Fanfare

Hey lovelies!

Today we're talking lipstick. You may or may not know this about me but when it comes to lipstick, I usually reach for nudes, peaches, and light pinks. I think these colors compliment my skin tone the most and more importantly I feel very comfortable wearing them. I do own brighter lipsticks such as MAC's Vegas Volt, Impassioned and Revlon's Carnation. I love these colors but often feel self-conscious and out of my comfort zone wearing them. Call me crazy but in the rare occasions I wear these out, I feel like people are staring at me. lol Most lipsticks are pretty adjustable, we all know that if you want a brighter lip apply it full force, if you want a hint of color then use a light hand. I've been looking for a color right in between that I can just apply and not think about so much. Something that's obvious but not too over the top, also something versatile. I think Fanfare is just it. I don't know what to quite call this color, it definitely falls in the pink category. Coral-y pink perhaps?

Natural Light
I love it because...
It brightens up my face
Looks beautiful with green eyes (as in my green contacts :)) and brings them out
Versatility; come summer or winter, Fanfare will work! Can be paired with many different types of eye make-up; grays, browns, neutrals or even just mascara and eyeliner
Cremesheen formula is very moisturizing, applies like a dream, has a glossy finish and provides medium to full coverage
Color pay-off & pigmentation

With Flash

Before swatches and even before comparing them side by side in the tubes I thought Fanfare looked a lot like NYX's Tea Rose. They actually don't! I just wanted to swatch them both so you can see the difference between the two.

It's love!
 
Fanfare will surely be a staple in my lipstick collection. Such a shame that it's so underrated!

  3. I totally agree with you! I hate the feeling of thinking everyone is looking at me when wearing bright lippies. Fanfare looks amazing against your skintone.

    PS. LOVEEEE your new bangs :)

    PSS. Did you spend all day applying this lipstick in front of a mirror?!?! ;)

  10. I can't get into lipstick! I always stick with a gloss. I don't know what it is, maybe the feel, of lipstick but I hate it. Have any favorite glosses?

  11. Very nice indeed! BTW - did you cut your bangs? If so, looks nice!

    Thx for the comment, yeahhhh...Dolce's not feeling good. Today was a bad day also. =( It sucks-I get depressed seeing her not feeling good-that's why I haven't been posting/blogging/vlogging much lately! Besides the fact that we have to give her so much medicine, shots, and dialysis. ugghh

    ANYWAYS...I love this lipstick! And it looks fab on you!! =)

  12. I've never heard of Fanfare...why?? It looks gorgeous on you! I actually have Tea Rose and while they're similar, Fanfare is prettier in my opinion so that means I need it now. I love that photo of you...I can't really tell but it looks like your hair is doing something really pretty and I like it :)

  15. @Blushingloves, thanks hun! There is definitely something about this lipstick, love how it makes my face brighter :)
    @ Hell Notes for Beauty, thank you! I’m glad I finally bought a lipstick not because ‘I heard good things about it’ but because it really works for me! :)
    @ Obsessed.Makeup.Addict, Ohhh I so knew you’d agree! Thanks lovey!
    PS. It took a while to get used to them lol but overall I like them.
    PSS. Ummm hell yeah I did! Hahaha! :p
    @ augustalolita, you will look gorgeous with this lipstick and with dark hair, thanks so much for your sweet comment :)
    @ Princess Feef, Yep it is! Nobody talks about it though, I think it’s beautiful and so underrated. I know you love crazy colored lippies and believe me you look VERY gorgeous with them. I guess I can make them work too but I just don’t feel too comfortable wearing them lol
    @ ChunLi Beauty, cok merci sekercim o senin guzelligin. Bu renk sendede guzel durur bak, sari sac+yesil goz+fanfare=fistik! :)
    @ Amira, You and I both hun! I guess it’s a matter of feeling comfortable wearing it. Thanks so much! ;)
    @ Darling heart, Thank you girlie! I bought them because they look pretty. I mean Vegas Volt is still doable for me, I bought it knowing I’ll wear them. I bought Impassioned years ago because at the time I thought it was a beautiful color. And it really is! I just can’t really wear it so much :/ Pick up Fanfare, it is a very pretty color and makes you feel at ease while wearing color :)
    @ Rainy Days and Lattes, thanks so much! :)
    @ LindseyLove, really? I love lipstick. Perhaps you haven’t found the perfect shades for you? These days with youtube and blogs, it’s really easy to fall for a color because so and so talked about how much they love it. I’m sure there are some lipsticks that will compliment you very prettily :) I do love lipglosses too though. Some of my favorites are, MAC’s BoyBait, Underage, Revlon’s Coral Reef, NYX’s LaLa…
    @ NYCShopaholic, thanks lady! Yes I did. At first I thought I made a huge mistake and it took me a while to get used to them. It’s a matter of time I guess. Now I really like them :) I’m praying that she’ll be right back to being the cute little pooch that she is! She’s adorable and deserves to be healthy! :)
    @ WillWorkForMakeup, Nobody talks about it, that’s why! :) Check it out next time you head to MAC ;) Tea Rose is pretty on it’s own way too but I love the texture of Fanfare much more. Thanks so much for being so sweet all the time! :) I did cut my bangs and trying to figure out some different ways to style them and this was one of them. I like how they look so I guess I’ll stick to styling them this way :)
    @ Rakhshanda, thanks a lot hun! :)
    @ Rianna Bethany, good to know there are more of us who are obsessed lol I thought I was crazy! I’m totally with you, I carry more lipsticks with me than I ever need lol
