Ruby Red

Happy Valentines Day!!! I hope you guys have an amazing day with your loved ones. To those who are not celebrating Valentines Day I hope you enjoy your Friday. I never celebrated Valentines Day either until I met my one true love. So corny haha.. I did this fun glittery red lips for you guys. I really loved how the glitter gave that metallic look. I gotta warn you guys this post is kinda pic heavy with that being said hope you guys enjoy this glittery lips.

LIP

- Mac Cherry Lip Liner

- Mac Ruby Woo Lipstick

- Giorgio Armani Rouge d'Armani 400 Lipstick

- Red Glitter ( from a craft store )

Line your lips with a red lip liner ( Mac Cherry lip liner ). Then apply a matte red lipstick ( Mac Ruby Woo lipstick). Then apply a creamy red lipstick ( Armani Rouge d'Armani 400 lipstick ) which will help adhere the glitter. Now pack on the red glitter ( craft glitter ) and its OK if you make any mistake you can clean it up with some concealer once you do that you are all done!

Now its time for some chit chat .. Who's ready for spring? I know I'm, I guess we have a to wait a little longer. For now I'm indulging in some spring makeup collections. For instance this adorable Clinique new cheek pop blush.

 I think I'm the last one to purchase this product. I tried to look the other way but it didn't work. Nowadays social medias are such a enabler I tell you but I'm glad I purchase this though cause its an amazing blush. Many of you might not know this but I started  my beauty adventure with this brand. I will do a review on these blush once I receive the other three. I also decided to rotate my makeup every week so I can try and use up some of the makeup I have in my collection. I rediscovered my Inglot eye shadows and it seems to me i can't put them down. Which means more makeup looks are on it's way.

Lilac Meets Lavender

Hey loves this is the third and last Valentines Day look that I created for you guys. For this look I wanted to use soft colors so the colors lavender and lilac came to mind. I wanted a wearable look so I kept it pretty simple. I skipped lashes for this look but if you want you can add some falsies. I also wanted to keep the skin really dewy. Mac's lustre drops added that perfect glow to the skin. I was having some trouble with the lighting it was a gloomy day.  Hope you like this look and try it out =)

YSL ROUGE VOLUPTÉ Lipstick Beige Ultimate

YSL ROUGE VOLUPTÉ Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick SPF15
Beige Ultimate #3
Price: $35.00
Size: 0.12 oz
Where To Purchase: Sephora

The packaging is so sleek and luxe. Golden tubes and the YSL logo layered beautifully over the shade. I think the packaging was the reason i bought this lipstick at first which later turned into a favorite. Beige Ultimate is described as a mauve taupe color. This is a perfect peachy nude for me, my mac shade reference would be NC40-42. This color is very pretty and flattering on medium to tan skin ladies. YSL lipsticks are described as " extremely smooth and creamy lipstick with a formula that transforms into a fluid veil of radiant color when it touches the lips". These lipsticks are exactly what YSL claims it to be they glide on like butter. It averages about 4-5 hours of wear on me. There is a sweet citrus fragrance to it. These lipsticks are super glossy and moisturizing the pigmentation is just amazing.

Heavily Swatched 

Overall:

Like I mentioned I purchased this lipstick cause of the beautiful packaging but I immediately fell in love and purchased a few more. Even though its not long wearing I'm willing to overlook this con. Beige Ultimate was my very first YSL lipstick purchase. I've never experienced any formula like this. I'm willing to pay $35 bucks for a tube its totally worth it.
