Pantone Lips with @YBCosmetics
As the official color of 2012, PANTONE is taking the summer season by storm in every way. From the runway to the red carpet, its hard not to notice the flood of this reddish tangerine shade wherever you turn.
So, take the tangerine tint to your lips with YoungBlood “Tangelo” lipstick! YB Cosmetics is known for its mineral powder foundations, and their lipsticks follow suit with a lanolin-free formula and a special blend of natural oils and vitamins.
Tangelo is the perfect punch of orange and goes great with cool tones like purples, greens, and blues. ( PLUS, it doubles as a under-eye primer 😉 )
Check it out on ybskin.com and order your Tangelo lip color for $19.00

Obsessed with @OCCMakeup Lip Tar
OBSESSED WITH COSMETICS? So are they! Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics is 100% cruelty free, vegan makeup, rich in pigment and quality. I tried their “Lip Tar” Lipstick Gloss and fell in love! Available in about 30 shades, these ultra-saturated lip colors contain an unprecedented amount of pigment, so a little goes a very, very long way! They glide on smooth like lipgloss but dry like lipstick. I have three shades, pink “Queen”, orange “Beta”, and green “Lo-Fi”.
All it takes is a dab of color on a lipstick brush! These colors are great for mixing and blending, to create a personalized pigment perfect for you! I used the greenish Lip Tar as a “creamer”. When mixed with the pink and orange, it pales the color for a nude, creamy look. The best thing about this product is its long-wear formula. The satin finish it creates lasts all day long!
OCC is an international cosmetic brand and can be found all over the world, but if you’re in New York City, you can find their Pro store at 174 LUDLOW STREET, New York, NY. To see more about OCC Makeup and their products, visit their website!

Luscious Lips with @EsteeLauder
I’ve had Estée Lauder’s Pure Color Gloss Stick for a while now. I don’t always use it but when I do, it doesn’t disappoint. I own “Wild Plum” and “Mauve Mirage”, two glossy colors that will give you a creamy look. (Note: it’s a glossy lipstick, & not a lip-gloss so it doesn’t make your lips sticky, which I love!)
It’s sheer & goes on smooth, which also keeps my lips soft. What’s great about this product is the conditioning it gives my lips while adding a bit of color

Wild Plum
Mauve MirageThe price is $22.50, which is pricey. This is one of my favorites though so I will buy this again once I am done with the two that I have. It’s a great product!
Unfortunately the “Mauve Mirage” was only a limited edition but the “Wild Plum” is still available as well as many other shades.
You can buy these products online or where there is an Estée Lauder counter. I like to go to the counters so you can have a better feel of the colors.

Pucker Up with @violentlips
The ultimate form of self-expression, the Violent Lips Collection offers a statement-making line of Lip patterns that range from bold animal prints and fun polka dots, to sexy fishnets and picture-perfect Glitteratti sparkle.
As soon as I got my hands on these fun and funky lip tattoos, I couldn’t wait to try them on! All the rage in Hollywood, you’re sure to get the real star treatment when sporting these cool patterns.
I tried applying the Red Fishnet Pattern on my sister and we were both amazed by the results; these tattoos are AWESOME!
My main concern with the application of the tattoos was the size of the tattoos. They’re huge (to accommodate every lip size) and cutting them to match perfectly to my personal lip shape and size seemed like a complicated task. But, practice makes perfect and once you get the hang of it, they couldn’t be simpler!
One package of Violent Lip tattoos comes with three appliqués, all in the same pattern, so you can easily recreate your favorite look! Check out the YouTube tutorial I included for foolproof instructions.
For a look that’s sure to turn heads, you can find Violent Lip tattoos at a Ricky’s NYC store, Ulta Beauty, or Sephora near you!

Why I Love @LimeCrime
Lime Crime Makeup! It is a “real-life fairy tale” for Doe Deere, a New York makeup artist and fashion blogger originally from Russia. Launched in 2008, Doe Deere wanted to create her own line of makeup because what she wanted did not exist! Lime Crime products are not tested on animals and are PETA-certified cruelty-free. You can shop for makeup for your eyes and lips, two essentials every girl needs!
Do you dare to be different? Cause Lime Crime has many different, bright colors of lipstick.
There is a limited edition, MINT TO BE opaque green lipstick. Why not try MY BEAUTIFUL ROCKET, an orange shade Deere made after her grandmother! Lime Crime’s CENTRIFUCHSIA is great too, a bright fuchsia pink color. One last one I would like to mention is their NO SHE DIDN’T opaque blue lipstick. It is a bubblegum blue color where you can where it alone, OR layer over others to create a new shade!
BRIGHT. COLORFUL. SMOOTH & CREAMY. LONG-WEARING.
For the eyes, TWILIGHT magic dust eye shadow is a soft-lavender purple color. MEDUSA magic dust is an intense shimmer black, great for the smokey eye look! These eye shadows can also be used as eyeliner. Mix & match the lipsticks and the eye shadows to create your own look!
Check out Lime Crime Makeup on Facebook and do not forget to ‘like’ them for secret sales & discounts! And follow Lime Crime on Twitter!
