Hey guys! For those of you who don't know every Wednesday since February I have uploaded a video series in collaboration with my friend 25 Sweetpeas. I love this series and we both thought that I should start blogging about the makeup looks I do and like normal 25 Sweetpeas will be blogging about her nail look.

This weeks look is inspired by Melanie Pace who is best known as a Fashion Stylist. 25 Sweetpeas actually saw this look and sent it to me and we both knew we had to do a look inspired by it.... if you want to see the look we were inspired by check it out here: https://www.instagram.com/p/zDF-Piv1IU/?taken-by=melaniepace21

I really wanted to keep this look light and fun for summer and add in some pops of color. I used Manny MUA X Makeup Geek Palette, Colourpop's Dare eyeshadow, and Colourpop's lippie stix in Toucan.

I really wanted to keep the top eyelid neutral and add a pop of color with the Dare eyeshadow. I highly recommend Colourpop eyeshadows if you want to add some fun and colorful shadows to your look for summer! Also I wanted the lips to stand out so I had to do something pink and bright. I chose toucan because it is the perfect bright pink coral shade.

I hope you all enjoyed this weeks look and don't forget to head over to 25 Sweetpeas blog to see how she achieved these nails: http://www.25sweetpeas.com/2016/04/eyes-2-nails-fashion-blogger-inspired.html

Review on Ultra Satin Lips by Colourpop

Hey guys! Welcome to my brand new blog! I thought for my first post I would talk about a new product from Colourpop Cosmetics. On February 25th Colourpop launched 16 Ultra Satin Lips. I love the Ultra Matte Lips so I was really excited to try these and let me tell you they did not let me down. I purchased Magic Wand, The Rabbit, and Marshmallow. One thing to remember is these are not the ultra matte liquid lipsticks, they will transfer, they should not be drying like a traditional liquid lipstick, but they should last longer than a regular lipstick.

Ultra Satin Lip in the shade Magic Wand

Magic Wand is my least favorite out of the three. Nothing is wrong with the formula or how it wears, it's just how the color looks on me. I have very fair skin so this just is not the nude for me. I am still going to play around with it and see if different lip liners will help.

Ultra Satin Lip in the shade Marshmallow 

Marshmallow was the shade that I was the most excited to try. It is so different and unlike anything I have in my lippie collection. This color is described on the website as a greyed out lavender and is soon gorgeous. It doesn't make my teeth look yellow which was one of the concerns I had with this color. I would also recommend purchasing the Marshmallow Pencil because finding a lipliner to match may be a little hard.

Ultra Satin Lip in the shade The Rabbit 

The Rabbit is my absolute favorite out of all three shades. It is a really pretty fuchsia with a blue sheen which makes your teeth look white. One thing about this shade is that when you go to take it off it does stain your lips a little. It's not awful but that is one thing to keep in mind. This is the perfect color for spring and summer and I can already tell I will be wearing this a lot.

The packaging the lippies come in.

Ok, so my final thoughts on the Ultra Satin Lips are that I am very happy with the formula, the wear, the range of colors, and the price. I mean $6 for a lipstick is a pretty good deal and lets you experiment with different colors rather than spending $20 on one lipstick at Sephora. Also Colourpop is pretty fast with shipping and I have never had any problems with them. 

If you have any suggestions for my next blog post either leave a comment or tweet me. I would love to hear from you! I am going to try and post every Monday. I will see you guys next week and don't forget to check out my twitter, instagram, youtube, and add me on snapchat @kmadison123. 

See you next week!
