Anna Nicole by Jeffree Star Cosmetics

Today I received my Anna Nicole velour liquid lipstick by 

Jeffree Star Cosmetics via CocktailCosmetics.co.uk 

I am laughing out loud, literally, because this color matches my hair. My life is complete! 

Just like Redrum, this liquid lipstick is super matte but in no way drying or constricting on the lips. Amazing color choices aside, it is the texture that sells me with this fabulous product range. I wore Anna Nicole all day yesterday and there was no smudging or feathering. I barely needed to top up after dinner. Unlike many liquid lipsticks, this didn't cake during top up either. 

I plan on getting more colors soon but no matter where you are in the world, these 'lippies' are not easy to get your hands on! That is the only downside to the brand, supply and demand.

Classic Red Lips: My Favorites

There is nothing more classic about makeup than red lips. They suit everyone because of the thousands of shades and sheens available. I decided to pick out six of my favorite reds and share them with you. I have a English rose complexion but feel these reds would suit any skin tone.

A cult product from MAC Cosmetics, Ruby Woo is the most matte red lipstick available. You nearly have to drag it across the lips its so matte and solid. This classic red is unmovable once set into the lips. This is what I wore on my wedding day. It is absolutely kissable without transfer. I do not recommend it for dryer lips unless you prep the lips with chap-stick or MAC prep+prime lip primer.

This is definitely a color for the more adventurous type. This nearly neon orange-red is the perfect summer lip with a velvet matte finish that makes the lips pop! Especially recommended on nights out when your tan is intense, this color glows.

This is the perfect product for those with dry lips, especially those who find their lips cake easily with tube lipstick on. A pink-red, this color gives that vintage flare and oddly enough, this product smells really really good.

Not everyone feels they can rock a bright red lipstick so luckily there is this. A sheer classic red to give a soft glamorous look with a satin finish and a lot of lip hydration. This particular red is a bit pink but Chanel makes many shades of red!

Some want to a natural look but some want to be 'in your face' fabulous, like me. Well, this is the stuff. Most shocking pigmentation, most intense velvet matte finish, and most swagger because it was designed by the Almighty Jeffree Star. This product is hard to get your hands on but if you see it in stock, GRAB IT!

Lush Cosmetics are always a surprise to me on their luxurious feel and intense pigmentation (though slightly staining on the lips). 

Each LUSH color is given a name relevant to a trait or emotion you need more of in your life or that you possess already. Any LUSH team member can assist you in picking colors through their color wheel service or use their website and see what colors inspire your mind the most. 

I hope you enjoyed this post, I am currently working on putting together lip color posts for PINKS, NUDES, PURPLES, and DARKS. Xo Taylor

LOTD: Pretty in Pink

Today's subtle look using Illamasqua Aura Palette, Benefit Roller Lash Mascara and OCC Digitalis Lip Tar

Working with my beloved beauty blender I did my foundation, contour and blusher. So far this application sponge is worth its weight in gold. 

Sitting in the DPD depot that unexpectedly closed early on me is my Illamasqua order of their new gel contour sticks. 

Applied with the side of the palm, this intriguing gel gives a sculpted contour with a soft natural finish. 

Prepare for a massive review once it arrives! Co Taylor 

Jeffree Star Velour Lipstick

My idol, Jeffree Star, has opened the door to my dreams by starting a cosmetic range beginning with velour finish lipsticks. He makes a purple called I'm Royalty and his signature pink called Prom Night. I bought the classic red cleverly called Redrum because I do not have enough red lipstick, she said sarcastically.

First of all, the packaging and the tube itself, absolutely gorgeous. It makes me think of Barbie all grown up. It is so professional, so beautiful. The red is classic vintage red and dries with the matte velour finish that does not budge, does not blot off and is kissable!

Here I am, with my Jeffree Star inspired manicure (I am such a fan-girl for him!) 

The color in the tube is the same color and same strength whence applied. It dries quickly but my favorite thing about it is that unlike other ultra matte lip products- my lips do not feel dry. They feel hydrated and flexible. In other unnamed brands, I find lots of dryness which causes clumps when I top up the color later in the day.

The applicator is very unique. It has a deep bend that contours to the shape of the lip and makes application a very easy and flawless process. I have never bought a product with an applicator like this before. I love it!!!!

This is my sassy selfie with "eyebrows on fleek", my Jeffree Star manicure and my new favourite lip product of all time, Redrum by Jeffree Star Cosmetics. I will buy ANY product he makes and once I have money, EVERY product he makes.
