Vasanti Kajal Waterline Eyeliner Pencil $19 #obsessed #eyesfordays

What a crazy crazy month it has been! We are finally in our new house! We aren't completely unpacked BUT for the most part we are. I've got a few blogs I will be putting up over the next couple of weeks. I know I'm behind :) 

So, do you remember when I told you, well if you follow me on Facebook, that I signed up for IPSY? I can't believe I had never heard of the website before! If you haven't heard of IPSY, I have included a link, go check it out! Well I received my first bag while I was backing and I received this eyeliner pencil. Now, normally I use just the Sephora brand eyeliner because I always mess it up and I end up getting more under my eyes than I do on my lids. Anyway, so I tried Kajal Waterline Eyeliner Pencil that was in my IPSY bag. #obsessed 

Vasanti Kajal Waterline Eyeliner Pencil 

Let's be real our looks are never complete without eyeliner. It can drastically change your entire look depending on what you are doing (night out on the town, going to work, etc). You can create cat eyes, doll eyes, well you get the point...

This waterline eyeliner is awesome! It stays on the entire day and the color is intense. From what I have seen, waterline eyeliners say they are "black" but when you put them on your line they end up being a greyish-black. Using this eyeliner will definitely make your lashes look fuller and longer, which can sometimes be tricky!

You can purchase this pencil directly through Vasanti or through Amazon. I have included a link to both. 

Go check it out and let me know your thoughts! I will be blogging more about other products soon. Also, if you have a request for a blog, send us a message through the comment section or directly on our website!

My Favorite Eyelash Curler vs. others #obsessed #lashesfordays $18

I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July! We celebrated with fireworks, family, and friends. I know my blogs have been few and far between lately and I apologize! I think I say that every time, I just have a lot in my personal life going on right now. With that being said, I thought you would appreciate this blog post.

Have you ever had your eyelash curler not curl your lashes? You hold it over your lashes for like ten seconds and the only thing it has done is made your eyelashes clump together BUT with no curl? #epic #fail. Below is my TOP EYELASH CURLER #lashesfordays, along with two duds.

Tarte Eyelash Curler - $18 includes a sample of their mascara as well. I'm literally #obsessed with this curler. It is the best one that I have found out there. Yes, it's a little more expensive than your typical curler, but it really works. It has an easy grip handle and a purple pad so that you can see every single lash. It fits the contour of my eye perfectly and I don't experience any pinching, which is a relief, considering other curlers I have used (cough like the others I have listed below cough) Trust me, go by this eyelash curler, it will change your world! #obsessed

Tarte Picture Perfect Eyelash Curler - sold at Sephora, Ulta, etc.

These two just did NOT cut it for me: Revlon Extra Curl Eyelash Curler $6 and Sally Hansen Sexy Curl Precision Eyelash Curler $6 

Revlon Extra Curl Eyelash Curler

Sally Hansen Sexy Curl Precision 

 

I can't tell you many how times I purchased the Revlon Curler. Maybe 10 times = $60 bucks! I have long eyelashes and usually go for the "over-dramatic" eyelash look. These curlers are "supposed" to crimp, curl and widen your lashes. Ha! More like they didn't do any of the above. Let's face it, you get what you pay for with these. They simply DO NOT work. Don't waste your $$ on these. Fork up the $18 bucks and spend it on a curler that is going to work that you won't have to toss after a week.

What is your favorite eyelash curler? Have you used any of these before? Did you like them? Leave comments

OUAI Haircare #obsessed #shine #hairlove $26-28

Ya'll it's been way too long without a blog post!! I have been severely slacking! We are in the process of building a house so I have been dealing with a lot in regards to that. I hope you will all continue to read :)

Today, I decided to change it up a little bit. I came across this Haircare line that I just had to share with you, OUAI Haircare. This is not your average haircare product and I thought you would appreciate it. It was created by Celebrity Hairstylist, Jen Atkin. She has tons of recognizable clients: Katy Perry, JLo, Kim K, Chrissy Teigen, Reese Witherspoon, Jessica Alba, the list goes on and on. After several washes, I have to say this formula has one me over.

Ouai Hair Products

Reasons why I love this hair care line:

#1 The Fragrance - Oh I am #obsessed with the smell of this product. The scent smells expensive, like luxury. It's a cross between a perfume and soap smell. It's a breathe of fresh air.. "Ouai" is the french way of saying "Yeah/Yes" Can you say "Yeah" in a french accent?  Sounds cool right? That's because it is - you really have to sniff it to believe it. The smell last for a couple of days as well. I've asked my husband to sniff my hair and he has definitely given his stamp of approval. #obsessed

#2 The Repair - This product has done wonders for my hair. Let's be honest, I get highlights quite often and when you do that, it can leave your hair damaged and dry. Like my hair, that is, until I started using this Shampoo & Conditioner. It includes a Smart Technology Complex. It targets damaged areas of the hair and repairs the hair cuticle. It also has Tamarind Seed Exact in it which provides a velvety moisturizer. Since using this, my hair feels soft, shiny and most importantly it's not frizzy!

The best part? It's not only cruelty-free but you can also buy the entire line at Sephora or directly on the Ouai website. I have included both on this blog. Go check it out and let me know your thoughts! #obsessed #shine #hairlove

Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick #obsessed #pucker $24

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! So, I was at Sephora browsing and I came across this little number, Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick. Now, obviously, I have an addiction to lipstick, eh whats wrong with adding one more to my collection?! I tested it out on my hand and I loved it! #obsessed #pucker #lipstick

StilaStay All Day Liquid Lipstick, this shade is Como

There are a two specific reasons why I love love love this lipstick:

#1 The Color(s) - The picture above is the actual lipstick that I purchased. I absolutely love this color! Now, normally, I'm not a "purplish" fan, obvi, I'm sure you know I'm more of a "red" chick. With that being said, when I put this on my skin, I instantly loved it. It's different than other shades that I have seen before. They have quite a selection of shades, anywhere from pink (rosa, patina, bella) to nude (dolce) to red (fiery, venezia, rico). Looks like I will have to add a few red shades to my lipstick obsession.

Several shades of Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick

#2 The Daily Wear - When using this lipstick, a little goes a long way. I only had to apply one stroke of the shade to my lips, where as other lipsticks I've used, you have to apply several coats to get the right color shade that you want. When they say "all day" they mean "all day." After I tested the color on my skin at Sephora, I had a hard time getting the color to come off my hand. In fact, I couldn't get it all of while at Sephora! I knew my lip color remover would do the job when I got home so I wasn't too worried :) This lipstick stayed on the entire day, OMG #obsessed

Como shade on my skin

My overall review of this lipstick - solid thumbs up! It's $24 and you can get it on the Stila website (i've included several links), Sephora, Ulta, or anywhere that sells Stila products. I would recommend buying a color or ten. I know I'm about to purchase a few more #obsessed. Here is what it looks like on: 

What are your thoughts, what do you think of this color? Have you tried Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick? Are you #obsessed? 

My Favorite Lipstick Remover $8.17 #obsessed

I am SO sorry I haven't blogged in a couple of weeks! My husband and I are getting things ready for our new house and I have been working like a mad woman. I appreciate those who continue to read my blogs and welcome to the new readers. I promise I will not go this long without a blog again. So I have been purchasing tons of lipstick lately and I like to switch the colors out throughout the day, depending on what I have going on. Well, the really good lipsticks are hard to remove. You know what I'm talking about if you wear the red lipstick #obsessed like I do. You usually end up with a reddish pink ring around your lips that even soap and water will not remove. I give you LipScense by SeneGence Oops! Lip Remover. #obsessed

LipSense Lipstick Remover!

I stumbled across this hidden gym while browsing Amazon. I was looking for a lipstick remover because my makeup remover wipes were just not cutting it. I added all of my filters and BOOM there she was. Of course, the first thing I look at, PRICE. $8 bucks? That's it? I purchased it (don't worry I have included the link to purchase several times in this blog). I wasn't sure if it would be worth it yet or not but I figured I would give it a try. I have a Amazon Prime account so it would arrive in two days. Finally it arrived, which was perfect because it was a weekday and I had worn my Mary Jo by Kylie Jenner to work that day. I opened the box and applied it to my bottom lip. OMG, it removed the red lipstick completely in one brush. Now, if you have used the Kylie Lipkits, they are very pigmented and sometimes hard to get off because they are made to last all day long. This product removed the entire color in five seconds! I took a paper towel and wiped off the access. I couldn't believe it. #obsessed

Now, I must warn you that when you put this on your lips, it doesn't have a very good taste, well I wouldn't say it taste horrible,but it doesn't taste like mint or anything. Also, your lips will seem sort of numb for about two seconds, but it is totally worth it!

All in all, this product is a steal! I am going to add this to my #obsession list. I say give it a try; it definitely will not break the bank. You can purchase it here. 

What other lipstick removers do you use? I want to hear from you so please leave comments. Stay tuned for more of my #obsessions over the weekend.

Kylie Glosses #obsessed #like #literally #socute $15

I follow Kylie Jenner on Instagram and noticed that she was launching a nude gloss line to go along with her lip kits. She even made a video to announce the glosses #obsessed. You can view it here. I think she was going for like a Charlies' Angels type video. Oh and that LV Bandana? I'm indifferent on that.. I knew they were going to launch on April 1st but I had no idea what time they it would be. Normally, she will post a specific time when she is restocking/launching her products. That was not the case that day so no one knew what time it would be, however, I have her app (don't judge, I do this for my blog!). She released the time literally like five minutes before the launch. Don't worry I was ready! I had already auto-saved my card because if they were anything like the lip kits they would sell out in like 15 minutes. Anyway, so I was able to snag all three glosses after work last week. Whew! And I was right, they sold out in like 15 minutes! They arrived last Friday and if you follow us on Twitter, I posted a picture with me wearing one of the glosses (i've posted it below as well). 

Wearing one of the Kylie glosses

Literally, Like, and So Cute

The packaging for her glosses aren't all that different than her lip kits. They are smaller though. The applicator brush is definitely different. It's an actual brush rather than the lip kit, which is more of a fluffy tip applicator. I will be honest, it is a little too long and is a little difficult to apply. I had to remove some the gloss that missed my lip and got onto my face. From what I hear, she has already changed the brush applicator before her next launch. Which btw is tomorrow at 3PM CST! I think the glosses are pretty pigmented as well. Also, I don't think I have seen her in a gloss before, like ever. I can relate totally. I'm not a "gloss" person either, which I'm sure you have all figured that out that I like "matte" lipstick (see my very first blog). The best part of these glosses is that you only need to apply one coat, which is a huge selling point to these glosses. A little goes a long way!  #obsessed

Like, Literally, and So Cute swatches

All in all, I think they are worth the purchase! Like I said earlier, she restocks tomorrow at 3PM CST, keep refreshing the page until they show up! Good luck and hopefully you will be #obsessed too. 

Quay Australia Sunglasses $40-60 #obsessed #sunglasses

I apologize that I have not gotten my blog out sooner! I have been going ninety to nothing the past week. So I was on Instagram one day and one of the celebs that I follow had posted a picture of the shades below. I'm sure you know her if you watch Pretty Little Liars #PPL (Shay Mitchell). (FYI they actually did a collaboration with her on some of their shades).  I thought they were super cute and I have been on a serious sunglasses purchasing #obsession here lately. At the time I saw them, I wasn't sure of the name of who made them, I just new I had to have them, like stat. After several google searches, boom, I finally found the website! The shades are made by Quay Australia. Don't worry I'll include the link several times throughout my blog. So after browsing for a few minutes, I added three pairs of shades into my shopping cart. Oops :) I'm #obsessed with these shades for three reasons. They are funky, affordable, and have cute names!

Quay Australia inspiration for this blog

#1 Reason I'm #obsessed with Quay Australia shades - They are totally adorbs and super funky! I haven't seen shades like this before. They have a wide variety of different shapes (rectangular, round, oval, or cat eyes) and they come in TONS of colors. Blue, black, pink, purple, white, clear, multi-color. You name the color they probably have it. Personally, I'm an oval or rectangular girl. I never thought round glasses would look good on me but I was totally wrong (well at least I think they look cute, what do you think? Oh and yes I know I have a huge forehead)! I've included a few pictures of myself with some of the shades that I own. If you follow me on snapchat, you will see I'm wearing their shades quite often :) If you dont have my SC name, contact me here.  

Wearing "Frankie"

Wearing "High Emotion"

#2 Reason I'm #obsessed with Quay Australia shades - They are totally affordable! These shades run from $45-$60 per pair. I mean seriously? A couple months back I paid $250 for a pair of plain jane Ray Bans! These shades are a total score when it comes to price and won't break the piggy. You need to save $$ so you can purchase more of my #obsessions.

Variations of Quay Australia

#3 Reason I'm #obsessed with Quay Australia shades - I adore all of their names. It's a Sin, Muse, Sorry Not Sorry, Kiss and Tell, About Last Night (lol), the list goes on and on! This is what makes them so unique and different from any other shades I have seen in the market. 

Needless to say, these sunglasses are the shiz! I told you I would include several links to their website so that you can check them out. Now, here is a link where you can actually see what they look like on your favorite celebrities! By the way, each pair of shades comes with a pouch holder, so you do not have to purchase the hard case unless you do not want to. Hey,I told you i'm trying to save you some cash here!

So...take the plunge, buy a pair! But I'm warning you, they are ADDICTING. Once you buy your first pair, you won't want to stop! If you are anything like me, you won't.

My Fav Foundations Powder vs. Liquid #obsession #foundation

First, I want to thank everyone that keeps reading my #obsession blogs! I have tons of things I want to share with you! Today I thought I would switch it up and blog about a request that I received last week from one of my readers. My favorite foundations.. Powder vs Liquid.

It took me forever to find these foundations. I literally tried everything (covergirl, revlon, mac, etc). I couldn't find one that didn't make face oily or feel heavy on my face.  You know what I'm talking about. When you literally touch your face and it feels like ekkkkkk. Wait, are you touching your face right now? ;) I was first introduced to the powder foundation (bareMinerals) back in college. I walked into Ulta and was looking around and luckily one of their ladies asked if I needed some help. Normally, I would thank them and say "No, I'm just browsing," but in this instance, I really did need some help. I told her "Yes" and began to explain my experiences with foundation. She asked if I had ever tried a Power foundation, what, they make that? Without revealing my age, at the time, I had no clue they made power foundation. She brought over a couple of shades and tested them on my skin. She brought over bareMinerals Original Foundation $28.50. 

bareMinerals Original Foundation

Medium Bage, yup, that's my color. She also grabbed a powder concealer. Side note, their concealer is the real deal. Anyway, she sat me down and started putting on the powder foundation on one side of my face.  She used a "kabuki" brush. She swirled it around and then tapped the access back in the foundation pod. She only used a little bit. Yes, a little goes a long way with this foundation. Wow, where are the blemishes? Gone. The coverage was fantastic! Flawless. It was not heavy at all, I literally felt like I had nothing on my face. Needless to say, purchased. This foundation is great for everyday use. It's my go to foundation for the weekday. Like I said, a little goes a long way so one will last you an entire year if you use it correctly. I've been using this for years and I'm literally #obsessed. 

I said this blog is Powder vs. Liquid. With that being said, I am also #obsessed with Clinique Stay-Matte Oil-Free Foundation $24. My experiences with liquid foundation in the past were not good at all. They made my face seem so oily! I also couldn't find the right color so I looked pale as a ghost in photos. Ugh, I'm remembering those days as I'm typing this. Hashtag #fail. 

Clinique Stay-Matte Oil Free Foundation

I was shopping at Sephora one day and had decided to try a liquid foundation because I had a big event that night. I wasn't sure but I had heard through other peeps that this foundation was on point. I figured I would give it a whirl, so I asked one of the makeup artists to help me to find the right color. Boom - found and purchased. BTDubs, this liquid foundation has a LOT of different shades to choose from. No more "pale as a ghost" moments for me! So, this foundation feels really light on your skin. It is oil free so you don't get that "oily" look that most foundations give you. This foundation is also sweat resistant. The main reason I'm #obsessed with this foundation is because ti is so easy to use. I literally put a dab on what I call the four corners of my face (forehead, chin, left cheek, right cheek). I've only been using this foundation for about two years now and I am completely #obsessed. 

There you have it folks, Powder vs. Liquid foundation. I thought we might do things a little different today on this blog. What do you think? Please cast your vote below. Click here to view results.

My Favorite Mascara #obsessed #lashesfordays $23

Since I am due for a refill, I figured I would give you the skinny and blog on the mascara that I am absolutely #obsessed with! Have you ever been in Ulta or Sephora and they have the "mascara station?" That's probably not the right terminology, but basically they have all the mascara's they carry in the store on one shelf so you can compare and contrast each one.  I'm not sure why they do this but I'm so glad they do or I would never have fallen in love with this mascara. It's not your $5-8 mascara. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but let's face it, you pay for what you get. While searching for the perfect mascara, I was looking for the right application wand. I do not like the short rubber bristles. They feel weird and I don't feel like they work and they make my eyelashes clump up so easily. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I have including a photo below (wands that is). 

I'm talking about the one on the far right

Luckily, while at Sephora I was able to test a few different mascaras (TFBTSM, Urban Decay, Lancome, etc.) and that's when, I fell in love with Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara #obsessed. What a name right? I mean if it's better than that, it's gotta be worth it. This mascara is the best mascara, I have ever found! This mascara creates intense eyelashes, I mean intense. Now, I have long eyelashes so it really makes me look as if my eyelashes might look fake. Trust me, they aren't. This mascara is so bomb it makes someone with really short eyelashes (like my mom, love you mom) seem as if you can't really tell they have short eyelashes. Totally doing it's job right? Its great for everyday use and it's explosive for a night out on the town. 

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

The applicator brush is hour glassed shaped with extra stiff bristles. This collagen filled mascara only needs to be applied once. It will make your lashes full and defined, but feel free to add an extra application for a more dramatic affect. Not only does it give you length, which I don't necessarily need, but it also gives you volume. I've included a before and after photo so you understand what I'm #obsessed with. 

Applying this is simple: close your eye, stroke the outside layer of your eyelashes, open your eye and stroke the inside layer of your eyelashes. See video below. 

**Tip: try to blink when your putting it on your inside layer to add that extra layer of fullness.

Then look up and apply to your bottom eyelashes. 

Video of application

Like I said previously, I don't do clumps. You know what I am talking about.. The more you apply to your eyelashes they start sticking together and you try to get them to spread apart and it ends up being a mess #fail. Yeah, this mascara doesn't do this. #obsessed. You can wear it all day long and it stays on. It isn't waterproof so if your swimming or crying (aww don't cry), it will stay on all day. 

With that being said, this mascara is now available in waterproof!!! I didn't realize that before starting this blog. Not kidding. I seriously went to the Too Faced website and it said "Now Featuring BTS Waterproof." I don't believe Sephora is carrying this as of yet. You might have to purchase on the actual Too Faced website, don't fret, I have included it here. I have already placed an order for the waterproof mascara and I am eager to see if it serves the same function. Don't worry I will let you know :) 

Too Face Better Than Sex Mascara Waterproof

 Everyone has their #obsessions and this one is one of mine. I would give this a 5 out of 5 stars in the category of mascara. Your sure to get noticed with this little gem. Try it out, best $23 dollars ever spent. Enjoy!

My Favorite Shoe..the WEDGE #obsessed #shoes

I am finally back from Mexico! I was due for a nice relaxing vacation. We went to Cancun and it was so nice to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle. I'm sorry I'm a little late getting a blog out. I was hoping to have it done yesterday but after finally getting home, I was way too tired. By the way, if you fly out of the country, purchase the Global Fly or whatever it's called. I was told it cost around a $100 bucks to skip the customs line at the airport. Not sure if that is true or not but if it is, I am TOTALLY doing it next time. 

Anyway, back to what I am blogging about today, my favorite accessory.. SHOES!! Now I know most of you know that I am #obsessed with shoes. Seriously, I have a shoe addiction. If you don't believe me, come and see my closet, oh and my bedroom. All my shoes will not fit in the closet so my husband purchased me a shoe wrack a while back and what did I do? Filled it up within a month :) I told him, he is just setting me up to by more shoes, and well I kinda did. After that he decided to get adventurous and actually built me another shoe rack! Thank you to my kind husband for all of your hard work. Don't worry, I have filled this one up too. I buy shoes at all times, even when there not in season. I told you, I'm #obsessed. I am BTW finally a brand ambassador for Shoe Dazzle (Just Fab). If you haven't checked out their website, here you go: shoedazzle.com. If they ask for a referral, just tell them I sent you there. :)

So now that I've rambled on and on about my shoe #obsession, my favorite shoe of all time has to be THE WEDGE. Below are the top 3 reasons I'm #obsessed with THE WEDGE. I remember the exact day I purchased my first pair(s) of wedges. My husband (boyfriend at the time) and I were strolling through DSW and I noticed these cute little things: 

Photo was taken in the car; my first pair of wedges

I mean aren't they adorable?! They are only around 3-4" high and have ties on them. I purchased them also in red and white. I actually still have them to this day. I definitely rock the red ones' on Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor day. 

#1 Reason I'm #obsessed with THE WEDGE - You can wear THE WEDGE with practically anything. You can wear them with a skirt, jeans, jumpsuit, romper, crop pants, you name it. Dress it up with a necklace, bracelet, earrings, or even just a necklace, bracelet or earrings. You wouldn't think that the colors brown and aqua blue would go together, but as you can see below, they do. I love wearing them with a good pair of jeggings with a tank top, spaghetti strap, or even a crop top. 

Wedges with a Romper

 Wedges with Jeans

Dress with Wedges

#2 Reason I'm #obsessed with THE WEDGE - They come in all shapes, sizes, colors and textures. You can wear straps, multiple straps, or even no straps. Now, I know what you are thinking, well that's any shoe, well, that's true, but I'm not blogging about any shoe, I'm blogging about THE WEDGE. You can get beading, lace, leather, snake skin (faux), feathers, etc. The list really does go on and on. 

You can even have <3's in Wedges (yes I own these)

#3 Reason I'm #obsessed with THE WEDGE - they are comfortable! That's an understatement, they are REALLY comfortable. Maybe it's just me but I can walk in wedges all day long and my feet do not hurt at all. Pair of pumps, sheesh, I can't even last an hour and I'm wobbling and leaning to the left or leaning to the right. I end up just taking them off. 

So there you have it folks, my favorite shoes that I'm #obsessed with, THE WEDGE. Go out and buy yourself a pair, or two or ten! I think I'm going to go take my own advice! #obsessed.

Kylie Lipkit #pucker #obsessed $29

So my blog is not going to just be about makeup or lipsticks, as I have said before, I'll be blogging about all the fashion that I am #obsessed with. With that being said, I have been trying to snag one of these lip kits for weeks. They have been sold out, in fact, they sold out within 16 minutes of relaunching. I'm not kidding! I follow her on Snapchat and she literally had over 100K people before the relaunch happened. I didn't have a chance to get one of the red lipsticks but I did purchase three shades. Dolce K, Candy K, and 22. I had to order them in two separate purchases because I was scared they would sell out before I submitted my order. Whew - Purchased! I patiently waited four whole days for these to come in. I haven't received 22 yet so I'm giving you the 411 on two shades, Dolce K and Candy K. First off, the packaging is killer for this kit. See for yourself. It includes a written note from Kylie thanking you for your purchase. 

Kylie lip kit packaging includes a written note from  none other than Kylie herself.

The first shade I tried was Dolce K. Now, normally I do not use lipliner. I always mess it up and end up drawing past my lips. I never was good at staying inside the lines when I was a child. Anyway, back to what I was saying. I drew on the lipliner and then put on the shade. It's a matted lipstick. It's not a heavy lipstick and smells like a carmel macchiato from starbucks. Literally. Well, expresso, you get the point. It also dried super quick! Now dolce is a medium beige. Normally, as you have seen before I go for red all day every day. I have to say though I really like this color. I've included a pic of what it looks like on. 

Please excuse the messy hair 

Like I said previously, I'm a red girl so this was definitely taking me out of my usual comfort zone. I LOVE IT. Even though it's a beige color it really makes my lips standout. My puckers are puckering with this shade. In fact, I have it on now! #obsessed

The second shade that I purchase was Candy K. Since my name is Kandise, it makes sense that I would get this one ( :) ). Candy K is a warm nude color. I didn't take a picture of myself with it on but I did find an image with Kylie wearing Candy K. This shade is what made Kylie's lips famous. It's a soft and subtle color. It also smells like expresso. 

I know that they made several other kits similar to Kylie's. I think that there is one by Anastasia. I have not tried this one but to be quite honest, this kit is definitely worth the money. I think I failed to mention that this doesn't come off easily, which could be a good or bad thing. I think it's a great thing! You only have to apply it once and it'll stay on for hours and hours. I know I posted a couple of Snapchats while I had the lipstick on. Go over and check out kyliecosmetics.com for additional info of the next launch and check out the other shades. I am totally going to grab the Mary Jo, which is none other than a red lipstick. I should be getting 22 in the next couple of days so I will make sure to post a picture of that one. 

I'm officially #obsessed. 

My Favorite Reds #obsessed #lips #pucker

Well I thought it would make sense that my first blog on this site be about what inspired the name behind Snap and Pucker. Yup, you guessed it, my favorite red lipsticks. Who doesn't love a good red lipstick? It photos well and let's be honest, it stands out. The following are in my purse on a daily basis, I'm literally #obsessed. 

#1 Revlon Color Matte Balm Standout $6.95 Walmart

I was strolling through the store one day and came across this little gem. I was looking for a lipstick that wouldn't rub off as soon as I put it on. I figured I would give it a whirl and try it out. One of the best decisions I have ever made. The shade is a deep red. This lipstick goes on and does not rub off easy at all. I'm talkin stays on even when I use a makeup remover stays on. The lipstick also dries very quickly and doesn't smudge. It's also user friendly and great for on the go. It's my go to lipstick during the work week. It doesn't feel heavy on the lips either. It's the real deal. The stick creates the perfect pucker. If you don't believe me, check out my "About" section of this site. I catch myself strolling through the Revlon section whether I am at Walmart, Target, CVS, Ulta, etc. just to see if they have them in stock. Sometimes I hit the jackpot and stock up (5 or 6 at a time). Not kidding. I have some that still have the wrapper on them, just in case I run out. Who am I kidding? I'm not going to run out but for some reason I am #obsessed with this lipstick. Thumbs up Revlon. 

#2 Tartiest Creamy Matte Lip Paint Bae $20 Sephora

This lipstick, excuse me, lip paint is killer for a night out on the town. Want all eyes on you? This is your Bae. Since it is a lip paint it is a little thicker than your usual lipstick. You will definitely grab the fellas attention with this red little number. This is not a roll on lipstick rather it's more like a lip gloss. It does have a little bit of shine when you put it on. This one will take more than a quick second to put on, but once you do, you'll feel like a totz different person. You can find this one at Sephora, Ulta, or anywhere Tarte makeup is sold. This whole line is killer. Watch out though, don't go puckering the lips too quickly as the one downfall for this lipstick is it takes a minute to dry. Give it a few and then your free to take puckered selfies all night long. #obsessed with this tarty little number. 

#3 MAC Vevletease Lip Pencil Reddy To Go $20 MAC Cosmetics

Okay so I have to be honest, I have a love/hate relationship with this one. This red pop of color is explosive. It's a cherry red color that can make your puckers really puck! I stumbled across this lip pencil while I was strolling through Nordstrom one day at the mall. Not really looking for a new lipstick and probably adding to my shoe #obsession, I stopped by the mac counter. I took this what looks like a crayon and drew it on my skin. Wow, that is a HOT red lipstick. I wondered what it would look like on my lips, so I asked the clerk if I could try it. He gave me a lip gloss tester and I put it on. Yup, still a HOT red. I figured I would give it a whirl so I purchased it, along with my pair of shoes. I told you I was #obsessed. This lightweight lipstick pops. This lipstick has two downfalls. One is that you have to go over your lips several times to get the right shade of red. Two, when you run out you run out. It doesn't twist and more lipstick comes out. I've even taken my eyeliner sharpener to it. FYI do not do that, it was an epic fail. This is my weekend daytime lipstick. Selfies in the sun are this shades' best friend. 

Here's the thing, red lipstick sometimes can be a little much and quite intimidating and lots of people are cautious to wear it. Personally, I love it.  I always feel confident when wearing it and walk little bit taller (hey this 5'2" girl will take anything!). Don't be afraid of it. Anyone can where it and it goes with any hair color (red, blonde, brunette, yes even someone with blue or purple hair). 

There you have it folks. My three favorite reds. My suggestion, buy all three and see which one works best for you, trust me you will be #obsessed too.
