30 Days of Lips - Day 30: L.A. Girl "Deepest Purple" Lip Liner

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hiii!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Lip challenge is over!!! (doing a little happy dance)...I won't lie I'm happy. Having to do something everyday can be a bit stifling and losing my memory card didn't help at all (forgive my horrible pictures). Traveling and stuff got in the way so I wasn't always able to post everyday but I made sure I made up for all the times I was behind.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The last lip for the month is L.A. Girl's  Lip Liner in "Deepest Purple"...it's really dark and if you're going for the vampy/goth look, this is a winner. It reminds me of House of Tara's "Tejuosho" when applied with gloss on top.</div>

Anyhoos, Inglot #294 on the lips...it's really similar to MAC's rebel,  which will be on the blog soon, and NYX's Licorice Butter Lipstick, which I talked about <a href="http://www.diaryofafashionenthusiast.com/2015/06/30-days-of-lips-day-21-nyx-licorice.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.

30 Days of Lips - Day 24: MK Auto Eye Liner

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Haha. Yeah, you read right. It's really eye liner and I wore it on my lip because I'm a rebel like that :p</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Truth be told, I saw it with all the other eye liners and assumed it was too. Besides, you all know I have a thing for purple lip color right? This seemed like a must try.</div>

30 Days of Lips - Day 23: ELF "Fantasy"

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Guys,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My friends are the worst (where worst means BEST EVER!) and they keep feeding my lipstick situation. I was a bridesmaid at one of my friend-turned-sister's wedding and she gave us lipsticks to say thank you. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I got the ELF Lipstick in "Fantasy". It looks like a warm chocolate brown but on my lips, it's a lot paler. Not like I'm complaining, I'm just grateful that my nude collection keeps growing...you know I'm all about the nudes yo!</div>

30 Days of Lips - Day 22: Zaron "Brick Chick" Lip Liner

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hiya,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't need to go over that long spiel again, right? You know, the one where I express my undying love and devotion to Zaron Lip Liners. I picked this up from Ebeano too for N750 and I was sold the minute I saw the color. I have nothing like it, as in, not a thing...so I was really excited to buy it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Brick Chick is a muddy purple-brown...such a sucky description right? I know! Let the pictures do the talking.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hi Guys!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Licorice is a berry-toned from NYX's butter lipstick range. Just like Mary Janes, it's creamy and highly pigmented, staying power is pretty good but not awesome 'cause if you're like me, you lick half of the lipstick off :(</div>

30 Days of Lips - Day 20: Amira #110

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hey,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I bought this Amira Lipstick (#110) when I was feeling very adventurous...it's a lot brighter than I would ordinarily go, the perfect Barbie pink. I don't use it so often 'cause it's a statement lip in itself but trust that when I do, it stands all the way out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I bought it for about N300 in a store in the Adeniran Ogunsanya Shopping Mall, Surulere...you can tell I like cheap things :) plus finding amazing deals like this gives me so much joy down in my heart. LOL.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The downside tho? Horrible smell. It smells as cheap as its price...like petroleum jelly with a hint of kerosene. Also, its coverage is not evenly distributed, so you have to pay more attention to the parts that were not properly covered as opposed to just swiping to and fro. But for N300, I can't complain too much.</div>

30 Days of Lips - Day 19: NYX "Mary Janes" Butter Lipstick

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hi Guys,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You'll probably remember this lipstick from my makeup haul <a href="http://www.diaryofafashionenthusiast.com/2015/02/nyx-x-elf-makeup-haul.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> but if you don't, worry not 'cause it's today's lip.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

Mary Janes ia s red-orange creamy lipstick from NYX's butter range. It smells and feels like butter on the lips too. The only downside of this buttery texture is that it tends to bleed a lot and doesn't last as long as probably a drier lipstick would. Still, it's not your everyday shade and that itself makes it worth having.<br />

I think I got this for about N1,500 from Gifty's Daughter. You can visit their store at 25a Toyin street, Ikeja.<br />

30 Days of Lips - Day 18: Zaron "Brick Layers" Lip Liner Pencil

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hiya!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I believe Zaron makes the best lipliners hands down! You can't tell me nothing. I have over 5 Zaron pencils and they are all amazing...consistently smooth texture, color pay-off, super pigmentation and amazing pricing. Like, you seriously can't tell me nothing!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I recently gave Brick Layers to a friend as a gift and I was so tempted to keep it to myself. Fast forward to last week thursday when I saw it again in Ebeano for N750...I knew I had to get one for myself.</div>

30 Days of Lips - Day 17: L.A. Girl "Inspiration"

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I can't even apologise enough for the lack of posts. I had to go away on a 4-day trip and had no time to post. Got back yesterday afternoon and then I realised I left my camera's memory card at the hotel...arggghhh. The pictures in this post and a couple of others to come were taken by my iPhone so forgive the not so great quality.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm wearing L.A. Girl's Inspiration...it's a dark berry-plum shade and its creamy nature allows it easily glide on the lips. I'm a fan of not too loud colors that I can wear pretty much everywhere so this fits in perfectly. The only thing I dislike about it, which is also peculiar to all L.A. Girl Lipsticks I own, is that the cover never stays on properly. It keeps coming off in my makeup bag and making a mess. Arghh. Can they fix it already?</div>

30 Days of Lips - Day 16: MAC "La Vie En Rouge"

Hi Guys!<br />
<br />
I had erroneously put up this picture as Flat Out Fabulous...forgive me, I have corrected the other post, you can go back a couple of posts and take a look. It's actually La vie en rouge, part of MAC's Matte Collection released last year.<br />
<br />
La vie en rouge is actually described by MAC as a bright coral lipstick, but I think I'd describe it as a fuchsia pink lipstick with orangey undertones...if that makes any sense. It has a creamy matte finish, easily glides on with no tugging or pulling on my lips. The closest dupe to this that I have will be MAC's "Impassioned", though this is a bit more orange (I should do a post so you can see how similar they both are).<br />

Hi!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
First, I must apologise for not putting up a post yesterday, I had internet issues which I believe are sorted now. So the good news is, I get to put up 2 posts today (hopefully someone is following this series and saying yay...lol).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

MAC "D for Danger" on my lip today and it was in a goodie bag from the Vanestyle clinic which held this past Sunday.</div>

<br />
It's a deep berry-red lipstick with pink undertones and a matte finish similar to Heroine...surprisingly creamy and not too drying. As a result, it applies really easily and doesn't show any cracks in the lips. It isn't really a color I would have bought on my own, but it's not bad at all.<br />
<br />
Day 16 soon :)<br />
<br />
Kisses.<br />

I'm wearing a crop top and high waisted maxi skirt by Ejiro Amos Tafiri (EAT). I can literally wear this everyday if you let me...it's so my style.

I love everything she makes, she's definitely on top of my fave Nigerian designers list...her clothes are so easy, comfortable and effortlessly chic. </div>
