Hell yes I can wear RED! Sally Hansen Moist & Matte Liquid Color in Charmeuse

For years I stayed away from Reds... Even after going to school for makeup and learning about blue reds & yellow reds, I still didn't budge.

BUT......

I'll be 25 in next month so time to try new things!

This is Sally Hansen Moist & Matte Liquid Color in Charmeuse.

I got this for a dollar in Dollar Tree. Yup only a dollar.

Here's a swatch of the lipstick on my lips!

- classic matte look
- moisturizing formula makes lips velvety soft

I'm in love.. Honestly. Perfect Red lip for a NW45 skintone.

Do you wear reds?

My April Favorites

From left to right:

1.  Ecotools is a eco friendly product that is inexpensive. This is from the 6 piece brush kit. The blush brush is super soft & good for the environment :)
2.  Maybelline XXL 24 hour mascara. This mascara builds volume on my lashes and lasts a long time without flaking on my lower lid. 
3. Mac Lustre Drops in Sun Rush. The ultimate highlighter for EVERY skintone. This is a peachy bronze with gold pearl.. gorg!
4. Maybelline Studio Gel Liner in Blackest Black. This is amazing! The staying power is crazy, I use mine as a base. I kid you not I can go through a whole day without it budging! Wooo
5. Balmshell Lipgloss in Shopaholic. Super fab & Canadian! Click Here to read my previous review.

  Have you tried any of these products before?

FOTD + Annabelle Volumelip Lip Plumping Gloss Review

This look is pretty simple but Fab in other words.. sexy librarian...joking:

Annabelle smudgeliner in Ohmygoth!
Marcelle Volume Precision Mascara in black
Annabelle Volumelip Lip Plumping Gloss in Cherryoke

I was recently sent two Annabelle Volumelip Lip Plumping Glosses to try out!

• The lighter color is Sweet Tweet and the darker color is Cherryoke. 
• The applicator is clear and slanted. 
• The tube is hard, so pushing out the product is difficult. (But they currently are changing the tube..woo!)
• The consistency was not thick but moisturizing.
• 5 vibrant different shades.

Annabelle Volume Lip Plumping Gloss in Cherryoke is the lip swatch shown here.

I love it because it's the color of my glasses :) Also it out of my comfort zone... aka not a clear gloss or neutral nude.

If your a WOC who is lost at finding lip shades try a berry tone like this one. Berry tones can easily enhance your complexion!

 The other gloss Cherry Tweet is to light for me.  I could either mix it with Cherryoke or use it as a highligher on my lips.

Overall I like these glosses but I would stick to the dark shades in the collection like Metro Mango, Cherryoke or Vivid Volume. Click here to check out the shades.

I was sent these products to review by Annabelle/Marcelle cosmetics.

I was unable to attend the Brian Bailey Cosmetics launch in April but I was sent a kit to try out some of the items.
FOTD:

I used the eyeshadow duo in caramel & lipgloss. As you can tell by the FOTD the eyeshadow is very neutral. 


Perfect for an everyday or office eyes. The colors are matte.There is some fallout when I picked up the shadow but that is a given with matte shadows.


The lip gloss is light nude pinky nude. The consistency is great! Not sticky or thick. There is no smell.

The beauty tool kit brushes are amazing quality. Made from soft goat hair and synthetic hair to provide flawless application.


The kit comes with:
