Thanks, @heartsmyface  red is one of those shades that I find so intimidating!  

[heartsmyface]

@missjeanie   But it’s supposed to put you in the power position and intimidate OTHER people 😜

[missjeanie]

Ha ha... I like that @heartsmyface !  It'll work so long as I can keep it on my lips and off the rest of my face lol!

[heartsmyface]

@missjeanie  I wonder if blotting with a translucent  powder would help with the transfer issue..

[Saradestin]

Stunning @missjeanie!! So beautiful! ❤️ All those products look amazing on you! 

[missjeanie]

Thanks @Saradestin I was so excited to get my box before I started in on my make-up this morning!

@missjeanie Great pictures! I like how we can see all of the opened products. Your hairstyle and your lip look go well together!

[missjeanie]

Thanks @Mellmars1185 It's my quasi pin-up hair do lol! I felt like it went with a bright lip!

[heartsmyface]

@TeamBIC   Thank you and to GXVE cosmetics for the opportunity to try their new brand!  I had to dig in right away and try a few things out!  
First thing, the packaging!  It’s beautifully simple and recyclable but has wonderful bandana inspired artwork on the inside for an extra splash of joy!  I love packaging with surprise details!  You can tell a lot of love went into the designing of this brand.  

The Original Recipe lipsticks are lovely and each unique in their own way.  I’m currently trying out the liquid lipstick ‘I’m Still Here’ on my lips.  It’s warmer than the bullet shades and although a classic red has a slight orange tinge to it.  Upon first swatches I can tell Anahem Shine is my favorite formula with its satin finish.  It is more blue pink leaning when sheered out.  Original Me is also a velvety matte blue red which leaves a stain. 

The brow products are both lovely!  I can make convincing individual hairs easily with these as the formula is the perfect dry consistency to do so!  

I can’t wait to try out everything more thoroughly and report back!

[niki172]

So pretty @heartsmyface you look like one of those chic undercover lady spies in one of those movies from the late 80's/early 90's with that gorgeous red lip and that hair - so fabulous and effortlessly gorgeous!

[AlexBT]

@heartsmyface gorgeous!! the brow pencils look nice -- i hope i can make my hair strokes as convincing as yours!

[heartsmyface]

@AlexBT light flicks in the direction of your hair growth;) You got this!  The pencils do most of the work cause the tips are sharp.  

[Buootiful]

There was no doubt this would look gorgeous on you @heartsmyface ! ❤️ Pun not intended, it was my 1st thought, lol.

[heartsmyface]

@Buootiful 😜I see what you did there!   Haha, the wording was subconsciously placed.  You couldn’t help it;) 

[CookieGirl1]
