SEPHORA COLLECTION: Cream lip stain- Always Red 01 Review + HOW TO WEAR IT THE SEXY CLASSY WAY


We all know red lips are sexy, but we also know they could be SEXY CLASSY or SEXY TRASHY! 

HERE ARE SOME TIPS ON HOW TO KEEP IT LADY LIKE:

Well, everyone should own a red lipstick, lip stain or lip liner. Period!



Tip #1: Use a lip liner before applying a lip stain. This will give you a better direction of where to apply your lip stain and avoid smudging the edge of your lips. 


The thing with most lip stains, is that when putting it on you have to be very careful not to mess up because its so permanent, wiping a little mistake will give you a smudged look around your lips. You don't want that! So take your time when putting it on.

Tip#2: Use mascara and blush when putting this lipstain on. Otherwise your lips will look ridiculous if you have a clean face with red lips.

And that's not just with this lipstain it's with all lipsticks. When you wear a bright color on your lips with nothing on your eyes or cheeks all the attention goes to your lips and not in a good way! It makes your lips look HUGE! Wear a little blush at least!! or if you are a bronzer type of girl bronzer works perfectly fine.

Tip#3: DO NOT skip mascara application.

Also, keep your eye shadow soft and neutral. Don't  wear a heavy bright shadow like purple or green because it will make you look well... Not so cute! Gold, cream and soft pink are your safest choices for shadow. Just keep it neutral!

Tip#5: Eye liner gives it that sexy touch you were looking for.

Eye liner is not necessary for this look but it gives it a nice touch! Especially if you are going out to party you want that extra umph!


Just keep it simple and classy when wearing a red lip color!

REVIEW ON SEPHORA COLLECTION LIP STAIN- ALWAYS RED

*The intensity of the color is just amazing. This red is just perfect for all skin tones. I see this color on all the girls who work at sephora and it goes great with light, medium and dark skin tones. That is just a plus plus!!! This is a REAL RED COLOR! some red lip stains or lipsticks have that orange look which makes you look older and weird. This red is so intense and matte it fits anyone any age.

*The only thing I wasn't so happy about is that it gives me a dry feeling on my mouth like I can feel the lip stain on my lips all the time. But a little lip balm afterwards will help and it will keep the look matte.

*Other than that, the color stays beautifully on your lips, it won't get on your teeth, it changes your whole face with just this color.

*The price point is just perfect. $12 compared to other lipsticks and lipstains sold at sephora this is by far the best one.

And you only need a little bit!

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Concealer


I only give reviews after using the product until it's finished or have purchased it a few times. For this product I used the whole thing and loved every single application. WOW!

 You know that Kim kardashian look everybody talks about ? Well for that look you need: concealer, highlighter, light powder etc. I mean do you really have time for that in the morning?

BUT with the Age Rewind concealer you can skip all those steps at once with a more natural finish!!!
Apply a small amount under your eyes. Pad and then smooth out from inner to outer side of your under eyes in a triangle shape. Best way to use is after your foundation so you can see the areas that need to be highlighted. 

ADVANTAGES:
*Hides dark circles perfectly with only one application.
*You only need a small amount at once.
*Brightens the eye area instantly
*Super smooth, no creasing, helps fine lines under eyes
*Feels like foundation, yet it stays like a regular concealer
*Stays on for 4-6 hrs I would say. So I do carry it with me for an extra dose.
*It has last me 5 months (I use it very day)
Matches your skin tone amazingly-winter and summer! Just get the right shade which is only 4 shades to choose from.
*Great prize !

DISADVANTAGES:

* I didn't see any improvement on dark circles.
*Not so crazy about the sponge, don't see it that hygienic
*My shade is the darkest shade they have which doesn't allow people with darker skin tones to try it
*Hum no more disadvantages

I've worked at Macy's for many years and I've never been pleased with a concealer as much as this.


The next best concealer was Cargo but was discontinued in Sephora and Macy's and it was $20. 


Here's the link to purchase. Otherwise buy at your local pharmacy.
