The pinup red lip with Sephora Cream Lip Stain

Sephora Cream Lip Stain in 01 Always Red Lip Swatch

Good morning beauties!
Those of you who know me in person have seen me go through my rockabilly/pinup phase when I had betty bangs, wore bandanas in my hair and wore red lipstick pretty much every day. Since then I moved on, but I am still a really big fan of a matte bright red lipstick and my obsession has been fueled some more when I got my hands on the Sephora Cream Lip Stain in 01 Always red. 


Sephora Cream Lip Stain in 01 Always Red Lip Swatch
I heard Lily Pebbles, Amelia Liana and Vivianna rave about this and picked it up in Madrid a couple of weeks ago (you can read my haul here). Boy am I impressed!!! The color is a perfect bright cool toned red and the texture is very smooth and it dries to a complete matte finish. It feels very comfortable on the lips and only starts feeling dry after around 4 hours, then I just go over it with a light lip balm and I'm set. The lasting power is really amazing and at the end of the day I really need to put effort with wipes and micellar water to get it off. I tell you, it's a keeper!!! The packaging is the typical transparent lip product tube which allows you to see the color of the stain and has a black wand with Sephora written on it which ends with a soft and very good doe foot applicator.
The Sephora Lip Stain reminds me of an even improved version of the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet liquid lipsticks. I find the application easier with the longer wand and the doe foot applicator seems to collect less product in the Sephora one so when you put it on you don't have excess product on the edge of your lips. 
You can find the lipstick in all Sephora stores and counters or on the website here for 13$. 



Pair this gorgeous red with a winged liner and you're set for a perfect pinup look! :)
Have you tried this stain? Do you have products from the Sephora brand?

Nabla Skin Glazing and Skin Bronzing swatches

Image
 Since their first release last year, the Nabla Cosmetics Skin Glazing formula has been my favorite highlighter and luminous blush formula in my collection. When they released the two new Skin Glazing blushes together with the new Skin Bronzing range in Summer 2020, I couldn’t resist. Check out the video of me trying them out back when they released. The original Nabla Skin Glazing formula is a thin, finely milled luminous powder that feels very firm and hard pressed in the pan. These are not powders with immediate high pigmentation, but rather ultra thin washes of color and light that melt in the skin, giving a lit from within glow. This still holds for the new Skin Bronzing powders. The new shades of Skin Glazing blushes instead are less luminous than the original Truth and Adults Only, and they are more pigmented. I still like the formula very much, but I am not a fan of of the fact that both new shades are pinks. Nabla Skin Glazing Lola The new Nabla Skin Glazing Lola is a pinky co

The Color Analysis Wars Part 1: introduction and ambivalent reds

Image
Welcome to the first of The Color Analysis Wars! In this series in collaboration with Fran from Being Cute is not a Crime , we will explore some principles of Colour Analysis by comparing lipsticks on ourselves. If your are new to the concept of Seasonal Color Analysis, I will add here a piece written by Rachel at Truth is Beauty : Start by understanding that every part of your natural coloring is in harmony with every other part. Your eyes, skin and true hair color all complement each other perfectly, exactly as they are. To look your most beautiful, you don't need to color your hair. You don't need to wear expensive makeup or expensive clothes.   You only need to identify the palette of colors that harmonizes perfectly with the colors that are already in you. The natural palette of your body harmonizes with one of 12 palettes that differ in warmth ,  chroma (brightness),  and value (lightness). We call these different palettes seasons.
