Fire Inspired Lips

Hey there!

Lately I've really been into fire and flames. Don't know why, but I really love how strong and powerful fire looks.

I decided to play around with my makeup and came up with a gradient lip look inspired by fire.

I used my red Hello Kitty lipstick reviewed here, an orange lipstick from MAC in Ardor and a beautiful gold pigment.

I combined the gold pigment with vaseline to achieve to really gorgeous gold paste.

Mmmmm... Shiny...

And here's how I achieved the gradient lip look!

And you're done! Easy-peasy! =D

Also, for this look, I used normal painting brushes I bought from Spotlight and it worked just fine.

Here's how everything looked after finishing up.

I hope you liked the look!

Thanks for reading!!

Cheers!!

Hello Kitty Red Lipstick

Hey dolls!

I have been wanting a matte vampy red lipstick for the longest time ever and I finally bought one!

When I first saw this red Hello Kitty lipstick, I just knew I had to buy it!

It was compact in size, a beautiful red and had Hello Kitty embossed on the cap!

The beautiful packaging gave me high hopes for this lipstick, but alas...

*falls dramatically to the floor*

...the lipstick left me very very disappointed.

✽ Overall ✽

Overview: ♥ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

Very very cute packaging, but lipstick formula is sheer and doesn't glide on smoothly at all which requires a very generous amount of swiping to achieve the pigment level above.

Extremely disappointed with this lipstick.

Colour: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♡ ♡

A gorgeous vampy red when swatched and I love that it doesn't contain any micro shimmers!

Application: ♥ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

The lipstick was sheer and streaky which made it very hard to work with. I had to swipe the lipstick on my lips a huge number of times to get the colour intensity I wanted and had to use a lip brush to even out the colour.

Also, the colour appears orange-ish in my lips, as seen above.

Packaging: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

The packaging's teeny tiny (about 5.5cm) and I love it! The bullet fits snugly in the case and cause of it's compact size, it's pretty obvious that it doesn't have a ridiculous amount of 'wasted space' like many other lipsticks in the market.

And let's not forget the cute Hello Kitty bling on the cap!
