Today’s beauty diary post is about lipstick remixes! Now you’re probably wondering, what exactly is a “lipstick remix”? A lipstick remix is when you take a lipstick color (or 2 or 3) and create a completely new look from the color that comes out of the tube. Often times I find that bloggers and magazines recommend lipstick colors but they leave out important details like what lip liners they use or what colors you can mix together to make your lips really pop! So today I’m gonna show you some of the lip remixes that I love from spring. Lets start off with the first four colors: the glosses.

I was really excited to find out about the new Makeup Forever HD Blush. I immediately jumped at the chance to purchase two of the darker shades from Sephora (520 and 515) but was disappointed to find out 520 was already “sold out” online and Sephora would not be carrying that shade in stores. That made me feel some kind of way that they chose not to sell the darkest shade in stores, not sure what their reasoning behind that was but I digress. Luckily enough there is a Makeup Forever store nearby and I was able to pick up 520.
