My new lip secret...

I talk for a living. It is always a battle to find a way to keep your lipstick not looking a hot mess. I found one way to keep my lips looking luscious without having that super matte look.

1. Moisturize your lips. (I use EOS - lemon)

2. I learned that you have to allow the moisturizer to set before applying anything else and sometimes I even blot the extra oil off.

3. Lip pencil in color of choice.

4. My secret ingredient... Nyx Soft Matte lip creams  - These work magic on top of a lip pencil to make an immovable layer of color under my lipstick. It is freaking great! Let it set before beginning the next step.

5. Lipstick (If you use the Wet n Wild matte lipstick it will come out like a paint stain for the lips... 16 HR wear)



I bought a $25 certificate on Social Goodies. You pay $25 for $50 worth of products. I think I ordered every color I could. I will try to do some looks with this.

Social Goodies

I like sites like Social Goodies. It create discounts similar to groupon. I've been watching them because they are the only site that sales discounted product for NYX (on the site it says you pronounce it "nicks" but I always want to say N. Y. X.)


I love using the lip creams. I use them on my lips the way you would use primer/pots on the eyes. I need some more colors because I just have a few. This would be a great way to get what I want for 50% off. YES! Who isn't a sucker for a bargain.


I need some more colors to add to my minor collection. It creates an awesome base! I'll have to do a tutorial on that one. I really wanted to get their version of Urban Decay's Naked palette. Lord knows I refuse to spend $50 on eyeshadows.
