NO BUY NOVEMBER PART3 LIP PRODUCTS

Hi everyone,


I cannot believe we are already in mid of week three here on the "No Buy November" and this week we are looking at lip products that have been hibernating in our stash and need to come out. Again I have several to share as lips and eyes are my two favourite types of beauty products. To me there is nothing sexier then a good set of lips.

WOW ladies hopefully you all have been good this month and didn't sway from the "NO BUY" because we are almost there, 11 days and then its beauty buying freedom again. However I have found it rather easy to do this "No Buy" because for starters I don't buy a lot of high end and there has not been a lot at drugstore level that has been making my heart flutter for the holidays. I also have been busy doing Christmas shopping, decorating and doing fun family activities that has been filling my time and taking my mind off buying beauty products that I really don't need.
Any way after that randomness lets get started.

First are three lipsticks that I really love, but with how many I have it's hard to keep up.

ELIZABETH ARDEN EXCEPTIONAL LIPSTICK IN- CORALINE

 

 

NYX CREAMY ROUND LIPSTICK IN-POWER

 

 

 

REVLON SUPER LUSTROUS MATTE LIPSTICK IN- 011 STORMY PINK

 



 

I am enjoying that the lipsticks I have been reaching for all offer something different the Elizabeth Arden is a nice shimmer shade, the Nyx lipstick has great opacity and is very rich on the lips and the Revlon is the perfect matte lipstick all around without being overdrying.

 

L2R: CORALINE, POWER & STORMY PINK

 

 

I also have three glosses to share which now that we are heading into winter I tend to reach for more. They tend to keep my lips moisturized longer and I like shiny lips especially out in the sunshine and snow.

 

BATH & BODY WORKS LIPLICIOUS IN - WHIPPED VANILLA

 

BEAUTIFUL SHIMMER AND YUMMY TASTE

 

 

TONY MOLY CRYSTAL GLAM COLOR GLOSS (CAN'T TELL YA THE NAME AS IT'S ALL WRITTEN IN KOREAN) SORRY!

 



 

I LIKE THIS GLOSS BECAUSE IT ALMOST SEEMS FROSTY WITH IT'S BEAUTIFUL LIGHT PURPLE HUE, I ACTUALLY FORGOT I HAD THIS AND WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED WHEN I WAS RUMMAGING, GREAT WINTER LIPPY:)

 

 

NYC CITY PROOF EXTENDED WEAR LIPGLOSS IN- ROUND THE CLOCK RUBY

 

THIS IS TRULY A CANDY APPLE RED THAT IS PERFECT FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND WHAT SHINE AND PIGMENT

 

 

LASTLY ALL THOUGH I TOTALLY LOVE MY BARE ENGLISH & CO. LIP BALMS I STILL WILL REACH FOR OTHER'S AS WELL AND THE TWO I HAVE BEEN USING THIS PAST WEEK OR SO ARE BOTH BY SOFTLIPS WHICH ARE

 

 

SOFTLIPS PURE LIP BALM CALLED- BERGAMOT PURE

 

AND SOFTLIPS NOURISH IN - FRESH LAVENDER

 

 

I have had both of these lip balms for quite some time and I believe I picked them both up at my local Dollarama. They are super hydrating and the one called PURE really is a lip rescue in a tube. Times my lips have been severely chapped this is the only product that will help next to Vaseline.  

 

HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED THIS LOOK AT MANY VARIETIES OF LIP PRODUCTS AND MAYBE DISCOVERED SOMETHING YOU MIGHT WANT TO TRY.

 

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE LIP PRODUCTS FOR WINTER AND CHAPPED LIP RELIEF?

 

THANKS FOR READING

 

STAY BEAUTIFUL XO



 



 

 



 

ELIZABETH ARDEN CREAM MAKEUP, RADIANT BRONZING POWDER AND LIPSTICK

Every time I hear the words "Elizabeth Arden" I think of Red Door perfume. I actually am not a fan of this fragrance, but have become familiar with it's presence over the years.

When it comes to cosmetics I have never tried anything from Elizabeth Arden till now. Two items were gifted to me and a lipstick I recently purchased on a very deep discount.

FLAWLESS FINISH SPONGE ON CREAM MAKEUP
02 GENTLE BEIGE
Upon first impression I don't think this is a foundation suitable for oily skin types. It is very thick and has an oily slip to it. I have applied this once and worn it for a couple of hours and did not like the heavier feel of it on my face. In this day and age of lightweight fluid foundations, bb and cc creams it's hard to enjoy such products as this, unless you need to heavily conceal your skin do to imperfections, dark spots or scaring. This would probably be ideal for photos or filming. However if your a person who has pimples I would not recommend this as it tends to settle around the raised surface and leave a cakey affect even if you buff it out.

 

This shade is currently a touch dark for me, but due to a lot of sun exposure it may very well work closer to my skin tone nearing the end of summer. I will continue to work with this cream foundation and see if anything will sway my current feelings about it. I feel that this type of foundation works best for people with very normal skin that is not to oily, but not super dry either.

 

Apparently this cream foundation has  micronized diamond powder in it, which helps reflect the light in order to give skin that flawless finish drawing attention away from imperfections and fine lines.

 

There is a mild scent to this foundation you get 23g for about $45

 

 

PURE FINISH RADIANT BRONZING POWDER (NEW YORK IN BLOOM COLLECTION)

I was extremely excited to give this a go when I received it because as some of you may know from reading, I am a huge bronzer fan. I wear it almost daily, even if I wear nothing else on my skin.

I love the embossed daisy pattern on this bronzer, so feminine and fresh looking. I really enjoy that more companies are bring back an era of makeup design that was once a staple with all makeup, which are these patterns and designs in pressed powders, bronzers and even lipsticks.

There is a great deal of sparkle overspray on this bronzer, but it will wear off after several uses, just be aware.

 

Once the initial sparkle is gone the bronzer it self is quite nice and is very finely milled. When running your brush over it there is some kick back. I find on my already tanned skin this is a nice compliment to it, but if you are fair skin be sure to choose your shade wisely. I don't smell any fragrance which is nice, to many products are overly fragrant which can be very irritating to the nose and eyes for people sensitive to scent. It can also agitate certain skin types.

 

You get .35oz/10g for $40

 

 

Last item today

 

I thought I would share this all though I think a handful of these lipsticks have been discontinued, but I can also recommend a possible stand in if you can't get a hold of the colour I am about to show you

 

EXCEPTIONAL LIPSTICK 06 CORALINE

I got this at the deep discounted price of $6 when these lipsticks normally run at $25. There was no tester available any longer for this colour and I just grabbed it on a whim. I am glad I did so. It turned out to be a really pretty coral peach toned lipstick with a beautiful gold highlight. Think rose gold, but peachier. I love this colour and am glad I went in buying it blindly. I will be reaching for this often over the coming days.

 

 

I decided to photograph it outside to show the true beauty of it's very dimensional colour.
