Kiss and Tell!
Happy Valentine's Day girls!!I've decided to perpetuate the kissy-face stereotype of the holiday by sharing with you some of my favorite "dressy" lip looks! ;)
Now, normally I will just throw on a lip balm or a quick gloss... so these are my slightly-more-put-together looks that take a little bit more effort (not much though, lol). Take a look!
Here (on the right) is look #1, a neutral rose. I used NYX Lipliner in "Natural" and NYX Black Label Lipstick in "Dusty Rose".
Look #2 (to the left, to the left) is my super-bright red look, for which I used Jordana Lipliner in "Hot Pepper", L'Oreal in Colour Riche "British Red" and L'Oreal HIP Lip gloss in "Enticing".
Look #3 (last, but not least) is a glossy blue-based light pink. I used NYX Lipliner in "Barbie Pink", and layered Paul & Joe Lipgloss in "01" with Styli-Style Plastique in "Ultra Violet".Let me know what you think and enjoy this lovely Hallmark holiday with someone special! :)
P.S. - Funny how my camera makes it look like my skin is three completely different tones!

I'm going to try to get a hold of that NYX Dusty Rose lipstick...
I actually have the NYX lipliner in Natural (I've been on a nude lipliner kick, as of late) but I've ditched it in favor of Milani's Most Natural and Satin Rose lipliners. I also like Jordana's Rock n' Rose lipliner (a slightly more brown version of Most Natural).
Where do you buy your NYX products from? My local ULTA has a limited selection, and ever since Eckerd was bought out by RiteAid, Eckerd has stopped carrying most of their NYX products as well. I keep searching in vain for NYX distributors and stockists, all to no avail.

MandyPandy,
I've gotten NYX from a couple different places. I have a Harmon Discount store near me that carries some of their stuff (but no Black Label yet), and also as I mentioned in another post, Essentials Plus has a pretty good selection as well. Mainly though, I've ordered from CherryCulture.com, where I feel has definitely the best selection of NYX products. Free shipping on purchases over $40 and a free cherry lip gloss with every purchase. (I feel like I'm writing commercials for them haha, but it's true... and good prices too, the single shadows are only $2.80 each, and the Ultra Pearl Manias are .99!)

Thanks Jamie! They are definitely too bright for everyday wear (in my opinion, of course) but for special occasions... oooh do they ever attract attention!
