Day 3: Sephora Collection's Mandarin Muse (10) Note: Whoopsiiii...I had to update this post to correct the name which was mixed up with the post AFTER this one **le sigh** Back down memory lane with this one!! When lip stains dropped on the market, Sephora was ON IT and totally knocked it out the park. Back when MAC was dominating the scene, Sephora Collection became a good contender in the game and silent killer in my opinion. These cream lip stains are what they say they are annnnd I have more in the stash becuz they're just that reliable. This lip stain is RICH. You can get the full color with the slightest swipe and dries down QUICK! Unfortunately, since it hadn't been used in soooo long and the top was not tightly on...this sorta kinda dried out on me. I was able to get enuff to use today but I know I need a fresh tube. I can confidently say...I WILL use this again! It's THE red you MUST have to reach for on not just special occasions but everyday-ness! This was a cozy rainy day to be inside (hence the robe couture) but I still feel spruced up wearing this gorgeous red.

Day 4: Sephora Collection Always Red (01) So BOOM check it...if you were here yesterday, ur prolly thinking...wait...she wore this yesterday! I promise u ur not stuck in time and today IS Friday. Last night while I was looking for my next #RedLippie I came across this shade n thought hmm...this is REALLY red n quickly realized... Yesterday I had totally worn Mandarin Muse (10) thinking it was Always Red (01) and I will be editing the previous post to reflect such, nonetheless...the review still stands as far as the quality n wear of it all. Sephora's lip stain collection is pretty consistent with being long-lasting and fully pigmented with little effort. Unfortunately, Mandarin Muse is no longer available which sucks cuz I was definitely gonna get a fresh bottle. But this Always Red... This is by far THE classic red shade that looks beautiful on EVERYONE! Like I've never not seen someone gorgeous in this shade. I would look at this like a default red. I feel like a lady in this one and it's the red that goes with EVERYTHING! You just can't go wrong with this one. I have a few shades that are in this ballpark but they're not stains. I purposely leave it on even as I lounge around the house to test the wear on it but it also does something to my ego as I feel amazing doing nothing on the couch haha!! What do ya think?? Is there a classic red u can't go wrong with? Note: On the weekends I'll pause my postings and resume for the Weekend Wrap Up to include my #RedLipsOfLove

As I round up the month, I raise one last cup this weekend— a farewell brew to a season that stretched I've been enjoying living my life offline this month but with losing two brothers in one month; I'm freefalling The brews may have been plentiful, but it’s the pauses between them that will linger longest.
