ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip Be-Dazzled

Halloween is literally around the corner and that means crazy kickass purple lipstick!!!

I've been experimenting with ColourPop just because their liquid lipsticks seem to be in the best price range (at least for my budget). I managed to snag 6 of them for around $32 with a promotional code of taking off $5. They are no longer running that promotion but check their instagram periodically and they will post codes for $ off or % off.

Overall quick drying formula that is kiss proof within seconds! However, it does make my lips feel super dry and I tried putting vaseline over them and sometimes it works and sometimes I think it changes the chemistry of the formula and breaks down the wear time.

I have worn the certain shade called Be-Dazzled 3 times now…and the last two times were a huge huge EMBARRASSMENT.

First time it was a super easy application and wore down fine no crusty bits on my lips or on my teeth.

Second time…oh dear 

-I decided to wear this shade for going out on the town for a Halloween Bloc party thinking it would last through all the food and drinks…but let's start with application

-The first time I tried to put it on my lips the formula was super streaky to the point where I couldn't build it up so I had to take it right off and start again

-Second time I tried to put it on my lips, it was still streaky but not as much. But I got it how I wanted it so I figured I would be fine…NO

-Went out had some shots and a mixed drink then a beer with some nachos shared between friends

---at this point my phone was dying so I couldn't check my lipstick and I didn't have a mirror---

-Spent 2.5 hours hanging out and playing arcade games/jenga/drinking before making it to the bathroom

-IT WAS HORRIBLE my lips pretty much made me look like the joker. Faded 99.9% into this horrible purple film with crusty bits everywhere and wow was I embarassed because "bae" had come tonight…

Third time…it somehow gets worse?

-application was again streaky but I decided just to build it up and not take it off (probably a big mistake)

-checked not even an HOUR later and opened my mouth to smile

THERE WERE PURPLE CRUSTY FLAKES/DOTS all on my teeth!

Let's just say I'm not pleased.

Is anyone else experiencing problems with this certain shade???!!

Or did I just get a bad batch!

Halloween 2013

So here is the final look I came up with :) Super cute yet fierce purple witch coming at ya! I had a Halloween party/fundraiser to go to so I figured a little black dress (LBD) was more than fitting for the occasion. I have this wonderful re-sale clothing store by my house in TX, that supports battered women and I like to shop there all the time. Not only am I supporting what they stand for but I am also getting great deals on clothing that is in near perfect condition. The dress that I wore for this event is velvet and has shiny diamond like accessories around the collar (front and back). It was the perfect length that fell right above the knee. It was form fitting and yet I felt comfortable the whole night and didn't worry about being uncomfortable after I ate. My witch hat is something my mom has collected over the years (I currently have 9 witch hats….yeah do you see a trend here). My earrings and rings are from a $1 jewelry store here in Oklahoma.

Ok so here I tried to give you the most fierce head shots I took. I honestly just really love how the makeup turned out and the face glitter looks so perfect and mystical and not at all trashy!! and dang look at those purple lips!! Those lips too soooooo much work but were so worth it in the end!

so this is what the dress looks like. Don't mind the messy room..I was too concerned about making this look like perfection to clean.

And after the night was done, I really didn't want to take any of my make-up off or the glitter. Let's face it, if I could wear make-up like this everyday I would!!!

Hope you guys liked my look, I will make a post on what products I used later :D

Thanks!
