Period! Haha I've tried to like it, and the moisturizing properties *are* great, but I'd rather use lip balm at night. It's just not my thang.<br /><br />I love Tarte, too! They have some amazing products. What else do you like from Korres? <br /><br />And sure, I'll swatch the BB cream when I review it! Fortunately I haven't had any pore-clogging issues.<br /><br />I've got a post on natural makeup coming up soon as well, would you like to do a beauty interview since you use so many natural products?Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299841558390217795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969353304805269004.post-15411878944820336912011-08-10T23:04:57.181-05:002011-08-10T23:04:57.181-05:00Did you buy any of the VV stuff?
Haha, if you have...Did you buy any of the VV stuff?<br />Haha, if you have any lipsticks, I can swap you for my to the beach thrills lipstick! :)<br /><br />I am not sure of MAC's return policy either, since I've never returned anything...<br /><br />Have you tried wearing lipstick and then gloss over it? It makes the color last so much longer, since gloss tends to slip off.<br /><br />I love using a neutral *mac warm me up* + the VV cruela gloss (red I forgot what is the name) over it! I also have the WW red gloss those tubes are HUGE! And I own the nitrolicious from the bloggers obsession.<br /><br />At first I didn't like glosses since they are sticky but I noticed they are much more moisturizing than lipsticks & it gives a subtle color without clumping if that makes sense, but I do prefer lipstick since it's quick & mess free (I can apply straight from the tube), since for glosses I prefer using a lip brush since the applicator for glosses usually have too much, which means overdose of gloss LOL.<br /><br />I did try the oil-free one, it felt too thick for my likings, but I did try it since I've read of the raves.<br /><br />Korres is great! I also like Tarte, though I wish Tarte would have made a silicone free primer (I've tried their primer & I suppose I'm allergic to silicone, irritated my skin).<br />I know Korres as a silicone free primer but it's quite pricey for the tube :(.<br /><br />Will you be reviewing the BB creams with swatches?<br />I personally have heard tons of rave reviews on the BB creams, but I don't want to try it, since many things irritate/break out my sensitive skin unless it's all natural. Though, I've read that the BB creams make your skin worse since it clogs the pores!Aquanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969353304805269004.post-48231514823317807672011-08-10T21:00:45.506-05:002011-08-10T21:00:45.506-05:00I swatched the NatureLuxe lipsticks at the drugsto...I swatched the NatureLuxe lipsticks at the drugstore and the texture was lovely but none of the colors really blew me away, so I skipped buying them. <br /><br />I loved the VV packaging too! But it's so awkward when the colors you love don't go along with the packaging you like! I'm such a sucker for pretty packaging. And yeah, maybe you could try exchanging the frost lipstick the counter. I'm not sure what MAC's return policy is, but it couldn't hurt to try?<br /><br />I MUCH prefer lipsticks over gloss any day! I ilke COLOR on my lips, you know? Lip gloss color never lasts, it's sticky and messy and doesn't go on evenly, to me it's just blech! But if someone has never worn a red lip before, gloss can be a good way to ease into it. My mom, on the other hand, absolutely loves lip gloss and she thinks the stickier, the better! Haha it all comes down to preferences :) The UD gloss I mentioned in this post is about the only gloss I care for. What about you? Which do you prefer?<br /><br />I haven't tried that many TMs, but I'm so glad you found one that works for you! I know LM makes an oil-free version of her TM if you ever want to check out her brand again. I'd love to try more products from Korres! Right now I'm using their shower gel and I've *almost* bought their mango butter lipstick too many times to count. Haha I'm trying not to spend money too :)<br /><br />The TMs I own are Sephora's brand and one by Alison Rafaele. I prefer Sephora's, but both work for me. I've got a Stila TM sample I'll probably get into tomorrow! The shade is medium, though, which my skin is decidedly NOT, so I dunno how that's going to turn out! Have you ever heard of BB Creams? I'm working on a post about them now, they have all the benefits of a TM, plus anti-aging treatment benefits, with the coverage of a foundation! It's amazing stuff, I'm obsessed with my BB Cream. The drawback is that it ships from Korea. From what I've read the BB Creams being released in America right now aren't really the same thing. Haha but that's a whole other post :)<br /><br /> I've got a Favorites tab right underneath my banner that takes you to a page of my favorite products. I updated it last month but now it needs to be updated again, I think!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299841558390217795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969353304805269004.post-76115569155334739132011-08-10T18:27:07.135-05:002011-08-10T18:27:07.135-05:00I kinda want to try the new Cover Girl Natureluxe ...I kinda want to try the new Cover Girl Natureluxe lipsticks but I am trying not to spend any money!<br />Have you tried them?<br /><br />Haha, it never hurts to have a backup, and the packaging always gets me. I love the Venomous Villains packaging though, I only have the Heartless lipstick, Cruella's packaging design was the worst :(, but nonetheless I prefer the colors that came with her VV stuff.<br /><br />Do you prefer red glosses or red lipsticks?<br /><br />Haha, I have over 10 MAC lipsticks, I guess I'm a MAC lippie addict, though, I'm sure people have more than that! But it was just one that turned into many :(. I don't use them that often either, so I suppose I will never run out!<br /><br />Which is your favorite TM?<br />I absolutely love the Korres TM since it doesn't break out my sensitive/acne prone skin & it gives just enough coverage. I tried the LM one but it clogged my pores :(.<br /><br />You should totally post a blog post on your favorites, like favorite lipstick, gloss, balm, TM, moisturizer, etc etc. <br /><br />You mean exchange the frost lipstick at the MAC counter? Though it's from the collection, not sure if they let. Unless you mean swapping?Aquanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969353304805269004.post-60428480847469664582011-08-10T12:52:25.338-05:002011-08-10T12:52:25.338-05:00Ooh, I'll have to try the Miliani lipsticks! ...Ooh, I'll have to try the Miliani lipsticks! My first ever lipstick was Cover Girl's Moisture Shine in high school and it smelled like watermelons, too! It was the greatest drugstore lipstick ever, but CoverGirl phased it out. I don't even know if it's still available anymore.<br /><br />Haha I was totally tempted to get the WW Russian Red. The packaging was so great! Then the Voice of Reason took over: "You already HAVE this, silly!"<br /><br />I'm not wild about Frost lipsticks either! Sucks that you never got to use that one. Maybe you can exchange it?<br /><br />Oh trust me, it gets used! I like variety and on different days my skin needs different products. Some days I can get away with powder or tinted moisturizer, some days my skin is inexplicably angry and I need some heavier coverage! Haha some days my makeup bag feels like an arsenal. I go through foundations and concealers pretty quickly. I use eyeshadows less frequently, but I love having a variety of shades on hand. And lipsticks? They get rotated. There are always colors I come back to! <br /><br />I'm honestly pretty careful about what I buy. I'm the queen of impulse purchases, but only if I know it's a product I'll use! <br /><br />Using a balm underneath a matte lipstick can change the matte-ness of the formula on your lips, but it IS a great way to keep your lips moisturized! It's way less drying that way and is what I usually do, actually. But for true color and true matte texture, a lip primer is the way to go. It all depends on your preference, really.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299841558390217795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969353304805269004.post-19203066324666619642011-08-10T01:36:01.106-05:002011-08-10T01:36:01.106-05:00Haha, yeah surprisingly I loved the swatches I saw...Haha, yeah surprisingly I loved the swatches I saw online so much it's my FIRST ever red lipstick, or lipstick purchase that isn't drugstore. Then I was hooked on MAC lipsticks since they don't have that gross "plastic" taste, but the lovely vanilla extract :).<br /><br />If you love the scents, the new Miliani lipsticks have a watermelon scent & tastes it's quite fruity childrens candy like flavor.<br /><br />Yeah, I really want to try the Russian Red, I was tempted to buy the Russian Red WW packaging but didn't have the funds at the moment to splurge on a lipstick that I wasn't certain about.<br /><br />Haha, I actually don't like the Frost lipsticks MAC has. It's too shimmery for my liking, I have the Thrills (to the beach collection) why I bought it I have no idea! I didn't even touch it.<br /><br />What do you do with all your makeup that you don't use?? Since it seems you review a lot of them!<br /><br />For the matte lipsticks do you also use a balm underneath, apply, then blot and apply again?Aquanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969353304805269004.post-19965769536977359942011-08-09T23:15:39.147-05:002011-08-09T23:15:39.147-05:00I own Viva Glam Cyndi too, and I love it. It'...I own Viva Glam Cyndi too, and I love it. It's such a great everyday color. The texture is wonderful, but you know what my favorite thing about MAC lipsticks is? They smell like marshmallows! A guy at a MAC counter told me they contain a lot of vanilla extract : )<br /><br />Unfortunately Russian Red is matte, so you may not like it. I go through phases where I LOVE matte lipsticks, then phases where I can't stand them. Weird, right?<br /><br />A lip primer helps keep red lipstick in place better than anything. Another trick is to apply the lipstick, blot it with a tissue, and then apply another coat. Marilyn Monroe used LOTS and lots of lipstick layers!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299841558390217795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969353304805269004.post-61433504520571684772011-08-09T22:17:37.357-05:002011-08-09T22:17:37.357-05:00I love red lipstick!

I've also been hearing amazing things about CoverGirl's Lip Perfection. I haven't tried the red personally but I hear it's pretty fantastic! <br /><br />@Melina How does one go about submitting it? Is there a certain time frame I've got to send it in? I've almost bought Dragon Girl several times! I was sick of matte lipsticks for a while but I'm wearing them again now.
