Good Cyber Monday to you!!

Did any of you guys brave the long lines for Black Friday??  I watched the madness on TV!! I just think that shopping is an online phenom now.  I just couldn’t tear myself away from the couch!! LOL!

I recently reviewed and recommended the Black Dahlia Lip Tar from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics.  So for all of you who bought it, here’s a LOTD to show the versatility of this oxblood lip colour!

OCC Black Dahlia with M.A.C. Nightmoth Lip Pencil

So I used a dark wine lip pencil, Nightmoth from M.A.C., and lined my lips.  I then used a lip brush and applied a DROP of Black Dahlia on my lips.  I actually a used a few layers to get the deepest colour.  It dried to a shiny finish that was mostly opaque and not sticky.

This very bold and deep! Love it!  I paired it with a neutral eye shadow, winged liner and a light application of plum blush.
