Top 5 Summer Lipsticks: NYX





Hello Beauties!! I have missed you as it has been two weeks, I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday weekends. Today I am bringing you, as anticipated, my top 5 summer lipsticks. These lipsticks are my "go to" lipsticks. I did not even realize that they where all NYX but in all actuality it makes since because that IS my most owned lip brand in my collection lol. It is an extremely affordable brand with great quality. All of these products cost between five and seven dollars. 
Now before I dig into the top 5, I have a few disclaimers. The first one is that I usually only wear these when my face makeup is done or half way done. With that being said I would suggest adding a small layer of lip balm, lining your lips and/or filling in your lips with lip liner before applying any lipsticks or lip stains. These are the steps I take so this is something to consider when I am talking about the formula and the lasting power of each lipstick.  All of these happen to be a matte formula and sometimes I add a little gloss on top but not all the time. I enjoy having the option to do both. Lastly, there will be pictures of swatches within this blog. Keep in mind that everyone's complexion, lip shade, makeup look, etc. will all come into play when it comes to the actual coloration on YOUR face. The swatches are just an estimate and what they look like against my skin. 
Now that we got that out the way...lets get started!
Coming in at number five is a fun color that I would not consider an everyday color. This is the NYX soft matte lip cream in the shade Moscow. This shade is a basic navy blue. This is something that reminds me of the Kylie Jenner Mystic color except without all the metallic. This is a flat color that bleeds a lot in my opinion but that is without a lip liner underneath it. The day after I bought this and wore it for the first time is when I noticed it was becoming a trend. This is just a fun color that can bring a pop to a simple makeup look. The consistency of soft matte lip creams to me is extremely conformable, long lasting and build-able too. 




Number four on the countdown is this ashy, plum, purple color. This is a NYX matte lipstick in the shade Up The Bass. This is also an extremely comfortable formula. Very similar to the soft matte lip cream but instead of using an applicator to apply it, you just apply a normal stick formed lipstick. This is a toned down fun color that is good for day or night. This color adds a slight pop without all the dramatics. 












HERE COME THE NUDES LOL! I have been a huge fan of nudes all summer because they go with anything, they are easy to pack in my purse for reapplication and they go well with all seasons. This color is another ashy color. (ashy meaning cool toned) This is a brownie toupee that is cool toned. This color is from the NYX Lingerie collection in the shade Honeymoon. This formula is different than anything else I have tried. It goes on extra extra creamy and dries matte but does not make your lips look cracked. This is more of a lipid lipstick. It is  the MOST LONG LASTING color I own. It is extremely hard to remove. (I had to use an oil to remove it) The formula is different for me but it lasts and does not bulge once it is place. For my skin tone I believe this shade is not toolight and not too dark. It can dress up a makeup look without making it look like you tried to dress it up. 


Number two and number one are really in a tie because I wear them both the most often. Number two is another soft matte lip cream in the shade Zurich. This is a peachy nude that is perfect for any skin tone. It is perfect for any makeup look, even hardly any at all. I absolutely love this color and wear it all the time!! 





NUMBER ONE.  This color may not be considered a nude to some people but on my face, this color is very close to my actually lip color it just brightens it a bit. This color is from the NYX Suede line in the shade Tea and cookies. This shade is the perfect nude, baby pink color with slight purple reflects. This formula goes on smooth and creamy and dries to a cream matte. I wear this almost every weekend (the only time I've been wearing makeup right now) I feel it just enhances natural beauty which is what makeup is for right?

DIY: DIVA RING LIGHT INSTRUCTIONS

Image
INTRODUCTION: Hello beautiful people, before we begin with the DIY,  I just wanted to quickly explain what it is I am making because not everyone knows just from reading the tittle. I have made my own version of a "Diva Ring Light". This is a circular light used for photos or videos. As you all know I am working to improve my blog page and my YouTube page. Lighting is one of the main ways I can do that. By researching I have seen that a circular ring is good for lighting from all angles shoulders and up. When doing this project keep in mind that the color of your LED lights that you choose should be called "daylight" or "cool white". This color of LED lights will show the most true to color on pictures or videos. I did this DIY because the total coast was about $30 opposed to the $300 that the "Diva Ring Light" coast. I am a college student and ballin' on a budget! I will have materials, prices,  detailed steps and finished product with pict...

Take a Small Break From Social Media 😱🚫

Image
Hello, my beautiful friends! Today's topic will be on something I just experienced for myself. Why would it be beneficial to take a small break from social media? I just recently went on a vacation and during this vacation, I really wanted to focus on myself, bible study and most of all relaxation and enjoying my family. It was an international trip so I chose to keep my wifi off and not go on social media for four days. This was something I thought I could share because this is a break you can take while on vacation or not. This is something I will incorporate once a month just to reduce stress and have more time to do other things that are important to me. One reason I think that this break could be beneficial is because you would have so much more time to focus on a hobby or researching something that is important to you. For me, this was doing some digging in the bible and getting closer to God. This could also be more time for me to plan blogs or videos whic...

Skin Care Routine with Tips for Sunburned Face!! 🏊

Hello, my beautiful friends! I don't know about you but I have been taking full advantage of Mr. Sun this summer. I have been outside a lot and unconsciously exposing my face and body to the sun. Don't get me wrong I LOVE a good tan, but I do not want to damage my skin, especially the skin on my face. During the whole year, I have a skin care routine that I stick to and have been sticking to that keeps my face as clear as possible. This blog will be about what I do to take care of my face as well as a few things I add for the summertime sun. **Something to remember while reading this blog is my skin tone. I have extremely oily skin in my t-zone (your t-zone is your forehead, down your nose and your chin area). I would consider my cheeks to be normal to dry. Anywhere that I experience sunburn on my face is always extremely dry so I have to avoid over moisturizing my t-zone but put enough on the areas that are sunburned. I burn on the corners of my forehead, a lit...
