Ace of the Face: Lips

A bold red? Or a light nude? Or maybe a fushcia?

Whatever it is, this "guide" is going to help you find your perfect lip color shades...that are only AFFORDABLE, DRUGSTORE products.

This little "series" of the Ace of the Face, is inspired by Allure's Best of Beauty List. Except, this is all drugstore products...that won't break the bank!

LIPSTICK: RED

Loreal Color Riche Lipstick

The classic red, that's true, beautiful and ... gorgeous actually. Red lipstick is great for some time to be bold, or it can be your classic everyday lipstick too!

LIPSTICK: PINK

Cover Girl Lip Perfection Lip Color in Delight

This is an absolutely gorgeous color! It's a beautiful, rosy kind of pink, and it's the perfect compliment of color...not too bold, not too boring...just right.

LIPSTICK: NUDE

NYX lipstick in Summer Love

A great lipstick...in a bargain price. This is your perfect deal for beautiful, nude lips. The color is true, and it applies like a department store price.

P.S. (a little tip) try using a nude LIPLINER to first give your lips a little definition, then for color add the lipstick.

LIPSTICK: NUDE (for darker skin tones)

Cover Girl Queen Lip Color in Bronze Goddess

This color is bee-tea-ful on darker skin tones! It doesn't look tacky, and it adds a modern, feminine touch to your lips. (This is also the one that Allure has chosen(: )

LIPSTICK: DARK

Loreal Color Riche Divine Wine

The color riche series is amazing for rich, beautiful, bold colors. This lipcolor has it all...the color is the REAL color, it's moisturizing, and the perfect shade of the dark wine.

LIPSTICK: SHEER

Boots. No 7 Sheer Temptation Lipstick (attract is shown above)

I lovee this lipstick! If your looking for a natural, sheer lipstick ,but with moderate color this is it. It hydrates your lips, it's much like a tinted lip balm, except it has more color pigmentation.

LIPGLOSS

Jordana Pretty Shine Luxury Lip Gloss

This is my mom's and mine favorite lip gloss. We have used other department lip glosses and this, and we don't quite see the difference. This is your perfect, cheap, RICH color, gorgeous applications, ...it's perfect!

LIP STAIN

Cover Girl Outlast Lip Stain

Beautifulll lipstain! This is perfect for the ones who want some color to their lips in their busy lifestyles. The color lasts for a good amount of time, and there is such a HUGEEE selection of colors..so you can find your perfect one.

LIP BALM

Soft Lips Lip Balm

Smells great, great hydration, and leaves your lips soft and pretty(:

TINTED LIP BALM

Burt Bees Tinted Lip Balm

Such a gorgeous compliment! The colors are beautiful, and they had only a splash of color. So for the ones that don't want such a bold look, this one is for you.

And that's all! I hope this maybe helped you guys find your perfect fit for your lip colors.

NYC Smooth Skin Liquid Makeup Review

New York Color Smooth Skin Liquid Makeup

What?

the NYC Smooth Skin Liquid Makeup (foundation)

Recommended?

Yes! This is shockingly good. When I first brought, I needed a cheap foundation to have to cover up some blemishes and a cut on my face I had from waxing my upper lip.

When I brought this, I believe it was only about $3 so I thought that it wouldn't work! But WOOO! It has amazing coverage, and gives flawless skin!

Pros?

-Beautiful coverage and good coverage (about MEDIUM coverage)

-Cheap, bargain for the quality

-Flawless coverage but with lightweight feel

Cons?

If you need FULL coverage, then I don't think this is for you; this is more of a medium coverage.

Where can I get it?

Walmart, maybe drugstores. I got it for about $3

What Shades?

There are 6 shades total.

IVORY
(676)

NUDE
(677)

BARELY BEIGE
(678)

SOFT BEIGE
(679)

CLASSIC BEIGE
(680)

DEEP BIEGE

I hope this helps you guys! have a beautiful day!

Summer? Workout Time!

Summer's here, and having a brand new gorgeous body isn't EVER out of season. So why not hit the gym?

Okay, so all winter/spring, you know how we do...We're so lazy, cuddling on the couch, and drinking a cup of hot cocoa. But now that summer is here, the tanks, and shorty shorts come out...we all want a toned sexy body.

So what's your plan?

To get stronger?

To get lean?

To lose weight?

To be more flexibe?

More relaxed/stess less?

Well, mine (and most people) is LOSE WEIGHT. AHHH!

During the holidays, when we eat sooo much, I gained about 10 pounds. Yikes! I know:/

And ever since then, I haven't had a chance to lose it. At school, there was test, homework, and I couldn't even have time to hit the gym. So, my goal, is over the span of about 2 months (summerrrr) , I want to lose 10 pounds.

Losing 10 pounds would bring me to an about 115 lbs. But the funny thing, is that I guess my body won't let me lose more than about 113. But that's okay!

Last summer, about the time I started the blog, I actually did a lot of things with fitness and food, and I want to get back to that.

So here is my workout plan (that last summer, lost me about 10-15 lbs.) ..and hopefully, it'll make me lose some pounds too!:

-TREADMILL. Run run run! This was basically my "secret" to having a toned bod. (I miss my health conscious freak ! haha) . If you can't run 2 miles straight, then I suggest working yourself there. Yesterday, I only ran 1 mile, and today I plan to run 5 laps or 1.25 miles.

-PILATES. I want to try some ab moves or things, because I really want to work on my abs this summer. I've tried Pilates, and it truly feels amazing! So maybe I'll just check out some videos online, or hit my community center. If Pilates is a bit too fast paced for you, then yoga is an amazing alternative!

-Maybe AB BOOTCAMP here and there? Last summer I did the Billy Banks Ab Bootcamp everyday, and I think that was what contributed to my weight loss. So, I really want to try that up again...It's fun too!

-THA PARK. Oh my! I want to go to the park MORE with all my friends this summer, go and there, play some soccer, tennis, go swimming all that jazz! And plus, when you talk to friends, or have fun with friends, you don't even realize your working out!

-WATER. Atleast 8 glasses of water EVERYDAY. You'll have amazinggg skin, and especially during the summer, it's so important to stay hydrated.

My birthday is coming up in July, and we are all having a little "reunion" in July, so I want to be fit as possible in time for that! I want you guys to join along!

I hope this helps you guys much! (:
