Throwback Thursday: National Lipstick Day 2014

Hello there my Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Haha. How are y'all doing this mighty fine Thursday?

I sincerely apologize that my blog entries have been uneventful this past week, it's just I've been so sluggish from TOM and the things I need to get done before my friend's wedding on Saturday is keeping me busy. Of course, there's no excuses so I'm sorry guys. Although I was able to keep my promises of posting everyday since February, I feel like my materials have started to lack. It has been a troubling few months and I am hoping things will get back into full swing before the year is over, if not, for sure in January. I apologize for the lack of Monthly Faves and Updates for Monthly iPsy Bags... I know I cannot make up for it but I have a few entries planned for the next couple of weeks like a combined Hautelook haul and a Modere post. I also plan on doing Holiday Season inspired posts cause ya know, the Holiday Season is quickly approaching. :P

Buuuuuut that isn't until another while. Let's just take it slow and live day by day. :) With that said, I bring you a Throwback Thursday! A throwback of lipsticks.

NATIONAL LIPSTICK DAY 2014

Give it a looksie and let me know which ones are your favorite. :P Just a heads up, there are more pinks than any other shade. I just love pink and it loves me. Whatever works right?

Off I go again to finish the rest of the errands. A few more places to stop by before I can call it a day.

Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading all. Please do come back soon! :)

Throwback Thursday: National Lipstick Day 2014

Hi, hi, hi all! Hope you're all having a great day. The weekend is almost upon us once again, finally. It'll be a very eventful weekend for me, but nonetheless the weekend.

My Daddy's reaction last night was priceless... He had the widest smile on for the rest of the night. He is still very happy today. Glad we were able to make it happen. :) Little things like this makes me very emotional.

As for today, some relatives are flying in from Pennsylvania, so we gotta go pick 'em up from the airport. They'll be here until Sunday so they'll be joining us for the birthday dinner on Saturday. Gotta get grocery shopping done today because I'll be busy with a whole different thing tomorrow. It is so HUMID out today. Oh my gosh, so humid I want to tear my skin off! All the rain's been happening lowered the temp but now the humid is killing me! There is a reason why I live in Arizona and not California.

A couple of weeks ago was National Lipstick Day; I dedicated a whole post to lipsticks I currently love. Today, I'm bringing that back as a throwback.

National Lipstick Day 2014

HAPPY NATIONAL LIPSTICK DAY EVERYONE! 

Yep, you didn't read that wrong, July 29th is National Lipstick Day. Today is a special day for lip junkies like myself. So to honor Lipstick Day, I wanna share with y'all my current favorite lipsticks.

I'll separate the lipsticks into categories of Nude, Coral, Pink, Berries and Sheer. Please keep in mind that this will not be a super long list, as most of my favorite lip products are lip stains. But here we go. :)

Wet N Wild Fergie Lipstick - V.I.Pink

Hello Thursday everyone! How is your week going? I am super tired today for some odd reason. I went to bed really early last night and woke up more tired than I was before bed. The cool temp, about high-50s/low-60s this morning, and AC blastin' sure didn't help my case of getting out of bed....I'm actually nodding off as I type this, what the heck?! I hate feeling lethargic like this.

But anyways, I want to share with you (probably) the most used lip color product I've used as of late. It's a pretty versatile lip color in my opinion, I was able to wear it with a bare face, full face of make up, a smoked eye or even nude eyes. I'm talking about Wet N Wild Fergie Center Stage Perfect Pout Lip Color Lipstick in V.I.Pink. It's actually not too much of a surprised, I did mention it as one of my go to pink lip products a while back.

However, I really shouldn't...but I do anyways and I feel guilty for doing it. When I rediscover a past favorite product, I tend to grab for it more often and forget that I have many other choices to choose from. If I catch myself, I'll force myself to choose something else but I usually don't catch myself doing it until I admire my lips after applying it, which by then is too late. I will not go through the hassle of removing it to reapply a new color. Too much work and harsh treatment for my lips.

V.I.Pink is a mauvey-pink with hints of lilacy-lavender...does that make any sense? I swear, I am sooo bad at describing colors. It's just an overall a very pretty color, very easy on the eyes, very flattering on all skin tones, not to mention very affordable and the quality ain't too shabby either.

The color pay off is great, what you see is what you get. It's also very buildable, just one swipe gives enough color but doing one or two more swipes will indeed give full pigmentation. It is very creamy, glides on the lips with ease; it's like spreading butter on corn on the cob. It's also not too sticky, it has a light tackiness to it, but it's not super-glued-lips sticky. Great as it is, this is by no mean a moisturizing or long wearing lipstick. Lip balm before applying this lipstick is NOT an option. Even so, my lips becomes dried after a few hours of wearing it. Same goes for the lasting duration. I have it on for about three to four hours, I start noticing the color fading a bit, like it's not as vibrant as it was when I first applied it. This lipstick originally has a slight shine to it but as the time ticked away, the shine will also leave. Reapplying the lipstick isn't an option either, my lips still feels dried even after doing so. It actually makes it feel super heavy, which I do not like one bit. So what I do is take it all off and start again at step one, with a hydrating, moisturizing lip balm.

I like how this lipstick shade is bright enough to be the center of attention when worn with a bare or natural face or simple eyes but still subtle to be paired with a smoky eye. This lipstick is pretty with whatever color its paired with.

An honorable mention is Penthouse Sweet, a gorgeous Barbie pink. Although I don't reach for it as much as V.I.Pink, it's also used quite often, more so than most of my lipsticks.

Well thanks for joining me again today thank you much for reading! :)
