How Luxurious Can Nude Lips Be? Too Faced Lip of Luxury Review

In my constant quest for the perfect lipstick, I came across the Too Faced Lip of Luxury line of lipsticks. These lipsticks claim to be champagne-infused, creamy, shiny lipcolors that help smoothen the appearance of fine lines in the lips. This lipstick had me at hello the shiny diamond-like stone on the top of the lipstick cap:

The shade I tried is called Totally Nude. It's actually a shade darker than nude, which I think makes it more wearable, especially if you don't like the super nude, lips-blending-in-with-skin lip colors. This is especially nice for darker-skinned beauties because it won't wash you out.

The shade is almost that perfect balance of brown and pink, neither tone being overpowering. On me, it has that my-lips-but-better look:

So what about the formula? It is creamy and moisturizing, but not as much as the MAC cremesheen formula lipsticks. I don't think it helped minimize the appearance of the lines in my lips, but my lips did feel nice and moist. As far as staying power, I did get a good 3 hours of wear, until I drank coffee and ate, after which I did have to reapply, but then again that happens with any lipstick I wear. Overall, the formula is nice, but I prefer the MAC lipsticks because of the formula, color range, and price tag.

Too Faced Sale!!

Hello lovelies! Yes, I know I have been a bit MIA but I have been quite busy the past few days. I wanted to let you know about the Too Faced Cosmetics sale that started today on their website:

Also, if you use code TFSU when you check out, you get an additional 20% off! And yes, that applies to the sale products!! Happy shopping!!

Summer-Proof Makeup Kits!!

I have really been loving Make Up For Ever (MUFE) lately and I have sooo many products to tell you about. However, life has been so busy that I haven't had time to photograph them for you...but I will definitely let you in on my faves during the next couple weeks.

In any case, I saw the most amazing kit while browsing the Sephora website:

Too Faced, Urban Decay, and Smashbox Deals!!!

I wrote this post then I had to modify it because there are just too many good deals to talk about! In addition to the fabulous Sephora Friends and Family Sale, here are other droolworthy offers:

Too Faced has their vintage sale going on now, and you can get some great products for ridiculously cheap prices! They were out of a lot of stuff a few days ago, but they restocked so it is worth checking out. You can even get an additional 20% off using coupon code tfglam, and apparently it does work on the sale items....SCORE!!!!

You may already know about this, but Smashbox.com offers free shipping on ALL purchases ALL the time. No dollar limit and no coupon codes required. They also give great deluxe size samples, AND, if you checkout between 9am-2pm PST on a Tuesday or Thursday, they throw in a free full sized item! They call in Let's Do Lunch....meaning you shop during your lunch break. In my opinion, its brilliant!

Lastly, Urban Decay is planning to have their next Friends and Family sale before the holidays, and their discount is usually 30% off, so if you have been wanting something from them, I would hold off from getting it during the Sephora F&F sale, and get it later during the Urban Decay F&F sale...and you know you all will be the first to know about it when I find out.

Happy e-shopping!!!
