L'Oreal Infallible Lipstick in shade 421 Charismatic Coral:

This is my second lipstick from the L'Oreal Infallible Lipstick line. (Here is my first review!)  

I absolutely love this lipstick.  I say this every time, but I really don't know why I don't have the full collection.  I think it's because when I go to the store the L'Oreal lipsticks are all the way at the bottom, and I just don't see them, and I'm one of those people where if the product is not in my face, I'm not going to remember that I love it.  But, I will absolutely get some more the next time I go on a lipstick spree.  

This lipstick is so soft and smooth when it's put on.  Super creamy, and it has a matte finish, but it doesn't feel like a matte lipstick.  Most of my matte lipsticks make my lips feel dry, but these ones don't.  Now, when I was wearing this shade, I noticed that my lips felt a little sticky, and I didn't remember my other shade being as sticky, so the best thing to do was compare them, and I was right, my fuchsia shade isn't sticky at all, but this coral shade is.  The stickiness is only noticeable when you rub your lips together.  So, if you keep your lips resting it should be fine.  (Talking and other normal activities okay too!)  

My favorite thing about this lipstick is the staying power!  Goodness do they stay.  I can eat a full dinner with these lipsticks on, and not necessarily need a touch up.  They fade, but they don't do what other lipsticks do, which is leave just a ring around my lips.  It's amazing!  

Pros: STAYING POWER!, Super creamy, matte 

Cons: A little sticky, a little pricey

Last time I gave this lipstick an 8 out of 10.  Now, I'm more of a 9 out of 10.  Love, love, love! 

Have you tried theses?  Was this shade a little sticky to you too?  Let me know!

Recipe: Longhorn Steakhouse Bourbon Salmon Dupe

As you know, I absolutely LOVE  Longhorn!  I've found two other dupes from Longhorn, and this is my third.  My mom order the salmon one night, I tried it, and I absolutely love it!!  I'm really thinking about changing my usual to this dish.  It was so sweet and savory I just fell in love after one bite!  It's so good!

I found this dupe on Pinterest! 

Ingredients:

 2 8oz  Salmon Fillets 

2 tsp Chopped Chives 

1 cup Bourbon 

1/4 cup Pineapple Juice 

2 Tbsp Soy Sauce 

2 Tbsp Brown Sugar 

1/4 tsp Black Pepper 

1/4 tsp Salt 

1/8 tsp Garlic Powder 

1/2 cup Olive Oil 

Directions: 

Combine the pineapple juice, brown sugar,  bourbon, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, into a bowl.  

Stir to dissolve the sugar.

Add the oil.

Remove the skin on the fish.

Put the fillets into a baking dish, and add the marinade on top. 

Let sit for an hour, or longer.  The longer the fillets sit, the more they will absorb the marinade.   

After an hour or so, the fillets are ready for either the grill or stove top.   I decided to use the stove.

 So, over medium heat, cook the fillets for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the fillet is fully cooked.  Brush the marinade over the fillets as they cook.

Then serve. 

Enjoy!!

Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Brightener:

I wasn't sure if this was a concealer or if it was just a brightener, and I've settle on that it's both, but it's only for under your eyes.  You wouldn't want to put a brightener on a spot.  Another thing that I wasn't sure about was the shade of this concealer.  It was the lightest one I could fine, and I still felt as if it wasn't exactly light enough.  But, as it turns out, it's perfect for me.  I bought mine from Walmart for about $6.29.  When I looked the concealer up online, I saw that there were four colors: fair, light, medium, and honey.  There is also a brightener and a neutralizer.  According to the bottom of my concealer, I bought the brightener, but on the package it said light, so again, I am confused as to what I exactly bought.  Are they all brightener concealers or was it labeled wrong in the factory.  I don't really know.  

Other than that whole confused mess, this concealer is a pretty nice concealer.  It covers my under eye circles as much as any other concealer I use, but it also brightens my eyes up.  The little sponge is a little annoying, especially since it doesn't work like a brush, and blending is really hard with it alone, so I always go back and use a brush to blend it out.  It blends really well into my skin tone, I was really surprised by that.  

As for age rewinding, I don't know.  I do have creases under my eyes and I can still see then while using this product.  Also, I still have under eye circles. That could be because I don't use the concealer every single day, but I've used it enough that I should be seeing some kind of change, I don't.  

This concealer lasts for around three hours. It will also crease in that time.  

Pros: Brightens, conceals, blends

Cons: Labeling, little sponge 

Do you like this concealer?  Let me know!

Wet n' Wild Lipstick:

For a really long time I avoided wearing this lipstick. I bought it on a whim, and when I got home, I felt that it was too bright and I didn't think I knew how to pair it with anything.  Turns out I was wrong.

This shade is called "What's up Doc?" it's a beautiful bright pink.  

Lately my lips haven't been in the best conditions.  They have been a little bit dry and some lipsticks haven't been sitting on them nicely.  But with this one my lips looked fine.  It's staying power is really nice.  Few hours without needing a touch up, but with eating and drinking is not the best idea.  Drinking with a straw is fine, but anything else you'll need a touch up.

The lipstick itself is a very soft formula.  It goes on smoothly and very easily.  It's not drying at all, and as I said before, it doesn't cling to any imperfections.  When it fades, it fades to a soft pink.  

I love Wet n' Wild lipsticks.  They're such great quality for their price!  This line in particular is .99 cents.  My other Wet n' Wild lipsticks are under $3. I haven't really tried anything else from Wet n' Wild, but I 100% recommend their lipsticks.   

Pros: Price, quality, staying power, feel 

Cons: I haven't really found any

What do you think about "What's up Doc?"  Let me know!
