Lipstick Mania! My Top 5 Favorites

There are a lot of things in this world I favor; pastries, fashion, and the list goes on, but if there's one thing in this world I favor the most, it is lipstick.
I am a total lipstick nut and I feel lipstick is a way for me to reflect my mood and personality, and it is also something that really pulls a look together.

I have compiled a list of my Top 5 Favorite Lipsticks/ Lip Products
Here they are in no particular order:

 YSL Rogue Pur Couture (06) Rose Bergamasque

This lipstick is the perfect shade of nude for me, it has a pinkish peachish touch to it that makes it subtle but also noticeable. Since I've bought it, I have worn it everywhere. It's the perfect lipstick for any-time of day and outfit.

 Urban Decay Super- Saturated High Gloss Lip Color in F-BOMB

I wear a lot and I mean A LOT of red lipstick. Of all the red lipsticks I wear, F-BOMB is definitely my favorite because it is long lasting and it is a perfect shade of Red, not too bright and not too dark.
I came across this lipstick when I was in Sephora and was looking at The OZ Great And Powerful makeup compact that Urban Decay came out with. In the Theodora compact there was a red super-saturated lip color that I loved but Sephora didn't sell separately, so I compared that red to other reds and F-BOMB was almost an exact match.

 CoverGirl (325) Spellbound

Every time I look at this lipstick I ask myself  "Why did you even buy this shade, it's purple for crying out loud", then I put it on and I'm like "Oh Yeah, that's why. It's a gorgeous shade!".
This lipstick is definitely for daredevils, It's the perfect pinkish purple shade and I absolutely love wearing this whenever I'm in a daring mood and it is also the perfect summer shade.

 Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede (035) Backstage

When I bought this lipstick I seen the advertisement with Olivia Wilde wearing this shade and I thought "OMG I need that color!" This lipstick makes me a very happy woman, it is a matte lipstick, but do not let the shade of the actual color stick fool you. This shade is a dark red, and I am not kidding. But I really love this color because I wear a lot of whites and this color looks absolutely perfect contrasting with the whites.

Urban Decay Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Color in Glinda

I bought this lipstick in the Urban Decay The Oz Great And Powerful compact. As you can tell I have worn this shade down quite a bit. This color is definitely a pinkish muave color. This color is such a simple color and I wear it really all the time any time of the day.

(Little I.E- The Super-Saturated Lip Colors are ultra glossy, but the longer you wear the color it turns into the perfect matte color. These colors are highly pigmented especially the red that is also in this post. These lippies are great because you can also sharpen them. I highly recommend these!)

My Cameras Country Expedition

Hello everybody! It has been a few days since I've seen the face of the internet. This week has been busy.... from getting everything arranged for uni to technicians replacing our old internet to being out of town for the majority of this week.

Remember how I was telling you guys in my last post about buying my new camera? Well I did!
I bought my new camera literally yesterday and I'm still trying to work on it and figure out all the new features on it, but all day today I was just messing with my camera around my house and took some pictures.

 Basically these photos are just testers because I was trying to figure out my new lenses and such, but I couldn't do much more than nature shots because it was raining and I live in the country.... and there's not much along the lines of exciting when it comes to the dull country life.

I've decided that each week I will post all the pictures I have taken throughout the week and stick them on my blog every Sunday (The end of the week). I can already tell this is going to be cool :D

(Little side note: It was icky outside today... rain, grey skies, and all, so the lighting on the photos were not all that great... still don't know how to fix the lighting in my setting just yet)

Sexy Sirens And Dark Spell Casters

Okay, I am super excited for this post because it is not only a book talk post, but also a fashion post.... say whaaa?!

 

Yeah, that's what I said.

 

Today I watched Beautiful Creatures, which was inspired by the book Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl. I have not read any part of the Beautiful Creatures series yet, but I did buy the book long before there was even discussion of a movie. I have no clue why I haven't read this series yet and I am a complete idiot for not doing so, but when I bought it, it made its way right into the stack of books that hang out on my coffee table (Is there a name for that?), which I refer to as "decorations".

 

The movie was quite amazing, but I have heard that the movie does not correlate with the book a lot, which kinda makes me sad, but that makes me all the more excited to read the book and get more insight on the actual storyline.

 

Here is the book with the original cover, which is beautiful I might add and looks better than the movie cover in my opinion. Its got this eerie look to it, which I believe really shows off the book.

 

 





Now here's the part where I get really excited. During this movie I could not take my eyes off Emmy Rossum, who played Ridley in the movie. She plays a Siren with hands down the best outfits!

Here are a couple photos to show you her gorgeous wardrobe during this film.

 

Now here is my most favorite dress by far that she rocked in the movie

 

 

 

I can't explain how gorgeous this dress is, and I think it's because it is such a dark look, but its ultra feminine and sexy with the lace work.

 

Another thing I loved about Emmy Rossum in this movie is her hair! It was this beautiful shade of red and at first it was this sleek super short cut then at other times it was beautifully long with luscious curls.

 

I think the reason I liked the movie so much was because of Emmy... 100% serious.

Waiting On Wednesdays: In The After (Demitria Lunetta)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine and spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

 

I am so thrilled because In The After by Demitria Lunetta is coming out June 25, 2013 which is 5 days from now! I have heard soooo much talk about this book from Tea Time with Epic Reads to many book blogs and vlogs.

This is Demitria's debut book and it is about a girl named Amy who must navigate a world taken over by things devouring mankind. Its an epic journey where Amy is in life or death situations and just when she thinks she has been rescued by this colony, she discovers that if she stays, death may come her way. 

I don't know about you, but I always love a great read that deals with the ending of mankind and major suspense and action.

And to show my excitement for this book I shall provide an epic countdown!

I'm Dauntless, How 'Bout You?

Guess what?!
First blog post for Yasmine Brooke
*Happy Dances*

Now that that is over, let me share some exciting stuff with you. Yours and my definition of exciting may or may not be totally different and off the scales, but what the heck right?!

A lot of people have been telling me about a book called Divergent by Veronica Roth (Who also has a blogspot HERE ), which also has a sequel so far named Insurgent. When Divergent was born, I kept running into it at the library or the book store and it just did not appeal to me. Let time go on a little and the walls of appeal crumbled and I went and got not only Divergent, but also Insurgent. If I was going to get into this book then I'm going to get into it 100%.

Long story short... I ripped through the first book in 2 days... it was that good. Just today I have begun the 2nd book, which Ive only gotten to chapter 6, but once again I am hooked.

I won't spill you the summary of what this book is about because if you have not heard about it yet than I highly suggest you get your butt up and go lot it out or buy it at your local bookstore (That sounded advertisey... smashing)



























The cool part about Divergent is that it is being made into a movie!!!! But here comes another whirlwind for you... Entertainment Weekly showed a glimpse of Four, who's a main character in the book, being played by none other than Theo James... I hear heart palpitations in the far distance... Anyways if you want to check that article out it is HERE . (Also there are many other photos that have been reveiled which you can finding floating around the internet).

Veronica Roth announced the date in which the third installation of this series will hit book shelves, which is October 22, 2013, and it is going to be called Allegiant.

All the covers are really beautiful and become even more meaningful when you read the book, because everything on the cover represents something in the story (How freakin cool!).
 Also in my little side bar on my blog I am going to put the countdown for its release there, can you see my excitement?

Last but not least, Veronica posted on her blog that there are going to be Four Divergent e-shorts, which will evolve around Four.... Did you see what she did there huh... HUH?! The post which goes into detail is right HERE.

This is my first blog post and I didn't know if doing some sort of book review on this series so far was a good idea or bad, but I had to vent. Let this post be of some kind of help as of telling you a part of who I am, like an introduction. Anyways, I hope my ranting has led you to a bookstore where these amazing books are waiting for you, and to those who have already read it, let's discuss! I want to know your thoughts on the books!
