Every year theBalm does a 50% off deal with proceeds going to charity.  I placed my order this year (new-ness to come soon!), and it reminded me that I have one of theBalm's liquid lipsticks hiding in my lipstick storage.

Clarins Fall 2017 Collection - Review, Swatches, and Looks

I fell head over heels when Clarins released their 'Sunkissed Summer' 2017 collection (Review HERE).  Those bronze-y, sunrise-like shades made my heart sing.

Well, now that summer is over and fall is in full swing (although I'm afraid that I'll see snow any day now) Clarins has their fall 2017 collection.

Too Faced might be famous for their "Melted" lipstick range, but remember their La Creme Lipsticks?

I recently made an order from Ricky's NYC, and grabbed a few liquid lipsticks from Coloured Raine.

I purchased 'Marshmallow' and 'Soul', and lo and behold...they look exactly the same.  Don't you hate when that happens?

Lip Swatch Saturday - Urban Decay 'Rapture'

Can I get a round of applause going for brands that update their packaging?

It gives the product a fresh look, and as bonus I get to buy the old packaging at a discounted price.  So when Urban Decay gave their lipsticks a makeover, needless to say, I went just slightly HAM.

Fave Neutral Liquid Lipsticks from Stila

I keep telling myself that I'm not allowed to get any more liquid lipsticks, yet here I am with too many to fit in my lipstick drawer.

A sizable chunk of my collection is Stila's Stay All Day Liquid Lipsticks.  They have a great range of shades, as far as liquid lipsticks go they feel pretty comfortable, and they're very accessible - Stila is available at Sephora, Ulta, online, and even certain drugstores.

My love for purple lipsticks knows no bounds!

Today's lipstick is the Clinique Pop in 'Grape Pop'.

Lip Swatch Saturday - Dose of Colors 'Dark Secrets'

When I went to New York City last year for IMATS New York I made it a point to check out the store, "Ricky's NYC".

The Ricky's that I went to had a bunch of their Dose of Colors stock on sale for 50% off, so I had to pick up a lipstick, right?  I didn't even know that Dose had made solid lipsticks, as I had always known them to make liquid lipsticks.  But I was told that solid lipsticks was actually one of the first products that Dose's released - cool!

Essence Matt Matt Matt Lipstick Collection - Review, Swatches, and Looks

While I am not shy in saying that my fave matte lipsticks are the Maybelline ColorSensational Creamy Mattes, I'm not afraid to try out another brand's take on matte lipsticks.

Today I'm talking about the Essence Matt Matt Matt Lipsticks.

Lip Swatch Saturday - Kylie Cosmetics 'Posie K'

Inspired by "Swatch Sunday" by Chelle of Makeup Your Mind, I bring you "Lip Swatch Saturday".

My lipstick collection is slowly getting out of control, so in an effort to keep track of it all, I'll be doing a post every Saturday featuring a lipstick from my stash.  Each post will include the lipstick, a lip swatch, a face shot, and an arm swatch comparison.
