Ann's Top Ten: Lip Colors

MWAH! I, Ann Louise am a hoarder of two things
1) Magazines. I seriously have 74 (last count was three months ago) fashion magazines in a box inside of my closet. In addition, I have subscriptions to Seventeen, Nylon, and Teen Vogue even though I collect Glamour, regular Vogue and trashy gossip magazines.
2) Lip colors I love lipstick and carry three lip glosses everywhere I go. I will buy lip coloring depending on, texture, color, and scent. I probably have more lip stick than Sephora.
With my love of lipsticks, I give you Ann's Top Ten: Lip Colors! In which I show you my top ten favorite lip products! Enjoy!

10. Super Gloss "Bubblegum"
Bubblegum Lip gloss
This lip gloss is cute and girly which of course, I can't have enough of that! Not to mention how delicious this gloss smells! The texture is not too runny but isn't so tough that it feels as though your lips are stretching to spread it. The color gives off a glossy, casual, look which is perfect for just a casual everyday outfit.
Where to find: Drugstore 
9. Lip slicks "Princess"
Princess Lip slick
Lipslicks perfect for they can help out those awful chapped lips and give off a gorgeous color! I like this color for it is noticeable it is not so dramatic that you have to dress up to make the makeup work. I carry a lip slick almost everywhere I go just in case I need a little swipe of lipstick anywhere. Also think of the name: this color makes me feel like a modern day princess.
Where to Find: Drugstores
Frappuccino
8. Ruby Kisses Jellilicious "Caramel  Frappuccino"
One of my biggest judging methods with lip colors is the scent. If I love the fragrance a lip gloss gives off, then I absolutely love having it on my lips and under my nose all day. This texture is perfect for leaving on my lips all day and giving a quick swipe without having a too hard time spreading. The color is also very unique and has a hint of creme color  in it that you can't seem to find without going full on nude. Also, the gloss is perfect for a more girly look!
Rasberry Splash
Where to Find: Drugstores
7. Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers "Raspberry Splash"
I originally bought a grape flavored Weslick Fruit Spritzer and loved it so much that I just had to buy the raspberry one! I prefer Rasberry Splash for its mouth watering scent and gorgeous color. This color is more juicer than my other lip glosses which gives off a summer vibe and goes with a light weight sun dress or a pair of shorts.
Blueberry Muffin
Where to find: Drugstores


6. Love and Beauty "Blueberry Muffin"
This scent is heavenly. Even though the pastry fragrance makes me seriously crave a blueberry muffin whenever I wear this gloss, I absolutely love it! The color is light and a little musty which does well in about every season even though my best outfit has been a long brown coat, a white button down, and a pair of khaki colored pants. I looked like a feminine version of a British school boy and loved it.
Where to Find: Forever 21
Pinch Me Pink
5. Lily Cola Lip and Cheek Dome "Pinch Me Pink"
What a cute color! The name ties in with this lipstick for it resembles the blushy pink your skin turns after being pinched. Not only can this make your lips a girly pink, but also stains your cheeks! Two in one! The unique dome shape that contains the lip coloring is a perfect container that many other lipsticks adopt. Oh my God and the texture is perfect! I don't mean to sound weird but I could swipe that dome across my lips and cheeks all day it feels amazing and creamy. OK that sounded a little strange...
Where to find: The Body Shop
4. Love and Beauty Hint Of Color "Strawberry"
Strawberry
I just bought this lip gloss and I already love it! My favorite lip gloss flavor would have to be strawberry and out of the thousands and thousands of this flavor this gloss is one of my favorites. Just as the tube says, it is a hint of color instead of being all too much pink. The shade blends in with my own lip color and has a sweet glossy glow that can own any outfit.
Where to Find: Forever 21
3. MAC "Blossom" 
Blossom
WOAH! What a bright color! My favorite color being hot pink, this is perfect for me. I don't usually wear this color to casual places such as school but if you check back to my bat mitzvah sign in board photos you'll recognize that bursting hot pink!
Where to find: Drugstores


2. Clinique "Shy"
Shy
Even though the name of this lip color is "Shy" it is a rather dramatic look. This coloring is unique in the way that it is both lipstick and gloss. The way to use it is to put the lipstick on first and run a layer of gloss over it. I love the dramatic effect that gives to your lips ad draws a lot of attention to your makeup. The color is darker than most of my lipsticks and glosses and I usually save this one for more formal o
outfits and events.
Where to Find: Clinique Counter
Super Strawberry
1. Clinique Chubby Sticks "Super Strawberry"
And again with the strawberry lip coloring! Chubby sticks are my favorite type of lipsticks in the entire world. To me, these sticks look like those fat crayons you used to draw with in first grade except you are drawing a cute color onto your lips. The one thing that I love most about this lipstick is the fact that you can dress it up and down and wear it any season! T
his color works with everything!

I hope you take my suggestions and if YOU have any, leave them in the comments! I'd love to hear them!

Ann's Top Ten: Music!

So after my last blog post about how music I hate, I decided to do a more positive (yet less entertaining) post about music that I'm absolutely crazy for! So here it my lovelies: Ann's Top Ten: BANDS!
Ann's Top Ten Favorite Singers/Bands
1. All Caps 
All Caps is a techno "nerd" band who basically sing about everything possibly nerdy and every dorky fandom (world of war craft, Harry Potter, Pokemon etc.) The two singers in it included the two famous youtubers Kristina Horner (italktosnakes) and Luke Conard (lukeconard2) 
Favorite Song: Mrs. Nerimon
2. All Time Low
All Time Low is a punk rock band who unlike "All Caps" don't have the same nerdiness to them and therefor less easy to relate to but have songs that have full on emotion and well attitude (that just sounded SO lame). I could mostly just describe their music being PRETTY. FREAKING. AWESOME.
Favorite song: If These Sheets Were The States
3. Alex Day
I love this guy to death. Alex Day is the ever so awesome youtuber nerimon and has the same nerdiness as All Caps while it doesn't show in his music. Alex has a lot of personality though and that is one of the most important things to me besides the lyrics actually making sense (cough cough Jedward) 
Favorite song: A Thousand Hours
4. Ed Sheeran
I really like Ed Sheeran for the fact that he gives me the best stuff to clutch my palm to my heart and say 
"One day I want a boy to sing this to me" but it still has a male appeal and  music that anyone could listen to.
Favorite Song: Small Bump
5. Robyn
The thing I absolutely adore about Robyn is her "get out of my way bitch!" attitude which is probably the best thing to listen to in a song. Most of her tracks if none does she admit defeat to a boy but instead use the fact that he is missing out on her.
Favorite Song: Time Machine
6. Chameleon Circuit 
Does anyone else see the reoccurring theme of a total nerd? Chameleon Circuit is a "Trock" band meaning Time Lord Rock which is a genre dedicated to songs about Dr. Who. The band is made up of Charlie Mcdonall (my favorite youtber: charlieissocoollike), Alex Day (nerimon), Ed Blann, Liam Drydan, and Micheal Aranda who I'm all big fans of
Favorite Song: Kiss the Girl

7. One Direction
Yes Ann LeMonnier actually does listen to One Direction. I am sad to say I haven't been listening to them very much in the past couple months for I've been trying out new bands and have found to enjoy them more. Even though I can't say I'm a directioner, they still made it up there
Favorite Song: Tell Me A Lie
8.  Tom Milson
As much as I'd love to make Tom Milson a top five, I just started listening to him and LOVED it but I'm just not into it enough to say he's a top five favorite singer
Favorite Song: Internet Love Song
9. Seven Minutes In Heaven
 I love seeing Timmy's covers on youtube. The reason he's stuck at number nine is he only has two singles out on Itunes and that doesn't really have enough to make a top five. Even though I must give him points for his cover of All Time Low's "Merry Christmas Kiss My Ass". It was magical.
favorite song: California
10. Ellie Goulding
Ellie Goulding is one of my favorite artists for her music has some sort of mystical and trance like sound to it which is calming and interesting to lisetn to. Her voice is amazing and unique which always helps. 
favorite song: Guns and Horses
Thanks for reading that HUGE post (you probably didn't read the whole thing) Comment your top 10 favorite artists!
