Beauty Bag: “Viva Glam Nicki 2″ + Dupe

Spring is approaching, and a pale lavender lip is in! (And beautiful on every skin tone.)

Nicki Minaj recently released her 2nd lipstick “Viva Glam Nicki 2” as part of the Viva Glam Collection. What I love about the Viva Glam Collection is that all proceeds go towards helping women, children, and men living with HIV/AIDS. Lipstick with a cause!

This color comes in both a lipstick and a lipglass. I’ve been wearing either with a purple or burgundy lip liner.

Where Are All the MUAs?!

MUAs, I need your help! Thanks to Instagram I now have this new found desire to step up my makeup game. Some of you young ladies are SUPER talented and I’ve taken to YouTube and started stalking quite a few of you. (Yea, I said it. lol).

I recently took a trip to my local Walgreen’s and stocked up on a few new lip colors. I’ve been really wanting to see myself in a deep purple (almost black) lipstick. They didn’t have the exact color I had in mind, but Revlon did have this “Black Cherry” shade that I thought was worth a try. And I have to say, I really like it! Which is saying a lot, because I generally hate the way I look in lipstick. Next up…the perfect shade of Barbie pink???

What do you guys think? Any suggestions on other colors I should try?

Also, if you have any other favorite makeup products (foundations, mascaras, concealers, contours, etc.), drop that info in the comment section. Please and thank you!
