I need your lip love

Ummm, Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids lipsticks... 

Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids, $7.49
"Vibrant Mandarin"
Available BOGO 50% off at ULTA.

are you listening to me? 

I need your lip love.

Dearest Maybelline, 

Please send me like every stinkin' color you make in this lip line. I am beyond enthused with their brightness like I just got drunk off of neon highlighter sharpies or something.  My lips come alive & need to be free with these tubes of lipstick like yesterday. I even used the hot orange color on a bride this past weekend during her reception to brighten things up.

Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids in "Vivid Rose"
Read more about it here.

My most recent purchase of these little pieces of heaven came from ULTA. They were BOGO 50% off, so I bought "Vibrant Mandarin" & "Vivid Rose". 

I'll take it. Done and dunnerer. 

Please also take the time to note the nice smell that accompanies these spring pocket wonders.

So, the real question remains... 

Why'd you buy another "Vivid Rose" tube, woman?

Let's just say that the first time I ever put my purse within my two year old daughter's reach, she somehow manages to go through it very ninja style. Five minutes later, I'm gasping for the makeup remover made with oils because the ruckus she caused on her face was serious business. It's okay. The cuteness of the entire tube being worn & smushed all over her little face was totally worth it. 

Maybe she's worth it. Maybe she's born with it. Maybe she's Maybelline!

Concealer Pen Fun

If you've never tried a concealer pen, you just may want to hop on the bandwagon. Actually, I'll even go as far as saying that you need to try these bad boys at least once in your life.

#YOLO.

Here are a few reasons why I love concealer pens:

• They are portable! Oh, please don't tell me you've never done your makeup in the car...
• They're small enough to put in almost any type purse you have. No one needs to know that this is my little secret for whatever funkiness may occur with my face throughout the day. Oops. Now everyone knows. Oh well. Secrets like these cannot be contained.
• They provide coverage. Duh, said the founder & owner at the Department of Redundancy Department.
• They illuminate to give you a glorious instant eye lift. Most are formulated with light refracting pigments which will lighten even some of your darkest blemishes and under-eye bags.
