I'm not a die-hard enough fan of "Pulp Fiction" to get the entire set (palette, lip liner, and nail polish), but as a self-proclaimed red lipstick aficionado, I just had to have Mrs. Mia Wallace in Urban Decay's amazing Revolution Lipstick formula ($22).

#28daysoflippies Week Three: Instagram Round-Up Red Week!

Only one more week of my #28daysoflippies Instagram challenge left! Can you believe there is only one week left in February? 
Check out this week's fabulous reds!

I found rocking reds all week long totally increased my confidence!

Red Lippies:

Lipstick Queen Medieval $22: The sheerest of the bunch. A moisturizing sheer red for that flushed look.

NYX Round Lipstick in Snow White $3.99: The deepest of my picks, a little vampy and a nice sheen.

Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish 01 $4.99: A true, blue-based red.

bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Gloss in Game Changer $18: A true red gloss with bold coverage.

NYX Matte Lipstick in Bloody Mary $5.99: A more subdued red, but very, very matte.

Clinique Chubby Stick Intense in Mightiest Maraschino $17: Glossy and easy to wear.

Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in F-Bomb $22: Creamier that the Rimmel offering; true and intense.

I am glad to know at least these picks from my vast collection of reds aren't dupes! What is your favorite red lippie?

Tomorrow starts the week of wildcards! Are you excited??

I Want To Look Like: Narcissa Malfoy

Hey everyone!I honestly couldn't be more excited for this post. It is going to be a long one, and picture heavy, but hopefully really fun! The 'I Want To Look Like' series will be ongoing, and is something I have wanted to do for a long time. I will be getting inspiration from characters in movies/tv shows/actors/ads/etc, and of course...any suggestions you have! Each post will include the original look, and a look modified for daytime wear. I will also include all the products used, and there will be posts on my two other blogs, Miss Molotov and Impressionist Nails to help round out the look.Let's get started!

For my inaugural post, I chose Narcissa Malfoy. Being a huge Harry Potter fan (and nerd in general), she is someone I have always loved. Her style progresses throughout the films (sadly mentioned next to no times in the books), from very classic and stuffy to darker and more natural. These looks aren't a complete copy of her makeup, but are inspired by her.

I also had a ton of fun with photoshop and being a geek with this in general. It was fun trying to get that 'Malfoy' attitude while posing. I don't have half-blonde hair though, but we will have to make do. And Helen McCrory is flawless.Both of my looks started with the same base products:

1: NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk: Used as a base/primer on eyes.

2. Clinique Even Better Foundation in Alabastor: My base of choice right now.

3. Cocoa Star Too Faced Shadow from the Natural at Night Palette: Used to fill in brows. Heavy in the first look and lighter in the secocnd.

4. Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer in Fair: Under eye

5. NYX Liquid Black Liner: A larger wing on the first look, and simpler on the second.

6. Benefit They're Real Mascara

Here is the first look---full on Narcissa glam.

For the full look, I used the products below:

1. bareMinerals loose shadow in Treasured Terri: Foiled and used on whole eye.

2. NYX single eye shadow in Exotic Green: used in crease

3. Mally Ever Color Automatic Eyeliner in Fierce Forest: used on bottom lash line.

4. Essence Renesmee Red blush: No longer available, but any red blush will do.

5. Essence Bella's Secret: for highlight.

6. NYX Retractable Waterproof liner in Red: line lips

7. Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in F-Bomb: Fill in lips with the perfect Narcissa-red.

8. bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie gloss in Game Changer: a dab on the middle of the lower lip.

This look was so fun to do, but now, let's lighten it up for everyday wear!

For the softer version, I used the following products:

1. Clinique All About Shadow Quad in On Safari: used the cream as highlight, olive on the whole lid, and forest green on the crease.

2. Milani Baked Blush in Red Vino: a little on the cheeks gives a strong blush and highlight.

3. Sephora Flashy Liner in Flashy Ultra Green: on lower lash line.

4. NYX Butter Lip Balm in Red Velvet.

I had fun playing with all of my green shadows, and a ton of fun doing this in general!

Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Anarchy: Swatches and Review

Yes, I love Urban Decay Revolution Lipsticks so much, I had to go back for more...this time in the form of a hot pink stunner called Anarchy. 

 Anarchy ($22) was a shade originally on my to-get list, but it was sold out around me. When it came back in stock, I got my greedy hands on it and I have to say, it has lived up to all my hopes and dreams. Besides, how can a lipstick named Anarchy not be cool? 

 

In a sleek gunmetal casing, the Revolution lipsticks are just as pretty to look at in the tube as they are on the lips. With Anarchy, the formula is just like Native and F-Bomb (the other two I reviewed here). Creamy, ultra-pigmented, and comfortable to wear despite the denseness of the formula.

 

 

As far as the shade goes, you really can't get much louder than this bright, blue-toned fuchsia! However, it is surprisingly easy to wear and even easier to tone down if you want.

 

 

Here is Anarchy on my lips, applied straight from the tube, with flash. I find they really pump up the look of your lips, making them seem fuller and smoother.

 

 

And here it is again on my lips in natural light. Both of these lip swatches are straight from the tube, but I find that with these lipsticks, applying with a lip brush, setting with translucent powder, and then applying again makes for all day wear...nearly 7 hours on me with minor eating and a normal amount of water drinking.

 

Overall, Anarchy is a Panda Approved shade!

Urban Decay Revolution Lipsticks in F-Bomb and Native: Swatches and Review

In my recent Urban Decay haul, my favorite score was the two new Urban Decay Revolution Lipsticks ($22) in F-Bomb and Native. 

 These are incredible lipsticks, and they truly deserve all the hype they have been getting! 

 I chose to get two lipsticks from opposite spectrums. Native is a light, opaque baby pink and is more neutral and F-Bomb is a drop everything red. It is seriously jaw-dropping. 

 Here are the swatches under artificial light and they are stunning. The formula of these lipsticks is amazing: creamy, slightly thick, long-lasting, and moisturizing. 

 This is Native, with Native lip liner underneath. Pretty mod pink with slightly warm undertones. 

 F-Bomb may just become my new signature lipstick. This is crazy pigmented in one swipe and wears very well, fading very slowly after about 4 hours and doing so evenly. All in all...you need at least one Revolution Lipstick in your life. Personally, I want all of them...but we will see...haha. Which one do you prefer? Native or F-Bomb? Have a favorite of your own? Do tell!
