Kissable Kolors

For me nothing says spring like a colorful lip. Bright pinks, peaches and corals, lip gloss, lipstick or lip stain. All can help create a beautiful lip. Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Pink Pop is one of my favorites. It can only be described as the perfect hot pink. And Bare Minerals Lip Gloss in Sangria cannot be underestimated. This is a gorgeous color that is semi-nude with undertones of pink and gold and mauve. It's is probably my all time favorite lip gloss. These are only two of hundreds of thousands of shades available.

With spring here, we are entering a world of bright, colorful fashion and picnics at the river or an outside BBQ with 20 of your closest friends. No girl should leave home without a beautiful and colorful lip. Whether you chose high end or drug store the spring lip colors have arrived!!

Wet 'n Wild Trio

This past year I have re-discovered the Wet 'n Wild brand. I find that their makeup is high quality and low cost. The eye shadows are creamy and extremely pigmented. They go on smooth with no difficulty, and blend wonderfully. They have a large color selection with lovely palette combinations. While they do come in trio's they do not have to be used that was, I often don't. My personal favorite trio is "Silent Treatment." It is my go to easy look that I have been reaching for in the morning.

Stila-dream in full color palette

This is by far one of my favorite palettes, especially for travel. This palette has 29 eye shadows both shimmery and matte, dark and light. When I travel I can create a neutral, smokey or colorful looks. On the outer boarder of the palette are 6 blushes and a bronzer. The formulas of the shadows, blushes and bronzer are wonderful. They are almost creamy with little to no fallout. I do recommend adding this palette to any makeup collection.

Simple

On my most recent trip to the drug store, I found a new skin care line. It is called Simple. They claim to be sensitive skin experts. After my first use of the day cream moisturizer I was hooked. Their products have no perfumes or dyes to irritate the skin. Their products all have sunscreen, which is so important for the long term health of your skin. The cream is rich but not to think that it will breakdown your foundation. As i have mentioned before I have very dry skin, but with this product it is easily managed without becoming too oily and my face stays moisturized all day.Since using Simple Day Cream, I can boast an even complexion and smooth, healthy skin. An an added bonus Simple products are made in America. I highly recommend at least trying a product in this line. They are very reasonably priced and well worth the money.

Ravishing Reds

I find that there is always the perfect shade of red lipstick for any occasion. The first swatch is the Kate Moss limited edition Rimmel lasting finish #01. This is a very creamy red. I wear this color when I go out at night. In jeans or a dress it is perfect! The next color is Dior Celebrity Red #999. This is your perfect "fire engine red." This is a perfectly bright, matte red that is beautiful in the spring. Next is Revlon lip butter in "Red Velvet." This is not just a beautiful deep red. It is also a moisturizing lip balm. Rimmel Lasting Finish in "Alarm" is a more affordable version of Dior "Celebrity Red." Perfect for a spring picnic. NYC "Sheer Red" is hands down my favorite red. In my opinion it is the most wearable. It is absolutely beautiful on any skin shade. It wears off just as well. Sephora lipstick in #8031A is a lovely creamy night time red. Finally, Dior "Serum De Rouge #840" is a hybrid red and pink. For someone that is cautious about wearing reds this is a beautiful mix of pink and red. I love to wear this with a bright spring outfit. This is the best time of year for red lips whether matte or shiny, bright or deep, there is a red lip shade that is perfect for everyone.

Makeup Forever HD Foundation

I generally don't like to spend $40 on a foundation. I kept hearing amazing reviews about Makeup Forever HD Foundation and decided to give it a try. The packaging boasts flawless coverage and a natural finish.

The product feels light and almost non-existent. I would say that the coverage is medium to full. (full coverage usually feels heavy...and looks like it to) though the product is build-able for more full coverage without the caky appearance. It is very easy to blend into the skin. The foundation holds its coverage for at least 12 hours. I highly recommend this product. I feel that it was very much worth the $40 it costs at Sephora.

EOS-Evolution of Smooth Review

About a month ago I had seen the EOS lip balms in Ulta and thought that they sounded interesting, so I decided to try them out. I have been using only the lip balms for the past month and I notice a difference in the way that my lips feel. Living in Boise in the dry winter leaves my lips so chapped. Using this product for the last month, my lips feel moisturized and very healthy. I like to put it on before bed and when I wake up and the change in my lips is wonderful. While some lip balms seem greasy and leave a bad taste in your mouth, these do not. They feel just as a lib balm should and taste/smell exactly like the flavor indicated. My personal favorite is the "honeysuckle honeydew." The unique shape of the product, make it so easy to locate at the bottom of my purse. I have become addicted! I keep 1 by my bed, 1 in my bathroom, 1 in my car, 1 in my purse and 2 on my desk at work. This is definitely a favorite lip product of mine.

P.S I hope you like the photo. I just got a new app on my iPhone called "Pic Collage" and just had to try it out :)
