Essence Lipliner - 10 Femme Fatale

20130818-201621.jpg
I thought MUA lip liners were great. Well, they are but the Essence ones are just wow. It's creamy, super easy to glide on. Comes in a range of shades, but I choose 10 Femme Fatale, which is a bright red with a hint of orange tone. The color is super pretty, I wish they still have the lipstick, but I can never find it.
I am suddenly in love with red, so I started with lip liner. I figure if you use red lipstick, you will need a red liner anyway. So I just use it all over my lips. It looks quite drying. It is a tad. I should have use a balm before hand. Anyway when I put a clear gloss over it, it just become a glossy red lip gloss. It's super pretty and pigmented. Like obviously cause I cover my whole lips with the liner. But ya, it's just so lovely. I am afraid to move my lips as I don't want the color to disappear.

I highly recommend Essence lip liners. It's just so good and really inexpensive. That is the best part, as it's only $2.50. I have a high end lip liner and it dry on me. Therefore a good drugstore one is probably the best.

One way you can use lip liner is with another lipstick of a different color. Line your lips. Use another color to fill in the lips. Press your lips together, and move it around in a forward and backward motion. Well, you know what I mean. And..

Viola, you have ombré lips. It's not a really obvious one, but I use a nude shade lipstick to fill it in. The colors on the picture wash it out too. in real life, its pretty, I promise. Oh make sure the lipstick is super creamy, so they blend well together.

This is in the shade 201, creamy and a hint of light milky pink. I like that it is pretty, but the shade doesn't really suit me. What I like best is that they can engrave your name on the packaging. So it is pretty.

A red blush looks really intimidating on the box but I picked this up cause I want something different for my collection. It's just a cardboard box kind of packaging, secured with magnet, so it's really simple. It's quite big and like all baked product, it's dome in shape. So it's actually quite bulky. I wouldn't bring it for travel that's for sure. The color payoff is good, but instead of red it's more pink. You can use it sparingly and it will be lighter or you can pack on the color which will gives you a really bright pink. In fact, if lightly dust over your cheek it is more coral than pink. It has tiny specks of shimmer, but it doesn't show. I can't remember how much I bought this for but it wasn't expensive. It's not my favorite blush, but I find myself reaching for it a lot. So that's something isn't?
