Review: Maybelline Color Whisper Lipstick

While I was shopping at Target, I was excited to see the new line of Maybelline lipsticks available in all 20 shades!  I've read several reviews about the line's sheer, balm-like" qualities that were comparable to Revlon Lip Butter.  I picked up #75 "Rose of Attraction" as my beta tester, which is a darker pink.  The shades available are pinks, neutrals, and brights, so I'm sure there will be one that catches your eye!

Pros:

• Inexpensive (You can buy it for $5.99 here!)
• A wide variety of colors available
• Glides on easily
• Compact and stylish packaging
• Its hybrid formula gives you a 3-in-1 deal: balm, lipstick, and glossy lip tint
• Feels weightless on your lips
• Highly pigmented

Cons:

• "Dries up" after an hour of wear
• Occasional color stains on lips

Rating: 4.5/5

2013 Beauty Resolutions

This post is a bit early because as of tomorrow, I'll be on an extended New Years vacation in New York City with limited access to my computer.  2013 is right around the corner and I'm going to vow to follow these resolutions:

1. Follow my skincare regimen EVERY night.  There are some nights I feel lazy, only wash my face, and go to bed... No more of that!
2. Spend smartly on beauty products.  Brand names vs. drugstore brands, what's worth it and what's not -- AKA, I need to spend more time reading reviews.
3. Use tinted moisturizer (or BB cream) with SPF.
4. Getting more beauty sleep.
5. Update my blog at least once a month!  I'm taking 21 credits at school and working part-time as well... Wish me luck!  But I promise that I will try to update you with all things beauty related at least once a month.

What are your beauty related New Years resolutions?

I hope everybody has a fun and safe 2013!  XOXO.
