Havent done one in awhile! Thing I'm Loving: NYX Liptstick in Eden

I have been coveting NYX Eden for a lonnnng time! Months!  I quit buying lipstick for awhile, because it was just getting ridiculous, and we're trying to be super responsible with our money, and pay our debt down and make Dave Ramsey proud, and so I laid off the lipstick for awhile.  But, last Friday, the owner of our company sent around a Thanksgiving gift.  Everyone who works there got a Happy Thanksgiving card with $25 cash money in it.  Have I mentioned that my new company/ the owner of said company are really good at thoughtful holiday gifts?  Because, yes. 

I had been invited to a "Favorite Things" party with some of the other football moms on Friday and needed to get gifts for that.  What is a "Favorite Things" party, you ask?  Actually, its a really clever idea:

 

See? Fun, right?  So, where did I go? Ulta, of course.  And I figured, since I was there, I would treat yo' self to a little and finally get the Eden I had been wanting forevvvvvs.

 

 

It's red, ya'll. Like, RED.

 

 

I feel like Jessica Rabbit, which, in case you are curious, is exactly how you should feel in red lipstick.  This particular formula is very, marker like, I guess.  You know that thing where you put some lipstick on and you rub your lips together and it sort of spreads the lipstick out?  That isn't going to happen here.  It stays though, and it is BRIGHT. I am not sure this picture properly conveys it, but this is a classic cherry sort of red.  You cant miss someone wearing this shade.

 

 

The other NYX shade I have is called Snow White and it is way darker, but I am similarly infatuated with it. 

 

 

The Eden is on the left and the Snow White is on the right.  The Eden is a different sub brand of the NYX and it is slight bigger, but also slightly more expensive ($5.99 vs. $3.99.)  I would still consider them both bargain brands, but honestly, they're both fabulous, and I am really impressed with the coverage and staying power they both have.  I really dont think you can go wrong.
