Notd: forget now, party hardy

Sinful Colors forget now is cool bright fuchsia with blue and pink glitter.  I loved it in the bottle but at the beginning not so much on my nails.  It took me about two days (and 3 coats) to really appreciate its beauty. What I find so cool in this color is that even before top coat it looks super shinny, like its still wet; almost like glass.  I added even more sparkle to it layering an accent nail with Icing party hardy, a fuchsia base with pink and black glitter.

Pink & Gold with LA Colors

Made this look using the LA Colors Metallic eyeshadow palette in Wildflowers. I love this palette, I got it with two others ( Wine & Rose, Tea Time ) at a Dollar General while visiting a friend in Orlando. Ive wanted these palettes for a long time, they are not easy to find here in Puerto Rico. If you happen to know where to find them in PR please!!!! let me know. While, While!!! back ago I remember our local Walgreens & Kmart used to sell LA Colors but not anymore

I used the yellow, gold, pink and dark fuchsia shades on the palette and a hint of black in the outer corner.
highlight: matte cream shade from WnW Color Icon Vanity palette
waterline: white WnW kohl eyeliner
lashes: Mark make it big mascara in Raven
top eyeliner: Elf waterproof eyeliner pen in Midnight to trace the wing shape, then filled with Mark on the edge liquid liner in Cleo

I'm still struggling to create a look I like with the other palettes ( Wine & Rose, Tea Time ), so if you have done a look with them let me know, I need to get inspired! :D

Avon Chocolate Kiss Lipgloss

Since my sister in law started selling Avon I've tried a lot of their products, specially from the Mark line.  In overall I think Mark makeup products have better quality than regular Avon. As you can see in the pictures they come in a squeeze tube.  They come in 4 different shades: Cherry Truffles, Chocolate Covered Strawberry, Chocolate Cream and Raspberry Mousse.  I got all except Chocolate Cream; on sale for $.99 They are creamy and a little thick at the same time; way more pigmented than regular gloss which is good.

As with most squeeze tube lip products is better to use a brush for a nice, even and messy free application. The smell is tricky: they smell like fake chocolate smell, don't know how to explain it better! LoL
However, I do like that kind of smell ( call me weird! )  f you smell it right from the tube the scent is quite strong, but at least for me it was barely noticeable when wearing it. They have a mildly sweet - chocolaty taste.

My favorite is Cherry Truffles. In person looks more like a dark fuchsia.  It gives a nice shine without looking greasy and good coverage.  It can be applied alone or on top of a lipstick / lip liner to add glossiness.

Raspberry Mousse is a berry - wine shade with gold shimmer. It has really good pigmentation but is thicker than the other two.

Chocolate Covered Strawberry is a strawberry pink shade with frosted silver shimmer.  This one is my least favorite.  To my surprise this is the most opaque of the tree shades but consistency is a little pasty, on lips looked streaky and frost have never suited my lips.


On staying power: Not great. Had to retouch once while having drinks and twice ( at the 3rd time I just said forget it! ) if I was eating & drinking.  After no retouches it leaves a nice stain, but lips got really sticky.

Will I repurchase these?
Even tho I love everything chocolate, I don't like them that much.

Which are your favorite and least favorite scented lip products???
