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.

      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.
