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.

OOTD#23: Christmas Party

Hey girls, 

I know it's long over due but this is what I wore to the Christmas party for work. I had my hair extentions on like all the time and I had them sleeked back and middle parted. And for my jewleries, I didn't wear anything more than usual.

Leggings: Zara

Shoes: Payless

For my makeup I only had a thick simple black liquid liner and a fresh natural face and nice highlight.

OOTD #22: The Jersey

Hey girls,

Hope you all had a wonderfull summer. It wasn't the best here in Montreal but we did the best with what we had. I'm not someone who wears a lot of dresses when comes the summer. I still appreciate my jeans and t-shirt. This is a look I wore a lot during the summer. It was also work appropriate and since the air conditioning is always at full blast at work I didn't get cold or anything like that.

I love pairing all this with a really simple pair of sandals.

OOTD #21: Justin Timberlake's concert

Hey girls,

I went to Justin's concert a couple of weeks ago. IT WAS AMAZING by the way if you were wondering. I waited a year to finally see him. His shows were reported here in Montreal and let me tell you it was worth every second I had to wait. This was a brief review and it doesn't make justice to the actual show. Anyways I just wanted to show you girls what I decided to wear that evening. Of course I choose to wear black and white to try and stay into the theme of the concert. I went with my sister and she was so trilled that I choose her to come with me knowing all my friends loves him. I didn't take that many pictures of the actual concert but I certainly didn't forget to make pictures of my outfit for you girls.
