So a few months ago this photo of Rihanna was circling around (right) and like the rest of the beauty world, I had to have that lip color! Anastasia Beverly Hills makes a color called Potion in their liquid lipsticks. From all the beauty tutorials I have seen for this look about 95% say Potion is the color Rhianna is wearing. The color retails for $20.00 which is a tad pricey for some. So being the cheap gal I am, I had to find a cheaper version of the color. NYX makes a line of soft matte lip creams which I personally LOVE. They retail for $6.00 and I don't know about you but I enjoy saving $14.
I will say that Transylvania (left) by itself is not the same as Potion from Anastasia. Here are the products I used to create my look using Transylvania, the Cheap Girl way!
- NYX Lip Pencils: Colors Mahogany and Prune. After completing the look I would recommend using a black lip liner with NYX Prune rather than Mahogany. Retails for $3.50
- NYX Nude Matte Shadow: Color Dance The Tide. This color is my absolute favorite and I honestly use it everyday. For my skin tone it is great as a transition color and good for blending. This shadow retails for $4.50 and I've had it for a good bit of time now.
- Bella Terra Mineral Cosmetics: The color of this eyeshadow is Deep. I have used it maybe twice since I purchased it and may I be honest. This shadow was an impulse buy from a kiosk in the mall. I sadly paid $10 for it BUT normally it retails for $15. It really is a gorgeous color though!
- Urban Decay Naked Palette: Last but not least is the beloved Naked Palette. I know for this to be the "Cheap Girl's Guide to Make-Up" thats not to cheap. Well it was a Christmas gift but I will say this pallet is a great investment. It is a tad pricey however it has the essential colors and the quality of it is very nice. SO I say skip the cheaper palettes and use the money to invest in a good one.
You're fantastic with your makeup!
