Favorite Red Lipsticks

There is nothing like a good red lipstick. Every girl needs that perfect red lip. Here are a few of my favorites.

1.) RAVISHING ROUGE (MAYBELLINE SUPER STAY 14HR LIPSTICK)- A cool tone bright matte red. Super pigmented and does last 14hrs. You might need to use a makeup remover to get it off. Because of its ability to last a long time it can get drying to definitely wear a lip balm under this.
RAVISHING ROUGE

2.)MOULIN ROUGE (MAKEUP FOREVER ROUGE ARTIST INTENSE LIPSTICK)- A vibrant red with a satin finish. This is my perfect red lipstick. It doesn't look too overwhelming and there is a hint of elegance when wearing it. Very saturated in color and doesn't feel overly dry on the lips. 
MOULIN ROUGE

3.) F-BOMB (URBAN DECAY REVOLUTION LIPSTICK)- Classic "bad girl" red. This is basically the classic red lipstick our grandmothers wear but with a kick. A very sexy and edgy red perfect paired with a motorcycle jacket, dark jeans and combat boots. Very hydrating, long-lasting and super creamy. 
F-BOMB

4.) SAIL LA VIE (MAC COSMETICS)- An orangey red with a satin finish. This is a very unique red with a twist. This is for those of you out there who want to be different and a bit bolder.

5.) RUBY WOO (MAC COSMETICS)- Vivid red with a blue undertone and a matte finish. Probably one of the best red lipsticks ever out there. This is what you would call a "little red riding hood" red. Really great for those of you will fair and light skin tones.

Princess Tag

A couple weeks ago I started watching the Princess Tag going around the beauty community on YouTube. It is basically a list of one's favorite high-end products. It could be clothing, beauty, shoes, etc... Most of the videos people chose to do cosmetics so that is what I decided to do in blog form. Here are my favorite "princess" products.

DISCLAIMER: EVERYTHING MENTIONED IN THE POST WAS EITHER PURCHASED BY ME OR GIVEN TO ME BY SOMEONE. ALL OPINIONS AND PHOTOS ARE MY OWN UNLESS STATED. THANK YOU

Foundation:YSL Teint Resist ($60) http://www.amazon.com/Teint-Resist-Transfer-Resistant-Foundation/dp/B0041PGGMG 


A medium to full coverage foundation with a SPF of 10. Feels nice and light on the skin and gives a nice natural looking glow. It has a floral scent with a hint of watermelon. The color range for this foundation isn't the biggest. When I first got this foundation Sephora only had 6 shades. But nice foundation overall if you want a build able coverage.  

Powder: Makeup Forever HD($20-$40 depending on size) http://www.sephora.com/hd-microfinish-powder-P210400?om_mmc=esv103264-GG&om_kwpur=332176159&ppc_crid=26941913537&site=us_search&esvcid=S1383243446_ADOGOe_AGI3733471_CRE26941913537_TID332176159_DVCc_RFDd3d3Lmdvb2dsZS5jb20%3d_RAWbWFrZXVwJTIwZm9yZXZlciUyMGhkJTIwcG93ZGVy



One of the best setting powders out there! It is a super finely milled white setting powder. Great for photography. It doesn't cake on your skin and leaves a flawless finish.

Blush:NARS (All Nars Blushes are $29) http://www.sephora.com/product/productDetail.jsp?keyword=NARS%20Blush%20P2855&skuId=248930&productId=P2855&_requestid=63000 


This particular blush is in the color Desire 


I pretty much am a huge fan of all the NARS blushes. They have a great color range and are EXTREMELY pigmented. A little goes a long way. These blushes are expensive but will last you a lifetime. 

Bronzer: NARS Laguna ($36) http://www.sephora.com/bronzing-powder-P12790?SKUID=537878&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=537878&om_mmc=Google%7badtype%7d&_requestid=42976&cm_mmc=us_search-_-GG-_-%7badtype%7d-_-%7bkeyword%7d



A basic brown bronzer with a little shimmer (however doesn't show up on the skin). It is great for contouring or giving the fact just a bit of color. It isn't muddy or orange like most bronzers and is super easy to blend.


Eyeshadow: Kevyn Aucoin ($58) http://www.barneys.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-BNY-Site/default/Product-Show?pid=00505009473188




Kevyn Aucoin is my all time favorite makeup artist and is also a legend in the beauty industry. His work is flawless so I didn't expect anything less from his makeup line. Pretty much all his makeup is godsend but his eyeshadows are amazing. They are very easy to work with and come in an array of colors. 

Liner: Lancome Art Liner ($14) http://www.lancome-usa.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-lancome_us-Site/default/Product-Show?pid=12230&cm_mmc=Mercent-_-CSE-_-Google-_-Artliner&cm_mmc=LabeliumSearch-_-GooglePE-_-any-_-any&cse=l_google&mr:trackingCode=F84EBB99-F96F-DF11-A0C8-002219318F67&mr:referralID=NA&mr:adType=pla&bookmark=243344 



A felt tip eyeliner that anyone can work with. Super easy to apply and very dark. Lancome also released limited edition color liners throughout the year. 

Eyebrow Pencil: Red Earth Brow Pencil in Dark Ash ($26 purchased in China) 



It may seem ridiculous to spend this much on an eyebrow pencil however if you have sparse or funny looking uneven brows this pencil is pretty much a lifesaver. It lasts a long time without any brow gel and has great color payoff. Eyebrows are very important they frame the face with or without makeup. This pencil is pretty difficult to find in the U.S. 

Mascara: YSL Shocking ($30) http://www.sephora.com/mascara-volume-effet-faux-cils-shocking-voluminous-mascara-for-a-false-lash-effect-P299013?SKUID=1370519&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=1370519&om_mmc=Google%7badtype%7d&_requestid=42976&cm_mmc=us_search-_-GG-_-%7badtype%7d-_-%7bkeyword%7d



One of the best mascaras ever! Super volumizing and makes your lashes look amazing plus it smells like flowers. Only downside is that if you are a beginner I would stay away the brush is a little bit difficult to work with and the formula can get clumpy on your lashes if not applied properly. 

Lip Product: DIOR Addict Lip glosses ($29.50) http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/dior-addict-gloss/3471761?origin=related-3471761-0-3-1-4-RR&PageCategoryId=PP



There are no words to describe these glosses. I have tried so many lip glosses from all different brands and there has been nothing like these. There are super pigmented and gives just enough shine without looking fake and they aren't sticky at all.
