Lip Monthly May 2016

Lip Monthly May 2016

This is only the second month I have gotten a Lip Monthly subscription.  Last month April 2016 I was so unimpressed that I thought I unsubscribed but I guess I didn't because I got another bag this month May 2016.   I will admit, I am glad I didn't cancel because I was truly impressed with this month's bag.  

Lip Monthly sends you mainly lip products except for one product that is NOT a lip product. This month we got a fantastic Jor'el Parker mud mask.  It smells good to me, but I am a mask-oholic so it does not take much to impress me with mud mask.  Is that a word mask-oholic? *laughs*.  It is a gross green but the benefits totally out ways the color.  

We got three lip products: the first one is by Dirty Little Secret which I have never heard of before. The lipstick goes on soft and creamy and was not drying at all. As you have heard me say many times I have started applying a loose powder over my lipstick to make it last even longer.  So when I wore this lipstick it lasted all day.  I am actually wearing it in my YouTube Video. I am very impressed with the color pigmentation.

Another lip product we got is So Susan-Jello Shot.. it is an all natural product that has the lasting power like nothing I have seen.  It takes a very long time for the color to disappear.  I have seen some reviews that talked about this color dried pinkish on them.. for me it is more of a coral color. Regardless, it stains your lips no doubt! 

The third lipstick we got is by Manna and not only was the color a beautiful plum color it is also a stain that last for a long time.  The formula is creamy and your lips do not dry out at all. The color is very pigmented and the formula does not go on patchy.

Here is something I have learned... although I was not happy with Lip Monthly last month, and actually thought I cancelled my subscription but did not, I am actually I didn't. So my lesson learned with makeup subscriptions is at least try to stick with them two-three months.. because you never know until what theme they will have next month!

Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks

Armageddon-Carnation Pink

Kat Von D, One of my favorite Lipsticks

I have loved Kat Von D's Everlasting Liquid Lipstick for a while now. They never seem to let me down. I know once I put them on, they will stay, they are never heavy and hard on my lips.  Sometimes, you can wear a long-wearing lipstick and your lips feel like you have an anchor tied to them, not to mention they dry out and crack! Not these liquid lipsticks, they are fantastic!!

I believe she has about 28 different shades, anywhere from light to extremely dark and vampy!!  Each lipstick is long-wear, full coverage, great pigmentation, and never drying to your lips. My favorite part, each color dries matte. These liquid lipsticks are infused with vitamin E and sunflower seed-if you have never tried any of these lipsticks, you need to put it on your list of things to get. I can almost promise you will love them!

Six of my favorite shades.  Just ordered Lolita-2 which is a Terra Cotta color

Springtime Lips

Springtime Lips

Springtime is the south, is almost like summer. But still in the spirit of spring along comes new clothes, new makeup, and of course new LIP colors!!

So you wonder....if you are use to wearing nothing but rich, dark, bold colors, and you try to do a transformation into light, soft spring colors, where in the world do you start?

To be very honest with me, it actually started out experimenting with nude lips. I know, I know... it was a little hard for me honestly. The first time I tried putting on a nude lip, I kept messing it with and soon ended up with one of my dark, rich, bold color lips. So what I did was I did a nude lip, hurried and took a photo and posted it online to get people's opinion. No, I am not the type to seek out approval or ask permission.. opinions can be good sometimes if presented the correct way.  Once I did my nude lip and posted it, I got a good response and all leaned towards the nude coloring. After playing with nude shades for a long time (it seems) I am now a Nude Colored person.

After the nude colors, I wanted to add a softness, and what better represents softness than pink tones. This has really been a fun for me because I do like pink a lot. BUT I will always and forever be a matte girl so LASplash's RoseGarden velvet was perfect for me! So after playing and falling in love with several different pink shades....

I wanted to really go out there and tried some coral colors!! Okay, I really like the corals, but I also love red lip-color as long as it has a yellow undertone.. red lipstick with blue undertones looks terrible with my complexion.  So yeah... I think springtime lip colors has bloomed in my collection.. want to see more?

What are you favorite springtime lips.. have a photo? Post it below and share!!!
