Lip Pics

As we all know, I've been working on getting decent pics of my lips to include with the FOTDs. These are one's I took yesterday. I'm wearing NYX Round Lipstick in Femme and Maybelline Shiny-licious in Coral Punch. Exactly matches my nails today, btw. These are actually excellent pix. You can see the colors really well, even the gold shimmer in the lips! So, tell me which pic you like best.

Estee Lauder All Day Lipstick in Twinkle Pink

Really quick note on this lipstick:

Estee Lauder All Day Lipstick in Twinkle Pink

I got it for free when I went to the Blockbuster Makeover Event. I love it!

Awesomeness #1- It EXACTLY matches my hair color! Holy Crap! I love it!
Awesomeness #2- Stays on like heck. I just ate dinner and I can still feel it on my lips. And it's not like I just had something simple. I had pasta, people. And it stayed on.
Awesomeness #3- Even when I can't feel it on anymore, I can still see the lipstick color pretty darn well. Stains my lips a bit. I really like that. I hate having to reapply.


Okay, that's all for now. I'm going to go to Waffle House with some buds.

Guest Review: N.Y.C. Ultra Last Lip Color

N.Y.C. Ultra Last Lip Color Review
by LadyTiffanyAnne

At a Hollywood themed party, I received a gift bag filled with fun little goodies. Among other things, the bag contained a bottle of N.Y.C. nail polish in Purple Pizazz Frost. New York Color is a brand of cosmetics that is generally off my radar. I rarely glance at the N.Y.C section in the cosmetics department and only do so when I need a cheap lip gloss or black eyeliner. The nail polish was fairly decent, though, and so, when I was on a hunt for lip stick, I decided to give N.Y.C. a chance. After realizing that most lip stick runs for a minimum of $5.00 a tube, I wanted cheaper options. This would be my first foray into the world of lip stick since...well...since I don't know when. I'm a lip gloss kinda girl and didn't want to waste ten dollars on a couple of tubes of something I might end up hating. I ended up purchasing N.Y.C. Ultra Last Lip Color in "Caramel".

First, I must say I was surprised. I actually liked it. It's a good lipstick. But, really, isn't that like saying Sarah Palin did good in the VP debate? Well, I had low expectations and the lipstick didn't completely fail or embarrass me. So...it's good. I cannot compare it to a nice lipstick because, well, I have no experience with nice lipstick. But as a stand alone review, this "ultra last lip color" indeed lasted--albeit with a bit of fading--for some hours until I had a spaghetti lunch. No surviving that. It wasn't dry. It didn't flake off. It had decent staying power.

The color? I love it. It isn't aptly named, though, because it looks nothing like caramel. Maybe more of a shimmery cafe au lait--not that the name really matters. I'm vary careful of the colors I choose because I don't want to look like a fool. This lipstick makes me feel pretty and, really, isn't that why we wear makeup in the first place?
