pink color. Light pinks are my favorite for day-to-day use.

Mac Angel – I think this is my favorite lipstick. It’s the perfect color for everyday use. This is another light pink color. However it’s darker than crème cup. I find this is one of those ‘your lips but better’ shades.

NARS Tolede – This is my most recent lipstick buy. I love the rose shade. It’s between a red/berry lip and a nude color. I think this is the perfect color for the holiday season.

Revelon Colorburst Honey – I love this lipstain. This is one of those that I throw on and forget about. It’s a bit darker than my natural lip color. I like to wear this when I want something a bit more noticeable.

Mirenesse Perfect Kiss – This is the boldest color in the lot. It’s a pinky red. I like this color when I want a red lip. Like I mentioned before I’m very fair so I normally can’t wear a straight up red color. This one is perfect for me.

I hope you enjoyed my favorite lipsticks. If you missed my last blog post I will have it linked here. I hope you have a great week!

2015 Beauty Favorites

1 / 1 / 161 / 1 / 16

2015 Beauty Favorites2015 Beauty Favorites2015 Beauty Favorites2015 Beauty Favorites

As 2015 has come to a close, I wanted to share with you my 2015 beauty favorites.These products have been a constant in my makeup routine this year.

The Tarte “Amazonian Clay Foundation” is amazing! I got this last year for Christmas and it is just now running out, I use it almost everyday. The coverage is great, it has SPF 15 which is a huge plus for me, and they have a variety of shades to accommodate everyone. This foundation has lasted me all day. At the end of a long day it looks just as good as it did that morning. This foundation is great to apply with just your fingers or with the brush that goes with it. The “Foundation Brush” made for this foundation is also fantastic. Most days I just apply the foundation with my hands but if I want a more flawless,airbrushed look I use the brush. The brush is very dense and gives a nice finish.

The Nars blush in the color “Orgasm” is beautiful! This is one of those cult favorite and it definitely doesn’t let you down. The color is gorgeous and very pigmented, with a hint of shimmer.

For lips I have two go to glosses, Bare Minerals marvelous moxie lip gloss in the color “Maverick” and Nars gloss in “Turkish Delight“. The Bare Minerals gloss is a dark berry color, it’s my favorite dark lip color and I wear it all the time in the colder seasons. The Nars gloss is the exact opposite of the Bare Minerals gloss. It’s a beautiful light milky pink color and gives you the perfect light pink lip. My favorite lipstick is Mac “Angel“, it’s a light pink “just like your lips but better” shade. I picked it up when I was in New York a few years back and I have been in love ever since.

Perfume hands down has to go to my “Coco Mademoiselle” by Chanel. I turned 18 this year and I wanted something special to commemorate it with and Chanel seemed like the perfect idea. The scent is sophisticated without smelling like an old lady and it will last you all day. I think this is a good ‘first Chanel perfume’, it’s young yet elegant and oh so perfect.

If you can get one Urban Decay Naked Palette I recommend Naked2. Naked2 was my first Naked palette I ever owned, since then I’ve collected the other two, but Naked2 is the one that I always come back to. The Naked palettes have become some of the only eye shadows I use and any would be a good choice. I wore the original Naked palette a lot in the summer but the Naked2 is the one that I wore the most this year. Naked2 is described to be shades of taupe. I find that this palette is the most wearable for me on a daily basis. The colors are all gorgeous and super pigmented.

I have been loving winged eye liner lately. I find that it’s a fun way to spice up your look, yet still look classy, if done right. Maybelline “Line Stiletto” is my choice liquid liner to accomplish this look. It has a thin felt tip that let’s me keep control and create sharp lines. The liner itself is very pigmented and doesn’t smudge easily.

And finally, mascara. My favorite had been Benefit’s “They’re Real” mascara. I find this mascara makes my lashes look very volumized and yet defined. It gives a “fake lashes” look without having to wear fake lashes.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and a Happy New Year!

Here’s to 2016!

Love, Cattleya.
