#FOTD and mini review: valentine's day makeup look

Happy Valentine's Day! This is a day that is all about love...and chocolate. However you are celebrating, my hope is that you will have a wonderful time enjoying all of the holiday festivities. Maybe someone you care about will send flowers to you at work or maybe a friend will give you a sweet card. Or perhaps you will treat yourself to a nice meal and your favourite movie. There are so many ways to share love today. Be sure to shower yourself and others with love and kindness. I always love to celebrate Valentine's Day with some themed makeup. On that note, here is a #FOTD and a mini lipstick review. 

Mini Review: Oulac Infinity Moisture Shine Lipstick in Sparkle Sensation. This lipstick is from a brand that I had not heard of previously. Based on a review of their website, Oulac Cosmetics seems to offer a lot of really dazzling beauty items. I was gifted this sparkly pink lipstick over the holidays and immediately knew it would be ideally suited to a Valentine's Day makeup look. When applied, the Sparkle Sensation lipstick is just as sparkly and fabulous as it appears to be in the tube. This is one of the most unique lip products that I have tried. The finish is gorgeous and it is shockingly comfortable to wear. Whenever I am looking to make a statement with my lipstick, this will be the one to reach for. Want to see it in action? Here is my Valentine's Day inspired makeup look. This #FOTD is all about bright pink colours and a contrast between matte and shimmer.

To create the #FOTD above, there were a handful of products used. On the eyes was the Grease x Revolution eyeshadow palette in It's The Word. That eyeshadow palette has a lot of really beautiful colours, including some matte pink shadows. I started by applying the matte white on the inner portion of the lid, then then medium pink on the rest, and the deeper matte pink shadow through the crease. The deeper matte pink shadow was also applied along the lower lash line. On the cheeks was the Grease x Revolution Rizzo Cream Blush. Then the Oulac Cosmetics glittery lipstick was worn on the lips. I love the matte eye look and the way it contrasts with all of that sparkle and shine on the lips. (I mean, how incredible is that glittery lipstick? I am obsessed with the finish.) All in all, this was a really fun makeup look to create - and is definitely well suited to the holiday. 

How will you celebrate Valentine's Day this year? What do you think of this sparkly lipstick?
