I will confess right away that I'm an Alphaholic. Or as Alpha-H self defines it so beautiful, I've "an in intense and irresistable desire to consume Alpha-H products". Of course I'm an Alphaholic for a good reason, since I faithfully use a number of products by this multi-award winning Australian brand my skin texture is visibly improved.My previous blog post about Alpha-H was about the cult product Liquid Gold and the Micro Cleanse Super Scrub.

No I wasn't done talking about matte lipsticks and just can't resist getting new matte lipsticks again. This time matte lipsticks by the brand Maybelline, a liquid matte lipstick which is available in 10 different colors.

L’Oréal Paris Infallible Matte Max

Luckily for me the matte lip trend keeps going on cause I love it a lot. I think it's so pretty and fortunately more and more matte lipsticks are on the market that don't dry out your lips. That was such a shame in the beginning, a beautiful matte color with a massive dry feeling. Something I couldn't get used to. You can solve that problem by first applying a nourishing balm on your lips, but even better is it when the matte lipstick feels immediately comfortable.Infallible Matte Max.That a good matte lipstick doesn't need to be expensive proves L'Oréal Paris with ...
