AVON Extra Lasting Lipstick in Ravishing Rose

 
    What a nice surprise from AVON! This is a gorgeous brick red color that STAYS on  pretty good!
    
    I put it on around noon after lunch and it lasted until late night. It has a satin finish and very creamy. Smooth application and get this: NOT drying. That is pretty awesome to me! It feels very comfortable too. I think its beautiful and a perfect formulation for a long lasting lipstick.

  The packaging is cute but not something extraordinary. It has a nice sweet scent too. Not candy like, I can't really tell exactly but it is nice and not overpowering.

 It goes for about $10 normally but right now it is on special for $5.99. That is not a bad price for a lipstick like this - if not I would say it is under-priced. I am going to get a few more colors because it is a great everyday lipstick.

I think it is worth giving this a try,

Milani HD Advanced Lip Color - 111 Cotton Candy

   
    This one is a very shimmery/frosty baby pink. The packaging is beautiful and sleek.It reminds me of the Dior Rouge Serum ones. If you look at them, with the distinction that they have different stamp design they are the same. I don't know about the actual products similarities but I am def. going to get one from Dior to see now :-)

      The Milani HD has a nice candy scent. Its not that long lasting though because it is more like a lip butter or balm more than a lipstick but it is moisturizing. I personally really like it. I have purchased three backups because in the summer time it looks very nice on a tanned skin. 

   It goes for about $10 at CVS. I think that they are retiring them though :-( because I found some at the Dollar store and I bought all of them. hehe ... So, look for them there because they are $1!  It looks like Milani has made changes to allot of their products as I discovered recently. I hope they will keep the liquify eyeliner because it is one of my absolute favorites. 

   So if you like shimmery lip balms give this one a try :-)

MARY KAY NouriShine plus lip gloss in Fancy Nancy

  This lip gloss kinda reminds me of Nars super orgasm:-) It is a sheer pink with gold shimmer finish. You can see the gold sparkles inside but it is not gritty in on the lips. It feels light and comfortable. Not greasy at all and NOT STICKY - that is one of my peeves with glosses!!! Also the aloe vera extract is a plus for me It is very, very pretty!
GIVE IT A TRY!

This is a gorgeous peachy milky nude color that looks so beautiful on any skin tone! Its very creamy and dreamy -:) haha I went back and forth with this one thinking should I keep it, should I not ,but in the end I kept it and now I love IT!

     I bought it and then forgot about it! I re-discovered it last week when I was looking for a nude, to complement a dark smokey eye! Ta-daaaa ! lol I looked at it and said: Oh, what was I thinking ...? Flashback!!! but then when I applied it - IT IS so smooth and so nice I became obsessed with it! YaY what a turn around! lol

CHANEL Rouge COCO Shine in Parfait #74

    Pink with gold shimmer! This is a very sheer lipstick but somehow not colorless like some cheap ones. It will give your lips that youthful look. The color still showed even being sheer! Just perfect for summer! Oh yeah ... smells divine too, to me it's kinda like honey.

Lancome Rouge In Love 6 Hour Wear in color 217M - DELICATE LACE

COLOR - a very discrete brownish neutral. 
SCENT - It has no scent
CONSISTENCY - its very light going on the lips, you can barely tell is there.
FINISH - The letter M next to the number stands for Jolis Matin (morning, day shades - subtle and soft). They all have that precious mother‑of‑pearls in them so they are not matte but not frosty. Its more like a glaze finish with potent color.
TIME TABLE -I would say it did last pretty good around 6h seems accurate.
PRICE - $26 - not too bad for high end.
PACKAGING -  beautiful, so luxurious!
