Kardashian Beauty Sea Coral En-Joystick Lip Lacquer

I know what you're all thinking... Brittany. Posting about a lip product?! NO WAY! yes, its pretty well known that I totally neglect my lips and avoid all lip products besides chapstick but i decide its time i face my fears and try a few lip products out.

my first weapon (or lip product... either or) of choice is the Kardashian Beauty (formally known as Khroma) En-Joystick lip lacquer in sea coral. I have had my eye on this product since the summer and I finally caved an purchased it.

Ulta describes this lip lacquer as a "super Intense long lasting lip color goes on like a cream and lasts through all the fun and games. Gain complete mastery over your lip color with a flick of your Joystick." 

I'm attracted to lip products that come in a stick form (chubby sticks, jumbo lip pencils ect.) because they seam effortless and like you don't need a mirror. With this joystick I think you would need a mirror for this product because it is so slim. The joysticks are retractable so you don't need to worry about sharpening them. I'm a huge fan of the packaging of this product. it comes in a plastic tube with a lid that snaps on tightly so you don't have to worry about the product opening in your purse or travel bag. the end of the tube is color coated to the product inside and is represented pretty accurately. The product itself is very rich and creamy with amazing pigmentation, that is also buildable! I don't think the product its necessarily "super intense long lasting" but the product lasts a fair amount but isnt something crazy long. I find the product to be fairly moisturizing but nothing super moisturizing and not drying. 

Sea coral is a beautiful pinky-peach (aka coral) color with a cream finish. on the lips it has a bit of a glossy-like finish. I would show you it on my lips but they are extremely chapped because i forgot to bring my lush lip scrub home on break, so i figured i would save you the horror. There are 8 other shades in the collection. I think the colors in the collection are very "kardashian" like colors, I hope they add more colors to the collection because i'm a big fan of these! i really think this color will be great for spring and summer, especially with a tan :)

The En-Joystick Lip Lacqures currently retail for $8.99 at ulta. They are actually currently on sale for buy 1 get 1 50% off which is a great deal!

The New Black Ombre Nail Polish Set in Waves

I have had my eye on the company The New Black for some time now, well ever since Demi released a nail polish line with them. For my birthday I received 2 different nail polish sets i had been lusting over! i had my eye on this turquoise ombre set for awhile now because hello, turquoise is my color. the name of the set is waves, and its the most perfect name because these nail polishes make me think a mermaid would wear them (especially the glitter color)

for me i love the packaging of these polishes. they are packaged in small rectangular bottles and on the back they have the big graphic The New Black logo on them. The brush is a classic nail polish brush that is easy to use and smoothes out the polish perfectly.

the formula of this nail polish is very creamy and pigmented, it needs about 2 coats. the set comes with a wide range of finishes. the set is intended for you to wear together, although for me i don't think i would. but they are brilliant colors on their own.

the first color in this set is a light mint cream color. second color is a turquoise color with a slight shimmer. third color is a deep turquoise/teal color with shimmer. fourth color, and my favorite color, is a glittery teal color. literally something a mermaid would have on her nails! the final color is a dark teal color with a cream finish.

You can get their products at ulta and sephora. the ombre nail sets are $22
