New Obsession: Dark Lips

Hey girls, 

Today I wanted to talk to you about my new obsession. Dark Lips! I've seen so many pictures of girls on instagram wearing dark red, purple, vampy lips and I said to myself, why not me. Every fall to winter, the trend comes back so I made my research and since I didn't know if it was going to fit me I decided to look for a drugstore lipstick. The one I found and bought is the NYC Mahogany 320. It retails for 3.45$ in Canada. (0,99$ in the US)! 

Now when you are looking for a dark lipstick at the pharmacy you are better off swatching them on your hand because they are not all like what ever they appear to be in the packaging. Some of them were really shear and some of them are more pink! Some of them don't even have testers in the drugstore but all I did was take the name down and look at pictures on google and watch Youtube videos. By the way a little tip. When you are looking at pictures of a certain lipstick make sure the person wearing the lipstick has almost the same skin complexion as you like this you'll know or at least be close to knowing if it might look good on you. 

The first swatch is just one swipe and the one at the bottom is when you layer it. As you can see it's pretty rich. It's king of glossy but not too much. I usually just blot my lips once on a tissue and the shine goes away. I'm not going to lie it is drying on the lips. It was the only negative thing I could find untill now about the NYC lipstick. And if you can wear it with a lipliner even better. Your lips will look more defined. A good drugstore lipliner to pair with this lipstick is the Annabelle waterproof lipliner in the color Bordeaux.

This is what the lipstick looks like on me. I am not wearing a lipliner with this but I cleaned the edges with a concealer. 

If you are looking for a dupe there is the Revlon lipstick in the color Black Cherry you can try.
