The Colors of the Rainbow Tag is a cute little idea I saw pop up in my reader feed. The premise of the tag is to pick a favorite beauty or fashion item for each color of the rainbow. I'm not sure where it originated from, maybe youtube? I haven't watched a beauty community video there in ages so call me clueless. As I was shuffling through my stash for the color spectrum the boy was making a comment about how we're "basically just goth teenagers"...that as I was pining over the new Nine Inch Nails record and all the rock shows i wanted to attend this summer I thought...maybe I'm more metal and darkside than cupcakes and rainbow's..so I turned my version in to The
BLACK RAINBOW. My favorite's in Black. I also did the original tag too :)

RED - No surprise here, Red Lipstick. I couldn't choose between my 3 well loved MAC Red's:
Ruby Woo
,
Russian Red
, and
Lady Danger
.
ORANGE -
NYX Lip Pencil in Orange. Finding a truly orange lip pencil has been almost impossible, problem solved with this one from NYX. It's the perfect orange, not a hint of coral or pink in sight.
HOT PINK - There's many hot pink's that are dear to me but I wanted to share one I haven't blogged about before,
Urban Decay Super Saturated Lip Color in Crush. UD is probably most known for eye product's but their Lip offering's deserve just as much praise. Crush is a sick as hell bright hot pink. The medium pencil applicator makes it so easy to do a bright lip on the go. It applies so smooth and color rich that you really only need a couple passes to get full coverage. It may look like your average glossy balm pencil, but this one is packing serious long-wearing intense color.
LIGHT PINK -
Illamasqua Blush in Katie. Katie is a delicate light candy pink sans shimmer that looks lovely on pale complexions. Illamasqua makes supreme blushes no matter what shade you choose.
YELLOW - MAC Chromacake in Yellow. I'm not sure if chromacakes are still available at mac pro, but I love the ones I have. They're huge! and make excellent bases, for use on the body, and as graphic eyeliner.
INDIGO - Revlon Nail Polish in Indigo Nights. I don't stray from my mainstay's of red, pink, and black too often but this creamy deep cobalt shade is pretty nifty.
BLUE - This is your hair on
CRACK!
! A habit forming hair fix that's one of the most effective product's in my styling routine. I apply this leave in conditioning cream just to the ends of my hair and it combats frizz and holds up to humidity. My ends are dry from all the torture i put my hair through, the moisturizing Acai extract and silk protein bonds to them making them look not so destroyed. It's also UV and heat protective.
GREEN - Green is one that stumped me. I was about to roll out with a day-glo green eyeshadow and realized I'll never wear green eyeshadow again in my life so that doesn't qualify as a favorite. In all honesty I wasn't impressed by the Macadamia Natural Oil Hair Line, except for this one product. The
Deep Repair Masque 
, it does wonderful things to your locks. My hair feels so soft and hydrated after I use this and it smells soooo good. I wish I could find an everyday conditioner that works this well.
VIOLET -
LIT Cosmetics Twisted Sistah Glittah. Lit makes the best cosmetic glitters in a ton of different colors and cut variation's from ultra fine to thick. If you want sparkle that stays put, don't be with out the glitter adhesive, it's bulletproof.
PURPLE: Another color I had a hard time with because I'm allergic to purple eye makeup, but I will suffer for the cult classic Make Up Forever #92 eyeshadow.
MULTI-COLOR - Finally all the shade's of the rainbow goes to the
Anastasia of Beverly Hills HYPERCOLOR Range. These powder's (
reviewed here) are an exciting way to spice up your hair color (and really feel like a goth teenager again!) and the
colored mascara lash tint's are just as vibrant on the lashes as they are in the tube. Anastasia has also just released 3 new colors of hair powder's Seen on the far right: Lola-Lilac, Red-licious, and Royal.
Hope you enjoyed my favorite Color's, I tag you :)
