Butter London Bloody Brilliant Lip Crayon

I’m in love with Butter London’s Bloody Brilliant Lip Crayons.  They have changed my mind on my feelings on Lip Crayons.  I usually am not a fan of lip crayon’s so I never have good expectations from them.

Jay Manuel Beauty: Eyeshadow Quad and The Ultimate Pencil

I tried a few products from celebrity makeup artist Jay Manuel’s Beauty collection.  Jay Manuel has a beauty app (you can get it in the App Store, it’s free)  that helps you matches colors for you using a photo.  In the app you can either take a selfie or use a photo already in your album.  I chose taking a selfie with no makeup on.  Don’t take your selfie in direct sunlight, or else it will wash you out.  Try to take a photo in a brightly lit room to get the best matches for makeup.  I tried a few times and finally got a great natural lighting photo.  I will start with the Narcotic Eyeshadow Quad, it is a great combination of colors.  I loved all four of them so much.  They are the perfect combination for a beautiful smokey eye.  You can layer the colors to make them…
