REVIEW // Milani Metallic Lip Cream and Matte Liquid Eyeliner

  I have found the BEST Holiday lip product! It is super shiny, metallic, and lasts for a longggg time. It is the Milani Amore Matte Metallic Lip Cream. I saw someone post about this on Instagram awhile ago and I went on the hunt for it for MONTHS. I know you can order it online but I didn't feel like ordering something online that was only $8.99! I checked my local Ulta, Walmarts, CVS, and Targets that carried Milani and could NOT find it. I had given up until one day I had to work in a different town and I ran into the Walmart over there and guess what...THEY HAD IT! And they had one left of the two colors that I wanted so I scooped them up along with an eyeliner I have been looking for for a long time as well. This lipstick is amazing. I wore it through a 10hr work day, through eating and drinking and it DOESN'T MOVE.
  I think this lipstick would look beautiful for any Holiday parties that may be coming up. I even wore it for my Halloween Costume! :D

  The eyeliner that I was looking for is the Milani Stay Put Matte 17hr Wear Liquid Eyeliner (whew..they don't like short easy names do they?!) but this eyeliner is "sweat proof" and "tear proof" which is amazing. One of my eyes tend to water a little more than the other one and I am an AVID liquid eyeliner girl and this eyeliner is practically the only one that does what it says..IT STAYS PUT. And it's only &7.99! I don't know why this eyeliner isn't talked about more often. It is now my GO TO.

 Here are a few pictures of the eyeliner and lipstick. Let me know what you think!

The first color is 01 Chromattic Addict. The second is 02 Matterialistic. I am also wearing the eyeliner in both pictures and it is 01 Black Matte of course.

 Typical me to forget to put on mascara and have wet hair! 

Luscious and Long Lasting Lips

  Over the past few months I have been obsessed with lipstick and tinted lip balm sticks.  I used to hate wearing anything other than regular chap stick on my lips, until one day I tried a little color and I LOVED it.  Now I practically wear something on my lips every day.  Whether it be a deep purple, red, pink, or a nude.  I want my color to last for a long time during the day.  I don't get too much time to stop and do touch ups while I'm at work. 
  No one wants their lips to lose their color an hour after wearing lip gloss, or their lipstick wearing off half way through the day.  SO, I have put together four easy steps that will help keep the color stay in tact for a long day, as well as, making your lips appear full and luscious.

Lip Liner: Rimmel London Exaggerate Full Colour Lip Liner in 057 Ravish
Lipstick: Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in 045 Raspberry

Step 1: Use your toothbrush to lightly exfoliate.  Just use water and light circular motions over your lips.  This gets the blood rushing up to your lips making them look and feel fuller.  This also gets rid of dead skin that your lip liner and lipstick would hold onto.

Step 2: Use lip liner to outline.  If your lips are uneven like mine are, this is how you would even them out to perfect the shape.  This is also just an outline so your lipstick doesn't go outside of the lines.

Step 3: Using your lip liner, color in your lips.  Work from the outside towards the middle but don't fill everything in.  By doing this, this helps the color become bolder and stay longer during the day.

Step 4: Apply your lipstick.  Do one or two strokes across the top and repeat on the bottom.

VOILA! Easy way for your lips to look full and luscious and to keep your color lasting for hours!

**Just a side note. I used my phone to take these pictures and to edit the process. So don't judge on the amateur quality!
