November 2011 Favs

Hey everyone,

• Catrice Welcome To Las Vegas LE Duo Lip Gloss in 01 Lovely Sinner: The colors of this one are so pretty, and the quality is great! Yes, it's really bright, so I didn't wear it too often, but I still did :) Here *click* you can find swatches.
• Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 DVD: You guys knew this had to be included. I love Harry Potter, and the final DVD finally came out! Here *click* I reviewed the movie when I saw it in cinema (it's a looooooong review).

LOTD / How-to make purple lips wearable

Hi everyone,
today I have my first LOTD post for you, and it means nothing but Lips Of The Day!
I did this combo because I was in the mood to wear a purple color, but I wanted to a make it daytime appropriate.

see the difference between the bottle and the lip color??

So I did these steps:
That's what you need:
- your favorite lip care / lip primer (I used Carmex)
- a nude lipstick of your choice (I used NYX Circe)
- a purple colored lipgloss (I used NYX Queen of Africa)

That's how to do it:
1. Apply either your lip balm or primer.

2. Apply your nude lipstick. You don't have to be careful or anything, the color isn't meant to look perfect, it's just the base color.

3. Add a few dots of your lipgloss to your upper and lower lip, but not everywhere.

looks funny, huh?!

4. Blend out the color by using either a lip brush or a clean lipgloss applicator. You don't want to add any more color, you just want to blend it out. Make sure you don't paint your teeth or get it outside your lip.

Also, when you wear a noticable color, make sure to reapply it after you ate something, because you don't want to run around, all funny with halft-painted lips...;)

What do you think? Is this wearable enough for you or do you prefer it more nude? I'd like to know!

Review: Carmex Lip Balm

Hello everyone,
today I have a little reivew for you guys. I guess you already read a few reviews about this product, the famous Carmex lip balm, and some of you might have already tried this out, but I still wanted to tell you my thoughts on it :)
Here we go:
Information:  
- available at Rossmann and Mueller 
- costs 1.99 Euros for 7.5 gramms of product
- should be used up within 24 months
- promises to be a long-lasting relief for dry, chapped lips
- smells like menthol, herbal and a little weird
- feels a little minty, cooling and like a lip plumer on the lips
- since it comes in a pot, it has a very creamy consistency

Positives:
+ cares the lips so so well
+ price
+ sticks to your lips for a while --> you don't have to reapply it all the time
+ easy to get
+ it isn't really visible on the lips, just provides a teeny-tiny bit of shine --> also suitable for men

Negatives:
- the scent (you might like it, though, but honestly, I don't know anyone who does)
- you need to get it on your finger to apply it and that can be gross ( I deal with it by just putting my lips into the pot ;)) 

Bottom Line: I like it a lot :) The care is so good, it's perfect :) I don't mind the scent that much, because it's gone pretty soon.


Does anyone of you own this lip balm? Do you like it?
I'll see you later!
xoxo, Misch
