NYX Wicked Lippies - Risque

Hi everyone! Its been a really long time, I know. I keep promising I'll be good about posting and I never do it. Whoops.

Anyways, its one of my new years' resolutions to start posting more and making more videos so I will be doing that.  I'm starting with a fabulous green lipstick.  As you  may or may  not know, my birthday is on St. Patty's Day and I kinda wanted this lipstick when I first saw it, but I never went out and got it.  The other day I was with a friend at Ulta and I happened to see the (completely picked over) display, and I decided to pick up the green lipstick for character looks and for my birthday! I will post a pic after my birthday with this actually on my lips, until then... a hand swatch will have to do!

Risque is a really gorgeous shimmery green "frost" lipstick. Its a perfect emerald green. Formula is smooth and it applies surprisingly well (I have problem lips and generally lipstick is a pain to apply). Its not particularly long wearing, but that's okay.  Its great for quick looks, costume looks or special occasions.


As always, thanks for reading!

Barry M Spring Green

Hey there! Today I'm continuing my green for St. Patrick's Day week with yet another swap polish I got from my international swap!

Natural Light - Direct Sunlight

Natural Light - Shade

Artificial Light

Barry M Spring Green is a really gorgeous minty green creme. This is 2 coats, no topcoat. The formula on this was pretty fantastic. Pretty easy to work with. I'm fairly certain I have something similar in my collection but I'm keeping this because its a Barry M ha! I really like this and the other Barry Ms I have tried (swatches coming soon!) I don't have much more to say so I'll keep it short and sweet!

Thanks for reading, until next time!

Model's Own Emerald Black

Today I'm continuing the green for St. Patrick's Day week with yet another Model's Own I got from my international swap. Once again, please ignore the band-aid >.<!

Natural Light - Direct Sunlight

Model's Own Emerald Black is probably my favorite of the Beetlejuice colors because it combines two of my favorite colors... black and green! :) As with all the other Model's Own so far, the formula is fantastic! :) I'm totally in love with this brand so far. yay!!! This is 2 coats.

Thanks for reading, until next time!
