Wearing FOF with Fashion Boost liner today. I love this combo! Blush is Ultra Rose which a sweet specktrette recently helped me get.

Honey, you rock this combo! So far I have only these two items from this collection. I'm not sold yet though. On me it does not look as blue (and I'm not really a bright pink girl).

Today I wore Steady Going all day.

Damn, I really love it. I can't wear this type of pink usually, but on me, it's like a cuter, pinker version of Mehr. It's lighter than Mehr, but because it's so matte, it reads about as bright as Mehr, which is why I think it works as well as it does. Definitely had to keep the eyes cool toned - Gilty Morsel is way too warm to go with it. I wound up using Midnight Snack fl with a little Hold That Pose MES. Frost At Midnight MES, Black Grape PP, Bloodline pigment, Deep Cravings, Rainy Day or All Woman quads will all work really well with it with my coloring, but it needs good brows and good retro eye liner at the least (and great hair).

I didn't line it, but later in the day, I decided to pull out Shock Value and contour the lips, using the liner on top of the lipstick. That was pretty damn sexy, if awfully 90's retro. My lip shape didn't benefit from using it to contour the cupid's bow (although that would look good in photos for sure), but it looked awesome using it to enhance the fullness under the lower lip and applied in the corners of the upper and lower lips to accentuate and add depth. After, I put on a little extra lipstick to bring it all together, but only very very lightly blended it into the pencil. I am definitely going to do this look again, but I'd have to skip the winged liner with it and do more of a soft, smudged liner or just a really soft eye contour with shadow and mascara but no liner. If I knew I was going to be in photos, it'd be a perfect combo.
Liba, I was so proud of myself for skipping RR and SG, but you are making this really, really hard.

and all you ladies are rocking these colors, its really difficult to pick a favorite.

New combo I'm loving: Dynamo liner + Impassioned lipstick! Finally I can actually wear Impassioned out; every time before this that I've put it on, no matter what I mix with it, I take it off. It just wouldn't pop on me. UNTIL NOW. This combo is life changing. Dynamo is really an amazing color, I just decided I'm backing it up eventually lol. If it was LE I would hoard it to no end. Oh, and this was taken on my MacBook's crappy built in camera so sorry for the crappy quality. Also, if my face is awkward that's because I took this in the middle of a lecture in a full classroom hahahah, I think I got away with it though

nice! lol I love this lipliner! I cant imagine what I used to wear impassioned with...maybe that's why I didn't wear it much! nor party parrot, but yes. I agree this liner makes all the difference to me when it comesto these colors. I think it will look great with RR from this collection which I think mac4megan is wearing a few posts ago...LOOKS FAB with your scrubs lol

I agree! Definitely gonna try it with PaPa, which now that I think about it I don't believe I've worn it in months. It needs a little love before the cold weather comes :p I also wonder how it would pair with Force of Love! It performs amazingly too. I put it on around 2pm and it survived my 3 hour class as well as dinner afterward.
Very pretty!!
Thanks love :)

Hi ladies. I just found an excellent dupe for Fixed On Drama. So if you can't get your mittens on FOD here's an alternative.

It's part of the LE L'Oreal Le Matte lippies called Matte-R-O-Fact. It's also a matte textured lip product in a pen form. Actually, I like the L'Oreal version better. It's easier to apply and last 4-6 hours on me. However, they're difficult to locate.
