MY TOP FIVE FAVORITE LIPSTICKS

I've been meaning to make this post for so long now and I'm overjoyed to be able to share it now! I will be chatting in this post all about my favorite lipsticks that conveniently come from each color family (a pink, a dark pink, a red, a coral and a neon). Keep in mind that I do not like matte lipstick at all. I do own a few but those are my least favorite lipsticks in my collection, trust me! All five of these are moisturizing formulas while still remaining long-lasting.

From L to R: 1. Revlon Lip Butter in 'Sweet Tart', 2. Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in 'Pink Chic', 3. Maybelline ColorSensational Lipstick in 'Coral Lustre', 4. Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipstick in '01' and 5. Maybelline ColorSensational Vivids Lipstick in 'Shocking Coral'

now some on-lip photos...

Revlon Lip Butter in 'Sweet Tart'

This is the only non-lipstick of the crowd but it's definitely deserving of my Top Five. This lip butter is the absolute perfect mid-pink shade. It can be worn day or night and the creamy consistency of the lip butter range allows the color to wear off naturally and not get all funky. I could wear this every day for the rest of my life and be completely content!

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in 'Pink Chic'

This Rimmel shade is my favorite of the group by far. I have been wearing this lipstick shade for years now and it is always the one that I reach to when I'm uncertain on a look. I personally prefer pink lips over any other shade and Pink Chic is such a beautifully natural shade that still stands out and shows that you're wearing product on your lips. The Moisture Renew formulation is absolutely FABULOUS as well and the color lasts for hours while moisturizing your lips the whole time. LOVE x7549562!! If I were to recommend one of these five for you to try it would be this one. Go. Buy. It.

Maybelline ColorSensational Lipstick in 'Coral Lustre'

I looooooooove coral things. Nail polish, lipstick, clothing, everything. However, some things have a hard time actually pulling off a true coral without leaning too red or orange. This lipstick actually is a true true true coral both in the tube and applied on the lips. It's my go-to for a Summer evening but if you've got darker skin than I do(aka everybody), then this would most likely look nice on your year round!

Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipstick in '01'

Dun.. dun... DUN!!! Enter the best red lipstick EVER! I had given up on my reds from the drugstore for awhile and figured I would have to shell out some extra ca$h and go to MAC for my red lipstick but when Rimmel London came out with their Kate Moss Lasting Finish lipsticks and I saw that there was a true, cool red in the collection, I went out immediately and bought it. I've been in love ever since. The non-matte lipsticks in this collection have a similar formulation to the Moisture Renew ones from the same brand but are just a liiiiitle bit less moisturizing which ultimately makes them even longer lasting. If you need a cool-toned red I want to send you in the direction of this guy because I dare y'all to be disappointed. It can't disappoint!

ColorSensational Vivids Lipstick in 'Shocking Coral'

Lastly is another Maybelline lippie from their new Vivids subcategory(?) of their ColorSensational line. I went for this shade specifically because it had 'coral' in the name and of course I love me some corals and was initially let down since it didn't pull any way towards orange and was completely pink. Neon pink. It's definitely not what I expected but it ended up being a happy accident because I really do love this shade! You may think you would never want to wear neon pink lipstick but I assure you it's a super sassy and fun color. I also am a longtime fan of the entire ColorSensational lipstick line so it doesn't dry out and lasts for hours!

Now I recorded a video for YouTube but for some reason iMovie is rejecting my clip? But Blogger seemed to form a .gif of all my photos so enjoy!

Do you own any of these lippies? I wanna know what you think of them! Put it down in the comments below.

VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS 2013 BEST DRESSED

Running a little late over here but it not like this year's VMAs has already been forgotten... right?! I straight-up refuse to discuss a certain event because I'm just sickened and completely annoyed by the artist and their schenanigans. Onto the important things.. like Katy's performance! Swoon. I fall in love with that woman more and more every day. Okay, seriously. Important things. LIKE THE FASHION!

From L to R: Ariana Grande, Allison Williams, Ellie Goulding, Shailene Woodley and Mary Lambert

These five ladies are my top best dressed and are in no order whatsoever! I had a bit of trouble finding five as it seemed people did not really do it for me but after enough digging I did find this group and I love all of them.

First up is the world's newest sweetheart, Ariana Grande. I've been a fan of hers for awhile and it's very cool to watch her fame grow each month(it seems!) and I loved this floral dress of hers. The shoes were just as adorable as was her everyday long, curled hairstyle. The only thing I constantly strive of her is to fill in her brows!!!! It's the biggest pet peeve of mine! But who am I to judge somebody off of something like that? Silly. Overall, she's cute like always.

Second over is Allison Williams from the show 'Girls' and her overall look was so beautiful for me. The hair up and away from her face with that higher neckline, the smokey eyes and that cream color? Gorgeous. I don't personally know her or her work but she's an A+ in my fashion book!

Now, now now.. Ellie Goulding. I'm giving this lady my gold star for BEST DRESSED!!!! This gown was so absolutely perfect in every way. Loved the muted grey-blue color, the STUDS and that fantastic slit. That is a slit done correctly. Plus, her hair looked effortless and put-together. AAA+++, Ellie.

Another love of my life is Shailene Woodley. After watching some interviews of hers over the past few weeks I've grown into a bigger fan of hers as she is very classy and such a lovely girl. It's unfortunate that her first role that everybody knew her as was from 'Secret Life of the American Teenager' because that show was absolute rubbish. Terrible. It watered down her acting ability so much it should embarrass everybody involved in the show. I'm pumped to see her new movies coming out (Divergent and The Spectacular Now). Aside from her acting, her look was so chic. I love those kinds of tops when they're done correctly and she definitely pulled it off well.

Lastly was somebody that I just learned about, Mary Lambert. Also known as the woman in Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' 'Same Love'. Incredible voice and incredible tattoos. Man, can she rock them. Plus, I'm a sucker for a sequin gown and the color and fit really suited her nicely. Maybe a little too fancy for the VMAs but altogether put together nicely and totally sparkled when she was on stage to accept her award and perform!

I would love to know who your favorites were at the VMAs fashion-wise since I thought the pool was so shallow this year. Let me know in the comments!
