7 Things: Favorite Lip Products:

I was going to limit this post to favorite lip colors, but really I’m not very different when it comes to my lip color.  I was looking through my lipsticks, and I noticed that I have pretty much all of the same color.  So, I picked the items that I use the most. 

1.       Covergirl #280 Rapture

It has more shimmer than what’s showing up. I usually throw this one on if I’m not really sure what I’ll be doing.

2.       Flower LS7 So Gladiola

I noticed that this one is really just the matte version of the one above.  So if I want less shimmer, I go to this one. 

3.       Revlon #063 Wild Watermelon 

This one is a lip butter, and it was my first red color.  I like to wear this one more in the fall or spring.  I like paring it with my mint sweater.

4.       Rimmel London Showoff #300 Out of this World 

When I want to go pink this is my go to.  I’m not a big fan of lip gloss but this one, and the one below, are my favorites ever. 

5.       Rimmel London Showoff #500 Luna

This is another one that I noticed is just like 1 and 2 but in lipgloss form.  It’s a solid color meaning that is has no shimmer but it is shinny like a lip gloss. 

6.       Maybelline Lip Liner Clear

I’ve talked about this one before, and I still love it.

7.       Burt’s Bees Revitalizing Blueberry & Dark Chocolate

Everyone need a chapstick, and this one smells amazing.  I didn’t know that it had dark chocolate in though, so if you’d rather it be chocolate, you’re out of luck.

Flower by Drew Barrymore:

The powdered foundation is PPL

A little while ago, while on my normal run to wal*mart, I walked pass a display in the make-up section called Flower.  I decided to take a look, and I was drawn to this little rectangle, and found out that it was powder foundation.  I have never used powder foundation.  I have used powder, but it has never been full coverage.  I decided to buy.  The first time I used it, I didn’t really care for it.  I felt like it didn’t cover enough, and I felt like it was too powdery.  A little while later, I tried it again, and I fell in love with it.  (Obviously that can be seen in the picture.)  The packaging is very lovely.  It's a magnet closing instead of a snap, and I was a little weary about that, thinking that it would open in my make-up bag, but it hasn't.  It also likes to pick up my bobby pins, which I don't mind.

Fast forward a few months, and I went back and bought two new items, a lipstick and an eyeliner marker/ mascara combo.  I love the lipstick, but the combo pack, not so much.  I don’t know if I just got a dud or what, but the mascara is dry and barely comes off of the brush. That's a little disappointing because it costs nearly $10.  The mascara also says that its volumizing, but I haven’t noticed a difference (maybe because it’s so dry?)   I don’t know. 

The marker, is great.  I'm not the best at cat eye like eyeliner but I think using this marker makes it a little bit easier.

LS7 So Gladiola 

The only complaints that I have about the lipstick is that it’s a little drying, but that’s so easily fixed, that it’s not worth complaining about, and that it is a smidgebit hard to open, but the more use, the easier it's getting.  It lasts for a really long time.  Even through all of my nervous lip rubbing and biting it has stayed strong.  I love it. 

The brand itself is very pleasing.  They don’t test on animals, and they try to keep the prices as low as the can.  The website itself (flowerbeauty.com) is very aesthetically pleasing.  It flows perfectly and Drew even has a videos showing what she loves, and tips on how to fully expand her line.  I don’t see that from other brands, and in my opinion it shows that she really cares about her line. 

I hope to own more from her line, and when I do, I’ll update.

What’s in my bag?

I know many people do this post/video, and I love them so I figured so do you.  I don’t know if this post would be easier as a video, I’m assuming it would be, but I’m just not interest in making videos.  Not my style.   So, here’s a small look into my bag. 

I bought this bag for $20 and it’s from Ross, unfortunately I don’t remember the brand.  I wanted an over the shoulder bag and this one has an adjustable strap so it was perfect.  Usually my bags have dividers in them, but this one does not, so things are a little less organized, but there is a small zipped pocket where I keep my chapstick, lipstick, and a lighter.  Then on the opposite side there are two pockets where I keep my phone, iPod, and gum. 

  

The Covergirl powder  is 525 buff beige  The other powder is by Drew Barrymore Flower in PP1 (Amazing powder btw)

I then have my wallet (Had to take a few items out) and a small makeup bag.  I got my wallet from Khols on sale for $16 and my make-up bag is from Paris, my Aunt got it for me so I have no idea what it cost.  Inside the make-up bag I have another chapstick (Orange from Mystic Water Soap), two powders, and extra hair ties/ bobby pins. 

Show off  is "Luna" and the covergirl is #235

I also have my house keys, a small hand sanitizer in the scent creamy pumpkin, (that I rarely use), a small hand lotion, a small bag of luck that a friend made for me a few years ago for Christmas, and my camera. 

Depending on the bag that I use, I’ll also carry around a small notebook.  This one is a little too small for that.   Also the bigger the bag the more items I’ll carry.  I’ve been known to have three different lotions, cough drops, a scarf, and a first aid kit.  It all just depends on the bag.
