Limnit Lipstick in Ms. President Review!

I have a really short swatch and review for you today of Limnit Lipsticks 'Ms. President'.  I had tried Limnits' other colors before but when they announced their lipstick bullets were back in stock, I immediately picked one up!

Ms. President:  milky crimson.  The formula is drying after two hours and makes inner edges of lips peel so I may have to top it off with a gloss or something.  I find a lot of matte lipsticks are drying on me, so it's not a knock on their formula in particular.  This shade goes great with neutral eyes and possibly smoky eyes.

Do you have a favorite Limnit shade?

Lashes & Lingerie Project with Adore Me!

Good evening, everyone!  I'm excited to share a collaboration I did with NY based lingerie company, Adore Me!  I did a few makeup looks inspired by their newly released lingerie sets.  There are many beautiful sets on their website to choose from, and I ended up choosing the two darker ones, as that's more my personal style.  They recently launched a new Spring line as well, with very colorful and spring-y colored styles.  I was originally going to do one look per set, but the second one was classic enough to inspire two.

I had a lot of fun doing these looks and enjoyed my collaboration with Adore Me!  Please check out their collection of sexy lingerie and you'll definitely find a set that suits you.  The sets I chose were darker and classic because that's more my style, but there are plenty of sets for bright lovers as well.  Also, if you liked any of the makeup, feel free to check out the shops I linked.  Most of them are small independent companies with great products and customer service!

Until next time,

Innocent + Twisted Alchemy May 2015 Subscription Swatches

I'm super excited to share these swatches and review of Innocent + Twisted Alchemy's May 2015 subscription box!  The theme for this month is Alien which is a movie starring Sigourney Weaver about an extraterrestrial infiltrating a spacecraft and killing the crew members (I'm not putting a spoiler alert mainly because it's such an old movie!).  I didn't watch this for the longest time because I'm not fond of watching super old movies because the quality is not that great.  However, while rewatching one of SNL's Lasercats skits, Sigourney Weaver guest starred as her character in Alien, Ripley, and I became interested.  I ended up marathoning the whole series (barring the horrible AvP spin-offs) and really enjoyed the franchise.

As soon as Linda snuck a peek of the theme two months ago, I've been excited for this box.  Alien was a makeup theme I never knew I wanted, but once proposed, I can't imagine being without it.  I don't really use neutrals much, but they are the only color family that make sense with the film, given how the atmosphere is very dark and gloomy.  

Anyway, my box shipped last week, and from previous experiences, it arrives at my house around two to three days later which is extremely fast.  However, this time took much longer and I ended up tracking it.  USPS decided to take my package for a week long joyride without updating at all.  I was really upset because I was so excited for this package and I'm pretty sure the post office knows that.  Anytime something I really want is on its way, they decide to delay it for some reason.  After numerous calls to USPS and them MISDELIVERING it, I received it today.  I immediately opened it up and did some swatches, then realized they would all look great together and slapped them on my eyes too!

I'm really sorry about my long rambles, I just really love this box.  Kudos, Linda!

Look how freaking cool this label art is?!  This box is everything.

Face Hugger

Face Hugger:  shimmery beige with slight green sheen.  This shade, along with all the others in today's box is extremely pigmented and work amazingly over regular primer.

Limnit Lipstick Swatches and Review

I will be swatching and reviewing several Limnit Lipsticks today.  This post has actually been super late, probably the latest I've been, since I made this order during their Black Friday sale :x  It was actually my first order with Limnit even though I've had my eye on them for awhile.  I always held off purchasing because I have way too many lip products already and I have a strong hatred of lip products in jars.  I much prefer lipstick bullets, or anything I can apply straight from the tube - I have long nails, so using my fingers isn't really an option and I don't like using a lip brush.  Anyway, they were having a sale and I figured it'd be a good time to try out some bolder colors.  Apparently I was one of the first 100 orders so I got a free sample, yay!  My order came super quick and I never had to contact the owner with concerns.
