Top 5 Best Dark Lip Products

Hey hey hey!!

Guys... it's Fall!! One of my favorite seasons (along with Spring)!!! And you know what that means??
Brown and gold leaves, fuzzy socks, warm sweaters, hot tea, good books and... bolder makeup!!

Personally, Fall makeup is my favorite!! The golden smokey eyes, the dusty pink and plum blushes, and, of course, the dark lips!!

I'm a huge fan of bold dark lips, and to be fully honest, I wear them all year!! (yes, Summer too... call me crazy!)
I love that almost goth like look! It's so me!

So today I have here my top 5 best dark lip products list (including lipsticks and a lip liner!).



1. GOSH's Lip Liner in Wild Cherry

Definitely my favorite!! This color is super dark, super matte, and it won't come off for anything, even if you eat or drink!
It's super super bold, so if you're not very used to dark lips, this might not be the best one to start with, because it's a huge difference!
But if you're already into them and you wanna dare and be even bolder, this is the one for you!





2. Makeup Revolution's Lipstick in 100% Vamp


Crazy bold and crazy dark! I love dark plums, they're my 1st choice of lipsticks! And this is the darkest one I own.
It's very smooth and, unlike most dark colors, it's super glossy and it has that sexy wet effect to it!
If you love super bold and glossy lips, try this one!
Oh, did I say it's super cheap?? Added bonus!!






3. AVON's  Color Trend Lipstick in Deluxe


This lipstick is perfect for anyone! And I mean ANYONE!!
Why? Because it gives you a very soft yet dark color if you just pat it on smoothly, or it can give you a super bold and dark color if you build it up!
It's great for beginners, since you can slowly make it stronger, leaving less space for mistakes!
It's also great for practical girls, since it's easy and quick to apply!





4. H&M's Lipstick in Purple Rain (Dark Purple)


This lipstick is just delightful! The color is so strong and amazing! It's a true purple! It is crazy daring and very bold, so you will turn heads... But who cares right? It's AWESOME!!!!
The color payoff is brilliant, the formula is easy to apply and it's very very matte.
Who knew H&M did such great lipsticks?





5. Catrice's Revoltaire Lipstick in Bloody Red


The only bad things about this lipstick is that it was limited edition... Which makes me feel kind of bad for putting it here!
But I had to! I wear this so much and I adore it, so it just deserved to be mentioned!
The color is a beautiful matte dark red and the pigmentation is great!
It can also be used softly, or be built up into a bolder color.
I love red lipsticks, and I have a good amount of them (I won't say how many cause it's almost embarrassing...), but this one is by far my favorite.
(btw, I heard that Illamasqua's Box lipstick is a pretty good dupe for it!)





Here are the swatches for all 5 products:

Get Ready With Me - Dinner with my buddies!!

Hey hey hey!!!


So the other day I went to dinner with my group of high school friends, and I thought it would be fun for me to film myself getting ready!

Get Ready With Me videos are some of my favorite to watch, and they're so fun to make!!
But the last one I made was 4ever ago! And it was pretty awful when it comes to quality! 

So I figured I'd do another one!!


Here it is:




I hope you enjoyed!


Tell me: how to you get ready for some fun hang out time with your friends??

Outfit Of The Day

Hey guys!!

So today I thought I would do something I actually don't think I've done before, and show you my outfit of the day!!


Today I have a interview, so I wanted to look put together and proper, but still have my own twist on things.





My blouse (which is the focus point of this look) is from Primark, and I have to say I'm crazy obsessed with this blouse!! I love the collar, and the color block, and the material, and... everything!!





My pants are from New Yorker.
They're my favorite pants ever!! I love that they're black (which looks good with anything and everything! Plus you might have already realized... I like black A LOT), they are super comfortable and they fit me perfectly!





My shoes are also from Primark, and they are pretty much my version of a proper nice shoe!
Usually you'd wear heels or maybe some ballet flats to a job interview, but since I will have to walk quite a bit and ballet flats really don't suit me, I decided to add my own twist on things and go for these creepers!
They're still classy looking and pretty basic, mostly because they are all black, but they give a much more modern and trendy vibe, and may a say a bit of a punk/grunge/goth vibe, which I LOVE!!!






So yeah guys, that's my look for today!



Did you like it?
Would you wear it?

Top 5 Favorite Fall Makeup Products!

Hey guys!

So today I'm coming to you with my top 5 favorites Fall products, because, as you might already know, I LOVE FALL!!

So I'll probably do as many Fall related posts as I can!!
Hope you don't hate me for that...


Anyway, let's get into the list!!



1. Catrice Photo Finish Liquid Foundation

I don't know about you, but I always tend to wear more "foundationy" type products when the cool weather comes in!  And lately, this foundation as been my BFF!!
It's been a pretty stressful month for me, which my face sweetly decided to express by presenting me with a couple of unwanted little invaders...
So just concealer wasn´t enough!
Thankfully I had this magic bottle with me!!
The coverage is great and the texture is smooth enough to apply without much effort (but sometimes I do mix it with moisturizer, mostly when I'm late, so it's even easier to apply).





2. Essence LongLasting Eye Pencil in Berry Merry

Ok, so maybe I have a bit of an obsession with dark plums and purples... 
Very well, I'll admit, it's a pretty big obsession!
I mean come on! The color is so amazingly beautiful! Just colorful yet dark enough! It's awesome!
And these eye pencil are honestly my favorites! The pigmentation is brilliant, all the colors are great and the price is pretty pocket friendly!





3. Avon True Colour Blush in Russet 

For Fall, I like more natural and soft cheeks. Nothing too bright, just a smooth subtle color too add that finishing touch to a perfect makeup look!





4. Essence Hello Autumn collection Lip Cream in Beauti-FALL red

This product is simply AMAZING! And yes, I had to Caps Lock that!
The texture of this lip product is perfect, super smooth and soft, moisturizing, pigmented and glossy!
The color is definitely beauti-FALL! It's the perfect shade of red!
I'm in LOVE!!




5. MAC lipstick in Rebel

And I present to you, my favorite lipstick of all times! (and yes, back to that dark plum purple obsession I mentioned before... upsi!)
Thank you so much Skye Sweetnam for mentioning it in a video 4ever ago! It changed my life!! (too much? maybe... but who cares!!)
The color of this lipstick is simple perfection! It's a dark berry pinky redish color... It's too hard to explain or even try to guess from the photo, you HAVE to try it for yourself to understand!
Being a satin finish lipstick, it's matt yet not drying, which is pretty much the best match!
And once you've got in on your lips, it won't budge until you say so!







Ok guys, so those were my 5 favorite products for this beautiful season!
I hope you enjoyed!

And tell me on the comment what are YOUR favorite Fall products!! I would love to know!


Thanks for tuning in!!

Halloween Kitty!!!!


Hey guys!!

So, since Halloween is coming really soon (which I'm super exited about, since Halloween is one of my favorite days of the year!), I decided that I should totally film a look for it!!

I went out trying to find some costume or accessory that would inspire me, and I found these adorable cat years from Primark!
Since I love cats, I thought it was just perfect!!!!

But then I faced a choice: should I be an adorable kitty, or a fierce kitty?

And after thinking a while I just figured... Why not do both??

So that's what I did!!!



Here's my Good Kitty, Bad Kitty Halloween makeup look!!








Did you guys like it??

What are you going to be this Halloween?
And are you going to a party, or just going on a Trick or Treat session??
