Color Crush #1: Purple

'Color Crush' is a new series that we decided to start here on Happy In Hot Pink! Basically we pick a color and show our favorite products with that specific color.

Today, we are talking about purple! I have been recently really loving the color purple in beauty recently so I am sharing with you my top picks!



E.L.F Essential Custom Eyes Refill Pan

   e.l.f. Cosmetics Custom Eyeshadow - Wisteria

This eyeshadow is only one dollar, which is pretty great, but I genuinely a good eyeshadow. I find it to be creamy and smooth, and not chalky. This purple is actually pigmented too! This eyeshadow is a win-win type of situation.

Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in Orchid Hush

First off, this color is very flattering on the face (I know it may be scary to put purple blush onto your face). I love the formula and texture of the product as well!

One Direction Office Depot Nail Polish Set (Niall-Confident)

I found this set about a year ago on the Office Depot Website, but you might be able to find this set on Amazon. BTW I use this whole set all the time, I love it. I am specifically focusing on Niall's nail polish in Confident. This is such a nice deep, but yet vibrant, raspberry purple type of shade. I just adore it!

Julie G Nail Polish in Butterflies and Rosebuds

BUTTERFLIES AND ROSEBUDS

This color is literally perfection. It is such a beautiful deep purple berry shade. The formula is amazing and it looks so nice on the nails too!

Zoya Nail Polish in Odette

Fun fact about this nail polish is that I received this in an Ipsy Bag. Great job, Ipsy! This is a dusty rose/lilac type of color. It is beautiful on the nails, fast drying, and long wearing. It is amazing!

Sephora Lip Cream in Everlasting Burgundy

This is by far the best lips stain I have ever tried. It goes on like a high-pigment lipgloss and after about a minute, it looks like a matte lipstick. Did I mention that I stays on through eating, drinking, and talking? Well, it does. This shade is a deep dark vampy purple shade and it is extremely gorgeous.

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Black Cherry.

This dark vampy berry purple shade is gorgeous. If you ever want to make a statement with your lips for fall, you need this! For a little bit more of a natural look, try sheering it out with you finger.

Collection Little Mix Lipstick in Perrie

This is my holy grail purple lipstick. I just cannot live without it. It is the most beautiful vibrant purple lipstick. Also, if you are a fan of Little Mix (British Girl Group) then you will love this even more!

I hope you all are excited to see more of this series. Maybe around Halloween I will do orange, then around Christmas I will do red. I just can't wait to continue this series.

Thanks for reading!

FAKE UP CONCEALER REVIEW 


Hi Everyone! Today I am going to do a review on a concealer that I have been really enjoying! Fake Up By Benefit has slowly been climbing to the top of my concealer favorites. This concealer is best used under the eyes because it has a yellow undertone to cancel out any dark that you may have because more yellow based products will get rid of any purple you have on the skin. Also, if you have dry under eyes, this concealer has a moisturizing stick that raps around the concealer itself. One con that I have found is that it can set into the dehydration lines I have under my eyes and it begins to crease. However, this problem can be resolved by using a setting powder like this one Click this for Laura Mercier Secret Brighting Powder! Or you can use any other powder you have in your collection! Overall, I really enjoy myself when I am using this concealer and recommend it to everyone except those who have oily skin because it would be to moisturizing and greasy. I hope you guys found this post helpful and enjoyed it! Thanks for reading!
