Lippie of the Day!!!! MAC Fresh Brew....

Monday, February 18, 2013

Hey everyone!!!

So I'm currently digging instagram and all the beauty and fashion gals I follow. I love daily doses of makeup, fashion and random bits of everyday life. What can I say? I'm a visual person!

Since I do a Jewelry of the Day post on my jewelry blog Dazed+Adorned, I thought it would be fun to do a Lip or Lippie of the day on Rural Glamour. I seriously wear a different lipstick shade everyday. I love the chameleon aspect of changing it up everyday. I hope you enjoy these posts. Let me know what you think!

~Swatches + First Impressions~ Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Moss Mattes Lipstick.....

Thursday, February 14, 2013

 Hey Everyone!!

I spotted the Rimmel Kate Moss Mattes about month ago in one of the my hometown CVS' but it was only the light colors. I didn't even know there other colors until I saw some tweet about a red shade called Kiss of Life. The beauty angels shined down on me once again, and I was a random Walgreens and spotted the whole collection in the Rimmel permanent display. No need to fret, the Kate Mattes are permanent shades not a limited edition collection.

 I was in a hurry so I only got two colors: 110 and 111 Kiss of Life.






110

 111 Kiss of Life. I believe Kiss of Life is the only color with a name. The others are numbers only.

Swatched on my hand....110 and 111 Kiss of Life.


~First Impressions~

I find them to be more of satin finish than a matte. I guess they have to have some sort of moisturizing quality. They are not "one swipe" color. I did about two coats each on my lips to get the pigmentation I wanted. I really love 110. 110 will the color for the summer! 111 Kiss of Life is just ok. I wanted it to give me more but I will try it with a look soon to get my final consensus on it.

~Swatches + First Impressions~ Milani Color Statement Lipsticks....


Hey Everyone!!

I finally spotted the new Milani Color Statement Lipsticks that the blogsphere is going nuts over! I posted a picture on my Instagram of one of the displays in a CVS. Looks like some stores will get more colors than others because my CVS only had 20 shades or so.

This week CVS has Milani at Buy One Get One 1/2 off. This is a once in a blue moom sale Milani does. Real talk. I remember when makeup companies did BOGO Free sales in drugstores but I digress.:)

 I picked up Rose Hip and Naturally Chic

Swatches of Naturally Chic and Rose Hip on my hand.

~First Impressions~

I picked  up Rose Hip, which is color from their last lipstick collection, because of the hype of it being a MAC Candy Yum Yum dupe. I don't own Candy Yum Yum but if  you google Candy Yum Yum Rose Hip, you will find  alot of people disputing the claims that its a dupe. What I did notice with Rose Hip is that it is one coat of pure pigmented pink! Its not as bright as I thought it would be though. There other drugstore bright pinks brighter than Rose Hip.

I put on Naturally Chic this morning and immediately  thought, "I need a backup of this!". It is my perfect nude. I wear no liner with it, its just that perfect. I even put Naturally Chic on twice today and never reapply lipstick after its worn off, that's just a beauty pet peeve of mine. I will be collecting backups of Naturally Chic.

~Swatches and First Impressions~ Kleancolor Femme Lipsticks....

Thursday, February 07, 2013


Hey Everyone!

I have been interested in bold, primary colored lipsticks since I discovered Keyshia Ka'Oir and her Ka'Oir line of lipsticks. I swear, I visited that site once week but could not pick a shade I wanted. Then a RGBL family member posted on Facebook that Kleancolor had their own line of bright lipsticks called Femme.

I ordered my Kleancolor Femme Lipsticks from Amazon (HERE) in two sets of four for $7.99 a set. I've seen posted on Instagram and Twitter that they are also showing up in beauty supply stores but besides Kleancolor polish, the new and updated Kleancolor makeup doesn't make it to my parts very often, so I just ordered it rather than wait.


Here are the 8 shades I ordered...

 This set is called Bold....

 Here are the Bold swatches on my hand....
 This set was called Vivid....Both sets were from the same seller...
 Here are the Vivid swatches....

Now I did swatches on my lips as well....

 #9 Flirty Tango
 #2 Envious Desire
 #8 Tingling Mimosa
 #4 Sky Dive

#6 Cast of Spell
 #7 Magic Lime
 #9 Pink Seeker


#11 After Hours

Wearing #9 Flirty Tango....


~First Impressions~
-They smell very fruity.
-The consistency is more like a pigmented balm than a lipstick. They are very glossy but not a gloss texture.
-The primary colored ones like the blue, green, yellow shades, go on very light. The color has to be built for maximum intensity. I did about two coats for each swatch.
-They are reasonably priced individually. Some people are saying they are finding them for $1.99 at the BSS.
-I LOVE Flirty Tango!!! But I'll admit, I might can pull After Hours( the dark blue) off but wear am I going with Sky Dive ( the light blue) on?!?! LOL! I'm sure these colors could be mixed with other lipstick like OCC lip tars are used.
