Hello...hello! Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I actually did a little bit of shopping and wow the malls and shops are so packed at the moment because of people doing some last minute Christmas shopping! I am actually guilty of being a last minute gift shopper because there are still a few people that I have not yet shopped for so gotta do that soon!
Since Christmas is getting closer and closer I thought it would be fun to do a post about my favorite lip colors for the Holidays. This year I find myself really loving deep vibrant colors with a little bit of glam.
My lipstick/lipgloss collection is not that impressive so I really don't own too many. These picks are from stuff in my collection, so I'm not picking out my favorites from all the products that are available out there.
Glossin' It
MAC Dazzleglass Creme - Amorous
I think MAC Dazzleglass and Dazzleglass Creme (favorite formula) are great lip glosses for the Holidays. I never really used them before because I thought they were a bit too glittery for every day wear but I just recently discovered how amazing they are. They really can instantly add that touch of glam that you need for any occasion!
Amorous - Deep red/burgundy wine color
This color is so gorgeous and sexy! It might be too much for day time wear for some people but it will definitely get you notice at any party. I actually like to wear this gloss alone since it's so pigmented but you can also pair it with something.
MAC Dazzleglass - Extra Amps
Extra Amps - Sheer hot pink/fuschia color
This color is really cute and is perfect if you just want a little glitz but don't want to over do it. Since this is on the sheer side it works best if you pair it with something. I like this over a baby pink lipstick.
MAC Dazzleglass Creme - Luscious Spark
Luscious Spark (the one on the left/bottom) - Red coral color
This is my absolute favorite! It's when you kind of want red lips but you don't want to go all red. The color is just so festive and fun. I usually wear this gloss by itself, it gives me the perfect bright coral lips.
Nars Lipgloss - Dolce Vita
Dolce Vita - Plum rose color (glossy with no shimmers)
I got this sample from Sephora and absolutely went gaga over it (swatch in the photo with luscious spark). I didn't care too much for Striptease but I love Dolce Vita so much I actually already ordered a full size. It has just the right pigmentation and covers up my lips perfectly. The formula is super creamy with a glossy finish. Since it has no shimmers it is perfect for day or night. It gives my lips the perfect berry stained look.
Lipsticks
Clinique - Pink Chocolate
Pink Chocolate - Berry Mauve color
This color is berry-licious! It's like you've been eating berries all day..yum I never really cared for Clinique lipsticks but their formula is actually really nice. It's not too drying and the staying power is decent.
Revlon Colorstay Sheer - Sheer Coral
Sheer Coral- Red/Orange color
Revlon Colorstay lipsticks are super buttery! I was so amazed when I applied it because of how smooth it felt on my lips. This is a sheer color so it's perfect to add just a nice tint of color to your lips.
Jill Stuart Lipstick - Rosy Coral
Rosy Coral - Rosy Pink color
This is a really cute color and goes on sheer as well. It gives your lips a nice flush (just like how a blush would give cheeks that flush look), and you can never go wrong with little hints of shimmers.
This is an example of how the perfect lip product can turn a sad party into a rad party? lol
Sad party.....until
MAC Amorous saved the day!
now it's a rad party..woohoo!
So what are your favorite lip products this season?

I participated in Secret Santa this year that was hosted by Kay (http://bihadadiaries.blogspot.com/). It was so much fun and I was very excited when my secret santa package came!
L'oreal Color Appeal e/s Palette, L'oreal Color Riche Lipstick, Paul & Joe Powder Refill
Everything was nicely wrapped but I got so excited that I tore everything up before taking pictures :/
In her note she stated that she tried to get me stuff that wasn't available in the US.
The colors in this palette look so pretty, can't wait to try.
She also included some of her handmade jewelry.
These earrings are way too adorable!
This is a little charm that you can clip on to your bag, cell phone, keys etc.
last but not least, she included this gorgeous bracelet! I love everything..thank you..thank you ...thank you!
It would be so nice if I had a year round Secret Santa that sent me gifts every month haha (wishful thinking)
