Creamy and Delicious.

Originally I bought this color to use for a show I was in that took place in the 1940's. I was a little concerned about the color at first because it looks a bit dull. I tried it out a few times before opening night just to check and make sure that it was the right color and would last for an hour with almost constant singing and speaking. Wow. Just wow. I absolutely love this lipstick. It's rich and creamy, and smells like cherries! It moisturized my lips as well as kept them a beautiful true pin-up girl red. this is a matte finish lipstick, though it has a bit of a shimmer to it when it's applied, so to kick it up a notch I paired it with Trucco's Divynals lip gloss in Firecracker (which unfortunately has been discontinued *sadface*) which made it an ultra sexy shiny color. I was really really surprised at this lipstick, even on it's own lasted ages without needing to be touched up (about 6-8 hours) and stayed a true red without cracking or smudging or bleeding. Though to be fair I did use a concealer pencil to go around the outside of my lips (then blended it out really well) which helps the perfect red lip. The texture, the smell the length and color pigmentation on this is amazing. Even (like I said) alone it has lasting power and looks amazing if you like a nice matte lip. Even with just a clear gloss (I use the Jane Plumping Clear Gloss sometimes) it looks amazing. I highly recommend this color if you're into a really sexy fiery red lip. I don't know about any of the other colors because I haven't had a chance to pick up any more, though the price is good too. I think mine was around $4.00 CAD in Shoppers Drugmart which is a great price for a product that works so very well. You get a good amount of product too, at 4grams and the packaging is pretty cute too. So go go go and purchase! It's definitely worth investing in a few of these. Btw this is me wearing the color with hair all done for the show. Hubby demanded photos because he loves the pinup style makeup so much.

Love it.

I would like to talk about my most favorite eyeshadow in the world. It's by E.L.F, and it is a loose mineral eyeshadow, I adore all of E.L.F's products the quality is amazing, and the price is perfect. Shipping is super fast, and if you live in the US/Canada I know some stores carry some of the pallets, in the US Target carries some E.L.F stuff, and in Canada they sell it at Zellers. Anyway, the color I am talking about is called Earthy. It is a a really shimmer pale greeny gold color. I've seen greeny gold colors in other lines but not one this shimmery or as pale. I prefer pale greens to darker ones, just as a personal preference, and this color is just incredible. The other E.L.F mineral pot colors are also amazing but earthy is my favorite. One of my most favorite things to do with Earthy is to mix it with clear coat nail polish and paint my nails. It dries into a metallic green and the gold really really pops. (photos bellow) I love the way this looks on my nails, it reminds me of dragon scales it's so shimmery and shiney and green. The pros of this color/product are endless, the payoff with minimal amount of product is amazing, the texture is very soft and fluffy, and if you happen to get a bit in your eye it doesn't burn or itch. The cons though, if you're debating ordering the Mineral Eyeshadows from E.L.F is that shipping is a bit pricey, and fallout is a bit of a concern, but a quick sweep with a fluffy face brush deals with that just fine. Another con I supose is that there aren't a load of colors, and the ones that they do have are very natural sort of neutral colors, I really really hope that they release some more vibrant fun colors in the future though. I totally recomend the E.L.F mineral colors for anyone who is new or a veteran to makeup, they are so easily blended and have awesome lasting wear, especially with the E.L.F mineral primer. And I mean come on, where else can you find Mineral eyeshadow that has all the positive qualities of the E.LF ones for 3 dollars...nowhere, thats where!

So next time you're in the mood to buy some new shadows, definitely go with the E.L.F Minerals, and give out this beautiful pale goldy-green color a shot.
