New! Brazen Cosmetics Liquid Lipstick! Plus a CONTEST!

Good morning beautiful Zombies!

I hope you're all having a nice week so far! Two of my 3 kids are now in school and my house feels extra quiet..I'll have to get use to this.

I was given the opportunity to swatch some of the new Liquid Lipstick by Brazen Cosmetics for you all. Brazen has upped the amp on their website and has come out with some seriously gorgeous lipstick! Let's jump right in!

*Please be sure to click images for maximum awesome!


I received:

Starlet: Girly Pink w/Sugary Shimmer 
Le Femme: Peachy Neutral with Gold Sheen 
Trophy Wife: Expensive Coral Peach w/Gold Shimmer 
Swagger: Surprisingly Complex Lilac/Beige/Pink 
Hot Blooded: Warm Burgundy with Sexy Shimmer





What are the new Liquid Lipstick? (per website)

ULTRAPLUSH (tm) LIQUID LIPSTICK: The latest technology plus vitamins & antioxidants for a flawless moisturizing finish. This lip-softening color is what your lips have been begging for! Opaque full coverage lipstick in a creamy soft texture that gives you everything you love in a lipstick but none of the drying. Our brand new lipstick line comes in a wide range of shades to satisfy every girl’s lust for color! Lightly flavored like vanilla cupcake, does it get any better?

Castor Seed Oil provides fantastic softness with a satin finish. Beeswax holds color on your lips, for a long-wearing formula. Organic Jojoba & Meadowfoam & Argan oils drench your lips in softness, actually improving skin texture and condition. We also add green tea extract, vitamin E (gluten-free) & vitamin C for anti-oxidant & anti-aging properties.

Everything you’ve come to expect from Brazen!

Ingredients close up!

I love the creamy consistency of the new lipstick! I used a lip brush to apply product from the jars and found that they are so easy to apply and spread evenly on my lips; not to mention that each color is super pigmented in it's own way! Each shade has a glossy sheen to it, but no sparkles. My favorite of this lot is Hot Blooded. It's a hot burnt red color and it's gorgeous on my giant lips! I can't wait to wear this color ALL of Fall. ;) Trophy Wife is more bronze than the swatches portray and Swagger has an interesting blue flash to it- the ultimate Taupe lipstick! Starlet is a fun girly pink and Le Femme is just the perfect shade of peach without being too overbearing and crazy on the lips.

There is a light (faint) smell to the lipstick, but it's far from overpowering. The lipstick does hang around quite a while on the lips. I think the glossy sheen is a bit *too* much for me as I enjoy a more subtle creamy texture, but I will still enjoy and wear the crap out of these.

The 11 ML dial up pen is $13.99 with shipping or you can get a 2 gram sample for $2.99 (which I'm assuming are the jars.)

I really love the new packaging that the dial up wands come in!








Brazen's fun business card!

I'm just a tease...LOTD!

Evening Zombies!

I did a super bright look today with my new Brazen Cosmetics order that I received yesterday! (Swatches are coming up in a later post.) Sandi threw in this awesome new lip gloss called "Crazy Cat Lady." Let's just say, it was love at first site, even though I prefer dogs. LOL!

So, with my new bright colors, it kicked my ass into gear to come up with something a little more daring and "brazen."







Just a tease....

The Goods:

TFSI as primer
Maybelline Color Tattoo in "Too Cool" as base
Brazen Cosmetics "Tease" main lid and inner lower lash line
Brazen Cosmetics "Strut" above and into crease
Brazen Cosmetics " Karma" blended into crease and outer lower lash line
MAC "Shroom" as highlight
Random liner and mascara

Cheeks:
Maybelline Bouncy Blush in "Pink Frosting"

Lips:
Brazen Cosmetics "Crazy Cat Lady" lip gloss

Hope you love the colors as much as I do!

Hey Zombies!

This is my second entry for a contest that Brazen Cosmetics is having on their Facebook page. I don't even know or care what the prizes are, I'm just having fun coming up with looks with just ONE company. Gives me a chance to try all the colors I have from said company. I might do this with my other eyeshadow. Just use one company for a week. It's fun!


Anyhow, this is the look. I LOVE IT!



HAHA, I look particularly "saucy" here. Perfect for the "Brazen" concept.






I mixed Enchanted Emerald and Plumeria from Morgana Crypotia on my lips. I really love this combo. I've done it a few times now. I also added a little bronzer, and that was it. The highlight on my eyes in "Bubbly" from Beauty from the Earth.

I hope you're all having a great day. My son's been a little challenging the last few months and it's taking it's toll on my patience. I love him so much but can't wait for him to grow out the the "2's." *sigh* He JUST turned 2. I will survive.
