First is the lipstick. It's called "M.A.C. Red" (A23) and is part of the Satin collection. It goes on so smoothly. It's soft and insanely pigmented. Which is great to have in a red lipstick. All the reviews I have read say it's really long lasting but I haven't had those results. If I eat anything it ends up a gross mess and most all that is left is the liner. Which yes, I understand it's not like a permanent thing but I expected it to hold a bit better than that. I think I need to try some new application tips though and maybe that will help. But the color is great and creamy. It's a nice solid red.
Along with the lipstick I had to buy a lip liner as well to make it look nicer and give it more of a defined line. I bought the lip pencil in Cherry (A13) This has been great. This is the first lip liner I have ever used but it's easy to apply and lasts longer than the lipstick does which is nice as it saves time when re applying. Just a touch up needed here or there. The color is great with the lipstick above and it's just overall a really nice lip liner. I strongly recommend it.
I also wanted to show you guys my absolutely favorite mascara. It's Benefit's Bad Gal Lash. I've been using this for about 3 months maybe and I just fell in love the very first time I used it. It never clumps, it's a great dark black, and it has never flaked off or smudged for me unlike some other mascaras I've tried. I just think it goes on really well and the brush is quite nice. Gives lots of volume to your lashes. It's just overall a really great mascara and it's not insanely expensive at $19.
The next thing I have is a lipstick I got at T.J. Maxx for $2.99!!! Crazy cheap and it's a really nice color. The brand is LiSi and the color is Lucky Strike 06. It is a soft pink and has sort of brown undertones. But when you put it on it's just a soft pink with a bit of sheen. Although it has no glitter or sparkle to it, it ends up very shiny and pearly. Yes I just used pearl as an adjective haha. It's very soft and creamy but it isn't the best when your lips are dry. (which mine are right now as I'm wearing it) It seems to cake up a bit. But im sure if you take the time to moisturize and apply it correctly then it'd be fine.
My next item is Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Eau De Parfum Spray. Not makeup but I thought I'd put it in here anyway...This was given to me by someone and I was super excited about it and all but it really isn't one of my favorite perfumes to be honest. I found it didn't not last very long. I put it on before going to the store and when I came back about 2 hours later I could no longer smell it. Now, maybe I had just gotten used to it but I couldn't smell it one bit so who knows. It is supposed to smell like citrus but I think it smells more like a flower than any fruit haha. It has a nice smell though I've gotten a few compliments while wearing it. I really like the bottle though. It just looks so classic and crisp.
