The OCC Lip Tars come with a lip brush, which is definitely necessary to apply these. I did apply Urban Decay Lip Liner in Ozone to keep it from bleeding. 

I applied this to get the full color intensity. I wore it for about 5 hours and was eating candy and drinking hot chocolate while wearing it and while it did transfer onto my cup, it barely faded.

This is long lasting and comfortable on the lips which is a huge plus. It's easy to apply and didn't seem to travel around my lips which was something I was concerned about.

This is the perfect deep burgundy shade for fall/winter. 

Overall, I love this Lip Tar and I plan to get more.

These retail for $18 but the tube will last forever and they're extremely pigmented.

Do you own any Lip Tars? Which color should I pick up next? I'm dying to get Vain and Technopagan, are there any others I need?

Thanks for reading!

L'oreal True Match foundation is available at the drugstore. It's around $7 for 1 fl oz. and the shade selection is insane! It has the shades broken down into warm, cool or neutral undertones, and each range has a lot of shades. This foundation probably has the best at the drugstore. 

The shade I purchased this time was N5 True Beige. I purchased this shade because while I still have a little bit of a tan, I'm not as dark as I usually am, so none of my foundations were working for me.

Once I start tanning again, I'll purchase a darker shade. When I'm tan, I'm normally N7.

*I do have a neutral undertone, but if you are unsure of yours, the neutral range will work for you*

True Match has a medium/buildable coverage. I find that if you build it up, it can get pretty close to full coverage, and layering it doesn't seem to make it cakey.

This foundation is extremely blendable, just as the bottle says. It blends in SO quickly, especially with my Sigma F80 and Sigma F84. 

This has a pretty matte finish, unlike it's True Match Lumi sister, which I LOVE.

This foundation doesn't oxidize on me like some others will. It also seems to last about 6-8 hours before it begins to fade, if I set it. Keep in mind, I have dry skin, so for someone extremely oily, it may not last as long without touch ups.

The only thing I don't love about this foundation is the packaging. The bottle is cute, it's pretty tough and I like that, but like most drugstore foundations, it has no pump. *True Match Lumi has a pump*

All I need in life is a pump on my foundation.

Overall, I totally recommend L'oreal True Match.

In summary:

+Medium/Buildable Coverage

+Easy to blend

+HUGE shade selection

+Sorted by undertones

+Inexpensive

+Relatively easy to find

+Lasts 6-8 hours

+Doesn't get cakey

+Doesn't oxidize

-Packaging (No pump)

I hope you enjoyed this post! Thanks so much for reading!

Any foundation recommendations? I'm always looking for a new one, high end or drugstore.

As long as it works for dry skin, I'm willing to try it!

The lighting is giving it a blue effect, but there's no blue in it.

I've reviewed more of these, so you already know I love them.

I now have 4 in total, Stand Out, Shameless, Showy and Unapologetic. 

I love them all, and I'll probably buy more of them.

As I've said before, they apply smoothly and evenly, they are very comfortable on the lips. They don't bleed, but they aren't transfer resistant. Rather than being a true matte, they have a very slight sheen to them, almost like a satin mixed with a matte. They have a slight minty scent & they last around 3-4 hours before they need touched up.

These are fairly easy to find now; they can be found at most drugstores, Walmart, Ulta and Target.

They retail for around $8-$12, depending on where you buy them.

If you haven't tried them yet, go pick one up!

Thanks for reading!

Isn't she pretty? Who could say no to that?

Can you tell I'm ready for spring?

:)

Showy is a beautiful blue toned pink shade. It goes on smoothly and easily, just like the other two I have. No settling in lines, no bleeding, no patchy-ness. 

I love this pink so much! How did I make it without a matte hot pink in my life?

I don't own Candy Yum Yum from MAC, but I think the colors look pretty similar, so this (should) fill that void in my life. I make no promises, I'm a hoarder and I have no shame.

Should you buy the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms? Obviously. Do it. You won't regret it. 

Depending on where you buy them, they range from $8-$12 each.

They seems to be pretty simple to find, just pop it open and make sure it hasn't been "sampled" because, ew.

Did you miss the reviews on the last two I picked up?

Standout and Shameless, a beautiful red and a deep purple?

Find it here.

No they don't last a whole long time, 2-3 hours before they need to be touched up/reapplied.

No they aren't transfer resistant/proof. They can and will transfer.

But, they also aren't drying(on me), they don't get patchy, they don't do the weird fade where you only have color left on the outside of your lips.

Just go pick one up and try it for yourself.

At the same time that I picked up the Rimmel Kate Moss 107 Lipstick, I also bought Revlon Black Cherry lipstick after hearing so many bloggers rave about it.

Right at the time that I bought it, I also saw a few posts from bloggers who disliked it.

So, here's what I thought of it.

I caved about a month ago and purchased the Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick #107.

I love the packaging! The red tube with Kate Moss' signature on the side is very pretty.

The lipstick is a deep berry/wine shade, with cool undertones. It's matte and very pigmented; very opaque. 

This is opaque in one swipe. It's also not very drying and it stains your lips very quickly, this is not such a good thing if you aren't very precise while applying as it will stain anywhere you've messed up. Also, I had issues with slippage and bleeding, so I'd say a lip liner is needed.

The lipstick itself is beautiful, but the texture threw me off a bit. It seems a bit thicker than what I'm used to, and as I don't have any other Rimmel lipsticks to compare this to, I don't know if this is normal for them or not.

This lasts around 4 hours until it needs touch ups, and it does the annoying thing where it fades in the middle and leaves the ring, but touching up every 4 hours isn't too bad.
