NYC EXPERT LAST LIP COLOR - REVIEW

 
Some time ago I bumped into a huge sale at the drugstore, mmm.. love when that happens! I bought some of my favorite everyday products but I also went for a couple of new items. Just for fun, to experiment and to try something new. These Expert Last Lip Colors from NYC are an example of it. 

I've actually never been a big fan of lipsticks, as I usually go for a natural or nude lip. But after seeing many celebs wearing bold lips, I decided to jump on the wagon as well. 

I chose two very different, but both bright and striking shades. 

The first one is number 405, Blue Rose.
 

It has a blue undertone which is always flattering for your teeth since it makes them look more white. 



The next one is number 444, Chocolate Chip.


It's a pretty dark shade, with brown and plum pigments mixed together. 



This is how they look on.
 

I love both of the shades. Blue Rose is ideal for spring and summer, I can already imagine wearing it with a tan and a white top or floral dress. Chocolate Chip I would probably wear at night for a dinner or for drinks. The color kind of reminds me of something Khloe Kardashian would wear, and since I've been loving her looks lately I might get some inspiration from her on how to style it.

If you cross these lipsticks at the store I would certainly recommend picking one up. They cover easily and leave a beautiful pigmented color plus healthy shine on your lips.

I bought these two for €5,00, but normally they're each €2,99.

TWO LIP TRENDS TO TRY OUT DURING FALL/WINTER 2013


PLUM AND VERY DARK LIPS


It's time to take a trip to the dark side, and not just for Halloween! 
Plum and dark lips are the make up trend of the moment. Every stylish beauty in Hollywood is rocking the vampy dark lip. You can't go wrong by wearing plum and dark lip the upcoming months.  The only thing that will happen is you turning heads for looking all romantic and trendy!
If you find this look too much for everyday wear, try it out for night time drinks or dinner with that special someone.

OMBRE LIPS


Ombre hair, ombre shirts, ombre nails,... OMBRE EVERYWHERE. And now there is the ombre lip. The ombre trend has been booming the last couple of years and isn't ready to fade out just yet. And personally I find it to be a good thing, I have to admit the dark-to-light effect can look very hip and cool! 
Ombre lips have been around since the beginning of 2013 and are still on trend for Fall and Winter. It's a very simple way to change up your everyday make up look, but can add tons of spice and sassiness to your look! Choose pink and purple tones for a soft and girly feel, go for red and dark tones for a more intense and sexy night out look. 
Here are some examples that can inspire you to create your own ombre lips!
