Lipsticks you need for your collection

These lipsticks would be a great addition to your collection.  I love all of the brands mentioned below, but would not recommend the NYX Butter lipstick or Maybelline Whisper lipstick in other colors.  These two stick out within their collection.  As for the others, Revlon, Mac, Urban Decay and the NYX Round Lipstick collections are awesome.  They are true to color.  

All of these products are listed on my Luvocracy page:

I love a bold lip as much as the next girl, but every single makeup enthusiast needs to own a few great nude/pink lipsticks.  These colors can be worn year round and offer a great makeup look.  The best nude/pink lipstick shade for you is one shade lighter or darker than your natural lip color.  This will give you a pop of color while still allowing you a natural look.  I personally love all of these regardless of the range.  

Revlon Primrose- is a cream sheen, which means it is moisturizing, but does not contain glitter.  It gives my lips a nice wash of color.  I tend to reach for this more in the Spring and Summer due to the undertone.  This is great for fair, light, and medium skin tones.  

MAC Cream Cup has to fall in my top five lipsticks I own.  This lipstick is extremely creamy and pigmented.  It looks great year round and doesn't even need to be topped with a gloss.  I do top with a gloss, but that is just due to the fact that I am obsessed with lipgloss.  This lipstick looks good on everyone.  

Maybelline Lust for Blush is similar to Cream Cup, but a little less pigmented.  They are similar in tone, but it takes a lot more swipes of Lust for Blush to achieve an extremely pigmented look.  If you don't want to shell out the money for a MAC lipstick, reach for this lipstick as a backup.  It is moisturizing and extremely flattering on the lips.  

Urban Decay Native is a little bit more nude than Cream Cup, but looks great on my lips.  It is great for when you plan to play up your eyes and want a natural lip.  This is the most creamy of all of the lipsticks, but it isn't very long wearing.  This feels great on so I have no issue reapplying often.  It also provides a nice shine to the lips.  

NYX Butter Lipstick in Pops looks like my natural lips with just a slight twist.  I like this when I am trying to achieve a very natural look.  It feels and looks like a gloss.  If you want a lipstick that wears more like a gloss, this is a great lipstick for you.  It is a tad bit darker than my natural lip color, but it is just different enough to amp up my look.  It does take a while to build up to an opaque look, but it is worth it.  

NYX Round Liptick in Perfect- This is a great mix between a nude and a berry color.  I reach for this nude in the fall and winter time. It is incredibly pigmented and moisturizing.  I love that I don't need a lot of product to get an opaque look.  This is great for someone who wants a great lipstick at a fraction of the price of high end lipsticks.  If this is a little too brown for you, they have other great options at Ulta.  The shimmery shades are not as pigmented, but all of the cream shades are great!!!

NYX Baked Blush and Beauty Balm Review

I was so excited for these new NYX products to come out.  I searched high and low in both nearby locations of Ulta without any luck.  I finally asked a sales associate about it and they had them in the back.  She was kind enough to bring out the box and I was able to pick through and grab some new products to try.  I was lucky enough to head home with two baked blushes and a beauty balm.  I have had mostly good luck with NYX products in the past so I had high hopes for both of these products.  

I have had a lot of difficulty finding BB creams that work on my fair skin tone.  I am incredibly fair with pink under tones and most BB creams look too orange or too dark on my skin.  I usually use a BB cream when I want a natural look that covers up my dark spots and redness.  This product claims that it will brighten, smooth and moisturize.  It is oil-free and mineral enriched.  It comes in a box, but I already threw mine away:(  I purchased mine in the lightest shade, nude.  Let me start off by saying I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BB CREAM!!!! It has a velvety smooth consistency and blends into my skin like butter.  I use a Beauty Blender to apply it and it gives me a flawless finish that looks like natural skin. It makes me look like me, but better.  Who doesn't want that?  It does have a slight fragrance, but it is light and fresh.  The scent doesn't linger on my skin for long, but I do notice it when I first apply it.  I think is great for someone who wants a little bit of coverage that keeps your skin looking natural and fresh.  If you are someone who likes a full coverage look, this is great underneath your makeup. It doesn't look cakey when applied underneath your everyday foundation.  It comes in three colors: light(nude), medium and dark.  It sells for $12.99 at Ulta.   

The next two items I picked up were also a hit!  The new NYX Baked Blushes are amazing!  The packaging is absolutely adorable.  It comes in a black box that snaps shut.  You open the box by pushing up on a black bow.  Too cute!  They are extremely pigmented and have a beautiful sheen that is not sparkly.  I do not care for glitter in my blushes, but these don't have glitter. Instead they offer a beautiful glow that makes my skin look flawless.  I use a duo fiber brush to apply these and it buffs the color naturally into my skin.  They blend flawlessly into my skin and they offer great color choices.  I picked up BBL05 Foreplay and BBL08 Ignite.  These colors are drastically different.  Foreplay is a pink blush that would look good on fair to medium skin tones.  It is good for an everyday blush.  Ignite is described as a muted orange, but it looks more coral when it is applied to the skin.  I like this for a summery look, but not for use on a day-to-day basis.  I think that these blushes are great for the price and the color range is amazing.  You could also purchase a lighter color and use it as a highlighter.  These are a great buy to transition into spring and summer.  I can't wait to get my hands on more colors from their new collection.
