Hey everyone!

Valentine's Day is just around the corner! And, whether you're single (like me) or have a date, you can look fabulous with these few beauty items!

Biore Deep Cleansing Nose Strips - These nose strips are a must before any big event, because they help to remove blackheads from your nose! And, I know I don't have to tell you that blackheads are not pretty anytime!

Pacificia Coconut Kiss Lip Butters -  It is always important to prep your lips before Valentine's Day, and these lip butters add a hint of color to your lips!

Burt's Bees Lip Shimmers - If you like your lips to be moisturized, but don't like the heavy feel of gloss or lipstick, then these Lip Shimmers are your best friend! They come in a wide variety of colors, and add just a touch of color and shimmer to your lips!

Shu Uemura Matte Lipstick - Matte lips make you look very sophisticated, and Shu Uemura's matte lipstick is one of the best! This lipstick will last you through most of the night, so no worries with touchups!
 

Shu Uemura Unlimited Lip Gloss - Glossy lips are always sexy when it comes to Valentine's Day, and Shu Uemura's glosses give yours lips that kissable pout without the stickiness.

Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Glosses - If you love your lips to have that plumped effect, then Soap & Glory's Sexy Mother Puckers Glosses are for you!

Lady Gaga Fame Perfume - No evening would be complete without a fragrance. And, my personal favorite for this Valentine's Day is Lady Gaga's Fame fragrance! It is soft and romantic, making it perfect for a night out or in!

shu uemura Gloss Unlimited Review

Hey everyone!

I'm all about the perfect lip gloss. It has to be one I can throw in my bag, apply on the go, and not worry about it being too sticky. Recently, I was sent a couple samples of the shu uemura Gloss Unlimited in the shades PK 20 C and ND 10 S. 

These have super chic packaging, and a uniquely, oval shaped applicator. I find that the applicator is perfect for giving me an even sweep of gloss over my lips, and allows me to wear it sheered out or build it for more coverage.

From Top to Bottom:
~PK 20 C
~ND 10 S

One thing that many of you will enjoy is that these glosses have no scent to them, which is perfect for those of us who are sensitive. The formulation of this gloss is very smooth and non-sticky. This means it does have to be reapplied after a few hours, but when your gloss looks this cute, it's all good!

From Top to Bottom:
~ND 10 S
~PK 20 C

As you can see from the swatches above, each gloss is build-able for a more opaque coverage. I personally love to wear these over a bold lipstick to help sheer it out some. 

Each gloss retails for $25.00, and can be purchased at shuuemura-usa.com!

What do you think of these shades?

shu uemura Rouge Unlimited Supreme Matte Lipstick Review

Hey everyone!

With Valentine's Day and job interviews right around the corner for me, I have been searching for that perfect matte lipstick that will last several hours without drying out my lips. And I believe I have found it!

Recently, I was sent a sample of shu uemura's Unlimited Supreme Matte Lipstick in the shade M PK 355! This lipstick is a vibrant, yet wearable, hot pink color. I think it will be perfect to wear in an office environment for a statement lip, or even better to wear for your Valentine's Day date!

The packaging of this lipstick is extremely sturdy, and I know I can toss it in my makeup bag, for a night out on the town, and not worry about the cap coming off.

The formula of this lipstick is very creamy, so it glides on your lips with ease. The matte finish of the lipstick means that it will wear for several hours before any touch ups are needed. I found that I still had this one my lips well after 4 hours! One perk to this lipstick that I have found is that it does not cling to any dry patches on your lips. This means that even if you have chapped lips, you can still rock this lipstick! 

Beauty Tips:

~Dab this lipstick lightly on your lips to achieve a more natural look!

~To tone down the boldness of the lipstick, sweep a pale pink or nude gloss over top!

This product retails for $30.00, and can be purchased at shuuemura-usa.com!

What do you think of this lipstick? Will you be giving it a try this Valentine's Day?

XoXo,
Whitney
