Dose of Lola

Woah, is it December? Time flies when you're incredibly busy. So, you know how I planned on swatching all my Lippmanns? I'm almost done! Now I just need to focus on posting them. Anyway, onto this fun mani.






2 coats

Deborah Lippmann Lilac Wine is a pastel lavender creme. First, I love this shade of purple. I'd wear it everyday if I didn't have so many polishes. Second, the formula on this is delicious. I stamped Color Club Eternal Beauty over top with an image from BM-404.



Lila Wine retails for $17 and is available (exclusively?) at Sephora.

So, the Lavish Set is an amazing value. For only $38, you get a 10 shadow palette, full sized tweezers, a mini brow pencil, a mini eye liner, and a mini double-ended brush. No wonder it's pretty much sold out everywhere!



Anyway, I was mainly interested in only two shades (Rum Cake and Sienna) from the palette. I didn't even know there was more to the kit until I got home.











I ended up really liking Truffle and Black Diamond as well. The glitter in Black Diamond sticks pretty well, too. All of the shades are pretty smooth and pigmented, but the mattes are a bit chalky. It's kind of crazy how nice these shadows are! My main gripe with this set is the packaging, but I'll get over it.



Here's a look I did using Orange Soda, Rum Cake, Sienna, and Truffle:











The Lavish set is still in stock at one of the Sephoras near me and online at Ulta.

This will be more of a rave than a review because I have absolutely nothing bad to say about these lipsticks. Obsessed! I have my top 3 picks from the line to share with you today.






Risk it All, Lead the Way, Stand Out




Risk it All, Lead the Way, Stand Out

The main reason I love these lipsticks is because they are incredibly comfortable to wear. It's rare that I find a highly pigmented lipstick that doesn't feel drying at some point in the wear time. So the fact that these Marvelous Moxies are probably the most hydrating lipsticks I own is a pretty big deal. Actually, they're the most hydrating lipsticks I own in this price point, which is $18. Such a great price for truly amazing lipsticks. Also, the satin finish is perfect for this formula.












Definitely check these out if you haven't yet!

So, I've probably made it clear that Deborah Lippmann is my favorite polish brand. I have a habit of buying everything she releases, even if it's not a color I'd typically wear. Well, I decided to reorganize my stash and get rid of some colors that absolutely will not work for me, and this is what I was left with:









I know, it's kind o funny that this is how many I have left AFTER a purge. Of these 95, I've swatched roughly half. My goal for this Lippmann Swatchathon is to have them all swatched by the end of December. That means I'll be posting tons of DL and will sometimes post more than once a day if there's something else I'd like to share. I'm excited and think this will be a lot of fun. Hopefully I don't bore you all too much.



Wish me luck!
