Because Thrive Empower Matte Precision Lip Crayon turned out to be such a good everyday lipstick, I decided to buy another shade that I thought would suit me better than the free, Kaisa, described as Dusty Pink (on me, a very light pink) that Thrive gifted me when I made a purchase about a month …
Lipstick truly is the makeup item that always makes me feel better. Though I am occasionally disappointed, I still like trying out new lipsticks and new lipstick brands. HIGHR’S MISSION & WAY OF OPERATING As usual, I was attracted by an ad I saw on Facebook for a clean beauty brand of lipstick, made in …
Although Ipsy Plus has been more hit or miss than in past years, one of the things I still really enjoy about it is the add-on products at discounted prices. Last month, I think Ipsy had another shopping opportunity that they didn’t promote or explain very well, but the email they sent to either tell …
Several Ipsy Plus bags ago, I received a highlighter duo compact from Girlactik. It was very pretty, nicely pigmented, and all around terrific. I had never heard of that brand before, but the compact certainly put it on my radar. Shortly after that, ads from Girlactik started showing up in my Facebook feed. Ads for …
I’ve been on a very low buy since the the end of 2019 when I bought too much during the holiday sales. But I did end up making a couple of purchases during Ulta’s recent 21 Days of Beauty half off sale. One of the items was BECCA Ultimate Lipstick Love. The absolute best part …
Today, I went for a 5 mile walk in the woods with two of my friends. It was a brilliantly sunny day. Even thought it was not quite 50 degrees, the sun felt strong and warm. We had a wonderful, long walk. My iheart phone app said I walked 14,596 steps. Yes! Since I decided …
I bought mostly staple items during the Ulta sale for Platinum members, but I felt like I deserved at least one fun makeup item. So after seeing some posts from the newish Urban Decay Naked Cherry collection, I decided to splurge on one of the lipsticks from the collection. “Devilish” is a cherry pink shade. …
When I bought something from Sephora.com during the recent VIB sale, I chose three samples and the last one I picked was from GrandeLips, their HydraPlump Liquid Lipstick. If you read my blog, you know that I am not a fan of liquid lipstick. The vast majority of the ones I tried, and I have …
Facebook must really love me ‘coz I’m a sucker for the ads they place in my feed. A couple of weeks ago, I saw an ad from Cargo Cosmetics, a brand I don’t buy very often for no particular reason. They were advertising a newish lipstick, Cargo HD Picture Perfect Lip Contour. What really caught …
I have a couple of lipstick lines that I just love (Tarte Lip Sculptor – review – and Too Faced La Creme – review), and now I can add Jesse’s Girl Lipstick 18 to that exclusive club. About 6 weeks ago, I was sent the entire range of Jesse’s Girl Lipstick 18 that consists of …
Today is International Kissing Day, so it’s a good time to talk about lipstick! I own probably close to 100 lipsticks, but I have a clear favorite. Although I am not a big fan of mattes, I have fallen in love with a hybrid, a satin matte. My favorite lipstick is Tarte The Lip Sculptor. …
First things first. I want to announce the winner of the Luscious Lips by Cynthia Rowland Lip Pump winner, but I’m a little embarrassed because the winner has a beautiful and distinctive name but I’m not sure which is her first name and which is her last name. My bad. The winner is Paol T. …
Back in October, I posted a sneak peek of NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Vault that launched exclusively at Ulta Beauty in late October. I’ve been wearing the shades since then, and if you’re looking for a gift with the Wow Factor, you definitely should consider this amazing lippie vault! This vault is so much …
I am a bargain hunter. It’s rare when I buy something at full price or over a certain amount. But occasionally, something comes along that I cannot resist. Such was the case with TATCHA’s Limited Edition 23K Gold Illuminated Sunrise Lipstick that was introduced earlier this year and sold out within weeks. TATCHA, known for …
I wanted to keep my Sephora VIB status for next year so I did more shopping than I should have. Today I just have time for a quick post, so I’ll show you some pretty lipstick shades I bought, and I’ll write about the rest of the haul another time. I bought two lipsticks: Urban …
