Crazy For Lipstick Tag:

The Questions:

1. How many Lipsticks in your Collection?

     I'm not a huge, huge lipstick wearer and I don't have nearly as many lipsticks as I do glosses and balms and things, but total I have 33.

2. How old were you, when you started using Lipstick?

     I was 13. 

3. What lipsticks cant you leave or live without?
     I cannot live without my Revlon lip Butters. They are so comfotable to wear, hydrating, and the shades are beautiful. I also can't part with my Revlon Super Lustrous Shine Lipsticks. They are super lightweight and pigmented! 




4. Show a Lipstick you use, to stand out.

     I love my Wet n Wild Silk finish Lipstick in No. 509A Cinnamon. It's a really eye catching almost red that isn't too orange. It's really unique. In the light it almost has a pinkish shadow and in the dark it's almost berry. It's a truly unique shade.




5. What was the last Lipstick you bought?
    The last lipstick I purchased was from the new Loreal Pinks collection. The shade is No. 175 I Pink You're Cute. It's It's the perfect sheer cotton candy pink. I get so many compliments when I wear this. I feel like this is a shade that would suit a lot of different skin tones as well. The picture below really doesn't do it justice. 




6. What Lipstick did you regret buying?

    This wasn't very hard to answer. I regret buying my Estee Lauder Pure Color Lipstick in Pink Parfait. This is the first and last frost lipstick I will ever spend money on. They just don't look good on me! 



7. What is your Fave Lipstick at the moment?
    That's a really hard one... But I am really loving my Revlon Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya. It's a goregous and really wearable everyday shade but its just... so pretty! :) I love it a lot. 

Sorry for the shadow!
But this pic really doesn't do it justice! It's a beautiful shade!

8. Can you show us a Lipstick you Love?

    Maybelline Color Whisper in Pink Possibilities. This is a beautiful pink shade, but I love the entire line beacuse its a very buildable formula, so you can have a sheer lip or a more bold color, and the product is really weightless.  



9. Most expensive/Cheapest Lipstick in your collection? 

    I belive the most inexpensive lipstick I own is again, my Wet n Wild Shine Finish Lipstick in Cinnamon. If I'm not mistaken these retail for under $1! 

10. Do you Like, Love or Addicted to Lipsticks?
     For me it's just like. Like I said before I'm not as big a lipstick wearer as I am my other lippies.

11. Show a Lipstick that reminds you of someone Special.

     Sorry! I actually can't think of one! 

I hope you guys enjoyed! I had fun making this one :)

Back to School: Tips and Tricks!

For back to school, or anytime in school really, there are always tips and tricks to being successful. I tried to think of tips that covered most if not all grades, so it doesn't matter which one you're going into!

1) Have an Agenda: It's super important to have all your assignments, due dates, instructions, and events all in one place. Many schools provide these for students but if your school doesn't, I recommend having one anyway. They are super helpful and it makes school work so much easier!

2) Get Involved: It's really easy to make new friends, and get closer to teachers, when you join sports, after school activities, and study groups. Especially if you join a group, you share similar interests, so it will be easier to make friends!

3) Stay Organized: Weather it's your back pack, your binder, your locker, or your desk, keep it clean and tidy. You don't want to loose assignments because your disorganized! There are tons of dividers and locker organizers you can use to stay on top of things!

4) Hang with the right Crowd: Don't make friends or be friends with people who will bring you down. I know from person experience! Be friends with the people who value your friendship just as much as you value theirs! And don't be friends with people who will get you into trouble! It's not worth it!

5) When electives are concerned: Everyone wants to take that fun class! It's true. But most of the time you can choose 2 or more electives. So maybe take another class that will get you ahead. Choose an elective that will benefit you later in life and advance you in school and outside of school. For example: Spanish.


Hope I was helpful!

Spotted! E.L.F Display at Walmart

I think it's great E.L.F is expanding and making their products more widely available. Previously, E.L.F was only available at Target. Now, displays and select products are popping up in HEB, CVS, now Walmart, and will eventually be available at Walgreens.

This is the display I spotted at my local Walmart, and may differ from yours. I do not know if E.L.F displays will be available at all Walmart locations or just a select few.









This 4 sided display included both their Essentials and Studio line products. 

I'm excited to see if other locations will start selling E.L.F more permanently! 

What are your thoughts? 
As always I'd love to hear from you!
