Red lipstick Challenge

Hi Beauties, In my quest to get more women to wear red lipstick I picked up two reds that were complete opposites, both from Revlon and can be found in any drugstore or walmart. I love Revlon lipsticks because you get the quality you'd expect from a higher end brand for a drug store price. And one of their spokespersons in none other than Ms. Halle Berry. At Shoppers's Drugmart I picked up Really Red which is a Matte bright Orangey Red. I love this colour with animal print or I can see it with a jade or bright green outfit. It's on the matte side so its not too creamy and I think any one who is brave enough can pull off this colour. If you are on the lighter side, it might be a bit bright when you first put it on but wearing red is all about confidence. To tone it down a bit you could always wear a darker red or brown lip liner underneath. This has become Mo's favourite new lip colour.  You can see her wearing it here Mo wearing "Really Red" .  The second one I got was on the darker side called "Black Cherry" and it looks just like that. Its a Super Lustrous Creme lipstick so it goes on creamy and smooth. In pics it looks more red than it does in person. This is perfect for women who want to wear a deeper more toned down red lipstick- the not so brave ones lol. Both lipsticks were on sale for $6.99 each.

I am challenging you to go out and try either or a red lipstick that you've been wanting to try. Send me pics pls. Remember my red win-free-lipstick.

REALLY RED- I am wearing it right now and its a lil bit drying so you would want to make sure your lips are super moisturized.

BLACK CHERRY

Go out and find your perfect red ladies!

Caught without makeup

Hi Beauties,


So I began thinking today about how comfortable would I be to go out without makeup- makeup in this case being anything at all from grooming my brows to clear lip gloss? Would I be comfortable going out in public au naturale? Would I be OK with showing the world my acne scars, my blotchiness and hyper-pigmentation, my breakouts, my dark circles under my eyes, my bushy eyebrows, my very straight eye lashes, my chapped lips, my cheeks without contouring and my oily skin? I was never one of the girls who never showed my boyfriend how I look without makeup- in fact he tells me how cute I look without it most of the times when I think about it. I've heard guys say they've never seen some girls without makeup but honestly I have to be comfortable with you enough also that I know you are going to judge me. Not that I care what people think anyway but hey I am human. I am OK with how I look without makeup but I do everything I can to enhance my natural assets. The fact is makeup is there to enhance what you already have. You don't use makeup to feel beautiful because you already are- inside and out. I take time out every day when I get home and take off the clothes, the jewelry and the makeup, hair all messed up and I look in the mirror and smile at myself.  What I will show the world however are my full lips, my round cheeks, my big beautiful eyes and my smile and makeup of course brings all of these out. I was looking at some pics of celebs without makeup like Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, Halle and Rihanna. Trust me these celebs have the best makeup artists and products known to man but beneath the surface, beneath the bronzer and foundation and blush- they look just like us normal/ real women. They suffer from the same "beauty" issues like us regulars. They have oily skin, pimples, dark circles just like me and you. I mean I've seen Alicia Keys doing a proactiv ad because she suffers from bad acne. Made me feel a little bit better (that's because she is one of my bf's celeb crushes). So here are a few of our favourite beauty icons without makeup, maybe it might make some of you feel better about your skin issues and for those who don't really care.... well we all are fascinated with the lives of celebs so who are we fooling here.


But I think I'll stick to my normal routine- most days I rock maybe a bright lip or neutral shadow with black liquid liner but keep everything else minimal. After all my lips and eyes are some of my best assets. So forget what people say or think about makeup- DO YOU! If you like going au naturale like Joy whatsherface( the model chick) then do you, if you are a glam diva like Beyonce or Rhianna then do you!
