Top Two: Red Lipsticks for the Holidays -Blogmas Day 9-

This is a very specific Top Two, because I'm going to focus on "Holiday red" lipsticks. To me, the perfect red lip for this time of the year is a bright, true red that stands out and matches all of your Christmas decor!

My two picks are both very similar: they're bright, they're creamy, and they're totally fun. For my drugstore pick, I have CoverGirl's Hot Passion, and my high end is Urban Decay's Ms. Mia Wallace.

Top Two: Liquid Liners -Blogmas Day 4-

I'll be perfectly honest and tell you that I'm not a fan of using liquid eyeliner, but I love the bold effect it gives makeup looks (especially paired with a bold lipstick...*swoon*). A lot of my friends aren't very particular with their every day picks because no matter what they use it looks fabulous. I, on the other hand, get my face right up to the mirror and take my time lining up upper lash line...and it still comes out uneven. As a result, I am very particular with what I use. So, today, I'm going to continue my Top Two series and talk about my top picks: the Jordana Fabuliner and the Stila Stay All Day Liquid Liner.

A lot of the times, my high end favorite slightly edges out my drugstore one. In this case, I would much rather use my Jordana Fabuliner over anything--including the wildly popular Stila version.

Top Two: Bronzers

So I think I'm going to make this series the sort of thing where I pick my current favorite high-end and drugstore picks of a specific product and post the reviews together, so if you want to indulge in a luxury product, there's a review for you, but there's also an inexpensive option for those who don't necessarily love to shell out $25 dollars for a mascara. So I'm going to start with something I either use religiously or neglect entirely: bronzer.

I'll admit it: my drugstore bronzer of choice, which is the NYC Smooth Skin Bronzer in Sunny, is a little basic. But while I found my high-end pick, the Honey Bronzer from The Body Shop in color number three, from a vlogger, I haven't heard too many people talk about it.
