NYX Cosmetics Liquid Suede Metallic Liquid Lipstick in Pure Society

Hey guys! I really need to stop promising to regularly update this blog because with how crazy, unpredictable, horrible, and lovely life has been for the past few months I've continued to need to focus on myself and my future which consequently has left little physical or mental time for this blog.  However things have been a bit better lately and as a result....here is an update! From now on the only thing I can promise is that I haven't forgotten about this little project and I will continue to bring you updates on makeup whenever I am able.

Amazingly an Ulta has opened in my tiny rural hometown which of course required a visit.  One of the items I picked up was one of NYX's new liquid suede metallic liquid lipsticks. 

I chose the color pure society because, well, look at it! This shade is an absolutely gorgeous metallic berry and I am so in love.  When I put this one I feel like this color was made for me.  It goes so well with my skin and the metallic effect is purely magical.  However while this color is beautiful....DO NOT EAT WITH THIS ON.  Oh my goodness, I had a breakfast sandwich while wearing this and I ended up with berry lipstick everywhere except on my lips.  It was on my chin, my nose, my sandwich, and all around my mouth. It was a mess.....

I honestly wasn't expecting this to happen as it does not transfer when kissing your hand but add the tiniest bit of oil into the equation and this lipstick is destroyed.

Overall I love this color and I love the price, I am just severely limited in when I can wear it as it cannot involve eating of any kind.

Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip in Dopey and Cheap Thrills

Hey! First actual review post in waaaaayyyy too long! I thought it fitting to do this review on some products that I use almost daily.  I fell in love with colourpop quite some time ago when I tried out their eyeshadows and their ultra matte lipsticks.

So today I will be sharing with you two ultra matte lips: Cheap Thrills and Dopey, plus a bonus swatch of one of their eyeshadows in Girl Crush!

Cheap Thrills is a ridiculously lovely matte mauvey purple.  I wear this when I was something a bit more muted but am feeling a bit more adventurous.  It is just purple enough to turn heads but not too intense that it is work inappropriate.  This will last through drinking and most meals however anything too greasy will result in some fading, so bring it with if you plan to grab a greasy breakfast sandwich before work! As you can probably tell from the product picture, the silver on the packaging will get scratched off if you frequently toss your products in your purse or travel bag.  This doesn't bother me but it may bother some.

Dopey is my new everyday lipstick.  It is my current My Lip But Way Better shade right now.  If I am just throwing on some quick powder foundation and mascara this is what I will probably be throwing on my lips as well.  Additionally this tends to be my go to when I do more intense eye looks.  Its staying power is pretty much the same as Cheap thrills, perhaps a little better.

And here is the eyeshadow I have on in the two previous pictures.  This has become my everyday eyeshadow as well, whether I put it on all by itself or I use it as a base for more interesting looks, I have already hit pan on this baby. It is a gorgeous matte greyish taupe color.  I love it for my cool pinkish toned skin.

The best thing about Colourpop though has to be the price.  Their Ultra Matte Lips are $6 and their shadows are $5 and they are almost always running some kind of deal or discount.  I really can't recommend this brand enough.

One Year Two Months Eleven Days

Wow.  

Hello anyone that is still out there.

I can't believe it has been over a year since I lasted updated this blog.  A lot has happened in the past year and I won't lie, it hasn't been the greatest.  2016 was pretty terrible for me.  I lost my rat, my cat, my income, my 2+ year relationship, and my happiness when I slowly fell into depression.

But don't worry everyone, I am doing so much better now.  2017 has been depression free and even though I still don't have an income I do have an end in sight for completing my Master's degree and finally getting out into the workforce.  I also have a cute guy that managed to unexpectedly squeeze his way into my life who makes me laugh more than I thought possible.

See look I'm still alive and doing makeup!

I thought perhaps it would be fun to do an update on my life post starting from when I left you all. Which I am so sorry about by the way....Since I am now in a much better place I hope to update once a week if I can.  I am still extremely busy finishing up my research and writing my thesis, but doing this blog always made me so happy and when I left I had a few messages asking if I'd ever be back...so I can't let those few people down! Here I am!
