TOM FORD LIPSTICK *BLUSH NUDE*



As you all may already know, I love and adore lipsticks. I have probably may too many and really don't need any more. However when I come across a shade, texture, and/or quality of a lipstick that I just can't pass up, I will purchase it. I was watching one of my favorite beauty guru's on YouTube (Lisalisad1) and she was wearing such a beautiful color on her lips. She mentioned that the lipstick she was wearing was Tom Ford's new Private Blend Lipstick in the color "Blush Nude". I have heard many great things about Tom Ford's lipsticks, but have never tried or purchased any until now.


Unfortunately mine had a little accident, so please excuse the tiny dash on the left side. I did get a discount, so this minor damage didn't really bother me. Honestly, I can't believe I never tried any of these lipsticks sooner. Not only is the packaging gorgeous and ultra chic, but the quality and consistency are amazingly perfect. It's creamy, very moisturizing, and is extremely long wearing.


Tom Ford's "Blush Nude" is a light pinky nude shade with a hint of mauve. The color is just so pretty that it makes most of my other nude lipsticks look plain in comparison. Tom Ford Lipstick contains rare and exotic ingredients including soja seed extract, Brazilian murumuru butter and chamomile flower oil create an ultra-creamy texture with an incredibily smooth application. Specially treated color pigments are blended to deliver pure color with just the right balance of luminosity.




In my honest opinion, overall this lipstick gets a ten. It delivers incredible color, has amazing texture, and lasts long on the lips. I can defiantly say that this lipstick is one worth having. Retails for $48, which is defiantly alot for just a small lipstick that only has 3g. of product, but if your looking to splurge on one beauty item and you love nude lipsticks, then defiantly check this one out. I really hope you enjoyed this post, I would love to know if you've tried any of Tom Ford's lipsticks, and if you have please share them in the comment section below. Thankyou:)

FRESH SUGAR LIP TREATMENT



I know I recently just did a post on Revlon's lip butters, but I've came across a product that I just had to share with you guys. I know many of you probably have heard about this product already, or even own it by now. The product is FRESH'S Sugar Lip Treatment and it is the only one I have tried so far. There are many other tinted colors, but I mainly purchased the plain original one, for moisturizing purposes only.


I've used this lip treatment for 2 weeks and can already see a difference in my lips. They always feel soft and hydrated, and my lipstick goes on much more smoother and looks alot better on my lips. I love that I don't have to apply it so often as I would other lip balms and/or lip conditioners.


The lip treatment doesn't leave any color on the lips, which is perfect for when I put my lipstick on. The texture is very smooth, not sticky, and feels very silky on the lips.


I am defiantly hooked on this product and will defiantly repurchase. I absolutely love the packageing, very sleek. My favorite part is the twist screw closure.


I love that you can throw it in your purse and not worry about it opening and getting messed up. Overall this is a wonderful product. It retails at $22.50 and I purchased mine at Sephora during their 20% off Friends & Family Sale, so I did get it for a bit cheaper. I still highly recommend trying this lip treatment, right now Sephora has many holiday sets with these Fresh lip treatments, that are very great deals. If you haven't checked them out, defiantly do.
Thanks so much for reading, if you have tried this product or any of the other tinted ones, please let me know in the comment section below:)

MAC ~GLITTER & ICE~



MAC released their new holiday collection, which had three parts. The first part was their Glitter & Ice Collection, which is the only part I purchased any products from. I know i'm pretty late in posting this, but I still wanted to share with you the few products i purchased.
First and foremost, I have to say that the overall packaging for this collection is gorgeous, and in my opinion, defiantly the best I've seen in many past collections that MAC has released, with special packaging.
The white packaging is so sleek and beautiful, I absolutely love it! The three products I picked up from this collection were a lipstick, beauty powder, and a paint pot.

~LIPSTICK~
 
MAC's "Double Spin" lipstick is a light lavendar beige shade. It's absolutely gorgeous on the lips, very light and looks really pretty layered over other lipsticks. It is a cremesheen which I love, very creamy and smooth when applied. Defiantly make sure your lips are well hydrated, to achieve the perfect pout, since it's so creamy it can enhance lines on the lips. I think out of all the other lipsticks from this collection, this one is the most universal, I think it would look beautiful on any skin tone.

~BEAUTY POWDER~



MAC's "SnowGlobe" Beauty Powder is a very light, glowy white powder. It can be used all over the face to give it a lovely glow, or it can be used as a highlight powder for on top of the cheek bones. I personally love using this as a highlighting powder, it gives my cheekbones a very light glowy sheen, that looks very natural and unintentional, which i love. I think if you like that subtle glow either all over the face or as a highlight, than this beauty powder is for you.

~PAINT POT~



MAC's "Morning Frost" Paint Pot is a taupy, silvery white color. The only other paint pot I own from MAC, is Painterly, which I use every single day. I love the color payoff of Morning Frost, it does make every shadow I put over it pop! I will defiantly be using this paint pot alot, especially for this season, and maybe even post a makeup look using it.

I hope you enjoyed this very small MAC collection post, I know I am very late in posting this! I would love to know what you guys picked up from this collection, please share them in the comment section below, and thanks for reading:)
