    That Viva Glam Gaga 2 looks great on you! I've been a little hesitant about getting it, but now seeing your pic has convinced me I can rock it too!

    I have mixed feelings about Gaga 2: On its own, its way too light and ashy on me, but with chestnut lip pencil added I really like the finished result. However its a bit of work to get the 2 blended together just right. Why is it so hard to find a flattering nude lippie :(

    Thanks Ladies!

    @Ms Viva Glam, I love Sweet & Punchy, but it seems like I always forget about it, only to happily discover it again a few months later, lol.

    @CocoagirlD, I think you'll like the Pixiwoo brushes, they're really, really soft and do a great job. Plus the price means you can get the whole set without bankrupting yourself, lol.

    @Shahada, I used the Gaga 2 lipstick. I would have used the gloss but I was in a rush and it was lost in the bottomless pit that is my purse :)

    Thanks everyone!

    @Bostonian, a few years ago I would've never used brighter colors, but I find the more I step out of my comfort zone, the more confidence I have.

    You should give some other colors a try and see how you like it. If you don't, you can always wash it off and start again!

    I have yet to try a bold yellow look like this, but I think I may have to. It looks lovely.
