KISS OF DEATH (RED LIPSTICK )

As everyone knows the color red is a classic when it comes to old hollywood
look. I think just about every woman can pull that look off. A few days ago I saw on the net that FDA have been doing some testing on red lipstick from many brands and what they found that most contained lead. Can you believe it lead. So before you out and put on your favorite red lip stick this is what you should know.

In 2007 the campaign for safe cosmetics ran its own test on 33 red lipstick and found 1/3 exceeded the FDA'S limits. Over time ingestion of theses lipstick would be harmful to our body over time. Lead poisoning can cause low IQ, memory loss, mood disorders and even miscarriage

Here are some of the top 10 lipstick that was found with high levels.

1.Maybelline Color Sensational, Pink petal
2.Loreal Colour Riche,Volcanic
3.Nars Semi-Matt,Red Lizard
4.Cover Girl Queen Collection, Red Remix
5. Nars Semi-Matt, Funny Face
6. Loreal Colour Riche, Tickled Pink
7. Loreal Intensely Moisturizinp Lipstick, Heroic
8. Cove Girl Continuous Clor, Warm Brick
9. Maybelline Color Sensational, Mauve Me
10. Stargazer Lipstick, #103

So before you put on your best red lipstick think for a moment. Is it worth it in the end. Knowing how much danger you might be putting yourself threw just to look beautiful for that one special day. The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics says it is impossibles to test everyone of these lipstick on the market there is just too many. The best thing we can do iss support an outright ban on lead.

NAKED 2 URBAN DECAY REVIEW

I know, I know little later better late then never. At first I was going to skip out on this palette. But me being the sucker that I am I couldn't help but get it. I am such aa Urban Decay fan I own almost every single pattle ever since I had gotten into youtube. I just cant help myself but that another story. Anyway being that I had some extra cash in my paypal account from my Eabates rewards I decided to spend it on this palette. As you guys know this is the sequal to the Naked palette but this is more cool tone.



I enjoys a lovely selection of nudes and this palette of course, brings exactly that to the table. This time around Urban Decay packages not only 12 shades of fantastic traditional browns, bronzes, nudes, and naturals but also some outstanding taupes and grieges. Some people have dubbed it a “cooler” version of the original Naked but for me it’s all about warm, rich hues of gorgeous.
The 24/7 Eyeliner that was originally launched with Naked has been replaced as you know with a brush and Naked 2 also includes a brush I find the brush extra helpful. One side has a nice blending brush and the other a flat head which can double up as a liner brush and a regular shadow brush for packing color onto lid.



Further change is on the horizon here with a new snap close tin compact that the shadows and brush come housed in. The original Naked Palette came in a velvet lined box. Pretty yes, practical no  besides after a while the lettering on the package starts to dissappear.This new compact snaps tightly closed and will take a jostle or two in your tote without worries about it flipping open and breaking the contents inside. I love the new packaging but it does take a little jiggle and wiggle to get it open.


I’m sure it’s boiling down to do you really need Naked 2 if you already own the original Naked Palette? I’d like to think so. It’s an outstanding selection of color at a very small price. I don’t think the shades are necessarily dupes to what you might already have in the original palette. These colors are a little less vibrant, a little less rich, and a little less warmer than the original but they still all pack a mighty punch and will create some outstanding looks.


I think the palette is not only a value but a very nice line up of colors. I’d suggest hauling it if you love colors like these or just generally like Urban Decay’s shadow formula. This is also an incredible introduction to the brand so if you’ve never tried anything from their line before this is a perfect place to start.

BUXOM WELCOME TO THE PARTY REVIEW

I bought this a while back when it was on sale at Sephora for only $10 yep that's right  $10 but I was unable to use it because I was already so many  mascaras at the time.









After using it for a few days my thoughts on the mascara. I like is so far it was a little different after first because of the shape of the brush. I'm not use to using such a shape  when i t comes to mascara.




It has an hour glass shape so when it comes down to the outer and inner lashes the best way to reach them was to point the wand down words and pull them up . according to Buxom this mascara intensely volumizes for bigger,fulles lashes. I did some volume but my lashes did not seem fuller. It is very black mascara and also a wet mascara so if you are the type of person who does not want to wait this is not the mascara for you. It does not clump my lashes at all as long as do not use more then three coats. Being that my lashes are very long they end up clumping if I use too much but that happens with all the mascara that I ever use.






As for the eyeliner I like it so far as well it is good when it comes to the lash line it is very black and give a smooth line. If you need to smug it will do so as long as you move fast enough to do it.  But as for the water line it is a no go it does not last long at all. It would last maybe about two hours the most and then It would travel to my lower lash line and then i would start to look like a raccoon . That is not a cute look for me . These products are sold separately you can go to the Sephora web site or go to the Sephora stores and try it out for your self . If you have any question about this product or any other products please write a comment below.
