Sooo... last month in October I went crazy with lipsticks, mind you-I'm a lip gloss girl, so why did I buy new lipsticks when I have about a dozen that I don't wear that much? Beats me, but the real reason is because I wanted to purchase lipsticks from other brands. All of my lipsticks are from Mac so I wanted to broaden my horizons. Anyway, I bought 1 lipstick from Black Radiance, 1 from Wet n Wild and 2 lipsticks from Iman. It was my first time purchasing these lipsticks from all three brands. I can honestly say that all of the lipsticks were very moisturizing and the color doesn't fade after wearing it for a few hours. The prices ranged from .99 cent to $9.00.

The camera doesn't do it justice but it's a plum berry-wine color it's beautiful!   This is Iman wearing Wild Thing...

Fall and Autumn are here, I always love the pretty leaves turning colors. When I was little I used to paint pictures of the fall leaves now I just paint faces! The colors that I used in this look are inspired of  the Autumn leaves :) I've been wanting to use some of my makeup that I don't use that much, so in this look I've used all kinds of makeup brands. I did some practicing with highlighting under my eyes. I also did some contouring around my nose to make it look smaller, but it came out looking like the scarecrow (pointy nose) from Wizard of Oz, lol; so I removed the contour. I also used 5 eye shadows in this look, I normally don't use that many shadows but I was in the mood for color experimenting :) My camera didn't do my foundation any justice at all, and it made my lipstick look to bright, but anyways...here's the look.
