If you've ever wondered about orange lip colors (or maybe you're already in love) we've tested out four orange-hues from some of our favorite cosmetic companies.

1. Milani Color Perfect Lipstick in Mango Mambo: A coral-red meets red-orange lip color that is perfect if you're trying orange hues for the first time, or if you have ANY coral-red hanging in your closet.

2. Milani Color Perfect Lipstick in Mandarina: Classic orange with a hint of red, this color will fit perfectly in your lipstick collection and pairs well with the ongoing tropical prints trend.

3. Urban Decay Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Color in Punch Drunk: Creamy and by far the orange-iest of the looks we tried, this color is a high-powered, dramatic, and very urban indeed.

4. Pixi Lip Blush in Energy: A long-lasting lip stain that is sort of peachy and has a delicate shimmer. This color is great for you minimalists out there, and pairs well with pastels.

Urban Decay is one of my favorite brands and has been for years! When you are looking for top quality shadows that are pigmented in beautiful shades, Urban Decay is one of the best options! Always coming out with the perfect new palettes and gift sets, they really got my attention with the new set Roller Girl! Always the fan of 70's nostalgia, I found Roller Girl to be perfectly packaged and filled with the best selection of goodies! Take a look below for some pics and more info!

Packed with four sultry and sweet shades, this palette will be able to take you from day to night easily. "Suspect" is a great shade to use all over the eyelid. Use "Darkhorse" in the crease and "Verve" on the brow bone to give some shimmer and highlight. "Woodstock" is your wild card in this group! Use it in the outer corner of the eye to create a pop of color! You can use a small amount or really layer it on for impact!

Complete with a perfect brown 24/7 Eye Pencil in "Whiskey" and a shimmering pink Lip Junkie Lipgloss! This is the perfect palette to toss in your purse or beachbag for quick touch ups before a night on the town or after a day of fun in the sun! Make sure to head over to Urban Decay for this palette and more!

Holiday Makeup Madness

Get ready ladies because Holiday 2010 is around the corner!

When it's time to give those gifts, your favorite makeup companies are on top of it, with to die for pallets. These perfectly packaged sets often sell out and reach collectible status so you have to snatch them up right away!

Not only are they creatively packaged but they also offer great value. They will last you far past this winter considering you get so much for your money! Giving gifts is grand but don't forget about yourself little beauty queens! No matter how perfect your holiday outfit from LuLu*s is, your look will not be complete without the right makeup. Get your glitter, get your gloss and get your glam on with my favorite pallets and sets shown below!

This is a great first example. Behold, Urban Decays Book Of Shadows Vol III. Inspired by the big city lights of New York, contains 16 eyeshadows, 2 of their fantastic 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils and an Eyeshadow Primer Potion in a portable travel size. The packaging even lights up, people! Full New York City glam from the skyscrapers to the Statue of Liberty. Here in the LuLu*s photo room, Urban Decay is a brand that I use on our lovely models every time. Pair this lovely pallet with our Ink-quins Sequin Party Dress. You will sparkle and shimmer all night long!

Stila's Lip Glaze is one of my top lipgloss picks. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a sample of their Grapefruit Lip Glaze many years ago and man did they make a lifer out of me! I still hold it high as my top pick for girly, understated pink. Its not too tacky or sticky and people always ask what color I am wearing. Pick up this set of 4 exclusive Holiday shades and 4 permanent faves. Paired with our Showmance Champagne Strapless Dress. You will be pretty in pink in this combination!

My final pick is this luscious array of polishes. Sephora and OPI teamed up to create this set of 18 mini nail polishes in shades from girly to glam, edgy to office appropriate. Any manicure lover knows the value of a good polish and OPI never dissapoints. This $81 value is a bargain basement price of $48. Seriously, it will take forever to go through 18 polishes! You can mix all 18 with our amazing Set the Tone Striped Dress. This versatile piece can be worn as many ways as these many polishes!

Whatever your Holiday plans are remember to stay glamorous! XOXO

Urban Decay in Fabulous Shades

This weekend I discovered a marvelous eye shadow that I can't help but tell everyone about, almost to the point of annoyance. I've already called my sister twice telling her how much I like the Urban Decacy Ammo Eyeshadow.

"Sis," I said. "The color matching has a great egde to it by covering well with a great shimmer."

"I know," my sister huffs over the phone, "I was the one who bought it ... now give it back!"

Oops! Sorry, little sis, but I'm keeping this one.
