If you follow me on Instagram then you saw a peek of this purple lipstick a few days ago and since it's already showing up on the blog within 3 days of me receiving it in the mail you know I'm obsessed with it. I never ever ever thought I'd actually consider wearing dark purple lipstick, but this color is a game changer. Yes, don't get me wrong it's not for the light of heart and it's a statement maker, but somehow it's still SO wearable. I wouldn't wear it during the day, but for a night out (especially a girls' night out) I'd definitely rock this purple shade with neutral makeup and a shimmery eye!
On another note I just got a new under eye concealer because I needed one that was not only a concealer, but also a color corrector and brightener. I ended up buying Makeup Forever's Ultra HD Invisible Cover Concealer and I'm super impressed. It has peachy undertones which not only helps with my dark circles, but also brightens! I've been wearing my glasses a lot more and when you wear glasses it's really important to brighten under your eyes because your frames can cast dark shadows. This concealer really does the trick and if you're in the market for a new one I highly suggest it!
