Spring color

Hello! I wanted to write about a little gem I found! Now I know I'm supposed to be the thrifty makeup artist but let's be honest, sometimes there are some really great products out there that aren't cheap. With that, my job is to help you not waste your money buying an expensive product that sucks ( sorry for the choice of words, but that sounded more effective ) well here is one product that I tried and love that's not really cheap but I think it's worth it!
A few days ago at work, Valentine's day to be exact, I checked out the new spring collection in Nars. The colors are absolutely beautiful!!! Here is the Nars 2012 spring collection campaign.



Pretty stunning huh? So here's a first look on Nars' take on their predictions for the spring beauty look. Since it was Valentine's day I thought I would try out this beautiful velvet liner called Mexican rose. The nice thing about these lip liners are they are in the velvet line which means they are a very thick pencil and they are super creamy. The velvet liners come in mattes and glosses and I love them! Since they are a larger pencil and they are so soft and creamy, you can apply this pencil all over the lips so it doubles as a lip liner and a lip color!
Here is this little beauty



I first put it on at 2 here is the first picture of me just applying it








I look a little silly here, kinda like a cartoon but you know...what can you do?

Here is 5 hours later




And this is at 10 at night...I'm looking a little rough, just pay attention to the lips ;-)







I'm telling you- this stuff does not come off!!!! I woke up this morning and it was still around my lips and I washed my face and all that last night! This stuff stays on so if you want something that stays and has major color this is the one!! They are 24$ and range in all different colors!



There's a lot more than that but they are amazing and definitely worth the money!
