Full frontal nudity (so sexay, I'm blushing)

I know everyone's been waiting with bated breath to find out which lip product I decided to return (ha). Well, it was two: the MAC Lipglass in Lychee Luxe and the KORRES Lip Butter in Mango. Pour some on the ground for my returned homies With the money I saved, I invested in a great nude lip color*, one of the shades I currently don't have in my beauty arsenal, and also a lovely peach cheek color from the Victoria's Secret makeup line.

I hit up this place called The Cosmetics Company that sells discontinued and discounted brand name makeup--mostly Estee Lauder, but also YSL, Prescriptives, Clinique, and everyone's favorite, MAC. I found this great product there in MAC Slimshines. It's the perfect formula for me: a lipstick/lipgloss combo with sheer yet buildable color. Great for the summer months, when I don't feel like being bothered with the goopy heaviness a true lipstick or lipgloss would leave. I picked a shade that was close to my own skin color but slightly pinker, to avoid that "dead lips" look.

This lippie will be fantastic for when I do up my eyes (since I'm more of an eyeshadow girl anyways) and also for work or everyday wear.

I also picked up a Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Cheek Tint in Just Peachy. It comes in a tiny deodorant stick container like my Stila Color Push-Up. I love the ease of portability and application with these and how the color creates a pretty, natural flush.

VS Cheek Tint in Just Peachy (cheeks) & MAC Slimshine in Ultra Elegant (lips)

The VS Cheek Tint has a watermelon candy scent to it (yummers), while the MAC Slimshine has a faint vanilla scent familiar to those of you who use their other lip products. Each product wears well, with the Cheek Tint fading only after scrubbing it off with makeup remover and the Slimshine lasting about 2-3 hours with regular application after drinking or meals.

What great packaging, too. I already told you I'm loving the deodorant stick shape of the Cheek Tint, and the Slimshine casing is so sleek and shiny it's like pulling out a work of art every time I apply it, lol. All in all, I'm quite satisfied with my purchases

*TIP: You can use concealer and a lipgloss to create a nude lip as well, if you don't feel like investing in a nude lipstick. I tried this before buying the MAC Slimshine, but the particular concealer I have made my lips look greenish, like I'd been noshing on baby poop. Nast.
