1 lipstick: 6 different ways!

Hey guys!
I am back again, and today I wanted to discuss with you guys the different ways you can wear a lipstick! As you saw on my last post, I used the ever so beautiful YSL #27 and also used it as a blush! So much fun!
Today I will be using Mac's Ruby Woo and show you many different ways to wear it! 
This post was really inspired by my twin sister Jess! If you are reading this blog you probably already know all about her!! She is this amazing girl who talks about weight loss, great receipes and basically blogs about her life and stuff! To see her youtube, just click here! If you aren't already subscribe to her...you really should do it ...NOW :) and here is here is her blog and her twitter ! She really is a source of inspiration, plus since we live so far away from each other, it give me a way to always see her :) 
So enough sappiness for today! Going back to what I was saying, I really posted this blog because of my sister! She feels that lipstick doesnt look great on her and I wanted to show her (and all of you guys) that you can wear a bright lip or a red lip...you just have to find the right application for you! 
In this tutorial (that will be up in a few days on my YouTube ) I will show you 6 ways to wear a red lip! Thats right....6!!! Here are some pictures of the different looks I created! Hope you like them :) 

First...lets have a moment to honor this wonderful color in a tube:

And here are the 6 looks!

Look #1: lip stained (kind of looks like I just had a popsicle)



Look #2: The everyday Red lip


Look #3: The magenta undertone lipstick (my personal favorite <3)

Look #4: The fuller lip illusion

Look #5: The glossy glossy

And lets not forget the lipstick at its original state...look #6!

So, are you guys looking forward to the video? Let me know your thoughts down below :)

A lipstick obsession

As some of you may know, I have a slight addiction to lipstick, and if you didnt know already...the title mostly likely gave it away!

The reason I have so much? Well I love pretty colors and I just cant get enough...I always seem to find new ones I cannot live without! 
I decided that showing my favorite lipsticks from my collection would be a good way to start!  

So here is my top 10:
from left to right:
Viva glam "Nikki" (MAC Satin finish)
Schiap (Nars)
Kensington Rouge Allure (Chanel Limited Edition)
Enduring Ruby 14 hr Super Stay (Maybelline)
Rouge Volupte #27 (YSL)
Rouge Volupte #1 (YSL)
Lady Danger (MAC Matte finish)
Flame #300 (Cover Girl)
Ruby Woo (MAC Matte finish)
Vegas Volt (Amplified finish)
