Nothing is more yummy than a pair of bright pink, juicy lips. Unless there are hot dogs. I love hot dogs.

Recent drug store make-up haul!  There is really no such thing as having "too much make-up".  After all, there are infinite looks and combinations!  

Founder of Lipstick Queen, Poppy King recently collaborated with Target and crafted a line of creamy lipsticks (and lip glosses but I'm really just interested in the stickies) for Boots No.7.  I bought 3 in the shades of Power, Allure and Glamour.  I love, LOVE them.  They're fairly pigmented and the colours are easy to wear.  They also glide on super smooth!  Easy application, who doesn`t love?  I can`t say if they`re long-wear or not, mainly because I`m always sipping from a cup or snacking on something so the colour naturally just fades as time goes by.  But for sure I know that they did not dry out my lips like many lipsticks do.  I was quite impressed by this, as I have really dry lips.  And for $9.99 a tube, I just can`t complain.  You really get more than what you pay for.



In the last few months, I've noticed bloggers online have been raving about L'oreal's Infallible Eyeshadows ($8.69CDN at Walmart) and Maybelline's Baby Lips ($3.49CDN at Walmart).  I like the Baby Lips; they're superbly moisturizing.  I bought 3: Peppermint, Pink Punch and Peach Kiss.  I've started using Pink Punch and I was surprised to find that it's actually more pigmented than you would expect from a tinted moisturizer.  I've swatched some stickies for comparison.


Left to right:  Baby Lips 25-Pink Punch | Rouge Dior 351-Elegant Pink | Rouge Dior 349 Pink Junon | L'oreal 285 Pink Fever (Yeahhhhhh I like pink!)

I haven't had a chance to try the Infallibles but I love the colours already.  And I love anything shiny and metallic so really, I can't imagine what could go wrong with these babies!  I bought Sahara Treasure (Light taupe), Goldmine (gold), Flashback Silver (silverish light violet) and Emerald Lame (gold tinted green).  I'm excited to PLAY!

  1. Haha, I see you took my suggestion and tried out Lipstick Queen x Boots. I have Power and Glamour too! Did you see History? It's super super red but I think it would look good on you.
