Wet n Wild Cherry Picking vs Bite Beauty Winterberry

it would appear as if there is a wnw dupe for every high end lipstick shade..

I found a dupe for bite winterberry in wnw cherry picking - the difference is that wnw is more matte (similar case with wnw wine room and bite meritage) 

Lipstick Inspiration: Amerie

 i love mixing lippies and rarely wear just one color (bite beauty winterberry is one lippie i wear solo)

I love these looks on Amerie and decided how i'll recreate them

1. nyx copenhagen and nyx transylvania ~ i'll put copenhagen in the inner parts of my lips to give an almost ombre effect

2. sephora soulmate and rimmel 107 ~ love this raspberry and berry look

3. Milani violet addict and elf showstopper blush ~ perhaps violet addict could work on its own but it's a bit too bright and slippery for my liking so i like to add the elf blush as a "base"

Candle Mania?

I keep getting coupons from bath and body works - i get them when i shop there and i just got one sent to me in the mail. All i ever really want there are candles. I never thought of myself as a candle hoarder but here  i am thinking about ordering/buying more candles

I justify my purchases because 2 for $22 deals are great with a discount slapped on top of that and I'm halfway through my marshmallow fireside and i've finished up a few of my minis - citron cedarwood, rainforest sugarcane, ocean driftwood, island waters and mahogany teakwood. How can i resist?

AOTD: Feel

i got up at 3am and had an urge to paint. I painted to candle light for the most part. When it's hard to put your feeling in writing - painting works
