NYX Round Lipstick Swatches Part 1
These swatches are mainly shades of brown, beige and tan. If you want to see any of these in a FOTD let me know! I'm a little scared of very brownish lippies so this is new territory for me! ;) Enjoy!

Cover Girl Lip Perfection Enchantress, Divine, Hot Passion
Morning chickadees! Today I bring you 3 more swatches from Cover Girl's Lip Perfection line.
Enchantress, Divine, Hot Passion
Enchantress- I didn't realize this shade was a frost and I'm a little disappointed. Pretty color but a little too heavy on the shimmer.
Divine- I love this shade! I've been looking for a color like this forever and this is the first time I've found a shade that stays true to the purple shade it is in the tube.
I know I haven't done a full review on these but I find lipstick kind of hard to review but I do like the formula on these a lot.
You can find these at most drug stores for $7-8.
Would I recommend it? Yes
Like them? Would you wear any of them (I would love to see some ladies wearing Divine!)? Do you think Hot Passion is gorgeous like I do?

Bold and Simple look for Spring/Summer
As the snow falls outside (and apparently the thunder and lightening here in NY) I am wishing more and more for warm weather. Could it just please stop snowing? Did I mention that the heat stopped working in my van? It's like driving around in a freezer.
Anyways, once the spring and summer comes around, more than ever I like to break out the bright colors. And what better way to wear them but paired with a bright and simple eye liner? After all, who wants to spend a beautiful day putting on makeup!
These are fun, colorful looks that will take you almost no time at all and with a handful of colors you can create a ton of combinations. Get creative! With the right match it can make both colors pop. And when the weather gets hot and your afraid of a makeup melt down, waterproof eyeliner, mascara and lipstick and you're good to go :)
Here are two variations with a punch of bright liner and lipstick. Simple but bold.
NYC liquid eyeliner in Cobalt Blue (I believe this is LE) paired with MAC M'orange lipstick:
If you find these are too bright for your taste, try it with softer colors (or try blotting and see what you come up with, it can make a super crazy color much more wearable). Here is Wet n Wild 862 paired with MAC Snob:

Cover Girl Lip Perfection- MAC Toxic Tale's subdued cousin
I have two swatches for ya from the new Lip Perfection formula from Cover Girl. These are really soft and creamy, I recommend using a lip liner because as you can see in the swatches they are easy to mush around and bleed a little. I do prefer a little less slippery formula but this does feel very moisturizing- almost like a balm. Here are the two colors I've tried:
When swatched on my hand they were closer than I expected. Fairytale is a little more sheer, a shade lighter and a shade pinker.

Compared on the lips...
So, if Toxic Tale was a little too strong for your tastes I highly recommend picking up Fairytale.
The one thing I'm really hating about these lipsticks? There is no damn product name anywhere on the tube. No, the color name IS on the bottom but what the line is? No where to be found. This bugs me to no end.
I found these at CVS, I've also seen them at Walmart and you can find them at Walgreens for around the same price, $7.49.

L'Oreal Colour Riche Star Secrets lip swatches
I know these have been out for awhile but I never got around to picking them up. Here are 4 colors from L'Oreal's Star Secret Colour Riche collection. I am quite happy with all of these except perhaps Penelope's Red (which isn't even on the site anymore...) which had a more glossy feel leading to being a little slippery and also not wanting to stick to the inside of my bottom lip. I'm really enjoying the others though, especially Aishwarya's Beige.

MAC Venomous Villians Toxic Tale + Violetta swatches


Evil Queen on the lipstick case.
For fun I did a comparison of Toxic Tale with a couple other MAC shades:


Vegas Volt leans more orange, Toxic Tale more Red and Impassioned more pink.

There were several other tempting lipsticks but I decided to purchase a couple other things instead.
Did you pick up anything from this collection?
What would you pair these colors with?
