I love talking beauty and beauty products with my clients and I’m always on the look out for new makeup goodies to add to my kit! I recently styled Ashley for her wedding. Very prepared, she had purchased ahead of time a lipliner and a gloss for touch up throughout the day. As soon as she handed to me, I LOVED  and HAD to have it.

 

 

The lip liner ($16) is part of Smashbox The NUDE Collection.  The one I  purchased, Light (soft nude), has the most perfect color. Not too warm nor too cool, it allows for the use of many other glosses or lipsticks to be layered on top.  There’s also one lighter and more pink, called Fair.  And for you darker complexion beauties, it also comes in medium and dark.

 

 
For Keeps (what a perfect name) is from smashbox LIMITLESS LONG WEAR LIPGLOSS.  Many, many colors to choose from but this one is simply perfect. Very light pink, just like a rose petal, it makes the lips soft looking with the right amount shine – Absolutely kissable. It has SPF 20.
 

 
I should mention that I completely dislike the wand applicator.  It’s cheap (seems like it’s going to snap in half if I press too hard), doesn’t grab enough product and I could do without the useless slanted tip.  They really need to work on it.

The formula itself is a little sticky – I always feel weird to talk about gloss stickiness though. After all, aren’t they all sticky to a certain degree??? Well, this one is light on the viscous scale. It that has a slight scent, nothing really bothersome or noticeable. The scent dissipate quickly.  In terms of wear I felt it performed well. Several hours with no problem.

So ladies and brides to be, if you’re still searching for a lovely nude lip combo with a slight punch this one might just be the right one for you.

Don’t you just love room service?

So lovelies I’m blogging from Atlanta, sitting on my bed in my hotel room waiting for room service.  Room service is just the ultimate treat to me.  Feels so luxurious to be in a plush robe waiting for some yummy food to be delivered.

In case you’re wondering why I’m in Georgia,  I am attending LashDip certification. What is LashDip?  The later and greatest in lash enhancement!!! I’m beyond excited.
