Making lipstick at home!

Have you ever considered making your own lipstick? I have! I hate when I need a specific color and can’t find anything close to what I’m looking for. It’s also sad when you find an amazing color that is limited edition (ahem… pink friday anyone??). After watching these videos from EnKore Makeup I think it would be so fun to make custom lipsticks for photoshoots and weddings. It would be awesome to be able to use a custom lipstick on a bride then let her take it with her for her big day! For the cost of buying all the lipsticks I want from LimeCrime I could have unlimited amounts of pastels and black! I can’t wait to experiment with different finishes, scents & flavors. What color would you make?

Product Review: John Frieda Precision Foam Haircolor

The color I used was 10B UltraLight Beige Blonde.

I was extremely happy with the result because of the color, condition it left my hair and the dimension. I would like to add that getting hair re-colored after using this product was a nightmare. I tried tinting my hair a light pale pink and spent over 5 hours in a hair salon because it simply wouldn’t grab onto the color. Finally the only product that had any effect on my hair was cheap manic panic from Sally’s (although the color did turn out quite fabulous). Because of the nightmare of trying to recolor I give this product only 3 stars.

If you’re going to continue using it on your roots I’m sure you’ll have better luck than I did.
