Nars Dolce Vita Lipstick Review 

Hello Lovlies. I'm Jordan Nicole :) I have never had a very large lip collection. I didn't like the texture of lipstick on my lips for years. So when I recently got into lip products I was very surprised by myself. I had this lipstick on my wishlist for 2015 and have been coveting it for quite some time now. A few week ago while I was makeup browsing with my best friend Amanda she convinced me that I should finally purchase it. Nars lipsticks are not inexpensive so it felt like quite the splurge to buy it for myself. This is something I have really been wanting though, and I knew it was going to get so much love as an addition to my makeup bag.

I have talked about my love for nude lipsticks a number of times in posts so I suppose it wouldn't come as much of a surprise that for my first lipstick splurge I picked a wonderful nude shade, Dolce Vita*. I love lipsticks that are "your lips but better" and I just feel like this is the perfect version of that effect. I feel so pretty wearing this and I don't really think I could ask for much more from a makeup product than that.

This lipstick is a deep nude without having an overwhelming brown undertone that washes you out. There is a pink undertone that really compliments and mimics natural lip color. Of course everyone has different skin tones and that is reflected in our natural lip color, meaning that this being my perfect shade might not translate. I love it though. I have been looking forward to putting it on every day when I do my makeup. It stays on the lips really well but I do feel that I need to reapply it after I eat or drink something. It isn't bothersome enough to make me love this product any less though.

If any of you own a Nars lipstick that you absolute love then I would love to hear what shades they are. I may be hooked after this first purchase. Do you like this shade? Would you give it a chance? Let me know in the comments :)

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick Review 

Hello Lovelies. I'm Jordan Nicole :) I watch a lot of Youtube videos and I have a good deal of favorite Youtubers. One of the people on that list (well really at the top of that list) is Zoe Sugg aka Zoella. Her channel is so wonderful and she is just the loveliest person you'll ever meet (or watch.. you know what I mean). I have been watching her main channel and her vlog channel for a long time and have come to really trust her opinion on products. She frequently mentions Rimmel's Kate Moss lipstick range and after hearing about it more times than I could count I decided to give it a try. I went and purchased two to start out with, one of which was the one Zoe mentioned the most. 

I enjoyed the berry and red shades I purchased so much that I went back to get another shade from the range. When I found the nude I knew that it was going to get daily use. Each of them is creamy without sliding off your lips. They are hydrating just enough without crossing over into messy. I have gotten a lot of use out of these and reach for them often. They are very pigmented and have good staying power. Plus the packaging is pretty and who doesn't like having pretty things in their makeup bag or collection? :)

14- Nude 

This is my ultimate "my lips but better" color. I have been searching for the perfect nude for a long time and with this I have found it. It is a brown shade nude, very 90s, but I like that about it. I didn't want a pinky or peachy nude. 

111- Red

The perfect matte red shade. It is not an overwhelming color on the lips but it is still red enough to make a statement. I haven't gotten to use this a ton yet but with the holiday season coming up I am betting that I will get a lot of use out of it.
***This is a lot more red than the picture suggests. I think the lighting was giving it more pink tones than it actually has. 

107- Berry 

If you want that berry fall lip but are a little hesitant on going dark this is the shade for you. This is a berry lip without being completely out there. If you use your finger or a brush you can actually make this a pinker berry color but if you just put it straight on your lips it is fall in a perfectly subtle way. I have been reaching for this a lot in the last month.

Overall I really enjoy having these in my makeup bag and I would love to buy more shades in the range. I would recommend the line in general but my favorite has to be the nude. Have you ever tried the Kate Moss range? What's your favorite shade? Let me know in the comments! :)
