I am completely obsessed with the color play mascara. I have been pairing it with smokey eyes and nude lips. I also purchased quite a few of their body pigments powders and I have yet to try them.  I will post a review as soon as I check them out. They come in everything from hot pink to soft champagne shades.  They are also available in matte and pearl.

Girly Glosses for Saucy Summer Lips

Raspberry Splash & Blushing Berry

Ok call my lip obsessed but I have been having fun picking out some new shades lately. My last post focused on Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetic's Lip Tar. On my weekly rounds at CVS I came across some sexy glosses by L'oreal. Proving that you do not have to break the bank to look good. They were have a buy one get one half off sale on these saucy shades and I could not resist.  They are in the pink tones but because they are a gloss you can apply them light or heavier. They would pair very well with bronzed skin and light eyes. A very resort chic look. Make sure you grab a matte bronzer for this look or you will wind up looking shimmery from the bronzer and the gloss and that kind of defeats the whole chic look. A good bronzer to try is Stila's sun Bronzing powder in shade 2, or Rimmel's Sun Shimmer in Medium.  Then apply the bronzer to the crease or socket area of your eye as well. Contour your face with bronzer. Apply in an E shape from the top to the middle of your nose down to your chin. Then curl your lashes and add mascara. Add these glosses and perhaps a quick pop of pink blush on the apples only of your cheeks and you are ready to go! The look should be similar to Freida Pinto's below.  Classy, Simple and sexy.

Obsessed with Obsessive Compulsive Lip Tar

Last weekends IMATS LA haul included a must have product absent from my bag back in NYC.  Obsessive Compulsive's iconic Lip Tar.  I picked up five of these babies on my recent visit to IMATS Los Angeles. They go on strong and stay on long. I believe I have just created a new Lip Tar slogan. :) But seriously, if you are looking for a lipstick in a lipgloss package then this is your new friend. It applies thick and glossy and dries to a satin finish. I had to elbow my way to the front of the line to grab a few pink shades for my bridal makeup kit.  From left to right I have ...

Tone, Hush, Memento, & Narcissus

These can be applies with your fingertips or your favorite lip brush. You can amp up the look of these pink tones by adding a colored gloss or clear one. Or take it down a notch by blotting with a tissue and giving it a matte feel. Either way you will be able to kiss your way to colorful lips that won't wear off after the first smooch.
