FOTD: Neutral Eye and Bright Pink Lip

Hola beauty buffs!*_*! A gorgeous neutral look worn with a bright, pink lip; one of my more 'toned-down' looks. I wore this out with the family, and kept it when I hung with the girls at dinner and to a 'Beer Fest-eque' event. 
I had a great time shopping for classroom tools with my mummy and twin sister, because, I'm a teacher's Aid, my sister is studying to be a teacher, and my mummy is a teacher. And I really enjoyed spending time with my close girlfriends; we went to a Japanese restaurant Ichiban, then we went to a Beer house event with tons of Bahamian beer, 'Kalik'.

FOTD: Airbrushed Pink Lilacs

Hola beauty buffs!*_*! How is everyone doing now that we've started a new year? Well, I hope! Wish me good luck with my new job working as a Teaching Assistant tomorrow. With God's grace, I'll be aiding grade ones with either literacy or numeracy work. 

Below are a few photos of a look I did using the Coastal Scents 42 Double Stack Palette for the first time, along with some Coastal Scents brushes. They really did make all the difference in terms of application. Obviously I will be doing a haul, review and post featuring those items and the Manly Palette that I've had for a while. I haven't seen many reviews on either palette, so maybe you'll read/watch mine?

Vell Muddoes*: Krystia's Decmeber Haul

Hola beauty buffs!*_*! I'm just now posting it up, but hey, who are we kidding, I've been using some of these products for a while; give or take a month or two. It'll just be our little secret, though- hehe.  However, if you follow my blog and are a reader* then you'll be able to match the pictures to the name, so to speak. I actually have a bunch of stuff that I've been meaning to post, but somehow got distracted from doing so; thus, they've piled up. In an effort to resolve this conundrum of mine, I've decided to break my December haul into Lips, Face, & Eye products.

Vell Muddoes*: Krystia's Decmeber Haul Lips

1-NYC Liquid Lip Shine 552U Cappuccino 
- a light coloured beige lip gloss that looks better when paired over another l/g or lipstick to tone down.
- the colour gets lost among the shimmers, so it's not as richly coloured as I hoped. However, some people may like that, as it may complement them.

- pleasant aroma

- nice packaging & lots of product. 2/5* stars

2-NYC Liquid Lip Shine 538U Pink Sand
- a sheer pink l/g that is a perfect nude lip, it can be paired over l/s or with l/g.
- looks great worn alone for a subtle, everyday look.
- pleasant aroma
- nice packaging & lots of product.
- love it (L) 5/5* stars

3-NYX Goddess of the Night lipgloss LG127 w/Mega Shine Pink Frost
- a luminescent pink l/g with purple/blue undertones. 
-works great when paired with a similar toned lip stick, or worn alone but blended in well.
- fruity/pleasant aroma
- unsure of how I feel about the wand, but it works well.
-  4/5* stars

4-L.A. Colors 398 Lipstick Pink-A-Boo
- more of a matte looking l/s and should be paired with a nude gloss for a hit of luster.
- seems like it should be pink, however it's more blue based. So it looks like a soft lilac colour. The colour must be built up.
- nothing too special about the packaging or aroma. 
- I like it when layered with a nude gloss, but I rarely wear it alone; it's too bright and blue-based for my skin tone. However, fairer skin tones may like it. 3/5* stars

5-LA Splash Waveliner Lip Defining Lipliner L29 Pink Diamonds
- a bright pink with purple undertones.
- product does not apply well on my lips, but when swatched, it applied very well.
- super drying on my lips.
- did not perform as a lip liner should. When I applied my lip stick, it just spread around and looked odd. So I really had to work with it in order to get it looking right. 2/5* stars

1-NYC Liquid Lip Shine 552U Cappuccino

2-NYC Liquid Lip Shine 538U Pink Sand

3-NYX Goddess of the Night lipgloss LG127 w/Mega Shine Pink Frost

4-L.A. Colors 398 Lipstick Pink-A-Boo

5-LA Splash Waveliner Lip Defining Lipliner L29 Pink Diamonds

Index

-reader* someone who actually takes the time to read a blog that they follow, not simply scroll for pics like a 5-year old

-Vell Muddoes* a Bahamian colloquial term(a common dialect phrase) used as a statement of shock/surprise/disbelief; used jokingly
- I don't know if I qualify under those FTC guidelines, given that I live outside of the U.S and we don't have those kinds of laws here. However, just in case; I bought all the products myself and was not sent any of these, by anyone for a paid review.
