30 Days of Lips + Looks: Day 24 "Colour Pop"

Day 24 "Colour Pop" - Colourpop

Colour Pop Ultra Matte: $6.00

This colourpop color is brand-new, like so new it came in the mail right before I did my makeup. I thought it was so pretty I had to include it in my challenge for today's look. Because it's such a bold color and I worked today I was extremely hesitant to put anything on the eyes. I kept it simple and put a clear shimmery gloss on it to give it dimension. This lip product lasted through work, eating, and drinking! It's similar to a look I did a few weeks ago with a lip liner and a lipstick, so this similarity was unintentional but I thought the combination was really pretty today.

30 Days of Lips + Looks: Day 13 "Burt's Bees of Every Flavor"

Day 13 "Burt's Bees of Every Flavor" - Burt's Bees Lip Gloss "Ruby Moon"

Burts Bees Lip Gloss "Ruby Moon": $8.97

 

I got this on sale at the beginning of the year when I happened to walk into Walgreens at the right time. They were having on sale on only certain colors of this lip gloss for $1.50 each, and I got the last one of Ruby Moon. I was soooo excited because I love Burt's Bees and I've always wanted to try their lip gloss. I don't wear this that much though because it unfortunately does that thing where it builds up on the lips towards the outter edges and it has the tendency to settle into the lines of your lips a bit. Those are my only complaints. It's semi-sheer, so you can go lighter than the color in the container, or add a second coat for a more pigmented color. I decided to do a bronze eye to balance the dark red gloss.

30 Days of Lips + Looks: Day 12 "Nothing comes between me and my Calvin"

Day 12 "Nothing comes between me and my Calvin" - Calvin Klein One High-Shine Gloss "Tender"

Calvin Klein High-Shine Gloss "Tender":$15.00

My obnoxious duck face is there so it doesn't seem like I take myself too seriously, because honestly, for every serious picture I've taken for my blog, I've taken about 25 goofy ones right after it. (Also the duck face is to hide that I'm wicked sunburned under my makeup) I got this gloss in my Ipsy bag a few months ago and have worn in less than a handful of times. It smells very pretty, and is a bit of a thicker gloss. I like it because it's long wearing and doesn't leave that awkward residue on your lips that some glosses do. It's a very pretty, soft shimmery pink. 

30 Days of Lips + Looks: Day 11 "Colorblock Effect"

Day 11 "Colorblock Tango" - J Cats/Kat Von D/Covergirl/Cailyn

J Cat Wonder Lip Paint "Red Potion": $4.99

Cailyn Tinted Lip Balm "Acid Pink": $19.00

Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick "A-Go-Go": $21.00

Covergirl Lip Perfection Lipstick "Divine Divine": $10.47

I did an ombre lip the other day, so today I thought I would do a colorblock lip. I've always wanted to try one and I thought this would be really fun. The Covergirl lipstick is a deeper purple in the tube, but once on the lips it softens to a purplish-pink. The Kat Von D orange lipstick has sadly dried out after less than a year of ownership, so I'm going to turn it into an orange lip gloss by crushing it and mixing it with vaseline. This was my first time using the J Cat color and I am in LOVE. The lip paint from J Cat is awesome. I love Cailyn's tinted lip balm, but I don't go for this one as often as I do my other color, even though I feel super confident in this acid pink color.

30 Days of Lips + Looks: Day 8 "Disco Queen"

Day 8 "Disco Queen" - Maybelline "Make Me Pink"

Maybelline Color Sensational "Make Me Pink": $7.49

I've been obsessed with glitter since I was a little girl, so I really wanted to go full-glitter with one of the days of this challenge. Green also happens to be my favorite color, so I thought I'd go with a green eye look after watching a tutorial a few nights ago. In the tutorial Desi Perkins used a green glitter shadow all over her lid, and after that I stumbled across Ali Michael's Instagram picture of a smudgy dark green eyeshadow look while watching "Blow" from Beyonce. The end result from all my inspirations was a sort of smokey 70's smudgy-disco look. I want the glitter to look kinda smudged up above the lid in an imperfect way, and since this was my first time working with glitter, I can say it wasn't easy! It took a bit before I (kinda) got the hang of it. ((Not pictured: my arms and hands covered in green glitter))
